A/N: I love you all.

Clare waited at The Dot for about 30 seconds before Eli walked in.

"Eli, over here!" Clare waved her hand in the air.

Eli sat down and looked her straight in the eye. "Hey."

"Uh, hi Eli."

"So, why did you want me to meet you here?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about something."

"What? Is something wrong?"

"Well, it's a little embarrassing."

"What, did you pee your pants or something?" Eli giggled at this a little. Clare did not.

"Eli, I'm being serious!"

"So am I. I am being completely serious." Eli smiled and laughed a bit.

Clare started to chuckle. "You have no idea how hard you are making this for me."

"Fine, go ahead."

Clare took a deep breath. "Um, okay, so I still kind of, um have, feelings for...you." Clare looked down at the table. Obviously embarassed.

"Clare look at me, please?"

Clare looked up at Eli with a little frown on her face.

"Clare, I...I feel the same way."

A smile spread across Clare's face. "Really?"

"Well, yeah. I haven't stopped thinking about you since we broke up. I tried to use Imogen to get over you, obviously that didn't work. Now that all of our problems are over, for now, mabye we could try this again."

Clare's smile actually increased in size, which was hard to believe. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Well, we're only young once, so lets just live and do what makes us happy."

"Well said, Mr. Goldsworthy. Do you think we can make it through this again? There obviously will be drama in our lives, thats an unavoidable part of high school, and life."

"Now that I'm on meds and my hoarding is under control, I think I can handle anything, as long as I'm with you."

"So, it's official then? We're back together?"

"Definatly."

They kissed across the table, and they both knew it was the start of their once again beautiful relationship.


Clare felt her phone vibrate after about an hour of being home from her talk with Eli.

"Hey Alli."

"Hi Clare!"

"I'm assuming from your tone of voice that your date with Milo went well."

"Yes! It was amazing! He kissed me and he asked me to be his girlfriend and it was so great and he's so nice and oh my god and-"

"Alli, your rambling!"

"Sorry, I'm just excited."

"I know, it's okay. That's really great Alli, I'm so happy for you." Clare said with the smile of a caring friend.

"So, how did things go with Eli?"

"Well, lets just say that we'll be going on some double dates."

"No way! I'm so happy!"

"Yeah, looks like we have the same anniversary."

"Ahhhhh! We do! This is amazing!"

"Alli, don't you think that mabye you should, watch a little anime and read a few comics?"

"...Yeah, about that, do you want to come over and watch anime and read comics with me?"

"Right now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I used to love watching anime with Darcy."

"Cool, so come over. I have no idea what I'm doing."

"Alright I'll be right over."


As Clare rode her bike over to Alli's she thought about what animes they could watch. They would go out and buy some comics another time. She and Darcy always watched this one anime called Fruits Basket on TV when they were little, they could start there...

"Wow, I'm actually enjoying this. You were right Clare."

"I hope you new boyfriend appreciates the effort." Clare said witha mouth full of popcorn.

"Mabye we should try watching a less girly anime, I think Milo said his favorite one was called Soul Eater."

"Okay, let's watch it then."

3 hours later

"Maka and Soul belong together!"

"This is the greatest thing ever!"

"I have to go home, Alli. This was really fun, I think I just became an anime fan."

"Me too, Milo is a genius. I think this relationship is going to work out, especially if we watch Soul Eater together."

Clare giggled, "We can have double dates, watching anime. I just have to get Eli hooked, that shouldn't be to hard, this is amazing."

"Yeah, I can't even believe we watched so much. Milo will be pleasantly surprised."

"He will, you're a good girlfriend. And I really have to go, see you soon!"

"See ya later alligator."

"In a while crocodile."
