Chapter Ten: Happily Ever After

Joe & Stella's Date

Joe pulled up to Stella's house around 8pm, and let out a deep breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding as he approached the front door. He rang the doorbell and tugged on his jacket and held his breath as the front door opened to reveal Stella in a red bubble dress with a black ribbon belt tied around her waist, and black cardigan sweater over her shoulders.

"Wow…you look…absolutely beautiful," Joe said breathlessly.

Stella's cheeks tinged pink as she smiled at him. "Thank you. I see the Stellavator did an excellent job on your attire."

"Well it was certainly made by the best," he said with a smile.

"So where are we headed?" she asked, as she stepped out onto the front porch, closing the door behind her.

Joe grinned as he held his arm out to her. "That, my dear, is a surprise."

Stella smiled as she bit her bottom lip and allowed him to lead her to the car.

After about a fifteen minute ride, they pulled up to a local park. Stella looked over at him with a confused look. "The park?"

Joe just raised his eyebrows at her as he stepped out of the car, hurrying to the passenger side to assist her. He then took her hand and said, "Alright. Now close your eyes."

"Joe? What's this about?"

"Just trust me and close your eyes."

Stella sighed, but did as she was told. "I swear, Joseph, if you make me fall and stain this dress, you will be on the worst dressed list for at least three months!"

Joe chuckled, but in the back of his mind knew she was serious. "Just trust me, Stells. I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

She allowed for herself to be pulled where Joe was taking her. After a while she asked, "Are we there yet?"

"Almost," he said softly.

Soon, they stopped, and Joe released her hand. "Can I open my eyes now?"

She felt a pair of hands rest themselves on her hips, a warm body behind her, and warm air graze her neck as she heard Joe whisper, "Alright. Open your eyes."

Stella opened her eyes, and gasped. There in front of her, was a white gazebo, lit up with different colored lights, and a white metal table set for two in the center of it. Her hands flew to her mouth as she said, "Oh Joe. It's beautiful."

"I was hoping you'd like it," he said, stepping out from behind her to her side.

She turned to him. "Like it? I LOVE it! It's absolutely perfect," she said, throwing her arms around his neck to hug him. She pulled away and let Joe take her hand and lead her to the table, when they reached the table, her face fell.

"Sandwiches?"

Joe gave her a sheepish look. "You know I can't cook. If it makes you feel better, I made them myself!"

Stella gave him a look before she chuckled and said, "Let me guess. Peanut butter & Jelly?"

Joe's face fell in shock. "How'd you know?"

Stella laughed to herself. "Because I've known you for so long that I know it's your favorite, and the only kind of sandwich you really know how to make."

Joe's face fell. "I'm sorry. I tried."

Stella grabbed the sides of his face to kiss him gently. "It's perfect because it's so you," she said softly after she pulled away.

Joe gave her a nervous grin before he side stepped her to pull her chair out for her. The next hour was filled with laughing, small talk, and carefully eating their 'dinner'. Joe's chair had found it's way right next to hers as they ate chocolate covered strawberries. As Joe went to take a bite of one, a drop of chocolate found its way to the front of his shirt. He automatically froze as Stella's face dropped. He followed her gaze and he paled slightly.

"I'm SO sorry! It was an accident. I swear!"

Stella stared at him for another moment before a grin broke out across her face. She reached into her purse and pulled out a small bottle. "Nothing a little club soda won't fix."

Joe looked at her adoringly. "You know me so well."

"It's a plus I would say," she said, as she took one of the cloth napkins, and poured a small amount of the club soda on it. She then leaned over to dab away the chocolate.

A few minutes later, Stella sat back and let out a sigh. "There. I'll seltzer it later to make sure it doesn't stain for sure." Joe then stood up and held his hand out to her. "What?" she asked.

"Dance with me?"

Stella took his hand as she giggled lightly. "But there's no music."

"You're dating the lead singer of one of the most popular bands in the world. You don't need music."

Stella smiled softly as she slipped her arms around his neck, letting his hands rest on her waist. They swayed lightly as he started to hum a random song. She soon rested her head on his chest, allowing his arms to wrap tightly around her. He eventually stopped humming, just resting his head on top of hers, both of them enjoying the feel of being in each others arms.

"I love you," she whispered softly.

Joe stopped their swaying, and used one hand to tilt her face up to look at him. He leaned in and kissed her, and after a few minutes, he pulled away before whispering back. "I love you, too Stells."

She gave him a sweet smile before she kissed him again, both of them oblivious to the shower of falling stars around them.

Nick & Macy's Date

"What would be your perfect date?" Macy asked Nick one day at lunch.

Nick's fork stopped in mid-air as he looked over at her. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"

"Who said I was traditional?" she said with a smirk.

Nick raised an eyebrow as his lips mimicked hers. "Well then…I'd have to say anywhere as long as I was with you," he said, taking a bite of his salad.

"That's so cliché and you know it," she said, peeling the skin off of her orange.

"You know me…the hopeless romantic."

"You're not hopeless," she sighed.

"But I'm romantic."

"I wouldn't know. We haven't been on our first date yet," she said simply.

"Well then Miss Macy Misa, what is your perfect date?" he asked, setting down his fork, and draping his arm across the back of her chair.

Macy's eyes remained fixed on her orange as her cheeks reddened. "You'll laugh at me."

Nick furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would I laugh at you?"

She remained on the task at hand as she answered, "Because it's not really all that romantic or anything. It's just…my perfect outting in mind."

"I won't laugh at you, Mace."

She looked up at him with her big brown eyes. "Promise?"

Nick held up his hand. "Scouts honor."

Macy sighed before she said, "Well…I've always wanted my perfect date to take place at a Yankee's game. Sitting behind home plate with his arm wrapped around me as we watched the game, then going out for a Chicago style pizza that we'd share as we went over the highlights of the game. Then we'd take a stroll around Central Park underneath the stars before we head home."

Nick watched as Macy's eyes glazed over as she pictured the scene in her mind, and the corner of his mouth turned up. She really was different. And it was adorable.

Macy turned her gaze to him before her face fell at the sight of his half smile. "I knew you'd laugh at me!"

"Oh no, honey, I'm not laughing at you," he said as he put his arms around her shoulders.

"Yes you were."

"Honest I wasn't."

"Then what was the smile for?" she accused.

"Because I was just thinking how adorable you are."

Macy pushed against him. "You're trying to suck up."

He pressed his lips gently to her temple before he whispered, "No. I'm being honest."

Macy looked up at him before she sighed. "Sorry. It's just that everybody else I bring that up to laughs at me. They say it's unrealistic and not what a date should be, but what do they know?"

"Exactly. It sounds just like you which is why I love it."

Macy's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Nick nodded. "Yes. I do."

Macy kissed him lightly before she pulled back and turned back to her orange. "I knew there was a reason I liked you so much."

Nick chuckled as he turned back to his lunch. "Glad to hear it."

That Saturday, Nick showed up at Macy's house at 11am like he had said he would be. He was dressed down in simple jeans, a long sleeve flannel shirt, tennis shoes, and coat. Macy opened the door with a smile. "Hey! Right on time."

Nick smiled. "Yup. You ready?"

Macy nodded. "Yeah. Let me grab my coat real quick." She emerged seconds later with a yellow and pink coat over jeans, a plain white shirt, and converse. "So where are we headed?"

"It's a surprise."

"A surprise?" she asked, her face lighting up.

Nick smiled as he led her to the car. "Yup. Now. Get in or we're gonna be late."

After about a two hour car ride, they pulled up to Yankee Stadium, and when Macy realized where they were after they got out of the car, she squealed and threw her arms around Nick's neck, hugging him tight. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" She pulled back, grabbed his face and began kissing him rather forcefully over and over as she said, "You…are…the…best…boyfriend…ever!"

Nick smiled when she finally pulled away. "Whoa. Calm down, Mace. Not that I didn't enjoy that little display of affection."

Macy just bounced on her toes as she took Nick's hand, and he led them to the front gates. They took their seats in a private box behind home plate, and Macy was going crazy. "I can't believe you did this! We have perfect seats. We're seated somewhat inside so it's not too cold, you can see EVERYTHING, and it's like we're part of the game!" She hugged him tightly around the middle, burying the side of her face into her chest. "Can you be anymore perfect?"

Nick smirked. "I'll let you be the judge of that."

It wasn't long before the game started, and the smile never left Macy's face. In the 7th inning, when the Yankee's were in a rather large lead, Macy finally leaned back in her chair. "Wow. This game has been so awesome."

Nick draped his arm across her shoulders as he smiled down at her. "I have to agree. For a while there, I thought A-Rod was going to be the doom of us."

Macy nodded her head in agreement. "I think he's got Kate Hudson on the brain."

Nick chuckled as he ran his thumb absentmindedly across her shoulder. "Yeah girlfriends can be distracting."

Macy smirked up at him as she reached up with her hand to hold his that was on her shoulder. "So I'm a distraction?"

Nick shook his head. "No, my dear. You are quite the opposite."

Macy's face scrunched up in confusion. "Huh?"

Nick smiled as he said, "You're not my distraction. You're my inspiration."

Macy smiled and bit her bottom lip. "You really are the romantic."

Nick leaned down so their noses were touching before he said, "Now you can tell those people that laughed at you that this can indeed be a romantic outing."

Macy giggled as she leaned in to kiss him for a moment before they returned their attention to the game. After it was over, they made their way to a small pizzeria that Nick and his brothers had come across while doing a concert in New York that had the best Chicago style pizza they'd had (without being in Chicago of course). Once they had their fill, they walked the few blocks to Central Park, and walked, fingers laced, along one of the trails.

Macy sighed with a smile on her face as she looked up at the sky, her breath coming out as a white mist. "This has been," she lowered her gaze to Nick's eyes, "the best day of my life."

Nick smiled, his head dropping momentarily before he looked up at her. "I'm glad. And…I've got one more surprise for you."

Macy's eyes lit up. "Really? What could you possibly do now? You've done everything I wanted."

Nick took her hand and led her to a large oak tree. "But this is something I want to do."

He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out an ice pick. Macy's eyes widened and she paled. "What are you gonna do with that?"

Nick's face fell as he took in her expression. "Carve our initials in this tree. What'd you think I was gonna do with it?" He saw her sigh in relief, and he started laughing. Not just a chuckle, but an actual laugh.

"What!? It's not funny!" she defended, but she couldn't help but laugh as well. Nick's laugh was contagious with it being as rare as it was.

"You need to quit watching so many cop shows," he said, as he turned to the tree.

She stepped up to him sheepishly as he began to carve their initials in the tree. "So you're really gonna carve our initials in this tree?"

Nick nodded as he finished his initials and started on the plus sign. "Yup."

"Even though we've only been dating for two months?"

Nick stopped in the middle of carving Macy's initials and turned to her. "What? Too soon?"

Macy smiled softly at him. "No. I think it's sweet."

Nick smiled as he turned back to the tree. Soon, he stepped back, putting the pick back in his pocket. "There," he said.

Macy came up next to him to look at his work. There, carved in the middle of the oak tree was:

N.L.

M.M

It was simple, but Macy couldn't help the tears that started to form in her eyes. She turned to Nick, and his face fell. But before he could get a word out, she grabbed the sides of his face, and kissed him deeply. Nick immediately kissed her back, his arms easily wrapping around her.

When they finally pulled just a breath away when oxygen was calling their names, they stared into each others eyes.

"I love you," they whispered at the same time.

A grin graced both of their faces momentarily before they closed the gap between them once again, their hearts bursting with the love they were pouring into each other.

Kevin & Nikki's Date

Kevin pulled up to Nikki's house, dressed in a simple gray tux with a black skinny tie. He rang Nikki's doorbell and tugged nervously on his tie as he waited. Soon, the door opened to reveal Nikki's mom, Kim. She smiled at him before stepping back to let him in. "Come on in, Kevin. Nikki's almost ready."

Kevin smiled at her. "Thanks, Mrs. Rivera."

Kevin walked into the sitting room as Kim shut the door behind him. "Can I get you anything?"

Kevin shook his head and smiled. "No thank you. We're about to head to dinner."

Kim smiled. "Alright then. I'll go see how Nikki's coming along."

Kim left the room, and Kevin looked around at the pictures that weren't there the last time he was over. Soon, he heard the sound of heels on the hardwood floor and turned to see Nikki entering the room, and his jaw dropped. There stood Nikki in a green silk halter top cocktail dress, and silver heels. Her hair was down in summer waves and Kevin's turquoise necklace was around her neck.

She stepped towards him as he held his hands out to her. "Wow. You look…beautiful."

Nikki smiled as her cheeks flushed slightly. "Thank you. I see Stella had a hand in picking out your clothes as well."

Kevin nodded. "Always."

"You kids have fun now. Just be home by mid-night," Kim said as she stood in the doorway.

"But mom, I told you the movie ends at 10," Nikki said, as Kevin opened the door.

Kim smiled. "I know."

Nikki smiled at her mother before they turned out the door. "I'll have her home in plenty of time, Mrs. Rivera."

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome. Now go. And call if you need anything."

Kevin and Nikki then made their way to a fancy restaurant. Once they were seated in a cozy booth, Nikki said, "Wow Kevin. This is a little…over the top don't you think?"

Kevin smiled at her. "Nothing's too much for you."

Nikki smiled as she looked down at her menu.

They had a very peaceful dinner filled with small talk, and Nikki hearing more of Kevin's crazy interests that she found rather amusing and loved. Afterwards, they headed to a well known theatre downtown. "I thought we were going to see a movie?" Nikki said, as they strolled up to the ticket booth, her arm linked with his.

"Well, I know how much you love theatre, so I thought I'd bring you to see a Broadway play."

Nikki smiled up at him as she hugged his arm lightly. "You are so thoughtful."

Once they were seated, Nikki took a look at her program and gasped. "Wicked?! I've been wanting to see this for ages!"

"Oh me too! The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites of all time."

Nikki's mouth dropped. "You're kidding?"

Kevin shook his head as confusion became apparent on his face. "No. Why?"

"It's my favorite too!"

It was Kevin's turn to look shocked. "Seriously? Did you see the mini-series Tin Man?"

"I have it on DVD!"

"You do? We're so having a marathon at your house."

Nikki smiled. "I'd like that."

"Could I dress up like the Tin Man?"

"From the series or the movie?"

Kevin looked thoughtful for a moment before he said, "It'd have to be from the series because I don't own an actual tin suit."

Nikki laughed lightly as she laced their fingers together. "Then I'll have to dress up like DG. Besides, I don't own any ruby slippers."

"Are you sure it's not because of the hidden love between Cain and DG?" Kevin asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

Nikki smirked at him. "We'll call it a plus."

Kevin raised her hand to his lips, placing a kiss on the back of her hand. "Sounds like a plan to me."

The play soon started, and as they left, they were full of excitement. "That was the best musical I've ever seen! And I've seen Chicago on Broadway."

"Really? You have? I've always wanted to because I liked the movie, but with our schedule, we never had the chance to."

"We'll have to check the listings and see when it shows next time, and then maybe we could go."

Kevin smiled over at her. "We could make a weekend of it."

"Just the two of us?" she asked, as they reached the car.

Kevin nodded. "Yeah. We'll leave on a Saturday morning for New York and head back Sunday night."

Nikki looked down at their linked hands as she said softly, "Wh-where would we stay?"

Kevin gave her a look. "In a hotel," he said as if it was obvious.

Nikki smiled at him. "I get that."

"Then what were-" he paused as his face dawned with realization. "Oh! Uh…we could get separate rooms if that would make you more comfortable."

Nikki looked down, a blush painted on her cheeks, and it wasn't from the cold. "Well um…actually…could we share a room?" she asked, shyly looking up at him.

If Nikki looked hard enough, she could see Kevin's eyes darken even with it being dark outside. "Uh…I…I suppose w-we could."

Nikki licked her lips. "I only say that because it's such a big city, and I'd hate to be in a room all by myself."

Kevin gave her a soft smile. "I don't see any harm in it. I'd be sure to get us a room with two comfy beds that way, you won't be scared. Because honestly, I'd be a little uncomfortable in a room all by myself too."

Nikki smiled at him. "I like that idea."

"And you trust me well enough to share a room with me?"

Nikki nodded. "I do. You're not like any of the other guys I've dated who would've jumped at the opportunity to share a room with me. You offered to get a room with double beds to respect our boundaries, and I respect and trust you because of that." She slipped her arms around his neck. "You are so genuine, sincere, and such a perfect gentleman. How come no other girl has snatched you up and kept hold of you, yet?"

Kevin smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Because I've been waiting for a girl like you."

Nikki smiled as she leaned in to kiss him gently. She leaned back to run her fingers through his curly hair before resting her forehead against his. "You're so perfect."

Kevin gave her a small smile. "Far from it."

She looked into his eyes before she whispered. "You're perfect for me."

Kevin reached up to run is thumb across her cheek before he said, "Then I guess that's all that matters, right?"

Nikki smiled before Kevin leaned down to kiss her deeply. Then suddenly, it was as if their worlds couldn't possibly get anymore perfect. And Kevin was so happy that he met and got to know the new girl.

-----------

Well that's the end guys! I really hoped you guys enjoyed it. And yes, I do realize that this story mainly revolves around Kevin&Nikki and that Nick&Macy's date was longer and more elaborate, but that's only because they're my OTP, so I can't help but get carried away when I'm writing about them. But I know that a select few of you won't mind. (;

But anyway, I'm going to be starting a new multi-chapter fic that's Nacy-centric here pretty soon with an idea that WyszLo gave me, and I'm really looking forward to starting it. It might be a while before it gets up though, because I've got a Psychology paper due here in a couple of days, an English paper due next week, and eight more hours of Pharmacy Tech continuing education hours to get in before next month. But I'm going to try and get the first chapter up at least by the end of the month. But don't sue or come after me if I don't. I promise it'll be up soon though! BUT…to give you an idea of what it'll be about, here's a quick summary for ya…

Best friends, Nick and Macy, are Christmas shopping at the mall for their friends and family, when they're suddenly bombarded by paparazzi. The experience leaves Macy rattled, but Nick's determined to make her more than just his best friend. After New Years furthers their relationship, Macy's fear of the paparazzi continues, so they make a vow to keep their relationship under wraps from everybody, including Joe, Kevin, and Stella. The story follows them as they go about their relationship trying to keep it secret from everyone, and trying to explain themselves when they're caught in some…compromising situations.

I've already got all the way up through New Years planned in my head, I just gotta type 'em out. And I do believe this is like the LONGEST author's note in history and is almost as long as the chapter itself (LOL). So I'm gonna stop now. Favorites and Alerts are awesome but Reviews are the best! Much love! *hugs*
