As Meg was getting her stuff together for her morning classes, she noticed Thomas walk by. She quickly shoved everything into her backpack and went after him. Meg caught up to Thomas at his locker.

"Thomas?"

Thomas turned around. When he saw Meg, he turned back to his locker.

"Leave me alone," Thomas said. "We're done, Meg, and that's it."

"Please, Thomas!" Meg pleaded. "I miss you so much."

Thomas slammed his locker shut. "No, you don't. You miss Hercules."

"That's not true!"

Thomas ignored Meg and walked away. Meg sighed and leaned back against Thomas' locker. It just didn't make sense. No part of Meg wanted to be with Hercules, so why would she have told him that? And why was she trying to hook up with Hercules? She sure as hell didn't want that. Meg looked around the hallway as if it would provide the answers for her. That's when she saw Hercules down the hall, talking to Gaston. Meg narrowed her eyes and marched over to him.

"I need a moment alone with Hercules," Meg told Gaston as she approached them.

Gaston nodded and walked away. Hercules looked down at Meg and smiled.

"Morning, Meg," Hercules greeted.

"What really happened between us, Hercules?" Meg demanded. "I'm not buying your story anymore; there are too many holes."

"It's the truth," Hercules insisted.

Meg gave Hercules a quick push into the locker. "Damn it, Hercules! I am not in the mood for games."

Hercules attempted to hold his ground, but quickly gave in. "Nothing I said was true."

Meg rolled her eyes. "I know that. What happened?"

"All you could talk about was how you wanted to hook up with Thomas," Hercules said.

That answer took Meg off guard. But she had to admit, she did want to hook up with Thomas. She wasn't ready for that, though. Not yet.

"But, Thomas said he heard me say that I wanted to be with you," Meg said.

Hercules nodded. "He heard you say 'I want to be with you', but he heard it out of context. You were talking about him. What you actually said was, 'why can't I just go up to Thomas and say 'I want to be with you'?' But, you were talking about being with him physically."

That made more sense to Meg. "So, how did I end up sleeping next to you in my underwear?"

Hercules ran his hand through his hair. "You wanted to know if your body was good enough for Thomas. You stripped down to your underwear and asked me if Thomas would be disappointed with the way you look. Then, you just passed out and that was it."

"I knew I would never cheat on Thomas," Meg said. "You have to tell Thomas what you just told me."

Hercules shook his head. "No way."

Meg stared at him in disbelief. "Why not?"

"You're not supposed to be with Thomas, Meg. You're supposed to be with me," Hercules said.

"So you're just gonna tear apart my relationship with Thomas because I'm 'supposed' to be with you? Meg asked. "Meanwhile, you're still with Helga..."

"It's complicated," Hercules said.

"There's nothing complicated about it," Meg stated. "You're just a selfish jerk!"

When the door bell rang, Jasmine ran downstairs and flung open the door. She immediately threw her arms around Aladdin's neck and held him close to her.

"You can't leave me." Tears started to trickle down Jasmine's cheeks.

Aladdin hugged her back, burying his face in her hair. "I'm not leaving you," he whispered. "I'm moving away, but I'll always be yours."

Jasmine slowly pulled away from him, but kept his hand in hers. "Why weren't you at school today? I was so worried; I thought your dad came for you early."

"That's not going to happen. He wants me to finish the school year," Aladdin said. "My dad was in town today, though, and he pulled me out of school so we could talk things through."

Jasmine led Aladdin inside and up to her room.

"What did you talk about?" Jasmine asked, sitting down on her bed.

"Mostly he just went on about how I was going to the 'best' high school in the area and how he was going to be around a lot more and that things were going to be different for us," Aladdin said. "It's his way of trying to be a better father. Evidently his new boss is very family-oriented and my dad is trying to impress him by making it look like we have the perfect father-son relationship."

"Well, it's important for you to have a good relationship with your father," Jasmine said.

"The only relationship that matters to me is ours, Jasmine. And he's tearing me away from it," Aladdin said.

Aladdin sighed and lied back on the bed. Jasmine bit her lip as she looked down at him.

"Aladdin, there's something I want to talk to you about," Jasmine said.

"What is it babe?" Aladdin asked.

"I love you more than anything, Aladdin." Jasmine paused.

"I love you, too."

Jasmine took a deep breath. "I want you to be my first."

Aladdin slowly sat up, but didn't take his eyes off Jasmine. "Are you sure you're ready for that?"

"I don't know," Jasmine admitted. "But, I do know that I'm going to love you forever and I want to be able to express that with you before you leave."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Aladdin said.

Jasmine couldn't help feeling a little hurt by his rejection. "Why not?"

"Jasmine, this is a big step and we can't rush into it," Aladdin said.

"Are you saying you don't... want to do it... with me?" Jasmine asked, slowly.

"That's not what I'm saying," Aladdin replied. "I just think we need to wait."

"But, what if you leave and I never see you again?" Jasmine started crying at the thought of losing Aladdin.

Aladdin took Jasmine's hand. "That's exactly why we can't do this, babe. I don't want you to give yourself to me and then never see me again. You'll end up regretting sleeping with me."

Jasmine shook her head. "That wouldn't happen. There's no way I could ever regret anything I do with you."

"I don't want to take that chance," Aladdin said.

"You don't understand. You're the only one for me, Aladdin," Jasmine told him. "You have my heart and you always will. If we were to ever break up, I couldn't be with anyone else. I want you to have all of me. Nothing will ever change my mind about that."

"What kind of man sleeps with a girl and then leaves?" Aladdin asked.

"It wouldn't be like that," Jasmine said. "You wouldn't be using me. We'd be giving each other everything we have to give. I want all of you just as much as I want you to have all of me."

"I'm sorry, Jasmine, but I can't risk hurting you." Aladdin got up and started walking out of the bedroom.

"What if you find another girl while you're in New York?" Jasmine blurted out.

Aladdin turned around and Jasmine buried her face in her hands. Aladdin sat back down on the bed and made Jasmine look at him.

"Jasmine, no one will ever replace you," Aladdin said. "I'm yours for as long as you want me."

"I want you forever," Jasmine said.

"Then I'll be yours forever."
