a/n: sorry about the tearjereker/fluff chap, but I think it is good (but that doesn't count now does it?) no flames please.


"Aelita!" Jeremy exclaimed in shock at seeing her left arm in a cast. Tears threatened to fall down his cheeks and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What happened?"

"I fell and broke my arm... and Jeremy, the problem is more severe than it seems, I'm left handed" she replied

"I'll leave you two alone for a little while" Kaitlin said and slipped out the door.

Jeremy guided Aelita to sit on his bed and sat at her right side, only a bit behind her.

"Aelita, I'm sorry you're having to go through this" he said and wrapped his arms around her waist and guided her to lean against him. "I've wanted to say this for a long time, I love you Aelita"

"I love you too, Jeremy" Aelita said "and I couldn't imagen being anywhere else but with you"

Jeremy couldn't believe what he was hearing, she'd rather be with him than a cuter guy, like Theo, or anyone else.

"Aelita, why do you say those things?" he slipped back away from her "If you don't truly feel that way, feel free to tell me the truth, I can handle it, I've handled it all my life"

He silently moved to sit further away from her.

"Jeremy..." Aelita placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned against his back "what makes you think I lied to you?" She paused, "I didn't, what I just said was the truth, there is no one in this world I'd rather spend my time with than you... other people see a smart person who, well, they think wouldn't be the best friend" she paused again "but I see something completely different when I look at you, I see the person who helped me get here to the place I wanted to see, gave me so much up for me and asked for so very little in return. I see the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, if that is what he wants"

He slipped away in depression and stood, he felt that this was no different than any other person who claimed these things, she'd just break his heart, he didn't realize he was breaking hers.

"Jeremy, why do you think I came back, it certainly wasn't to see Odd or Ulrich, although I was glad to see them... the person I wanted to see more than anyone, the one person I feared I'd never see again, Jeremy, w-was you" tears streamed from her soft eyes as she too stood. "I'd never lie to you Jeremy, I love you, I know you've had your heart broke before, but Jeremy, I am here, and I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you as much as I do I wouldn't stand here and take this from you"

With those words he realized that no other girl would have waited as long as she did to be with him, to know what it was like to be loved, she had tolerated his emotional outburst from his frustration that the materialization had been so difficult to find, then she was forced to the past of Earth by Xana, who must have thought she'd never find her way back, but before he knew it she was back.

She sat back on the bed and started crying, she couldn't believe that he didn't believe her, couldn't find it in his heart to trust her love to be true. Jeremy sat down beside Aelita, this emotional display was more than he could stand.

"Aelita, I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, I love you, and I guess it's hard for me to accept what I was hearing, after being insulted by people, especially girls, my entire life, that what I was hearing from you was hard for me to believe" he said "will you forgive me?"

"Yes, Jeremy, how could I not?" she looked at him and then felt him pull her into a loving embrace.

They soon found themselves laying together on his bed fast asleep, in each other's arms. (Nothing inappropriate happened, she's still virgin, and is not pregnant!)

Their bond only grew stronger from there.

They materialized Alex, and thenshut down Xana in front of their friends, who had supported them through thick and thin knowing in their hearts, that they would always have their friends and each other, no matter what.
