Hi...This is the last and final part to my fanfic "Always Meant to Be". I'm
thinking of doing a sequel to it because I just had a train of new thoughts.
Most likely, I will.
E-mail me with any previous parts or if you have any feedback -good or bad
ones-. I got some pretty nasty ones from some people but I learned that it
helps me to improve, right? -Enjoy-

***Part 9***
This doubledate thingy is driving me insane. That doesn't even include the
fact that I still have to call Micheal and tell him he's about to have dinner
with my mom AND Valenti all at the SAME time. I didn't want to tell him on
the phone so maybe I'll tell him tomorrow...
"What do you mean WE are going to have dinner with your mother and Valenti?"
He nearly jumped out of his seat when I told him.
"It's only for one night and besides, I kinda told her we're gonna try to
go.."
"You're crazy! We're all trying to run away from Valenti and here you are,
asking me to sit down and eat with him??"
"Micheal, I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. You are going!" I said firmly.
"No, I'm not going."
"Gosh, what crawled up your butt? I need you there and it's really important
to me if you are. " I said as I sat down on his bed. His apartment was
really cold and it smelled like mold but oh well.
"I don't think it's a good idea, that's all." He said
"I don't either but this is a bonding experience between my mom and me, you
know? Please go.." I begged...
"Uh...fine. I'll go....for your sake.." He gave in...
I was so happy that I nearly killed him when I jumped in to give him a hug...
"Thank you so much, Micheal. You don't know how much this means to me..." I
said as I hugged him really tight not wanting to let him go.
He kissed my forehead and rubbed my back with his thumb. Micheal was really
sweet but he just doesn't show it all the time.
"When is it anyway?" He asked.
"Um, Friday night."
"Don't you have to work or something?"
"I'll work something out. Liz will understand...."
That is, I think she will...
"Maria, you wouldn't! It's a Friday night, the Crashdown will be packed. Tell
your mom you have to work...it's not safe with Valenti there." Liz said as we
walked over to her locker.
"Liz, I can't... I finally got Micheal to go and I told my mom I would go..."
"I can't handle the crowd..."
"There's Agnes..." I grinned.
"Funny...Ok. Go with your mom but be extra careful ok?"
"I'll try to get back as soon as I can. "
"Yeah yeah..." Liz mumbled.
"Hey get Isabel to help out again."
"She gave you hell the last time she did."
"But if you need help, then she's an obvious choice, ok?" I said.
"Ok, Maria."
"Hey Look, there she is right now." We turned to see her walking down the
school hall with Max.
"Hi...Liz, Maria.." Max said.
"Hey..." Isabel said.
"Isabel, Hi. Um, I wanted to know if you would help me wait tables on
Friday." Liz said.
"Again?" asked Isabel.
"It's because I can't because I have to go on a doubledate thing with
Micheal." I said.
"Why don't you just cancel?" Isabel asked,
"Because the other couple is my mom and Sheriff Valenti. I kinda said I
would go..." I answered.
"With Valenti?" Max asked.
"Yeah, I know it sounds weird but my mom wanted this bonding thing where we
all got to know each other or something."
"Okay, I'll do it. Just if Valenti gets suspicious, just stand up and leave,
alright?" Isabel said.
Friday night came sooner than I thought. I changed into a black dress and
curled my hair. I have to admit I was really really nervous.
"Mom, are you ready to go?" I shouted from my room.
"Yeah, gimme a minute. I can't find my heels." She shouted back.
Five minutes later, she walked into my room completely dressed up wearing a
dress that was extremely tight.
"Mom, you can't wear that!" I said.
"Why not? I think it looks fine."
"It's not what a mom wears. Or just wear a jacket or something." I said as I
focused back at the mirror.
"I don't see why. "
"Mom, please. I don't like it when guys look at you in a sexual way. It's
very gross."
"How is it gross?"
"It just is...knowing the fact that I know these guys and they go to my
school. Mom, just please."
She didn't say a word and went to get a wrap. When we finally got to the
restaurant, Valenti was sitting at the table. He looked different
somehow...he didn't have his cowboy hat or his uniform. He was dressed up,
dressed up to see my mom. Where was Micheal? The thought of him not showing
up gave me a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Valenti stood up and pulled our chairs so we could sit. He smelled like
aftershave...
"Good evening, ladies. You two look mighty beautiful today." He said.
He looked at my mom with googly eyes. I wanted to sock him with my 3 inch
heels.
"Ahem.." I sighed. Where is Micheal?
"Honey, Is Micheal coming?" My mom asked, with a worried look on her face.
"I'm already here..." Micheal said as he walked through the door.
Micheal still had his spiky hair but it looked different, like he tried
really hard to make it spike perfectly. He was dressed up, in a tux. He
looked hot but I stopped myself before I could actually drool.
"Am I late?" He sat down.
"No, not at all." I said.
The tall waiter came to us with our menus. Micheal looked really uncomfy in
a tux but I knew he got dressed up for me. That thought gave me a chill
through my spine...
The waiter came back after about 10 minutes. He took our orders and then
walked into the kitchen.
"So Micheal, how are things for you at your new place?" Valenti asked.
"Everything's going great." Micheal answered.
"That's good to hear." Mom said.
"So how long you and Maria been together?" Valenti asked.
"For sometime.." Micheal answered.
"But we've been together offically for a couple of days." I said.
"Well, we wanted you kids to be here because we both wanted to make an
announcement." Mom said.
"An announcement?" I asked. I hope it wasn't what I thought it was....
"Yes, an announcement. It's a decision we made that will affect you and
Kyle." Valenti said.
My head got really dizzy. My hand slid into Micheal's as I gripped tighter
and tighter. He could feel my anxiety and anger so he squeezed my hand back.
"Maria, , Jim and I are getting married."
The news hits me like a bullet. I wanted to get my purse and smack Valenti.
I stood up and walked out of the restaurant without looking back. I knew
Micheal was behind me because I felt his presence. He held my hand and we
walked all the way back to his apartment. We never said a word but he knew
what I was feeling. When we finally got there, I went and sat on his couch.
"Everything's going to be ok, Maria." He slid his arm around my waist and
pulled me closer to him.
"I don't think so..... Everything's changing. Why?"
"Change is good, I guess. Don't you want to be happy for your mom that she
found someone who wouldn't leave her, someone she could trust?"
His words shocked me.
"When have you been Mr. understanding? You were the one to say the Valenti
thing was a mistake and now you want me to be OK with my mom getting married
to the sheriff?"
"I never said you had to be OK with it, just be happy for her. I don't like
Valenti but he did his part when he didn't turn me and Max in that one time."
"What do you mean?" I couldn't believe what he was saying.
"When he didn't turn us in when Hubble got shot. Maybe we should give him a
chance."
"Whatever. This is my mom and Valenti we're talking about. That is so
gross."
I really hoped everything was just a dream so I can wake up so that
everything was the way it was.
"How come it's that whenever I get with you, something weird almost always
happens.?" I asked
"So now you're blaming me?" He loosened his hold on me.
"No...But it started with the alien thing, then the Isabel thing, and now my
mom is getting married to Valenti the day after we decided to get serious.
What does this mean?"
"That you're reading into this too much. It could be a coincidence, you
know." He looked me in the eye.
I leaned into him...
"Does this mean that Kyle's my brother now?" I said in disgust.
"Yeah.." He started to giggle...
"Now about us.."
"Yes.."
"Do you think we're suppose to be together..?" I asked.
"I suppose..." He answered casually.
"You suppose? So you're not sure? That's good to know." I backed away from
him.
"I was kidding. Yes, I know for a fact that we're supposed to be together."
"Fine, do you think we're meant to be?" I looked at him.
"Maria, we're Always Meant To Be."
