Elizabeth ran up to her room, putting her purse on the bed, before changing her clothes. She had to go and tell Moon how everything was OK between her and Lucky. Well, it was more than OK. After the party at his parents' house, which he spent holding her one way or the other, he walked her home. On the porch he took her once again in his arms and flashed his great smile at her.
"-You know, after I found out you were Outcast, I thought a lot, before getting in the chat room. I think fate was trying to tell us something.
-Like what?
-We are meant to be together maybe? You liked Cowboy, and you liked Lucky. They were both the same great guy, which is me. I liked Outcast and it was killing me to know she lived so far away, but at the same time I couldn't help but be drawn to you so fast it scares me. Again, same person.
-Where are you going with this Lucky?
-Well, what I'm trying to say, why don't we make it official? I mean, you be my girl, so then the whole world would know about how we are meant to be together. But I'll understand if it's too fast, I mean--
-Will you shut up already? Boy, and I thought Lucky was the shy side of your personality
-Very funny. Lucky said, getting his head close to hers
-I thought so, Cowboy."
Elizabeth, for the first time, took it upon her and kissed him gently, fighting the urge to take him whole in her arms to let him know how much affect he had on her. She lost the battle, putting her arms around his waist, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. He put both his hands on her face, holding it closer to his, moving his face from one side of her nose to the other, tenderly, endlessly. Elizabeth was pulling his waist closer to her, letting her tongue dance with his. After a too short period Lucky broke the kiss, saying it was time for him to go home. Elizabeth sighed and watched him walk away.
"-Think about what I asked. He said from the sidewalk, before walking away
-Lucky? She said after he walked in front of the next house.
-Yeah? He answered, turning in her direction
-I'd love to be your girl"
Elizabeth was sitting at the computer, waiting to log in the chat room. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she got in and found herself with 3 other people.
"MoonV: Hey Elizabeth, I didn't know you'd be back tonight
Outcast: Well, I had to tell you about my date tonight. Everything is cool now
MoonV: It is?
Outcast: Yeah, after I left here, I went back to his house to apologize.
MoonV: Don't keep me in suspense girl
Outcast: Well, let's just say that we are not only cyber-married now. We are officially a couple
MoonV: FOR REAL? ALL RIGHT!
Fanatic: What's going on?
Outcast: Hi fanatic, I don't think we've met before. I'm Elizabeth
Fanatic: I'm Carolyne. I haven't been here in forever. Adam's been keeping me busy. So, what's so great?
MoonV: Elizabeth is going out with Cowboy
Fanatic: OUR Cowboy?
MoonV: Himself. Isn't it great
Fanatic: Yeah, it's great! Finally he found someone
Outcast: Wait a minute, what do you mean?
Fanatic: Well, Moon and I have known Cowboy for quite some time, and he always said the woman who would take his heart would have to be really special. So far, he had no luck.
Cowboy entered the chat
Outcast: Oh stop *blushing*
MoonV: No it's true. Hey Cowboy, coming in for a ride?
Cowboy: Hey moon, hi Elizabeth. What's true?
Fanatic: What you said about the one who would take your heart
Cowboy: CAROLYNE! I can't believe you repeated that!
Outcast: I'm quite glad she did actually!
Cowboy: Yeah well she was lying! LOL
Outcast: Bite me
Tamekia: What's the matter Lorenzo, honeymoon's over already?
Cowboy: Hey Tam. Did you just put honey and Moon in the same sentence? Somehow, I don't think that works. Oh and Elizabeth? Gladly
MoonV: Lorenzo, (_!_) *imitating Lorenzo* How many times do I have to tell you I don't wanna see your hairy butt
Cowboy: ROTFLMBO
Outcast: In your case sweetie, it should be ROTFLMVCBO
Cowboy: Ok, I'll bite, what does that mean?
Outcast: Roll On The Floor Laughing My Very Cute Butt Off
MoonV: LOL, Elizabeth, don't start getting his head blown up
Fanatic: Moon, aren't you the one who always say men don't have heads?
Tamekia: Hey, I want to know more about the honeymoon. You know me!
Cowboy: Unfortunately, I can't say as long as Caro is here
Outcast: Why not?
Cowboy: Cause Caro over there is my virgin ears. If you say something that imply sex, she blushes to the root and giggles like a school girl
Fanatic: I DO NOT
Cowboy: Ok then. Elizabeth and I started with a long, hot shower, together of course, then--
Fanatic: We don't want a description Lorenzo
Cowboy: See?
MoonV: ROTFLMBOAGIBOSIDLS (Go ahead Cowboy)
Cowboy: TOO LATE. Listen girls, it's been fun, but I have to go to bed, school tomorrow. See ya around and Elizabeth, I'll meet you at your locker before English?
Outcast: Sure, I have to go to bed too. Bye guys. Lorenzo, I'll see you there.
Cowboy: Dreams of gold everyone.
Cowboy left the chat
Outcast left the chat"
Elizabeth was ready to bed, fluffing the pillows and getting under the covers, when the phone rang. Without getting up she answered, smiling. She knew who it was even before he talked.
"-Hi Lucky
-How'd you know it was me?
-I just did. You calling to wish me good night?
-Yeah, I thought it was a little impersonal wishing my girl good night on the net.
-I knew it. If you didn't call me, I would've called you.
-I waited a little to let you get ready. Are you in bed?
-Yes, all tucked in, why?
-Just asking. Lucky started to laugh nervously
-What?
-Nothing, I just thought about something and now I'm blushing like hell
-Oh God, what did you thought about?
-I'm not gonna tell you
-Oh yes you are
-In your dreams.
-You are, every night baby. Now spit it
-You want me to die of embarrassment don't you?
-Oh trust me Cowboy, if I wanted you to die, you'd know. Besides, I don't think I'm on your insurance policy just yet, now am I? Elizabeth said, repeating what she said the first night on the chat. Lucky? She asked, when he didn't say anything
-I'm here. Elizabeth, did you wire my brain?
-What kind of question is that? She asked in a laugh
-How did you know what I was thinking just now?
-I didn't. Why you say that?
-Well, when you said you were in bed just now, I got into this weird mood, like at our first meeting, and I kept thinking about that sentence you wrote that got to me. I felt stupid and I blushed. But then you said it.
-The insurance thing?
-Not really, Lucky laughed
-Oh the Cowboy thing? You wanted to hear me say that? It was her turn to blush
-Told you it was stupid. But I mean hey, at least I didn't ask you to give me my right, as a husband. Not yet anyway.
-Oh you did not just say that! Elizabeth laughed
-What's the matter Mrs. Cowboy? When you are not behind a computer screen you lose your boldness?
-You'll lose something else if you keep this up
-You wouldn't hurt me, I'm too cute.
-I'm starting to think I liked the shy face of your personality a little better!
-Oh please, you are starting to sound like Moon! Lucky said in a laugh
-Watch it babe, she's my friend
-Ok, ok, time to say goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow
-All right. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite
-Dreams of gold Elizabeth
-It sounds just the way I imagined it.
-How's that?
-Sweet. True. Night
-Good Night, Elizabeth"
Elizabeth fell asleep with a smile, holding her teddy bear Boris, knowing when she would wake up the next day the sun would shine on her because she would never be alone again. Never again would she be an Outcast.
The end.
