The ride home seemed a lot quicker than the ride there, Kellyn thought. Before she knew it they were five minutes from home. All she had been able to think about the entire way home was Scott. She couldn't believe how much she missed him.

"Mom can we go to Michigan?" Kel asked, knowing the answer.

"Why would you want to go to Michigan, Kellyn?" Mrs. Archer asked with a quick laugh.

"No reason."

Scott pulled into the empty Archer driveway and swore aloud to himself. He had hoped she would be home.

"Sorry bro." Clint said and put his hand on Scott's arm the was tense.

"Where IS she? Isn't it a school night?" Scott said to no one in particular. He almost peeked out a grin. He hadn't really been able to use that phrase on a normal basis. School night.

"Hmph, yeah." Clint replied and watched as a car pulled into the driveway behind them. Scott jumped as the headlights of the oncoming car blinded him.

"KEL!" Scott yelled and just about leaped out of the car.

Kel knew she was hallucinating when she saw Scott Moffatt in her driveway.

"Who the heck...??" Mrs. Archer said, confused.

When Kel heard her mom she knew she must not be seeing thing and hopped out of the car before the engine was even off. The two teens raced toward each other and locked in an embrace.

"I missed you so much!" Kel whispered in Scott's ear as they hugged powerfully.

"You have no idea..." Scott responded.

Mrs. Archer stumbled out of the car at the same time Clint emerged from the Moffatt car. "Kellyn?!!?" She questioned rather loudly. The two pulled out of the hug but kept their eyes locked on each other. Without looking away from Scott, Kel explained.

"It's him."

"WHO?" Mrs. Archer asked, but she knew what Kellyn was feeling. Then it dawned on her. The Moffatt boy.

Mrs. Archer noticed the other teenage boy watching Scott and Kel. She decided Kel was a big girl and could make her own choices. Kel couldn't believe how cool her mom was being about all this as her mom quietly slipped past the two and invited Clint in for a drink.

"I'd love to." Clint accepted and followed Mrs. Archer into the house.

"Kel, I want to be with you." Scott said and leaned in for another kiss.

Kel playfully pushed him back. "I want to be with you too. What would the fans think, though?" She laughed and Scott smiled, slipping his hand around the small of her back and slightly underneath her shirt.
