-FINALE- ):

MICHAEL POV

_________________________

"Thank you so much Katherine." Ava said hugging mom. We were at mom's house letting the kids go.

"Maaaamaaa don't leave me." Plum cried onto Ava's dress.

I felt Prue's grip on my hand tighten.

I kneeled in front of Prue.

"It's only for a week honey." I said touching her cheek.

Prue just nodded tightly but still kept her grip on my hand.

Charlie started giggling. I looked to him and saw mom tickling him. He had always loved staying with his grandma.

I sighed. Time for plan B. I took out Prue's vampire teeth and her folded up mask out of my pocket.

"You have my permission to scare them." I say.

"What does pamimson mean?" Prue asked cocking her head to her side.

"It means... go scare your brothers." I say.

Prue's face brightened and she took the items out my hand.

"Don't show it to mommy!" I whisper.

She nodded and hid it behind her back.

I look back at Ava and somehow she got Plum off her.

"If you guys feel down, Auntie Ashely and Bubbles are always going to be there for you." I say smiling.

The kids shout in happiness.

"Charlie come give mommy a hug." Ava said.

Charlie hopped out of mom's arms and hugged Ava. Then he hugged me. I gave him a kiss.

We hugged and kissed the rest and waved goodbye. When we opened the door the limo was waiting for us.

"I just can't wait." Ava said.

We got into the limo and Ava smiled at me.

"Ready for our big adventure?" She asked excitedly.

"I thought this trip was all about relaxing." I say.

But I knew that what we were going to do today wasn't 'relaxing.' I planned the whole day with a fun theme. I couldn't wait.

I woke up next to a sleeping Ava in my car.

"Wu-happen" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"Mr. Jackson you're here." My driver announced.

"Thank you." I say groggy.

"Ava! Wake up!" I shout.

"I'm up, just give me a second." She sighed at me.

Her eyes fluttered open and she rubbed her eyes.

"Oh my gosh, it's so pretty here." She said.

"I know." I say.

"Let's go to our hotel, with finally no reporters." I say opening the car door.

"Thank you Michael." Ava says when we get out the car.

The fall leaves blew over my shoes and Ava's hair stuck to her face as I looked at her.

"You're welcome."

"Now shamone, I have a surprise for you." I say grabbing her hand.

______________________________

I looked at Ava once again, astonished. She looked beautiful. She was wearing my beat it costume. The jacket was baggy on her but the rest fit quite well.

"Beat it! Beat it! Beat it! Beat it! No one wants to be defeated!" Ava sang in her horrible voice. She sprang a lazy dance move.

"HEE HEE!" She added.

I smiled and grabbed her arm. I pushed up the sleeves as far as they could.

"Michael, no." Ava giggled.

I started kissing Ava's hand, trailing up her arm.

"That tickles." She laughed.

I stopped and started kissed her face.

"Michael, aren't we suppose to be going to dinner right now?" Ava said.

"Nope, I don't remember saying that." I say between kisses.

Ava gives in and starts kissing me.

"I love you." I breathe out.

"I love you too." Ava said resting her face in my neck.

"Let's go?"

_________________________

Ava eyed me suspiciously.

"Why are you sitting all the way over there?" She shouted to me, three tables across.

I smiled and shook my head. I took my phone out my pocket and dialed in her number. She picked up.

"Plumhead." I say in the phone.

Ava's expression is priceless. She looks surprised but also like she was about to cry.

"A-applehead." She whispered on the other line.

"It's been so long since..."

"OoOo waiter coming at you on your left." I say changing the subject.

She turns around and addressed the waiter. He walked away bowing.

"Hey, what did you order?" I asked her when she put the phone on her ear.

"A fruit bowl." She answered quickly.

"Michael! You're doing it all wrong, we are suppose to act like total strangers in real life but on the phone we know each other, like before." Ava added.

"Oh yeah!" I say smacking my face. She sees this and giggles.

"Why are you giggling?" I ask on the line.

"Because, there is this guy a few tables away smacking his face." She said.

I smiled.

"Oh yeah? What is he doing now?" I ask.

I get up from my chair and I bust a few dance moves. Ava is laughing hysterically.

"HEE HEE!" I shout doing the toe stand.

"MICHAEL! I CAN'T BREATHE!" She laughed hard into the phone.

"Nuh uh, I'm Applehead." I say.

After she finished laughing, the line is quiet for a while.

"Plumhead." I whisper.

"Yeah applehead?" She whispered back.

"I noticed that, I never got to tell you over the phone that I loved you. I never got to tell you my love as Applehead." I say.

"Then say it Applehead. Tell me you love me." She said.

"Plumhead, I-I..." I was startled that I stuttered.

"Yeah hun?" She said.

I felt my cheeks burn when she called me that.

"I love..."

"I-I love..."

"I love you Plumhead. And I want to see you." I finally blurt.

I felt tears fall and I'm crying. I hear Ava crying on the other line.

"A-a-applehead, I LOVE YOU TOO!" She shouted.

I couldn't and I wasn't going to hold myself back. I ran down the tables to Ava. I saw her getting up wiping her eyes. Once I got to her, I wrapped my hands around Ava. I rocked her back and forth in my arms as she and I cried.

Ava's hair smelled like strawberries and I never wanted that scent of her to go away.

We finished crying and we were both looking at each other. Ava's violet eyes stared back in mine. Her face got closer to mine and she kissed my lips, once, and so softly. I swear she could make me feel like 1 million bucks but at the same time like a cornered roach. Right now I was feeling all of that at once.

She let go of my lips and I got lost in her soft violet eyes. I didn't care about the waiters that were watching us or that my hair looked like a mess. All I wanted was to take in Ava. And I knew she wanted to take me in too.

"Ava, I have something special for you." I say in the phone.

"What is it?" She asked bringing the phone to her ear.

"You will see when we get there." I smile into the phone.

AVA POV

_________________________________

"Applehead, what is taking you so long to get ready?" I sigh in the phone impatient.

There is rustling on the other side of the phone and sounds of struggles. I hear a thump.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, just the pants are a little tight." Michael tells me a little distracted.

"Do-"

"THERE!" I was cut off by Michael's shout.

"You got it on honey?" I ask.

"Yup. And they look good."

"Well, I'm on my way to 'the secret place.'" I say a little excited.

"I can't wait! You're gonna be so happy." Michael giggled.

"Goodbye Applehead." I say.

"See ya around baby." Michael says in a smooth voice.

I let out a few laughs as I hang up.

"Let's go?" I ask the driver.

I took out my phone and looked at pictures of me and Michael took. I laughed at a picture he photo bombed me in. He was so adorable.

"We're here." My driver tells me after I watch all the videos and pictures.

"Thank you so much." I tell him.

He just smiles and I open the car door. There I see a huge stadium with lights everywhere.

"What..."

I run to it to get a better look. The stage is in a building but the stage is empty and it's silent. After a minute of silence I call Michael.

"Applehead? Where are you?!" I ask.

"Next to you." He says into the phone.

I turn around and I don't see Michael.

"I don-"

"SIKE!" Michael yells, but this time it's not on the phone, he is on stage with a microphone in his hand.

Fireworks exploded, even though I told him not to do that anymore considering the Pepsi commercial. A beat started that sounded so familiar but I haven't heard in years.

My feet start to move with the beat and at that moment I'm dancing.

Then Michael's voice came through the speakers.

"I don't need no dreams when I'm by your side!"

I couldn't believe it, Michael was singing our song. Baby be mine. And he looked ridiculous in that gold leotard. I was giggling and dancing.

When Michael sang the line "Darling let me hoold you." He looked me straight in the eye then winked.

As the song came to an end I was crying tears. Not of sadness. But of happiness. It has been so long since he preformed for me. I could feel the music in his voice.

When the song ended, Michael looked me straight in the eyes again. Then he said into the microphone.

"I love you plumhead."

I was speechless. I was able to muster a few words.

"I love you too."

"I love you more." He said. Then he was hopping off the stage and coming towards me.

He grabbed me in his arms in a way that made my heart leap with joy,

"I told you Ava, I would perform. I promised." He said.

He kissed me. His sweet soft lips caressing my lips and I loved it. I loved him. And nothing, absolutely nothing, can make me happier then this moment.

"Thank you." I whisper into Michael's shirt.

"No Plumhead, thank you." Michael whispered in my ear.

The End!

Thank you everyone. Thank you so much for being there from the beginning. I feel so sad for ending this. I would like this to live forever, just like Michael wanted to live forever. )': I know it took so long, but here it finally is. Thank you so much for waiting again. And I'm just so emotional right now. I remember when it was summer vacation and it was like 2:00am and then my brain just clicked and I had the perfect idea for a story. My dad would have been back any minute and I was sitting there writing the first chapter. xD I hope you loved this story as much as I did. Goodnight.
