Nessa: Did you just say you're engaged?!

Roni: Oh forget that. You made a decision?!

Nessa nods happily.

Alex and Aaron look out the window to see the girl jumping and hugging with joy.

Alex: What do you think they're talking about?

Aaron: Food?

Alex: Speaking of that. Let's go get some.

They grab food for them and the twins.

Aaron: Hey!

Nessa stares Aaron down.

Aaron: Woah. What's with that look?

Nessa: Try anything. You're dead.

Aaron looks at Roni.

Aaron: You told her, didn't you?

Roni nods her head.

Alex: I'm confused. What's happening here?

Nessa: Roni's engaged!

Alex: No way! To who?

Aaron, Roni, and Nessa stare at Alex in disbelief.

Aaron: Me!

Alex: Ugh finally! Took you long enough.

Aaron: Woah.

Alex: Like I'm wrong. Alex rolls his eyes.

Roni: So...nessa?

Nessa: Not now Roni.

Alex: What?

Nessa: Nothing!

Alex: So we should probably go home today?

Nessa: Yeah. As much as I love being here. I miss L.A a little bit.

Roni: Alright then it's settled.

Nessa: Yes. But before we go. I want to talk to you.

All: Who?

Nessa grabs Alex's hand.

Aaron exchanges a look with Roni.

Nessa: I..uh just. Nessa sighs.

Alex: It's ok. I understand.

Nessa: But you don't.

Alex grabs her hands in his.

Alex: I do. Now let's just go pack and get you home.

Nessa smiles.

Roni: What happened? Are you together yet?

Nessa shakes her head no.

Roni: What?! Why? You said you made your decision.

Nessa: I did.

Roni: So you chose someone else?

Nessa: Yes.

Roni: Who?!

Nessa: Myself. I need to take care of myself before I have time to take care of someone else.

Roni: Ok. I get that.

Nessa: So..when did Aaron propose?

Roni: He proposed while we were looking for you in Greece.

Nessa: I wasn't in Greece.

Roni: Oh. Well ok then.

Nessa: How'd he do it?

Roni: Nothing special. Just proposed.

Nessa: Ok. Are you all ready to go?

Aaron: Are you?

Nessa: Yeah. I am.

They arrive home after a few flights.

Roni: I'm exhausted.

Aaron: Yeah. Roni and I will be upstairs. See you guys later.

Alex: Ok, later!

Alex begins to leave.

Nessa: Alex? Wait, please!

Alex: What's up Nessa?

Nessa: You know how in the very beginning of the year I had to write something about being second choice.

Alex: Yeah?

Nessa: I finally finished the essay.

Alex: So what does this mean?

Nessa smiles and walks closer to Alex.

Nessa: Since I picked myself...how do you feel about being second choice?

Alex: Wouldn't ask for anything else.

Alex and Nessa kiss.

Nessa: I love you Alex Wassabi.

Alex: I love you too Vanessa Merrell. I always have.

The End :)
