"Hey! I happen ta be a very fun person to be around," Mike retorted. "Sides, we's all know I'm Feisty's favorite twin. Right?"

"No comment," Feister replied with a laugh.

"HA!" Ike yelled.

"Get off my back!" Feister said in annoyance as she shoved Ike away. Before she could say anything else Buttons, Sniper and Romeo tackled her to the ground Well, they were actually trying to hug her, which didn't go as planned. "We missed ya!" they exclaimed.

"Missed you dummies too," Feister replied in a fit of laughter. Oh, how she missed the craziness. She was too busy laughing that she almost didn't notice that someone picked her off the ground. She soon found out it was Finch and Jojo, who hugged her tightly, but not too tightly. There were more hugs and a lot of other crazy stuff. With so many boys around her, Feister couldn't tell who was saying what to her. She would never say this out loud, but she missed these stupid idiots.

Even if they do drive her up the walls, she still loved them. After all, she's their sister and they're her brothers. "Ya didn't hafta do that ya know," Crutchie said as he hugged Feister tightly. "An' let those goons get ya?" she asked. "Not on my watch." That's she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Heya Feisty," an all too familiar voice said. Feister's heart stopped and she started to get butterflies in her stomach again. Feister let go of the hug with Crutchie, who had a big goofy grin and a knowing look in his eyes. Taking a deep breath she turned around and, for the first time in ages, their eyes met once again.

Before anything was said, Mush slipped a hand onto Feister's cheek and the other on the waist. He pulled her closer in one swift move and, without even hesitating like before, he kissed her right then and there. Feister was a bit shocked at first, since this couldn't really be happening. But after a few moments all those thoughts washed away as she went weak in the knees and melted into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer.

Sure, Feister had to stand on her toes since she's a lot shorter than Mush is, yet, it made it all that more perfect. There were a bunch of hoots and hollers from the boys. but she didn't care, she was wrapped up in her own world. This is something she's been wanting to do since...forever. It was perfect in every way.

And Feister didn't care it was in front of everyone. This was her moment, and it couldn't be any better. When Feister felt like she couldn't breathe anymore she slowly pulled back with the biggest smile on her face, and wide eyes. Mush was smiling too, he finally got the guts, and made a move on Feister. He pressed his forehead onto hers, and when she looked up her nose lightly brushed against his. "Be my goil?" Mush whispered tenderly while stroking her cheek with his thumb, as he looked into her dark brown fiery eyes.

Feister's eyes went wide at the sound of his words. The words she's been wanting to hear since she was thirteen. Now that Feister thinks about it, she remembered she used to think it was just a silly crush that would blow over in a couple of months. But it never did, instead it grew stronger with every day that went by, and now, that silly little crush was becoming something more. "I already was," Feister replied softly. She then leaned up and kissed him, which ended up lasting longer than planned.

"It's bout time ya got together!" Kid Blink yelled. This caused Mush and Feister to break the kiss and glare at Blink, who shrugged and said, "It's true an' you'se know it."

Mush and Feister then laughed before looking into each other's eyes with big smiles. After a lifelong friendship that had it's up and downs, it finally happened. They had their first kiss. It wasn't Mush's first kiss, and Feister knew that, but it was hers, and she couldn't be happier that it was with the person she loves the most.
