They ended up floating all the way to the outside.Athena got out of the water.Nolan followed. "What the fuck was that". "What do you mean." "That's the way you wanted to kiss me." Nolan got closer to her. "You really don't remember do you". "What are you talking about". "The summer before we started highschool.Me and you were stuck in a room like that.You were wearing your green crop top with butterflies on it and you had a white tennis skirt on as well as white converse.Oh and how could I forget you had your hair in braids."Athena looked at him puzzled.He held her hand. "We were in that cave for that dare.There was no way out.Water was rising.I kissed you.You then slapped me."Athena pulled her hand away. "Yeah I remember that.That was my first kiss.But that wasn't romantic." "If only you knew what I wanted to do to you in that cave.I wanted to kiss you everywhere.I wanted to push you against that wall.But you wouldn't allow me.Then you showed me you weren't interested." "Well you were wrong.I had the biggest crush on you until you became a dick when we went to school." "I wanted to show my dominance.You were mine.You are mine." "No.Nolan.You didn't have to do any of this.Cause I would have kissed you anytime and anywhere".Athena then went up to Nolan and kissed him.

The scene pans to Xander and Renee*

"Renee what is going on". "Xander can't you see me and you are meant to be.Not you and Atena." "It's Athena". "Yeah whatever.But me and you have chemistry we have history." "No what we have is your one sided crush.The only reason I tolerated you was because our parents were friends." "You are just saying that". "Now how do I get out of here and see Athena." "You have to kiss me in the way I want." "Ew no.I would never." "I knew you were going to say that." She pulled up the scene of Nolan and Athena kissing. "Xander this is Athena willingly kissing him.She doesn't care about you.This was all a test to see who would stay faithful." "I know Athena.She would never do this.You must have altered the picture." "Xandy I don't have powers.This is real." "No.No.No".He said with his head in his hands.

The scene goes back to Nolan and Athena*

They pull apart.Nolan is smirking. "What's so funny.Where Xander." "Ha.You're funny.This was a test.You weren't supposed to kiss me." "What." "Yeah." "Well I didn't actually want to kiss you.I only wanted to see my husband." "What husband Athena.He saw us kiss.You have no marriage." "No.You're wrong." "No love.It's me and you." He gets closer to her. "Get away form me you freak."

The scene changes to them all transported to the night of the ball where everything changed*

"Why are we here".Athena sees her and Xander dancing.She then sees herself panic and run off.She sees her Xander walk up to his younger self and whis[er something in his ear.He doesn't go after Athena.Younger Xander walked off. "Alexander.What did you tell him."He didn't respond.A few minutes later they are on the stairs in front of the castle.Young Athena Has her suitcase and goes down the stairs.Young Xander says "Athena". "No Xander.I have waited six months for you to make a move.I'm done." "I'm sorry.Something was telling me to not go.That you weren't worth it." "Xander at least I know where my feelings stand.Tell me.Do you even care about me." "Yes I do".They go and hug. Older Athena sees her Xander across the steps. "Xander.Speak to me.Please." "There isn't anything to talk about.You still love him." "I could say the same thing about Renee." "Well you're wrong.I didn't kiss her." "Xander I paniced." "So." "You know what fine.Have a perfect life with Renee you two deserve each other.Nolan let's go."She pulls his arm.They teleport away.Xander looks at where they once were.He looks at his younger self with his Athena.He wanted to fight for her.He realized he chased away the most important thing in his life.He grabs Renee and they teleport as well.
