"P. SHERMAN, 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY!!" Chris and I both shouted in sync.

"I think this will always be my favourite movie," I said

"Me too!" Chris smiled

We both lean in and bump our fists together and say

"Roo squad, BOOM!"

I think this is the 7th time we've watched this movie together over the past 5 months. These last 4 months have been great! I've gotten to know Chris's family and he's gotten to know mine. I've become best friends with his older sister Kirsten and Crawford his brother is a laugh but really sweet. I love them all! A couple weeks ago, since our families have got on so well, we all decided to go on a little holiday, it was amazing! We went swimming, shopping, long walks on the beach... It was awesome. I'm pretty sure that I like this boy.

But there is some bad news, my parents might not need to have to work in Canada anymore. Which means we might have to go home... Back to New Zealand. I haven't told Chris yet.

I looked over at him to see his eyes fixed on one spot.

"Hey, I have to tell you something," I say

He looks at me with his beautiful green eyes, slightly nervous,

"Me too, but you go first," he says

"Okay, umm, mine isn't exactly.. good news." I say with a worried look.

"Oh, okay, go ahead then,"

"Um, you know how I came to Canada because of my parents work and research?" I ask

"Yeah.."

"Well, they might not need to be here, in Canada, anymore..."

Chris looks away confused, with a hint of sad. I don't blame him. I'd be bloody sad if he had to move far away.

"Oh right, I see," he says

I look away from him, holding back the tears that blur my vision. I sit there in that same purple beanbag, the one from the first time we watched Finding Nemo together.

After a couple of minutes of silent thoughts, I look over at Chris, he's thinking quite vigorously.

"Okay, now its my turn to tell you something," he says

"Alright, fire away. I hope its good news," I smile

"I've been wanting to do this for a couple months now, but I haven't had the guts to,"

Oh my god, what is he going to say? Is he..  No.. Is he?

"Ava, would you like to be my girlfriend?" Asked Chris

He did. He just did. I literally freeze. What do I say? Well yes of course. I like him. I like him very much!

I smile and say,

"Yes, I'd love that,"

I see his smiling white teeth smile so big, I can't stop smiling either. I stand up in my onesie and walk to him. I go and sit in his lap and rest my head in the crook of his neck. We both sit there in our onesies until the movie finishes. Nothing felt like it could go wrong. Apart from the fact that I might not get to see him again for a while...

"So what's going to happen when I move back to NZ?" I ask

"I don't know yet. I have a small plan, but its not set in concrete yet," he replies looking down at me.

The moment our eyes meet, Chris leans down and we kiss.
