I don't own the any of the songs or characters...


"If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield

Corny watched Amber from the podium. She was dancing with Brad. The other council members danced around them. He sighed remembering an incident from a few nights ago. He was at home watching "Casablanca" on television. He had an almost empty bowl of popcorn next to him. He loved watching this movie. The show had been integrated thanks to Inez winning the Miss Teenage Hairspray Pageant and everything seemed calmer since Velma Von Tussle was arrested.

He heard a knock on his door. He opened it seeing Amber standing there.

"Amber it's almost midnight"

"I needed to talk to someone and I thought of you" she told him

"Talk about what" he asked letting her inside. He noticed that was shaking even though the night was warm.

"What's going to happen now that my mother is in jail" she asked looking at him.

"Come sit down" he said leading her to the living room. Corny sat in a chair while Amber sat on the couch.

"I'm not sure. Do you have any relatives that live near by" Corny asked. Despite her appearance he smiled at her just being there.

"An aunt but she lives an hour away" Amber answered. She started crying.

Corny stood up and sat next to her. He handed her a tissue and started rubbing her back gently trying to calm her. Amber wiped her tears.

"Maybe you can stay with Lou Ann or Tammy" he suggested knowing that they were friends.

"You think" she asked looking at him.

"Yes" he said nodding.

She smiled slightly. "Thanks Corny" Then Amber leaned over and gently kissed him. Her lips were soft and tasted like strawberries.

When they parted Amber looked mixed with emotions. She quickly stood and shaking Corny's hand said goodbye and left.

Corny went and stood by Amber and Brad. He touched her shoulder as they looked into the camera. A shiver went up his arm and through his body.

Corny smiled at her. That kiss awoke a new part of him that he thought was dead. He knew that he loved her whether it was right or wrong and one day soon he was going to tell her. But for now he would watch her dance on the show and think of ways that he could show her his feelings.

Lyrics that inspired me:

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And know I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
