Author's Note: This is going to be the only A/N in this story. First off, I'm sorry for clogging your inbox if I'm on your author alert list and you got an email for every chapter. I don't know if that's normal, but it happens to me with stories I'm not alerted to so. Yeah. (: Secondly, this is nine chapters long and each chapter focuses on a different emotion. It's in order, so it's actually a story and not just drabble. Some chapters are from Alex's POV, some are from Mitchie's, so I'll post whose POV it is under the title of each chapter. (:
I really hope you guys enjoy this. I've been working on it since January and the idea came to me in December. o_o So you better review! :P

(Alex)
Sleep was tugging at her, tauntingly waving her in with promises of the sweetest dreams. She fought it off and struggled to keep her eyes open and focused on the mess of hair on her stomach. Her fingers brushed through the unruly brown curls over and over again, not fast enough to wake Mitchie up, but fast enough to keep Alex awake. She sighed, the weight of Mitchie's head on her stomach setting butterflies loose through her body and making her smile. A yawn begged to released, but she held back and turned her attention to the screen in the corner of the small room. It was already two in the morning, but she wasn't ready to sleep yet. She may not get a chance like this again for a while. It was rare when she was allowed to sleep over at Mitchie's, since both of their families knew they were together.
The title menu of National Treasure was playing in a continuous loop, making Alex frown and reach reluctantly for the remote. She really wasn't a fan of the movie, it took more effort to pay attention to it than she cared to put forth. History and riddles were not Alex Russo's forte, but it was one of Mitchie's favorite movies.
A smile tugged at Alex's lips when Mitchie's grip on her tightened. She moved her hand from Mitchie's hair to her back, gently drawing little shapes and writing sweet words on the material of her tank top. Mitchie hummed quietly and Alex grinned. She was just too cute. Her grin slowly faded into a faint smile and her hand settled on Mitchie's side as she finally let herself fall asleep.
