Ultimatum
By. A Moment In Subtext

Author's Note: This is the way I think "An Affair To Forget" should have ended. And because, when Topanga said ". . .In the end, true friendship is more important than the lure of a cheap kiss. . ." I SWEAR she was going to say "true love."

"I'm giving you an ultimatum." Jennifer said. "It's him, or its," She leaned over and kissed kissed him, and it was sweet at first, but it left him nearly senseless, "Me." She finished.
He licked his lips slightly, and dizzily turned around. "Alright, what have you got?" He asked, not actually certain what he was asking. Behind him, Jennifer smiled smuggly, sure of her victory, and then Cory smirked. Shawn got a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, because Cory never used that look before he did something smart.
But then Cory was kissing him, and it was like having his soul sucked out through his mouth, and he wasn't minding in the least. Then he remembered that it was Cory, his best friend Cory who was going to grow up and marry Topanga; his best friend Cory who had only kissed three or four girls and was most innocent guy on the planet; his best friend Cory who had his tongue part of the way down his throat before the need to breath forced them to seperate. Shawn stumbled back against to pool table with a small whimper in the base of his throat. "Oh god." He breathed. "Where did you learn to do that?"
"Watching you." Cory said, as if it were obvious, and maybe it was, but Shawn didn't have enough braincells left unmelted to figure it out.
Shawn looked back at Jennifer and shrugged helplessly, shaking his head. She shook her head and started to storm off.
"Hey," Topanga said. "I lost my guy too."
Jennifer looked down at her. "Yes, I suppose you did. What do you want me to do about it?" She put her hands on her hips.
Topanga grinned.
