I nearly got struck by the feels train while writing this.

After defeating the Admins challenges, Radar, Petra, and Jesse continue to find any way to figure out how to defeat the Admin. Behind the challenge arena, was a small house that sort of resembles Jesse's treehouse. Inside Jesse and Petra find another one of Fred's journals.

"I still have hope for Romeo. He just wanted us to stay together, more than anything. I know that's he's doing this. Maybe I'm being foolish, but I need to know for sure before taking this step. But I guess if you're here, I've already got my answer. Maybe someday we'll be together again. Your friend always, Fred"

"I kind of feel bad for them. Don't you?" Petra asked.

"Yeah. I feel kind of bad for them too. This wasn't easy. For any of the Admins." Jesse responded.

"They really cared about each other" She thought aloud. "Everyone talks about Romeo like he was this controlling monster but... Fred wrote that Romeo just wanted to keep them together. More than anything. Isn't that what I've been doing? Especially to you? I don't want you too feel forced to keep doing stuff you don't want to. I don't want to be that person. Or make you feel scared to tell me the truth." She continued.

"You're nothing like the Admin, don't compare yourself to him." Jesse tried to reassure her.

"Even he didn't start off that way. It just got...bad. I don't want to cross that line too" She walked over to the window. She crossed her arms and laid her head between them, looking out the window.

"I've been thinking a lot about what you said about how 'friendship' is my thing. But I don't think I can stay put. Y'know... in Beacontown" She turned around to face Jesse.

"But I don't want to... lose you. You mean a lot to me Jesse. I... more than anyone else in the world, you've been there. I don't want to leave if it means..." she struggled to say, sucking back tears.

I'll be right there with you Petra, if you think your place is out there then so is mine" Jesse responded, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

She sniffled back a few tears and responded. "Thank you" she said before swiftly pulling him into a hug. After taking a short while to process, he returned the hug. He could feel her softly crying into his shoulder. He gently stroked the back of her head in response. The two stayed like this for a couple minutes.

"I always knew you were a big ol' softie" he teased.

"You'll never be able to prove it" Petra retaliated, finally breaking the hug.

"We'll see" he chuckled in response.

The two shared a laugh then smiled at each other. Jesse place his hand on her cheek and wiped a remaining tear out of her eye. "Petra, you know that I would never think of you like that. Don't compare yourself to him like that. You'll always be the same Petra that I, that we all know and love. Nothing will ever change that." He smiled.

"Thanks Jesse... That means a lot" she smiled back, her cheeks, slightly turning pink

"Aww" The two heard a faint voice from outside of the cabin. They both turn their heads towards the window. Outside of it the saw Radar smiling with his face pressed up against the window.

The two look at each other in full embarrassment.

You have no idea the trouble I went through trying to finish this thing. I love this one, and I'm proud of it. Comment any scenes you'd like to see me reimagine.
