Josh and CJ had not seen each other all day.

Due to changes in the set list and the way their show would go, Josh had to leave early, before CJ woke up. However, it was their six month anniversary, and all they wanted to do was be in each other's arms.

CJ told Josh that she would not be attending their show. She said that she was waiting at home with a surprise for him, but she lied. She was going to surprise Josh at the show, no matter how nervous it made her.

No matter how much she did not want to, she asked Jenna for a ride.

"Six months, huh?" Jenna asked during their car ride.

"Yeah." CJ nodded after her one word reply.

"It's so crazy," Jenna smiled. "Six months ago you were sad and anxious and could hardly step foot out of your room, but now you're just blossoming and it's so great to see."

CJ was silent as she played with her hands.

"And getting to see part of your relationship with him form-" Jenna shook her head in disbelief. "It's amazing to see how much both you and Josh have grown. Not just as a couple, but as people."

"Can we stop talking about my relationship?"

Jenna did not mention anything after that.

As soon as CJ spotted Josh, she ran up behind him and covered his eyes. "Guess who."

"Dana Scully." Josh joked.

CJ dropped her hands and feigned offense as Josh turned around.

"You made it!" Josh pulled her into a tight hug, picking her up off the ground.

"Yeah," CJ held onto his biceps as he put her back down. "I couldn't miss it. How could I not be with you today?"

"Happy six months, baby." Josh told her as he rested his forehead against hers, a lovestruck grin tugging at his lips.

"Happy six months." CJ repeated before the pair was engulfed in a sweet kiss.

"It's been such a long day." Josh told her. "I missed you so much."

"I know," CJ agreed. "How are we even gonna survive when you're a huge pop star with millions of crazy fan girls and you're touring every day of the year without me?"

"You can come with me." Josh told her.

CJ smiled before giving him another peck on the lips.

"The lights tonight are gonna be crazy," Josh told her. "Are you sure you're gonna be able to handle them?"

"Me, scared of lights?" CJ looked at him incredulously. "I'm gonna love them."

"You got your glow sticks?" Josh asked over the crowd he could hear chanting for him and Tyler to come out.

"Always." CJ showed him the purple glow sticks wrapped around her wrists.

"And if you need anything, I'm gonna be right there, okay?" Josh told her. "If anything happens like last time, tell them they can catch these hands."

"Okay." CJ giggled, giving him on last kiss before he left to perform.



"How did I do?" A sweaty Josh approached CJ, trying to give her a hug.

"I'll let you know when you're dry." CJ handed him a cold water bottle and a towel.

"Seriously though," Josh started to wipe his face and chest to get rid of the sweat. "How did we do?"
