Narrator's P.O.V

It was time for the challenge, and the last one through will be sacrificed to the witches. Joey and Mat go through stage 1 pretty fast, leaving Manny and Ro behind. After a while, Manny passes stage 1 and poor Ro is still at stage 1 when everyone else is moving along. Mat is first to make it to the finish and he feels terrible seeing Ro really behind. He sees Joey and Manny make it to the altar, which seals Ro's faith.

"Ro don't think about it, stay strong!" Mat yells

Ro is devastated but she's seen the other seasons to know that's not how it works.

"CUT!" shouts the director

Everyone then stops and as the producer tells the witch actors what to do and everyone gets a 20 minute break. Mat knows that it's a good time to tell Ro his feelings before she has to leave the set.

Matpat's P.O.V

Sadness fills my head. Ro is the last one to finish the challenges. That means it's here last night on set. This is it. I should tell her how I feel before she has to go home. I'm scared that she won't feel the same, but we have two more episodes to film before I can see her again. I'm not backing out of this.....ok Mat you got this. We all go to Ro's trailer for a break and Manny and Joey say their goodbyes to Ro.

"We're gonna miss you so much babe!" Manny exclaims

"I wish that you didn't have to leave so soon." adds Joey

"Ro, I'm going to miss you so much!" I say

"Aww Mat, but we can still text after the show is finished! I can text all of you!" says Ro

We all smile and talk about our favorite moments on the show.

"Oh! Manny! I have something to show you. Can you come with me?" asks Ro

"Sure thing!" Manny responds

While they both go into the other side of the trailer, Joey comes over to me.

"Hey Mat, are you going to tell Ro how you feel about her?"

I look over at him. "Yes, I think I will. I really like her Joey"

"Aww! I hope it goes well!"

"I hope so too!"

Narrator's P.O.V

It was almost time for filming the death scene, and Manny was getting ready to leave, but gave one more hug and goodbye to Ro. Then Joey slipped out and mouthed "good luck" to Mat. Ro was about to leave, when Mat stopped her.

"Hey Ro! Can I talk to you for a sec?"

Ro looked at him for a few seconds. "Yah, sure!"

Both were very nervous because of the tension in the air. Mat took a deep breath and so did Ro.

"Ro....you're my best friend and I'm so sad that this is your last night on set."

Ro believed it was the same thing that he was saying earlier.

"We can still text Mat, and make videos together"

"Ok I'm just going to say it" said Mat

He walked up to Ro and took her small hands in his and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Rosanna....you're the most caring, sweetest, and kindest person I've ever met. I thought that just in this little time, I couldn't help but love you even more. That's why I'm telling you right here, right now, Rosanna.....I love you."

Ro just stood there in shock and her cheeks burned up. She couldn't believe the man that she liked was telling her that he was in love with her. Mat meanwhile, thought that Ro didn't like him.

"It's ok Ro, that you don't feel the same way. I just wanted to tell you before---"

Mat was interrupted by Ro's small arms wrapping around him and tears coming from the tiny woman.

"Mat....I like you too! You have no idea how much I wanted to tell you, but I was scared that you wouldn't feel the same"

Mat was shocked and happy and hugged his sweet cinnamon roll tighter. They stood there knowing they love each other. Until, Mat pulled apart from Ro to ask another question.

"In this case, ater this show, do you want to go on a date?" Mat asked while going on one knee.

Ro smiled and replied, "Of course I will!"

"I love you Ro"

"I love you too Mat"

Ro pecked Mat's cheek and they both went to the set holding hands, but soon let go knowing they had to film Ro's death scene.
