here to listen to the song that's playing.
Brady and Billie had just kissed. When the kiss was over, they looked into each other's eyes. For a moment, neither one knew what to say.
BRADY: Whoa...that was...
BILLIE: Ssh.
She put a finger on Brady's mouth.
BILLIE: Don't say anything. Just dance with me.
So, they did. As the song says, they got lost on the dance floor. With about a minute of the song left, they were both staring into each other's eyes.
BILLIE: Okay. Go ahead.
BRADY: Well, I liked it. Did you?
BILLIE: Yeah, I liked it.
BRADY: So...
BILLIE: So...
BRADY: This is crazy.
BILLIE: Totally.
BRADY: I mean, we've been spending all this time together the last few weeks. Having lunch together. Dancing together.
BILLIE: Yep.
BRADY: So...I just want to say, I like you...a lot.
BILLIE: I like you a lot, too.
BRADY: And I was kinda wondering if...you'd like to give this a try?
BILLIE: Yeah. I think I'd like that. Just one thing.
BRADY: What?
BILLIE: Kiss me again.
And he did. A kiss that made sparks fly. The song changed (

CHELSEA (whispering): Yes!
MAX: It actually happened.
CHELSEA: See? I told you they'd be cute together!
MAX: When you're right, you're right.
Max and Chelsea kissed. Elsewhere on the beach, Ceri and Sydney were dancing.
SYDNEY: This night is awesome! I'm having one of the best nights of my life.
CERI: Same here. I love you so much. Thanks for being the most amazing girl in the world.
SYDNEY: Well, thank you for being the most amazing girl in the universe.
Sydney and Ceri kissed.
CERI: I'm glad we told everybody.
SYDNEY: Me too.
Will walked over.
WILL: Mind if I cut in?
CERI: Sure.
Ceri stepped off to the side as Will danced with his youngest sister.
WILL: Congratulations on your engagement. I'm really happy for you.
SYDNEY: Thanks.
WILL: So, are you having fun?
SYDNEY: Definitely. This is the most fun I've had in a long time. You and Sonny put on a great party, Will.
WILL: Well, thanks. Like you said, we could all use a party.
SYDNEY: Well, this has been the best one I've ever been to.
Tune in tomorrow for the finale.
