Disclaimer: I don't own NDSSG (it's just to long of a name to type out). It belongs to Scott Fellows. And the more I watch this show the more I find myself thinking, Ya know, Ned's kinda, sorta, maybe...cute... Also, in this chapter (and all the time) the song Picture Perfect belongs to Angela Via...it just fits Ned and Moze so well.

Title: Picture Perfect

Author: Silverflare07

Summary: So now Ned's over Suzie...and he and Moze have just been voted Best Friends by their fellow eight graders... maybe they'll both finally realize that, together, they're picture perfect... .Ned/Moze.

Dedication: Okay! This one goes out to Chibi aka Warlordess. Because it's her fault that I got hooked on NDSSG in the first place. She knows I have a 'best friends should get together complex' god only knows how she couldn't, and she still had to mention that there was an episode where Ned and Moze are rumored to be going out. So, of course, I had to watch it, and, of course, I had to fall in love with both the couple and the show... And so of course you all get this, the fruits of my obsession... Enjoy Chibi! You deserve it for listening to me ramble on about the show!

Author's Note: Okay, I haven't a whole lot of the show so if everyone is horrible OOC please forgive me I'm trying my best. I also have no idea when or how Ned starting liking Suzie so I just made it up. I hope it's not too off the mark, although it probably is. Oh...and the walk I have Ned and Moze do to gym it's that one they always do in the opening credits with they're arms around each other's shoulders and walk by like putting one person's foot in front of the other's. You know what I'm talking about? It's in the opening credits on the notebook page that says "In Guide We Trust".

Extra Info: Okay, this is my first NDSSG fic so I hope you guys don't think the idea is too stupid. This will only be a few chapters long (which is weird because I usually just do oneshots). It started out as a twoshot, but then I realized there was no way so... now it's more like three, maybe four. Emergency Escape Maneuver 4 is not something I made up. It's the escape maneuver Gordy, Ned, Moze, and Cookie have worked out were the teen in trouble hides in the garbage can (I'm going to assume it's empty) and Gordy wheels them to safety. It was used in Guide To: Clothes to help Ned hide his blouse.

Stuff You Need To Know:

"Speech"

Thought

The gym was completely silent now that the music had faded away. The video yearbook disappeared from the wall as Martin shut off the projector. The entire student body of James K. Polk Middle was staring at him, and he hated it. Ned had never minded being the center of attention, but he was well aware of why everyone was staring at him that way.

From somewhere in the crowd, Ned heard the Huge Crew crack their knuckles.

"Uh...gotta go!" Ned jumped up, pulling Moze up by the arm along with him, and raced down the bleachers and into the hallway.

The entire student body watched them leave. Five seconds after the door had slammed shut behind them the entire gymnasium became full of voices, someone in the back even wolf whistled. Cookie shook his head, if the rumors weren't going to fly around about them before they certainly would after Ned freaked like that. He slipped his glasses camera over his eye and booted up the tracking program he'd placed in his friends' backpacks...just in case he ever needed to find them. The red dot that indicated Ned and the blue dot that indicated Moze were racing down the hallway and...going into the Gordy's closet?

Cookie shook his head and clicked off the program. He would just wait to hear what was going on from them, after they got out of the janitor's closet.

"In here!" Ned cried, throwing open a door and dragging himself and Moze inside. "We'll be safe in here!" He slammed the door shut.

"Safe from what?" Moze asked.

"From the rampaging student body...and all those eyes." Ned shuddered comically at the thought.

"Ned, no one is going to run us down because Martin used that picture."

"I guess not." He sighed, "They couldn't have picked a more awkward time to show that particular picture though." It was weird, to be sitting there discussing a relationship with the girl he liked, without actually discussing it.

Moze laughed. "That's true. Oh well," She sighed and grabbed the door handle. "It's not like it's the first time we've had to break up without ever going out to begin with." She turned the handle but nothing happened. "Crud!"

"What's wrong?"

She jiggled the door handle again. "I think the doors locked."

"What!" Ned jumped up, beginning to panic. "No way!" He pushed Moze out of the way and began to jiggle the doorknob back and forth vigorously. "It. Has. To. Open!"

"Chill out Ned. I'm sure Gordy's going to be back soon. It's not like he'll be busy working for a long time."

"This." He began to pound on the door. "Has. To. Open!"

"Ned." Moze took her friend by the shoulders. "It's. Not. Going. To. Open."

"But it has to!" He cried desperately.

"Why?"

"Because! I mean look at that picture! And everyone saw it and now they're gonna see this!" He began to pace back and forth. "And then Cookie had to go and tell me that I like you and...!"

He sat down with a thump onto a box that was resting on the floor. He put his head in the hands and groaned.

"And what?" Moze prompted, kneeling down in front of him.

"And I think he was right." Ned groaned, hanging his head, his eyes closed as he tried desperately not to look at his best friend.

He was surprised to feel lips pressing gently against his. His eyes fluttered open and he saw Moze staring back at him, smiling. "What was that?" She asked.

"I know he was right." Ned smiled shyly. "So... can I kiss you again?"

Moze smiled. "I guess that would be all right. Seeing as I like you too and all."

Ned grinned and leaned down.

Gordy walked down the hallway, whistling a random tune as he pushed a large garbage can along. He wasn't actually using it to clean, he'd just let the night guy get it, but you never knew when a student might need to perform emergency escape maneuver number 4. He stopped before the door to his 'office'. He pulled out his ring of keys and stuck the correct one into the lock. He let the door swing open and his whistle trailed off mid-note.

Before him, Ned Bigby and Jennifer Mosley were kissing.

"Awkward." He said aloud.

Two fingers went up, instructing him to wait a minute. He did as instructed and a few seconds later both teens were looking at him. "Hey Gordy." They told him breathlessly.

"He-llo...Am I interrupting something?"

Ned shook his head. "Not really." He grinned. "We were just passing the time until someone came and let us out. That's all."

"Uh-huh." Gordy nodded, his eyebrows raised.

"Well then," Moze stood up and brushed herself off. "Guess we'd better get to class now." She and Ned walked off hand in hand.

"O-kay..."

It was two weeks later and it seemed that Ned and Moze's new relationship was still the talk of the school. It was probably because they were actually dating this time. It seemed the only people who didn't feel the need to gossip about it were Cookie and Gordy (who had been filled in shortly after finding the pair).

Ned walked into school that morning and smiled. Something inside of him was telling him it was going to be a good day.

"Hey Ned." Moze walked over to him and kissed him briefly.

"Hey guys!" Cookie joined the group. "How is it going?"

"Not bad. I have a huge speech in English I'm not looking forward to giving but, other than that, no complaints." Moze told them.

"Nothing's wrong with me today!" Ned announced, grabbing Moze's hand. "I have a feeling today is going to be great."

"And I bet it will." Cookie agreed. "Look what came in today." He held up their 8th grade yearbook. "And the video one comes out next week."

"Cool!" Ned nodded approvingly.

"It doesn't look as good as last years of course." Moze told them, laughing lightly.

"You're only saying that because you designed last year's yearbook." Both boys told her.

"Yeah..."

"So..." Cookie held up the yearbook, opening it to the page where his two friends were smiling happily. The words 'Best Friends' had been scratched out, courtesy of a red permanent marker. The words "Cutest Couple' had been written underneath it in Cookie's sloppy handwriting. "What do you guys think? Perfect, huh?"

Both Ned and Moze smiled and Ned squeezed Moze's hand. "Picture." They said together.

Gah! The crappiness of this chapter still makes me want to drown myself. I really just couldn't get this chapter to work for me. I dunno how I feel about this so I guess I'll leave it up to you.

I'm sorry it's so short, it all to do with how I couldn't get it to just seem right. Please forgive me!

I hope you guys enjoy the last chapter of Picture Perfect. And I hope you keep looking out for other fics of mine, I do have a few NDSSG ideas floating around... If you guys want me to I might write them up.

Well R&R and tell me what you think!

Come on! Send me the smile!
