Disclaimer:
1) Please note that this is purely fiction and none of the contents are real except for all or some of the characters used in this story.

3) This fic is created based solely on the imagination of the author and for non-profitable purpose.

Author's Notes:
- This story went through around five versions because I desperately tried to follow the plot outlines I created but it wouldn't work until I gave up and decided to let the story write on its own. The problem is, every time I let the story write on its own, it ends up longer than I planned. I just started this version 9 days ago and since I'm trying to meet the deadline, I had to go through tons of time skip. So I'm sorry if there are parts that would seem a bit rushed. If you like the story, I might write ficlets to fill in the gap.

- When I signed up for rpf_big_bang, I made a post in my personal journal asking for a movie that I may use as AU setting. gcaedmon suggested 'Notting Hill', but it had been ages since I last saw that movie and have no time to watch on DVD. So instead, I used the few scenes I remember as inspiration on some of the scenes in this story.

- I'd like to thank my friend radcliffe_bass for joining me in this crazy ride. And tons and millions of thanks to the wonderful and lovely pixie_queen24 for the excellent beta work she's done. Thanks bb!

- This may have been beta'ed but please remember, I'm not perfect so I may have missed some corrections, so please excuse if there are any and I will eventually check this thoroughly.

- The fic title was derived from the lyrics of 'Special Memory' by Iwi Laurel (a Filipino artist).

- Lastly, I love Justin Bieber. Honest. So I don't intend to make fun of him here. I just couldn’t think of anyone else, given my limited knowledge in the music world.

Thank you. I'm rather late (like 2.5 years late) to the Cookleta fandom and trying to get caught up on the good stuff. I saw this fic recommended at another site.
