Okay, folks, let's talk about something juicy. Something that makes the heart flutter (or maybe just roll your eyes). I'm talking about All American, and more specifically, Billy Baker and Laura Fine-Baker.
Ready for my completely-possibly-unpopular opinion? They need to get back together. Seriously. Hear me out!
The Chemistry Was Undeniable
Remember the early seasons? Billy and Laura were the it couple. They were goals! They had that spark, that connection that made you believe in true love.
Even when things got tough, you could see the underlying affection. That doesn't just vanish, people.
Think About It...
Sure, they had their problems. Infidelity? Messy. But haven't we all made mistakes? Haven't we all said things we regret? I'm not condoning cheating, but I am saying people can change.

Especially when real feelings are involved. And I maintain that Billy and Laura's feelings were very, very real.
I know, I know, some of you are screaming at your screens. "But she moved on! She deserves better!" Maybe. But maybe "better" is right back where she started.
Consider The Alternatives
Let's be honest, none of Laura's subsequent relationships have had the same oomph. They were...fine. Adequate. But were they Billy and Laura-level exciting? Nope.

Sometimes, you have to admit defeat. Maybe other people just can't measure up to the original.
Let's Talk About the Drama (Or Lack Thereof)
A happily ever after might seem boring. But wouldn't it be nice to see Billy and Laura work through their issues maturely? No unnecessary drama, just honest communication.
I'm tired of the constant relationship rollercoaster. Give us something stable! Give us something we can root for without holding our breath every episode.

I Know, I Know...
This might be wishful thinking. The writers might have other plans. But a girl can dream, right?
And let's face it, even if it's a long shot, wouldn't it be amazing? A full-circle moment for two characters we've invested in for so long.
Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic. Or maybe I'm just tired of seeing good things fall apart. Whatever the reason, I'm firmly in the Billy and Laura reunion camp.
