Disclaimer: not mine, but they have been treated very well this week, so I am OK with that... for now
A/N: Last chance to turn back if you are a spoiler free individual. This story will contain some stuff I've seen about upcoming eps. If you are spoiler free, I would guess that you could start reading next week. Enjoy!

The knock on the door woke them both. "Excuse, Mr. and Mrs. Slater, I just wanted to let you know that we are about an hour from docking at the marina." She smiled as she felt Zach tighten his arms around her waist.

"Did you hear that?" she whispered into this neck, kissing him lightly.

"Yes. The very rude steward just woke us up to tell us that we are about an hour from the real world."

"Well, yeah, that too, but I was concentrating more on the 'Mrs. Slater' part of his sentence."

Zach opened his eyes slightly and smiled, capturing her lips with his. Kendall got lost in his kiss, like she did every time. She had spent so much time being angry, so much time brooding and being sad. She could kick herself for wasting so much time, for not just admitting that she wanted to be happy. She should have had it out with him that night at the ball and left for Paris. 'So much time wasted…' she thought to herself. She sighed as he broke the kiss.

"What?"

She looked at him. "It's just… I wasted so much time being angry when we could have been… well, like this all along. I'm just…"

He placed his index finger on her lips. "Shh. No more regrets. The past is the past and we can't do anything about that. We made things right last night, so no more looking back, no more being sad about the way things played out. I put that ring back on your finger and that's where it's staying. Got it?" Kendall ran her fingers through his hair.

"Now, my lovely wife… breathe." Just the low rumble of his voice made her shudder. She cocked her eyebrow at him and smirked. "Why, Mr. Slater, you are saying that like you want to have your way with me again."

She sighed as he kissed his way along her neck. "Well, if you insist…"

"I do, but seeing as how we are on a schedule and still need to pack, we need to kill two birds with one stone." He rolled over and pushed himself out of bed. "Care to join me in the shower?" Kendall shot up after him, laughing loudly.

They sat on the deck, eating breakfast as the boat turned into the marina. She looked over at him and smiled.

"Last chance to ditch real life and head to some unknown exotic destination!"

"Oh stop it" she said, taking a last sip of her tea. "Besides, we need to face the music at some point."

"Well, I wouldn't exactly characterize Erica's screeching as music, but to each to their own."

She just shook her head at him as the steward came by to collect their plates. Zach and Kendall watched the scenery as they docked. When the boat finally came to a stop, Zach got up and held out his hand to her.

"Ready to head home Mrs. Slater?"

Kendall took his hand and stood up. "You bet, Mr. Slater." He smiled and kissed her lightly before escorting her off the boat.

Zach tipped the steward and they started walking toward the waiting limo when they heard Zach's name from behind them.

"Zach, Zach, please wait!"

They both turned and Kendall froze, watching the woman jog over to them.

"Oh my god…"

Zach turned toward Kendall and grabbed her shoulder. "Kendall, I can explain." The woman caught up to them. "Zach, thank God you're back. I need your help." It was only then that she looked at Kendall.

"Hi Kendall."

Kendall just stared, wide eyed, unable to process. "What the… Dixie?"
