So a part of me is getting impatient for Skip Beat! ending, though I do not want it to end anytime soon. Anyway, this is just my vision of how the story ending may go. Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Chapter 1: Reunion

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Los Angeles. As usual, Kuu Hizuri was cooking up breakfast while his wife Juli was sitting in the living room reading a book. The doorbell rang.

"Hmm, Kuu, were we expecting someone?" Juli asked.

"Not that I'm aware of. Let me go see who it is." Kuu removed his oven mitts and headed to the door. After unlocking the two locks, he opened it to a sight he hadn't seen in eight years.

A tall man with golden hair and green eyes was in front of him. Upon seeing Kuu, he smiled a genuine smile that Kuu remembered from many years ago. He stood there, shell shocked.

"Dad?" The blonde man asked, a laughing smile began to form on his lips.

"Kuon?" Kuu eyes bugged out. "It's you, right? I mean Kuon, my son?"

Kuon smiled. "I wanted to visit you, Dad."

Kuu felt tears of joy forming at the corners of his eyes. His beautiful, amazing, talented, handsome, smart ... (well, let's not repeat everything in Kuu's head) was finally back. And he was calling him "Dad".

"Kuu?" Julie's voice became louder as she walked to their front hallway. "Who's at the...?" Her question was cut off as she gasped.

"Kuon?" Juli immediately began to cry tears of joy. "Is it you?"

Kuon smiled gently at his beautiful mother. "Hello, mom."

Juli rushed up and embraced her son. She couldn't help but sob into his shoulder. "You finally came home." She managed to get out.

Kuon rubbed his mother back while they hugged. "I promised I would when I was ready."

Kuu couldn't help but grin at the sight of his wife and son back together. He had at least seen Kuon three years ago back when he was in Japan, even though his son was masked by his Ren Tsuruga persona. He then noticed the presence of another figure, standing on the walkway leading to the front of their house. Dressed in a simple but classic frock and kitten heels, her should length chestnut hair could be seen under the wide brimmed hat she was wearing.

"Kuon?" Kuu gasped at the sight of his other "son".

"Father!" Kyouko Mogami ran up and embraced Kuu.

"I'm so sorry for not noticing you standing there before." Kuu apologized as he released her from their embrace.

"No, not at all!" Kyouko shook her head insistently. "I didn't want to interrupt Kuon's reunion with his parents."

Something clicked at that moment in Kuu's brain. "Wait, Kuon, you know about...?"

Kuon gently let go of his mother and moved to stand by Kyouko's side. Kuu then noticed something glittering on Kyouko's left hand. His head snapped up as he switched his focus to his son.

"Dad, Mom, I had another reason I wanted to see you guys. I wanted to properly introduce you to my financée, Kyouko." Kuon was smiling broadly, his eyes full of love.

Juli let out of scream that the whole neighborhood could hear. She began to dance giddily.

Kuu's jaw dropped. After a moment, he recovered and gave Kuon a death stare. "And who gave permission that you could marry my adorable son?" He moved and wrapped his arms around Kyouko protectively.

"Eh?" Kyouko squeaked.

A small vein popped out of Kuon's forehead. "You realize I'm your son?"

"Oh, c'mon you two, let's go inside and continue talking there. I want to hear all the gorgeous details of how this came to be. Plus there will be wedding plans to take care of," Juli urged everyone inside.

They settled down at the kitchen table. Kyouko couldn't help but gawk at the size of the Hizuri household. No wonder Ren Tsuruga had such a ridiculously oversized apartment, Kyouko thought dryly.

"So," Juli interrupted Kyouko's thoughts. "Tell me everything!"

Kyouko turned to look at Kuon. He was smiling at her tenderly, and she couldn't help but blush. He reached for her hand and squeezed it lovingly.

"Well, in truth, we knew each other from a long time ago," Kuon began.

"Wait, you met each other when you first went to Japan?" Kuu asked, his eyebrow furrowed.

"No, before that." Kuon smiled at Kuu's confusion. "Kyouko is originally from Kyoto. Do you remember when I went with you to Japan back when I was 10 when you had a movie to promote?"

Kuu and Juli nodded.

"We met back then," Kyouko continued. "Though I mistakenly thought he was a fairy with his blonde hair. And I called him 'Corn'."

"Ah!" Kuu realized. "So you did actually meet Kuon when I asked you to act out my son. And that explains why you acted like a ten year old version of him."

Kyouko blushed. "I didn't cheat, though! I didn't know back then they were the same person."

"Plus she has acted out some of my personality quirks I never showed her," Kuon added.

Juli sighed. "So it really was fate."

Kuu smiled at the two. "But what changed? You two were no where close to dating the last time I was in Japan. And Kuon (Kyouko), I didn't even know you had feelings for Kuon. Actually.." A dark look took over his face. "I'm shocked the boss didn't call me to celebrate this occasion."

Everyone chuckled. Kyouko and Kuon exchanged a meaningful glance.

"Well, it started to all come in place when..." Kuon began.
