This one is neomoon585's very late story request. Here you go, Amigo! Sorry it took so long!

Kari, Eva, Thowra, and Kopa all belong to neomoon585. I only own Rachel, Sasha, and the Jocklin Mansion and the Grant Mansion. Ben 10 belongs to Cartoon Network and Man Of Action.


From Friends To Love

Kari and Eva were humming as they put some stuff away in their new room. After having arrived in Staybrook, California, they had been invited to stay at the Jocklin Mansion with all their new friends. "Mom and Dad would have loved to see this," said Eva.

"True," said Kari. "But I think they can already see it from Heaven."

Eva agreed with her sister as they unpacked some more stuff. Suddenly, Eva stood up and gasped as her eyes were suddenly covered by two gentle hands. "Hello, my lovely Eva," said a familiar deep voice.

Eva giggled. "Hello, Thowra, you silly Vladat," she said, suddenly laughing as he playfully tickled her.

"Silly, hmm?" he teased as he playfully blew raspberries into her neck, making her squeal with giggles. Kari watched them with a smile and suddenly felt two arms come around her and a face nuzzle her shoulder.

"Hello, my sweet Kari," came Kopa's voice.

Smiling, Kari turned to him and snuggled into his embrace, feeling his strong arms around her as he then kissed her deeply. Thowra was doing the same to Eva, kissing her deeply and making her sag in his arms.

After a moment, they broke off. "I see you and Kari are still decorating," said Thowra.

"We're almost done," said Kari. "It's so hard to believe that we've gone from being orphans living with two terrible aunts to a family who really cares about us and treats us like we've been here forever."

"Yes, the Jocklins are very kind in that way," said Kopa. "And so is Rachel. She and Rook managed this mansion and the Grant Mansion while her uncles are away on business."

"And take in those who need help," said Eva. "Just like us."

The others nodded and saw the sun was about to set. "Kari, will you join me for a stroll?" asked Kopa.

"Sure," she said, taking his hand as they headed outside.

Thowra smiled at Eva. "There's something I want to show you," he said and gathered her in his arms before flying off. She hung on, but knew that he'd never drop her. They soon landed outside a huge cave. "This is the cave where Rachel met Diamondhead, one of her good friends," he said.

In the moonlight, the crystals shone with what looked like a magical glow. "Wow," said Eva. "I've never seen anything like them."

Thowra watched as Eva walked around the crystals, their light dancing softly around her, making her seem more beautiful than ever. He smiled, feeling his heart start to pick up speed when she looked over at him. "This is beautiful," she said.

"As are you, my love," he said as he stepped forward and kissed her deeply. She returned the kiss and felt him then begin kissing her neck gently. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. No other woman has captured my heart like you have."

She giggled. "And no man ever captured my heart, except you," she said with a smile.

He returned her smile and then kneeled down on one knee, taking her hand and placing a small box in her hand. "Open it," he said encouragingly. She did and gasped at the beautiful ring inside and looked at Thowra, who smiled at her.

"Eva, my dearest, will you do me the honor of calling you my wife forever?" he asked.

She looked at him and smiled. "YES!" she cried out happily, tackling him to the ground. He caught her, chuckling as she kissed him on the mouth happily and he kissed her back, happy that she would be his forever.


Kari and Kopa were enjoying the evening air and the moon that shone brightly. "I always like it when the moon shines bright," said Kari. "It makes everything look so beautiful."

"Hmm, it does seem to do that," said Kopa, gazing at the trees and the meadow which were sparkling under the moonlight. He then lightly tugged Kari's hand and guided her under one of the trees that had dew on it and the dew was sparkling under the moonlight, making Kari gasp at how beautiful it was. She then turned to Kopa and saw he was down on one knee and holding a box in his hand, which he opened to reveal a ring with a stone that was the color of the amber ogia from his home world. She looked at him, her mouth opened in amazement.

"My sweet Kari, I love you very much and am always thinking about you and I always look forward to seeing you every day when I come home from work and in the morning when you first wake up," he said honestly. "Because you are the loveliest girl I have ever laid eyes on."

She blushed and giggled. "You're too sweet, Kopa," she said with a smile.

He also smiled. "Kari, will you marry me?" he asked hopefully.

Her smile glowed just like the dew on the tree. "Yes," she said happily as she tackled him to the ground and they lay there, kissing each other and only thinking about each other before they broke away for air and Kopa gently flipped their positions so Kari was gently pinned beneath him.

"I love you, Kari," he said as he kissed her passionately again.

"I love you too, Kopa," she said as she kissed him again.

The two couples were oblivious to the person watching them from the Mansion. Rachel smiled as she saw how much in love the two couples were. It reminded her of how much she and Rook were in love and how much Whampire and Sasha were in love. To think they had all gone from being friends to something much more.

Something that would last forever and ever.
