Seven years after the final surf off - contestants are now 24

FLY P.O.V.

You know, if Heath hadn't visited me on the Pro Circuit, I wouldn't have any of this. If he hadn't casually asked me to marry him over dinner one night, we couldn't have put our money together and bought this amazing house, I wouldn't be engaged to the funniest guy on the planet, and I wouldn't have any connection with Solar Blue.

Heath and I were a one-off. Edge and Bec just drifted apart, Anna and Joe hadn't been bothered to stay in touch. But the one thing that surprised me the most was Perri and Matt. If Perri was Taylor Swift, there wouldn't be anything in the gossip magazines for months. If was one of the most slow and painful break ups I had ever seen. Constant yelling, constant arguing, for so long until they both realised that there no point anymore. Understatement of the year. Even though Perri and Matt belonged together, it was a relief to hear the end if the arguing.

There could be some fixing-up, but with Matt and Perri, I couldn't see anything there.
Bec and Edge just needed to realise you can't just give up so easily, and Anna and Joe needed to figure out something that could make up the distance between them. Fly new just the way to get everyone connected again. Well five out of seven. Reunion.

Two weeks later at the Solar Blue house

Even though Solar Blue had closed down they still owned the house, and what better place to hold a reunion. First to arrive after Fly and Heath was Bec and Joe, who still lived in the area.

"Hey Fly! How are you?" said Bec, who was very excited about the reunion.

"Not to bad thank you! Good to see you too!"

"Hey mate. How's things?" asked Joe in Heath's direction.

"Yeah good. More than good in fact" replied Heath as he out his hand around Fly's waist, who rested her head on his shoulder.

"I heard! Congratulations guys!" said Bec

"Oh thank you! And guess what? I just got a text from Edge. It says he's at the bus stop. You should go and pick him up." said Fly, grinning to herself.

"Oh ok fine. I guess we'll have to meet up sometime soon" said Bec, secretly very happy she would see him again.

When Bec and Edge returned to the house an hour later, hand in hand, it was obvious something had happened.
But what they refused to tell anyone was that Bec had ran into Edge's arms, crying, and Edge had almost started crying too. They had missed each other so much, and they realised they hadn't officially broken up, so Edge had offered to but Bec a milkshake. They had made up, and now they both felt content.

"Hey Edge!" exclaimed Fly, running to give him a hug

Heath and Joe shook his hand, and Perri, who had just arrived, gave him and Bec a hug as well.

"So now only Anna and Matt are missing" said Heath

"Matt. Can't wait to see him again" said Perri

"Oh come on Perri. Just get over it. You guys broke up. Don't let the rest of us suffer" groaned Heath.

"Sorry" mumbled Perri

Just then there was a knock on the door. Fly opened it to find Matt standing there with all his bags.

"Hey! How are you Matty?"

"Yeah good thanks Fly" answered Matt

"Hey Matt!" came from everyone else inside, except Perri, and they rushed to the door to help him with his bags.

By the end if the day, Anna had arrived and everyone was eating dinner, catching up on news. Even Perri and Matt were trying to be pleasant, because they knew how much trouble Fly and Heath had gone to to organise this. Even though they both thought it was impossible that they could get back together, there was an event that happened three days later that might change that, or at least bring them closer.

Please tell me what you thought
