"Guys, I have to tell you something." Ross announced.

"Well, what is it?" Stormie asked.

"I'm dating someone." Ross said.

"Is that all?" Mark asked.

"It's...a guy." Ross said.

Needless to say, his parents, Rocky and Ryland were shocked.

"Who?" Rocky asked.

"It's R-R-Ratliff." Ross said, crying.

"What." Ryland started.

"The." Mark continued.

"Hell?" Rocky finished.

"Yeah, you heard him right. He's dating Ratliff. A guy. So what if he's gay? We should still love him anyway." Riker defended Ross, who was in tears by that point.

"If Ratliff makes him happy, no one else should have anything to say about it." Rydel said.

"They're right. So what if Ross is gay?" Stormie defended her son.

He ran upstairs without anyone noticing.

"Where's Ross?" Rocky asked.

Riker ran up to Ross's room to find him sobbing into his pillow.

"I knew it. They rejected me. It was inevitable." Ross cried, not realizing Riker was in the room.

"No, Ross. When you left, everyone apologized." Riker lied.

"Really?" Ross looked up from his pillow.

"Yeah. Why don't you come back downstairs. They wanna see you." Riker part-lied.

Ross followed Riker downstairs.

"Ross, we're all very sorry for teasing you like that. It was just shocking. We don't find it wrong." Mark said.

"It's OK." Ross said.

"Ross, you and Ratliff turn those Rosslington fanfictions into reality." Rocky said.

"What?" Stormie asked, obviously confused.

"Last week, I found something very interesting on Twitter. R5 fanfictions. I was shocked. I mean, I know about fanfictions, but people write about us as R5, not just characters in TV shows and movies. While we were exploring the website, we found this author, XFeelXTheXLoveX. She writes about mainly Riker and Laura, and me and Ratliff. Put in fangirl language, Riaura and Rosslington." Ross explained.


So sorry about the long unannounced hiatus, but I'm a freshman in high school, and you know what that means: a lot of work. I know most of you won't believe me, but even with the enormous workload, it's really fun. To quote Blaine from Glee, my school has a "zero tolerance, no bullying policy." It's really cool. I go to an all-girls Catholic school.

Plus, midterms are at the end of January, so I have to study for those. But the epilogue will be up soon!
