Bella woke up that morning hyper. She looked into her mirror, twiddling her hair just perfect. Today was her graduation. And she was already an engaged woman, waiting to marry Summer, as the ring upon her finger told her. She heard her bedroom door knocked upon, and she called over to it, "Come in!" Katie entered the room, and smiled. "Bella, you look so cute! Is there some reason for it, or is it just Summer?" she asked. Bella looked at her uneasily, and showed Katie her left hand. Katie stared at it in shock for a full five seconds, before hugging Bella tightly.

Summer woke up that morning to stare out of his window dreamily. He sighed, and looked down at his own ring. Well, Bella… it looks like our time is upon us, he thought, staring into the diamond. His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle shove from behind him. "Morning, brother! Still thinking about your fiancé?" Mist teased, smirking somewhat uneasily. "Yeah, Mist. But… in the moment, am I really ready for this big ceremony in which me and Bella become soul mates in the eyes of the law?" he ranted somewhat cryptically. Mist took a second to think it over, before saying, "It's probably just pre-wedding nerves. At least you're getting one…" Summer looked into her eyes, and saw nothing but sadness. He sighed, and thought about what he could do to help. Isabella interrupted his musings before he reached a conclusion.

"Well, Summer, Mist… your graduation!" Isabella said, practically giggling. Phineas came over, and gave Mist a hug, and Summer a firm handshake. "Remember to be nice to Bella… she'll be part of this family, so try to make her feel like it," Phineas reminded them. "Dad, it'll be fine. It's all going to be here, after all…" Summer assured him. Phineas looked at him, and nodded. "Well, off you go, then," he said, and they left.

Summer bumped into Bella on the way to the auditorium. Literally. Bella picked herself up from the floor, blushing furiously. Summer gave her a hug, presumably as an apology, and she blushed even further. Mist looked at them jealously, and followed them to the auditorium.

The graduation itself went off without a hitch… luckily. Considering the giant hitch in their parents (consisting of a renegade brother, an evil clone and several journeys into their souls), that might have been a good thing. Mist would have loved some excitement, though… Most of the people graduating followed her as she left, as she was heading home. Summer and Bella were going elsewhere quickly.

Phineas looked at the size of the graduation party. He gulped, and asked Isabella to handle it. "OK, guys, would you mind sticking to the guest's room? We'd just want to keep track of everyone…" she told them. Everyone shrugged, and headed there. Isabella checked off everyone as she saw them, just to make sure no one was lost. …Nope, nobody was missing but Summer and Bella.

They had gone to an old-fashioned coffee shop. "Well, Isabella… what do you plan on doing for the wedding?" Summer asked. Bella shrugged, tracing the rim of her cup. Summer took out a sheet of paper, and started drawing, and redrawing, something. Bella looked at it, and asked, "You taking notes on official roles?" Summer nodded, and Bella reminded him, "Mist's my bridesmaid." Summer nodded, and said, "Haley's my best man. Let's hope they finally get together sometime. Mist's been moping ever since I proposed to you…"

Haley escaped from the party for a second. He breathed, and went upstairs. "Hey, Mr Flynn…" he muttered, knocking on the door. Phineas smiled, and gestured to the seat next to him. "Listen, Mr Flynn-" he started, but Phineas stopped him. "You want to propose to Mist, don't you?" he asked. Haley nodded, and showed him the ring. Phineas smirked. "Sure thing, Haley. She's been waiting an awful long time…" Haley smiled, and went back downstairs. "Thanks, Mr Flynn!" he called back. Phineas leaned back, and smiled. "Mist… your special one," he said. Isabella heard him, and giggled.

Haley reentered the party, and found Mist. "OK, Haley, what is it?" she asked, somewhat rudely. Haley smirked, and knelt at Mist's feet. "Mist, will you marry me?" he asked, holding out the ring. The pent-up rage Mist had felt for no apparent reason melted away. "Yes, Haley!" she shrieked, and hugged him.

Just a quick piece of filler. This realistically only exists to channel out my own tears that Mist shed at the end of the last story.

Anyone else find it odd that the last story contained no canon characters, or is it just me? Does it count as a fanfiction if it's missing canon characters, or are Summer, Mist, Haley, Bella, India and Perry Jr canon enough to count? Arbitrary question, but still...

Next time, I will make sure to put that idea I've been kicking around to paper. It might be a one shot, or it might have multiple chapters, depending on how much content I can fit in.

Summer belongs to you, so carpe diem!
