A/N: Here's a short little epilogue to tie of loose ends and answer THE QUESTION ;)
"Oh come on! Just tell us!" Tommy begged pitifully as the newly wedded couple taunted him.
"I don't see how it's your business," Kouji said flippantly, in too good of a mood on this day to be as irritated with their friends as he normally would be.
One glance to his left made any anger melt away at the sight of his beautiful bride who was still stressed in her long flowing white gown, veil flipped back over her blond hair, a dazzling smile on her face. He wasn't accustomed to the warm mushy feelings within him, but he also didn't get married every day either.
"But we had a bet, for all I know that money should be mine!" Tommy countered and Zoe just laughed along with the others.
"Tommy that bet was years ago," JP replied.
"You just don't want it brought up because you already lost years ago," Takuya threw in and JP shot him an immature look.
"You lost to!" More laughter followed their childish argument; it had been a long time since they were all together like this.
"Well we know the winner has to be Tommy or Kouichi," Colette said thoughtfully, looking almost as stunning as the bride in her bridesmaid dress.
"Either way Kouichi wins though because he said graduation or later," Thea added, also garbed in a matching bridesmaid dress. The 'reception' had lasted only a couple hours, Kouji didn't want to draw it out forever and they had the limo drop them off at a nearby restaurant rather than going straight to the honeymoon suit so that they could celebrate with a select group of friends.
"It really wasn't fair that he got to place such an obscure bet," Tommy pouted slightly and Kouichi just chuckled good naturedly.
"Well we were young and foolish back then..."
"Hey, I'm the same age you were then!" Maybe it was the after effect of the wedding but the laughter just didn't seem to stop coming from the table full of beaming faces. Zoe watched as Kouichi moved to fight back against Tommy's mock punch and Thea pulled him away again.
They had stayed together unsurprisingly, being the more mature members of their group of oddities.
Marilyn broke up with JP eventually to everyone's surprise, leaving him hurt but eventually he bounced back.
Takuya and Colette argued over Universities until nobody wanted to hear the word again and eventually she decided he didn't want to be with her enough to go to the one she wanted and he decided she was too stubborn and selfish to put up with so they went their separate ways. Of course that didn't last long; they ended up keeping regular contact and were still friends to this day though there was always the occasional moment between them.
It was a surprise in itself that after four years they still hadn't gotten back together but only time would tell.
Kouji and Zoe went through their own ups and downs, minor fights, major fights, cold silences, but four years of that taught them that they could last through anything and now after finally graduating they met at the altar today to seal the deal he opened on their one year anniversary of dating.
By the way, Tommy lost the bet.
A/N: So I didn't make it totally cheesy, there's no way Kouji and Zoe could wait for four years to have sex, they're just not that sort of couple in my opinion. Plus I think Takuya and Colette need to grow up a lot before either of them could handle a serious steady relationship. I guess I'm just not a fan a of cheesy totally perfect happy endings even though my writing is ridiculously fluffy and cheesy to begin with...So I hope you liked the story and I thank you all for your kind words and inspiring reviews! The inspiration for this story comes from "I'm Yours" of course but also a song I heard done by Glee but is a Madonna original called "Express Yourself".
