Epilogue: Afterwards


*Max's POV, Cameroon Palace Ballroom, One Week Later*

I was standing next to all our friends and the Frontier Brains, waiting for the rest of the Aura Guardians to come.

This was the ball celebrating the end of the Tournament, Audrey had won, I still remember Rafe's face when she beat him earlier today; he was practically blubbering like an idiot.

Brianna was going on and on about how much Drew loved her and how much she loved him, all of us were tuning her out.

Conway was telling Brock his plan to ask Dawn out, but Brock wasn't paying attention, just nodding his head every few seconds.

Too bad Conway's going to be heartbroken.

Out of the blue Noland asked, "Max do you know who Brandon's fiancée is?"

I was about to answer him, but then I noticed Brandon and Delphina dancing out on the dance floor along with many other couples, so I told Noland, "They're out on the dance floor, find them yourself."

My statement caused everyone to start hunting down Brandon with their eyes, after a while Noland yelled, "What! Delphina is Brandon's fiancée?"

Everyone turned to look at the place that Noland was looking, only to notice that Brandon was indeed dancing with Delphina.

Noland asked nobody in particular, "How come no one ever told us?"

I was about to reply when I noticed Audrey walk in wearing a gold halter dress, that was slightly dragging on the floor, along with gold heels, and her hair was done in a bun with a golden ribbon, I turned toward Noland and said, "Sorry, I have better things to do than answer your questions."

I walked over to Audrey, grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor, causing her to give me an odd look, but then I whispered into her ear, "Only way to escape the others questions."

Audrey giggled, before dragging me back to the others and saying, "Hey, guys, Max just wanted to tell you that he would love to answer your questions."

I nearly screamed, "What," but then I noticed May walk, in and formulated another plan out of there.

May saw us and walked over, she was wearing a red dress that was cut open with a white skirt underneath, sewn all along the dress where red and white roses, on her feet were red lace up heels, and her hair was shaped to look like a rose.

Brianna was staring at May like a Magikarp out of water; May looked beautiful, while Brianna looked plain, with just a simple yellow halter dress on, one that seemed a bit too tight and short, all in all, Brianna's outfit looked slutty.

After a few seconds, Drew, wearing a black and dark green tuxedo, suddenly appeared and shut Brianna's jaw, then walked over to May and asked, "Care to Dance?"

Brianna glared at May, but May ignored her and said, "Not at all Drew."

May and Drew walked hand in hand to the Dance floor and started twirling around, after a while most of our group went onto the Dance Floor, most taking random dancing partners, but Solidad, Harley, Robert, and Brianna stayed behind.

Brianna grumbled under her breath then muttered, "You may have won this battle May, but I will win the war."

Solidad shook her head and said, "Brianna get over Drew, he loves May."

Brianna glared at Solidad before saying, "I won't give up, and I won't lose this war unless Drew proposes to May, which isn't going to happen any time soon."

Brianna you are going to end up like Conway.

After a minute or two, Brock returned to our little group and asked, "Why are all of you still here?"

I answered Brock, "Audrey and I are waiting for the others, while Solidad, Harley, and Robert are trying to convince Brianna that Drew loves May not her."

I noticed Ash, wearing a white and gold tuxedo, and Misty, wearing a blue plain floor length dress, walk up to us and said, "How are you two not dead yet?"

Ash and Misty gave me a 'Are you crazy' look, which made me laugh before I said, "You broke the rules that said that during a mission, an Aura Guardian must never get into a romantic relationship with anyone, unless it is part of the mission, and the two of you made out when you were inside the base."

Brock suddenly yelled, "What Ash and Misty finally got together?"

Ash and Misty sweat-dropped, before Ash said, "Brock you know it was inevitable."

Brock just smiled and said, "I just am so happy for you, but I'm sad that everyone got somebody before me."

We all nodded, and I noticed that Gary and Leaf had walked in and were currently on the Dance Floor, while Paul and Dawn were by the punch table just chatting.

Ash and Misty left us to go onto the Dance Floor, while Conway came up to us and asked, "Have you guys seen Dawn."

I was about to point out where Dawn was, but I stopped when I noticed Paul lean down and whisper something into her ear, which made Dawn gasp and shake her head rapidly, Paul then took something out of his pocket and slide it on Dawn's hand, I was about to tell Conway that I didn't know where Dawn was but Conway noticed Dawn by my staring.

Barry walked over and said, "Hey Conway, I think you should go ask Dawn to Dance before Paul does."

Conway started walking over to Dawn, but I grabbed his wrist, which made him look at me oddly before I said, "Conway, don't you have no chance with her, she loves Paul."

Conway started laughing and said, "Like Dawn would ever choose that jerk over me."

I shook my head and said, "Remember what May said in the Hall of Origin about how Dawn feels about you, even if you won't admit it, you know deep down that it's true."

I let Conway go, and watched him get closer to having his heart break.

Brock suddenly asked, "Max how do you know that Dawn loves Paul and will reject Conway."

I noticed that by now all of Dawn's friends had assembled and were eager to hear the answer, so I thought for a moment before saying, "Paul just asked Dawn something, and she said yes."

Conway had returned by now broken spirited from Dawn's refusal of dancing with him and asked, "What did Paul ask?"

I sighed before quickly saying, "Nothing that concerns you."

I ignored all the complaints, grabbed Audrey's hand and walked to the Dance Floor with her.

When I looked back, I noticed that Conway still was in shock and Brock was smiling slightly along with the other older people.

I twirled around with Audrey for a while, before going back to the group, neither Audrey nor I liked dancing much.

Brianna was now seething, "I can't believe the b***h won't let be even come near Drew, all I want is one dance so I can convince him that he loves me not May."

I shook my head and looked around and noticed that Drew and Gary had dragged May and Leaf respectively onto the balcony and were quietly dancing there, but at the same time Gary and Drew both got down on one knee, knowing what was coming I turned back to Brianna who was still looking for May and Drew, along with Solidad, Harley, Robert, and Brock's help before whispering to her, "You've lost the war."

Brianna gasped then stared at me like I was crazy, before silently saying, "No I lost, I lost," over and over again.

Three down, one to go.

I looked around and noticed Ash and Misty making out, but what really stood out was the sparkle on her left hand.

Correct that, all Four Complete.

As soon as Ash and Misty stopped making out, all of the other Aura Guardians walked over to us, with the exception of Sir Aaron, Riley, and Ilene who were chatting near the thrones.

As soon as everyone was together, Conway asked Dawn, "Will you please dance with me?"

Dawn shook her head then said, "I already refused once Conway, and there was a reason why."

Dawn then lifted up her left hand to show the sparkling Silver ring with black pearls and pure white diamonds on it.

All of us who didn't already know gasped, while Conway stuttered out, "Who?"

To answer that question, Dawn reached over to Paul and kissed him fully on the lips earning more gasps from everyone.

May, Leaf, and Misty also added their left hands next to Dawn's to show; a gold ring with a rose shaped ruby surrounded by little emeralds on May's hand, a white golf ring with water droplet shaped sapphires and topaz was on Misty's hand, and a pure black ring with little leaf shaped emeralds and small purple amethysts on Leaf's hand.

Everyone started congratulating them, even Conway and Brianna.

Now the circle is completely secure.


*Max's POV, 1 year later*

So everyone got married, Brandon and Delphina got married first. Ash and Misty followed soon after, Dawn caught the bouquet, but ironically May and Leaf got married next, since they are twins, we had one double wedding for both of them. Today is Paul and Dawn's wedding, and even though we've changed a lot, one thing will always stay the same.

WE'LL ALWAYS BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.


I finished it.
