Ok, last chapter! I hope it ends the story well. Thanks for still reviewing even after I disappeared for a while. Even though I'm starting school soon, I promise my other story ideas will be up and going soon! Anyway, enjoy!

After tea with Offay, and after the rain let up, the Hyperforce got to work rebuilding the West Temple. They worked through the night and into the next afternoon before it was finished. The team then prepared to go home, but not without taking a nap first after all their hard work.

Sparks couldn't sleep, so he went to the place everyone on the Hyperforce seemed to go to think; the top of the Super Robot. As he looked out across the jungles of Galaxia in the early morning light, the events of the last 48 hours ran through his head. The strange creatures, the heartbreak of almost losing Nova, fighting Trent, his confession, the battle, the first kiss, and more importantly, the second. After which, he and Nova went back inside to join the others for tea. They held off telling their teammates about the new relationship, but they dropped a few hints over the last day, such as sticking by each other's side and stealing a kiss when (they thought) no one was looking.

He was happy. That was for sure. So why couldn't he sleep? Why did he feel nauseous? Things were supposed to be great. Something was bothering him.

"Hey," a voice said. Sparks looked behind him and saw Nova come out and sit next to him.

"Oh, hi," Sparks replied, a bit startled to see her, "I thought I was the only one up."

"I couldn't sleep," Nova confessed. "Something 's bothering me."

"What is it?"

She paused, trying to choose her words carefully. Then she stood up. "Sparks, I always loved you. Ever since we started working together. Even when you were an obnoxious jerk. But, I...I was always worried that if we took the next step, and things didn't work out, that-"

"That we wouldn't be friends anymore?" Sparks finished. Nova frowned and looked down. Took the words right out of my mouth.

"I know. I was afraid of the same thing." he admitted. "But I wanted more than anything to be with you."

Nova blushed. "I want to be with you too. But, what if we argue all the time? What if the team falls apart because of us? What if something happens to one of us? I don't want to lose you!" She desperately tried to hold back tears.

Sparks stood up and took Nova by the shoulders. He couldn't bear to see her cry. Nova looked up into his eyes. "I'm scared..." she said.

"I'm scared too," Sparks told her. "Of all of those things. But, I love you, and it's a risk worth taking. Heck, we take a risk everyday when we go out there to defend the universe. Antauri told us thst it's better to see the light than stay in the dark, or, something like that..."

Nova let out a giggle. "You actually listened to Antauri?"

"I have my moments," Sparks chuckled. "C'mon, we make a great team. Won't you take the risk with me? No matter what, we'll always be there for each other."

Nova smiled and hugged him in agreement. They held on to each other for a while, then parted and smiled at each other.

"We should probably go tell the others about all this," Nova said.

"Let 'em sleep," Sparks said, taking her hand and sitting her down beside him. "It's a nice morning." As they sat down and watched the sunrise, they remained quiet for a minute. Sparks then looked at Nova. "Ready to see the light?"

"Yeah", Nova replied, smiling. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

The new couple kissed tenderly. Nova then snuggled up to Sparks, happier than ever. Their tails touched behind them, forming a heart.

New love, watching the sunrise, beautiful jungle planet. The moment was perfect.
