This is what happened with the gang 10 years after this story taking place. I loves these things on TV and Romance Anime (Ex| Myself;Yourself, Ano natsu de matteru) So I hope you enjoy this, because I know I will! This just helps speed the story along and is great in general.


It's been ten years since Sakura and I have been dating. Since then we did tons of stuff, we stopped writing Let's Fall In Love and started one with a new collaboration named In Love. Today is a special day for us. It is the summer festival in town and all of us are meeting up. We still keep in contact and once in a while they will visit to help with the manga mostly, but sometimes we go out for dinner. I went to college for liberal arts and got a masters degree in a new course at Tokyo University named Popular Arts and Illustrations. The whole class was a 4 year course on comic illustration and comic creation. The teacher was a bit crazy with the way he taught stuff. What was his name.. oh right he was great. Super laid back and taught us a ton of stuff. Now I am efficient manga making machine for the masses.

"Nozaki come on, we don't want to be late for the festival!" Sakura was waiting in the hallway of their apartment. It was a special day for them, ten years ago was the day they confessed to each other.

"Alright, just needed to get on clean socks!" He lied, instead he had to grab a small box from his secret box on top of his closet. Sakura can't reach up there so he knew it was safe.

The walk to the park was short. As they saw the festival from afar Sakura's eyes lit up with wonder.

"I have been coming here for all my life every year, every year I wear the same Yukata but every time I find this amazing," She was holding Nozaki's hand the whole time and he just smiled at her.

"Come on let's find the others." He started to pull her into the crowd.

"Hey, mangaka, over here!" A familiar voice was shouting his nickname. They looked over and saw none other than Seo standing with Waka by a park bench.

"Seo! How have you been!" Sakura was still on a wonder high.

"Good my little angel, good. Oh wait you're Nozaki's angel aren't you?" She had a slight smirk on her face.

"Seo, don't tease them again, remember what I had to do last time?" Waka had to stop Seo from teasing them one time and the only way he could was kissing her as hard as he could. They were in a mall in the middle of a courtyard.

"I may love you, but don't remind me of that!" Seo pouted a little bit before backing off.

"Seo, have you seen-" Nozaki was cut off by a loud slap on his back.

"Kashima and Hori… never mind found them." Nozaki grunted a bit before standing up.

"Nozaki don't be rude, you know it's not Kashima anymore, it's Mr and !" Sakura was beaming with joy.

The fact that Kashima and Hori got married didn't really shock them but they didn't know what to call them anymore. No one ever called her Yuu so we still call her Kashima.

"Oh just call me Kashima still, it's what you're used to. This dummy still does." She leaned over and kissed Hori on the cheek.

"Hey don't steal the spotlight ok?" Hori nudged Kashima a bit.

"Spotlight?" Sakura and Nozaki said at the same time.

As they did Waka moved behind Seo and held her waist while she held her hand out. The lanterns hit the gem and reflected beautifully through the night.

"You PROPOSED!? Why didn't you tell us, baka!" Sakura was happy and angry at them. So confusing to her.

"Yeah, I planned the night perfectly. I took her to the the new B-rated Sci-fi movie, we went to a nice dinner, then we took a walk along the old temple bridge. That's where I proposed. The wedding is in four months."

"Congratulations man, I wish you tons of happiness." Nozaki was happy but never sounded like he was. But we all knew, so it was nice to hear it.

"Seo you look so good with that on, I'm surprised Waka could man up enough! And I suppose you share a place right? Oh man that must be tough."

"It's not all that tough I just sing to him every night and hop into bed with him, it's nice to do that since I don't sing much nowadays except for in my philharmonic. Practices are on weekends, and when we travel to compete." Seo just said all that bluntly like being in a national singing group wasn't big or something.

"Right… well none the less what do you guys want to do tonight? Lots of stuff to do!" Nozaki looked around proudly as if he set up the whole festival by himself.

"Candy apples, they're a necessity!" Sakura fist bumped the air while shouting.

"Haha, alright sure. Come on let's go!" Nozaki grabbed Sakura's hand and waved the others on with his free hand.

The group spent most of the night playing games, buying some food and laughing a lot. The soft glow of the lanterns and the waves of people made the world feel alive. It was warm out, not too hot but still warm enough that it wasn't cool. Scientists call this the 'goldilocks zone' of living. Where everything is just right.

*BOOM*

"Ahh! Guys the fireworks started!" Sakura was overjoyed.

He bent down and whispered. "Sakura, want to go to our special place? Just you and me?"

The others didn't notice them leaving, they were all watching the fireworks. When Seo turned around and she didn't see them there she just smiled knowing where they went.

When they reached the top of the hill only two or three fireworks went off so there would still be enough to watch.

Sakura looked over at Nozaki. "Can you help me up?" She said with a cheerful and patient voice.

"Of course dear… but uhm before I do." *BOOM* He swallowed a bit but still moved on. Grabbing the small box in his pocket.

"What do you need?" She was oblivious to what was about to happen.

"You have been with me my whole life and I would never change that. But sometimes I feel that you mean more to me, I just want to know one thing." Nozaki slowly got down on one knee.

*BOOM*

"Sakura Chiyo. You mean the world to me, and if you please. Will you marry me?" He said trying to keep his strength of voice and posture.

*BOOM*

"yes, yes, yes, YES I WILL! Nozaki Umetaro I will marry you!" She was crying tears of joy. She was thinking about the wedding, the children, everything! She wanted to be with this man forever 10 years ago, and now she can. She lunged at him and hugged him, upon coming back she leaned in and gave him a strong, deep, and passoniate kiss. It said all that will be done within the next few years. All the love, all the pain, all the work, but all of the joy.

*BOOM*

She broke away from the kiss and stared Nozaki in the face. He took the ring out of the box and slipped it on her finger. The ring was a simple band with red rubies and white diamonds set in it to make a polka dot like pattern. It was perfect for her.

"Nozaki Umetaro I love you, I will for the rest of my life." Sakura said with her deepest and sexiest voice she could muster.

"Chiyo Sakura I will love you even more till the end of time itself." He said with great conviction. After that he picked her up Princess style, climbed to the top of the jungle gym and watched the rest of the fireworks.

This night was truly filled with fireworks.

"OH MY GOD HE TOOK HER NAME!" Seo and Kashima said in perfect unison.

Attached to the text was an image. Sakura was holding her hand out and Nozaki took a picture just as a firework exploded behind them.

"I saw this coming, I mean 10 years people. The man moves slow but that girl is phenomenal at staying with him. She is a tiny titan."

I love you Nozaki, I love you

Sakura fell asleep into his arms and he gave her a kiss on the head before carrying her to their apartment.
