Thank you very much for all the reviews! I love you all!
And vuala, the very last chapter!
It was now about a month later, and Kuzco and I were currently vacationing at our summer house on the hill next to Pacha's. It was a small, cozy house, though bigger than the one in the movie. Outside the front door was the mini Kuzcotopia, now turned into a bird bath.
The servants had kicked us out for a month, saying we shouldn't have to plan our own wedding.
It was our first day of the month, and Pacha had invited us to go swimming in the nearby pond. Kuzco and I had happily agreed to go, planning to meet them at about noon.
Some of the kids were going earlier to get in as much pool time as possible, and I asked that if I got up early, I could go with them. Chaca and her friends had been completely thrilled, and warned me not to be late.
I was suddenly having second thoughts about going when they told me that they would be outside my house at dawn. Nonetheless, I had nodded and told them I would be ready.
I woke just as the sun was coming up, then hopped out of my warm bed and ran to get ready. I accidentally woke Kuzco in the process, who was sleeping in the bed on the other side of the room.
"Wha... Why are you up so early, Kylie?" Kuzco asked me from underneath his sheets. I grinned at the sleepy look on his face.
"I promised Chaca and her friends I would be up and ready to swim at dawn." I told him, grabbing my swim-suit and towel, and heading for the little changing screen.
"Why would you want to swim so early?" Kuzco asked, starting to get up, then dove back under the covers when he felt the cold morning air. I threw my sleeping clothes on my bed, now dressed in a blue tube-top, and a knee-length matching blue skirt.
"C'mon, Kuzco! Dawn is the best time to swim! The water's freezing from the night before, nobody else is up, and the sun looks gorgeous sparkling on the water that early." I told him, wrapping my towel around my shoulders.
"But I don't wanna get up!" Kuzco said, burying his face into his pillow. I raised an eyebrow.
"You don't have to. It's just Chaca, her friends and I. You have until noon to be there." I told him, sitting down on his bed. He looked up at me.
"Really?" He asked me suspiciously, and I grinned.
"Really. Just be sure to be up before noon." I warned him, then heard a knock at the door. I placed a quick kiss on his forehead and tucked the blankets back over him before heading towards the door.
"Love you." I heard Kuzco mummer, and I stopped, that overwhelming feeling of happiness halting my steps.
"Love you, too." I called back to him, then ran to answer the door. On my way, I wondered if today was the day to tell Kuzco about something.
I stopped just before the door when I heard voices coming from the other side.
"She's almost a grown-up, Chaca. You don't really think she would actually get up this early just to swim with us kids?" One voice said, and then Chaca's voice responded.
"She promised us, so she'll be here!" Was the indignant reply, and I grinned, getting ready to open the door.
"I don't think so." The same girl from before said doubtfully. I opened the door a crack to see Chaca facing me, and her supposed doubting friend with her back to the door.
Chaca and her other friends saw me, and their faces lit up. I made a shushing motion, and they all looked away.
"She's probably still in there, fast asleep." The girl continued, and I finally opened the door.
"I'm shocked that you doubt me so." I said, watching in amusement as the girl jumped and spun around. The other girls laughed, and Chaca went up to hug me.
"So, you girls ready to swim?" I asked, lifting Chaca up onto my shoulders. The girls grabbed my hands and pulled me away.
"Yeah! There's this cool water slide that leads right down to the pool!" They all said, then proceeded to drag me to the mentioned slide. Chaca jumped off of my shoulders to get to the water, and all the girls went to feel the temperature. When they felt how cold it was, they all jumped back.
There was a couple moments of arguing of who was going first, when they all suddenly stopped and looked at me. I blinked.
'Uh-oh.' Chaca walked right up to me.
"Alright, Kylie. In order to prove yourself an honorary best friend of our's, you have to be the first to go down the freezing cold water slide, straight into the pool." Chaca said, completely serious. All the other girls stepped out of m way, all obviously expecting me to try and wriggle my way out of it.
"Calibunga!" I shouted, jumping off the ledge and into the water slide, though being careful to protect my stomach. The girls watched in shock as I slid all the way down and splashed into the pool. I shot up, whipping my hair out of my face. "Come on!" I shouted playfully, and the next second I was bombarded by little girls.
We splashed and swam and laughed for hours, until I finally decided I needed a rest. The girls whined, but I reminded them how I had gotten up at dawn just to go swimming with them, and how Pacha and Kuzco would be out soon. The girls all nodded and continued to swim.
After getting out and drying off, I heard a familiar "Ha! Boom, baby!", followed by another, not-quite-as familiar "Ha! Boom, baby!"
I soon heard the music to 'Perfect World; Reprise.' I giggled as I saw Kuzco sliding down the same slide I had at dawn. He fell in beside Chaca and Tipo, who had joined us earlier. I heard the Theme Song Guy start singing as Pacha swung in on his vine.
You'd be the coolest dude in the nation
The wave Pacha created when landing pulled Kuzco right over the edge of the pool.
Or the hippest cat in creation
Kuzco landed on his his feet in the sandy area, grabbing a towel and drying off his hair.
But if you ain't got friends then nothing's worth the fuss
Chicha came up to Kuzco and presented him with his own hand-made shawl, with a llama crocheted right in the middle. Kuzco smiled tearily and hugged her and her new baby, Yupi, who was in a pouch on Chicha's back.
A perfect world will come to be
I walked up to them and hugged Kuzco around the waist, which he returned happily.
But everybody here can see
Pacha came out, fully dressed for some strange reason, ('Another plot hole.' I thought to myself.) and hugged all of us.
That a perfect world begins and ends
Tipo jumped on onto Pacha's left shoulder, and now we were all smiling happily.
A perfect world begins and ends
Now Chaca came and jumped up onto Pacha's other shoulder. The smile was beginning to hurt.
A perfect world begins and ends with us!
When he finished singing, the Theme Song Guy and a whole bunch of other villagers whom I didn't know slid in next to us, and we all posed for the end of the movie. 'And, cut to Kronk and the Junior Chipmunks.' I thought sarcastically.
After a minute of awkward silence, I sighed.
"Is this getting awkward to anyone else?" I asked through the tight smile. A chorus of 'yep', 'uh-huh' and 'a little bit' answered me. There was another moment of silence until I continued. "So...can we move now?" I asked, looking at the Theme Song Guy. He nodded, and we all fell out of our arrangement.
"Okay...Can I go swimming now?" Kuzco asked, and I giggled.
"Yup! The water's warm now, great for swimming." I told him. "Just don't jump in with that shawl on." I finished, and he handed it to me. I hung it up on a nearby branch, making sure it was far enough away not to get wet.
"Aren't you coming in?" Kuzco asked when he saw me sit down at the edge.
"Nope. I've been in since dawn, remember?" I reminded, sitting down. "Boy, those kids sure can tire you out." I tested the waters, trying to find out if Kuzco could handle the news.
"Yeah, Chaca is full of energy. I have to tell you though, I would mind having a kid like her." He replied, smiling at me.
I smiled widely back, knowing for sure that it was time to tell him.
"Kuzco?" I caught his complete attention.
"Yeah?" He sat down beside me, eyes on my face.
"Speaking of having kids…" I trailed off, hoping he would get the rest of it.
He looked confused for a moment, but then I saw dawning comprehension. I smiled, pulling his hand to rest over my stomach tenderly.
He looked absolutely shocked for another half-second, then a huge grin split his face. He jumped up excitedly, then suddenly fell backwards.
I ran towards him, only to see him completely unconscious with a goofy smile on his face. I smiled at him, shaking my head gently.
It seems my Emperor couldn't handle the news of his Orphan's child after all.
Sammie: Ooh...that was a cheesy ending. Extremely cheesy. But I have to put a reference to the title by the end of all my stories. So far, only this one and Was It really So Horrible? have it, but I shall do them all!
One more thing from me; virtual cookies to whoever manages to guess the gender of the baby!
Oh, and one more announcment from my spokesperson.
Spokesperson: Thank you all very much for your generous dontations to help cure SammieValAlxJas' disease, I-Needy-Reviews. Thanks to you wonderful people, she has been able to upload this chapter, and will survive to write more fanfictions.
I actually have something imporatnt to tell you all; we were actually holding back on you. Her disease was actually a subgroup of I-Needy-Reviews, which was I-Needy-Reviews-For-My-Emperor'sNewGroove-Story syndrome. I'm sorry that I held back this information, and will now tell you the complete truth; she's actually suffering from many subgroups of the disease, including I-Needy-Reviews-For-My-Aladdin-Story, I-Needy-Reviews-For-My-TreasurePlanet-Story, and I-Needy-Reviews-For-My-IceAge-Story, among many others. In fact, our studies show that she's very subsectible to this disease, and will very likely develope cases of many more subgroups of I-Needy-Reviews. Please, I know we've asked so much already, but this is for the authoress' sanity.
Sammie: Oh, don't be such a drama queen. What he means to is that I would love it if you checked out my other stories, and even threw a review or two out for me.
I'll see you all in my next story!
Spokesperson: *flat stare*
Sammie: What? You're the one that predicted I would develope more subgroups! That directly translates to "She's going to write more stories!"
Spokesperson: *smacks hand to forehead*
Sammie: Hmmph! My readers want more stories!
Right?
...Right!
