Epilogue
"Well what do you think?" Angel asked smiling up at Collins. "Isn't it gorgeous?"
Collins grinned and kissed Angel on the nose. "Yes, you are,"
Angel giggled softly. "No, darling, my cap! These things are so ugly. Why do they made us wear them?"
Collins shrugged, "Tradition, I suppose. Although you know me. I have never been one to follow the rules." He smirked evilly.
"Thomas Collins what are you up to?"
"You'll see."
The door to Angel's room swung open. Angel shrieked and Collins tightened his grip on her. "Hello love birds," Maureen announced.
"It's called knocking," Collins snapped.
"Yeah whatever. Have you seen Joanne?"
"She is at Mark's apartment." Angel replied. "We'll head over with you. If Mark is there than Roger is there and if Roger is there than Mimi is as well. I need to show her my lovely cap." She thrust it out in front of her.
Maureen gasped. "That is adorable, Angel!" The dull blue color was covered in glittering crystals. The tassel hanging off was braided with silver thread.
Angel smiled proudly. "Now there is the matter of the gown."
"Later," Maureen said grasping her hand.
Maureen practically ran out of the apartment with Angel and Collins following her.
Mark's apartment door was wide open. The sound of quiet sobs slowed down Maureen's pace.
"I just don't know what to do Mark. She is so unreliable. I love Maureen more than anything, but I can't trust her." Joanne's voice was heard by Maureen as well as Angel and Collins.
Maureen walked into the apartment slowly. "Jo? Can I talk to you for a sec?" Joanne wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. Mark stood up off the couch and walked over to Maureen. "This needs to end. You can't mess with her the same as you did with me," Mark's face was flushed with anger. Maureen stood up tall, trying not to look as weak or upset as she felt.
Maureen took Joanne's hand and they walked into the hallway. She grabbed Joanne's other hand and their eyes met. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for cheating on you. I'm sorry for lying to you. I'm sorry for everything. Most of all I'm sorry I have been too much of a coward to commit to you. Almost losing you made me realize that I cant go on with out you." Maureen's eyes were glittering with unshed tears. It wasn't like her to display emotions like this. Joanne pulled Maureen into a soft kiss which Maureen deepened.
Mark walked into the hallway. "We all need to get changed." he said softly.
Maureen and Joanne walked into the apartment. Angel and Mimi were already in their graduation gowns, admiring Angel's handiwork. Collins and Roger were talking in secret to each other. Mark pulled out his camera. "Graduation day. We are all almost ready to head down to the school and take that step towards adult hood." He flicked off his camera and put on his cap.
One by one they made their way out of the room.

Students were pilled in the gym. Everyone had gotten their diploma. As the principle was starting his closing speech Mark turned on his camera. He didn't know what Collins and Roger had planned, but apparently Maureen was now in on it too. He scanned around the students. The camera falling on Collins whispering something to Angel that made her laugh, then on Mimi and Roger kissing, and then on Maureen kissing Joanne on the cheek.
"I now present to you the class of-" The principle was cut off by the sound of a girl screaming. He spun his camera over and saw Maureen, Roger and Collins unzipping their robes, with nothing underneath. The three ran up the stage and across the principle in all their naked glory. Two security gauds started after them one lunged at Collins and would have had him if Angel didn't trip him. Collins grabbed Angels hand and the two bolted for the exit. Followed by Maureen and Joanne. Roger grabbed Mimi.
Mark watched all of his friends, happy and in love. It was moments like this when he felt lonely. "Mark, hurry your ass up!" Mark looked over and saw all of them waiting for him. Then again not really. They all had each other and for now Mark was fine with that.
