AN: Yea so if you want an over view of the chapter I can describe it in three words: fluffy fluffy fluff. Hehehe, okay so I kinda did steal a little from New moon when Edward comes back…

"My goodness! I should reserve a hospital bed and chair for you two! You're a mess!" Nurse Spex complained rather loudly. Erik just grinned; she did have a bit of a point. Although at the moment he didn't really care. All that mattered was that his love and he was alive and together again. Baron was killed and the Battle family lying low after being almost over thrown by six teenagers now in the power of Tyrone. Erik smiled as he lightly caressed her cheek. Nothing would threaten them now, and they could just be normal teenagers. Okay, so as normal as a flying-plant controlling boy and flame throwing-freezing girl could be.

"You've got it bad." Erik whirled around to see Warren's figure silhouetted in the frame of the door. "Not that many boyfriends would go as far to challenge an entire family of fire elementals to bring back a girl that supposedly hated you."

"Maybe so, but not many girls are like Allie," Erik shot back.

"Yea, most girls don't try to kill their boyfriends," a half strained voice mumbled.

"ALLIE?!" Erik yelped. Allie's eyes fluttered open and closed, trying to grin.

"Hey Erik…" she breathed deeply. He smiled, tracing the features of her face; the hollows under her eyes, her nose, her lips, and neck. A soft vibration resounded in her throat in pleasure.

"Are you purring?" he chuckled. She only nodded helplessly. "You really are a tiger."

"I really missed you," she whispered through his forefinger stroking her warm lips. He beamed trailing down her neck only a little above her collar bone; her father was in the room after all.

"Can I steal my daughter from you for a moment?" Warren snickered.

"Dad," she moaned grinning weakly. He beamed and knelt down beside her, holding her outstretched hand between his two much larger in comparison, ones.

"I thought I lost you forever," he sighed. Suddenly his eyes tightened, "Don't.Ever.Do.That.To.Me.AGANI!!!"

She smiled apologetically, "Sorry Dad." He deeply inhaled and exhaled. "Sorry about all of this. I know that you have a thing against the Battles, and for me too…." she trailed off.

"After what you did to Baron, how could I possibly be mad? My little girl took down one of the biggest super villains of all time!"

"Somehow, I don't think that's how most fathers would react…"

"Am I like most fathers?"

"Nope…."

"So…I'm guessing you want me out of here so you can be with your little boy?" Warren half-heartedly laughed.

"Well the thought had crossed my mind…." She smirked. Warren shook his head lightly before kissing her forehead and exiting the room. She transferred her attention from her father back to Erik, smiling serenely. "First time in a while I can just relax."

"I would guess so," Erik laughed. Allie snickered, and scooted over to the over side of the bed, patting the empty space for him to lie down beside her. He complied eagerly, feeling the need to be as close as possible to her. "Saying that I missed you would be a bit of an understatement."

"When I saw you with Kaitlin, I thought," she sighed.

"NO! I wasn't, I didn't mean…" he frantically mumbled. "I guess I was trying to prove something, like I was completely unfazed or something. I never would have, I mean she…"

"Erik?"

"Yea?"

"Shut the heck up," she ordered, pulling him onto his side, leaning forward and pressing her lips against his. At first he was frozen, unable to react, only to feel and to get a grasp of what was happening. This was his Allie, in his arms again. On top of that she wasn't trying to kill him; always a good plus. With Baron dead, they were free to be together again, without a care in the world; or at least as carefree you can be when you're in high school. He groaned and wrapped his arms around her waist, rubbing small circles on her back. His hands slowly snaked up the back of her shirt causing her to moan. Her skin was so hot, similar to a piece of metal that's been heated by a fire; although that's just what made Erik want her more and more. He slowly trailed small kisses down her neck. Only when he went lower than her collarbone did she let out a tiny whimper. He nearly burst out laughing at the look of helplessness on her face. Allie Peace; can handle mass-murderers but not Erik Stronghold. He smirked, cupping her cheek in his palm.

"You never stopped loving me did you?"

"No, you know how I feel. I always did. I lied to protect you."

"Why? What would happen if you hadn't left me?"

"The Battles would've killed you. It was either kill myself from the inside out or watch them kill you."

"I wish you had told me."

"You wouldn't have let go if you knew that, that was the only reason I had to leave; although the pursuit to keep you and my friends away from my family failed anyways."

"No I wouldn't have," he grinned. "It doesn't matter now though."

"That is if I don't go to jail. I stole, murdered, and was in an alliance with Baron Battle."

"That alliance kind of died when you killed him."

"The law says otherwise Erik," she sighed.

"Don't ruin the moment, not now," he ordered pulling her face back to his, claiming her for his. "I won't lose you….not again…" he murmured against her neck, massaging her sides.

"Somehow I don't think this is the time or place for that," she snickered.

"Why?" he moaned, kneading up her body.

"Hospital bed? Not precisely where I imagined my first time, Erik."

"Ugghhhh….." he grumbled.

"If it makes you feel any better, I did imagine it with you," she reassured. His expression became a lopsided grin. "I just would prefer it in a more….romantic location, and hospital isn't really what I consider romantic."

"Half of the cheesy romance soap operas end in a hospital," he countered.

"Yes, when one of them is about to DIE! Please don't tell me you think I'm about to die."

"Fine you win," Erik growled. Allie smirked and placed a gentle kiss on his lips, lingering a moment before pulling back.

"Thank you Erik," she sighed.

"I love you Allie."

"I love you too."

"ALLIE!!!" Both spun around just in time to see Tally leap on Allie's side of the bed, shoving her fingers in her face. A beautiful silver band, with two diamonds surrounding a much larger one was situated on her ring finger. Allie's jaw fell open.

"Jason proposed?!" she shrieked.

"YES!!!" Tally squealed. "He figured that since we had been through a near death experience together, we can make it through anything!"

"Married at fifteen, a freshman!" Allie laughed. "Are you nuts?"

"Probably! But I frankly don't care!"

"Oh well, I suppose you're a lucky girl," Allie snickered.

"Yep, and I'm a lucky boy to have this lady on my arm," Jason chuckled coming in and wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "An exceptionally lucky boy."

"He asked me after we came to hospital; turns out there was a jewelry store down the street," Tally laughed. "Come on Allie! You're going to help me pick out a wedding dress!"

"Huh? What happened to 'poor HURT Allie'?" she complained.

"Oh you're fine," Tally ignored her hauling her off the bed, and unsuccessfully onto her feet.

"OH the pain!" Allie fake moaned letting herself sag to the floor like a burlap sack.

"Come on, we all know you're faking."

"I just fought a capital villain, don't I deserve a little of time to rest?"

"You were just fine when it was just you and Erik! Besides I know you well enough that you're made out of steel, you're FINE!!" Tally announced hoisting Allie up by her shoulders and hauling her out the door.

"Poor Allie," Jason snickered. "I'm sorry I sentenced her to that."

"Yea, I feel sorry for her. Girl can't seem to get a break; high school, villains, random underage girls forcing her to give her opinions on wedding dresses," Erik laughed. Jason exhaled, and placed his arms over his head.

"So…when you goin' ask her?"

"Ask who what?"

"You know what I mean; when I you going to propose to Allie?"

"Come on we're fifteen!"

"So are we! If you can tell anybody about asking her, I think me and Tally could sympathize with you the best."

"That's true," Erik mused.

"So, you never thought about marrying her?"

"I wouldn't say that…" he grinned sheepishly. "I'm just waiting for the perfect moment."

"Alright."

"You two were playing cupid with us since the start!"

"Why yes we were! Any other questions?"

"You and Tally cornered both of us after Math class didn't you!"

"Of course, you two were completely oblivious! We couldn't just sit back and wait could we?" Jason laughed.

"Weirdly, I'm glad you two interfered."

"I'm glad; so you still going to homecoming?"

"I guess, why not?" Erik shrugged.

"Allie will probably be there; that is if Tally doesn't kill her first."

"Yea, I guess neither of us have any control of our girlfriends do we?"

"I think they more have leashes around us!" Jason cracked up.

"Beautiful….okay, can I go now?" Allie complained slumped over in her chair as Tally spun in perfect circle blowing her skirt up. Tally glared daggers at her.

"Allie you're not even trying! And to think that I'm making you my bride's maid!" Emma giggled holding two other dresses over her left arm. Apparently she was enjoying this far more than Allie was.

"I think you look great Tal!" Emma cooed. Tally grinned twirling around in a half spin, while Allie rolled her eyes.

"No, that skirt looks like a lamp shade. It doesn't do you any favors Rocky." Tally scowled and stuck out her tongue. Allie shrugged, "You asked for my opinion. Not my fault you ended up with the hardest critic you could've possibly gotten."

"FINE! Then you go pick out a dress!" Tally threw her arms up in the air.

"I'm handicapped remember?"

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll get it," Emma offered as Tally stomped off into the dressing room. Allie nodded slowly before pointing instantly at a dress a few feet away. It was snow white, layered below the waist into ruffles, and a strapless simple top. Next she pointed effortlessly without moving anything except her eyes and arm, at a thick plum colored sash and a similar colored velvet rose. She wordlessly collected the items and passed them inside the stall.

"Wow, this is pretty…" Tally cooed from inside.

"Come on girl let's see it!" Emma whined, pouting. She danced out happily; her curly golden hair bouncing up and down wildly and contrasting perfectly to the layers in the dress.

"IT'S AMAZING!!!" Emma shrieked bounding up and inspecting the dress further. Allie merely grinned.

"You like Allie?"

"Yeah, it's pretty on you."

"So, after this we're going to help you get ready for Homecoming!" Tally announced. Allie's jaw slacked, 'Aren't they done torturing me? I can finally be with Erik again and then I'm brutally dragged away again.'

"Come on, you wanna impress Erik don't cha'?" Emma taunted. Allie rolled her eyes.

"At least he doesn't put me through this! He deals with me faults and all."

"So? You still want to impress him don't you?" Tally laughed.

Allie glowered, "Fine…but if you two get out of hand, you're going to wish that all you had was third degree burns."

"YAY!" Emma cheered. Her face suddenly became completely blank.

"Uh, Em? You okay?" Tally asked waving her hands in front of her face.

She shook herself, "I knew it! I knew it! HAHAHA!!!"

"Okay, its official, Emma has gone completely and utterly nuts," Allie commented dryly.

"No I just saw something about Homecoming…about you and Erik…"

"Spill girl!" Tally ordered excitedly. Even Allie looked interested; instead of slumped over, her back was completely straight and her bright black eyes were focused on her.

"I'm not telling you!" she laughed. "You'll find out soon enough, but in the meantime…you need to get ready!"

"Whatever I already have a dress, so there's no need to buy me one."

"Let's go to my house, I have all the stuff we need there," Tally said racing back into the changing stall to put back on her regular clothes. "But first we need to pay for this."

AN: Okay, so this isn't the epilogue. I originally was going to make it only one chapter but I decided why try to cram it all? PLEASE REVIEW!!! I've been spiraling into writer's depression from lack of commentary. Like I said before, faster you review, faster I get the last chapter out. Just as a heads up, if you guys want a sequel, I want 100 reviews, with at least 3 asking for a sequel.
