Pink with Envy

Chapter 21: The End is only the beginning.

Hunter waited patiently inside the mostly packed up Oliver house for Neveah. He was dressed in a black tux with black dress shoes and a crimson undershirt and gold tie. Kim smiled at the boy as she stood waiting with him, a camera in hand. Kim couldn't help but admit the boy was quite handsome, her daughter had great taste and crimson and gold look good on him. Sighing Kim looked up as she heard the soft footsteps of her daughter. She smiled upon seeing her. She was dressed in her most formal dress which made her look even older then what she already appeared. In the light pink full length pleated silk-chiffon gown with rose gold embroidery and drape style she could easily pass for twenty. It had always amazed her how much older her daughter looked in the proper clothes and had always made Tommy on edge. He was already loosing his little girl so quickly, he didn't need her dressing like she was already an adult.

Kim also noticed the dragonfly jewelry she seemed to love so much and the new pair of dragonfly stud earrings she had gotten her daughter the day before, and the pair of silver high heels which were strappy and barely seen under her dress. To top it off she on a light pink shawl around her shoulders and her hair was wavy and fell down her back. A week science their powers had been lost and life had returned to normal. No fear of battles, of her daughter dying in battle or being turned evil once again. The peace was nice and Neve and Hunter had to agree. Not only did they have more time for life but for each other. Hence the fancy dinner date.

Hunter smiled up at his girlfriend as she walked down the stairs and he held out his arm for her as she reached the bottom. Kim smiled and pulled up the camera.

"Smile you two," she said and Hunter wrapped his arms around Neve's waist and they both smiled at the camera. It seemed like forever before Kim let the two out of the house and Hunter led his girlfriend to the car which was no surprise – crimson. The restaurant was beautiful, and Neve smiled as he led her inside.

"Reservation for Bradley," Hunter said and the guy at the podium with the book – Neve was never sure what his job was actually called – nodded and led them to a secluded area and table. They ordered and waited for their food. It was almost twenty-minutes before it was brought out.

"Hunter, are we going to be able to work through this distance?" Neve finally asked as they ate in silence. Hunter looked at his girlfriend and grinned.

"I undersand you fear Neve, but we won't be that far apart. I love you, and I always will," Hunter told her and Neve grinned and sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry, I just needed to hear you say that. I just, my parents almost didn't get back together after my mother moved away and I don't...I don't want to end up like my parents in that way," she siad and Hunter smirked at her teasingly.

"Well unless you have some sort of immaculate conception to tell me about I don't think we have to worry," he said and Neve laughed shaking her head.

"You goof." she shook her head as she calmed down and she reached across to take his hand in hers.

"I love you Hunter," she said and Hunter grinned before bringing out a pink gift box with a pink ribbon. It was about the size of a medium size piece of paper and almost flat as he slid it across the table.

"I saw these in the mall and I couldn't help but think of you." Neve looked at him and smiled before opening the lid and gasping. Inside were two pieces of jewelry. One a silver watch with a design of dragonflys on it and the other a silver claddagh ring with a pink sapphire in the middle. She looked at him and he smiled.

"The first I think is pretty self explanatory, my beautiful dragonfly. The other is a promise ring, In tradition you'd wear it on your right hand. If the heart is facing outward it means your single and most likely looking for a relationship. It the heart in facing inward, then it means someone has already captured your heart," Hunter said and Neve smiled and took the ring and slid it onto her right ring finger the heart facing inward. Hunter grinned and smiled as she placed the watch on her left wrist opposite her dragonfly bracelet. Neve then smirked as she pulled out a small red and black box from her small purse and gave it to him.

"It's nothing extravagant, it's a protection pendent. It'll keep you safe for me," Neve said and Hunter grinned as he pulled out the arrowhead shaped pendent which almost looked Celtic in design. He smiled at her and put it on and leaned across the table to kiss her softly.

"We'll make this work Neve, don't worry," he whispered and Neve nodded.

"I know, this is only the beginning."

A/N: So chapter 21, one more to go. I know this was short, but it was never meant to be a very long chapter. Just a bit of fluff before you all have to deal with few chapters were Hunter appears and mostly phone conversations until the third story. Also who wants to take a guess at Neve's new color in DT. The tittle when I post the first chapter will pretty much give it away completely but whoever can guess it before then gets a cookie! Also I am at a bit of a delema on a pairing for DT; Connor/Kira or Trent/Kira? I love both, and can't decide. I am being swayed though by my plot bunnies with Connor and Kira but then the other half wants Trent and Kira but then...maybe that would take away from Neve and Hunter's Kim-Tommy similarity to badly having them together? If I have Connor and Kira together then they can remind us of Jason and Trini. Help! Anyways I hope ya'll enjoy and that last chapter up tomorrow! Along with a possible first chapter of...oh you almost got the tittle out of me. Nope, you'll have to wait. R&R Please!
