Ok so the bonus scene is below, but read the next note if you want to know what my thoughts are for a sequel. There are two options I have in mind.

#1. Publish the sequel I started writing a month ago.

This is a Sinead/Jonah one that centers around them getting used to their relationship, the spotlight, and barely seeing each other. Like the initial fanfic, there is just a little bit of Amy/Ian and Dan/Natalie interaction. I wrote the first ten chapters already, sort of just for myself because I wasn't sure about publishing it. Jonead isn't a real popular couple so I'm a little hesitant writing more when there's not a lot out there about them. (It has both pros and cons)

But anyways it would have the same flow as the first one, with romance/drama being at the forefront, no action.

#2. Fast forward one year to the Vesper action.

I've written three scenes already as they came to me. This one would probably have just as much Amy/Ian in it as Jonah/Sinead, but would start off with recaps of things that have taken place in the last year to set the scene. The only thing about writing this one is that I'll probably have to re-read the Vesper series as I haven't in a while. I'm not following it play by play (it will be a little AU, especially due to the relationship/ages) but I'm not that great at writing action so I will need to read so I can get an idea of how to write this one. If I choose this sequel, it will probably be summer before I even publish it. AND you might be disappointed in my action-y stuff haha

Anyways, I haven't decided and I wanted to see what my readers thought, since you guys are the ones who motivate me. I may decide to do both, like do the Jonead one first and then the Vesper/Amian one.

On to the epilogue!

Jonah furrowed his brows at his dad, trying to look as sad as he felt. "Can't I just take ten minutes?"

Broderick sighed heavily. "You already need a break? We've only been rehearsing for half an hour!"

Not wanting to admit that he wanted to use the break to call Sinead before she headed out to go snorkeling, he tried again. "Five?"

"Go ahead I guess. But please be mindful of the other people here." He gestured towards the stage, where Jonah's crew was standing and waiting for further instructions.

"Thanks." Jonah called out over his shoulder, already jogging towards the door.

He had his phone out and dialed before he even cleared it, his heart picking up once he heard her voice.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby. I only have five minutes but I wanted to talk to you."

"Ok, hang on just a sec." Sinead said, and he could hear shuffling in the background, along with voices.

"I'm alone now." She said. "Sorry there was too much noise on the patio. Everyone is eating breakfast before we leave."

"I'm so jealous." Jonah moaned. "I barely talked my dad into giving me a short break to call you. I'm stuck doing rehearsals already."

"Aww poor baby." She said, the smile apparent as she spoke. "I'll have extra fun for you ok?"

"No fair." He responded, but changed the subject, purposely making his tone flirty. "So do you miss me?"

"Miss you? I mean, it's only been a day…" Sinead trailed the sentence.

"I'm hurt."

Laughter came over the line. "Of course I miss you."

"Good. I won't feel pathetic alone. Because I'm aware that it's only been a day also."

It was quiet for a beat, then her soft voice said, "It seems longer, doesn't it? And it's crazy, because I never thought I would feel this way."

Jonah was a little taken aback by her honesty, but answered right away. "Me too."

The scoffing in her voice could be heard, "You've been in a lot of relationships."

"But none like this." He countered.

Sinead sighed, "I guess it won't get any better."

"Hey, don't think of it like that." He chided, though his thoughts had been the same on the plane. "We've got lots of ways to connect. And we'll see each other soon. Maybe I can rework my schedule some to see you sooner."

It wasn't very likely but he was determined to try. He was the number one star on the planet, surely that gave him some power over his schedule right?

"That would be nice." Sinead stated, "But I get that you have work to do. I have my own stuff remember? So we're both in the same boat."

"We'll make this work Sinead."

He didn't know why he felt compelled to tell her that, but he was glad he did when she answered, "Yes we will", in that determined tone of hers, the one she took on when talking about curing her brothers.

A smile played over his face, and he knew if this went on he wouldn't make the five minutes. "I've gotta go. My dad will be hunting me down and he's not in a gracious mood right now."

She laughed again, sending a flutter through him.

You're so pathetic.

"I guess I'll let you go then since you're scared of your dad. Or is it Eric?"

"Let's please not talk about him." Jonah said, making a face. "Have fun today."

"You too. Talk to you later."

He had barely gotten a 'later' out before she hung up, but that was fine. Jonah could see Sinead not being good at ending phone conversations.

With a sigh, he tucked his cell phone back into his jacket pocket and headed back into the venue.

"So then I decked the guy." Dan said calmly. "I would have felt bad, but he totally had it coming."

Amy noticed that her brother's words were met with skeptical looks, but no one called him out on his lie. It actually was mostly a true story, except for Dan had only punched the guy's shoulder. But she didn't say anything, her attention turning back to her plate.

For some reason, she wasn't hungry. Ok, she knew the reason, but she was trying not to let it get to her. She wanted to get on a plane and go home to Boston, instead of being stuck here for three more days. Guilt immediately hit her at the thought. She shouldn't feel this way, her cousins were awesome and she loved spending time with them. Focusing her thoughts back to the conversation, she barely picked up Reagan's question.

"Where did Sinead go?" Reagan she asked, looking around the table. "I didn't even see her leave."

Amy opened her mouth but Dan was already speaking, mouth full of course.

"Talking to Jonah on the phone. Where else would she be?"

He said it as a joke, but it was sort of true. While Sinead hung out with them some, it seemed like she was on her phone quite a bit, though she would vehemently deny it.

"It's so weird to see her like this." Ned commented, a wry grin on his face. "It's something new for sure."

"Ah, young love." Nellie said, like she was decades older than them. "I still remember those days."

"Nellie, you're not that much older than them." Amy said. "Like a few years."

"Five. I'm practically ancient." She moaned. But then she brightened. "But it just means I'm wiser. Like who else can persuade an Italian restaurant manager that he should let me be in charge of his kitchen, brainwash all of his cooks, and then steal the famous Bolognese sauce recipe, all while teaching the staff 'The Crazy Frog Song' in four different languages?"

They all blankly stared at her, before Ian broke the silence. "I'm not really sure what you said there Nellie, but I think I agree?"

They all chuckled, both at Ian's words and Nellie's offended look, just as Sinead walked outside.

"What did I miss?" She asked.

"Oh, just Nellie wisdom." Natalie said breezily, "How's Jonah?"

The auburn-haired girl blushed and looked away. "Fine. How did you know I was talking to him?"

"Because that's all you've been doing since yesterday at four." Ted jumped in and said. "But it's ok. Ned and I like him so you're good."

"Thanks for your approval." Sinead stated as she settled into an open chair, but to Amy her tone wasn't that harsh. Then, to her further astonishment, her friend relaxed and stared out into space, a smile crossing her features.

Was she daydreaming or something?

"I can't believe this." Dan said, teasing in his tone. "You're totally in la la land."

Sinead's head snapped up. "Are you talking to me? No I'm not!"

Everyone just looked at her, but she held Dan's gaze.

"Whatever." He finally mumbled.

"By the way Jonah says hi. And he's jealous that we are about to go snorkeling without him while he's stuck at the venue."

Sinead's voice was smug, so Amy couldn't help but add, "Yeah and you're jealous that he's at the venue without you."

After she said the words she hoped that her cousin wouldn't take them the wrong way, but Sinead only retorted weakly, "I'm not jealous."

"It's ok to admit that you miss your boyfriend." Ned said, but his tone was teasing, "We won't hold it against you - too much."

"He hasn't even been gone 24 hours!" Sinead snapped, "Do I look like one of those clingy girlfriends that would be that bothered by it?"

At the silence that fell, she stood. "Ok, well I have stuff to do before we leave."

"Sinead, we're just kidding." Ned spoke up again, but his sister was already through the doorway.

Madison was the first one to say something. "I think she's just embarrassed that she misses him. You guys shouldn't tease her."

"But it's too entertaining." Dan pointed out, putting his feet up on the patio table. "Sinead never acts like this."

"Dan." Amy sighed, "You're such a brat sometimes."

"You mean I'm fun. Well someone has to be to balance you out."

The words were said jokingly and shouldn't have stung, but they did all the same. Trying to cover it up, Amy turned her gaze out over the gardens. She frowned at a random flower bush and thought about how crazy everything had been lately. Not just with Sinead - who she had to admit was acting a little different now - but with everything. She felt a lot closer to most of her cousins now, but at the same time it was so awkward with Ian.

Trying to push back memories of just days ago, when she and Ian had actually spent time together alone and had a blast, she stood. "I'm going inside for a bit too. Just let me know when we're going to leave."

She left quickly, but her heart quickened at Ian's voice behind her, directed towards Dan.

"Amy can be fun too."

Maybe he was thinking the same thing I was. She thought, biting her lip, trying to hold back the smile that was threatening to break over her face. Maybe he was thinking about how much fun that day was and how much fun we had together.

But another thought overrode that, what does it matter though? He sees you as a relative. He has a girlfriend who is drop-dead gorgeous.

Yes, as pitiful as it sounded, Amy had looked up pictures of Ian's girlfriend, and right away wished she hadn't of.

"Hey," a voice said from behind her. Amy glanced back and saw Natalie standing there, arms crossed in front of her.

"Hi Natalie." She answered with no enthusiasm in her voice.

"Look, my brother is an idiot." The girl said, wasting no time.

Amy blinked at her, not sure what to say or how to respond. "Okaaaay." She finally said, prompting a smile from the younger girl.

"Well he is." Natalie sniffed. "I don't think he and his girlfriend will last, so don't be so, what does Dan say, 'bummed out' over it."

Amy forced a smile on her face. She knew that Natalie was trying to help, but a pep talk wasn't exactly going to cut it.

"I think he has feelings for you."

Now that grabbed her attention. "What?" She asked dumbly.

"I think he has for a long time. This girl is just a cover-up." Natalie shrugged, then let out a dainty laugh. "But I didn't tell you that."

"Look Natalie, I appreciate you trying to help." Amy said, overcoming her surprise, "But I'm fine with it ok? He can date whoever he wants."

Natalie gave her a look that indicated she didn't believe her, but Amy ignored it.

"I just am a little homesick I think." She went on, trying to explain. "I miss Boston and this has been a long and eventful trip."

Natalie nodded, "It has been long. I don't mind of course, but it's different with me I suppose."

Amy smiled at this. Though she was jealous at times, she had to admit that her brother and Natalie were adorable together. The British girl was good for Dan, who seriously needed someone to help him mature. And Natalie was a pro at that.

"You and Dan probably loved having this time together."

"Yes. It's nice when we can finally see each other after long separations. And now Jonah and Sinead are going to experience the same thing."

Amy thought about this for a minute, knowing that Sinead would try to play it off, but already seemed to be having a hard time. It looked like there were going to be two people in the house that occasionally moped.

Smiling dryly, she stated, "It looks like I'm going to be the relationship advisor, though I can't even manage to get my own."

She hoped it didn't sound bitter, but Natalie must not have thought so because she grinned. "Hey you never know what will happen."

Amy ignored the promise in the other girl's tone and headed towards the stairs. "I guess not."

But for now, she determined in herself to have fun this week and to ignore Ian. She wasn't even going to let herself think about it.

So short but sweet (I hope haha) ...don't forget to let me know which sequel you want!

Later alligators!
