I don't own Vampire Academy because if I did, it wouldn't as good as it is.

I slept crying and I woke up crying. Partly because the dream had ended and because Adrian was gone. Those few minutes of the dream had been the best of my life over the past two years. Seeing his beautiful face and smelling his delicious taste . . . well, I couldn't describe how I felt. It was such a wonderful feeling to know that he was still out there and well. Jade was asleep, thankfully. I didn't want her to hear me crying again. It was embarrassing. I never liked to show my emotions out in public.

I wasn't feeling the tiredness anymore. I pondered over what Adrian had said about him having a surprise for me. What could it be? Was he going to put himself in a box and ship himself so that he could arrive at my door? That would be awesome. And as soon as I had him in my arms, I would love him the way he was supposed to be loved. I sighed. Me and my weird fantasies.

"Rose. Come over here. I need to tell you something." I heard Jade say. Gahh. So she hadn't been asleep. Damn.

I climbed next to her in bed. "Yeah?"

"I think I am pregnant." She said it so seriously—I had no idea what to say. Seconds later, she was laughing. "Ha-ha. April Fool's."

I looked over to the nightstand where the digital clock was. It was exactly midnight. "Crap." I breathed. "Do not do that again. You had me a little freaked out for you."

She laughed a little. "Don't worry. I have no plans of getting pregnant right now. And I haven't had sex once, I don't know how you could get pregnant like that. Unless you found some way to reproduce asexually?"

"What the fuck does that even mean? Don't use these big words when are speaking to me." I sighed. "So when?"

"When what?"

"When are you going to have kids?"

"You asked me this earlier." She sighed, dramatically. "When the time is right. Or maybe sooner. That's all Anthon's been asking for. He says he wants a girl." I stayed silent. "That's all Anthon asks for as a wedding gift. A daughter or son." She smiled. "But I keep on telling him you and I are going to have kids at the same time. That's my crazy dream."

"About that . . . I need a good man in my life so that I could have his kid."

She smiled cheekily. "Don't worry, Adrian is coming back soon." Ah . . . those comments again.

"You seriously love my brother, don't you?"

"Do you love him?" I looked away from her.

"Hold that thought." She stood up. "This time seriously calls for some popcorn time." She sauntered to the kitchen. I heard her going through the cabinets and saying things like, "I seriously need to organize better" and "What am I going to do when I marry Jon if I don't know how to take care of my own house?" Then, I heard some popping which could only be assumed as popcorn popping in the microwave. A few minutes later, she came back with a huge bowl of buttery popcorn. I would to burn off the calories later, for now, I was happy as she made her way, popcorn bowl in her hands. She laid on the bed and shared with me.

"So, back to where I was?" She swallowed a handful of popcorn. Literally. "Do you love my brother? The honest truth."

"I do. I love him so much." It felt so good saying those words to her. I hadn't said I love you in quite a while.

"I can't really see your face right now because it's really dark and the moon isn't shinning as much, but I can feel that what you said is true. And I am happy." She sighed. "Adrian has always been a sufferer. You make think otherwise, but he always had this secret within him. He said he always saw thing . . . that he saw this girl. And that kind of ruined his childhood. But now I realize that those things he saw were the visions." She laughed. "Poor Adrian, everyone thought he was crazy." She laughed, harder this time.

"He told you about those visions? And the visions are pretty awesome."

"Wait . . . you see them too?" She was shocked and she turned her face towards me, but I couldn't see if she was looking at me.

"Yes. The best vision was of me lying on the sun, debating on whether Adrian loved me or not."

"It's not like that isn't obvious. Adrian loves you. Whatever made you think that he didn't?" I sensed her roll her eyes. "Oh, right. Amber. That damn slut. If I ever see her again, I will kill her. No joke. By the way, you have to meet my cousin Seth. He is awesome. He is married to a dhampir and he and her love each other to death. They have three kids. He'll tell you about the good times he's had with his wife. She's pretty awesome too, though she is a little intimidated by us royals. I don't know why she is though. She is married to Seth, not us."

"Where does Seth live?"

"Where Adrian is at the moment . . . Spain. Have you ever noticed? Spaniards are very sexy!"

"Jade, how can you think about other men when you are getting married to a sexy guy?"

"Hey, I'm his fiancé. Don't go out talking shit about my man." She sounded jealous. She probably thought I was going to steal her man. "Don't be jealous. You know I love your brother, very much, I might say."

She didn't say anything for a while. "I'm going to tell you my dream, so be all ears." She took in a breath and let it out. "I want to marry Jon, that's happening very soon and I am very happy. I want you to be my bridesmaid. That's also happening. I want Adrian and you to be together. I want, on the day of my wedding day, I want you and Adrian to tell the world the good news that you two are getting married. And I want you and I to get pregnant at the same time so our babies can grow up together."

She was quiet for a while. "Sorry. And yes I know I am weird. Heard it plenty of times from Adrian."

"That's exactly what I want. Well, the first three sentences no, but the rest of what you said, I want to happen. I want to marry Adrian and make him a proud daddy."

She sat up and looked down at me. "So do that, Rose. Don't waste anymore time. Tell him you love him. Tell him you need him. Tell him you want to spend the rest of your life with him!" I could hear her getting excited. "Do it! So I can plan your wedding! And I could finally see my brother happy once and for all. You know. He is the only single one from our family. He is getting old and needs to settle down soon."

"That's exactly what I plan to do. If he lets me, that is."

"Adrian loves you and would do anything to make you happy." And that was true. He always made me happy, no matter what it cost. I am pretty sure he would give his heart for me, even if it cost him his life.

"He'll let you, don't worry. I talked to him as you slept. It was me that convinced him to dream walk on you." She stood up. "Well, I'm going to let you sleep. We have a big day tomorrow, you'll see."

The next morning, I was pumped up for the day. It was probably due to the fact that I had slept like ten hours. Just then, Jade knocked on the door. "Hello! Finally you wake up! You overslept. Now we have only three hours to get ready!" She was in a white bathrobe and tossed one at me. "Take a shower quick and I want you downstairs in twenty minutes!"

"Ready for what?"

"Lissa's orders: Can't tell you, till we get there." With that, she left the room. I did as she ordered. I took a quick shower. Good thing I had shaved yesterday or that would have been a waste of time. I slipped on some underwear and a bra and the put on the robe and met her downstairs, not a second late.

There was a setup downstairs. Like ten people gathered in the living room, when they saw me, they moved into action. They had suitcases filled with makeup, jewelry, and a lot of other shit. There was a rack filled with pretty gowns. What was up with that?

I sat down where a blonde lady ordered me to sit. She went to work immediately, blow drying my hair first. Another lady came up to me and started doing my make-up. I felt like I was getting ready for my wedding or something like that. Did Jade decide to boost up the date of her wedding? Not likely. She wasn't freaking out or anything like that. No reason for me to freak out. I didn't get to see anything else because the lady told me to close my eyes as she was applying eye shadow. After a few minutes, she dabbed mascara and lip gloss.

"You have some beautiful highlights." The blonde lady commented. "Thank you. The future, annoying sister-in-law suggested me get them."

"I am not annoying." Jade said next to me. "You'll love me by the end of the day."

"Hopefully . . ."

The blonde lady said she was done with my hair and I needed to slip into my dress. As soon as I saw the dress, I loved it. Absolutely loved it. The color of the dress was a dark purple, that kind of looked blue in the darker parts of the house, I observed. It had a sweetheart neckline and the dress hugged me all the way to my upper thighs. A slit on all the way from my thigh all the way to my feet. And it had an awesome beaded waistline. I looked very awesome. My hair was left down, parted to the side with small waves.

"Damn, Rose. I am glad my brother isn't here because he wouldn't have liked all the men's' eyes on you."

"Thank you. You look quite gorgeous yourself."

She smiled. "I know." She was wearing a white dress, that was backless, curve fitting, and had a slit on the side like my dress had. Her dress was a sweetheart neckline, as well, but it had a one shoulder thing going on. She had this weird pattern going on the side that exposed her right side. She looked real pretty. "Good thing my fiancé isn't going because he wouldn't have liked men staring at me."

I chuckled. "Well, it's good that we are going to be guy-less tonight."

But I didn't want to be guy-less tonight when I looked so hot.

"Let's go meet, Lissa." Lissa was already waiting at the lobby of where Jade lived. Lissa was wearing a gray halter dress that went all the way down to her toes. Her hair was in a loose bun. "Wow, Rose. You look pretty sexy."

"Where are we going?" I was getting a little crazy because I didn't know where she was taking me.

She put her hand in mine. "We're going to the Royal Gala."

"The what?!" I struggled against her and Jade as they dragged me to where two men dressed in suits waited at a fancy door.

"The Gala." Lissa repeated. "Don't ask questions." She said when she saw that my mouth was open for a bombard of questions. I remained silent. Jade gave me an evil smile. I went with them, unwillingly. The Royal Gala was basically everyone dressed in real fancy clothes and the woman showed off dresses of the best designers. According to Jade, I was wearing a dress made by Dorothy Perkins or something like that. Jade and Lissa wandered off, probably greeting their relatives, while I wondered off. I ended up on a balcony that pretty much all you saw from the view was nothing. Perks of living in the middle of nowhere. To my surprise, there was a man there already. He looked really familiar. Well, his eyes and hair . . . they looked familiar. . . .

"Are you Rose Hathaway?" He asked, squinting his eyes a little to get a better view.

"Yes," I said, checking the older man out. "And you are?"

He smiled. "I am Abe Mazur." I nodded, but did not have one clue who this guy was.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked, wondering why he was staring at me.

"He wanted me to give you a message."

"Who?"

"Adrian Ivashkov, I presume you know him." He reached into his pocket and pulled out an awesome phone that only rich people could afford. He pressed something on his phone and a recorded message was all you heard. It was a message from Adrian. It was something about . . . surprise . . . tonight.

"Thank you," I said, getting nervous about what it could be.

"No problem," he walked up to me. "Nice to meet you, Rose Hathaway, you are as lovely as Adrian described you." He hugged me and then he said, "And you are as gorgeous as your mother Janine."

What was that all about? Just then, Lissa and Jade burst in through the doors. Jade seemed really excited and Lissa looked quite the same. "Ready to go?" She asked.

"Yeah. This party sucks anyway."

Lissa smiled. "Yes, it does."

"Let's go have a girls night out in town." Jade suggested.

"Agreed" both Lissa and I said.

"The airport?" I asked as soon as Jade parked the car on the curb.

Jade looked at me like I was stupid. "Yes, didn't I mention I had to pick up my sister?"

"Uh . . . no." Alright then, cool off. Before you know it, we'll be out of here. Jade, Lissa, and I decided to get off the car to enjoy the chilly night. I felt good on our skin. The passengers looked at us, well, they looked at me, the way I was dressed. Not perfect attire for a trip to the airport. It was as I waited with Lissa and Jade, that my phone rang. I couldn't say anything before he was speaking.

"Look behind you," someone said from the other side of the phone.

I did look behind me, but I wasn't interested in the person that was directly behind me. I looked farther behind the person in back of me and I wanted to die of happiness. I couldn't believe it. After two years, he was right here. I fell that much more in love with him. I dropped my phone and began to run, run towards the him that I loved.

Aww…who do you think it is? Dimitri or Adrian? Muhaha . . . you'll see soon.
