Epilogue

Happy, Happy Birthday

"Exactly where are you going on my birthday?" Sharpay questioned her parents, as they stood in the hallway. They were getting their coats on, while she was standing on the bottom step of the stairs, a slight pout on her lips, "How can you just leave me here? I'm turning seventeen!"

"It's six o'clock, Sharpay dear." Viola said, and chuckled of her daughter's silly actions, "We've already been with you all day long. And forgive me but… I thought that maybe you and Troy wanted to be alone for the evening?" she raised her eyebrow suggestively.

"Mom!" Sharpay said, not believing that her mother would suggest such thing (even if it was kind of true). It was just too weird for her to know that her parents let her have sex with her boyfriend with no doubts. It was as if they wanted her to have sex with her boyfriend. "Stop saying such things. And just leave, okay? Ryan and Tobias are upstairs to celebrate Ryan, and Troy will be here in a second." She paused, "Now, buh-bye!"

Richard laughed at his oldest daughter and turned to his wife, "I think she wants us out, Vi. Is this such a good idea?"

"It's an awesome idea, Dad, goodbye." Sharpay continued, and almost pushed him out of the door, "Now, have fun with Lucy and Jack, and tell Tessa and Ashlee not to be too hard on T." she then stopped and reached up to kiss him on the cheek, "I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow." She finished.

Viola gave her a small hug, "Yeah, we love you honey." She said, before the two grown-ups turned to cross the lawn to go get Lucy and Jack. Sharpay chuckled to herself and turned to go inside. She closed the door behind her and checked her watch. Troy would be there in a second; he was probably just saying goodbye to their parents too. She believed she could just go upstairs and see what her brother and his boyfriend were doing.

She stumbled up the staircase in a happy mood. She just turned seventeen and she was going to spend the night with her boyfriend. She had no idea what they would be doing, but he was Troy and they always figured something to do. She stopped in front of his door and softly tapped it, having sense enough to not walk right in.

"Come in!" she heard Ryan through the closed door and she immediately went inside, smiling at the two boys.

"Hey!" she told them, "Mother and Daddy just left. Troy will be here in a second." She paused, "Should we just agree now that we won't disturb each other the entire evening?" she wasn't thinking that way, but she also didn't want to walk in on the two boys in the middle of something, like she also didn't want them to walk in on her and Troy if they were doing anything.

Ryan chuckled, "Agreed." He smiled, reaching a hand out to grab Tobias'. Sharpay wouldn't want to be thinking about what they were doing before she walked in there. "Anyway," he continued, "what will you and Troy be doing?"

"First off, I think we're eating soon, 'cuz I'm kinda hungry. Just a bit!" Sharpay laughed, and she was just about to ask them what they would be doing first, but was interrupted by two hands around her waist.

"I'm hungry too!" Troy whispered in her ear, but then added, just for the kick of it, "Just a bit…"

Sharpay giggled and turned around, placing a short kiss on his lips, "Hey there!" she greeted, completely ignoring the fact that her brother was watching them.

"Happy birthday." Troy chuckled and looked her deeply in the eyes. Even if they had been together for awhile now, he still wasn't quite used to all this. He loved being intimate with her. He loved their kisses and their touches. And he loved her so much. He was just happy to have all this and he was living each moment to the fullest. He had been looking so forward to this day.

Someone cleared their throat behind Sharpay so he glanced beside her and realized that Ryan was sitting there as well, and that Sharpay wasn't the only twin who had a birthday today, "Happy birthday to you too, Ryan!" he added, which caused Ryan to break out in a happy smile.

"Let's go downstairs." Sharpay mumbled and grabbed his hand tightly. She waved to the two guys softly before closing the door to Ryan's room. She tightened her grip on Troy's hand and dragged him with her down the stairs, "I've missed you." she whispered, resting her head on his shoulder.

Troy smiled, "I've missed you too." He said. And even if they only saw each other yesterday, that was still true. He did miss her – he missed her all the time when he wasn't with her, "So…" he said, when they came into the kitchen and Sharpay went to look in the fridge, and he jumped onto a table, "what do we have to eat in this house?"

"Mhm," Sharpay said and glanced at all the shelves in the fridge – there was not much, "I'm searching and searching, but… I cannot seem to find anything particularly tasty." She turned her head to him and raised one eyebrow in the way she knew always made him laugh, "So much for a birthday dinner."

Troy chuckled, "How about we make Mac 'n' Cheese?" he suggested her, "We do rock that meal, don't we?"

"Haha, yeah." Sharpay said, and closed the fridge with a bang. She crossed the floor and stopped in front of him, moving in between his legs. She placed her hands on either side of him with a slight smirk, "So where's my present? You know I'm expecting something, right?"

"And I do have something." Troy said, and gave her a sideways grin, "You really anxious for it, or do you wanna wait?"

Sharpay pouted to him, her huge chocolate brown eyes getting even bigger than usual, "I want it now…" she told him, "Can I have now or do I have to wait?"

"You can have it now." he said, somewhat uncertain. This was a huge thing. He had spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do and how to do it correctly, but his mother had convinced him to get it done. She was so sure of their relationship, and he was sure himself, it just… They were still so young, but maybe it would be alright. He was sure Sharpay would love it too. But that didn't make him less nervous, "It's sorta… a big deal for me."

Sharpay looked surprised, "A big deal? What is it, Troy?" she questioned him.

Troy reached into his pocket and grabbed the card first. That one was special too. He had actually spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to write her. He wanted it to be personal and he wanted it to be memorable. He just wanted to do something she would love him for. "This is just the card." He told her.

Sharpay gently took the envelope out of hands and gave him a curious look, a glint in her eye. "I get a card?" she questioned, "How fancy." She added, in a British accent. She giggled lightly ad opened the pink envelope. She then reached into it and got the card out. She gave him another look before she opened it, to find a short message scribbled in Troy's horrible handwriting.

Hey Payday.

Happy seventeenth birthday. I hope I won't be too boring company tonight – I just want you to have a good day. I always do when I'm with you. Do you remember when we went to get ice cream and I slipped and fell and you tried to catch me and ended up straight on top of me? That's what I'm talking about. We always goof off, like when we sing Donald Duck in the school's cafeteria and everybody looks at us as if we're crazy. I love you so much, and I hope you know that, that's why I've got this gift for you. I really hope you like it.

Love always,

Troy.

"Donald Duck…" Sharpay whispered and looked up at him. Her voice was really soft and she looked moved, which meant he had probably done something right in that card, "I love Donald Duck."

"I love Donald Duck too." Troy told her and reached a hand out to stroke her on the cheek, "But not as much as I love you." he then leaned forward and placed a deep kiss on her lips, savouring the taste of her cherry lipgloss. He pulled back, a goofy smile on his face, "And… this is the present." He said and reached into his pocket again, fixing out a small, pink, velvet box.

Sharpay's eyes went wide in surprise as he handed her the small box. She looked up at him again and he motioned for her to open it without saying a word. She opened the box and found a small, simply ring in there, with one pink stone. It wasn't much, but Troy had worked hard to find the perfect ring – something that wasn't too cheap since he knew what Sharpay wanted, but also something he could easily overdo later when he had to.

"What's…" she smiled up at him, a happy glint in her eyes, "What's this for? It's a bit much for just my birthday…"

"Do you like it?" Troy just softly questioned. He couldn't describe how much love he felt for her that moment. If she loved the ring, it would all get so much better, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to comprehend that. He had no idea how he could have ever lived without dating her. Luckily for him he had always had her with him, just as only friends.

She giggled, "I love it, silly." She told him, and kissed him quickly, "It's amazing, I'm gonna wear it all the time… But still…" she glanced at it quickly, but then back at him, "What's it really for?"

"Sharpay," Troy said, getting ready to tell her everything he had planned. He just hoped he wouldn't screw up, "I love you so much. I wanna marry you someday. I know everyone says that you don't know what you want in high school. But my parents met in high school, and they're so happy. I've known you forever, and I know that I want you." he paused, to look her deeply in the eyes, "This is not a proposal, we're still too young. We need to grow together and we need to finish our educations. But… This ring, if you accept it, is just… a promise from me to you. Sorta."

"A promise?" she questioned, clearly moved by what he was saying, which he took as a good sign. She looked just about ready to cry. Not that he wanted her to, but as long as it was tears of happiness, he could deal with it.

"Yeah, a promise." Troy chuckled and took the ring out of the box, looking at it as he swirled it between his fingers, "A lot of people do this promise ring thingy, but… I'm not like a lot of people. I don't want this to be something that people do, because we're different, I just… I want you to have a beautiful ring, and then I want you to keep in mind that it can easily, in a few years, be turned into something else…"

Sharpay nodded slowly and locked eyes with him, "So you really want to marry me?" she asked him.

"Mhm," Troy chuckled, teasing her by placing the ring right by the tip of her finger, "I really do. But… This ring, it's for you. And… And you can have it, if you really do want to marry me too." He paused, before quickly adding, "Someday."

"I do not need a ring to promise you that." Sharpay whispered, her voice was soft. She couldn't believe this. Everything he was saying. It was so confusing, but she loved every minute of it. She was sort of happy this wasn't one of those traditional promise things, even if it reminded her a lot of it. She knew though, that she would get the ring no matter if she said yes or no. Not that she would ever dream of telling him no – she loved him too much, "I love you, Troy. And I do want to marry you someday. With or without the ring."

"Oh," he said, a small smile coming to his lips, "I'll just take the ring back then." He teased her, and was about to move his hands, when her fingers locked around her wrist.

"But no!" she pouted to him, those big eyes pleading with him, because she knew they got to him every time, "I still want to ring, Troysie…"

Troy laughed, "Oh yeah, how could I be so stupid?" he dumbly questioned her, and then slipped the ring onto her finger. "I love you Sharpay Evans."

"I love you too." She whispered and tip-toed up, kissing him gently on the lips several times, before he caught her arms and kept her there, deepening the kiss. She smiled into his mouth and moved her hands with the new sparkling ring to the nape of his neck, letting her tongue break through his lips.

They pulled back a couple of minutes later, both breathing hard, "Weren't we hungry?" Troy asked her, a goofy grin across his face.

She giggled, "Yeah, how about that Mac 'n' Cheese, eh?"

"Yeah." Troy said and jumped off of the table to fix it out of the cupboard. He knew where everything was, he had always known where it was. And he was the one who would cook it anyway; Sharpay had never been the best one in a kitchen. If she was going to cook dinner, they'd probably just end up eating coco pops.

"Troy?" Sharpay questioned, as he found everything he needed, and started getting it together on the stove, "Do you remember our deal?"

Troy turned to look at her, "Deal?"

"Yeah…" she said, and now it was her turn to sit on the table, "The deal we made before we started high school? Don't you remember? About us sleeping together at Prom?"

"Oh yeah!" Troy laughed, as he remembered the last time he had thought of that. It was back when Sharpay had just told him she had slept with Zeke for the first time. He remembered he had been so sad about that – he had always wanted his first time to be with her. And eventually it had been, which was great. But now there really was no promise, they weren't virgins anymore, "We were so silly… I guess we should just forget about that now? We've already slept together."

"Sure we have," she teased him, but then crooked her eyebrow suggestively, "but that doesn't mean we can't sleep together at Prom anyway." She told him, and then stuck her tongue out at him.

"You know what…" Troy said, and turned around to look at her fully, "I think you've just got yourself a deal there, missy."

"Awesome." She told him, but then turned all serious, "Now, cook me food."

Troy nodded formally, "Shall do, Miss."

She giggled and watched him as he started to work. It was all good. So far this was the best birthday she had ever had. It didn't matter that her parents weren't there; that they were out with their best friends and she was alone with her boyfriend. In fact, it was very cool that she was alone with her boyfriend, because this was the most fun she had had in a long time – Troy always managed to bring the best out of every situation.

She watched him work for a few minutes as he got into it. He had this weird obsession with Mac 'n' Cheese. It had to be cooked perfectly, there was no exceptions. She didn't know what it was with him, but it was alright. She loved his food anyway. It tasted good whether he was just heating up Mac 'n' Cheese or creating something of his own.

When the food was done he took the pot off of the stove and scooped something up for the both of them in two bowls. He handed her one and got two spoons out of the drawer, placing one in each bowl.

"I hope you enjoy your birthday dinner, Miss Sharpay Karen Evans." Troy said and he tasted his – it was okay.

Sharpay took a spoonful too, "I know I will. You made it for me, didn't you?" she mumbled, while she chewed, taking in the familiar taste.

"Oh yeah." Troy just mumbled, when suddenly, he remembered something. He remembered another time the two of them had been in this kitchen together. They had been making Mac 'n' Cheese there too, while Ryan had been casually eating an apple. Troy couldn't help but chuckle aloud, and turned to Sharpay, "Do you remember the last time we were making Mac 'n' Cheese?" he questioned.

"Yeah…" Sharpay said, a light smile getting on her lips. It seemed like she was remembering too.

"Remember that you hit Ryan on the hand and his apple sorta… Sorta flew out of it and landed on the floor?" Troy continued.

"Mhm…" Sharpay nodded, licking her lips gently, to get rid of every trace of Mac 'n' Cheese on them.

Troy smirked, "And then he, y'know, told you to lick it up?" he tried.

Sharpay bit her lip, "Aha…"

"And he left, and you wanted me to do it, but of course I didn't want to, so we let it be, and you started talking about kitchen sex and how you wanted to have that one day?"

"Now you lost me."

Troy hit her softly on her thigh, "Oh, you do so remember!" he told her, eyes wide, "You wanted to, and you kinda winked at me, and said 'who said anything about Zeke?'…" he winked at her this time, "How about we do this… without Zeke in the picture?"

"Nah, I'm not really up for it."

Troy placed his bowl on the table and took a step closer to her, a wide grin on his lips, "Are you sure about that?" he asked, "Because you did sound very serious back when we talked about it the last time. I remember… I remember that I was thinking, 'I have to show her how it's really done one day'."

"Oh, so you were thinking that?" Sharpay teasingly whispered as their faces got closer together, their breaths mixing between them.

Troy swallowed, "Yeah…" he said.

Sharpay giggled as she placed a short kiss on his lip and placed her bowl next to her, "We have to do something about that, don't we?" she kissed him again, and pulled him even closer, placing her hands in his back pockets.

Troy nodded, a huge smile coming across his face, by just the thought of it. "So where would the lady fancy it? I wouldn't think the stove's too comfortable, but how about the counter? I think I can hoist you onto it." he smirked at her, a glint in his blue eyes.

"Oh yeah…" Sharpay whispered, and locked lips with him. She then slowly slid off of the kitchen table, locking her legs around him, so he was carrying her entire weight. He stumbled for a second to get a better hold on her, so he was sure he wouldn't drop her or something, but then turned around and took the few steps to the counter. He got her onto it, and followed closely after, until they were both lying on the counter, Sharpay sprawled beneath him.

"So that's how it's done, I want you to remember that." Troy said, and looked down at her. Her hair was all over the place, but she looked so beautiful.

"Yeah…" she whispered, and reached a finger out, tracing his bottom lip, "I know that Zeke could have never done that. He's way too weak. Haha!"

Troy shook his head, but loved the compliment, even if he knew it wasn't true. Zeke was much stronger than him, but it was still nice to hear she was so confident in him, "So now I've got you on the counter – in the kitchen –" he added and she giggled, "what do I do? What was in your vision?"

Sharpay pretended to think about it for a few seconds as she bit her lip in wonderment. But the she looked up at him beneath her long eyelashes and offered him a caring smile, "I just say… go at it, tiger."

She didn't need to tell him that twice. He chuckled and bent down to kiss her again, his hands going up beneath her short, blue summer dress. He stroked her thighs as they kept on kissing, and her hands pushed his jacket off, and then went to work on the buttons of his jeans.

He trailed his kisses down her chin and her neck, until they reached the start of her dress. He reached up and roughly brushed it to the side, hoping to get more skin out in the open. When he was happy with the amount of skin showing, he kissed her there again and again, loving the sound of her soft giggles beneath him, as her hand went into his jeans and teased him like she always did.

"No, no…" he grumbled and stopped his kisses, so her could look her in the eye, "That's not fair, Sharpay."

She giggled again and licked her lips, "Oh, but I think it is…" she just told him, and then leaned up to catch his lips in another kiss. He kissed her back with as much eager as she kissed him, but they didn't get to kiss for very long because a loud shriek was heard, and the two broke apart, to find Ryan in the doorway, a hand on his heart.

"Ryan!" Sharpay exclaimed, and immediately pushed Troy off, and covered her chest, while Troy fumbled with his jeans, "I thought we agreed to stay out of each other's business!" she rolled her eyes at him, "This was exactly what I didn't want to have happen!"

"I'm sorry!" poor Ryan said and slowly went past them and to the fridge, "But we were hungry. I didn't actually think you'd go at it in the kitchen." He defended himself, as he opened the fridge and grabbed some fruits – apples, Troy noticed, and had to hide his smile – and two water bottles, "I'm going now anyway, just… clean off the table, please."

Sharpay made a face when he passed them again, and as soon as he was out of there, she jumped down from the counter, and fixed her appearance completely, so she looked like before, "We should probably wait with the kitchen sex until we've got our own place someday, huh?" she whispered, and stepped closer to him, a small smile on her lips.

"I'll hold you on that idea." Troy whispered back. He placed a short kiss on her lips, before he grabbed his jacket and took it on, "What do you say we go upstairs and continue this there instead?" he suggested.

Sharpay bit her lip, "Mhm," she said, and took a step back from him, "I think that's a good idea…" She said, and then turned around completely and rushed out of there, before he had a chance to realize what she was doing, "…if you can catch me!" she yelled at him, and there she was already by the stairs.

He suddenly realized what she was doing and hurried after her with laughter playing in his voice as he called her name, but she had a huge advance. She was so small and she was way ahead of him. He ran up the stairs as quickly as he could, and hurried down the hallway and towards her room. Since this was a straight hallway, he caught up to her, and almost slipped when he turned the corner to her room. He managed to grab her by the waist when he entered, and they both flew to her bed, landing in heap of hair and limbs.

Sharpay giggled wildly and turned around to press a chaste kiss to his lips, "Mhm, you almost didn't catch me, but it's good enough."

Troy chuckled and took in a deep breath. It was hard to run and laugh at the same time, so he was a little out of breath. Sharpay rolled over, so she was lying on top of him, and traced her hands down his stomach, pushing his t-shirt up, to reveal his underwear.

"Oh!" she said, and smiled up at him, "You're wearing the boxers I bought for you right when Tessa was in the hospital."

Troy looked down and realized she was right. He was wearing those Fairly Odd Parents boxers she had bought for him back then. It's funny how things work out. "Yeah… they're kinda nice." He whispered.

Sharpay giggled and rested her head on his stomach, as their breathing got calmer, and he let his hand wander into her hair, brushing through it gently. She let out a huge content sigh and closed her eyes, while he did the same, thinking that things just couldn't be better.

He knew they had both screwed up in the past, and that this ride had been a long and painful one, but it was all worth it. He knew he had made huge mistakes, but he was grateful for the fact that Sharpay had forgiven him and that they were good now. Sometimes he still couldn't believe that he actually got the girl. He got the girl he had wanted, and sure, their relationship was far from perfect, but they were them. They were Troy and Sharpay and he wouldn't have it any other way. She was just… She was just an amazing person, and he hoped that he'd never have to lose her. He hoped that they could make it through anything. They just had to, because-

"You're doing it now, Troy!" Sharpay interrupted him, as she lifted herself onto her elbows and looked down at him, "You're doing that thing with your breath again!"

"It's because I'm thinking!" Troy defended himself, but couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't count how many times they had had this conversation. It was a lot. And yet still… She didn't give up, she kept on fighting this battle, and he never got tired of hearing it.

She offered him a pouty look, "What were you thinking about?"

"You." he quickly said and gazed right into her big eyes, "I love you."

"I hate you too." Sharpay teased him, a grin plastered across her beautiful face.

Troy sighed, "Shut up and kiss me." he demanded, hoping that she would. He had no idea where they would be in the future; what lay ahead of them. But all he knew was that they loved each other, and that was good enough. If this was love, then he hoped everyone would experience it in their lives. If it wasn't love, then he was happy with the way things were. Maybe it was just a lot like love. Love seemed so final.

"I will." Sharpay smirked, and leaned in. She smacked him on the side of the head instead, and burst out laughing.

Oh yeah, it definitely was a lot like love.

Troy laughed too and rolled them over, immediately going for her tickly spot.


Oh my God. I have no idea what to write to you guys now. Was this… was this really the final chapter? It was! I can't believe it's like… over now. Goooosh, I've loved writing this fic. You guys have been the most awesome reviewers. You've helped me make this my most successful story so far (: I'll thank you all for sticking with me through this fic. It became way too long, and yet you still kept on reading. I'm very grateful.

And then I had huge difficulties about where to go with this story. I was contemplating about the ending. Did I want to get Troy and Sharpay together? For a long while I was going to keep them apart since what Troy had done was so unforgivable (I still believe it is, which makes this story a bit unrealistic), but people convinced me to get them together, so I hope the ending I typed out was good enough for everyone (:

I hope you enjoyed this last chapter. I did my best to just make if fluffy and Troypay-ish and I tried to bring things back together to make it feel like it really was the end. I hope I made it feel that way?

Thank you for the awesome reviews from last chapter. But I'm gonna ask you… for the last time (in this fic anyway); will you leave me a review? It's the last chapter! Please tell me what you thought of it. It'd mean a lot to me.

Dedication; All of you guys! You've been amazing through this. I'm thanking you for all the kind words you've written me through reviews and for giving me great ideas and for correcting my mistakes. Thank you.

Disclaimer; I don't own HSM.

Review replies (these are the last ones);

XxXxIcePrincessXxXx; Aw, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks a lot for reading and everything.

Bribra; Mhm, I'm not sure if I have any ideas… Those few I have, I plan on writing on my own. And thank you for the kind words and for the birthday wishes. I hope you got my PM. If you need help again, just PM me back :D

reader91; I'm glad you liked the way I got them together. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter too. I wrote a lot of Troypay action (:

-i'm headstrong-; I'm glad you liked it. I hope this chapter was for your liking too?

CreeksideLovesZashley; Happy you liked it. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

plasticlittlespastic; Yeah, I did use Kate (; She's awesome. Hah xD And yup, I was thinking 'finally!' too, when I finally got to write the scene where they got together.

Courtney; I'm glad you like it. It's reviews like yours that really make me smile. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter too, and be sure to let me know what you think of it, please? (:

LucyLicious xx; Yeah, it was kinda sad that Grandma Bolton died, but luckily we didn't get to know her all that good. And it was good that at least she got Sharpay and Troy to get together before she passed away. She would probably have loved to see it, though. Thank you SO much for reviewing through this entire thing.

Zashleyrocks and Zanessa sucks; Hah, yeah, I did turn seventeen. And thank you for the birthday wishes :b Hehe. I hope this chapter was good. Thanks for reading.

xJamey; To answer you question, even if you already figured it out – this was the last chapter. I surely hope you enjoyed it. I kinda didn't want it to end either, but I also did. I have been writing on this for so long now, and I really need to start something new. It's too boring to keep writing on the same stuff over and over. Haha. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Clotisy; Heeey ficcie-star xD Remember when you were in my fic, haha? And yeah, I know! Lucy was so bad with her camera, but at least Troy and Sharpay got all the moments they wanted in this chapter (except for Ryan! – the evil twin. Haha). And you're right. Victims of Love does suit Troypay.

mrshottieefron; I'm glad you thought so. I hope this chapter was good too.

cutiepink928; I'm glad you think so. And a lot of my readers used the word 'finally' in the reviews from last chapter. I guess I do have been holding out for too long. Anyway. Thanks for reading.

nrisley19892007; I'm glad you liked! I thanks for reviewing. All the times! (:

Going2Alaska; Aw, that was your favourite chapter? I sorta liked it too. It was good to finally be able to type that moment out.

HeSaidSheSaidx; Yeah, you're right… Gabriella actually has done a lot for Troy and Sharpay in this story. That's kinda nice, don't you think so? Usually she's only there to ruin things for them ;b And I know what you mean about picture-taking. My Grandma does that all the time. And she takes like twenty for one pose. She gets us to sit and smile this and that way, and then her camera is ages about finally taking the picture. But I let her… she just wants memories. Haha xD I hope you also liked the update for When You Love Someone – I hope to get that one finished soon .

Kelly; Haha, you had too much sugar too? I do that a lot. Haha (: I'm glad you liked it.

U.S. Princess; Yay! I agree with you. That's kinda nice. Thank you so much for sticking with me through this incredibly long fic.

OoIce QueenoO; Hah, I'm glad someone agrees with me. I found last chapter bad too. Haha. Well, you said it was still good, so I believe you. But you're right – it was very different from my usual ones. I have no idea why; sometime that just happens. xD I'm glad you liked the Zekella I somewhat implied in this story. Thanks for reading.

k; Yeah (: thank God.

EvaporateTallPerson; I'm glad you're that happy. I felt like it was finally time to get them to hook up. Hehe. Thanks for reviewing.

BeneathTheSurface; Thank you, thank you (: I'm glad you liked it. Now… Not to be pushy, but when will you update your newest ficcie? I'm just… I just love it ;b

BrookieCookie490; Thank you for the review and I'm glad you liked it. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter too.

purdyinpink11; Haha, cutest chapter ever? I'm glad you think so! I did try to make it a bit fluffy. Haha. Like I also tried to do with this chapter. Thank you for reading.

katasticx33; Aw, you really think so? Thank you! I dunno if I'll be a writer, but maybe. My teacher told me to go for it too. He like… loves everything I hand in. Hah xD And mhm, maybe if I'm a writer, someday I'll type this out with different characters and try to get it published. Hehe. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I hope this last chapter was good too.

DanceDORK; I see a good future for them too. Unfortunately, I won't be one to write that. I'll let them have that, themselves. Hehe. Thanks for reading.

Bethanyyy!!; Hah, I had an alright birthday, thank you. And it's okay with the reviewing. I do miss talking to you, though. Once we both get time, we really need to update, don't we? I love you sweetie. And I hope you liked the ending to this. I wanted to show it to you before I posted it, but we never seemed to be online on the same time (:

PshYeah; Ah, it's okay with that one-shot. I'll survive, even if I know I would've loved it. I know how exams are… Luckily I don't have that many this year, and so far, I haven't had to study. But I will… I've got Spanish on Wednesday and Thursday, but ah… It's only a yearly test, so it doesn't really count. I want to do good though. Hehe. I love you so much, and I hope we speak soon.

PenniaIsNowVeryHAPPY; Ahh, haha. Maybe I will be on Beffy's forum. I don't know though. Hehe. Thank you for reviewing. I hope everything's good with you? Mhm?

HelloLish; I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for reviewing. (:
