"Wow Eclipse… really outdid yourself." I said to myself as I walked through a new part of the temple. An open doorway leads out to an open terrace sort of place. Only it stretched down to the other side of the temple, and to another doorway. The night air was refreshing, as a cool and gentle breeze carried the smell of the beach, and the noises of the forest.

"There you are." A voice said and I looked down to the doorway where I saw Finitevus walk out from. He had been locked up in his lab all morning. Not working but healing. And to my somewhat surprise, he had a cape wrapped around him again.

"Feeling exposed without your cape, batman?" Finitevus gave me such a confused look it that I started to laugh and said "Never mind… it was joke that you wouldn't get." Finitevus walked over and stood next to me overlooking the land and said "Well, yes. I only have the capes for protection against the sun."

"Yah, I know albino's hate the sun." I said leaning on the semi wall that was the thing keeping us from falling off the edge. I looked him over and said "That's…not your usual cape." He shook his head no and said "No, mine is torn, old and stained with your blood."

"My bad…" His new cape was just solid black. And the end of it was not torn up like his other. I tapped my hand against the wall and said "How are you feeling? You should lie down if your chest starts to hurt again." All he did in reply was pull back one side of the cape to show me a brace like cast around his chest. I also noticed the inside of his cape was not dark brown like his other, but striped black and white with horizontal lines.

"Ooooh, okay. I see why you have a new cape now." I said with a little laugh. He folded his arms on the top of the open wall and leaned on it and asked "How are the little ones?"

"A handful as ever. But they are both my adorable little…um…kits?" I said with a shrug and Finitevus opened a small warp ring and pull out two things and said "Kit and Puggle." He closed the warp ring and pulled a coffee cup up to him and started to sip from it.

"Puggle?"

"A baby echidna."

"Ohh…" Was all I could say and then he added "Well, I am not sure if arrow would be classified as a full-blooded echidna. After all, Echidnas are born from eggs." I stared at Finitevus like he was crazy-errr… well like he was crazier… and after a moment I echoed "Echidnas… born from eggs?"

"Yup. For instance. Locke, Knuckles father toyed with his genes and preformed chaos experiments on Knuckles when he was still an egg. That is what gave him his abilities to the Master Emerald." Finitevus said taking another sip of his drink.

"Sooo…" I started and then a sly smile appeared on my muzzle and I asked "What did your egg look like?" Finitevus nearly choked on his drink and after a few coughs said "None of your business."

"Was it white? With a little squiggly-doo on it?" I asked a joking tone and he asked "A… squiggly-doo? Child you are strange…" I laughed and said "I mean your little diamond mark… sorry I have no clue what to call it."

"Diamond mark is just fine." Finitevus said in a slightly annoyed tone which made me laugh harder. He sighed and said "Just drop the subject. You don't find me asking you of your days as a new born." I huffed and said "I was quite cute when I was little, you can ask my mother that thank you!" I heard him chuckle and then it became silent. We stood there for a while, overlooking the area around. After what seemed a while, I turned to head inside.

"Celty wait." Finitevus called and I glanced back to see him looking over at me, and that he was holding something in his hand. I turned back and he held out it to me. I looked down and picked it up. It was the paper from last night. The one that fell out of his book.

"What's this?"

"Ten things." He said and I echoed "Ten things?" He looked away and said "Remember when I came into your room one night, and had placed your journal on your desk? I know you saw me. Because I remember seeing you wide awake. Even if I didn't show that I knew."

I remembered. Around the time R'n'R stayed with us. When I still shared a room with Rosy. (Happened in Under the Faraway Sky if you want to check. Chapter: Midnight) "That's a page from it I kept." He said.

"Page 27 huh?" I said quietly and then asked "Why did you keep this?"

"Open it, and find out."

So I did. I unfolded the paper several times until I opened it up fully and read what was on the page. The title was 'Ten Things'. And I felt my heart slightly sink.

"Ten things… this was a list of things I never have here on Mobius." I said softly and Finitevus was quiet for a moment and said "What does the first thing say? One to ten." He knew what it said, I could tell but I just didn't understand why he wanted me to read it.

"Things I will never have because of that damned Warp ring." I read out loud from the top line. I avoided the look of Finitevus and continued.

"One, All my friends are gone. I doubt I will ever see them again, or have any at all." I read and Finitevus made it look like he was thinking but he casually said "Why, I do believe you do have friends. There's the green idiot, the mental frog and the other lynx. And ah yes, that girl from Angel Island. Not to mention Rosy."

"Okay, so maybe I was a little over exaggerated with this list." I said starting to crumple the paper but he sharply said "Continue." I rolled my eyes and did just that.

"Two, my family is gone. I do not know if I will ever see them again."

"Your mother and sister are watching TV in our home right as we speak." Finitevus said and he then said "I have worked very hard, and tried my best to make sure there is not one thing on that list you don't have. Now, continue."

I felt myself blush but I did as he said and continued by saying "Three, I don't have nice things anymore. All of it is gone." Finitevus shrugged and said "Well if you don't find a room filled with gold that can buy you whatever you want nice things, well then I don't know what is."

I smiled and "Four, I won't have a nice home to live in." Before Finitevus could say something I said "I already have the best home possible. The Temple of Arorua." Finitevus smiled at me and then I looked back down at the paper.

"Five, I won't have the adventures of growing up." Finitevus sighed and said "Now, I am sure fighting the Dark Legion and being roboticized, twice isn't what you meant by 'adventures', but it's the best we got." I let out a small laugh.

"Six, I won't have someone to turn to when I need them most." After I spoke there was a moment of silence and I then shrugged and said "Well, I got Eclipse."

"And I'm here…" He said and I smiled and leaned on his shoulder. He opened up his cape and wrapped it around me. I smiled bigger and then as I started to read the next, I felt my smile start to fade.

"Seven, I can never tell anyone who Kate Alicade is."

"While I already know, I wouldn't recommend telling the whole world." Finitevus said and I sighed. I then said "I could have gone without anyone knowing, but it also feels good to know that it changes nothing between us." He nodded and then I looked back down at the paper.

"Eight, I can never tell anyone about the comics…" I gasped and shut my mouth but it was too late, the words were already out and he heard them.

"Comics huh? When I first read that my suspension was focused to where I thought you had a stash of comics hidden somewhere, but… I know. So, apparently I'm 'drawings and words on paper'?" I stared at him and then slowly realized.

"You, you where the person listening to me and Dimitri!" I said in shock and Finitevus slowly nodded and said "I don't know if I believe you or not. But it would explain how you knew so much on me the first time we met…as I recall, you lied and said you were an Information Broker, and you still are… but you also said you were my…fan…"

"Hey I wasn't lying about that part." I said and then sighed and added "I don't know I was just confused and scared that you were going to hurt me or something." Finitevus rubbed my side and said "I will never harm you again. I still haven't forgiven myself for that Angel Island incident."

"Oh, yah… Finerjak." I commented and he gave me a look and said "Don't say that again." I chuckled and then he looked down at the paper in my hands and I did as well.

"Nine, I will never start a family of my own, never have kids." I said and then after a brief moment of silence I said "Well, check that one off." I laughed and so did he. But then he placed one hand on my hip and the other in my left hand. He then kissed my cheek and said "And maybe someday, when Arrow and Lucy-Na are older, we can have another." I blushed slightly and let out a soft chuckle. And said "Or…maybe sooner…" That remark, made him smirk and place both hands on my hips, bringing me closer to him.

I chuckled and turned half way around, since he was behind me and I kissed him. He smiled and then he suddenly seemed to get a little…nervous? Just for a second though. Finitevus then said "Read the last one. It's my favorite. And the last one that needs to be fulfilled." I looked away from him and down at the paper.

"Number Ten; I will never…get…married…" Just as the words slipped out of my mouth I lowered the paper, and turned around to face Finitevus. He held out his hand where a small Warp ring opened up. It spun around at incredible speed, as it did this small sparks flew making it sparkle beautifully. And all of a sudden it vanished. And in its place was a small black box.

I dropped the paper I was holding and brought my hands up to my mouth as I gasped. He opened the top and revealed a solid gold ring, with a beautiful diamond in the center, which had a glow to it. I felt tears starting to well up at the corner of my eyes and then he asked those words.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" I cried out hugging him tightly. I was breaking down in tears of happiness. He took the ring from the box and then gently took my hand. He slipped the ring on and I looked down at my hand, still hugging him tightly.

"Perfect fit…" I said and Finitevus reached up to wipe away the tears to my eyes and I said "I love you, Finitevus…" he smiled and then hugged me tightly, while he also kissed me. After that long kiss, he said "I love you as well Celty." And he then added "Well, now you can't call me Finitevus or Fin. Or any abbreviation of that name. Because that name will be yours as well now…"

I smiled and chuckled and said "Alright, Aizen." We then kissed again. After, I leaned down and picked up the paper of Ten Things and then, followed Finitevus through the doorway. I smiled and said "Clever…"

"What?"

"What you did Aizen. Ten things…" I said and he chuckled and said "Well, I may have gotten down on one knee like most do, if not for this." He rubbed the brace like cast around his chest and I shrugged and said "It doesn't matter. All you have to think about now, is that I said yes."

He nodded and suddenly bent down the best he could and picked me up bridle style, he did a small spin for me just for fun and I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck and said "Careful. Don't want to hurt yourself."

"I'm quite alright. I have a few broken ribs, not a broken back." He said as he carried me down the hallway and headed for our room. I chuckled and said "I don't know… after all like my mother said, you look like you're over 40."

"So now I am old?" He joked as he opened a Warp ring in front of us. I laughed and cuddled up to him and said "No, you're just perfect Aizen." When he stepped through the Warp ring, were in our room. And over in the corner the kids were asleep in their crib, dreaming their dreams.

"And your perfection in my eyes." He said softly and set me down on the bed. He then climbed up next to me and I wrapped my arms around him and said "I love you Aizen."

"I love you too Celty." He said wrapping me up in his arms. I cuddled up close to him as I could get, and then slowly fell asleep in my fiancés arms.
