AN EPILOGUE..

A CONCLUSION..

SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

CLOSURE.

OR IS IT?

Sydney burst in the door to her apartment. Francie had been decked out on the couch, with a box of pizza on her lap and watching the TV keenly. When she heard Sydney, she leapt up in surprise.

"Sydney!" Francie shrieked. "You're.. home!"

Sydney nodded, and smiled. She ran up to Francie and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so glad to be back, Francie," she said.

"You look so much better now, Syd.." Francie said. "You would hardly know you'd been shot."

Sydney frowned at this. "Ah yes, shot.. That was definitely not fun."

"How's Will?" Francie asked

"Oh.. he's fine, yes."

"I havent seen him yet, only you at the hospital. He got moved or something. What exactly happened?"

Sydney nervously laughed. "He was shot too."

"At the same time?" Francie raised her eyebrows.

"Er...."

Sydney put down her bags and moved towards her room, Francie following.

"I have some good news though!" Sydney smiled.

"Oh really?" Francie was intrigued.

"Yes!" Sydney excitedly said. "I met someone!"

"Someone? As in a guy someone?"

"Yes, yes!"

Francie smiled and hugged her room-mate. "So are you going to bring him over, so I can meet him? I met he's a greek god. You always reel the good ones in.."

Sydney chuckled. "Well... um.. he's out in the car."

"Ooh, so I can meet him now?"

"I guess so.. I just need to do something first."

Francie started to leave and then turned back. "Oh, and I'm really sorry about your Dad, Syd."

Sydney smiled at her friend. "Thanks."

Sydney leant down and opened the box that was under her bed. She pulled out the photo-frame that Vaughn had given her for Christmas. She had put a picture of her mother and herself in there. She pulled out the photo and pushed it aside.

She got the picture of her father and her, from the other photo frame. She put the photo in Vaughn's frame. It somehow felt right, for the two most important men who had/were in her life, to be sharing a frame and picture.

She cleared space on her side table and propped the frame up. "Perfect" she whispered.

She stayed in her room for a moment, until she heard bustling from the other parts of the house and Francie was talking to someone.

Sydney moved into the hall.

"So how long have you know Syd?" Francie questioned the tall and handsome man before her.

"Almost a year now" he replied, smiling at Francie.

"Oh really?.... Syd.. have you been keeping him a secret from me?"

Sydney giggled. She walked over to Vaughn and wrapped her arms around him.

"I would have told you sooner, Francie..."

Francie brushed her off. "Oh dont be silly, I know it's been hard. So come on in, let's have drinks and you can complete my 20 questions."

"One more thing, Francie.." Sydney's smile was widening.

Vaughn smiled at Sydney.

"We're getting married." Sydney shrieked, and started to dance in excitement.

"OH MY GOD!?" Francie gasped. "You're not serious?"

Vaughn shifted awkwardly. "Yeah she is.."

"That's FABULOUS!" Francie gave Sydney another hug.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you" Sydney said appreciative.

"So when's the big date?"

Sydney looked at Vaughn. "Have we agreed yet?"

Vaughn smiled at her, it was his way of answering.

"We're going to have it on my Dad's birthday..." Sydney said.

Francie grabbed the happy couple, and squeezed them tightly.

"I'm in charge of decorating!" Francie said, excitedly and she bumbled off into the kitchen leaving Vaughn and Sydney standing.

"Thank you" Sydney said to Vaughn.

"What for?"

"For being so great," Sydney said, and she kissed him.

THE END END.
