"Welcome Home Juliette"
Epilogue

Authors Note: Here's the final chapter in the "Daddy's Girl"/"Going Home" story. I know the last chapter was *really* intense but this ones a bit lighter, one might even say corny. But I wanted a happy ending for Juliette this time. Hope you enjoy it! Please R/R!
"And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
I'm taking you home"
"Surprise!" Juliette almost jumped out of her shoes as her fellow Cliffhangers sprang from their hiding places in the cafeteria. They were all there: Ezra, Daisy, Scott, Shelby, David, and Auggie.
Her family.
"Oh My God I had no idea!!" She screamed and hugged Peter, who had convinced her to 'get something to eat' before going back to her dorm.
"That was the idea." He replied. As soon as she let go he looked down at her. "We've all missed you around here Juliette. The Cliffhangers just wanted to show you how much."
Streamers hung from the ceiling and there were even a few balloons around the room. One table, the Cliffhangers table, was covered in a purple tablecloth. She looked up to see that all of her friends were staring at her, expecting her to say something.
"I have missed you all so much." She wiped the tears from her eyes. This time they were happy tears. "Thank you for this, and for being my friends." There was a silence that followed as she wiped at her eyes.
Suddenly she was aware of a presence next to her. She looked up to see Daisy smiling at her.
"It has been so quiet around the dorm without you. Mornings just aren't the same!" She hugged her tightly, only making Juliette cry harder.
"I've missed you too Daisy, I've been dying to have my cards read." She said. Daisy silently reached into her pocket and pulled out her deck of cards.
"Always be prepared!" Juliette laughed.
She turned around to see Ezra standing quietly with a party hat hanging off the side of his head. He smiled sweetly at her.
"Hi Ezra." She said.
"Hi Jules." Then without another word he hugged her. "I'm glad you're feeling better." He mumbled.
"So am I." She replied.
Next there was Shelby. She smiled silently for a moment. "So, how are you doing queenie?"
"Much better thank you. You know something funny? I missed hearing you call me queenie." They both smiled and Shelby pulled her into a quick hug.
Once Shelby pulled back Scott was right behind her. He hugged Juliette without saying a word and then stood awkwardly for a moment. "I, uh, I missed you Jules. You know?" She smiled slightly.
"Yea I know Scott. I missed you too."
"If you, uh, ever need a friend to talk to or whatever I'm always around."
"Thank you Scott. Same to you." He nodded and turned away.
David casually strolled up to her. She laughed at the site of his party hat, which covered his left ear only.
"Uh...welcome back Juliette!" He quickly hugged her and then began to hum the theme song to "Welcome Back Kotter" as he walked off.
There was a short pause as Juliette noticed Auggie. He'd stood in the back the whole time, trying to find the words to say just how much he'd missed her. Now was the time and he made his way towards her.
"Hey twig."
"Hey Corrino."
"I was going nuts without you Jules."
"Yea more like driving us nuts!" Scott commented. Auggie just smiled. Juliette couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
"I love you Jules." Auggie said, touching her cheek with his thumb.
"I love you too Auggie." Then came the hug they had both been dreaming about for four months. Juliette was so happy that she began to cry again. Auggie didn't want to let her go.
"OK break it up already! Its cake time!" Ezra exited the kitchen carrying a round cake with "Welcome Back Juliette" inscribed in icing. There was one candle on it, burning brightly.
"Hey! I wanted to carry it!" David shouted and ran towards Ezra. Sophie and Peter glanced at each other and hurried back towards the boys, but it was too late. Cake and icing covered both of their shirts and the rest had landed on their shoes.
"David!" Sophie and Peter shouted at the same time. He looked up at them innocently.
"What?"
"That's it! Your dead!" Ezra said as aggressively as his voice would allow. He picked a chunk of the cake off of the floor and through it at David's face! The rest of the Cliffhangers laughed as David desperately struggled to remove the frosting from his eyes.
"Your going down now buddy!" He shouted at Ezra. But before he could get another crumb Scott's voice rose from the back of the room.
"Attack!" All the cliffhangers lunged for the cake and began a messy food fight. Cake was being thrown everywhere and Sophie and Peter watched in amazement as the kids covered themselves in chocolate cake.
"Looks like fun." Peter talked loudly to be heard over the cliffhangers screams. Sophie looked at him suspiciously.
"Oh no! No..Peter!" But it was too late. He had grabbed a chunk of cake and stuffed it in Sophie's face. "OK, now your going down mountain man!"
And from the back of the room Juliette watched as her friends covered themselves in her welcome home cake. Auggie ran up to her, frosting covering his face.
"Some welcome home party huh?" He said. She crossed her arms and smiled.
"It's perfect. Absolutely perfect." Then she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the others.
