Erm…this is two months after the whole story takes place.  I think that was explained when I wrote "TWO MONTHS LATER" in caps before the rest of the epilogue.  Whaddya think?  Erm…this is the last part of the story, please R+R!

TWO MONTHS LATER

"Does it hurt much?" Rei kneeled next to Maximilian where he lay in bed.  Almost his entire head was wrapped in white bandages.

"Not at all."

Pegasus had just had his operation – the Millennium eye was out and, instead of a glass eye, the doctor he visited had offered to, in fact, place a new eye where the Millennium item had previously been!

It had taken the doctor about four weeks to find an eye that was Pegasus's exact color – but he did it, and now Pegasus had to go around in bandages until the recovery was complete.

"Now, when the bandages come off and your left eye is blurry for a few days, don't worry about it – it's natural after this operation.  If it still blurs after about a week, call me," the doctor had said.  So after a few days of observation in the hospital, Maximilian was released to go home with his fiancée Rei.

Rei sighed and leaned her head on Pegasus's chest.  She had talked him out of constantly wearing the red suit and he was now clothed in blue jeans and a sweater.  His long silvery hair had been cut two inches shorter and he wore it back in a ponytail, to get out of the way of the bandages.

Pegasus found Rei's hair and stroked it gently.  "When do the bandages come off?"

"In a few hours," Rei murmured.  She was enjoying the moment too much to ruin it by talking.

Both fell fast asleep.

A few hours later, Rei began to stir.  She checked her watch and gasped.  "It's four o'clock already!"  Leaning over Maximilian, she gently shook him.  "Max?"

"Hmm?" He shifted and stretched.

"They can come off now."

"Then take them off."  He smiled.

Rei leaned over and untied the knot that held the ends together.  She unwrapped the seemingly 16 layers of bandages until Pegasus's face could be seen.  He blinked a bit in the bright light; he had been in darkness for a week now.

Rei felt like crying.  He had two eyes – two beautiful amber eyes.  And both could see…

"You're even more beautiful when I can see with both eyes."  He grabbed Rei and pulled her on his lap.

She blushed lightly.  "Is your vision blurry at all?"

"Nope."

Rei reached behind his head and played with his ponytail.  "Max…your eyes…they're so beautiful…"

Pegasus reached up with both arms and pulled her down on top of him.  He kissed her passionately.  "I couldn't have done anything without you, Sunshine."

She snuggled closer to him.  When Yugi went with his friends to the castle to duel Pegasus after he got ten starchips, Rei and Yugi's friends had a tearful reunion, along with swapping adventures.  Tea was mostly interested in the Rei/Pegasus story.  She couldn't believe they had fallen in love.

Now Yugi and the group had gone back to their home, Tristan a little hesitantly because, as you remember, he had had a slight crush on Rei when the group first met her.

"Who would have known it would be like this?" Maximilian spoke, almost to himself.

"I didn't…but I'm sure glad it is."  Rei hugged her love gently.  She gazed into both of his gorgeous eyes.  He looked back at hers.

"I'm sure glad it is," Maximilian repeated.  He embraced Rei.  He would never let go.
