Here's the epilogue, as promised! Five was the magic number. But, no more after this! And come check out my other story in process, please? ^_^ Anyways, keep on reviewing! Well, here it is…

Author's note- Uh, this probably won't correlate with FFX-2 when it comes out…so, just kind of ignore that when it does…

Setting: Bevelle, 3 months later

Narrator: Wakka

I don't know what it is about Lulu that makes me love her. Truthfully, she rarely ever said anything nice to me prior to the incident at Zanarkand we shared. I suppose it has something to do with how we've known each other for so long. But deep down, it's because without each other, we would be miserable, lonely in the world. But we both know what that's like.

And to be quite honest, I always liked it when she scolded me for things. I know it's just her way of showing she cares, and that's all that matters.

Narrator: Lulu

I looked at Wakka, seated by the window, deep in thought with something. Smiling, I thought to myself what a rarity that was.

Lately though, I've missed the carefree Wakka. There is something that worries him; I'm sure of it. He's been like that for the last few days. Walking in his direction, as I passed him slowly, I held his hand for a moment. He looked up and smiled, then returned his gaze at the window again. Sighing, I continued on and went outside the room, where I encountered Yuna, who was reading. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Hello Lulu. Wonderful day, isn't it?"

"Yes, I suppose it is. Of course, you can't see much when you're in the city of Bevelle."

She stood up. "Too many buildings? Yes, I know. Well then, care to take a walk with me? Perhaps Rikku would want to as well…"

"…I suppose there's nothing better to do. But when's the ceremony you're supposed to attend?"

"Ah, not for another 2 hours. C'mon, let's go find Rikku!" She rushed down the hall, laughing for no reason. I shook my head and followed.

*****

The three of us went outside, walking around the large hotel we were staying in. We talked about various things, including how Spira should be ruled now that Yevon's law no longer applied, which aeon was the 'coolest,' and what we should wear at the ceremony. We all agreed on the last one that we should wear what we always wear, since no one would recognize us otherwise.

Narrator: Wakka

Peering from the window, I could see the three girls walking up and down the paths that circled the hotel. I looking at Rikku, who was jumping up and down, an was, I suppose, talking really excitedly, to Yuna, who was always looking towards the sky, to Lulu, who remained quiet most of the time. Looking at her, and feeling what I was holding right now, I went through in my head what I had planned out. I had decided it would be after the ceremony. I only hoped she didn't hate me for doing this to her on a night such as this one.

*****

Setting: Before the ceremony, in the center of Bevelle

Playfully, I approached her, and grabbed her away from Yuna for a moment.

"Hey?! Wakka? Not now! You know we have to be there!"

"Ah, don't worry Lu, this will only take a moment…"

"What will only take a moment?" She began to smile.

I smiled at her smile, which was so rare. "This, of course." And I quickly gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Her eyes lit up. "Oh, is that all? Well then…" Lulu literally yanked me forward and kissed me on the lips. After the shock quickly diminished, I moved closer to her and gently brushed her hair back. After a few seconds she simply broke away and said, "I think a moment is up now, Wakka. Let's go back before they get suspicious." Sighing, I nodded my head. Later, I told myself.

Narrator: Yuna

I raised my eyebrows slightly as I saw Lulu and Wakka both walk around the corner from somewhere.

"And where have you two been?" I asked them as they walked up to me. Looking at each other, they sheepishly gave their apologizes, and turned away. There was something I was missing, I'm sure; however I didn't press the issue, but instead turned back to the crowd and waved at them.

Slowly we made our way towards the building, passing all the excited people and my loyal fans. When we finally got inside we waited until it was time to start.

*****

"Lady Yuna?" One of the nearby guards asked me. "It's time for your speech." He quickly bowed and returned from where he came.

I stood up quickly and made my way to the front. All eyes were on me. I saw Wakka sitting at one corner, giving me the 'Alright Yuna!' look. Rikku was sitting nearby the stage, and was waving her heart out. Meanwhile, Lulu was sitting to the far right, about two tables down from Wakka and three from Rikku. All she did was smile, but that was enough for me.

I cleared my throat. "Good evening. My name is Yuna, and I have journeyed from the isle of Besaid." I paused to wait for the clapping of the crowd to die down. "As I'm sure all of you know here today, it was exactly 3 months ago today that I defeated Sin, with the help of my guardians." I paused again, waiting. As I stood there, I saw that Wakka was looking at Lulu and holding something in his hand. Was I missing something?

"Since then, Spira has improved greatly. And I would like to personally thank everyone for helping out. It really means a lot to me and to everyone else. And so, here we are today, with this wonderful banquet being held in my honor. I can assure you if my father were still alive, he would be extremely proud. Not just of me, but of you, the people of Spira. And now; let's eat!" I bowed to the crowd, which was clapping once again. Lulu, Wakka, and Rikku all rearranged themselves so we were all sitting at the same table. I snapped my fingers, and dozens of waiters came out, holding a variety of foods.

That night we ate to our hearts' content. As the hours wore on, I noticed that Wakka wasn't eating nearly as much as he usually does.

"Wakka, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating much?"

I saw him look at Lulu, or something in her direction, and he said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just not…very hungry, ya?"

I shrugged. "Well okay then…"

Rikku looked at him in surprise. "Wakka, not hungry? What's this world coming to???" And she turned back to her food.

I noticed that Lulu only smiled. Something was going on…

Narrator: Both

Lulu sensed that Wakka was thinking about something again. Was it her? She didn't know. After the dinner was over, Yuna and Rikku headed back to the hotel, and Wakka gently pulled her aside. They went over to a bench near the hotel, where the trees isolated them from everything. The moon was full, and shined brightly over them, casting the perfect romantic area. Wakka nodded in satisfaction.

"Wakka…?" She asked timidly. "Anything you'd like to tell me?"

"Ah, Lulu…"

She was worried now. "Is something wrong?"

"I…I…" Clearly Wakka was nervous. He started fidgeting on the bench. She moved over to him and put an arm around his neck. This seemed to strengthen him. He took a deep breath and stood up. Lulu moved to stand up with him, but he motioned for her to sit down again.

"Lulu…for the last few months--no, years--you've been my only hope of joy. I love you with every once of my body, ya? And well…what I mean to say is…" He got down on one knee and took out from his pocket a ring with a perfect diamond on it. "Lulu, will you marry me?"

She looked at Wakka, then at the ring. Her heart quickly picked up speed. "Was this…was this what you've been worried about lately, Wakka?"

He blushed slightly, and nodded.

She smiled. What a guy! "I accept." He took her hand and put on the ring. "That took two tournaments worth of money to buy, ya?" She hugged him. He was back to his old self. She instantly moved against him, and they kissed at the same time. He brushed her hair back again, and she wrapped her arms around him. Then, Wakka picked Lulu up and twirled her around happily. She laughed, and once she landed she gently touched his cheek. He sighed, content.

They went back inside, holding hands. Wakka constantly fingered the ring she now wore. Soon, this wonderful woman will be my bride, he thought.

What they didn't see was the two figures looking out of the window where Wakka had once been, witnessing all of it. Yuna and Rikku looked at each other after seeing how deeply in love Wakka and Lulu were, and they both smiled happily, thinking about the wedding that would need to be planned.

Well, like I said, that's it. Thanks for reading! ^_^ I just love happy endings!
