Chapter 4 - End of Suffering
********************************************************************************************************

Mia sighed as she stood next to Garret, who held her hand. It had been some time since the death of the Fusion Dragon, and even longer since the Doom Dragon "died." It had taken nearly two months in that time to get home, and in that time Garret had proposed to her. Six months ago, she would have thought it to be a cruel joke. But after he saved her from the Fusion Dragon's maw and the Doom Dragon's grip, Mia finally realized that she loved him more than she herself admitted.

And as soon as he proposed, Issac and Jenna tied the knot, finally ending the long seperation between them. And Felix even asked Sheba for a date...

She looked back on their journey, at her fears, at the night at the camp, at the edge of the cliff, at on the boat... She was glad she had met such a man, who loved her for who she was. And Garret wasn't just a big, blunderig oaf, either...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting on the bench outside of his house, Garret stared at the stars. Not one of them was as blue or as beautiful as his soulmate. He thought of the time he proposed to her, and how he thought that she wouldn't accept...

Next door, voices could be heard as a fight ensued. Apparently, Dora, Issac's mom, found out that they were engaged. *Wouldn't want to be Issac right now...*

Footsteps behind him told him that a gentle figue walked behind him. He didn't need to turn to see that it was Mia, in her traditional robes.

"May I?"

Sitting next to him, they stared into the stars, her head on his shoulder, his head on hers, and hand in hand, rings on fingers...

Whew! That took alot outta me! After confessions on the boat, I decided to end this little story, although some of it will appear again in "Love Line," which parralels with it, but not entirely (IE - will Jenna and Issac ever get together?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!)

Anyway, thanks to the following for their input and reviews!
