Well, I didn't get as many reviews as I did last time, but I'm still happy! Thank you to all of my avid reviewers!
Arch Angel- You reviewed all of my chapters! Thanks so much for all of your responses!
Frigg's Key- Hey... I like your name hehe. Thanks a lot for your review!
I've got to be happy for everything now. Because, ladies and gentlemen, this is the very last chapter of my story. I appreciate all of my reviewers throughout my entire fanfiction; you guys are the most that any author could ask for, and I'm so happy to have had you guys. And so, here it is, the final chapter!
Chapter 8: Epilogue
~*Beyond the Furthest Star in the Sky*~
RINOA
Shortly after we defeated Xu, the entire group came to Zell's door. Sure, it wasn't like most reunions, but we were all happy to see each other- even with Xu's cadaver corroding away right in the middle.
We found Seifer in the Garden later that day. He wasn't dead, but he would have been if we hadn't gotten there. Seifer healed quickly; however, he refused to walk without someone's help, Quistis' help specifically. The group called him pathetic and other names, but he secretly told me that it was just for Quistis' attention. As untrustworthy as he is, that was one thing that I knew he wasn't lying about.
My friend from the other world, Lelani, was able to live her life here on Gaia. Sadly, I had forgotten that she had never seen a male before. And so ensued her plot to date every member of the male population....
The party that Zell had planned had been a success. Not only was our team here, but all of Garden. However, Squall was my only company that night, and, honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Selphie was sitting on Irvine's lap, squeezing him so tight that I thought his head might pop off, and Seifer was practically sitting on Quistis' lap, both telling Lelani that neither of them could date her.
Squall and I were standing on the balcony with Angelo and her puppies about our feet, barking and nibbling in their cute little ways. I soon found myself lost on his stormy blue eyes, seeing such love in them that I had never received, and such a great man that was willing to give it all to me.

SQUALL
There she was, right in front of me, her beauty creating a splendid aura about her. To be honest, I was still absorbing the fact that Rinoa was back, and she was back for good. Then I realized something: all the time that she had been here with me, I had taken her for granted. I wasn't about to do it again, not for anything. So, with newly gained confidence, I grabbed her hands and put them on my neck and put my arms around her waist.
I nodded, " You wanna dance?"
Rinoa smiled that gorgeous smile of hers and nodded in return, waiting for me to make the first step. When I did, we danced to that same waltz that we had danced to three years before. I felt happy seeing her spin around and return to me, still wearing her dazzling smile. As the song ended, we stopped and turned to stare at the star-filled sky.
My angel pointed her index finger to the sky as a star fell, grinning broader than before. Now it was my turn to smile back, stretching my face in a way that it wasn't used to at all. She looked surprised but took it well, obviously content with my display of emotion.
I took this as my chance to pull her even closer to me. It was then that I gave her a passionate kiss, taking her into a world that not even I had discovered, one of love and passion and nothing more.
There we shared our love that spread even Beyond the Furthest Star in the Sky.

A/N: There it is, folks! The end of my very first fanfiction! I'm sorry it was so short, but my prologues and epilogues are usually always short and sweet ^_^. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed it. Please, please, please, PLEASE review! ~Bianka-chan. 4/12/03
