~~~The End~~~

Well, not quite.

"See I told you we would pair them up." Rei said proudly from her spot at the over hang for a window.

"How do you figure?" Chan asked skeptically watching through his binoculars. "Seems like it was taken out of your hands. It wasn't you, but events leading up to it."

"No way, if we hadn't asked at that exact moment he wouldn't have heard or went to go have that chat with her on the bridge and they wouldn't have seen each other for what they really were."

"Technically they already saw something in each other, because they had been out twice before, they would have eventually given in and told each other everything. We may have done more harm then good I'm afraid." Ami butted in with logic. "But I don't understand how they survived a 4 story crash into water head first arguing and her actually hitting him before they hit the water. By all logic their necks should have broken."

"I think there's more to this story then we'll ever know about." Makoto stated mysterious sighing over the couple.

"Hey I got a reply to my letter last month. Here I'll read it. Dear Ami, sorry it took so long to get back to you, but your question intrigued me and I had to look deeper. Apparently the original story had been about the story of a couple, the man had been a Michael Tuskino and the girl Xeronia Brightsteen. They had a child; a boy named Jax Tuskino, the Tuskino family line has only had boys until this last generation, where it had a girl and a boy. Any way, this couple was at the other ends of the war and social status. Their families disliked the couple and did everything they could to end it. But they always escaped to the bridge sitting on the bench. The girl eventually became pregnant with his child and when she had the child it was sent to his parents, because he had more money and she was ordered to marry another. It was very Romeo and Juliet, though they had a continuance of offspring and nothing ever ended that symbolized their love. But this one was forgotten and happened long before Shakespeare's work ever reached them. They went to the bridge one final night looked at each other and decided to spend all eternity together. But they knew they had nowhere left to go, so they decided to go to a place no one could find them. They jumped off the bridge forever in each other's arms, it was rumored that they were kissing as they died. That started the curse. When the families arrived most of them died, but the nice ones that could take care of their child. See they were always watching out for their children. A Tuskino has always been in the area of a time of disaster. Except it wasn't always focused on them. It helped bring couples together, and showed which was true and which were false. They only exacted wrongs. So I hope this helps answer your questions." Ami looked at them. "Tuskino? That would mean-"

"Usagi's the girl." Minako finished in awe.

"I wonder since the offspring have always been guys and Usagi's the first girl if she'll only have girls, cause she does have a younger brother.." Makoto mused.

"I think they'll deal with it when the time comes. But first I suspect we should post this on the Internet so it never gets forgotten again. Beware, if you're a descendant of somebody who tried to split the first couple up or any since, don't pass this bridge." Chan joked.

"No I do think it should be posted, let all marvel at the history behind this bridge." Rei stated seriously.

"We'll deal with it later, let's just watch the cute couple!" Minako shouted pulling her binoculars up again.
