Disclaimer: this is the part of the show where I say I own nothing (which is basically true) if its new I will gladly take credit for it, (unless you don't like it (in which case I blame… ummmm the freshman yeah, blame everything on frosh) ) the familiar stuff probably belongs to Mercedes Lackey.
A/N okay Isaac is done with school, he finished in record time because he had been in school on earth since kindergarten, (duh) so now he and Caedmon are just finishing up their first circuit, in fact they are on their way back to Haven. Caedmon POV
I trudged along beside Jedric's companion. Isaac looked absolutely lovely in his pristine whites and I couldn't have been prouder of him. His intelligence was as legendary as his poor weapons skills were infamous. My favorite thing about having a herald though was his friendship.
:Ask him about Melly,: I prompted as I had throughout the year and a half circuit. I didn't really expect him to after he had denied my constant attempts at matchmaking throughout the rest of the trip.
"Um, Jedric, do you think your sister likes me?" he asked. I wasn't sure who was more shocked, me or Jed.
"Melly? You want to know whether Melly likes you?" with that he burst into laughter. Isaac's face fell and anger welled up in me, how dare Jedric laugh at my Isaac?
"Oh, I'm sorry Isaac, it isn't funny," Jed gasped through gales of laughter, "It's just that I was talking to her last night and she asked me about you…"
"Really?" Isaac asked perking up. My anger dissipated. This was much better.
"Yes, really she is meeting us by the gate okay?"
"Great, let's see how fast these old bone bags can go then," Isaac urged. Jedric chuckled and gave his companion it's head together we raced for home.
At the gate Melly and her companion were waiting for us. She glanced nervously at us and then smiled as she fell into step with us.
"Hi Isaac," she said grinning broadly.
"Hi Melly," Isaac replied. I tried to imagine which on had the goofier looking expression.
"It's nice to see you too Melly," Jed teased.
"Oh hi Jed," Melly replied shaking her head as if to clear it.
"I'll let you two make your way back in private, in the mean time I'll give our report."
"Okay," Isaac agreed. He would have done so just as easily had Jedric offered to relieve him of his right hand.
:Well, ask her,: I prompted.
:Not yet!: he said startled by my comment.
:Yes yet, you whined throughout your entire internship about not asking her before we left, now ask.:
:Are you sure, I mean what if she says no?:
:Look at her… you think she could say no to you?:
:…:
:Do it or I'll make a scene, wouldn't you look fine if your companion dropped you on you regal white bottom in the middle of the street?:
:Traitor!: He shot back at me.
"Um, Melly, there's something I've wanted to ask you…"
"Yes?"
"Melly, um… would you marry me?"
"Me? You really mean it Isaac? For real?"
"Yes, if you'll have me."
"Of course Isaac."
Somehow they managed to hug each other, no small feet while trying to remain a horse, although it was made slightly easier by the fact that they were riding companions not horses.
I was quite satisfied with myself and when we arrived back at the stable I didn't even mind being neglected in favor of wedding arrangement, which was to say Isaac called a groom to pamper me instead of doing it himself.
The wedding was beautiful and we all lived happily ever after until we died!
A/N I know that ending sucks, (meaning the last crappy sentence. But I have a severe inability to end stories and I know the marrying thing is getting old, but at least it adds closure and finality which I always like… now that this extremely short third installment of my trilogy is complete I will work on the five or six stories that I actually intend to publish so if any of you guys ever see the my super cool super secret penname (which I am not telling you so that you can't steal it… :-P) you will know that I actually pulled it off…. Yeah right anyhow please please please review!!!! The End!!!!
