Karana Belle: -sniff- this is the last chapter! NOOOOO!!!!! Reviewers:

pikinanou—how did you know that I put a 'Make You Smarter' pill in your Drink? I thought that I was discret! Oh well better luck next time! I saw the new pic on your site! It was so cute! And they were hugging! Kodak moment! I really liked the new pic; at least I thought it was the new one. Anyway I looked at all of them, and I have to say that I am envious; I wish I could draw like you! Yes, a whole YEAR SUPPLY! Don't worry I need a straight jacket too!

Cathy7—it's okay, at least you reviewed this time! Yeah, I love the team too!

DarkFusion—Thank you, I like confetti! Too bad that this is the last chapter!

Captain Spam—but I guess now Ace has got brain cells! Thanks to the pills. Anne's a genius. I got mine from Waldenbooks too! But they only had the first one! But maybe I should look better next time! My two sisters and I have a lot of Manga too, we have 69 books (I just counted them) but we might have a few more. And I think we started when I was in the 4th or 5th grade. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.

Magus Black—yeah, I know that Ace isn't REALLY dumb, but I like to make him dumb. Because he sure acts like it!

Maeleene (for ch. 11)—it is sweet isn't it?

Maeleene (for ch. 10)—another person that would want a Geddoe/Queen story, well I guess I should start thinking of an idea...

And I want to say thanks to everybody that reviewed anytime in the whole story! And especially the ones that stayed throughout the whole story! But I'm not saying that I like you guys better, cause I am just so happy to have so many reviews!

A Silent Romance

Epilogue

Jacques sighed as he looked at Aila leaning on the railing of the ship. 'It's been five months, a mere five months since the day I told her that I loved her.' That had been one of the happiest days of his life, because he had also found out that the feeling was mutual. 'Well what am I waiting for? I know what I'm going to say.'

And with that thought in mind he walked up to the love of his life, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Aila..."

She turned and smiled, looking into his eyes, "You've said that before."

Jacques' brow creased in confusion, "I have?" Aila just nodded; glad to know that she wouldn't be alone.

"You know Jacques, I'm glad that Queen, Ace, and Joker helped us along, but I didn't really like the disagreement that we had. It was very stressing." Jacques just hugged Aila, conveying the same thoughts with the touch.

"Anyway." Aila turned to Jacques, "You were going to say something?"

Jacques blinked then smiled, "Oh, well I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Aila, will you be my wife?" Aila smiled and hugged him for the nth time.

"Of course I will! Why wouldn't I want to be? But I have one suggestion: Can we live in Karaya?"

Ace and Joker were sitting in the Tavern, again. "You know Joker, Geddoe and Queen sure have been spending a lot of time together." Ace looked pointedly at the mentioned pair who was sitting across the room from the two men, conversing quietly.

"I know what you mean. And pretty soon Geddoe will be on his knee and we'll have miniature versions of them running all around." Joker downed the rest of his drink in one gulp, motioning for Anne to come over with some more.

Ace's face paled, "I don't want that! It's hard enough with just those two, but to have MORE terrors like them? I think I'll die!" Joker laughed, not noticing the small pill that Anne had slipped into his drink.

Anne walked away smiling evilly while the two men started a competition to see who could hold the most drinks.

Cecile was standing at her post, like always, dreaming of things never to be. She abruptly turned at the sound of footsteps, smiling when she saw Thomas. He stood beside her looking up at the stars.

Cecile, thinking that it was one of those dreams she always had, reached out and grabbed his hand. Thomas smiled while he took a step closer to the guard. Cecile looked over at him, smiling, "Thomas..." he looked over at her, brown eyes filled with something that Cecile had only seen in other men's eyes, as they looked at someone else.

A few moments later Thomas opened his mouth, "Cecile, I have something to say..." But she cut him off as her mouth touched his. And when Thomas hugged her tight, she gasped, for that had never happened in a dream.

"I'm...I'm...sorry Thomas, I thought it was a dream..." She blushed, embarrassed at her mistake.

"Well then is this a dream?" and he leaned down to capture her lips once more.

As the moon climbed nearer and nearer to its zenith, two lone figures made their way along the shore of the lake. Both were so mastered in stealth that not a soul could hear or see them. The two shadows seemed to become one. When the moonlight shone on them; Watari and Ayame could be seen kissing, seeming to have the time of their lives.

Maybe Happily Ever After really can happen. Even in a Silent Romance...

Karana: I hoped you all liked this last chapter! I forced myself to write it, although I could have done something else. I really didn't want to write it because I knew it would be the last chapter! I need some Kleenex! And maybe a camera, so I can take many pictures of the cute couples! I want to thank all of you wonderful readers from reading and liking my story! And I have decided I am going to write a Geddoe/Queen story, but not until I finish The Great Escapade, which shouldn't take long since it won't be very long anyway. Anyway, I can still say: REVIEW PLEASE!
