Chapter Ten: The Perfect Ending
Disclaimer: This song and it's lyrics belong to Staind. It's called "So Far Away".
This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
Edge sat down next to Stacy on his porch swing. It was a beautiful night. The stars were sparkling, the air was clear, and he had a beautiful girl sitting next to him. All was right in the world.
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping
He kissed Stacy on the cheek and she snuggled closer to him.
"You want to pick up Kiki from Molly's house?" she asked.
"Later," Edge replied and hesitated. "Stacy, I've got to ask you something important."
Stacy smiled at him warmly. "Sure, Edge. Ask away."
Edge got up and started pacing nervously on the porch.
"Stacy, since the first time I laid eyes on you, I've been infatuated with you. You're not just beautiful on the outside, you're beautiful on the inside too."
Stacy blushed. "Edge—" she started.
"Wait, Stace. Let me finish. I... love you," he told her.
Stacy's eyes teared up and she stood up to face him.
"Edge, I love you too."
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
Edge dropped to one knee and Stacy's mouth fell open in shock.
"Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
Stacy beamed at him and pulled him up. "Yes, of course!"
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Edge pulled her into an embrace and they both kissed and hugged each other, still in shock.
Edge pulled a diamond ring out from his pocket and slipped it on her hand and Stacy kissed him softly on the cheek.
"You know, Stace," Edge told her huskily, "We don't have to pick Kiki up for at least another two hours."
Stacy giggled and Edge pulled her into their house, a perfect ending to a perfect day.
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
A/N: I know this chapter was super short. In fact, it's not even a chapter! It's like a mini-epilogue! But I don't want to add any unnecessary stuff on this. As you can probably tell, this was the last chapter (or mini-chapter). But fear not, I'm making a sequel.
Kiki's probably going to be around twenty-five years old and spunkier than ever! I promise I'll totally e-mail everyone (if you want, that is) with the name of the new story when I post it.
Hope you guys enjoyed it reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I also want to thank everyone for reviewing. My sister suggested that I do something special for the reviewers who reviewed every single chapter. I thought I should do something special for them too. So I've decided to send you a special, "Wedding" chapter, via e-mail. I'll send it, like, next week (on Tuesday 10/12/04 to be exact.)
So, huntersgirl, Pheonix-Satori10, and KazzaXTreme, you can look forward to it. (Or not look forward, I'm gonna send it whether you want it or not). :)
Once again, thanks for all the reviews! I love you guys!
Love,
Zara (aka WipeOut18)
