I decided to go ahead and post this last chapter a little earlier than I planned. It's not too long, but it kinda gives a little background into the entire series, at least I like to think so.

The three brothers arrived back at Oxford late that night. It took them a while to find their way back from wherever they had ended up. James pulled into the far parking lot (all the other good spots were taken) and he and his brothers made their way back to Branham Hall. They entered through the back door, since it was the closest entrance. James and Matthew stayed in front of Wesley and instead of going to their dorm rooms, they led him into the lobby, where both Branham Hall and East Hall were joined. The moment Wesley stepped into the lobby, he was overwhelmed when a multitude of voices yelled "SURPRISE!" at him. He looked around and saw all of his friends, including a few he didn't know. He smiled at the scene and looked back at his brothers.

"Sneaky," he commented under his breath.

"You ain't seen nothin' yet," James said he grabbed Wesley and pushed him along a trail leading to a table.

Matthew walked in front of the two of them to block Wesley's vision, but when they finally stopped walking and Matthew stepped aside, there sat Stephanie at the table, beaming at Wesley. Wesley, caught off guard by this surprise, just smiled back. With a quick prod, James forced Wesley to the seat next to Stephanie as he and Matthew sat in the two chairs opposite them.

"Hi," Matthew said, "I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Matt and this is my brother Jimmy."

"Nice to meet you," Stephanie said, giggling.

"And this is our little brother, Wesley," James said, pointing to Wesley, whose face was now slightly red.

"Thank you," Wesley said through his teeth before turning to Stephanie. "They said they were my brothers, but they're really my fathers, or some kind of annoying equivalent."

"I see," Stephanie said as she looked at James and Matthew, who were staring at both her and Wesley at this point.

"Okay, bye!" Wesley said forcefully as he manually removed his brothers from the table. "So, where were we?"

"Happy birthday," Stephanie said. "That's where we were."

"Oh yeah," Wesley said.

"I'm glad we got everything straightened out," Matthew said to James.

"Yeah," James said blankly. "So did I."

"What?" Matthew asked. "What are you talking about? Hello?"

"I'm here," James said, staring at a girl. "But I should be over there right now. That's the girl who asked me out a couple days ago. I think her name was Lina. If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go talk to her. Have fun."

"Right…" Matthew said as he watched both his brothers enjoy themselves.

Wasn't that nice of Wesley's brothers to not have forgotten his birthday after all! Now Wesley's 17, Matthew's 18, and James is a whopping 20. Just in case y'all don't know…

And that concludes episode 3 of season 1 of my "Complete" series. I'm currently working on (more like trying to work on) the next episode and I hope to get it published ASAP, sometime in December since it's a Christmas story. And as usual, if y'all have any comments, questions, suggestions, ideas, or even a funny story, you can send it to "DrMagicPhD" (one word) at Gmail dot com. For some reason, you can't directly post your e-mail address on here, so you just have to be tricky…
