Epilogue

Or

Part Five: The White Wall (Part Five of Five)

Lorne

Wesley had just beaten Faith at darts and she could barely hide her fury. Sensing this, Robin rose from his chair and hastened to calm her down, whereas Wesley slid down the vacant seat with a poorly conceived smirk on his face.

Giles congratulated Wesley on his victory, though he warned him that a mad Faith was never a good thing, but Lorne wasn't paying attention to them. He was looking at the bar, where their newest Golden Trio was sitting.

The three of them intrigued Lorne. They couldn't be more different from each other, and he couldn't imagine three people less likely to become friends (except for Faith and Wesley, who amazingly enough had became closer than anyone expected). He could see nothing that connected them.

However, when he'd read them (without them noticing, of course) he'd found out something funny: their fates seemed to be linked. He hadn't got to see what lay ahead for them, but he'd known (the same way he always knew things when he read somebody) that whatever happened to one of them would affect the other two strongly.

Those three where destined for something big, something that he couldn't see yet, but definately something big. Especially Carrot's Head.

However, right now the three young men were just laughing together at the bar, enjoying their friendship, like they had no care in the world. And maybe they hadn't, at least for that night.

Their fate would catch on with them... but for now, they were just three friends enjoying each others company, each one of them filling the needs the others had, each one of them just trying to give their best.

And for now, that was more than enough.
