Epilogue: 'Happy Ever Afters'

Mimi looked radiant in her pink dress. She had argued with Matt for ages about her wedding dress being pink but she had won with a kiss as usual. Anyway she had promised to have white roses in her hair and maybe white somewhere else but if this was going to be her happiest day ever she wanted to wear pink. Sora and Tai were going to be bridesmaid and man-of-honour of course and she wondered if they would get through the wedding without a squabble. "They better!" she thought threateningly. A giggle erupted behind her and Mimi whirled around. Sora stood there beaming. "Mimi you look just as I thought you would for your wedding. Beautiful but unique" Mimi smiled tears of happiness in her eyes. "You're going to look just as special at your wedding Sora I'm only sorry I won't be able to be your bridesmaid" Sora laughed.

"I don't think you and Matt could wait any longer. You're practically bouncing on your toes right this minute!"

"Of course I am Sora! I'm finally 'getting hitched' to the man of my dreams, I look beautiful and I have a great future to look forward too! I can't wait to get started!"

Sora took Mimi's hand. "Lets not delay any more then. Out you come!"

Eyes fell on Mimi as she walked up the aisle and murmurs of appreciation followed her but she was aware of only one pair of eyes and those were beautiful, blue and steadily getting closer.

Matt looked at Mimi with awe, appreciation and love all mixed together. "After all this time," he thought "I can relax with her next to me." Their eyes were locked together in an unbreakable understanding. As Mimi stepped up next to him and they said their vows their eyes still never left the others. As if through a daze they heard the minister's voice announcing them husband and wife and finally Matt bent down for his first kiss as a married man. Mimi tossed her flowers over her shoulder not caring who caught them and threw her arms around Matt's neck.

In the background Sora caught the flowers with a squeal of delight!

"Tai I got them! I got them!"

At once Tai's face drooped. "Aww Sora now we're never going to get married!"

Sora looked up surprised. "Why in the world not?" she replied.

"Because you caught those stupid flowers!"

Sora laughed. " Tai you dummy catching these flowers means I am getting married soon!

Tai scratched his head and grinned embarrassedly. "Oh that's all right then. As long as the lucky guy is me of course!"

Sora threw her arms around him. "As Mimi used to say Duh!"

Matt and Mimi pulled apart and as they stood there nose-to-nose Matt whispered, "You were right."

Mimi smiled lazily, "I always am but what about this time exactly?"

Matt tweaked her nose, "Ours was the start of a magnificent friendship."

Mimi looked thoughtful " You know its ended almost like a fairytale. With a whole lot of 'happy ever afters.'

Matt draped an arm around her shoulders. "So this is the part where we walk off into the sunset right?"

Mimi grinned, "I guess so"

Matt pulled her into the wedding car. "We'll drive off instead"

As they kissed in the car visible to all and not caring a bit Tai said thoughtfully "Y'know Sora…"

"Mm?" she asked.

"When it's our turn do you think we can find a horse and carriage?"

THE END!
