"John, I can't believe you are here." Abby said running up to him. "It had been so long since she had seen anyone she had known. "I missed you so much Abby, I guess in the end it broke my heart." John said hugging Abby, embracing her so tightly, not wanting to let her go. "John, I realized while I was up here that I loved you, I have loved you for so long that it would be selfish of me not to tell you." Abby said running her fingers through John's hair. "I feel the exact same way." John said smiling at his beautiful Abby. Abby smiled at him, he looked so handsome, and before she knew it she was kissing him. It felt so wonderful, something so powerful yet so gentle. It was perfect.
"Abby, can we be an "us" up here? Take another chance at this?" John asked after they stopped kissing. "Of course we can, I was hoping you would ask." Abby said smiling at him. "So where is Mark?" John asked waiting for his mentor just to show up out of the blue. "He is over the rainbow, waiting for me to come back with you." Abby said playing with the buttons on John's shirt. "I thought we were over the rainbow." John said looking around him. "Well, you could call this the tunnel I suppose, the white light. Over the rainbow is when we walk into that blinding white light." Abby said pointing to the walkway and the light that seemed to be endless. "Are we going?" John asked. Abby nodded and held out her hand. John took her hand and they looked at each other. Walking into the light John was startled at how brilliant Abby looked.
On the other side John stood almost in awe. It was perfect, just like it was supposed to be. "You like it?" Abby asked kissing him. "Its stunning, your stunning, its perfect." John said returning the kiss. As they hugged a clapping sound could be heard. Abby and John broke apart and were greeted by Mark, and Gamma. John smiled and hugged them both, Abby stood back and watched. She had been asked to retrieve John, she didn't want to ruin this time for John to catch up with some old friends. After all, they had an eternity to catch up on the few days she had been away from John, and even more time to remember everyday that went by she was with John. They were finally happy, and could finally be together in a place where pain is forgotten and everything is a memory.
