Everyone returned from Hawaii the next night, healthy and happy and relaxed, ready to go back to work and school.

Of course, Brooke and Lucas being Brooke and Lucas, had their last and final child, a little girl named "Brooke" after her mother.

Haley and Nathan didn't have anymore children, being perfectly content with their two.

Peyton and Jake didn't have or adopt anymore children.

Lucas, Jake, and Nathan retired 3 years later from the team. All three opened a basketball intensive training camp for boys and girls who wanted to make it into the professionals.

Brooke, Haley, and Peyton opened a dance studio for girls (and boys, Haley insisted), with ballet its primary concentration.

Madison and Conrad never got together, neither did Madison and Adrian. Maddie insisted she was fine alone.

Catherine and Anthony dated for a long time, broke up, and then dated again to end up engaged and got married in (where else?) Waikiki, Hawaii.

As we go through life, we find that we hit rocks, we hit bumps, and sometimes we trip and fall. Life is a journey, not a destination. Life is an experience, not a feeling. Life is difficult, and destructive, and blissful and beautiful all at the same time. But there's one thing in life that you can't live without- your friends, and your family.

And that's exactly what thesix friends and their children learned. When you trip and fall, your friends and family are there to bend over and pick you up.
