Epilogue
Author's Note:
I didn't know for sure if I wanted to end this story or not. It seemed to end so soon. Anyway, here it is. The Epilogue. It features the song, "Change A Heart, Change The World" by Jump 5. Me and Lightening will see you guys later! ;-)

Matt tapped his foot to the same rhythm to the beating of his heart. It was rapid. He was waiting for Inez to finish her shot.
Jackie, and their families were also there.
"What's taking her so long?" Emilio asked.
"Who knows?" Matt shrugged.
Every dreamer has dreamed of a perfect life
I know the world has been trying for years to get it right
We try and try, but find it impossible to do
Don't you wish we could make this a better place
Can't you see that we must live life a different way
Every day, imagine what love could turn this to
Wanna change the world, then change your mind
We'll light the darkness one life at a time
Then, the door to the doctor's room opened. Dr. Roberts and Inez stepped out of the room. A bandage was on the spot where the needle was put in.
"Well?" Abrienda asked.
Dr. Roberts smiled and said, "She's cured."
When we change a heart
We change the world
A spark of love can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change your heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart
We change the world
Jackie squealed with joy and hugged her friend. She was no longer fragile. She was strong, resistant. Yet, she had a kind heart.
"This is the best birthday present ever!" Inez exclaimed.
"Well, an early one anyway." Jackie smiled.
The whole group laughed.
Matt stood up and held out his hand. "Welcome to the world of no worries, Inez."
A voice is waking a heart to the light of day
A tiny flicker of hope can push the night away
It's safe to say a caring heart brings another back
Can you fathom a world where we open up
Can you picture the day we've all been dreaming of
Live and love like right now is all we really have
Wanna change the world then change your mind
We'll find forever one day at a time
Inez smiled and hugged Matt. The families and Jackie applauded.
"C'mon, let's celebrate!" Fernando said, "It will be a fiesta!"
"No." Inez smiled, "I have a better idea..."
When we change a heart
We change the world
A spark of love can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change your heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart
We change the world

"A festival..." Matt breathed, as the spectacular lights of Inez's planned festival brightened up the night.
"For the ones that didn't make it when they had Small Pox." Inez finished, "Or, any other illness."
Matt smiled, and brought Inez close.
You may think it's crazy
But that's alright with me
It's gonna take some time to find a way
But I believe...
Matt led Inez to the dance floor, as they danced along to the soft music that was playing.
"You know I love you, right?" Inez whispered.
"Of course." Matt replied, "Do you?"
"Of course." Inez answered.
We can change the world
What started as a whisper
Will echo on and on and on
The couple leaned their heads towards each other, eyes closed, until their lips met each other's.
When we change a heart we change the world
A spark of love can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change a heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart we change the world
The End
