Epiloge
10 years later...
Irma laughed as she hugged Will. "Congratulations!" She beamed. "I bet you never guessed, did you, that you and Caleb would marry each other one day!"
Will, wearing a beautiful long white gown, shook her head and smiled back. "I hoped, but...well, you know." She agreed.
Cornelia smiled. "I can't believe this! The wedding was so beautiful!" She commented.
Taranee nodded. "Are you 2 living here?" She asked.
Will nodded. "Yeah. Caleb said we're still visiting his father and the rest of his family, but...well, the way I see, we might have to raise the next generation of guardians!" She giggled happily. "Speaking of Caleb...where is he?" She added.
Hay Lin walked up pushing a large covered dish on a tray. "Oh, he asked me to fix a special dish for him." She smiled cheerfully. "He also said he wanted to make sure the cake was ready."
Will shook her head. "I just can't convince him to stay put! I'll be right back." She added as she rushed off.
Cornelia looked at Hay Lin. "What is he really doing?" She asked.
Hay Lin laughed. "He asked me to make a cake stuffed with Watercress Wonder. Then we just had to switch the cakes. He's in back, pouring hot mustard into the punch he and Will will drink." She giggled.
Taranee grinned as Will and Caleb reappeared and began to cut their cake. Within a second, Will was gagging on the floor.
Blunk walked up. "Portal opened nearby." He announced. "Looks like someone wants through the veil."
Will reached for the Heart, still coughing. "Guardians unite!" She managed.
Caleb stripped off his tux jacket and found his old one. "What's wrong, Will?" He asked as they hurried out the back door.
Will shrugged. "I guess I'm kind of sad that nothing changed." She said, but her sparkling eyes belied her.
Caleb grinned. "Liar."
