Summary: Mega might finally have found love only to find out that he will loose it if he cannot prove his love by midnight. With other complications in the Mall, will he ever manage it?

Pairings: Mava, Rega, Slebony, Jady and Lex/Ram – some only references to though.

Rating: PG-13 for this chapter I think, there is some mild language.

Disclaimer: I own nothing; the Tribe belongs to Cloud 9 and Mr. Thomas. All I do is destroy their characters in fanfic.

Epilogue

Lex sat in the café alone, once again it was Christmas and he was alone. He knew that he should have got used to it by now but he still found himself wishing that there was someone there to at least share a drink with him.

"Oh well I guess that it is just you and me now", Lex said as he lifted up his glass in a toast to the vodka bottle which sat opposite him.

"Would you mind some company?" Ram asked as he came into the Café looking forlorn.

"Not at all", Lex said indicating to one of the chairs, pouring someone of the liquor into a glass for Ram, "I take it that you cannot sleep either".

"Who can with those lot practicing for the sex Olympics?" Ram asked as the voice of one of the sisters echoed through the café, Ram quickly drowned the glass in front of him.

"You miss Java?" Lex asked as he noticed Ram's reaction to the cry of pleasure.

"More like Mega", Ram said resting his head in his hands, "I was so close. He was all hurting and vulnerable, I could have got him, it could be with him right now but I just could not do it. He seemed so unhappy".

Lex smirked slightly, "So the great evil Ram does have a heart after all, although I must say tut tut on trying to take advantage of someone when they are feeling down, that is something that only I should do".

"Yeah", Ram said looking up from his hands up to Lex and smiling slightly, "Maybe we should start up a lonely hearts club. Who is it for you, Ebony or Siva?"

"Would you believe neither?" Lex asked as he sat back in his chair, Ram raised an eye brow encouraging him to continue.

After taking another swig off his drink, Lex licked his lips subconsciously and continued, "Well you see I went out with both of them but my heart has belonged to another since the day that the Technos arrived", and then he added in a quieter tone, "since the day that I met you".

"What was that?" Ram asked not having caught the last part of Lex's sentence but none the less realising that Lex was not heart broken, just depressed.

"Um … nothing", Lex said gulping down the rest of his drink as he blushed slightly as he reached for the bottle but felt his wrist being caught in Ram's far stronger grip.

"That is not what you need", Ram purred as he used Lex's wrist to pull him further across the table so that their lips were mere inches away from each other.

"Then what do I need?" Lex wondered breathlessly.

"To be taken advantage of by me and this", Ram answered as he pressed his lips against Lex's, slipping his tongue inside Lex's soft mouth.

Just as Lex was about to respond fully Ram pulled back, not wanting to push Lex too far to fast, and as the clock hit 12 o'clock, he merely whispered, "Merry Christmas", it looked like life was going to go right for once.
