A/N- Hey guys! So one more chapter after this. Sorry it took so long for me to update. Finally my senior year has started getting really really hectic. I'm sorry if it isn't edited well in advance. I wanted to post it so I did a very quick look over. Enjoy!

soccergurl382- I'm glad you liked it! The ending is the next chapter so although you still have to wait one more chapter it is pretty close.

MagykGurl- Thanks!

raven2547- I was scared about making Reid too… well sappy, but I guess it turned out alright since everyone liked it!

tyLer-Lover- Ok… I have no clue what 'PM' means… it sounds familiar, but I can't place it…

Happy Face21- Well I'm happy you don't mind the fast reconciliation between Dena and Reid. That wasn't the last chapter (obviously). There is still this chapter along with one more. I'm not sure about an epilogue because I have an idea for a sequel so I'm going to start writing that one soon. Don't expect to see it for a bit though because I want to have most of the story written before I start posting it.

Larissa- Thanks I'm glad you like it!

Tony had eventually returned home for a bit to get his surf board and more clothes. He brought Anne with him so everyone was finally able to meet the pair. They had decided to drive down to coast and go to Zuma for the day. Tony just wanted to get a shore break and Lucy was more than ready to agree with him and add her board to the car. This time they took three cars because Tony and Anne didn't want to separate and Lucy claimed that she was in the middle of a conversation with Tyler that she didn't want to end. The three car caravan drove the 45 minutes to Malibu where they found some street parking. Luckily school was still in for most local schools so the beach was still relatively empty. The girls set up towels and umbrellas to lie on while the guys got a game of football started. Tony left the game so the teams would be even and so he could go surfing.

"So Dena, I can't believe you're actually going to Harvard with the rest of us." Kate said.

"Ya I know, exciting huh? It's going to be like Spencer again, but with the addition of Lucy."

"Lucy, you're going to go to Harvard too?" Sarah asked.

"Yup, I'm going to major in English though. I want to become a teacher, well professor actually."

"That's so cool. What about your brother and Anne?"

"Anne's going to UC Davis to become a vet and Tony's going to UCSB for sports medicine."

"That's cool."

"I'm going into the water. I'm getting hot." Dena said. She got up from her towel ad placed her sunglasses into her bag. She took off her shorts and sandals so all she was in was her aqua blue bikini. As she walked over to the hard sand the football the guys had been playing with landed at her feet. Before she knew what was going on Reid had Dena over his shoulder and was hauling her into the water. "Reid, put me down! Reid! Don't you dare drop me! Reid, are you listening to me? Reid!" The game on the beach had stopped and everyone else in the group was watching the newly reconnected couple.

"Yes I hear you, baby. Why are you telling what to do? You know I don't like people telling me what to do."

"I'm sorry then, but Reid? You know how I love you right? You wouldn't want to ruin that by dropping me into the horribly cold salt water right?" Dena asked. The only response Dena was given was the shock of cold water surrounding her. She still felt Reid's warm arms around her as they became weightless under the water. "Reid!" Dena yelled when they finally surfaced. Reid just laughed as he sat down when the water finally got shallow enough.

Dena grinned and pushed Reid back into the water and fell on top of him. She left a quick kiss on his lips before getting up and running off across the beach. Reid grinned as well and raced after her. By now the game on the beach had resumed so no one noticed when Dena ran out into the deeper water and Reid quickly followed her. They both spent a few minutes swimming around playing a game of cat and mouse. When they both re-emerged from the water they were laughing and tumbling up the beach. They landed on Dena's overly large beach towel with everyone else.

oOoOoOo

A week and a half later Dena and Lucy were at the airport watching as their east coast friends were checking in and getting their tickets. Anne and Tony were standing slightly behind Lucy and Dena watching everything happen. Pogue and Caleb checked in their luggage as well as Sarah's and Kate's before Reid and Tyler were able to get their checked in. When everyone was together they walked over to security, but waited before going through. With all of the increased security those not flying typically didn't go past the guards.

"Are you guys going to visit sometime?" Tyler asked. His question was directed to the four staying in California, but his eyes were aimed at Lucy.

"Maybe, depends on work schedules." Lucy responded.

"Well make sure it's soon. I don't want to be alone long again." Reid whispered the last part into Dena's hair. Dena simply nodded, not trusting her voice.

"We've need to get to the terminal." Sarah said quietly. She didn't want to interrupt the couple, but new how hard flying is these days. She said goodbye to everyone along with Caleb, Pogue, and Kate before heading into security. Reid wrapped his arms around Dena and shook his head in her shoulder.

"I don't want to go."

"I'll see you soon. I promise." Dena said. She leaned further into Reid's body so their bodies were plastered together.

"I'll keep you to that promise. If you are not visiting when I think you should then I'm flying out here to kidnap you."

"Reid, that would mean you would be back here tomorrow then. We'll have to set a time limit."

"I'll think about it and call you tomorrow with one alright?" Dena nodded.

"I'll talk to you then." She turned around and wrapped her arms around Reid's neck as their lips met in a gentle, yet very passionate, goodbye kiss. "Bye."

"Bye." When they separated they found Tyler and Lucy in the middle of their own goodbye. Reid and Tyler walked through the security area together and rejoined their group on the second floor. They both waved goodbye to everyone still on the first floor of the airport before turning and walking towards the terminal.

"I already miss them." Lucy whined.

"No, you already miss him." Tony corrected. The past two weeks Lucy and Tyler had become as close as the other couples that had surrounded them. The final sleeping arrangements had put Reid in Dena's room, Pogue and Kate in the guest/study room, Caleb and Sarah in Tony's room, and Tyler on the coach. Though some morning Tyler would either be in Lucy's room or Lucy would be sleeping next to Tyler in the living room. They had just become another fast moving relationship, making every minute count since they knew this was only a vacation.

"We should get going." Dena said as she wiped a single tear away from the corner of her eye. The others nodded and followed her example.
