Theo halfway expected to find RJ kicking them to the curb after Dai Shi was defeated. Certainly the purple clad pizza maker had never expected the three of them (or four, or five; depending on where Dom and/or Fran were sleeping on any given night.) Not that Theo anticipated Casey to be kicked out; but he and Lilly, well, he didn't expect them to be invited to stay.
One week stretched into two, and then before Theo knew it, it was two months later and he and Lilly were still there. By the end of the year, the two former Rangers had taken over Dominic's old room and Theo was seriously considering marrying her.
Dom surprised everyone by eloping with Fran in Asia during their world tour, and the loft was not the place for three couples. RJ had a solution. He, it turned out, owned the two apartment buildings behind JKP and when Theo confessed his plan to marry his girl, the purple ranger offered him the job of supervisor. Between the pay raise and private apartment, Theo couldn't say no. Teaching at the academy was great, but Theo and Lilly were in love with the city now. It was Casey who preferred to go up the hill every day, to teach, and train and to just spend time speaking with the other masters.
One blessing to that, Theo thought, was that Master Finn no longer showed up at JKP every week looking for Casey. Now, it was every other week.
Lilly did say yes when Theo finally asked her to marry him, and RJ extended his offer of a job and a place to her as well. Dom and Fran never really settled down, but their kids knew that Ocean Bluff, with it's crazy pizza parlor and Academy was their home. Theo and Lilly had three children of their own, all of whom trained at the Academy, but came back down the hill after graduation to find their paths in the real world.
RJ and Casey lived at JKP, even after Casey rose to a position of leadership in the Order, always in love, and always together. Oh, they fought, and Casey did, on occasion, bunk at Theo and Lilly's after their worst fights, but they were never apart for long. They raised no children, but spoiled their nieces and nephews with an even hand.
Theo and Lilly became partners with RJ in the apartment buildings, which where a favorite place for college students. Between the nearness of the pizza parlor and the way that Lilly treated their residents as family, and Theo was always willing to help tutor, and during finals week, the loft and their apartment were havens for the serious students. Even the parents of their students agreed that the Cat Moon Apartments was one of the best places for first time renters. That endorsement meant more to Theo than any other.
As Lilly said at the end of her stories; they lived happily ever after.
