A/N: My first multi-chaptered story has come to an end. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and gave feedback. You guys are awesome! I wish you all a happy New Year, and a wonderful 2009.
"Quick, it's starting!" Cameron yelled from the couch, wrapped in the same fuzzy blanket she had used to comfort herself during her pre-Christmas sadness.
"I can't get the champagne open!" Thirteen's frustrated voice carried in from the kitchen, as did the sounds of her struggle with the cork.
"Forget the champagne, just hurry! They're down to ninety seconds!"
A pop echoed through the apartment and Thirteen rushed into the living room with a triumphant expression and two flutes of the bubbly liquid. She plopped onto the couch, and smiled as Cameron pushed aside the blanket and cuddled up to her instead.
On the TV, the crystal ball over Times Square glittered, reflecting every color of the rainbow. The crowd was giddy and wild, even as they shivered in the late-December cold. Thirteen and Cameron, warm and just as giddy, began counting with them.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven…"
Thirteen looked away from the falling crystal and towards her new girlfriend. Cameron felt her eyes and looked back.
"…four, three, two, one. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year," they whispered to each other, leaning in for a kiss that lasted through the shouts and screams on the TV and on the streets below.
And as the world celebrated the new year, Thirteen and Cameron celebrated their new beginning.
