{Hia FanFictionets; this is my very first fanfiction here. So, in other words; it will probably be awful. But then again, maybe not? Egh, I really don't care...I love writing. Hope you enjoy, God bless.}

…As the two couples, the satyr, and the winged horse looked up at the new constellation in the sky; extreme happiness filled each of them; some more than others, of course. Hercules' foster parents Alcmene and Amphitryon could tell that something more had just happened though. What made them wonder the most though; was that their son was not only with his two best friends, but an unfamiliar face; a very beautiful one at that. Alcmene turned to her husband; "is it just me, or does Herc have a new friend with him?" She asked in a low whisper. Amphitryon looked over as well; his eyes glued to the young woman standing beside Hercules. "Are you sure they're just friends?" He asked his wife in the same hushed tone; adding a soft chuckle to it. Her smile grew larger to the thought as she looked back to her husband with wondering eyes. And as if Herc was reading their minds; he gently pulled Megara off to the side.

…Once the two had a bit of privacy to speak to one another without being heard; Hercules took Meg's hands in his. With extreme nervousness in his voice, he finally asked. "M-Meg? …Will you," He met her gaze, and saw equal fear in her eyes. She knew exactly what he was going to ask; he wanted her to meet his parents, his other parents. Although she had already met his biological family; it didn't make things any easier. Within the past 24 hours, Meg's life changed beyond her wildest expectations. Not only was she free of Hades, but her bitter hatred towards life and love itself had vanished…all because of him. This man standing right in front of her; the man she had grown so deeply in love with; he had crushed everything dark and cruel inside of her. His touch made her feel like nothing in the world could ever hurt her again; this feeling frightened her, yet gave her an overwhelming sense of comfort. As she looked up into his blue, child-like eyes; she whispered the only words that came to her head. "Will they….like me?" For a moment, Hercules seemed frightened by her question. She's actually nervous about meeting my parents? This seemed to ease him, and he smiled back at her. "Will they like you?!" He lifted Meg off the ground, and pulled her into a gentle hug; smiling even wider as she started laughing by his sudden enthusiasm. "Meg….they will love you." He spoke softly; pushing a couple stray hairs away from her face as he stared into her violet eyes. A few moments passed before Meg broke their gaze, and looked over at Alcmene and Amphitryon. Still yet, they had the same smile on their faces as their eyes met. She immediately felt a rush of relief course through her body; she then looked back at Hercules, and nodded the okay.

…He slowly placed her onto her feet; both refused to let their hands part. When they started walking over; Meg felt him practically quivering with fear. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear; "Wonderboy?" Hercules smirked to the nickname; instantly allowing some stress to leave him. "No matter what," She paused a moment; not only for the effect, but to build up the courage to actually finish. "….I'll always love you." With that; all his worries seemed to fade. He didn't have to worry about the approval, or expectations everyone else thought of him. They were together, and nothing could take that away from them; not his parents, his coach, Greece, or the underworld itself. "Mom...Pop?" Hercules began as he used his free hand to take his adoptive mother's. "I-I want you….Ugh, I mean;" Hercules turned to Meg, looking for the right words to say. Her smile placed the words right to his mouth, and he continued. "This is Megara." He then laughed softly, and smiled bright enough to light up all of Greece. She returned the gesture, and stepped closer to Alcmene and Amphitryon; finally letting go of Herc's hand. "Well, everyone just…calls me Meg." Before she could say anything else; she was enveloped into a tight, yet warm hug. She looked around for a moment; at first she thought she was just imagining what was happening. Alcmene somehow hugged Meg even tighter, gently swaying her back and forth the way a loving mother would to her own child. Megara gave in, and hugged Alcmene back. Finally; the older woman released her grasp, and took Meg by the shoulders so she could study her face. "Well son, you certainly know how to pick 'um…She's very pretty, that's for sure." She spoke to Hercules with a soft chuckle. Both Hercules and Meg turned a bright shade of crimson, and stared at one another for a moment. Amphitryon joined the three, and stood beside his wife; putting his hand gently on her shoulder. "I'd have to agree with ya' on that one, m'dear." They were suddenly interrupted by a man in a purple robe with a crown atop his head. He held his hand up to silence the crowds, and finally spoke. "Citizens of Thebes, due to the mighty Hercules' brave success in saving our city; I declare a celebration be thrown in his honor. Everyone…..is invited!" The crowd starting cheering again; all except one individual….Meg.
