The official ending. Equipped with answers, its roughly 3 1/2 to 4 years after the ending.

Epilogue

I lifted the cigarette to his lips taking a long drag, my eyes scanned her face as I finished.

"Okay, Im confused. So you guys like busted out?" she asked making karate motions.

I nodded. "Well, it was Axel's idea, he kept me out of it. He packed out bags and then had them hidden in the bushes out the window we jumped from."

"But what about the lights and everything?"

"Well the fire alarm was pulled by Namine, which is why she wasn't at dinner, Vanitas was breaking shit everywhere like a mad man trying to keep everybody distracted. Namine was also the one screaming." I shook my head.

"I still can't believe I didn't recognize that scream."

"Alright alright…I still have more questions." Said the black haired girl.

"What about Namine and Vanitas, where are they now?"

"Well, shortly after I left Vanitas turned 18, his parents sent him there as an alternative school option so technically he graduated. He left got a job, and came back for Namine they were on and off for about 3 years and they're engaged last I checked. Right Ax?" I yelled into the kitchen

"Right what?" he yelled back.

"Namine and Vanitas are engaged?"

"Yeah, they are…alright come and eat whatever the fuck this is." He yelled back.

I shook my head as me and Yuffie stood up walking to the kitchen, Axel always yelled that he hated cooking and how bad he was but we couldn't keep him out the kitchen and everything he made was amazing. After we had left that place whose Italian name was long lost in my memory we ran, across cities, states, and regions. Some days were bad, shit, some months were bad. Me and Axel fought a lot of the time, we even broke up once and it was bad because we were living in this really shitty one bedroom apartment. We would take turns sleeping on the floor.

Eventually we settled down in Texas. I know, the city of fucking barns and hay. When we first got here I would throw up about once a week from the hay and straw just floating in the air and have violent panic attacks whenever we drove pass a barn. One time I scratched Axel so hard in the face he bled and then on top of it called him a bitch so sat in our little shack of a house and had two simultaneous breakdowns. Once we finished we went to IHOP. I still had tear stains on my face and Axel had dried blood

We got some looks that night.

Anyway after we settled in we started moving pass our defections we were happier healthier people, we live in the middle of nowhere and have stable jobs.

Axel works in an office, its very suit and tie, he has meetings that sometime keep him for way too long but its okay. I work at the neighborhood elementary school with the kindgergardners which brings us to Yuffie.

Yuffie is the 17 year old sister of one of my students, she runs away. A lot. Her parents can't stand her and in the end she ended staying with me and Axel, we at least got her back in school which is more than her parents could ever do.

Shes a hot tempered bitch.

I know that sounds mean but there is no other way to explain it, she fits in with us. We treat her like an adult and we have mutual respect. When she asked me to tell her about me and Axel the two of us were hesitant it's a pretty messy tale. But one with a happy ending.

Yuffie rubbed her hands together as Axel placed the food that appeared some form of a stir fry in front of her. It smelled great. She sloppily dug in taking large bites.

She also has zero manners.

Everybody has their pasts, nobody is perfect.

But at the end of it all even once you slip over that line, even if you pass the brink of insanity, you can still come back.

Everything can still work.

A/N: Do you have a warm fuzzy feeling? I want you to have a warm fuzzy feeling. ANYWAY. If you guys want it, I might do a 3-4 chapter thing about Axel/Roxas time before they setteled down and moved in. IF YOU GUYS WANT. Otherwise Ive got about 8 other started stories sitting on my hard drive. Damn I missed fan fiction.

Stay wonderful guys
