So, here's the epilouge. I'm glad for all the reviewers I have and I'm so happy that you have all supported me. If it weren't for you guys, then I probably wouldn't have continued this story.

I know it's sad, but this story had to end sooner or later, and plus, it just started to feel like a chore to write it. I want to move on to further projects. So, without further ado, here is the finale of Loveless: Jack and Celia's story.

Loveless

Epilouge: A New Tomorrow, A New Future

--

Celia walked up to her room and began to pack her things. She was going to get married to Jack soon, so she was going to go live with him. While she packed her belongings, she remembered all of the events in her life that led up to this moment.

It began when she came here to live with Vesta on the first day of Spring three years ago.

--

Celia walked down the path that led from Mineral Town to Forget-Me-Not Valley, her new home. Celia had a medical condition. It was nothing too bad, but her mother insisted on letting Celia live with her friend named Vesta. So, Celia had to leave the city she formerly lived in and had to move to Forget-Me-Not Valley.

Celia arrived at Vesta's farm. She wasn't sure if it was actually the place Vesta lived, but it fit her mother's description, so what the hey?

She walked up to the buliding closest to the path leading out of town and knocked on the door. She stood there, wondering if Vesta was a nice person, or a bitter one. If she was quiet or loud--if she was polite or rude. All of a sudden, her train of thought was broken by a loud, bellowing voice. Celia turned to the source of the voice and found a large woman with messy, orange hair pulled back into a ponytail. She had a yellow shirt on with blue pants that were covered by an apron that had a picture of vegetables on it.

The woman grinned. "Are you Celia?"

Celia meekly nodded, a bit intimidated by the woman's appearance and loud voice. "Y-yes... and you're... Vesta?"

Vesta laughed. "Of course I am! Who else would I be?" Celia nervously smiled and Vesta noted her hesistant behavior. "Don't worry, I don't bite. You'll get used to me!" She laughed once again and Celia slowly began to smile. Vesta wasn't so bad, after all. Sure, she was loud, but Celia knew that she was friendly and had a big heart.

Vesta looked toward the field of crops and shouted out. "Marlin! Come meet our new roomate!"

Celia heard a groan and saw a man come out from behind a greenhouse. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." He muttered.

He had black hair that reminiscent of Elvis's hairstyle. He also had on a white button up shirt with jeans. He walked up to Celia and she smiled at him. "Hi, I'm Celia. I hope we can become good friends." She extended her hand out to him and he took it, his face a slight tinge of red.

"U-uh, sure.... I'm Marlin."

Celia gave him a confused look. "Marlin? Why is your face red? Are you sick or something?" When Vesta noticed his face, she laughed and that in turn caused Marlin's face to go an even deeper red. Celia just looked at them both confusedly. Despite her confusion, Celia came to the conclusion that she would be able to trust Vesta and Marlin and that they wouldn't do anything wrong to her. So she smiled, accepting her new family away from home.

After a while, Vesta told Celia about her farm and how they grow vegetables to supply the villagers with. She also told her about a farm that was right across the bridge and how the owner of it recently died. Celia became depressed at that relevation and wished that no one close to her would die or be in a dangerous situation. She prayed for the man's family and hoped that they would be able to cope with his death.

Little did she know, she would meet the man's only relative very soon.

--

Celia smiled at that memory. Vesta welcomed her with open arms even though she was a stranger. She was glad to have moved here and met people that she would have longtime friendships with. But once in a while, she would think about her mother and wish that would've stayed in the city and took care of her, but she knows deep in her heart that she wouldn't have been able to stop her death.

Celia continued to pack her things and saw a toy flower in a vase. That reminded her of Jack, and the first time she met him.

--

Celia was on her way to Mineral Town so she could visit one of her best friends, Karen. It was a year after she moved to the Valley and Karen was one of the people she made friends with so easily.

She walked downstairs from her room and told Vesta and Marlin that she was going to Mineral Town. Right when she walked out of the door, she bumped into someone and fell to the ground. "Oh! I'm sorry! Are you okay, Miss?" A voice asked.

Celia looked up to see a man a very handsome man with chocolate brown hair and eyes holding his hand out to her, a worried expression on his face.

She blushed and suddenly stood up. "I-it's okay! I'm fine....." She turned her head away from him and looked to the ground. What was wrong with her? Why was she acting so weird and why was her heart beating so fast?

Her bent over to see her face. "Are you sure? Your face is red." He asked.

She yelped and covered her face with her hands. "I-I'm okay, really! U-um... I'm Celia.... are you visiting the Valley?" She took her hands on her face and put her arms down to the sides of her. "I haven't seen you before, so...."

He laughed. "Oh no. I'm not a visitor. I'm the new farmer. You know, the owner of that farm across the bridge?" He pointed to emphasize his point.

"O-oh! I'm sorry! I didn't know! I--"

He smiled. "It's okay. I should've told you before." He groaned and ran a hand through his hair--it was cute. "Oh yeah.... I'm so stupid.... I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Jack."

She thought it was a very common name, but it was a nice name for someone like him.

Celia smiled. "Are you here to buy seeds?"

He looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. "No... I was just going to introduce myself, but I guess I can buy seeds too."

"Oh, okay! But I have to go now. My friend and her brother are in there, so you can buy it from them." Celia could've sworn she saw a frown on his face for less than a second, but then it quickly dissappeared.

"Okay. I guess I'll see you later then, Celia." He waved as she walked out of the farm and towards Mineral Town.

"Bye." She said. As she was leaving she thought that maybe this was her first crush on someone.

Maybe this could be her first love.

--

"Yeah, he used to bring me toy flowers everyday after we met." She looked at the flower on her dresser lovingly and then looked at the blue feather he gave her just a few weeks ago, a shadow of a smile on her face. "Yeah... he gave them to me everyday until he met Muffy."

She shallowly laughed as she recalled the memory.

--

Celia paced around in her room, contemplating her feelings for Jack. It's been about three seasons since she met him, and she found herself to have fallen in love with him.

"I have to tell him. I have to tell him how I feel!" Celia walked downstairs and out of the house. She then walked out of the farm without saying a word to Vesta and Marlin. Celia was about to cross the bridge until she felt someone grab her arm. She turned to see it was Marlin holding her back.

"Marlin? What are you--"

"I think I know what you're about to do." He sighed and continued. "I won't allow it. I don't want you to get hurt."

Celia shook her head and pulled her arm out of his grasp. "I don't know what you're talking about." She turned away from him. "So, if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Celia walked across the bridge and left Marlin by himself regretting ever letting Celia go and letting her walk into a situation that would emotionally hurt her.

Celia briskly walked to Jack's farm wondering what Marlin was talking about. Did he know something she didn't? Well, if he did, then maybe she should've stayed and listened to him. But never mind that now, all that mattered was to let Jack know her true feelings and that he felt the same. When she arrived at his farm, she slowly walked up the steep path and heard giggling. Curious, Celia hid behind Takakura's house and peered out to see Jack giving Muffy a blue feather. Muffy giggled and happily took it while giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Tears flowed from Celia's eyes and she ran out of the farm, unoticed. She stopped running when she got to the Goddess Pond and silently cried her eyes out, hoping to find comfort and salvation in the legendary Harvest Goddess. But her cries were unheard, so she was sitting there alone.

With no one to hear or help her.

--

She looked at the Blue Feather sadly before smiling at it warmly. Sure, it brought back a depressing memory, but it also made her think of a recent, joyous memory.

The time when Jack proposed to her a few days after they came back from Victor's island.

--

Celia sat at the Goddess Pond, happy to be alive. She remembered when Jack confessed his feelings for her and when Muffy sacrificed herself just a few days ago. She was sad about Muffy's passing, but decided that she wouldn't waste the life that Muffy saved by being sad all the time. She decided to get the most out of life and live it to the fullest.

Celia picked a flower that sitting next to her and smiled at it. The flower accidentally slipped out of her hand and fell into the pond.

"Oh no!" Celia gasped. She reached out to the flower and tried to get it out of the water, but slipped and fell herself.

She expected to be soaking wet, but strangely, she did not feel the cold sensation that one would usually feel when they fell into a body of water. Celia opened her eyes to see that someone was holding her up right above the pond.

"Thanks for the offer, but sorry, I don't accept humans as offerings." Said a cheerful voice.

Celia looked up to see a woman with aquamarine hair in a braid and a mystical glowing gown. She was sparkling and holding Celia while floating in mid air. Celia's eyes widened as she realized who this person was.

"G-goddess?"

The Goddess giggled. "Ah, so you know who I am." She put Celia down on the ground. "Why were you looking so sad earlier?"

Celia looked down to the ground. "It's just that... a girl... her name is Muffy... she used to live here. She died trying to save me and Jack."

The Goddess smirked. "Who said she actually died? Did you actually see her get crushed under that collapsing building?"

Celia's eyes widened. "So you mean...."

Goddess shrugged. "Who knows? I don't know if she died or not. I don't know about that young man Victor either."

Celia gasped. "There's a possibility that Victor is still alive?!" She practically yelled it at the Goddess and she looked a little taken aback, but she shrugged it off.

"Like I said before. I don't know, but there's a possibility..." She then waved at Celia. "Oh! I have to go now! Someone from Mineral Town is calling for me! Bye!" The Goddess disappeared into thin air leaving Celia by herself.

"Ohh... I hope Victor didn't survive..." She muttered.

"Celia!"

Celia turned to see Jack running up to her, smiling the whole while. "Hey, Celia!" He ran up to her and started to dig around in his rucksack.

"Uh... Jack? What are you doing?" She asked.

"Got it!" He exclaimed. He took a blue feather from his rucksack and held it out to her. "Here."

She blinked, her face gradually turning red. "W-what...?"

He scratched the back of his head, looking away from Celia's shocked face. "Uh... how do you say it again? Oh yeah." He muttered. Jack turned to Celia with a smile on his face. "I'm not good with these things, but will you marry me?"

Celia smiled warmly at him and started to laugh. He looked hurt and upset. "Hey! I work so hard to propose to you and you just laugh!" He crossed his arms and Celia jus started to laugh even more.

"N-no! It's just that... you went about it all wrong! Here... get down on one knee." He did as she said and she smiled. "There. Now you have to be romantic about it." She picked various flowers and put them into a boquet. "Here. Now take these flowers and hold them out to me along with the blue feather."

"Uh.... okay." He took the flowers, got on one knee and held them out along with the blue feather. He looked a Celia with a straight face. "Celia. Will you marry me?"

She mocked a dreamy sigh. "Of course, I will."

He smiled and stood up. "Now that we're done with that," He held his arms out to her. "Come here. Give me a hug."

"Okay." She giggled and walked over to him, putting her hands on his shoulders.

"What kind of hug is this?" He asked. "You're putting your hands on my shoulders." She merely smiled and pecked him on the lips. He blinked at her, a shocked look on his face. "Celia... t-that's the first time you... you... kissed me." His face was red and he scratched his head. "It's kind of weird. To tell the truth, I was trying to avoid intimate things like that..."

She smiled innocently. "I just felt like it." She said. "I mean, seriously, you're straightforward Jack, I'll give you that. But, you're also so innocent. It's one little kiss, is that so difficult?" She winked and ran away, no doubt back to her house.

Jack stood at the Goddess Pond, shaking his head. "My innocent little Celia... she's become bold. What has Karen been teaching her?" He sighed and picked up his rucksack. Noticing that the blue feather was no longer in his possession, he smiled.

She was his best friend, the person he loved most, and soon she would be....

His wife.

--

Celia slightly blushed with how bold she was that day when she kissed him. She just followed Karen's advice, and doing that made her act totally out of character. She vowed that she would never be that bold or straightforward with him like that again.

With a bright smile on her face, Celia picked up her suitcase full of her belongings and looked at her old room one last time before she would move in with Jack. She smiled and closed the door. She went downstairs and hugged Vesta and Marlin.

"I'll come visit you guys sometime!" Vesta said. Celia nodded and turned to Marlin.

He huffed. "If... if that guy hurts you in any way, I'll make sure to get him for you." Celia laughed as she walked out of the door.

"Bye you guys! I'll come back to visit!" She yelled. Marlin and Vesta waved as Celia closed the door.

Celia walked outside to come face to face with none other than Jack. He held his hand out to her with a large smile on his face. "Ready to go?"

She nodded and took his hand. "Of course."

As they slowly walked down the road hand-in-hand, Jack looked down at Celia. "Do you think that there's really a possiblity that Muffy--or even Victor--could be alive?" He asked.

Celia frowned. "Well, from the way the Goddess was talking... there could be. I'd be happy if Muffy were still alive, don't get me wrong. But, it's Victor... it's him that worries me. What if he tries to get revenge?"

Jack let go of Celia hand and put his arm around her shoulders. "If he does, don't worry. I'll protect you." He smiled and looked up to the sky. "You know, Celia. I think.... I think I've always loved you, or at least had some kind of feelings for you ever since we met."

She gave him a confused look. "Really? But what about that whole being in love with Muffy thing? It really hurt me, you know."

He sighed. "I know, and I'm really sorry. I think.... I was just infatuated with her. I think I had these feelings for you from the start, but refused to believe it because I hated the idea of being in love with my best friend. I think that's what pushed me to Muffy. I wanted to believe so hard that I didn't have feelings for you until I just thought, 'Hey, if I did have feelings for her, then she wouldn't feel the same way about me and it would ruin our friendship, so it's best to be interested in someone who would actually feel the same about me.' So with that thought in mind, I just went for Muffy." He stopped looking at the sky and looked down to Celia, laughing shallowly. "I guess that didn't work out, did it? Muffy dumped me, I felt bad about myself, and you... you helped me. That's when my feelings for you started to show again and I continued to refuse that I was in love with my friend. What made me finally come to terms with those feelings was the help of many people around me and... this really annoying voice in my mind. I know I was really naive and stupid, I know that it took way too long for me to accept my own feelings, but Celia... believe me when I say this. I'm truly sorry for anything I might have done to hurt you. I really care about you; I hope you know that."

She smiled at Jack. "I... I know. But... let's not get so depressed, okay? We're together, and that's all that matters, right?"

He nodded. "Right."

"Okay!" She cheered. "So.... let's go home!" She grabbed his hand and ran towards the farm. They both laughed oyfully as they headed towards their new life.

Together, for a new tomorrow and a new future.
