A/N: Well well well. Here we are at the last chapter of the story. Today I will have finished my first muti-chapter story. Whoa. So I tried to make it a fluffy ending but I realized that writing fluff for this story is tough because I can't make them a couple... yet. *rubes hands evilly* so if this ending isn't romantic enough for you then that's your opinion. Despite it not being as fluffy as I hoped, I am still satisfied with it. Now before I get to side tracked, I would like to thank the following for reviewing my story: leafysummers, SaiyukiJ, sexyshewolf, and my ever so faithful reviewer ForeverChocolateRoses. You guys are awesome! You are the ones who kept me going and your reviews are the things that kept me updating. With the update count of 14, a total of 376 views, 3 alerts and 3 favourites, I would like to once again thank you. You are the people who kept me going. I couldn't have done this without you. (And that also goes out to all my readers, whether you reviewed or not). Ok, let's wrap this up before this note gets any longer.
The question of the chapter last time was: What would happen if Pinocchio said that he was going to lie? With only one answer, the winner was leafysummers who said, "Pinocchio said he was gonna lie, then he'd be telling the truth about him lying, therefore his nose would shrink, and once more regrow after the lie is told." Not quite the answer I was looking for but still an answer. Ok, almost done.
Disclaimer: I'm going to keep this short. I don't own LOSH. Ok finally, the epilogue.
It had been two days since Saturn Girl had been moved back to Star Pavilion.
Lightning Lad was happy to see that her wounds were healing nicely but Brainy said it was still be weeks until she could start going on missions again. Lightning Lad was on his way to see Saturn Girl and gives her, her lunch; soup (Random I know). She was able to get out of bed and walk around on crutches however; Garth didn't want Imra to push herself too far so he convinced her to him be her nursemaid. As he came to room in the sick bay, he was stopped by the sound of quiet chatter and giggling. Wondering who it was, he walked in to see Phantom Girl, the Trips, and Saturn Girl all turn to see who it was. Blushing, walked over with the tray in his hands,
"I brought you lunch," he said simply feeling the girls stares boring into him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Thanks Garth, I was starting to get hungry." Saturn Girl thanked him with a small smile. Lightning Lad put down the tray and left the room as fast as he could without making it obvious feeling like an idiot, before the heat he felt rising to his cheeks became visible. Once he left the room, he couldn't help but overhear the explosion of giggles from the girls.
He wanted to stay and eavesdrop in on the conversation; however Garth knew that somehow, whether it was by Imra's powers or the fact that girls just know when you're listening in on your conversation. He left to come back later when hopefully; she would be alone to talk. For the past two days since Imra's return, Lightning Lad hasn't had a chance to be alone with her. Either she had other visitors or Brainy would be checking on her and then telling him that he had to leave so she could rest. It was driving him crazy! He wanted to see how she was doing, talk like they always do; but more importantly, he wanted to ask her what she heard during her healing trance. Had she heard everything he said? Lightning Lad blushed at the memory. He had been worried about her and mad a Cosmic Boy so something's just "slipped out" he wasn't thinking straight yet he meant every word he spoke. He wondered if she knew that as well.

As soon as Garth left the room, Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl burst out into giggles. Saturn Girl gave them a hard looked before shushing.
"Guys, he can still hear you, you know." Phantom Girl calmed down but Triplicate Girl still was shaking from holding in the laughter.
"Sorry Im; but it's just so cute!" apologized Phantom Girl. Saturn Girl raised an eyebrow as she opened a packet of crackers and began to crush them over her hot bowl of soup.
"Aww come on! Don't tell me you haven't noticed!" Triplicate Girl added as she leaned forward propping her elbows on the edge of the bed and resting her chin on her hands. Saturn Girl gave her a questioning look before blowing on a spoon full of hot soup and putting it in her mouth.
"She obviously doesn't know Luo. Should we tell her?" asked Phantom Girl with hopeful eyes.
"Well Tinya, if we don't tell her, no one will." Triplicate reasoned a smile crossed her lips.
"Tell me what?" asked Saturn Girl as she began to sip on her soup some more.
"The obvious fact that a certain red-head who can shoot lightning has a crush on you." Tinya said nonchalantly. Imra's eyes widened as she began to cough. Both girls began patting her on the back and gave her some water to drink.
"You ok Im?" asked Phantom girl said as Triplicate girl split into three to get her more water and move the still hot soup away from the coughing Saturn Girl to keep the shaking from spilling the soup on the bed. Once Saturn Girl drank the water, her coughing died down.
"Yeah. You just surprised me, that's all." Imra answered as she gulped down more water.
"I guess we should have waited till you didn't have soup in your mouth." Triplicate Girl apologised and become one again.
"Yeah. That would have been a good idea." Saturn Girl agreed. ''Can I have my soup back please?" Triplicate Girl nodded and handed her back the bowl of soup.
"So," Phantom Girl said as Saturn Girl started to stir her soup, "do you like him?" Imra stopped and thought for a minute.
"How do you know that Lightning Lad even likes me?" She asked avoiding the previous question while trying to hide her soft blush.
"It's SO obvious! The way he looks at you, how he's protective of you, the list goes on Imra. He cares about you. A lot, even Brainy knows it." Phantom Girl explained "you would have to be blind not to see it!"
"So, that doesn't mean that he 'likes' me. Cos is protective too." Saturn Girl said trying relentlessly to reason with the two girls. Phantom Girl rolled her eyes in non-belief.
"It's different Im." Triplicate Girl added "Besides, you should have seen Sparky while you were in the hospital. He was so angry at himself and depressed. He blamed himself for what happened to you. Not only that but he was worried, really worried. He wouldn't stop blaming himself until I finally knocked some sense into him." Imra grew silent after hearing this. 'He was really that worried?' she thought to herself.
"So, back to the big question," Phantom Girl began, "do you like him?"
"Well..." Saturn Girl began; however, her answer was interrupted by the swooshing sound the door made when they opened. Saturn Girl was relieved to see Braniac 5 walk in, saving her from the interrogation.
"All right you two. Out, my patient needs some rest." The little green Coluan ordered. Phantom Girl and Trip regretfully got out of the two chairs beside the bed, said their farewells and left the room letting Saturn Girl relax.
"Brainy, you are my saviour." Saturn Girl sighed in relief. Brainy stopped looking at her chart and gave her an up-turned eyebrow.
"How so?" He asked. Saturn Girl immediately realized that he hadn't heard the conversation and changed the subject before he started to ask questions.
"Never mind. Can I ask you something?" She asked.
"Saturn Girl, I have a twelfth level intelligence (Sorry, I just had to make him say it) and your friend. You can ask me anything."
"Great. Ummm... why didn't you tell Garth and Rokk that I can sometimes hear people talking when I'm in a healing trance? I know you couldn't have not known, so why not tell them?" Brainy stopped and thought for a minute.
"Because Saturn Girl, sometimes you have to learn some things the hard way." He answered with a small smile.
A/N: boom done. Now for my question. For my next multi-chapter story, I was thinking of getting a Beta-Reader to help me do the best I can. Thoughts? Yes or no. Any recommendations?
