Let's begin the finale! YAY & BOO

22. Como Olvidar (Finale)*

Months have passed since the great incident of the government of San Verona, the people were happier, surrounded by love and peace at last. By seeing his endless kindness and seeing he is nothing like his monstrous father, the people voted Guillermo Rojillo as their next governador. He happily accepted the job and with his feisty sister, they inherited the family fortune and used it wisely for their town. This town has never been busier and happier. Guillermo admits this more work than his last job but with his sister's help, he could make it. But he doesn't want to disturb her cause she has her own plans coming up.

A week later, it has arrived, today, bright and early, was the greatest dia of Julieta's life; she heard church bells ringing, white doves flying around the skies and happy cheers from happy people that were super busy setting up for her big day. Ever since she told them she was their salvadora, Doña Barbara, they didn't think it twice to thank and accept her for who she is everything she's did for them for the last 10 years. That's why they wanted this day to be more than perfecto for her. The town square was decorated with bright flowers & ribbons, dancers were dancing all around in excitement.

Inside her room, Julieta stand on a stool as her Sra Nanette & her maids were putting her golden tiara & long white veil over her soft brown hair. She was smiling like crazy since she woke up. The last hora was all about getting ready for her big day, her wedding day. She's waited for this day her entire vida, to be married to el hombre of her vida, the bandit who stole her Corazon from the start like the thief he is. Her dress was made by the town tailors, who were gladly to make her dress with no charge; it was their honor to make the wedding gown of Doña Barbara. Julieta didn't care if the dress wasn't one of those high class princesas wear by fashinistas, she didn't care. After putting the finishing touches on her & handing her bouquet of white roses, it was time. Time for her to be la esposa of El Zorro.

Down at the church, guest and townspeople were starting to arrive. The groom himself has already arrived, he didn't want to be late or the bride could have gone early, silly theories of his. His mother and cousin were there too, talking to some high society guests. He admits that his mama was a bit shocked by the news of having a secret affair with la hija of Don Rojillo, but she's learn to accept her and giving them her blessing. As long as she made her son feliz.

Soon, the music of the "Wedding March" started playing. The crowd stood up from their seats for the bride's arrival. Dressed in an elegant tuxedo, Guillermo guided his sister down the rose-covered aisle. In the crowd bowed down to them in respect, especially for Julieta like if they were royalty, they almost were. Julieta smiled widely under her veil as she locked eyes with her Zorro, he looked so guapo in his tuxedo! Gnoméo grins his million dollar smirk at her, knowing she was blushing underneath that veil.

The Rojillo siblings made it down the altar; Guillermo gave Julieta a kiss on her kiss before handing her off to Gnoméo. The masked thief took his bride's hand as Padre Featherstone came out with his Biblia, smiling down at them as he started to speak.

"Queridos hermanos, we're gather here today to join in matrimonio a Gnomeo Claudio Celeste & Julieta Isable Rojillo. Our loyal servants of justicia & saint protectors. 2 personas who I love as my own since they were children. This Hermosa couple has been thru dangerous times, fighting for our good against evil, even against eachother back then. But despite all the obstacles, they finally found their happiness. To them this is more than just an eternal matrimonio, it is a partnership for life, to fight and work together for what they believe in. I'm pretty sure like all of you, all I wish them is felicidad eternal and eternal amor & they continue to be what they are to us, our fearless protectors" he began as they all gave themselves their blessing as El Padre continue, he chants the blessing of God as the couple & crowd lowered their heads to join in, praying. It was soon time for what the couple have been waiting for years.

"Usted, Julieta Isabel Rojillo, accept for esposo a Gnomeo Claudio Celeste to love him, respect him, be faithful to him until la muerte los separe?" El Padre asked her.

Julieta smiled, looking at Gnoméo. "Si, acepto"

El Padre then looks at Gnoméo "Y tu, Gnoméo, do you accept for esposa a Julieta Isabel Rojillo to love her, respect her, be faithful to her until la muerte los separe?"

"Si, Padre, acepto" Gnoméo grins at Julieta.

"If anybody here in this room objects to the union of this couple, speak now or calle para siempre" Padre calls, only hearing silence in the room and it gave relief to the couple. Well then, I declare you marido & mujer. In the name of El Padre Dios & el espiritud santo. Amen" He gave them their last blessing with his hand and holy water "Gnoméo, you kiss la novia" he finishes as he closes his Biblia.

With a smirk on his face, Gnoméo takes off Julieta's veil. Wrapping his arms around her, sharing their first kiss as marido & mujer. The crow stood up and clapped for them as they continue to kiss. When the broke apart, Gnoméo took Julieta under his arm and walked her down the aisle as the crow threw red/white roses pedals over their heads. They smiled by their cheers grew louder. Every one of their friends & families were here, even their Indian friends who were welcomed into town in order of la princesa. The couple hop on their carriage as their friends followed behind for their wedding party.

"Too much belleza would make any bride jealous, especially la rosa of San Verona herself" Gnoméo whispers in her ear, pulling her for another kiss.

La fiesta continued at the Celeste mansion, it was all a glow with the best food, the best wine ^ Champaign and the best tango dancers in all España. Every guest was enjoying themselves as they greeted the newlyweds with gifts and felicitaciones. The ballroom was filled with guest dancing to the music, especially when the couple's family hired a special guest to sing for them for their first dance which was coming up soon. Every guest was fancy dressed for the occasion, lady and gentlemen of all high society. And they were served by the palace staff and servants. Even the food was the finest in all the land by the wines and Champaigns. Bright colors of the flowers decorated the balconies and the dance floor as the guest danced across it to the livid music. Even Guillermo made a toast in honor of his sister's new life and wished her all the happiness and love for her and they all joined in the "Cheers!" An hour later, after they had their dinner, it was time for the moment everybody, especially los novios have been waiting for.

"Atencion, atencion, everybody. It's time for the flamenco dance of the los novios" Padre Featherstone called out and everybody got the message by clearing out the ballroom.

"If I'm allowed, Padre. As the best man of Gnoméo, I've brought him a little regalo" Benvolio asks, steeping into the open.

Then Gnoméo walked up to him "Of course, primo. Gracias for la sorpresa" he grins

Benny goes over to the main entrance to get his gift "David, compadre, come in" he called out.

Then an extremely handsome man with a tropical tan and golden curls and bright brown eyes entered with his band following behind him. The crowd applaud for this man, especially the girls tried not to scream so loud since this man was famous for his music and his God-like good looks. Even the bride herself was shock by the famous celebrity at her wedding! David Bisbal walked over to Gnoméo, who was glad to see his compadre again after a while.

"Que pasa, compadre?" Gnoméo grins, brotherly hugging David.

"Felicidades, Gnoméo" David pats his shoulder.

"What a surprise. Muchas gracias, primo" Gnoméo turns to Benvolio.

"The pleasure was mine of being here. And I would never miss out the wedding of mi amigo. I'm gonna get the band ready" David says.

"Espera, David before you go. I'd like you to meet mi esposa, Julieta" Gnoméo grins as he pulled Julieta to him.

Julieta got nervous of meeting the famous idol "Big fan" she giggles, keeping her cool.

Davod bowed to her and kissed her hand like a total gentleman "Un placer meeting you. Ok, muchachos, arranquen!" David exclaims as he took out his mike. (Arranquen: a way of saying Hit It!)

El Zorro took her across the dance floor where it was clear by the people, giving them space for their dance. The band started playing one of David's biggest hits and one of Julieta's favorites as David began to sing.

"Como Olvidar" (How Could I Forget) by David Bisbal

"It was a summer afternoon, dusk in the city,
Between flamenco, red wine and a Serrat song.
Enchanted me that look, full of soul and playfulness,
The joy of her body awakened a hurricane"

"Like an arrow here in my chest, stuck her mystery
The spell turned the temptation kisses
Gitana, Tell me where you were, you're lost in this dream
And until the day you find I'm reluctant to wake up"

"For you, the desire left in this skin,
I swear that someday I'll find you!"

"Como Olvidar, your eyes emerald green,
I stole to the soul,
I have left my heart in solitude
Como Olvidar, that siren charm, which now runs through my veins
And I can poison
Como Olvidar"

Dancing to the tango music, Julieta followed her husband's lead, keeping her eyes on his moves and dancing the beat of the music as he pulled her back, holding her by her waist, slowly dancing around in a circle in place as they stare into eachother's eyes. He then glides her across the dance floor as her dress follows with her. It was like if they were the only one in the room and the music was in their heads instead in the room.

"Like an arrow here in my chest, stuck in her mystery
The spell turned the temptation kisses
Gitana, tell me where you were, you've lost in this dream
And until the day you find I'm reluctant to wake up"

"For you, the desire left in this skin,
I swear that someday I'll find you.

"Como Olvidar, your eyes emerald green,
I stole to the soul,
I have left my heart in solitude
Como Olvidar, that sirena charm, which now runs through my veins
And I can poison"

"Como Olvidar, your eyes emerald green,
I stole to the soul,
I have left my heart in solitude
Como Olvidar, that sirena charm, which now runs through my veins
And I can poison"

"For you, the desire left in this skin,
I swear that someday I'll find you"

"(As forget)"

At this part of the song was little slower, Gnoméo slightly pulled away from Julieta as she moved her hips and body to the tango rhythm before being pulled and twirled around by Gnoméo again. Their steps went in perfect sync to the band's music. Julieta felt herself relaxed as she danced something she hasn't felt in a long time. She's been in the rush and dangerous adrenaline her entire life but now was her time to take it easy and relax with el hombre she loved and her familia & friends. Gnoméo then pulled her quick in his arms when she heard the next part of the song getting faster.

"How to rip the lips, all your kisses love
That sad look that haunts my heart.
For you, I'm going crazy for you.
Oh, gitana Hermosa, look how I love you because you make me happy.
mira, mira, mira, como rings, rings and rings mi corazonsito"
But it looks like you move your hips with your dance I'm dying
As forget!

"Como Olvidar, your eyes emerald green,
I stole to the soul,
I have left my heart in solitude
How could I forget, that sirena charm, which now runs through my veins
And I can poison
Como Olvidar"

"Como Olvidarte!"

(Song Ends)

David finished his song and the crowd automatically clapped & cheered for him and the newlyweds. Gnoméo pulled Julieta back on his feet by her waist and shared a kiss when he pulled her up. After catching their breath and staring into eachother's eyes for a while, they turns back to the crowd, giving their final bows to them and then look back at David who gave his own little bow to the crowd but looked back at the couple, smiling.

"Comapdre, let la fiesta continue, felicidades again!" David shouted from his corner as Gnoméo waved, giving his thanks as he went back to dancing with his wife.

Then David sang another one of his hits like "Ave Maria", "Buleria" & "Camina y Ven" as the crowd came back to the center to dance in couple but kept a special exclusive spot for the newlyweds. As the music got lively and fun again, making the people dance with joy, the people of the town. This is the fairytale wedding Julieta dreamed off, everything was perfecto but even if it wasn't, all she wanted was to be the flamante esposa of Gnoméo, El Zorro. They've had many adventures, single and together but now, she knew that from this moment on, all their adventures will be together forever, fighting for justicia and what they believed. Facing every danger they might encounter, as long as they had eachother and worked as a team.

(1 año later)

The sun was setting down over a majestic mansion over the hills where at the bottom was a breath-taking waterfall that said its waters were holy and gave you the eternal youth but it could be just myths. At the bottom's dirty paths was El Zorro riding on his trusty steed, Tornado after coming back from a hard day of thieving and robbing the rich and feeding the poor. Even though there wasn't any misery in the town of San Verona, he still loved the dangerous risk and seeing the smiles on their faces. He even traveled to other neighborhood towns that are in need of his help, giving his services to them. But he misses his family when he was away but tonight was the first night of his long-awaited rest.

Gnoméo enters the cave behind the waterfall, admiring his new Zorro cave, filled with all his training gadgets, weapons and finest wines & Champaign's. He puts Tornado in his new stables and hops off, giving his a pat on his head.

"Tornado, mi amigo. You're getting a bit too old for this" he grins as the horse shakes his head in response.

Gnoméo takes off Tornado's sattel and feeds him carrots and oats as he brushes him off before giving him his own rest. After Gnoméo changed out of his Zorro clothes, he goes up the stairs to a dead end, he pushes a button on a wall and the wall opens that lead to the living room of his mansion. The fire torches were glowing bright, he fixes his neck collar as he made his way down the hall to a room, not just any room, a nursery.

He finds an Indian woman who he hired as his child's nanny, it was his and his wife's old friend, Ustakia. He then spoke to her in her language, asking if his child was any trouble. Gnoméo was now fluent in speaking her Indian language and it was no problem understanding. Ustakia answered in her language that she has been a little angel. Ustakia got up from her rocking chair and left the room, leaving Gnoméo with his child.

Gnoméo smiled down at his child, peacefully sleeping in her crib, decorated in orchids and white roses. His child was only 3 months old; she had soft golden hair and soft peachy skin like her mother. Her name was Rosamaria "Mimi" Celeste Rojillo, she was truly beautiful and adorable in her baby dresses. Gnoméo leans down and gently kiss his daughter's tiny cheek. Feeling the touch, Mimi started to wake up and stir in her crib while Gnoméo gently stroke her cheek and golden hair. Mimi finally opened her eyes that were a mixture of blue & green. By the sight of her father smiling down at her, Mimi giggles in joy. Gnoméo chuckles as he grabs some of the orchids from her crib so he can tell her a story.

"But the good prince was not afraid of the evil king" he tells as he playfully waved the orchids over Mimi's head. He continues as she listens "He raced across the drawbridge, fighting off a 100 guards. And then, looking handsome and dashing in the late afternoon sun… he leapt onto the balcony and thrust his enchanted sword under the King's chin" he acted out with the flowers over Mimi, who was smiling & giggling.

He continues "You would kill 3 innocent men he demanded, "just to capture me? Yes. The suddenly, lightning flashed and a mighty thunder shocked the wasted land. And the evil king glared at the good prince, knowing he wanted to get rid o him. But the good prince named as Zorro knows when he's needed on his fearsome steed Tornado, riding like the wind, his sword blazing in the sun"

Gnome then grabs the orchids and started playing with them like if they were his sword "Leaping, jumping, swinging through the air. Fighting like a lion! Fighting like a tiger! Fighting…" he stops acting when he noticed somebody's presence.

Gnoméo drops the orchids and turns to face his beautiful wife, who was leaning again the doorway, smirking by his little act. Julieta was dressed in an elegant blue dress with her hair made into a side braid over her shoulder, down to her waist.

"Is this your way of putting la bebe to sleep?" she sasses.

Gnomeo leans down and kisses Mimi's head "Sleep tight, hijta" he whispers and she giggles.

"And he rides safely as possible" he finishes, feeling slightly ashamed & embarrassed.

"And the good prince? What did he say?" Julieta asks with a grin.

"Well, he leapt from the balcony onto his faithful old steed Tornado. And raced home to his beautiful wife, Julieta and his little child, Rosamaria. Never to do anything so foolish and dangerous again" he finishes.

"She loves to hear your stories" Julieta smiles, looking at Mimi and then back at him.

Gnoméo looks down at Mimi "Oh, it's only the sound of my voice. One day she'll have no time for them"

"I'm never tired of them. Why should she?" she asks, grinning

Gnoméo walks up to his wife, slowly wrapping his arms around her "Julieta…" he whispers, leaning in to kiss her.

"She already has your strength. Today, she broke the little clay horse you made for her" she says, getting a chuckle out of him.

Julieta then places her hand on Gnomeo's shoulder which made his wince in pain. "Gnoméo!" she gasps, worried.

"It's just a scratch. I'm fine" he lies, rubbing his shoulder to smooth down the pain.

"Gnoméo, you promised me…" she frowns.

"I know, mi diabla"

"No more nights waiting up for you, praying you'll come home alive"

"Los Gringos are going home. Today was Zorro's last ride for while. For now on we'll grow old together with our 5 children" he jokes, making her giggle.

"5?" she laughs.

"Si, not enough?"

Julieta chuckles "Te Amo" and the shared a long passionate kiss as she gently pushed her against a wall, kissing her lips and neck until she pulled away from air but smiled at him.

"And you know, when I sleep, I always dream of this dashing rogue Zorro on my balcony, literally sweeping me off my feet. But what face shall I give him?" she asks, raising her brow in a seductive way.

Gnoméo smirks "He could be many different hombres but only 1 can be the original, the only 1 that could love you unconditionally" he flirts, giving her another kiss on her red lips.

"How can I refuse such a man?" she flirts back "And do you know where I might find him?"

"You know Zorro. He could be anywhere" he closes the gap between them and kisses her with amor & passion, knowing that this bandida, who stole his Corazon, would be his forever.

They broke away their kiss when they heard their daughter crying. Julieta breaks away from his embrace and walks to Mimi's crib, picking her up in her arms.

"There, there, mi amor" she coos to her, cradling her in her arms.

Gnoméo looks back at her, lovingly. She was la madre perfecta for his hija.

There were more than just una Roja y un Azul, we were the legendary outlaws of El Zorro y Doña Barbara, who only shared a love adventure, filled with dangers but also a strong amor for eachother. There are many men who would wear the mask of Zorro but there can only be 1 original who will be fighting for what he loves. Julieta will do the same for her family & her pueblo. Their people with people they love and cared for. No matter where they are, where ever they are hiding, they will be there as their legends will be remembered than more than just brave outlaws but 2 souls that were separated by feud, filled with hate and greed. But their amor for eachother was stronger than any bullet, than any fight, than any glare of sword they've experienced. That's why whatever adventure they have in the future, they will face it together as La Espada y La Rosa, also known as The Sword & The Rose*
