Okay okay okay! I probably won't make y'all think Eponine is dead again... mainly because I think I've run out of people to kill off... :P Anyways, enjoy!

Weeks passed and as Winter began to fade into Spring, Eponine recovered her health. Marius no longer had to worry that she would die any minute. Eponine was getting better. That made Marius so happy.
Marius looked down at the petite gamine that had fallen asleep with her head resting on his chest. She was no longer sickly looking. She was no longer deathly pale. Not to mention she was actually breathing normally.
"Mon Dieu, you're beautiful." he whispered to her. The petite gamine smiled. Marius smirked as he realized she'd only been feigning sleep. "Tired 'Ponine?" he asked her. Eponine grinned.
"Of course not, Monsieur. I was just sleeping." She replied innocently. Marius laughed. Eponine smiled and kissed him lightly. He kissed her back. "Je t'aime," (I love you,) she whispered.
"Je t'aime aussi," he whispered back.
"We should get married soon,"
"I quite agree, Mademoiselle." he kissed her again. She smiled. "I got you a ring," he told her. "I'll go get it." Marius got up and left. He came back with a small black box. He walked over and knelt down. "I want to do this properly." he said. He opened the box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. "Eponine Thenardier, my best friend and my love, will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" Eponine smiled.
"Of course I will, Monsieur." she replied. Marius slipped the ring on to her finger and then kissed her. She kissed him back.
...
Just as Marius was proposing to Eponine, Lucien Danslenoir was doing the same to Cosette. He knelt down on one knee in front of her and pulled out a small black box. He looked up into Cosette's eyes.
"Cosette, these past weeks with you have been the best of my life. Cosette Rioux, will you marry me?" he asked her as he opened the box, revealing a silver ring laced with gold. Cosette gasped and then smiled.
"Yes!" She exclaimed. Lucien slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up. Cosette hugged him tightly. He hugged her back, holding her close. Both were happier than they ever thought they would be. Lucien kissed her lightly. She kissed him back.
A couple weeks ago, both were mourning, both had found someone even in the darkness of losing a loved one, both had found their light: eachother. It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone, yet even through that darkness they had found eachother. Together, they had gotten through the pain that comes with losing a loved one.
"I love you, Cosette."
"I love you too, Lucien."
...
Marius and Eponine were walking through the streets of Paris, hand in hand. Eponine was glad to be outside with the fresh Spring breeze. Flowers were starting to bloom again and the trees were starting to regrow their leaves. It was lovely.
Then, Eponine saw someone she had hoped never to see again. Her own father. Monsieur Thenardier. And just as she saw him...
He saw her too. And he wanted revenge.
Dun dun dun! Sorry it's so short, hopefully the next one will be longer. Please review!
