OK yeah I know I posted this story as being over but several people asked me if I would be continuing this so I came up with an epilogue. There is absolutly no plot to this, just the characters talking adn such now that they're back from the Christmas break. If you were content with how the story ended before you don't have to read this. I just wrote it to make those who wanted a little more happy. Don't have too high of expectations for this, it's not my best work. Oh and also I won't be starting my new story for a while. I have a lotof stuff coming up in the next few weeks-some church stuff and also I'm starting a project for my school's honors program so my time is little to none. If I come out with anything, it'll be a short oneshot or something little, just so you all know I'm still alive. Sorry guys and I promise I'll start my new story as soon as I can. Peace out!

The Epilogue

The small black cab had barely stopped when Nina threw the door open and jumped out of the car. "Careful there lass. Don't want you to get hurt," the cab driver said with a small chuckle. The entire ride from the airport Nina had been practically shaking with excitement. "I've got your trunk." Nina nodded and began jogging towards the Anubis house.

Along her way she noticed all the other students that were returning to school after the three week holiday. The closer she got to Anubis House, the more excited she was. Soon the familiar house came into view and Nina began to run faster. Taking the steps two at a time Nina stopped for a brief second to catch her breath before reaching to opening the door.

Just as her hand touched the doorknob the large wooden door was thrown open and Nina was tackled to the ground in a hug. "Nina I've missed you so much!" Nina opened her eyes to see Amber sitting on top of her, smiling widely.

"Amber, don't break her before she even gets through the door," a second voice said with a small laugh.

"Mara!" Nina cried happily. Amber scrambled to her feet and extended a hand to Nina. "It's great to see both of you," Nina said happily. She re-climbed the stairs and gave Mara a big hug.

As the hugged Nina's cab driver came up with her suitcase. Quickly Nina pulled out the fare and handed it to the man. "Thanks," Nina called cheerfully as the driver walked away. Nina lifted her suitcase back up to the top of the steps and followed Amber and Mara inside.

Anubis house was exactly the same as when Nina had left. The red and black checkered floor was as spotless as ever, the antique furniture still looked as good as the day it was made, and the walls were still covered with dated wallpaper. "Hey look who decided to finally show up. We thought you were going to skip out on us or something," Mick said as he came into the foyer. He took a bit of the power bar he was eating and wrapped his arm around Nina in an awkward half-hug.

"My flight was delayed. I had to spend nine hours in the airport terminal back in New York. Not the best way to start a new term," Nina said with a shrug. Mick nodded and then walked away from the group of girls. "Hey let me put my suitcase upstairs, and then I want to hear about what you all did over the holiday." Nina took her suitcase and ran up the creaky wooden stars. She plopped her bag on her bed and ran back downstairs.

Amber took her by the hand and led her into the living room. Trudy was in the kitchen and when she saw Nina she stopped what she was doing and ran over to her. "Welcome back Sweetie! I've missed you. Did you have a good holiday?" Trudy asked kindly. She gave Nina a large hug and gently stroked her hair in a motherly way.

"It was great Trudy. But I have to admit, it feels good to be back here." Trudy smiled warmly and went back into the kitchen to continue cooking. Amber and Mara pulled Nina over the couch and the three began talking about their time at home.

As Nina was finishing telling about how her Gran's dog got into the Christmas turkey someone opened the door and walked into the house. All three girls craned their necks to see who had come back next. With a gasp Nina jumped up and ran into the foyer. "Fabian!" she called. The dark haired boy turned just in time to catch Nina in an embrace as she threw her arms around him. He picked her up off the ground and swung her in a circle.

Fabian gently set her down and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Nina Martin you are not allowed to go back to America for that long ever again. I missed you way too much," Fabian said. Nina rolled her eyes and hugged him again.

"Mara, rate on a scale of one to ten how happy you think those two are to see each other," Amber said with a giggle from the doorway to the living room.

"I'm going to go with an eleven I think," Mara replied. Nina and Fabian looked at the two girls and laughed. Mara tugged on Amber's wrist and the two of them sneaked around Nina and Fabian and climbed the stairs.

Once they were out of sight Nina and Fabian turned back to each other. "I want to hear all about your holiday," Fabian said. "Come on. Let me put my case away and we can go for a walk." Fabian took Nina's hand in his and picked up his suitcase in the other. The two walked briskly down the hallway and Fabian pushed his bedroom door open. Swiftly he threw his bag on his bed and backed out of the room.

The couple walked back down the hallway, waved to Trudy and stepped outside the house into the crisp afternoon air. Walking slowly around the perimeter of the campus Nina and Fabian told each other about what they did over Christmas. After a while they both ran out of stories to tell and simply began talking about anything that popped into their heads.

Nina then glanced up at the sky and frowned. "It's getting late, we better head back," she said sadly. Fabian nodded and the two began to walk across the campus again. They had walked all the way across the school to the football fields, which were quite a ways from Anubis house. With every step Nina felt like her feet were getting heavier and heavier. She was tired and jet lagged and just wanted to get back to Anubis House.

Fabian noticed her sluggishness and gave her a concerned frown. "Are you OK?" he asked. Nina slowly nodded and tried to put an energetic smile on her face. But naturally, Fabian saw right through it. He stood in front of Nina, with his back to her, and crouched slightly. Nina understood what he was trying to do and wrapped her arms around his neck. Placing his hands right under her knees Fabian stood back up and began to carry Nina piggy-back across the campus.

"Hey there you two lovebirds! Where have you been all afternoon?" Nina and Fabian turned their heads to see Alfie and Jerome running up towards them. "Been off on some romantic date together?" Jerome asked with a big smirk on his face. Alfie began laughing next to him and made a kissy face at Nina and Fabian.

"It's good to see you guys too," Nina said with a small laugh. "Did you just get here?"

"Nope. We got here an hour ago, we've just been going around making sure the younger years remember that we're the top dogs at this school," Alfie said proudly. Fabian rolled his eyes and began walking again. Jerome and Alfie's laughter could be heard from quite a distance.

Fabian stopped in front of the front door and Nina jumped down from his back. He reached forward to push the door open but Nina grabbed his hand just before he could. "Hey I need to thank you for carrying me across the school," she said with a grin. She leaned forward and gave Fabian a gentle kiss. He grinned and returned the kiss with one of his own.

"Hey! You two! Get a room!" Jerome called from the bottom of the stairs. Nina and Fabian jumped apart, both blushing madly. Chuckling Jerome and Alfie pushed passed the embarrassed teens and walked inside the house.

"Well that was awkward," Nina said. Fabian nodded, his entire face bright red. Nina laughed and took Fabian's hand. They opened the door to the house and went into the living room. While they were out Patricia had arrived and she was sitting on the couch with Amber and Mara.

Nina smiled and waved to her former roommate as she and Fabian walked across the living room and sat down on the loveseat. "There you two are. We were wondering where you had disappeared to," Patricia said. She gave a mild smirk and Nina shrugged her shoulders.

With everyone back at Anubis House things began to feel like no one had ever left. Jerome and Alfie began teasing Amber about something she said to Mara, Mick sat at the dining room table eating, and Patricia skimmed through a magazine. Nina stretched and leaned back against Fabian. He wrapped one arm around her waist and used his other hand to play with her hair.

As Nina watched the insanity around her she realized how much she had missed England. Even though she would always love going back to America to see her Gran, England was her home now. She had the most amazing friends she could ever ask for, and the most perfect guy who she cared about more than anything. Yeah, things were good here. Nina sighed contently and shut her eyes. She was finally back home.

"Hey Nina," Amber called. Nina moaned softly to let Amber know she was listening. "You'll never guess what I got for our room!" Amber paused a moment then shouted, "I got pink curtains!"

Nina's eyes snapped open and she shot up, staring at Amber with shock. "You've got to me kidding me!"
