Chapter 26: Epilogue 3 (The End)

It was a beautiful early spring in the city known as Amity Park. The sun was shining, flowers were in bloom, birds were chirping and the weather was warm. It was a very beautiful day in the special little town who has changed so much over the years, especially since the Ecto-American Amendment Act was established and ghosts were now members of society, with Amity Park now viewed as the unofficial ghost capitol of the world.

So much has changed since then, especially with a certain special family that was practically viewed as the heart and soul of the town.

"Mom, have you seen my hairbrush?...'A teenage girl asked as she entered the room.

She had long, blue hair, glowing green eyes and fair skin with a ghostly glow and she was wearing a white day dress with a black belt and matching boots. Another noticeable feature was that she was wearing a belt buckle with the DP logo on it.

'Melody's using it to untangle her braids..." The mother answered as she watched the girl pout.

This mother was Ember Fenton, formerly Ember Mclain until she married her sweetheart Danny over 16 years ago. Ember now sported a short, bouncy waves, she was wearing simple sapphire earrings, she was wearing a simple black V-neck sweater, white slacks and black heels. Other than that, she was basically the same physically since ghosts don't actually age, although her bust has increased a bit thanks to giving birth.

"I need it, C.J is coming to pick me up in an hour, I can't let him see me with witch hair...'Cadence complained as she pointed to her hair, that actually didn't look bad at all.

Ember gave her an understanding smile. C.J was the son of their family friend Sam and Christopher and he was two years older than Cadence, since he was 16. She knew that she had a crush on him all of her life and this date was meaning a lot to her.

'Sweetie you look beautiful, C.J. will love the way you look..."Ember said but her eldest daughter ignored her as she went to her younger sister's room only to run into a boy with white hair, blue eyes and was wearing a white and black jumpsuit.

"Hey watch it!...'The boy said.

"Sorry Derek, hair emergency..."Cadence shouted as she ran passed him.

"Sheesh, you'd think she was getting dressed for the Queen of England..." The boy, Dereck muttered.

"Leave your sister be, this is her first date with C.J..." Ember chided and saw her son make a face at that.

"Don't remind me, I still can't believe it, he's suppose to be two years older than her..." Derek said.

"Love isn't determined by age Derek, heck I was born in the sixties and your father in the 90's and we made it work...'Ember reminded.

Suddenly they heard crying and they both knew what it meant.

"I got to go check on Tommy, could you heat his bottle for me...'Ember said and her son nodded.

The ghostly woman soon fazed through the walls and entered a nursery and saw a baby boy with black hair and green eyes crying in his crib.

"I got you sweetie..." Ember said as she picked her baby up and immediately realized the problem and placed him on the changing table.

In about five minutes, she managed to change his diaper and he was calmer.

"There, now that's much better right?...'Ember cooed to her baby who began to giggle.

"Gah...Gah…" The baby giggled before he suddenly became intangible but Ember anticipated this and was quick to grab him before he slipped away.

"Got you…"Ember said as she cuddled her baby closer.

"Is it safe?..." Derek said as he appeared with the baby bottle.

"Yeah, the area has been decontaminated..."Ember joked as she took the bottle and started to feed the baby.

'MOM!..." Was suddenly shouted.

"A mother's work is never done...'Ember chuckled as she went to the next room and saw Cadence arguing with a pre teen girl with black hair and green eyes.

"Tell Melody that I need to brush my hair, C.J will be here any minute and I still need to get dressed...'Cadence said.

"I need it, I got this big knot...'Melody whined.

"Melody, give your sister her hairbrush back...I'll get rid of your knot...'Ember said as she played mediator.

She saw Melody reluctantly give the brush back and Cadence run out of the room to get ready for her date. Ember giggled as she did her daughter's hair. She had finished her last tour about a year ago when she discovered that she was expecting Tommy and she decided to take a break form the next few years. She was still a performer, one of the legends now with even her own star on the Hollywood walk of fame, like she always dreamed of. However she was a mother now and she wanted to be there for her kids during their formative years, besides she had completed her contract and she was filthy rich, she can afford to take the time off.

She still sometimes couldn't believe that she was a mother of 4. She and Danny had four beautiful, wonderful children Cadence, Derek, Melody and Tommy. Derek was the oldest at 15 as Ember discovered she was pregnant within the first year of their marriage. They had Cadence the next year and about five years later they were blessed with Melody and they had Tommy only 9 months ago. They were mostly ghost and only a quarter human but she and Danny couldn't be prouder of them.

Since ghosts of spring have the potential to gain any of their parents powers, it was more unique with her children, since the halfa blood in their veins gave them an edge.

Cadence took after her father mostly, having many of his powers, although she inherited her fire base powers. Derek however was born with ice powers and many other of his father's abilities. Melody had her affinity for music but so far hasn't developed an elemental affinity yet and Tommy was still too young to tell what exactly his main powers will be aside from the basics.

They were her beautiful little angels and she loved them dearly, as did Danny.

'Where's daddy?...'Melody asked.

"He's out patrolling but he said he would be back for lunch if nothing keeps him...'Ember answered as she finally got the knot out of her daughter's hair.

"There, perfect..."Ember said as she shoed her a mirror.

"Thanks mom...'Melody said as she went to go play.

Ember sighed in content as she picked Tommy up from his playpen and decided to get a start up on lunch. She then sense the presence of her husband arriving, with a smile on his face.

While Ember barely changed much over the years, Danny did.

He was 40 years old but he was still as strong and handsome as he was in his twenties. His black hair now had a sorta salt and pepper look and he grew his beard out a bit but he was still a hunk as far as Ember was concern. His ghost half was still hot too, although he was developing black hair in that form as a side affect of his aging which Ember found ironic. Either way, he has grown into quite the man and Ember was still so in love with him.

"Hi honey, I'm home..." Danny said as he kissed her cheek and then turned to the baby.

"How's daddy's little guy?..." Danny cooed to Tommy who gurgle in response.

"Gah...heh..." The baby boy let out.

"I take it that there wasn't too much trouble today?...'Ember said as she placed Tommy in his high chair.

"No, it was just Skulker again, I swear he's worse than Box Ghost and his daughter put together..." Danny said as he shook a thermos in front of her.

'He really needs to get a cat or something..." Ember said, making her husband laugh.

'So is Cadence still here?...'Danny asked in a worried tone.

'She's getting ready and Danny, I want you to promise me that you won't embarrass her when C.J comes over..." Ember warned.

'ME? When do I embarrass her?...'Danny asked in a faux appalled tone.

"Last week when he came to tutor her, you kept popping into the living room every five minutes to spy on them...'Ember said.

"I just wanted to get something from the kitchen and I thought I lost my glasses..." Danny said but Ember wasn't buying it.

"You don't even wear glasses...'Ember reminded.

"What are you guys fighting about?..." Derek came in, carrying a corn dog.

"We aren't fighting sweetie, we were just talking about your sister and her date...'Ember said, watching her son make another face.

"I still think it's weird, C.J is practically a brother to me..." Derek said.

Ember smiled at that, Derek was born about 7 months after C.J and his twin sister Lilly were and the three of them were inseparable playmates just as their parents had been before them.

"You're uncle Tucker and your father were best friends long before he got together with your aunt Jazz remember..."Ember said and both Fenton males made faces now.

"So how's your report coming along?...'Danny asked, wanting to change the subject.

"It's coming along, I should be able to get it ready for Ms. Sanchez come monday..."Derek said.

Now it was Ember's turn to make a face, although she tried to be discreet about it.

She knew that her son was referring to his home room teacher Ms. Priscilla Sanchez, a 23 year old girl who just happened to have been the sister of the woman who was no longer mentioned in their household. Ember was freaked out at first but after some assurance from Clockwork, she knew that Priscilla, while she looked a lot like Paulina used to, she had as much in common with her as Unicorn did with a T-Rex.

For one thing, Priscilla was actually nice and reasonably intelligent and she was much more interested in modeling young minds than in the many men who ogled her. It just showed that looks could be deceiving and she should have already learned that a long time ago.

Besides, it wasn't fair to blame Priscilla for something her sister did, especially since she never even met the woman and never will.

"Well get to it..." Ember said, referring to his assignment.

"I'll do it later mom, Kyle called me to come over to see the modifications he made to his motorcycle..." Derek said excitedly.

"Homework first. .." Ember said strictly.

"But mom, please. ..I'll do it when I get back...Kyle wants me to help test the bike out..." Derek said but Ember was unconvinced.

"Are you sure it's not just for an excuse to see Roxy?..." Danny teased and saw his sons face flush.

"N-No dad...don't be weird. ...I. just want to see the bike..,besides, Roxy is 6 years older than me..." Derek said with a flush.

Sure, he had a bit of a crush on Roxy but he knew she wasn't interested in him due to the age difference. She just saw him as a younger cousin more than anything. Besides she was too hot to consider a younger man anyway.

"Just remember that Kitty said that she and her brother won't age beyond 18 if they help it...you'll be 18 soon enough...you never know. .."Danny said in a teasing tone.

As soon as Derek had gone upstairs to finish his homework and get away from his parents, Ember turned to her husband with a dirty look.

"What?..." Danny said, was still looking sheepish.

"Double standard much...You encourage our son to go after my god daughter who happens to be six years older than him and yet you have trouble accepting that our daughter going on a date at all..." Ember accused.

"It's different. .Derek is older.." Danny insisted.

"By one year..and while I love Roxy, she is too old for him anyway..." Ember pointed out.

"The age gap between you and me is wider..." Danny pointed out.

"You know that's not how it works in the Ghost Zone..." Ember said with her arms crossed.

Her husband was silent at that and Ember just rolled her eyes.

"Please Danny, this is our daughter's first date and C.J is a nice boy, not to mention your Godson...Just keep the overprotective father thing to a minimum..." Ember warned.

"Says you, you were the one watching them invisible with your binoculars when he asked her out...'Danny pointed out.

"That's different..." Ember said with a blush.

"Yeah, they didn't see you...'Danny said with a smirk and his arms crossed.

Before they could argue about it more, their eldest daughter appeared were a light blue dress, white tight, black boots and a matching belt, along with some black hair clips in her hair.

"Oh you look beautiful honey..." Ember said.

"Thanks..." Cadence said as she checked her reflection in her compact mirror.

"So where exactly are you going again?..." Danny asked.

'C.J is just taking me to the movies and then we're getting some grub...'Cadence tried to downplay it.

"I trust that you'll be home at a proper hour pumpkin, 10:30..." Danny said as his daughter let out a sigh.

"Alright dad, I won't be late..." Cadence said as she grabbed her purse.

Glancing at the watch, she saw that it was already one and then heard a knock. Taking a deep breath, the teenage girl opened the door to see a tall, dark haired boy with green eyes carrying a bouquet of roses.

It was C.J. Morgan, her brother's best friend, one of the hottest juniors at school, as well as her first love.

"Hi C.J..." The girl said bashfully.

"Hey Caddie..." C.J. said using her nickname.

Cadence blushed when he called her that. It was sort of a pet name, ever since they were kids. Usually she didn't like people giving her names, but she made the exception for him.

"Hello.." Danny suddenly popped in, with Ember sending him a dirty look.

"Hi there uncle Danny, how's everything?..."C.J said politely as he noticed the weird look on his face.

"Fine, how are your parents and your sister?..." Danny said quickly.

"There fine, busy with work and Lilly doing her volunteer work..." C.J answered.

"Oh yeah, at the hospital, I have been meaning to ask about that..." Danny started rambling.

"Oh dad..."Cadence thought as she almost died of embarrassment. She quickly sent her mother a pleading look.

"That's enough socializing, we don't want you kids to be late..." Ember said as Cadence placed her flowers in a vase.

"SEE YA ..." Cadence said as she got in C.J's car, wanting desperately to get away from her parents before they did anything else embarrassing.

" Don't worry, I'll have her back by curfew..." C.J said.

"I'm counting on that..." Danny said, only to yelp when Ember stomped on his foot.

The two teenagers drove away and Danny was now facing a very annoyed looking wife.

"What?..."Danny said in a clueless tone.

"Oh Danny, can't you remember what it was like when you were a teenager..." Ember said with a chuckle.

"Yes...Maybe I should check and see that they. .." Danny was silenced when Ember gave him a look..

"I said keep it at a minimum...Relax, we have known C.J since he was born...I trust him...'Ember said with her arms crossed.

"You can't blame me for worrying...I mean Cadence just turned 14..."Danny pointed out.

"If memory serves me, you had your share of girls at 14, one of them being C.J's very own mother..." Ember pointed out.

Danny was silent and Ember merely wrapped her arms around him. She sent him a sweet look, one that he was very familiar with at this point of his life.

" She'll be alright. ..C.J is a good kid and besides, she's our daughter...that alone make her tough..." Ember pointed out.

Danny found himself smiling before sharing a kiss with his wife.

"Maybe so, but she's still going to be my little girl..."Danny admitted.

Ember laughed before sharing another kiss with him, since it was the best method to calm him down...not to mention her favorite as well.

Elsewhere

A certain spirit of love and his wife were currently out, bringing and managing love and it's outcome in he human world.

"Another successful match. .." Cupid said after witnessing a wedding between two people he paired together.

"I will admit I had my doubts darling, the woman had a lot of emotional baggage and the man was mostly in the party scene but you managed to make them match..." Psyche said impressed.

"They both represented a need in the other, one needed to let go and have fun and the other needed to see that an all play lifestyle was the wrong kind to life to live. .." Cupid said with a shrug.

'Well I may not have your powers like Clockwork but I can sense that those two have a happy future to look forward to..." Psyche said.

Cupid didn't try to think about his mother's lover, who was obviously planning on trying to propose to his mother now that his probation was done with. His powers might not affect him but he had seen the look on his face and he knew it was only a matter of time. He no longer hated Clockwork or his mother anymore but he mostly tried to keep away when they got...romantic with each other.

Cupid tried to go focus on his work and suddenly sensed something...it was a potential seed of love, the kind that needs his attention.

"Now what have we here..." Cupid said as he used his advanced vision to see two teenagers in a car, obviously on a date. He saw the potentiality for a bond to form.

"See something?..." Psyche asked curiously.

"Yes...my next mission..." Cupid said as he went to follow that car, being sure to keep a sage distance as to not to be seen.

In the car

As the two teenagers kept trying to drive away, Cadence felt really awkward and was contemplating whether she should say something.

"I'm really sorry about my dad...he's silly..." Cadence said weakly to C.J who shrugged.

"It's okay, I kind of figured he would have gotten weird..."C.J calmly.

"So how's your project coming along?..." C.J. asked with interest.

"I finished it last night with my cousin T.J's help, and come this Monday, I'm sure to get an A plus..."Cadence said proudly.

"I'm glad to hear that, you're a smart girl...'C.J praised.

Cadence blushed at that compliment.

"Thanks but T.J really helped me out, she's a smart cookie..."Cadence said, feeling weird now.

"Come on, now is NOT the time to be tongue tied! Say something!..." Cadence hissed internally.

"So C.J...I saw your painting for the art contest. ..it looks great..." Cadence said, recalling an abstract art about nature that was on display.

"Thanks, I tried to capture mother nature and her view through the eyes of man..." C.J. explained.

He was an artist as a hobby and he was really talented at it. He even won several junior contests at school, and it was one of the many things that Cadence admires about him...

"Well it was amazing and I know that one of these days, it's gonna be hanging in a museum..." Cadence said.

"That's my dream and I won't rest u til I become the next Leonardo Da Vinci ..." C.J said dramatically before giving Cadence a sly look... "Or the next Skinny Boy Fat the paint brush..." He said as a joke about one of their favorite bands, making Cadence laugh.

The two were now laughing together and Cadence found herself becoming more relaxed around him now. They soon arrived at the movie theater and spent the time watching an action/romance flick, then they decided to take a walk through town on their way to a bistro where they had dinner together. After having desert and paying the tab, Cadence wanted to take a walk through the park and during the entire time, they were holding hands.

Now they were alone together in the park, as they watched the sunset down. Cadence felt her heart racing and butterflies in her tummy as C.J put his arm around her and she just hoped she didn't come off as a spazz.

"Beautiful..." He said.

"Yeah, the sunset really is beautiful..." Cadence said.

"I wasn't talking about the sunset..." He said, making the girl blush deeply.

She felt so happy yet so scared...maybe that was normal on first dates but she really liked C.J and it seems that he liked her...isn't it that simple?

"I really like you C.J...a lot..." Cadence said, feeling so nervous about his reaction.

Maybe she was being blunt but she just had to know if he felt the same way or if this was just a platonic date and nothing more, which she certainly hoped wasn't. To her immense relief, C.J. just smiled and looked pleased to hear that.

"I like you too Caddie..." He said with a blush, one that was identical to the one of the girls face.

They watched the sun finally set and then the greet light turns on, giving an almost magical feeling to the park. Cadence was completely marveled by her surroundings but she soon turned to C.J who had a gleam in his eyes. She noticed the way he was looking at her...it was...It was. ..the best way to describe it is that it was identical to how her father always look at her mother. She soon found herself staring into his eyes, feeling her heart practically vibrating and hoping to keep her powers under control during what might be a very crucial moment in her young life.

She noticed that C.J started to lean forward and Cadence almost gasped in excitement, she closed her eyes as she knew what was going to happen and she wanted it to happen...ever since she was 10 years old and realized that he was the one that would be for her.

The two teenagers leaned in and their lips met, creating the first kiss between them and unknown to them, it was being witness by a certain spirit of love and his wife.

"Well I will be, I didn't think I would see it twice in the same century..." Cupid said in an almost amused kind of tone.

"A bond forging without your guidance..." Psyche said in a teasing tone.

Once upon a time, Cupid hated such a thing happening since he felt he had complete control over the topic of love but now he could only look at it with a smile. It didn't matter how much involvement he was in the situation, what matters is that a bond was able to form and that's that.

"They don't need me...at least not right now..."Cupid said as he saw the two teenagers pull away and left hand in hand.

"They are highly compatible, I can see a future for them and that's what matters..."He said to his wife

"First her parents and now her...That family is certainly unusual..." Psyche said Cupid while Cuoid just shrug.

Cupid and Psyche soon left, both very pleased as they saw the bond between Cadence and C.J turn romantic. It was obvious that those two were soul mates and if given enough time, they may one day have what both of their parents have right now.

Cupid cast a glance at his beloved wife and just sensed the glorious love from all around him, between him and his precious Psyche, between Cadence and C.J, not to mention a big world who had or when due to have love soon. He was no longer that bitter, petty ghost who hid his loneliness and misery behind a pompous facade and he no longer used mischief in his acts of love. He was no longer like that and he hasn't been like that for over 16 years now

Who would have thought that one unusual Valentine's day from decades ago could change his entire life and perspective...but it did and he couldn't be more grateful about it now.

He now had his beloved wife back, he and his mother loved each other again and he was even on civil terms with Clockwork now, and he even got out of his realm for things besides his duty and started making friends with some other ghosts. Overall he was happy now and he could sense that many others were happy too...all because of the wonderful gift known as love!

Love was truly grand, wasn't it and Cupid could sense that it was meant to last forever this time around.

Not only for him but for everyone who now understands love for all of its splendor .

The end

And done.

26 chapter in total and I am very proud of each and every one of them. It has been a real pleasure to write this in my spare time.

Anyway, I would like to dedicate and give a shout out to my many wonderful reviews that have stuck by me since I started this fic:

As per tradition, here are my REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewers:

Wiseguy2415: You know how the media is about secret weddings.

The Reviewer: Thanks.

Invader Johnny and ShadowKingLegette: Thanks, I really enjoyed that as well.

Fatcatjohn: Thanks, I hope this is up to standards.

Feurrige: Wait till next chapter, I plan on giving a little peak at their misery.

61394: That's from Aladdin and the king of thieves, I like it :)

ShadowKingLegette: You and all of us together.

Guest: I'm glad you enjoyed it, as to answer that one question, the way I see it, ghost powers are kind of like whatever other genetic trait that can be passed on to children, like birthmarks and eye color, and it's really a case by case scenario in general. Some children can have more in common with one parent or the other, while other are a perfect blend of both , that what i have here.

Roxie and Kyle are fraternal twins, so their powers are more or less similar but different, both have POTENTIAL to gain both of their parents powers but they take mostly after one parent Kyle=Johnny, Roxie=Kitty. Kyle has bad luck base powers, while Roxy takes after Kitty. I hope that explains it.

Either way, I'm glad that you enjoyed this chapter and I hope that this last one was just as satisfying.

:) It's been a beautiful people! :)
