Chapter Seven: Back Home And In Love

Soon, it was Sunday and the couples had returned home. Once home, the girls wanted to have a little get together at the guys' place seeing as they had a basement where they all hung out together. Once there, the girl began to tell each other about what their boyfriends did for them. Needless to say that the video Will showed of the squid legs surprised the other girls.

"You actually ate that?", Cornelia questioned as she and the other girls were looking at the video Will showed them on her phone.

"Yeah!", Will said as stopped the video. "It may look freaky, but it tasted pretty good."

"If you say so.", Irma said with a shiver just as the guys came downstairs with soe snacks for them and the girls to eat.

"What's up with, Irma?", Sho asked as he sat next to Will.

"I showed her and the girls the video of the squid legs I ate.", Will explained.

"I remember trying squid legs for the first time.", Tommy replied. "They do taste good though."

"True.", Ricky said.

"Enough talk about squid legs!", Irma said. "Corny! Let's see them!"

"One, don't call me Corny!", Cornelia said as she reached behind her and grabbed a shopping bag she brought with her. "And two, hold your horses.", she said as she reached inside the bag and pulled out her white pants that she wore on Valentine's Day. "Ta-Da!", she said as she showed everyone the back of the pants.

Everyone looked to see that there was a nice big purple grape stain where she fell into the tub of grapes.

"Priceless!", Ricky laughed along with the others.

"Now that's funny!", Irma laughed as she and some of the other took some pictures of Cornelia holding the pants.

"Laugh all you guys want.", Cornelia said as she put her pants away. "But I see these pants as a sign that I not only did some hard work but that I showed a certain girl that I'm not as soft as she thought I was.", she said with a proud smile.

"That's my señorita.", Tommy said as he held Cornelia close to her.

"Well, I learned that I'm one heck of a snowboarder!", Hay Lin said with a beaming smile. "And hot tubs can be fun."

"Yes they can be.", Angelo said as Hay Lin rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.

"Well I've learned that there are times that you have to take a chance and follow your heart.", Taranee said as she and Ricky intertwined their fingers together.

"Cause you'd be amazed at what happens.", Ricky said as they smiled at each other.

"Life is always full of surprises.", Scott said.

"Ain't that the truth!", Irma replied.

"Speaking of surprises.", Will said as she picked up her phone and brought something up. "I met some friends of Sho's in Tokyo who'd like to say hello to three of you guys.", Will said with a sly smirk as she showed the video that was on her iPhone.

Angelo, Ricky, and Tommy's jaws dropped when they saw Lita, Ami, and Mina in the video Will had.

"Hi, Ricky!", Ami said with a smile and a wave.

"Hey, Angelo!", Lita said with a wink and smile.

"Oh, Tommy!", Mina said with a sad expression on her face. "You've replaced me with another blonde? How could you? I thought we had something special!", she said before Will paused the video.

"Angelo?", Hay Lin questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Ricky?", Taranee questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Tommy?", Cornelia questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Former girl I used to date.", the three boys said.

"And I'm sure Mina's faking the sadness.", Tommy added before Will unpaused the video to show Mina laugh along with Lita and Ami.

"I'm sorry!", Mina laughed in video. "I just could resist!", she said before the view switched to that of Serena and Rei.

"Sorry, guys.", Rei said with a smile. "But I have to admit, it was funny. Mean, but funny."

"Totally funny!", Serena said with a grin. "Anywho, even though you'll be seeing this a few days later, we'd just like to wish you and your girlfriends a Happy Valentine's Day!", she said doing the hand gesture she does as Sailor Moon to which the guys understood before the video ended.

"Well, that was fun.", Scott replied with a grin.

"But you know something, I didn't realise it until now but I think you have a thing for blondes, dude.", Ricky said causing Tommy to look at Ricky with a warning glare. "What? I'm just saying."

"Maybe so.", Sho said. "But I'll have to admit that he's real happy with you, Cornelia.", he said making Cornelia smile as she grabbed onto Tommy's arm making him smile.

"Now as for you!", Angelo said grabbing a pillow from the couch he was sitting on. "Have at thee!", he said as he threw the pillow at Will followed by Ricky and Tommy.

All three pillows hit Will knocking her off the beanbag chair she was sitting on.

"You had that one coming.", Tommy said with a smirk as the red-head sat back in the beanbag chair.

"Still worth it!", Will said with a smile as Ricky and Tommy's cell phone rang.

"What the...?", the both of them questioned as they answered their cells to see that it was a text.

"I got a text from, Hank.", Ricky said checking his text.

"I got one from Rosseta.", Tommy said checking his text.

"No way!", Ricky said reading the text again.

"It finally happened.", Tommy said.

"What finally happened?", Cornelia asked.

"Let me put it to you like this.", Ricky said to Cornelia. "If you were to marry Tommy one day and I were to marry Taranee, you two ladies would be sisters.", he said with a smirk.

"Huh?", Irma questioned.

"He actually popped the questioned?", Scott asked Ricky who nodded.

"And she said yes?", Sho asked Tommy who nodded.

"Well, it's about time!", Angelo said.

"Wait! You mean that Hank asked Rosseta to marry him?", Cornelia questioned.

"Yes.", Tommy answered.

"And Rosseta said yes!", Ricky said getting cheers from the others.

"I see us going to a wedding!", Will said.

"I so have to pick a good dress for the wedding!", Cornelia said getting excited.

"So how does it feel to know that you and Ricky are going to be brother soon?", Irma questioned.

"The same way Cornelia would feel if you and her were going to be sisters.", Taranee said with a grin followed by Cornelia shivering getting a laugh out of the others.

"As long as my sister is happy then I'm happy.", Tommy said. "Even if it means being related to Ricky.", he joked.

"Oh ha, ha! Very funny.", Ricky said with a smirk.

"All joking aside, I say this calls for a celebration.", Scott said.

"I agree!", Sho said.

"Then let's have a special dinner to celebrate.", Hay Lin suggested. "Tommy and Ricky can pick what we eat."

"Spanish!", Tommy said.

"Barbecue!", Ricky said.

"Spanish and barbecue it is.", Angelo said. "We can grill up some food in the Kitchen while cooking some Spanish dishes."

"Then let's get cooking!", Hay Lin said as she headed for the Kitchen with the others behind her.

And so ends another Valentine's Day weekend for not only our heroes but all those around the world. For love never dies. It may be today, tomorrow, or some time in the future, love will strike and you'll find that special somebody.

You just have to open your eyes and see.
