Hello, everyone! Finally, the epilogue of 'Sing Me A Song' is here!

For this chapter, I moved all my gratitude and final author's note to the end of the story.

Hope you enjoy this epilogue and sorry for any mistakes as well as the short length.

Epilogue

The trail in the woods that Roxas and Xion took every morning was peaceful, filled with the chirps of songbirds and the delightful crunch of dried leaves under their shoes.

Leaves of the surrounding trees were starting to turn into various shades of red, yellow and brown; a sign of an early autumn.

Xion Zayas adjusted the scarf around her neck, making sure to cover up as much as possible; she could feel the cold breeze nipping at her skin.

She and Roxas were walking hand in hand, towards their school like they did every morning. They've been officially dating after the singing competition and there was never a day that either one of them wakes up without a content smile on their faces.

"Isn't it fast? It felt as if we've gone to the beach only yesterday, but now, autumn is already here." The ravenette asked the boy beside her, smiling at the memories of the fun summer vacation with their friends.

Roxas Hikari smiled back and nodded. "Yeah. Time sure flies; summer has come and gone. Hey, at least we had a good time, while it lasted. The holiday coupons you guys won helped us cover a bit of the cost."

Xion nodded in agreement. "I know right? I'm quite surprised that Mr. Xemnas gave us such a great prize. Not that I'm complaining, but I thought the medal and flowers were the only rewards."

The blond merely chuckled. "Hard to imagine too. There are always rumors that the principle is quite cheap. Oh! I recall we still have one coupon left. It offers 10% off for the hot springs resort over at Christmas Town if I remember correctly."

"Really?! I heard their hot springs are top-notch. It'll be a great place to go during Christmas." Xion's eyes sparkled at the thought of enjoying an open-air hot spring with her friends while drinking a hot beverage.

"Christmas Town is quite far from here. We might need Axel to drive us there, cause I don't think the train reach that far." Roxas stated.

"Don't worry about that. I'm sure Axel would tag along, and he'll invite Larxene too." Xion simply replied.

"They're still going strong?"

"Of course they are! I already told you and the others that Axel and Larxene have liked each other since 5 years ago. I know Larxene looks terrifying and likes to hit Axel a lot, but I can see he's truly happy; he's serious about this relationship." The ravenette grinned, glad that her brother had also found his true love. "All we need to do now is wait for the marriage~"

"Then comes a baby in the baby carriage." Roxas chuckled at the mental image of a confused Axel changing baby diapers, but he knew the red-haired man would be a great dad.

The couple continued their walk to town in a comfortable silence before Roxas requested, "Hey, Xion. Can you write me another song?"

Xion gave her boyfriend a puzzled look. "Oh? Why all a sudden?"

"It's nothing. I guess I just miss you singing for me, that's all." The blond grinned when he noticed the girl's cheeks flushed pink.

"Well~" Xion uttered before releasing her hand from his. Roxas pouted at the sudden loss of her warmth but said nothing as he watched her.

Xion turned to face him with a playful grin. "I will write you a new one if-" Suddenly, the ravenette turned on her heels and dashed down the leafy path, yelling at the top of her lungs. "-you can beat me to town first!"

Roxas laughed when he realized what his girlfriend was playing. Without another word, he chased after her with a playful smile of his own.

"Yay! I won!"

"No fair, Xion! You had a head start."

Both of their laughter filled the autumn air as the leaves covered the ground in amber.

Finally, all Readers, old and new:

Thank you for finding my story interesting (and worth your precious time) to read. I'm truly grateful to all of you, and I'm also truly sorry that I (most possibly) annoyed you with my poor English. Especially on the grammar.

Once again, thank you. This story would be nothing without all you lovely, wonderful people.

Some final words:

All journeys end somewhere, and the journey for this story ends here. It had been quite a ride and I enjoyed writing and sharing this story with you all.

As I mentioned in the previous chapter's Author's Note, I will start a full revision, which hopefully will make the story better and easier to read. Another reason is because I will be adding this story to my AO3 account. Do note it will only be a revision and not a re-write.

EDIT: I have started the revision. Progress of the review is stated in the story description.

My next Kingdom Hearts fanfic would be under the name, 'The Charming and The Witch', a gender-twist and my take on the Disney's movie, 'Beauty and the Beast'. It will be a multi-chaptered story; having 20 chapters so far. I hope to hear from you in my new story. :D

Thank you all for reading! Remember to review and fav if you enjoy my story.
