A/N: The final chapter, really short and whatnot... Sequel in the works. If I get just one review on this story, I'll be happy and I'll post the sequel. I know it was really short, but who likes long stories nowadays?

(The next day)
"Thanks man, for coming with us today." Halley grinned over at Eyeball as they walked along the street with Nova and Scott. She had a doctor's appointment and wanted someone to go with her.

"It's not a problem Halley, it's good to do something without the gang there, you know? Even if it was sitting in a waiting room." the two laughed and stopped behind the Blue Point Diner. Scott was sniffing at one of the trash cans and something started hissing. "What the hell?"

"Oh my god! It's a cat! Pick it up!" Halley held the dogs away from the trash cans as Eyeball bent down and picked up the hissing ball of fur.

"Little shit keeps biting me." he complained as he stood up with the cat in his arms.

"Yeah, but he's so cute. Hey! I have an idea! Let's keep him." she smiled and closed the gap between them to pet the stray.

"Sure, let's just take him back to your house." they were all smiles as the cat dozed in Eyeball's arms on the way to Halley's house.

"I know I should have asked sooner, but what is your real name? It's Richard, right?" Halley asked as Nova ran ahead with Scott hot on her heels.

"Yeah. You know, as lame as it sounds, you can call me that if you want. Everyone just kind of calls me 'Eyeball.'" the dogs were sitting on Halley's porch and she blushed.

"That town picnic thing is happening now…" she motioned for Eyeball to follow her inside, which he gladly did. He set the cat down on the floor and it inspected the living room.

"Do you want to go?" he asked following her into the kitchen. There was a note on the table and Halley smiled at it.

"I don't mind staying here. Besides, my father's there. He'll be gone all day… We'll have the house to ourselves…." they were standing so close, Halley could almost feel his heart beating faster.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked, dropping his hands to her hips and pressing their bodies together.

"That all depends can yo-" there was a knock at the door, startling them both. "Who is it?"

"It's Ace, open up." Halley shoved Eyeball away and ran to the front door.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She stood on the porch with him.

"I came here to apologize. My attitude yesterday was bad. I just… I just wanted to be recognized as a hero… You know? Finding a body that three counties are looking for. That's pretty heavy." Halley wrapped her arms around Ace and rubbed his back.

"Why do you need everyone's approval?" she pulled away and looked up at him. He smiled at her and put his hand on top of her head.

"What do you think of me?" Ace asked, catching Halley by surprise as they walked back into the house. Eyeball crept through the kitchen door as he heard his best friend's voice.

"I think you're a pretty radioactive guy, but you have a short temper. What is this about?" they sat down in the living room and Halley glanced toward the kitchen. She had seen Eyeball leave.

"I know it's not much," Ace kept pacing around - was he doing the right thing? Was he just being crazy? - Halley looked up at him as his hands fidgeted "Halley. You're literally the only girl in town that isn't a total nut job. I like being around you. You do something to me that I don't know how to - Oh here."

Ace got frustrated and put a small box in her hands. Halley gasped. In the box was a golden ring with a small stone in the center. She looked up at him, but he was facing away from her. From what she knew of him, this was way out of character for him. She slipped the ring on her finger and grinned at how well it fit. He still had his back to her when she wrapped her arms around his torso and held her left hand out so he could see the ring.

"I think I'm going to get a job at the diner since everyone seems to go there anyway. I think I'll make some money there." Ace turned as Halley spoke. "Before we moved here, I went with my cousin and his girl to Las Vegas where they got married for only $87."

"We can do that. Do you remember everything that money was spent on? If we have enough between the two of us, we can pack and leave by tomorrow morning. What do you say?" Ace was all smiles at that moment.

"Well, I know the dress was $25. I think when we moved, my mother's dress was brought with us… I can wear that… It was another $25 for renting the chapel with all the flowers, candles and everything else…$14 total for the bridal bouquet, two corsages and three boutonnieres… $10 for wedding photos… $8 for a one-night stay at the Hotel Last Frontier and then, finally $5 for the marriage license." Halley explained as she sat back down on the couch.

"So we'd only need $62. Plus there's gas. So yeah, we're looking at about $90. I've got about fifty or so stashed away. Where are you going?" Ace looked up at Halley as she ran into the kitchen and picked up her phone.

"Calling my cousin…. Yes, hello, can you please patch me through to Mr. Arthur Edmonds, please? His sister Halley…. Thank you." Halley grinned at Ace as he sat on her couch, looking nervous. "Artie! How are you cousin?… I'm doing great. Look, I need your help…. No, my father doesn't know…I hadn't planned on telling him until we got back… So, will you?… Oh thank you Artie! You're the best!… I'll see you in a few days. Give Gina my love."

"What was that just now?" Ace asked, walking into the kitchen. Halley kissed his lips and looked up at him.

"My cousin - the one that got married - says he'll take care of everything. All we have to do is show up with the wedding party. This has been the best summer ever!" They stood there in an embrace, both smiling.

That part about the cost of a wedding, I read in a book about the 50's that at the Last Frontier, that was how much a couple's wedding cost. Cool right? If you read the whole thing, thanks for reading it, I hope you loved reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it...
