I'm so sorry but my internet connection has been out for five days. So I couldn't update, I hope you can forgive me.

"I would like to say something." Sky said from his chair and everyone turned their attention to him. About an hour ago everyone had gotten released from the hospital and had head down to the café, where Helia told his friends about Flora for the first time. Helia squeezed Flora's hand as they all turned their heads towards Sky." I think we should give ourselves a hand. Not many people could go through what we have gone through and come out of it stronger then ever." Everyone nodded around the table in agreement.

"I also think we should treat ourselves with a shopping spree, get some new clothes, shoes… oh and also some new purses too. It is of course the only right way to celebrate." Stella added, drifting off thinking about all the things she could buy on her shopping spree.

"Be honest Stella, you are going on a shopping spree no matter what." Layla said and Stella just smiled.

"You right." She answered shameless and the others laughed at her.

"No matter how we choose to celebrate, I think the most important thing is that we all are together. If we can make it through this we can make it through anything, cheers everyone." Sky lifted his glass and everyone joined him.

"Cheers." The next few minutes flew by with laughter and joy. Helia got up and got in line to buy another cop of hot chocolate when Flora came up to him smiling like a little sun, he hadn't seen her this happy for a long time and it warmed his heart.

"And to believe I once thought this would never be possible." Flora said looking over at their friends, while he put an arm around her shoulders.

"What?" He asked a little confused to what she was referring to.

"This! Our friends getting along having a good time together. "He looked over at the table and he could see what she meant; Stella was sitting on Brandon's lap with her arms around his neck, while she was telling Sky and Bloom about something he couldn't hear from where he was. Nabu who was holding hands with Layla were in what seemed like a deep conversation with Musa Riven and of course Layla also. Tecna and Timmy were sitting close together, while Tecna showed him something on her phone.

"I know what you mean; we have come a long way since our first dinner together."

"The trix has brought us closer to together."

"I think if you tell them that, they would be even angrier."

"You are probably right about that." He looked down at her as she spoke, but he wasn't listening to what she was saying anymore. Because he was deep in thoughts, thinking about how things right now were perfect. He had ten great friends he trusted with his life, friends like that didn't grow on trees and then there was Flora.

She was the thing he most treasured in his life, he didn't know if it was destiny that he had met her or just some very lucky coincidence. No matter what it were he couldn't be more thankful for it, he really loved her and he knew that she felt the same way about him. He knew that this was just the beginning of something wonderful and he couldn't wait to see what came next for them.

Seven years later

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said and Helia kissed Flora while family and friends started to cheer, finally had they gotten each other after two failed attempts. The first time around they had everything ready and the week before the wedding Flora's mother got cancer and Flora wanted to wait. Two years after that Flora's mother were cancer free and they started planning again but then Helia got offed to travel two years with some of the best artist in the world. He of course couldn't say no and asked Flora to join him, she did and they had sat the wedding plans on standby again.

Now a year after traveling they were marrying in the same spot they first met, in the woods. Helia and Flora grinned as they made their way down the red carpet and into the car waiting for them. Brandon stood a moment and looked after the car as it made its way to the reception, time went by so fast it only felt like yesterday him and Stella got married. It had only taken Brandon a year after the battle before he proposed to Stella and not long after that they had a magnificent the wedding.

"Brandon can you hold him for a minute?" Stella asked him and brought him back to the present. He turned around to face her and saw she was handing him Nathaniel. He smiled and took their one year old son from her as they made their way to their car, where the chauffeur was waiting for them. Nathaniel was the whole family's pride and joy, Brandon and Stella loved their little son and so did both set of grandparents. He secured Nathaniel to his car seat and then got in the car himself with Stella.

"I can't believe Flora and Helia are the last ones of all of us to get married." Brandon said to his wife and Stella smiled to him.

"I know, I always thought Musa and Riven was going to be the last ones." She said while pulling down in her skirt a little as she looked back at the day she had spent with her friends. Everyone was busy with their lives so it was nice getting together again; Flora of course had looked gorgeous in the wedding dress she herself designed and Nathaniel had been very quiet under the ceremony. Stella owned her own designer line of clothes and shoes which was going pretty well, but was on leave after having her son and didn't quite know yet been she was ready to return.

"It is not the first time we are wrong, we also thought Bloom and Sky were going to have a child before us." Bloom and Sky had become a real power couple with Bloom being the crown princess of Domino and Sky being the king of Eraklyon. They had gotten married a few weeks after Brandon and Stella got engaged, both were pretty happy with the way things were. Though they had been trying to have a kid for about two years now, but they wasn't in a hurry so they just took things as they came.

"True. Anyway the nanny is waiting for us when we arrive to take Nathaniel, so we can enjoy the rest of the wedding." She reminded him excited about this; it was their first time out with their friends without the Baby.

"Sounds great." He said smiling, she made it sound like it was no big deal now but he knew as soon as it came to actually doing it wasn't going to be. Stella used at least half an hour dropping their son off with the nanny or with anybody ells, there was just a few things she had to tell the person before she handed him over. He really didn't mind, he actually thought it was adorable.

He just felt lucky to have her by his side. Of course there had been times were it had been hard like when Stella first started her line and he had to go away to Eraklyon to help Sky with something. When he had gotten back home he wanted to surprise her and came home early only to find Stella sitting and having dinner with some guy she hadn't told him about. Now he wasn't the jealous type but the whole thing felt fishy to him, if it was nothing why didn't she tell him about it.

And when Stella didn't come up with an answer for why, Brandon decided to stay with his mother and father for the time being. He hadn't want to talk to her the two first day because he was trying to clear his head, but the third day his mother had forced him to hear her out. Turns out the guy were a party planer she was using to plan Brandon's surprised birthday party, which was why she couldn't tell him why. After she had told him that he felt really stupid and apologized to her, and they went back home together.

His life with Stella wasn't perfect but it was pretty close to, and he knew he would never regret saying 'I do' to her. Because without Stella there were no the rest of his life, she were his life.

Meanwhile Bloom and Sky was already at the reception having a good time. They snuck out on one of the balcony to enjoy the view and get some alone time, which they hadn't had much of lately. "So is this the last wedding we are going to go to, for a long time?" Sky asked hopeful, they had been to so many weddings lately he could barely keep up with them all. Helia and Flora's was one of the few he had actually been looking forward to.

"No we still have my sister's but then we are done." Bloom said sympathetic, she knew exactly what he meant.

"Daphne seems happy with Jeff." He knew Bloom didn't really care for Jeff but Daphne seemed to be head over heels for him and as long as she was happy, Bloom was going to accept him.

"Yes that is all that matters." Other than her dislike for her sister's future husband, Bloom's personal and family life had really come together and she was happy as could be. Her and Sky was living on Eraklyon since they had decided to live their end till Bloom had to take over the throne of Domino, and then they would divide their time between the two kingdoms. But that wasn't going to happen in the nearest future which she was grateful for since they had been pretty busy ever since Sky four years ago had become king.

"Are you two enjoying yourself?" Bloom and Sky turned their heads towards the double doors, to be presently surprise to see Timmy and Tecna.

"Yes we are." Sky answered as Tecna and Timmy walked up next to them.

"How is the house hunting going?" Bloom asked, remembering Tecna mentioned they were looking for a house last time they talked.

"Not very well, all the houses we have looked at are … unusual." Tecna said, thinking about all the houses they had looked at.

"To say the least. What happened to normal family homes where there is a garden with grass and maybe a terrace, and not a swimming pool with a jungle around it? "Timmy complained referring to the last house they saw, and Bloom and Sky chuckled. Tecna and Timmy had decided to tie the knot about three years ago. It had seemed to be the next logical step to them, after moving in together. Now they felt like they had out grown their little two bedroom apartment. But Timmy hadn't thought it was going to be this hard or complicated, finding a house they both liked.

"Guess that means, you are staying in your apartment a little longer." Bloom stated the obvious and both Tecna and Timmy nodded.

"What did you think of the ceremony?" Tecna asked. Of course though Flora and Helia's wedding was a happy occasion but with them being the last ones of the close group of friends that also meant they there were no more weddings that insured them to see each other about once a year. Of course they saw each other more than once a year but the weddings had also served as a certain kind of insurance that they were going to see each other.

"It was beautiful, especially the vows." There hadn't been an eye dry after Helia had finished his vows. If you had doubted Helia loved Flora before and his motives for marrying her, you wouldn't anymore after hearing him speak and seeing the way he looked at her.

"Yes Helia sure do have a way with words." Timmy agreed.

"We should probably get back to the party." Sky said and they walked back into the party to find their table with the others.

"Where is Meredith?" Musa asked Layla and Nabu as they sat down at the table with her. Layla smiled exhausted to her and said.

"She is with the Nanny at the hotel sleeping." Layla and Nabu had gotten married shortly after the battle, two years later little Meredith came into the picture. Meredith was now four and quite a handful at times, and not to mention she was spoiled by her parents and their friends. Layla had been busy with taking care of Meredith and being queen, her father decided he wanted to retired and enjoy the time he had left.

"Don't get me wrong a love my daughter the way she are, but she never seem to stop being full of energy. Isn't there some sort of pill that can slow her down a little or possibly make her tired?" Nabu asked in a joking manner.

"I'm sure there is but I think it is probably illegal to give kids that kind of pills, because you can't handle a four year old." Riven answered him and sat down beside Musa.

"Oh you think it is funny now, just wait till it is your turn."

"That is not going to happen any time soon." Musa said, waving her hands in front of her. Her and Riven's relationship had been rocky and a lot of that had to do with their line of work. Musa's band was doing very well and had hat a few hits on the charts; Musa was living her dream going on tours with the guys while Riven was in the army. After the battle Riven had decided that he wanted to join the army it hadn't been easy at first but he had in proved himself and took now orders without a problem. But with Musa on tour and him living on base, they didn't get to spend much time together but they had made it work after they got married since Musa now could live with him on base.

"What is not going to happen any time soon?" Bloom asked as she and Sky joined the table with Tecna and Timmy right behind them.

"Musa and me having children." Riven explained to them, they had just gotten married a little over two years ago and that hadn't exactly been planned. They had fought a lot at the moment and when he got deployed again things had exploded. Musa felt like he was leaving her and she was scared to death she wasn't going to see him again and Riven did not like her being on tour with five men while he was away, especially when he found out Hunter would be joining them. When Riven stated that fact to her, she had been furious and hurt that he didn't trust her while he was away.

He defended himself with lot of a girlfriends get lonely while their boyfriends was deployed out and only the wife was the most faithful in that situation. Musa then said sarcastically so I have to marry you before you trust me? And he answered in all seriousness it would make him feel a lot better knowing she was his wife, so they should do it. Musa of course got offended and denied talking to him the rest of the day, after she had stormed out on him. He then knew he had screwed up big time.

So the morning after Riven was outside her apartment door with an 'I'm sorry' sign and she couldn't help but forgive him and just as she had said I forgive you, Riven turned the sign around. Now there stood will you marry me, and that came as a surprise to her since she was sure he didn't really mean what he said yesterday. But regardless that was how they two weeks before he got deployed again got married, it had surprised all of their friends a little and everyone had want to make sure they did it for the right reasons. Yes they still fought from time to time about things but as Musa one time said, you are the only one I want to fight with for the rest of my life, and Riven couldn't agree more.

"Wise." Timmy acknowledged.

"So is everyone having fun?" Everyone turned to their right to see Flora and Helia smiling to their friends.

"Yes we are." Brandon said as he and Stella joined everyone at the table as the last ones." How about you two?"

"Yes we are." Helia answered still standing up because they had to mingle with all of the other guess too, so they couldn't talk for long.

"Especially since all the planning is over, I don't think I couldn't stand a week more of planning." Flora added; she had been so stressed these last couple of weeks. She was really relived that it was over now but it had definitely been worth it.

"Well you really did a good job." Stella complemented her and Flora looked at Helia and smiled dreamy at him.

"Thank you, but all that really matters is that I finally got Helia."

"Now all we have to do is live happily ever after." Helia said and kissed his new bride while their friends made whistling sounds, and made comments like 'get a room' and 'save some for the honeymoon'. Helia and Flora parted and giggled at their friends. Yes everything was going good for everyone now they just needed to live happily ever after and to think all of this started with a summerfling.

I know it is a little nonrealistic that they all get marry, but it is my story and I'm a sucker for happy endings. Thanks for sticking through all of this with me. Through all the miss spellings and capitalization errors, not to mentioned the delay in the updates. I hope you will read another one of my stories another time or follow when I decide to write a new one.

Please review, tell me what you think about the story overall and maybe what you would had liked to seen more off. Once again I'm grateful to all of you who took time to review and it means a lot to me. I can clearly remember that day, the end of summer when the first line came to me and before I knew it I had wrote the whole first chapter.

Till next time.

Make up your mind :)
