Jacin sighed and stared at the sky. It was finally sunny. Jacin, Winter, Thorne, and Cress, were going to go on a picnic together in the new park Queen Cinder installed in memory to those who had lost their lives in the Lunar Revolution. In the middle of the park, there was a statue of Maha Kesley, and below, a list of names of the fallen rebel Lunar soldiers. It was approved by many, even the Earthens.

Jacin sighed contently. After explaining the whole story to the crew, Winter had announced to everyone that she was the one who had started everything, and happily hugged Cress and Jacin both.

"I can't believe it, Cress! When Jacin and I marry, you'll be related to me! And since Selene is my cousin, you'll be related to her!" Cinder smiled and shook her head at Winter's crazy family tree.

"I'm glad you found your family, Cress," Cinder smiled, and leaned into Kai.

"Wow, I can't believe it Cress. Who would have thought that the stone statue was related to you?" Thorne had replied, cocky as ever. Jacin had only smiled, and playfully punched Thorne in the arm. Thorne wasn't as bad as Jacin had thought. His sister chose right. And speaking of which, Jacin snapped out of his daydream, and pulled Thorne over to him rather forcefully.

"Hey Jacin, what the heck was that for," Thorne grumbled. Jacin raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well, since your dating my sister, and my twin sister at that, I take it upon my responsibility to look out for any hooligans that might hurt her. And that includes you, Carswell." Jacin gave Thorne a piercing stare, and Thorne shifted uncomfortably.

"Hey come on Jacin, you know that I love Cress as much as you do. But in a couple way, not sisterly or brotherly," Thorne added quickly. "And besides, I would never hurt her."

"You better make sure of that, or I will personally make sure you will suffer for the rest of your life, got it?" Jacin threatened. Thorne gulped, and nodded.

"Jacin, you won't have to worry about a thing. Cress is as safe with me as she is with you," Thorne went for a weak smile.

"And Jacin, I was going to ask you something. I already talked to your dad about it, but I wanted you to know too." Jacin raised his eyebrows and cocked his head.

"What is it?" Jacin inquired.

"Well," Thorne began, "Cress and I haven't known each other long, but I feel something with her that I haven't felt with any other girls. Cress is the same with me, we talked about it together. And I think that we both want to take our relationship to another level. So I bought this," Here Thorne took out a small, white box, and Jacin took it from him, opening it to reveal a beautiful crescent shaped diamond ring.

Jacin breathed in and said softly,"It's beautiful, it matches Cress so well," Thorne sighed, and replied,"So, yes, I want to propose to Cress, and I want you to be okay with it. I know what you said in your speech earlier, and I take that to heart. I would rather die than watch Cress being hurt.

"So with that, do you approve me proposing to Cress?" Thorne asked cautiously. Jacin seemed to ponder this for a long time, and suddenly smiled. "Yes Thorne, I 100% approve of it. Your background tells me otherwise, but now that I've gotten to know you, you are a truly kind person, and I would trust you with Cress."Jacin smiled, thinking of Cress, who was an amazing sibling, as Jacin had found out over the past couple weeks. Super supportive of his doctor dream, and even getting him an internship for his 17th birthday. Jacin, in return, had gotten Cress a new portscreen, the latest model.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Jacin suddenly demanded. Thorne, shocked by Jacin's outburst, jumped. "Cress is waiting for her knight in shining armour to come propose to her! Come on!" Jacin dragged Thorne over the hill to where Cress and Winter were waiting on a checkered blanket. Cress could only stare at the sight of her brother dragging a very disgruntled Thorne towards them. Something was wrong. Cress couldn't place it. Jacin's seriousness, he was only like that now when he was on duty. or maybe Thorne's nervousness, something Thorne NEVER was.

Thorne stared at Cress for a full minute, it seemed like, until Jacin nudged Thorne, reminding him what he was doing. Snapped out of his nervousness, and yes, the Captain was nervous, Thorne slowly got down on one knee. Cress and Winter gasped at the same time.

"Cress, I'm just going to cut to the point. Your beautiful, amazing, and sweet. I couldn't ask for anything more in a soul mate. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Cress, even if it does mean having to spend time with your overprotective brother," Cress smiled and Winter clasped her hands over her heart and sighed. Meanwhile, Jacin mock glared.

"So, without further ado, Cress, will you have the honour of being my wife?" Thorne glanced up at Cress, and from her crazy smile, he could already tell what the answer was. From behind Thorne, Jacin smiled at Cress, his sister, encouragingly.

It was a start of a new beginning. No more lies, only the truth, and only family.
