Chapter 28

(Last one guys and Gals!)

"I had forgotten how beautiful Outset Island is when the sun is setting." Ciela mummers, resting against Linebeck's chest on the cliff.

It had been little over a year since the beginning of the Trio Quest. Linebeck and Ciela had just returned from treasure hunting and were spending time together on the cliff. In the fading light, the couple could spot Link and Tetra sitting out on the porch of Link's home. One of Link's arms is slug around Tetra's shoulders while the other is resting on his wife's very swollen stomach.

Aryll is currently sailing with Tetra's pirates, serving as the Hyrule's Dragon's temporary captain while Tetra rides out her last two months of her pregnancy.

Beck is currently residing in New Hyrule, managing the Linebeck's Trading company. To explain his very close resemblance to Linebeck, they told everyone that Beck was a very distant, long-lost relative of Linebeck's. He was also on Outset Island to visit Ruby's grave during the week she had died. He was currently bunking with Linebeck and Ciela on the S.S. Linebeck.

Link's own dear sweet Grandma had passed away in her sleep eight months after the Trio Quest.

Ciela breathes in deeply and sighs, closing her eyes. "At this very moment," She says, "Everything is perfect."

"And why is that?" Linebeck queries, bending his head to look at his girlfriend.

"Well, I'm with the man I love, my family is only a call away, the day is beautiful, and it's just," Ciela opens her eyes, sighing happily again. "Everything is just perfect."

"Well, then I think so too, Sparkles." Linebeck agrees, softly spinning Ciela's head so he could softly kiss her lips.

Ciela quickly kisses back before giggling and standing up to walk to the edge of the cliff. She closes her eyes again and tilts her head upward, letting the last few rays of the sun soak into her skin.

Linebeck reclines back, content to just look at Ciela.

A sea-wind blows through, playing with the hem of Ciela's yellow, bare-back sundress and the fire red locks of Ciela's hair, which was now past her shoulders.

The golden rays light up Ciela's hair, illuminating the red-orange steaks in her hair.

Linebeck's eyes stop on the pale eight pointed scar that was cold to the touch, on Ciela's back. His own, smaller replica twinges as he gazes at the scar. A lasting reminder of when the pair tangled with the female krakken.

"You're staring again." Came Ciela's sing-song voice.

"Am not." Linebeck immediately denies.

"You were too!" Ciela says. "I could feel it!"

"You could feel it huh?" Linebeck replies, getting up as a smirk begins to cover his face. He walks up behind Ciela and encircles his arms around her waist, trapping her. He begins to nuzzle her neck. "Can you feel this?"

Ciela laughs, trying to escape Linebeck. "Cut that out, it tickles! And yes I can feel it!"

Linebeck laughs and rests his head on Ciela's shoulder.

Ciela smiles and rests her head on Linebeck's. "Goddesses, this moment is so perfect."

Linebeck smiles too and suddenly his mind flashes to the small black box in his sea jacket pocket.

"I want to ask her at the right moment." He thinks. "Why not now?"

His right hand releases Ciela to reach into his pocket.

"Ciela." He begins. "There's been something I've wanted to ask you." He brings out the box.

"Yes Linebeck?" Ciela asks, opening her eyes.

Linebeck brings the black velvet box in front of Ciela, flipping it open, letting the diamond fairy within show.

As the last bit of the sun disappears beneath the horizon, Linebeck whispers four words into Ciela's ear.

"Will you marry me?"

The End

…

*WARNING LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE!*

You all hate me now, don't cha? And yes this is the end of the story.

The end of Is It Really You?... *laughs* there was somedays I thought I would never finish it and yet, here I am. writing my final author's note.

First of all. Thank you Icearrows. as I have said before you were wonderful reviewer, was always willing to help out. Some parts of IIRY would never had happened if you hadn't help me along. Heck! Is It Really You? probably wouldn't have came this far without Icearrows! You are truly amazing.

Another thing. I have written the very last chapter of the series on the computer. Yup the very last chapter of the Really series is written write here on the computer even if the series isn't completely written on here. And I'm not going to lie to you guys. I was crying tears of joy and sadness when I wrote it. I'm going to be a mess when the time comes to have it posted.

Which brings me to another point.

A little over a year ago was when I first posted Is It Really You? Back then There was no Ruby, No Beck, No Prince Link, nothing that was in the very first few chapters. I didn't plan for my first ever-written fan-fic to become a 28 chapter fic. I was going to write 3 or 4 chapters and that was it. Nothing else. And then Just coming home at like 2 in the morning I was hit with the most amazing idea which became Is It Really You? Even as late as it was, I grabbed a few sheets of paper and a pencil and began jotting down the basic chapter outline for IIRY? Then, Once that was done, I finally collapse into bed around 3 AM. (then woke up an hour later and was sick. STUPID CRABS!) anyway, even then I didn't plan for the three sequels that would hit me in the beginning of High School. From then I used my old planners to flesh out ideas while my new high school planner was my Chapter planning. I now have complete back-stories on my Characters, spin-off stories explaining more, and just a enormous amount of stuff that I never planned for. IIRY? changed a lot and I think for the better.

Thanks to IIRY? I have also changed a lot as a writer. If you were one of the few that read my first few chapters you can agree that my writing has changed a lot. For much, much, much better. I have a 126 page story that was just about done, and when I read it today, I wince. Many times. My main character was so Mary-Sue, Characters were so OOC, it was almost like a MUSICAL and the plot holes. My God, the plot holes... But it also helps me because I know I became better from it. I'm actually going to see if you guys would want to have me post it on FanFiction with my comments in the story writings, so you could see how bad it is. If you guys want me to do it and read it, let me know.

So yeah, thanks for those you kept track of IIRY? and I'll hopefully see you all in the sequel, Siblings Are Really Forever.

P.S. I hope you had the time of your life! ;)
