"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Rusty yelled over the loud voices.

The bus suddenly became very quiet.

"Thank you. Now," he said taking a deep breath. "This is my last spring break and this year I'm going to do it right. The first year I got sunburned and went home early, the second was all about the KT and Omega Chi plan, last year I was too stressed on getting the house back in order I didn't allow myself to have any fun. But this year, this year is different. This year I'm going to get it right. And I hope all my brothers are with me!"

"YEAH!" yelled all the brothers as they threw their hands in the air.

"Good, then I say to you bus driver," he said as he turned to the driver. "Off to Myrtle Beach we go!"

The old Kappa Tau school bus sputtered a few anxious times but eventually started and they were off.

"I can't believe you made me go on this bus with you," said Ashleigh as Rusty sat down in the seat next to her. "I feel like a chaperone to some of your pledges this year."

"Now I gave you the option of going on your own," said Rusty as he put his arm around her. "But you said you wanted to spend as much time with me as possible. So in turn, this is the way you have to travel. It's my last spring break and I'm not giving up on tradition now."

"I understand," said Ashleigh as she put her hand on Rusty's leg. "I just hope you guys make frequent stops. I don't have the biggest bladder you know."

Rusty laughed. "I have become very aware of your small bladder in the year and three months we've been dating Ash and I have another couple weeks until I'm no longer president so when I say stop, we stop."

"Mmmmm….I love a guy with power," said Ashleigh seductively as she leaned over and kissed Rusty.

"I'm just glad you were able to get the week off work to join me," said Rusty as he backed away.

"Me too," said Ashleigh. "Clarissa did ask me to be on the lookout though for any marketing techniques I see so I guess I'll be secretly working a little bit."

"As long as it doesn't interfere with our time you can do whatever you want," said Rusty as he smiled at her.

"Speaking of time," said Ashleigh looking at her watch. "Did you find out what time everyone else was going to arrive?"

"I believe Casey and Cappie are already there," Rusty replied. "Calvin and Heath arrive tomorrow and I'm not sure about Dale, he never got back to me."

"Oh he and Laura are going to get there tonight," said Ashleigh. "And they're bringing Rebecca."

"What about Evan?" Rusty asked.

"Long story," Ashleigh said rolling her eyes. "I never know whether those two are together as a couple or 'fun buddies' or friends or whatever."

"Don't tell me he gave her the whole too busy with law school thing again and that's why he couldn't come," said Rusty.

"Pretty much from what she told me," said Ashleigh with a sigh.

"That's a load of crap then," said Rusty. "Beaver said Katherine had plenty of time to go. I think they are flying in this afternoon."

"Spitter!" Spidey yelled from the back of the bus. "We're playing Pledge Bingo! Get back here and play!"

Rusty turned to Ashleigh who nodded her head. "Go ahead, I brought plenty of magazines to read and music to listen to," she said pulling her IPod out of her purse.

"You sure?" Rusty asked.

"Go," she said smiling at him.

Rusty leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before standing up and heading to the back of the bus.

"Wait until you see this room I booked us Case," said Cappie as he and Casey walked out of the elevator at the hotel. "It's supposed to have a beautiful view of the ocean."

"Room with an ocean view huh?" asked Casey as she pulled her suitcase behind her. "We could never afford anything like that for spring break when we were in college."

"Well this is different," said Cappie as he reached room five nineteen. "We're grownups now with real world jobs and real world money."

"True," said Casey as she watched Cappie unlock the door and walk in the room.

They first walked into a living area with a small couch, two chairs and a flat screen television. To the left was a small kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave. The bedroom and bathroom were to the right. There was a king size bed with fine linens along with another flat screen television and a couple of dresses in the bedroom.

Casey set her suitcase down on the bed and checked out the bathroom. She was admiring the wide open shower with travertine walls and an overhead shower spout when Cappie made her jump by sneaking up behind her and putting his arms around her waist.

"Are you thinking about the many naughty things we can do in this shower like I am," he whispered in her ear in a soft voice.

Casey smiled as she turned around in his arms and kissed him on the lips.

"That definitely sounds like fun," she said backing away. "But we promised Beaver and Katherine we would meet them for lunch in a half an hour."

"I can be quick," Cappie winked at her.

Casey just rolled her eyes as she playfully nudged Cappie away and walked back into the bedroom. She opened the sliding glass doors and walked out onto the balcony. The view was just as incredible as Cappie had told her it would be. They picked a hotel that was a little further away from the spring break crowd and she could tell as she could actually see the sandy beach below her instead of drunken and rowdy spring breakers covering it.

"This sure beats the run down hotel the KTs used to stay at," said Cappie as he leaned against the railing next to her.

"I thought they tore that place down," said Casey.

"Nope, apparently not," said Cappie. "But I don't think you could call it much of a hotel anymore. When Rusty called to book rooms for this year the manager told him they changed and now charge by the hour instead of the day."

Casey turned to him and laughed. "So it's like a hooker joint now?"

"Something like that," said Cappie also with a laugh. "But you know Rusty, he took charge and found another place for them to stay in no time. It's only a few blocks from here actually."

"Good," said Casey. "I haven't seen Ash in a couple of months and we need to be within walking distance of each other or else I might just go crazy."

"What? Am I not good enough to spend time with?" Cappie joked as he rolled his bottom lip out at her.

"You know I love spending time with you," said Casey as she grabbed his waist.

"Good answer," Cappie smiled as he leaned down and kissed her. "Cause you have showed me over the past year that graduation has been my best decision yet."

"Just like leaving law school was mine," said Casey as she reached up and brushed a strand of Cappie's hair out of his face.

The two of them stood there for a few seconds just smiling and staring into each other's eyes but were eventually interrupted by Casey's phone beeping. She backed away and pulled it out of her pocket.

"Katherine just texted me," she said reading it. "They should be at the hotel restaurant in five minutes."

"Well off we go then," said Cappie as he took Casey's hand and the two of them made their way down to meet Katherine and Beaver.

"Dale, can you seriously drive any slower?" Rebecca griped from the back seat of the car.

"I hope you know going the speed limit saves lives," said Dale as he looked at Rebecca in his rearview mirror.

"But your strange ability to go under the speed limit is slowly and painfully killing me," said Rebecca as she gave Dale a snotty look through the mirror.

"Can you two ever get along?" Laura asked. "I thought you guys made amends at formal last semester. You even danced together."

"Only because you made us," Rebecca mumbled under her breath.

"What did you say?" Laura asked as she turned around and looked at Rebecca.

"Nothing, just clearing my throat," Rebecca replied smiling back at Laura.

"You know, I thought the two of us made good progress when we were trying to figure out why our relationships hadn't worked out," said Dale as he pushed his glasses back up on his nose. "But you obviously just can't see the good in me Rebecca."

Rebecca just turned and looked out the window.

"Are you going to say anything Rebecca?" Laura asked. "I think my boyfriend is trying to reach out to you here."

"I'm not in the mood to talk," she said as she opened her phone to find she had no missed calls or text messages.

"This is about Evan isn't it?" Dale asked as he looked at Rebecca's sad expression in the rearview mirror.

Rebecca didn't respond again. Laura turned around again and gave a Rebecca a stern look this time around. She wanted her boyfriend and good friend to get along more than anything and Rebecca wasn't helping the situation.

"Fine," said Rebecca sensing Laura's anger building up. "I guess I'm still upset about how everything worked out. You got to jump into Laura's arms again and lavalier her and live happily ever after. I wanted that with Evan." She paused. "I'm jealous," she mumbled under her breath.

"What? Excuse me? I don't think I heard you there," said Dale knowing full well what Rebecca had said but he wanted to hear her say it louder.

"You heard me."

"No, no, I don't think I did," Dale egged her on. "I've been told I have some partial hearing loss in my left ear due to my parents taking me to—"

"Alright fine!" Rebecca yelled interrupting him. "I said that I'm jealous! There, you happy now?"

"Actually, yeah, thank you," said Dale with a smile.

Laura instantly hit him on the side of the arm. This time it was him not helping the situation.

"I don't know why you would be jealous," said Dale trying to smooth things over to make Laura happy. "I thought you and Evan patched things up after all that happened."

"We did," Rebecca replied. "But then we didn't, and then we were just friends and then it was just about sex and then we tried again but I think right now we're just back into the friends area again."

"Why all the back and forth?" Dale asked.

"I think Evan has some sort of commitment issues," said Rebecca. "It's like we get close and then he starts to pull away. Not as much as when he first started law school but enough to slow things back down again and frustrate me even more."

"Well maybe once he finishes law school he'll be ready to be more committed," said Dale. "He's only got another year right?"

"Something like that," said Rebecca as she looked at her phone again. "Can we not talk about this anymore though? I'm really trying to keep Evan out of my head and just enjoy this week with my friends and have a good time."

"You have our word, no more Evan talk," said Laura as she turned back around and faced the road.

"Good," said Rebecca. "Now can you please speed it up a little? Spring break is waiting for me."

"Katherine!" yelled Casey as she saw her and Beaver walk into the restaurant.

"Hey Casey!" exclaimed Katherine as they gave each other a hug.

"Beaver, it's been a while," said Cappie in a much calmer manner compared to the girls giving Beaver a handshake and a hug.

"It has Cap," said Beaver backing away. "How have you been?"

"Living the dream buddy," said Cappie as the four of them took their seats.

"How was your flight?" Casey asked as they looked over the menus.

"It was good actually," Katherine replied. "I was quite nervous being the first time I had been on a plane but Beaver did a good job making me feel safe."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"I still can't believe you two are together," said Casey. "I mean, it's great, don't get me wrong. I guess I never would have pictured you two together."

The waitress came over and took their orders and collected their menus.

"So Cap, how are things going with the business?" Beaver asked. "Come up with anymore catchy jingles?"

"Actually I just got put in charge of the advertising campaign for one of the hospitals near us," said Cappie. "Before I left they took me on a tour of the hospital to help me with some ideas."

"Sounds a little 'suit and tie' much for you," said Beaver.

"Oh you know Cap, he wouldn't take a job if he couldn't wear his jeans and Converse shoes to work every day," said Casey with a small laugh.

"I totally looked like Dr. House walking through the hallways," said Cappie also with a laugh. "All I needed was the cane and the limp."

"I hear the jingle you wrote for Macy's all the time on the radio," said Katherine. "I find myself humming it sometimes during the day."

"Hey, what can I say? I'm a natural," said Cappie with a smile as he leaned back in his chair.

"Let's not give him too big of a head here," said Casey as she reached over and patted Cappie on the thigh.

"How about you Beav? Those kindergarteners wear you out yet?" Cappie asked.

"Not at all," said Beaver with a smile. "They certainly keep me on my toes though. Just the other day one asked me where babies came from."

"What did you tell him?" Casey asked.

"I told him to go ask his mom," Beaver replied with a laugh.

"So does being around them all day make you want to have kids or stay as far away as possible?" Cappie asked.

"Actually I can't wait to have kids," Beaver replied as he turned to Katherine and smiled. "But we'll wait on making little Anastasia until Katherine graduates law school and we get married."

"Oh, wow, OK, um," Casey wasn't quite sure what to say hearing all these future plans come from Beaver of all people and seeing the two of them unable to keep from smiling at each other. "Speaking of law school, how are things going? Segal still being a pain in the ass?"

"As always," Katherine replied with a small groan but still not dropping her smile. "But he did end up giving us the week off from research and studying for spring break so I guess I can't be too mad at him."

"Wow, I thought for sure you would have brought your law books along and tried to study while on the beach," said Casey.

"She did try to bring them," said Beaver. "But I wouldn't let her so she left them at home."

"That's right, you guys just recently moved in together," said Cappie. "Hope Beaver hasn't been too much of a slob for you."

"Actually he's much cleaner than I thought," Katherine replied. "I'm still working on him on putting the toilet seat down after he goes but we'll get there soon enough."

Soon the waitress came with their food and the four friends laughed and talked all through the rest of the lunch like they had never missed a beat.

A/N: So after much encouragement from my Rainbows readers I came up with this idea for a post finale story. I hope you guys like the start of it. I see there are a couple of other post finale stories that start right as Cappie and Casey drive off and thought it would be a little more fun to write something a little more into the future and of course include all the characters to see where they end up :0) At this time I really have no idea how long this is going to be but we'll just see how it goes as I write. Please review and let me know what you think!
