AN: well here it is, the last chapter. WOW, I really can't believe this fic is over. I hope you've all enjoyed it.

Every day in Aslan's Country is glorious, flawless, and more wonderful than a million years in just about any other world but this day was even more special than most. For it was a wedding day. It was in fact, a double wedding. It was Edmund and Julia's wedding day as well as Gracie and Max's wedding day. It was almost a triple wedding because Peter and Susan although they were already married had decided to have a renewal of vows sort of ceremony so that the whole family could celebrate with them.

The air was full of blowing horns and cheers. Flower petals and rice sailed on the light breezes that never became too muggy nor too cool.

The ceremonies themselves were performed by Aslan who stood on a great dais in the hall of Cair Paravel. After he'd finished speaking to the brides and grooms, William stood up and took Louise's hand in his, getting down on his knees.

Louise smiled down at him as he spoke.

"Louise Chatham." He said softly but in a clear tone. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes." Louise told him. "I will."

And everyone in the room broke into an applause. Some wiped happy tears from their eyes. Some of the louder persons shouted things like, "Hurrah! Hooray! Three cheers!"

While all this was going on, the windows to the east were wide open and all could hear mermaids singing songs of joy and peace.

Afterwards, Emma, Rikki, and Cleo went out to meet them and though they found that they were a rather different kind of mermaid from themselves, these having been born mermaids and not simply turned into half fish by an enchanted moon pool, they had enough in common to become good friends with them. Many of these Mermaids already knew Susan from the golden age of Narnia when she'd ruled as their queen and were amazed to see that she now had a shimmering tail not so very different from theirs.

Sitting on the rocks watching the Susan, Rikki, Emma, and Cleo swim off into the waves sat Peter, Ash, Lewis, and Zane.

Before swimming far off, the girls waved and the boys waved and smiled back and then got into a conversation amongst themselves.

"Can't catch up with me, Cleo." Rikki laughed zooming passed her, stopping for a moment at a large rock in the middle of the sea to move her damp blond bangs out of her eyes.

"Yes, I can." Cleo laughed, finally catching up to the rock.

Susan and Emma came behind them.

"I know I could beat you Rikki." Susan laughed. "I swam right passed you and Emma on the first night we met."

"But Cleo's the slow one." Rikki teased.

Cleo splashed her in the face.

"Hey." Rikki laughed trying to get the salt water out of her nose before splashing her back. "Don't do that!"

Emma pulled herself up onto the rock and looked out at the horizon. It was one of the most wonderful things about being in Aslan's country, your eyes changed and you could see anything in the distance no matter how far away it was. And what Emma saw surprised her very much.

"Rikki, Cleo, Susan!" She called down to them. "Look at that!"

And since their eyes were changed too, they could also see the strange thing that had surprised her so greatly.

"It's Mako." Cleo gasped. "Just as it was when we first saw it."

"No, it's better than that." Emma sighed. "It's much greener and deeper and I...I don't know...it's so much more..."

"Real." Cleo came up with. "It seems so much more real than it was all the other times we've seen it."

"But that can't be Mako." Rikki said realistically. "Wasn't it destroyed? I saw it all go away behind that door. I thought it was gone."

It was Susan who figured it out. "We have all misunderstood what's happened."

"What do you mean?" Cleo asked.

"Mako isn't gone." Susan explained. "There is no need to mourn for it after all. It simply this, when we thought of Mako before, we thought about the Mako in our world. That Mako had a beginning old though it was and it had an end as we all saw. But this is the real Mako. Ours was only a shadow copy of this one. Just like my home now is the real Cair Paravel so like the one from Narnia but more real."

"So I guess we don't have to worry about anything ever again." Cleo realized. "Being moonstruck doesn't need to be feared here, does it?"

"I should think not." Rikki said. "This doesn't seem like the sort of place where anything needs to be feared."

"We've finally come to our real home." Emma sighed happily. "The reason we loved Mako was because it sometimes made us feel a little like we feel now."

Late that night, Susan swam into the moon pool of the real Mako and looked around. The cave was darker and thicker than she remembered from the Mako she had once known but it was still warm and familiar.

"Hello." Peter said swimming up to her. He'd swam up through the underwater entrance because in Aslan's country human's can hold their breath longer than they can in our world.

"Isn't this too wonderful for words?" Susan sighed looking up at the glittering starts shining through the top of the moon pool's opening.

"It is." Peter agreed, slipping his arm around her and pulling her close to him.

Susan let out another sigh and leaned her head on his chest. "I never thought we'd end up like this."

"Neither did I." Peter whispered.

"This is the best place that ever was." Susan said softly.

"Now that you're here it is." Peter agreed, gently lifting her chin up and kissing her.

And they all lived happily ever after where they truly belonged and had belonged all their lives without knowing it until now.
