This is the last chapter. I'm sorry, but I need closure, so here it is. This is 3 years after that night. Enjoy!
"Hurry up, Mo! We're going to start the video without you!" Mimi called. The whole group was at the loft today, because today was October 31...the anniversary of Angel's death. They decided that in honour of the 3 year anniversary of her death, they'd watch "Today 4 U: Proof Positive". The new and improved "Today 4 U: Proof Positive"
"Coming!" Mo cried, and ran into the room. In her hands and on a tray were drinks: 5 beers, and two orange juices. Now why would she have orange juice do you think?
"Mommy! Can I have my orange juice!" little Maria cried, sitting beside her other mother, Jo. That's right; for MoJo's 2 year anniversary, they decided they'd adopt a cute little 3 year old Latina girl. It was a strange coincidence that her name was the same as Mimi's. The moment Maria came into their lives, Mo and Jo became closer, and thankfully stopped breaking up every 2 minutes. Maria changed their lives more than they could know.
But Maria wasn't the only new thing.
"Thanks, Mo!" Mimi cried, trying to sitting up. It was hard though, because her swollen belly got in the way. She wasn't allowed to drink beer, since Roger refused to allow it. Plus, it was probably unhealthy for the baby.
Little Angel Musetta Davis-Marquez.
It didn't really matter if it was a boy or girl. Mimi had to name her/him after her fallen friend. It was only fair to Angel's memory. Collins was thrilled that they were naming her/him after Angel, and Roger insisted that Musetta be the second name. Mimi reluctantly agreed, since she wanted to call the baby Angel.
Mo passed out the beers, kept one for her, and plopped down on the mattress on the floor. The couch had become crowded, so they decided that Mark's mattress was the only option.
As you can imagine, Mark wasn't thrilled. Mark was by the projector; just waiting for everyone to sit and relax so he could start the video. When everyone was ready and staring at him, Mark pressed the button to start it, and the title came on.
Throughout the video, many tears were spread (mostly by Mimi...hormones), many laughs (Little Maria was very interested to watch her Mommy asking everyone to Moo with her), and much love (whenever Angel went on the screen, everyone just stopped and smiled). There were many memories shared, and it was truly a picture perfect moment.
Even Collins was joining in the fun. These days, Collins taught everywhere, and the group didn't see him as much as they used to. All that mattered though was he was there for Christmases, birthdays, and whenever they needed him. Sometimes, he even took time out of his busy life to hang out with his group. He'd go to the Life cafe with Mark, or laugh with Mimi on the fire escape. Even though he was gone a lot, he was still there or them.
Mark was offered many jobs, but he turned many down before finding the perfect one. His job was to host documentaries for Real Life T.V. (A/N not a real channel by the way). There he met his current girlfriend, Amy. She was instantly taken in by the Bohemians, and was loved by everyone in the group.
When Benny came on the screen, Mimi, Mo, and/or Roger usually threw popcorn at the screen, earning a glare from Mark. But they couldn't help it. Benny was still yuppie scum. But they didn't see a lot of him, especially in the past 3 years. They only heard from him in calls, and sometimes Mark saw him downtown when he was filming. But that's it. After they found Mimi, Benny knew to stay away, and the group was thankful he did.
Towards the end of the film, they started seeing more updated images; like Mimi showing of her first pay check from the Life (she quit the Cat Scratch club), Roger playing with his new band at a popular bar, Mo and Jo holding up their new daughter (Maria was so excited that she was in the film too), Mark making out with Amy, and Mimi showing off her ever growing belly.
Then, before they knew it video started to end. They knew because they saw Angel spinning in her Santa wear. So together, everyone sang,
"No day but today!"
And just like that very special night, Angel's grinning face was the last thing they saw before the video ended.
The End!
Remember, NO DAY BUT TODAY!!

(P.S. I'm thinking of making a story based on this. Like, talking about their life more, and in chapters instead of this small epilogue. PLEASE tell me what you think of this idea people! I like people's opinions!)
