Wow. I actually thought this wouldn't be up until late may or even early June, but I found this motivation to work on this story. I kept telling myself I've got one chapter left so get to it! It's short, but it's also the epilogue. You can only make those so long!

So here it is, the unexpectedly early epilogue.

Epilogue

Four Months Later

Cornelia had to admit, she loved the way her costume looked. She grinned at herself in the mirror, extremely happy with how things turned out. She leaned closer to the mirror to apply her eyeliner when she noticed Hay Lin's reflection racing by the mirror. The Asian girl stopped in her tracks before twirling towards Cornelia, her face twisted in concern.

"What's wrong?" Cornelia asked.

Hay Lin panted in and out for several seconds before answering in a fast-paced response. "I can't find Caleb anywhere!"

Cornelia bit her bottom lip. Caleb was on in seven minutes and Hay Lin couldn't find him? She hastily finished her make-up and rose from the chair. "Okay…um…maybe he's…" she trailed off, with no clue where he could possibly be.

"Martin did say he was looking a little pale last time he saw him," Hay Lin said.

It was easy to put two and two together. This was Caleb's first time acting on stage and it only made sense for him to be a little nervous. She took several steps to the center of backstage, feeling the urge to pace to help herself think. "I'll go find him." She said suddenly. "He's probably in a washroom somewhere!" She bolted from backstage, entering the school's hallways. Settling on the closest washroom to the stage, she entered the men's lavatory without a second thought. "Caleb?"

Sure enough, Caleb emerged from one of the stall's.

"Ew, please tell me you haven't been throwing up. I have to kiss you at the end of this thing, you know." Cornelia felt slightly guilty for thinking about her own needs when Caleb was obviously extremely nervous.

Caleb shook his head, "Nah. I haven't." He answered her quickly as to reassure her. "Just a little…nervous." He offered her a tiny grin.

Cornelia returned the look, making her way towards him. She stopped in front of him, reaching up to place her hand over his cheek. "You'll do fine." She stood up on her tiptoes to give him a quick peck. "Just…get out there and give Hercules a run for his money."

He chuckled, "No pressure." He said in a sarcastic tone.

Cornelia let out a single giggle, at the same time locking her eyes with him. "I'm serious, you'll be fine."

Caleb responded by the shrug of his shoulders. "Thanks. But you know what would really make me feel better?" He didn't wait for her to question it. He slipped his hand on her chin to tilt her head up to face him.

Cornelia could feel his smile as their lips met. She allowed herself to momentarily melt into him; everything about him. The kiss lasted too short for both of them, yet Cornelia did the unwanted deed of pulling away from him. Cornelia smirked, a look Caleb had told her he loved, and turned on her heel. "Let's never kiss in the guy's washroom again." She joked while pulling the washroom's door open. "It's hardly romantic."

She couldn't hold back the grin that made its way onto her face when she felt him close in on her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and they practically waddled (in an attempt to walk) back to the stage. Cornelia found herself in a fit of giggles when they entered backstage.

"Caleb, get in position! You're on in forty seconds!" Hay Lin said as she bypassed them, in a clear rush to instruct someone else to do something.

Cornelia spun around to face Caleb, surprised to see that all traces of his nerves had disappeared from his face. "You ready?"

"As I'll ever be." He answered, making his way to the edge of the stage, still hidden from the audience by the curtain. He admitted one last look at Cornelia, "See you in three scenes from now."

Cornelia stuck out her tongue in response, looking forward to the moment they would share their first scene on stage together.

… …

The concerned look on Caleb's face even had Cornelia convinced. He rushed towards her, perched on the plastic rock and asked, "Um…miss, are you alright?"

Cornelia raised an eyebrow almost expectantly. In her response she smirked at him. "Thanks wonder boy, but I didn't need your help."

She found it extremely difficult to contain her laughter when Caleb drew back and cocked his head, yet she managed.

"Oh…" he said, sounding as disappointed as the script called for. "Well, I, you're…I'm Hercules."

She met his gaze and allowed a real smile to take hold of her face. She only felt warmer when Caleb returned her look with his bold grin. Behind her she could nearly feel Hay Lin's stare, willing her to continue with her line. It was a simple line, really. All she had to do was introduce herself as Meg, yet the words couldn't find their way to her lips.

Finally, after too long of a pause she answered. "My name's Meg."

Funny, it was. She had just convinced a nervous Caleb through her confidence that he would be fine. And he was. She however, couldn't help but escape the loss of words she felt whenever they exchanged a meaningful glance. She grinned at the thought of his effect on her, knowing that if she planned on acting with him again, that was something she would need to get over. She wasn't sure how though, since no one had ever caused her to mess up in a performance before.

All at once, Caleb was probably the worst thing that had ever happened to her acting life, but that really didn't matter. He was the best thing that had ever happened to her in her life as a whole.

He was perfect.
