So this is it, guys, the final part! Thank you sooo much for KingxLeon21, for he has truely been an amazing beta and really helped this story end on a better note. SO GO READ HIS WORKS! :D

And thank you for reading, and reviewing. This was just something I started with a random idea and I've been winging it right down to the last paragraph, so it's great to have your support and your criticism

Balloons floated to the sky, confetti showered down, rose petals dusted the ground, and in the center of it stood a huge, blinking sign flashing the words: Will you marry me?

Next to it, a brunette stood nervously, fiddling with his fingers and blushing. However, a hopeful, beautiful smile graced his features. It shone with happiness as he stared at the blonde in front of him. Her eyes were wet with tears, which was a rare occurrence these days. She managed to squeak out a yes before running into his arms. She let her tears flow freely as he picked her up off the ground and squeezed her close; letting a few happy tears leak out of his own eyes.

Standing just to the left of the happy couple, Sam beamed. She turned to Freddie to grin proudly at him. Freddie smiled back, and then he scooped Sam up in his arms for a hug. He couldn't find the words to properly explain how he felt at the sight of their daughter being proposed to by her long time boyfriend, or now, fiancée.

The two pulled away just in time to see Matty open a shiny black box, revealing a ring. Sam and Freddie watched as the ring, only seeing it as a bright glare of light from the sun, was slipped onto Eva's finger. Wordlessly Freddie dropped his right hand down to Sam's left one and clutched onto it tightly, trying not to think about the fact that her own ring finger was empty.

"So of course we'll invite Aunt Melanie and Uncle Tony and Benny and May." Eva listed while Matty quickly wrote on his tablet with the special pen it required.

"And my Uncle Bart, and his wife Mary." He added, tapping his pen against the kitchen counter in a steady, quick beat.

"What about their kids?"

"Awwwww do we have to?"

"Yes! You can't invite the parents and not the kids!"

"Fine then, I won't invite Uncle Bart or Mary."

"Are they really that bad, they're just kids…"

Freddie flipped casually through a bridal magazine, absentmindedly tuning out the wedding chatter for the first time in over a month. Since Sam wanted nothing to do with the planning of the wedding, he'd stepped in, offering to help Eva and Matty with whatever they needed.

What a stupid move that was! First off, since Matty and Eva both had very well paying jobs, the two decided to get married in Bora Bora, and bring at least twenty of their closest friends and family. On top of trying to plan a wedding in another country, as well as finding places for everyone to stay, there was the matter of things like: the dress, the wedding party, the ceremony, and a million other things that Freddie found insane. Right now, they were finalizing the guest list so Freddie could make the final arrangements at the hotel they'd be staying at.

"We HAVE to invite Carly!" Eva reminded him, "She's practically family!"

"So then Gibby, Barlo, Franko, and Saro too?"

"Yes! I can't wait to see the triplets, they're sooo cute!"

"Don't forget about Spencer and Sasha," called Freddie casually, feeling sort of like the eye of a hurricane. Around him the wedding activity flourished, but for just a few minutes, his mind was elsewhere.

Sam. Where else would his thoughts be? Even back when they "hated" each other he thought about her all the time. No matter what, she invaded his brain, and even though it took him a long time to realize it, he was head over heels in love with her. So why wasn't Sam the one listing people to invite to their wedding in some gorgeous tropical location? Freddie had always assumed Sam never wanted to be married. It wasn't like she'd ever said anything, but seriously; Sam never seemed to be the commitment type to him. Her openly admitting that she loved him should be enough, but now, more than ever, he really wanted to make that commitment to Sam, and have her do to the same to him.

"Is that everyone?" Eva asked, resting her chin on Matty's shoulder and frowning thoughtfully at the tablet.

"Yep!" Matty smiled then turned his head and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, causing her to blush lightly and turn her head to peck him on the lips. From the other side of the counter Freddie loudly cleared his throat, raising an eyebrow at the two lovebirds. Rolling her eyes, Eva pulled away from Matty and snatched the tablet, sliding it across the island to Freddie. At that moment Sam walked in the front door, which was in the far corner of the back wall, behind the counter.

"Heyyy, party people!" Sam greeted them, tossing her scarf off while she casually walked up to the counter and grabbed Matty's tablet seconds before Freddie's fingers could close around it.

Freddie glared at her, but she was too absorbed in reading the guest list to notice. From Matty's family there was his dad, his brother Rold, his wife and their daughter, along with Uncle Bart and Mary, minus the kids. Eva's guest list was: Pam, Melanie and Tony, along with their two kids, Sasha, Spencer, Carly, Gibby, and the triplets. Between the two of them they had also agreed on Matty's best man Ivan, and Eva's maid of honor, her best friend from college, Chelsea.

"Perfect, twenty guests, plus the four of us! Freddie book our hotel rooms, we're going to Bora Bora!" Sam called out, tossing the tablet carelessly up in the air. Freddie instinctively dove for it, catching the precious piece of technology safely in his arms; unfortunately landing painfully on his shoulder when he hit the ground. Above him Sam laughed, not caring in the least that he was in pain. Smiling wickedly Freddie tripped her, sending her down to the ground next to him. She whipped her head around to glare at him, but he caught her off guard with a kiss, letting the tablet slip from his hands as he moved them to her hips, smirking a little when she kissed back, digging her fingernails into his arm while she pushed up against the counter.

Up above Eva giggled knowingly, hearing Freddie's back hit the counter. Then she grabbed Matty's hand and led him out of the kitchen, leaving her parents fighting and kissing on the floor, relishing in the thought that some things never change.

Sam ran out on to the white sand, nearly jumping, in her race to get to the water. Somewhere to the left of her, she heard Carly shriek and Gibby stomping along, but it was hard to see when their only light was the moon. Freddie was at the water already, howling and shouting like a mad man before diving underwater. Sam could only make out the shape of his head when he popped back up, but judging by his carefree laughing, he was probably watching his best friends run towards the ocean, nearly tripping over themselves as they so.

"CANONBALL!" Sam screamed as she jumped into the water with her knees pulled tightly to her chest.

When she emerged from the water she saw Freddie with a big smile on his face, glowing in the pale moonlight, with Carly and Gibby jumping in the water behind him. When they surfaced the four exchanged smiles; the kind you could only share if you've known each other forever and you were all crazy enough to go swimming at 2 am when you had a wedding to attend the next day.

"I missed you guys," Carly whispered sadly as the two couples settled down and relaxed in the water, breaking the silence that had settled along with the water.

"We miss you too Carls," Sam breathed softly, taking Freddie's hand under the cold water. Freddie then reached for Carly's, who took hold of Gibby's when Freddie's hand found hers.

The four stood there for a few minutes, not saying a word, all lost in their own worlds, their intertwined hands the only thing holding them to the real one. Once, they'd spent nearly every day together. Once, Carly and Sam fought over other guys. Once, Sam claimed she hated Freddie. Once, Gibby was in love with another girl. Once upon a time, everything was different.

"It all started with us," Carly murmurs, and even though it didn't entirely make sense, they all knew what she meant. Everything that had happened in their lives, started because; a long time ago, Carly, Sam, and Freddie decided to make a webshow that would take the internet by storm.

"And it was the best thing that ever happened!" Freddie hollered, breaking the sad mood that was enveloping the four of them.

"Hell yes!" Sam shouted, throwing her hands up in the air, and one of Freddie's, before flopping backwards in the water, quickly disappearing in the darkness. Carly giggled and swam after her, with Gibby and Freddie following close behind. They played and splashed and shrieked for close to an hour, dragging themselves to the shore a little after 3 in the morning.

Freddie fell to the ground, followed by Sam who promptly collapsed on top of his chest, ignoring the small sound of protest he made. Carly laid down beside the two, lying on her side to Freddie's left so she was facing them. Gibby sat down near Carly's feet, before flopping forward and landing belly first in the sand behind Freddie and Sams' feet.

Sam breathed heavily, tracing patterns on Freddie's chest and smirking when she noticed his heart beat picking up pace. It'd been 12 years since Freddie had kissed her in her basement, but she still drove him crazy with the simplest things. She liked to believe it'd always be that way; kind of like how she'd always like to stay in Freddie's arms. Her mother had always told her that Sam wasn't a forever kind of person; that she wouldn't be pretty or funny forever, and that she would never be loved by, or love, anyone forever. Nestled there, Sam knew her mother was wrong. Her and Freddie were forever, as cheesy and horrible as that sounded.

Running his sandy hands through her blonde hair Freddie smiled at the happy expression on Sam's face, and tried to ignore her fingers lightly caressing his skin.

"Hey," he murmured, trying to get her attention.

"Yeah?" she asked, not looking up. Carly and Gibby both discreetly leaned in closer however.

"Wanna get married?" Abruptly the invisible doodles on his skin stopped and Freddie panicked. But suddenly she pushed herself up to look him dead in the eye, her expression showing no emotions, but her eyes holding both hope and fear.

"Are you serious?" her voice was neither scornful nor sarcastic; just soft, and light.

"Yes Sam, I want to marry you. I've been in love with you forever and I'm going to love you forever," Freddie pulled her closer, her eyes closed as she savoured that one sweet word: forever.

Then, with out so much as blinking she flung herself at him, kissing him passionately.

Gibby pushed himself up from the sand and turned to face his wife, "Is that a yes?"

Carly grinned at the happy couple who were now rolling around in the sand as they kissed and teased each other.

"That's a yes," she confirmed happily, settling back in the sand.

Eva tapped her toes absentmindedly in the sand, half focused on the delight of not having to wear shoes on her wedding day, and half focused on the news that she'd be sharing the wedding day with her parents. She wasn't mad about it at all, when they had showed up at her door at 3:37 in the morning she celebrated the news and hadn't slept since; too busy helping her mom find a dress and arranging for the weddings to take place back to back.

Sam stood in front of a mirror, idly tugging at the fabric of her white beach dress. Eva smiled knowingly at the reflections looking back at them and moved forward to hug her mother from behind.

"You look gorgeous Mom," she whispered, squeezing her eyes shut, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. She was failing.

"You look beautiful too Eva," Sam whispered back, turning around to face her daughter, pulling back a little when she noticed Eva's wet cheeks.

"Why in the world are you crying?" asked Sam, her soft voice gone, replaced with minor disgust.

Eva rolled her eyes at her mom, then pulled her back close and quietly spoke, "I was just thinking of that one night when I was seven. It was a week after dad left, you had lost your job and we had just gotten kicked out of the apartment."

Sam stiffed up slightly, recalling the two weeks they spent living in her car before she found another job and managed to find them another place to live. "What about that night?"

"I just never thought we'd start like that and end up like this," Eva turned her smiling face up to Sam, both sets of blue eyes now wet with tears.

"We're lucky cupcake," Sam thought of Freddie, Matty, their beautiful house, their awesome friends, their rewarding jobs, and how happy they all were, "Very, very lucky."

The two stood wrapped in each others' arms until Carly popped her head into the tent that they had set up on the beach.

"Come on Eva! Only 10 minutes till you walk down the aisle, let's get you ready!" Carly chirped, coming forward to take Eva's hand when she pulled away from Sam.

"You coming Mom?"

"I think I'll stay for just a few more minutes," Sam replied.

"You have three Puckett, three!" warned Carly, her voice low and threatening, but a huge smile still on her face.

"I'm scared Shay," Sam teased. Carly just smirked before whisking Eva away, down the beach some 30 feet where the ceremonies would take place.

With each step they took down the aisle Freddie felt himself get a little closer to tears. He glanced down at Eva, but she was beaming at Matty, who was simply staring at her, looking kind of stunned by her beauty. A million memories flooded back to Freddie: tucking little white flowers in Eva's hair on the night of her Junior Prom, attempting to make a surprise birthday cake for Sam with her and having most of the ingredients end up on the floor and walls of the kitchen, her first A+ on a math test in grade 10, her dance award, and of course when him and Sam spied on her and Mattys' first kiss.

All too soon, they were at the arch set up where Matty, Ivan, Chelsea and the priest stood. Freddie choked back more tears and Eva turned to face him.

"Don't cry," she murmured, wiping away his tears in front of all their friends and family.

"I feel like I'm losing my little girl," Freddie smiled sadly.

"You'll always be my Freddie," Eva promised, before throwing her arms around the guy that had been a better dad than she ever thought humanly possible.

When she pulled away Freddie nodded and she turned, walking towards Matty and throwing herself into his arms, much to the amusement of the priest. Freddie chuckled softly with the wedding party and guest, moving off to the side next to Ivan, drying his eyes so he could watch his beautiful little girl get married.

Sam knew she had done a lot of stupid things in her life: pranking her teachers, humiliating her classmates (especially Freddie), failing most school subjects, getting pregnant at age 18, delaying going to university, and having a daughter with a dude who was a selfish idiot. Years ago, she would have thought marrying Freddie topped all these in stupidity. Maybe it was kind of crazy, falling in love with this total dork she used to bully, actually settling down and making promises and wearing a dress. But as soon as she looked up from her small bouquet of purple lilies and saw his glowing, happy face, she knew she'd never made a better decision.

They lived happily ever after, if that's what you want to call it. Freddie and Sam stayed together for the rest of their lives. They teased each other, had stupid arguments, insulted each other, and tormented each other… or at least Sam tormented Freddie. Somewhere between that, they also loved each other and had a lot fun with life, especially when their grandchildren Ellie, Kathy, Cameron and Daisy were born.

Matty and Eva lived happily ever after too. Although, their lives got a little crazy taking care of four kids, two dogs, a cat, and seventeen geckos. They live in a gorgeous home in Seattle, two blocks away from Sam and Freddie, who would drop by whenever they felt like it.

Carly, Gibby and the triplets visited regularly, and they brought their "surprise" son Spencer Jr when he was born too. Spencer Jr later married Ellie, which all three sets of parents found a little weird, but everyone was happy for them, and everyone was happy to return to Bora Bora, where all of Eva and Mattys' children got married.

Nobody ever would have guessed that years and years ago when three adventurous kids decided to start a webshow together what it would lead to, but they wouldn't have it any other way.

Freddie lay in bed with his, wife of 7 years snoring softly next to him .He thought about how he had ended up being so lucky. He decided that, somehow, their kiss on the fire escape had led to that one.

"You may now kiss the bride!" announced the priest, smiling broadly at the blonde and brunette in front of him. Without hesitating, the blonde grabbed the brunette and planted one on him, causing cheers and laughter to pour out from the crowd.

When the blonde pulled away the brunette smirked, thinking of the fateful day in her basement when she proclaimed kissing someone was no big deal. Suddenly he pulled her in again, pressing his lips to hers, losing himself in the midst of voices and people.

Freddie internally laughed, remembering how they both swore to Carly it was nothing. Sam was laughing when he pulled away that day and he didn't hesitate to scoop his wife in his arms.

No big deal her words echoed in his head.

Yeah, fudging, right Freddie smirked, leaning over to once again kiss his demon, Sam.
