I bet you thought I'd forgotten the bet!

Epilogue

Jasper

It was the last day of our Adventure Holiday and was proving to be the best,

"Bella please? This is so unfair"

"Peter stop whining, you made the bet and you lost."

"That was months ago"

"There was no expiry date on the forfeit so shut up and put it on"

We stood and watched as Peter pulled the outfit on, this I was going to enjoy. It wasn't often anyone got the better of Peter but he'd been had this time. Bella looked him up and down with a smile,

"What do you think folks?"

Charlotte couldn't answer for laughing but I nodded,

"I think it suits him. Pink is definitely his colour"

Peter glared at me,

"We guys are supposed to stick together remember?"

"Peter I've waited decades to see you get yours and I intend to enjoy every second of it."

"Are we all ready?"

Bella took Peter's hand,

"Come on, its time"

The crowds in Boulder were slow at first to notice the attraction that Peter had become but as more people noticed the word went round and cameras started to click. Some kids even asked to be photographed standing beside him, much to our delight.

"Is it publicity for a new film?"

"I haven't heard of that one but he's sure funny"

"Must be a spoof of X men or something"

"Yeah Butt Kick Boy?"

We watched from the edge of the crowd as Peter paraded up and down the main drag in his specially tailored suit. It was bright pink with silver lame tights and a purple utility belt laden down with torches and various strange-looking gizmo's. The cape was stiffened so it looked like the wind was blowing it backwards and the lightening stickers that Bella had applied to his cheeks sparkled in the sun along with the little of his face that could be seen poking through the half face mask he wore, also bright pink.

"The make up is brilliant"

"I must see if the film is coming out soon"

A crowd of children followed him up and down the street laughing and joking and we watched for over an hour before Bella decided he'd paid his dues and went to rescue him. I could have told her that was a bad idea but hey, we guys had to stick together! As she came to his side he lifted her over his shoulder and ran, just slightly too fast, down the street shouting

"I found her, Bionic Bella. The Evil Mastermind of my disgrace"

The crowd thinking it was all part of the promotion whistled and shouted as he ran back and then threw her in a half empty dumpster and shut the lid sitting on it to keep her there.

The applause was deafening as he took bow after bow and sat signing autographs for the next twenty minutes before I drew up in the car,

"Come on Butt Kick Boy, you and Bionic Bella are needed on set"

He grinned, hopped down and opening the trash can lifted a smiling but furious Bella out. He turned to the crowd with her for a final bow then escorted her to the car. As they got in I heard his quiet words,

"No one fucks with Butt Kick Boy"
