"You're just gonna turn your back on the Sparrow Academy? I mean, you heard Dad. We have training to do. Something big is about to go down."

"I wish you were talking about my wedding."

He walked around the couch and sat in front of her. "Sloane, listen to me--"

"No. You listen to me. I'm sorry they didn't invite you to the bachelor party."

"I don't... I don't care about that."

"Yes, you do." I said.

"Stay out of this!" Ben told me.

"She's right. You care more about being invited to the bachelor party than you do Fei or the others. Or even saving the world."

"That--" he chuckled, "that's... That's crazy.

"Crazy true, am I right?" I added.

"Stop it!"

"She's being realistic. Is it crazy? You and I , we've never been alone. It's always been the seven of us. Now it's just you."

Ben scoffed.

"So congratulations, Ben. You're finally Number One of one."

"I'm a Sparrow, and so are you."

"Not anymore."

"What's so damn special about them anyway?"

"They have me." I said, being cocky.

"They're a real family. They don't exist to sell action figures and tote bags." She stopped and looked at me, "And Y/n."

I smiled.

"We were more than that."

"Were we? Why is it so important for you to be a Sparrow?"

He walked out. I heard him mutter. "Because I have nothing else."

I felt a little bad.

"Here."

She tossed me a dress. "Woah. Wait, you made this?"

She nodded.

"Wow." I muttered.

I went into her bathroom and changed, I kept my sneakers on. I was a little too drunk to wear heels.

I teleported downstairs, they all looked at me.

Lila smiled at me. I walked behind them and waited for the elevator to open. Once it did, they gasped and stared at Sloane in awe.

"Let's get this over with before I die of cringe."

"Hey, Ben. Let's not forget you wouldn't be here without me, remember, I saved your ass." I whispered to him.

Klaus was pronouncing them as husband and wife. Well, trying to at least...

"Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today for a good time, not a long time, so let's have a good time, huh? Cause the sun can't shine every day. Can I get an amen?"

We all cheered for them.

"Luther, do you be taking this banging hottie to be your lady?"

"I do."

"Sloane, do you promise to love and cherish this big hairy bastard for the next 42 to 48 hours?"

"Give or take a day!"

Klaus shushed Five.

"I'm gonna try."

Five teleported to the middle row to sit next to me. I handed him a flask. He took it and had a few sips.
