A few hours have passed. Despite getting a lot more crowded than expected, the party turned out to be even more fun. All 3 generations of Solar Blue surfers got to know each other, have a drink, share stories, and at some point, they all jumped into the pool, which made for a magnificent picture. Afterwards, they all just had a slice of the special Solar Blue-themed cake that Bec secretly ordered. Right now, Perri, Loren and Rachel are singing karaoke, while Fly, Bec, Bridget, Adam, Cassie, Guy, Charlie, Corey, Eric, Mike, Brooke and Amy are all playing snooker. Meanwhile, Heath, Edge and Matt are having a drink by the pool.
Edge: That Solar Blue cake was bloody amazing, mate.
Heath: Thank Bec for that. I had no idea.
Matt: I like what you guys did with the logo.
Edge: What do you mean?
Matt: They changed it.
Edge: No, they didn't.
Heath: We did, actually. We added 4 surfboards in the corners, and a surfer being chased by a wave, on top.
Edge: Yeah, so? It always had that.
Matt: Uhm, no. It did not.
Heath: Yeah, I'm pretty certain we added that.
Edge: ... Weird. I remember it being always like this. It must be another one of those Mandela effects.
Matt: Nah. it sounds more like an 'Edge having a bad memory' effect.
Heath: (laughs)
Edge: Haha, very funny. Not... And how about you, Heath? When you gonna tell her?
Heath: What?
Edge: When are you gonna tell Fly that you love her?
Heath: What are you talking about?
Edge: Yeah sure, like you don't love her.
Matt: Gotta agree with Edge on this one.
Heath: Uhm, helloooo? It's been 20 years. We've moved on. I'm not telling you guys to go back to dating Perri and Bec. So why are you saying this to me?
Matt: Well, that's not the same thing, isn't it? We've all moved on, and we're in happy relationships. But you and Fly are not.
Edge: Yeah. I think you did all of this on purpose, just so you two would be living in the Solar Blue house together again.
Heath: What? I did not! Things just happened like that.
Edge: Yeah right.
Matt: Come on, mate. Admit it.
Heath: Admit what? Life is not a freakin' teen movie, alright? I'm not gonna suddenly end up with Fly.
Matt: Oh, but you two definitely belong together.
Edge: Exactly. Notice how you haven't even said you don't love her.
Heath: I-I don't love her.
Edge: Suuuure. And then the elves came, and did their little rain dance, around the fire.
Matt: Heath, you're both single. You're both childless. And you're gonna be seeing each other every single day, for the next few years. It's gonna happen.
Heath: Wha... Whe... You guys have lost your minds.
Edge: Just admit it, mate. You love her.
Heath: ... You know, even if I did, it's not like I could do anything about it... Is it?
Matt: You can. In fact, why don't you make a toast?
Heath: A toast?
Edge: Yeah, you'll mention Fly, and Matt and I will start a 'kiss' chant. We'll basically do your job for you.
Heath: (sigh) I don't know.
Matt: Come on, mate. You know you want her. And she clearly wants you. Simmo is up there in heaven, rooting for you two to be together... Don't disappoint him.
Edge: (making noise with the glass) Hey everyone, grab a glass and a bit of the bubbly! Heath's about to make a toast!
[Everyone stops what they're doing, and join the trio at the pool]
Heath: (clears throat) Thank you, Edge... So, uhm. This party was supposed to be a small gathering with friends, but due to some unexpected changes, it turned into a massive reunion party, featuring the last, and if I may say so, the best 3 generations of Solar Blue surfers. And I'm glad it did, because next year, we're gonna meet a new generation. And then another one, and so on, and so forth... Anyways, we're here to celebrate the fact that I made it. I turned my crazy idea, of bringing Solar Blue back, and I didn't do it alone. I'd like to thank Rebecca Sanderson, my business partner, for making this possible. She's the reason why this property is still in immaculate condition today, and she helped me make this dream come true, despite the fact that we were apart for 20 years. She's amazing.
Bec: ... Thank you.
[Everyone claps]
Heath: I'd like to thank Corey Petrie as well. You're a genius, mate. And there's no way we'd be starting next year, if you hadn't chimed in. You made this possible so quickly.
Corey: Thank you.
[Everyone claps]
Heath: I'd also like to thank Simmo and Andrew, the original creators of Solar Blue, for what they have done for all of us, and may they rest in peace... At least Simmo. I'm not sure if Andrew is dead. Does anyone know if Andrew is still alive?
Charlie: He is. I googled it.
Heath: Dang it, we could have invited him.
[Everyone laughs]
Heath: Alright, and now last but not least, I'd like to thank the myth, the legend, Fiona Watson. I don't need to tell you how much of an amazing surfer she is, but she's also a great friend, and she's the one who's gonna lead the surfers of tomorrow, to a path of glory.
Fly: (crying) Thank you.
[Fly hugs him]
Edge: (whispering to Matt) This is it.
Matt: (whispering back) Alright, let's go for it.
[The two of them start repeatedly chanting 'kiss'. Everyone is confused at first, but then they join in, and a massive 'kiss' chant happens. Fly is caught off guard, and doesn't know how to react to it]
Heath: ... Well... I suppose we co-
Fly: No.
[Fly walks away, and the chants come to an end]
Bridget: Oof.
Loren: Now what?
Heath: ... I'll go get her. Keep enjoying your party, everyone.
