"M-Mackenzie?"
"B-bluey"
"But i- i thought i-"
"Neither did i-"
Bluey dropped her purse and ran to hug her... Ex? Boyfriend? She wasn't sure at this point, since that night they had bigger problems, thinking what would happen to their relationship if things went sour wasn't a particularly important concern.
"I'm so gl-glad to see you again-" The Border-Collie started to tear up.
"It's been 5 years! F.I.V.E! Why?! How?!?"
"It's... bit of a long story" Mackenzie chuckled and blushed rather intensively. He, just like Bluey, didn't think he'd every get to see her ever again.

"Where did your sister go, Bingo?"
"With Mackenzie." Bingo answered bluntly, with a smug face she looked at her mother's reaction.
"Bingo, we've already talked about this, it's not fun to joke about stuff like- Oh. My. Goodness-" Chilli said in disbelief.
"Oh, there you are!" Bandit finally found his famil- and he saw Mackenzie too. Great.
"Is- is that?" Bandit asked also in disbelief.
"Seems so."
"B-but how? Not this again!"

At some point, rather than standing, the two lovebirds collapsed onto the floor (more so, squatting?) and were both crying, to the disgust of the older Heelers, and the airport staff.
"I-i cann-o-ot b-elieve this" The younger attempted to say but her tears kept getting in the way.
"Y-ou're as beaut-iful a-as the d-day i l-ost yo-you" The collie responded, suffering from the same problem. He then attempted to lean in-
"N-no Kenz... don't" The older was left flabbergasted by Bluey's response. The Heeler got up.
"Y-yeah you're right. T-too soon" The collie got up as well.
"D-do you wan-nt to come t-to Ja-Jack's birthd-day t-tonight?"
"I-I mean... sure"

"Mackie? Where are you?" A familiar woman shouted
"Mariah. You have to look at this." Her husband said in utter disbelief
"Now what Jos-" This is getting bit repetitive, innit?

As the two reunited pseudolovers got off the way, the Heelers and the Murray-Balls finally saw each other. Chili and Mariah were the first to make a move.
"G'day Mariah, did everything go right?"
"What do you think? It was going perfect until, well, now!"
"Listen Mary, we tried-"
"Well, you could only stop them so much time" Joshua joined their conversation.
"I thought- they had grown out of it!" Mariah retorted.
"M-maybe the whole 'send your child overseas' after what happened wasn't a good idea after all...-" Bandit joined as well.
"Yeah, and what did you expect?" Joshua fought back. "If we didn't stop them it's very likely your daughter would top the Woofipedia article for youngest mothe-"
"DON'T TALK ABOUT MY SON LIKE THAT, JOSHUA!" Mariah exploded. "MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT GROWING OUT OF LOVE, BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!" Mariah stormed off to the bench besides Bluey and Mackenzie, who, apparently, don't know what said bench is for.

"Well, what has happened since i left?"
"So... Rusty and Jack still aren't out..."
"Well, honestly to be expected, Rusty's parents are extremely homophobic."
"Yeah, he actually told me this morning that if they figured it out, a permanent vacation to Canterbury would be the best outcome"
"It wouldn't."
"Huh?"
"Because my vacations weren't permanent, and now i'm back with what i love the most"
"Uhm, speaking about that, i think we should sort it out"
"Sort out what?"
"Our feelings for one another"
"Yeah i guess so, but it definitely won't be in front of my mum" The older said as he signalled towards Mariah.

"So, Jaffie, what are ye gonna do now that you're back in Brisbane?"
"Well, we were first gonna stay at a hotel before we went to seal the deal for an appartment"
"Oh no, you can stay with us for the time being, right, Chilli?"
"Sure, i'll just have to get the guest room ready"
"You have a guest room?"
"We didn't know, either."
