To Love A Beast

Epilogue

It has been six months since the curse has been lifted again. Things have changed for the better. A Grande Ball was held in celebration. Yamato and Sera had just gotten married. Mario had moved into the castle with his nephew and niece-in-law. He didn't want to be a burden to them but Sera insisted and wouldn't take no for answer. After all he was family. He was even given his own room and work area in the castle to be able to work on his animal sculpture though he knew better than to interrupt the newlyweds.

Everyone was invited to the Grande Ball. Yes, even those who attacked them that day six months ago in the castle. They were after all no longer swayed by Minako's actions. In fact no one really seemed to miss her besides Nami. She was the only one that didn't come to the Grande Ball.

Leo believing himself to be irresistible to women put both his arms around two girls shoulders.

"So ladies, how do you like to be with a real man." Leo shows off his muscles but the girls showed no interest.

Both girls just looked annoyed and irritated. As they removed his arms from them. Looking at him with disgust. They go over to Misao, who was all sad on a chair.

"Hey cutie!" One of the girls said.

"Are you talking to me?" Misao questioned as he looked at the girls while pointing to himself. The girls look at each other and giggle.

"Why are you so sad?"

"Because everyone has someone. Even my closest friends. I mean this Grande Ball is for our Princess and her new husband. And it's just so beautiful." He starts to whimper. "I only hope one day I can have something special with someone."

"What if were you're dates?" Both of the girls told Misao, they were so touched by his sensitivity. It was so rare to see a guy like that.

Misao sits up. "Really?!" Both girls went to both sides of him as they each latched on to an arm. They walk by Leo who doesn't get what happened.

"Hey Leo!" Misao greets him as they walk by.

"What?! How did he?!" It was all Leo could mutter out in confusion as he scratched his head.

"I hope you guys love what I created especially for nephew and my new niece-in-law." Mario said affectionately touching Sera, who smiled. Yamato and Sera were holding hands as they walked behind Mario. He had made them a statue of a shark with an eagle flying over. They didn't know what to make of it. The gesture was very sweet. So they were going to display it. Mario's work had grown in popularity especially with his nephew's marriage. Yamato wasn't fond of the fact his uncle attempted to use his relationship with Sera to gain fame. Sera just let it be, after all it was his dream. He didn't want to crush it. Mario had grown to become a father figure to her.

"We love it, Uncle!" Yamato tells him.

"You really didn't have too. It's very sweet." Sera says. "We'll put it at the entrance of the castle."

"It represents the both of you. In animal form. In a way, you're together forever." Mario explained to the both of them with a smile.

"I get the whole shark thing but why do I represent an eagle?" Yamato questioned in confusion.

"You're a free spirit. It just fits you."

"It does. After all you freed me." Sera kisses Yamato on the cheek. "Come on. Let's go dance."

"All right." Yamato says as he went with his wife to the dance floor.

"Would you care to try something?" It was Larri. He was now human along with the others. His hair was still grayed with a bit of a goatee and still had that muscular build.

Tusk and Amu were sitting together. They had official being dating for the past six months. Ever since they turned back human.

"No thanks, Larri!" Amu tells him. Tusk appeared to be very nervous. As he looked down at the box in his hand. Like he was waiting for the right moment to say something.

Amu could see Yamato and Sera go onto the dance floor.

"Aren't they so sweet together?" Amu held both her hands to the side of her face as she watched them. She found it so romantic. Sera has found her true love. He saved them from the curse. "They're going to live happily ever after, aren't they?" She says as she looked over at Tusk.

"Yes, they are. Just like us." Tusk says.

"Huh?!" Amu responded in confusion as he looked at him.

"There's something, I've been wanting to do for a while now." Tusk goes on one knee as he holds Amu's hand.

"Tusk, what are you doing?!" Amu questioned.

"Amu, will you marry me?" Tusk bashfully tells her. As he opened the box to show her the ring.

"Of course. I will." Amu tells him as she puts her arms around his neck and passionately kisses him.

"I hope we have a great marriage like they do." Tusk tells Amu, who had put the ring on her finger.

"You're so sweet." Amu holds onto Tusk's arm, putting her head on his shoulder.

"And we'll all live happily ever after."

There were people that gathered around to watch Yamato and Sera, who didn't even seem to notice what was going on around them.

Yamato and Sera continued to dance as if they were the only two people there. It ended with a passionate kiss between them. They knew no matter what they would be together forever. Nothing was going to change their love. They had their own happily ever after.

Author's Note: I did the last part to please all you Tusk/Amu shippers. Well, I am one too. HEHEHEHEHE! I mean I thought it would so cute to have Tusk propose to her. Yamato and Sera married and while Tusk and Amu are engaged. It's the perfect way to end this story. Don't you think?! I cried while writing the end of this. Knowing I will not be writing this story anymore. And having to go on to my others. It's really a sad feeling.

I wanted Leo to be the only one that didn't have anyone because his my least favorite. His such a hypocritical and sexist when it comes to them on the show. Like how he believes they should protect them. So he refuses to fight them. Yet he hurts Sera who his loudness. And his whole "crush on Yuri." really was stupid. I can't womanizer's like him. They're just the worst. Since I am the writer. I don't think he deserves a girl. So I found it funny that he doesn't understand how Misao got both of the girls he was pursuing. It just made me laugh. My opinion of course. I just NEVER will be fond of him.

I want to thank everyone again for reviewing. It was a pleasure writing this story for you.
