Cara's POV

The end of the day came quickly as I was exited for the party. I wanted to see everyone happy again, and possibly fall asleep knowing I had done something worth while. Frantically, I rushed home and collected the small amount of belongings I would need for the night; toothbrush and paste, 'jamas, underwear, more clothes, deodorant. All collected.

'Cya Michael! Do not touch my stuff while I'm gone because I will cut open your stomach and force you to eat your intestines!' I shouted to my idiot brother.

'Is that it? I may as well have a go then, you've done worse than that before.' He shouted back.

I shook my head and ran down the stairs, told Mum that I'd be staying out tonight. She gave me the 'stay safe' talk but I had had this talk so many times I practically knew it off by heart.

Once she was finished, I ran back to school. I ran round the back and into the forest. Luckily, I ran into Lanti and she showed me the way.

'You exited Cara? I know I am. I mean, it will be like old times.' Lanti said excitedly. I was on her level. It had been ages since we'd been together as a group. Now, we had more members and it looked like a good start.

We arrived to the 'lair' in good time. We climbed the steel ladder and reached the platform. Then, I saw the beautifully decorated front entrance. It was truly magnificent. The wood was carved into shapes of squirrels and birds. They were then painted to make it look real, and they truly did. If Lanti hadn't told me that Arthur had done this himself, I could have believed they were real animals.

'Welcome, Lantz and Cara, to my lovely abode. Sherlock and john are cuddling in that corner.' He stretched out his arm and pointed to two silhouettes in the distant corner near the hallway leading to the other rooms. 'Make yourself comfy, We are still waiting for the others.'

'We can totally use this time to catch up! We haven't had a girl talk in ages!!!' Lanti enthusiastically said. We walked over to the wooden sofa, covered in a brown and white throw. It was so comfy. You could feel the strength of the wood, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all.

'So, what has happened that you wanna tell me?' I asked.

'Well, since we last talked; I beat up Dean, I dated Arthur, I broke up with Arthur, I plotted Merlin's death, repeatedly and I worried constantly about you when you were in hospital. What the actual flip happened to you?'

'I got a really bad illness.' I lied. I couldn't tell her the truth yet.

'Oh no! But I'm glad you recovered.' She hugged me tightly. I laughed in return.

'Everyone's here! Lets play something!' Arthur announced.

We all gathered in the middle of the room and sat in a circle; I was sat just in front of the sofa, Lanti was on my left, Arthur was on her left, Merlin on his left, Dean on his left, Cas sat opposite me, Sherlock was on my Right, John on his right, Sam on his right and finally Gabe next to Cas and Sam.

'Okay, ground rules,' Arthur started, 'First, if you have a significant other they do not count. Be prepared to do stuff with other people. If you don't want to, please leave now.' No one moved.

'I'm down for this. Free for all!' Dean announced.

'Secondly, No forfeits. Just have a fun time and do as you're dared.' Some mutters were exchanged. This was gonna be interesting. 'And finally, I start. Remember, we all wanna have fun. Play nicely.' He finished with a wink.

A couple of simple rounds went by: pecks, hugs, cuddles, licking people, but nothing exiting as such. Merlin looked my way and saw me falling asleep slowly.

'Okay, my dare.... Cara.' Merlin said. I looked up and saw a massive grin on his face. I was screwed.

'Go on...' I replied.

'I dare you to do what I unfortunately interrupted last time.' Everyone was confused except from me. Last year, the end of year party Merlin wanted me to kiss Atlanta. I looked over to her. She remembered instantly. 'Oh, and before I forget, do it here. No hidden studies.' He grinned.

I turned to face Lanti once again and she accepted the fact. I grabbed the back of her head gently, hooking my fingers into her hair. She rested her hand on my face and slowly, we closed the gap. Her soft lips gently placed against mine and her sweet strawberry chap stick joined our lips together. Our bodies began closer together and my other hand went to her waist. We broke for air and looked lustfully at each other. Well done Cara, you did it. You waited so long for it and you have done it. I know, and it was amazing.

'Is that your plan then Merlin? Cara and Lanti?' Sam asked.

'Yes, I told you I'd get everyone together. And I told you two that I'd find you you're true partner.' He smiled, but not a cunning smile, or one after a plan; but a smile of true happiness.

Merlin doesn't have anyone... Wait... Neither does Arthur.... Wait.... Merlin likes Arthur. Could Arthur like Merlin? When I told him about Merlin, he did blush a little.

'But you haven't got anyone for yourself Merl.' I replied.

'It's cool, I didn't do it for that reason, I wanted to see you all happy. You all deserve your happily ever after.' He replied sadly. Everyone thanked Merlin for his hard work. Lanti took my hand and held it, smiling. Merlin was right, he got everyone their happily ever after. Now, I need to get him his.

'My dare right?' I said knowing who I was going to set up. 'Arthur, give Merlin his happily ever after.' Merlin looked at me, gobsmacked. He started to cry a little while turning to face The Prince.

'Don't cry baby, you deserve one as much as everyone else.' Arthur said while cuddling into Merlin's neck. This was too much for him to deal with. Everyone finally had someone. It was perfect. But, when does perfection last.

'Where are the angels.... they're gonna die tonight!' Deans father shouted as he burst through the front door.

Oh no......
