Surprise Appearances

Kassie was simply speechless. She looked around. Everyone was crying and clapping, cameras were flashing, and reporters were reporting. Kassie hugged Arcus tightly, struggling not to cry. "What the hell am I going to do with you!?" she asked.

Arcus laughed, hugging her just as tight. "Nothing. Just let me love you as much as you love me." he said simply. He chuckled. 'Now how am I going to top this?' he thought.

Kassie threw a thumbs up of the octet Arcus had put together. "Thank you! Nice work!" she yelled over to them.

They bowed to her, like a queen. Kassie felt amazing. "This is actually happening right now." She had to yell over the loud applause. She looked over at a crying Sophie and Crystal, laughing. She looked at Arcus lovingly, sighing happily.

Arcus doesn't notice as the reporter and cameraman start tearing up as they slowly walk forward and look around. He's too happy and he's concentrating on not crying himself. Arcus didn't want to put her down. Ever. Never again.

Nala jumps into Kassie's arms, along with the roses. She laughed. "Look what he did for me Nala." She noticed her meowing, and she turned to look in her direction. She saw the reporters, and she smiled and waved at the cameras.

Kassie pulled out her phone, taking a peek at the trending tweets. Her and Arcus were the #1 trending tweet in the world. She smiled, her plan working. Everything was falling into place, and she felt happy. She put her phone back.

Arcus hums. "My missing puzzle piece. I'm complete." As he stares into Kassie's eyes, grinning like a dork.

Kassie softly sings back. "The peanut to jelly, the notes to my music, and the missing piece from my heart." She laughs at her lyrics, smiling. "I love you. So much. You don't understand."

Smiling, Arcus looked at Kassie. "I love you too. Now you've met my family. When can I meet yours?" He turns around, still carrying Kassie, and sees Sophie and Crystal still crying. He raises an eyebrow. "Crybabies."

Sophie yells, "SHUT UP YOU CORNY ASSHOLE! That was beautiful." she continues crying, completely removing her makeup.

Crystal sniffles and blows her nose, pulling herself together.

A guy bursts through the door, he's shorter than Arcus but they look weirdly similar. "DUDE! Are you getting married or something?!"

Arcus' entire face and neck go red. "N-no. Th-this is Kassie." He chuckles awkwardly.

The guy raises an eyebrow at Arcus. "And since when do you sing? Have you been watching Glee again?" He sighs. "Of course you have. That song is in there."

Arcus laughs. "Maybe it's from Glee, Maybe it's from YouTube, maybe it's-"

"DONT SAY ITS MAYBELLINE!" Crystal yells at him.

Kassie simply laughs and looks as Nala tries to eat a rose. She sneezes, spitting it out. Kassie looks at the new guy, raising an eyebrow. Who was he?

The guy laughs at them. "Eric is at your house with the rest of the family. As soon as we got the text from Crystal we hopped the next plane over here. They're happy that you're not dead and they want to meet Kassie, Ay-sap."

Crystal scoffs. "Crixus, they just had their happy moment. I don't think we should ruin it with our damn warrior tribe."

"Where is she!" A familiar voice rang out.

Kassie grinned. "Mom!" Kassie yelled.

A female pushed through the crowd, grinning at Kassie. She had brown eyes and matching hair. She had on a simple shirt with skinny jeans and converse. She was a cool mom. She looked at Arcus and laughed. "This is him?" she yelled.

Kassie nodded. "Yeah!"

Arcus looked down at the female near Kassie, holding her close and protectively. Odd enough, the new woman looked like an older version of Kassie with brown hair. "Who's this?" he questioned.

She laughs, looking at her mother, nodding. "Arcus, meet my mom, Cassandra. Mother meet Arcus, my boyfriend." She blushed a bit when she said boyfriend, but hid it by hiding in Arcus' neck.

Cassandra laughed, waving. Everyone was mingling with each other. Soon, things were starting to get out of hand. People were talking over one another, and swarms of photographers and reporters were coming. The camera flashes were almost blinding. Arcus noticed first. "Let's go everyone!" he yelled.

Cassandra looked around, laughing. "Proper introductions are set after we leave! Let's go!" she said.

"I'll meet you guys at the house! With food!" Sophie yelled. If the entire family was there to meet Kassie, no doubt was the fridge empty. She waved them off, fighting her way through the crowd.

A huge black limo pulled up for Kassie, Cassandra, Arcus, Crystal, Crixus, and the rose eating Nala.
