The 7 Deadly Sins

Epilogue

SAM

"What in the name of Jesus on a bicycle are you guys taking me to?" I asked as I was blindfolded and being led to somewhere random. Apparently it was a "surprise".

"You'll see," I heard Sean's voice say stealthily.

I swear, I have the weirdest friends.

We arrived and my blindfold was not removed as I was told to not remove it yet. A few minutes later, I heard a very familiar girl voice say, "What is this 'surprise' for me?"

I took off my blindfold just then. "E-Elle?"

Elle took off her blindfold as well. She didn't say anything but stared right at me, as if she wasn't expecting this. Well, duh, she wasn't. I didn't either.

The two of us slowly advanced (what, saying walking is too simple) towards each other, and grabbed each other's hands. After that, it was basically slow-dance mode.

At one point, I believe someone threw in a spotlight on us. I don't know if Elle noticed, but it was too bright in my eyes. I stopped dancing for a short period of time and yelled, "TURN THE DAMN BRIGHTNESS DOWN!"

After that, things were better. While the dancing continued, Elle said, "I never thought I'd see you again. You never told me you lived here."

"Neither did you tell me you lived here," I replied soothingly.

To answer the question you're probably thinking about right now, yes, we kissed after the song. That was the first time I've ever actually kissed a girl. It felt magnificent.

After that, we looked across into the night sky. I don't know if it was instinct or what, but I saw a small light going through the sky. Partly thanks to my mind power, I saw what it meant.

Elle looked at me oddly, saying, "Sam, what are you looking at?"

I pointed out the light, and said, "That light. It's a symbol of our adventures. And notice the small lights following it. That means that while it may not happen tomorrow, it may not happen next week, and it may not even happen next month, but somewhere, someday, sometime, a new adventure will spark. We will have to traverse again, probably for as long as we live. Our whole lives are adventures, just waiting to be explored."

"So, what does this mean?" Anastasia asked.

I took Elle's hand in mine just then. "We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds, as for now, we are not even close to finished with our epic adventures. We'll just have to see."

I knew I was right. All of us stared off into the sky and gazed at the lights.

Well, see you next adventure, I guess. May our lives and yours forever live on.

THE END!
