Their dinner came and they ate and talked. After the dishes were taken away, Austin cleared his throat.
"Eric, Karly, there was a reason for this dinner tonight, I know I brought Abby with me which in turn had you two get dates, but there is another matter at hand here," Austin said.
"What is it?" Eric asked.
"Should we talk in private?" Karly asked.
"No, it's okay, I don't want it to be a secret, it can just stay with all of us here at this table, I trust Abby, if you two can trust Luke and Hayley," Austin said.
"I know I trust Hayley, and Luke is her brother," Karly said.
"You can trust me," Luke said.
"And me," Hayley said.
"Austin" Abby said.
"Abby has been helping me pack up our parents house and we came across Dad's will," Austin said.
"Dad's will was read already, you know that," Eric said.
"That was the old one, this one is newer," Austin said.
"Dad died a year ago, why would he have two wills?" Karly said.
"He has this one drawn up and notarized but he died before he could get it to his lawyer which is why his old one was read," Austin said.
"What does it say," Eric said.
"He has three hundred billion dollars set up for the three of us in a bank, we each get 100 billion dollars if we each complete one task," Austin said.
"Which is?" Karly asked.
"You three will have to get married by the end of the month or the money disappears forever," Abby said.
"Dad worked hard for that money, we can't let it disappear," Austin said.
"So you brought Abby because it was an incentive for us to find the one we are to marry," Eric said.
"I can't believe this, why would Dad do this," Karly said.
"Did you take it to the lawyer to see if it's for real?" Eric asked.
"Yes, and it replaces the will that was read, we all have twenty days to find our other halves and it has to be for love," Austin said.
"No one can fall in love in twenty days," Karly said.
"I did, I met Abby and it was love at first sight," Austin said. Abby held up her hand and they saw the ring.
"Two weeks and you are engaged already," Eric said.
"So you will get your part of the money," Karly said.
"The will states that all of us have to get married or no one gets anything, even if I was the one who gets married, I won't get my part either way, all three of us have to get married to get the money or none of us get anything," Austin said.
"Oh great, thanks Dad," Eric said.
"Eric, I'll do it, I'll be your wife, I can't let you guys lose that money," Hayley said.
"Really?" Eric asked.
"Yes, I've always liked you, you know," Hayley said.
"Same here, was just shy about asking you out," Eric said.
"Don't be shy anymore, will you marry me, Eric Davis?" Hayley asked.
"Yes, Hayley, Stone, I will marry you now we will have to go shopping for a ring tomorrow," Eric said.
"If my boss lets me off work," Hayley said.
"I guess I have to," Karly said.
"So that leaves Karly," Austin said.
"I'll do it," Luke said.
"You would marry me?" Karly asked.
"Yeah," Luke said.
"You sure about this?" Karly said.
"Yes, Karly, I am, I wanted to get to know you better anyways," Luke said.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing," Karly said.
"Okay, then it's settled, I will call the lawyer tomorrow and tell him the news," Austin said.
"How about a triple wedding," Abby said.
"Okay so we can start planning tomorrow afternoon," Hayley said.
"We have to tell Mom and Dad and they will want to be Karly and Eric," Luke said.
"Austin has met my parents already," Abby said.
"Well, Luke, Hayley, Abby, wish you could meet ours but you can't," Karly said.
"It's okay, our parents will like you two and consider you both family," Luke said.
"We should get going," Hayley said.
"Eric, Karly, how about coming to the house to meet them," Luke said.
"Probably should if I'm marrying their daughter," Eric said.
"And I'm marrying their son," Karly said.
"I'll call you guys tomorrow and we will all get together to start planning," Austin said. Austin paid the bill and they all got up and walked outside. Eric and Karly hugged Austin and Abby and they left.
