As Sherlock Gnomes looked for Moriarty inside of London Bridge, a feeling of dread had settled into his heart. This was all his fault. If he hadn't taken Watson for granted then everything would be just fine. But, for now, he had to focus on saving everyone.
"Oh, Sherlyyyy!!!" Moriarty sang from another part of the bridge. He seemed far away, but it was only because of the echo against the metal walls.
"Your plan has been officially foiled, Moriarty," Sherlock said, running after the sound of the villain's voice. "Just give up already!"
"How about you give it up already, Sherlock? There's no point in continuing this pointless game of cat and mouse we always end up playing. We're too equal in skills and intellect to go on like this, wouldn't you agree? We're practically the same person. You are the sun and I am the moooon!" Moriarty sang again, turning the corner right as Sherlock caught up with him.
"Those two aren't the same," Sherlock said, dodging a small rocket-like firework that Moriarty all-of-a-sudden shot at him.
"Well- you get my point!" Moriarty said, running over to a set of pipes that Sherlock had begun to climb up. He then pointed his firework launcher directly at Sherlock and fired.
"Agh!" Sherlock yelled as his leg was hit by a firework. He could feel the porcelain chip, but kept holding onto the pipe.
*Your POV*
As you and the other gnomes anxiously waited for Sherlock's return from the inside of the bridge, you paced while Juliet and Watson comforted you. Suddenly, you noticed something at the top of the bridge tower. It was Sherlock! And Moriarty wasn't too far behind him...
"SHERLOCK, LOOK OUT!" Watson yelled.
*Back to Sherlock*
Sherlock stumbled backwards as Moriarty placed a foot on his hurt leg.
"You've lost, Sherlock. And now... I'm going to make you and your friends pay," Moriarty snarled as he kicked Sherlock off of the tower and onto the ledge below.
"SHERLOCK!!!" A voice screamed. Sherlock recognized it as yours.
"I'm sorry, (Y/n)," he muttered as Moriarty drew closer.
"You stay here while I go mercilessly destroy all of your loved ones, okay?" Moriarty said, placing a final stomp on Sherlock's badly cracked leg. He then hopped down to where all of you were standing. "Who's going to their watery demise first? How about you, purple girl?"
Gnomeo, Juliet, and Watson all stepped in front of you to defend you, but all of a sudden, you heard a "NO!" and Sherlock shoved Moriarty so he wouldn't be able to hurt you.
"We have to do something," Watson said with an anxious expression. Suddenly, his face lit up. "I have an idea! Sherlock, move out of the way!" Watson yelled and threw his cane (that could turn into a grappling hook) at Moriarty, knocking him off of the bridge. But, before Moriarty could fall into the water, he grabbed onto Sherlock's coat, pulling him down as well.
"NO!!!" Everyone cried in terror. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. But as the enemies were falling closer and closer to the river, Watson's grappling hook/cane caught Sherlock. Moriarty plunged into the cold, dirty water of the Thames River with an outraged shriek.
Sherlock was pulled up and you immediately embraced him. He hugged you back with a strained chuckle and you pulled back to gaze at him worriedly. "Is your leg hurt very badly?" you asked.
"(Y/n), my dear, I would endure pain one thousand times worse than this to be with you," Sherlock said, gazing back at you with loving eyes.
"It's good to have you back. Next time don't go jumping off of bridge towers just to show off," Watson said with a laugh, helping his friend to his feet.
"You know me, Watson. I've always had quit a flare for the dramatic." Then, Sherlock's expression turned to one of guilt. "Again, I'm terribly sorry for my unacceptable behavior, old chap. Could we perhaps be case-solving partners ever again?"
Watson smiled and shook Sherlock's hand. "Partners. Watson and Sherlock. Yes, I quite like the sound of that."
The rest of the gnomes below witnessed the entire ordeal and started cheering loudly. Gnomeo and Juliet shared a kiss, and Sherlock turned to you. "Um- heh heh... (Y/n), would it be quite alright if I... if we..."
You laughed and pulled him down to your height. "Yes."
As you and Sherlock shared your very first kiss, fireworks started to go off behind the bridge and the gnomes continued cheering. You had done it. You had saved the gnomes and you and Sherlock were finally together.
(NOT THE END JUST YET!)
