Rating: G
The last chapter!



	Nervously, and with a shaking hand, she knocked on the door.
	Her heart thumped wildly in her chest. She closed her eyes and made a 
silent prayer before opening her eyes when the door opened.
	“Katherine? What are you doing here?”
	Michael mentally slapped himself in the head for the stupid question.
	“I was wondering if you had a minuet.” she said quietly, nervously 
holding 
on to the poem in her pant pocket.
	“Sure.” He opened the door wider, allowing her to walk in before 
taking her 
coat, and hanging it on the rack. After offering her a seat, that she 
rejected, he walk over to a wall and leaned on it. “So, what’s up?”
	She sighed. “I guess you were wondering about why I’ve ignored you for 
a 
while.”
	He bobbed his head around. “Yeah, that came to my mind every now and 
then.”
	She stood up and walked toward him, her head ducked down. “I have 
absolutely no clue how to say this...but...”
	“My letter scared you.”
	Her eyes flew up to meet his.
	He smiled. “ I had a feeling it would. But I’ll have you know that I 
meant 
every word I said.”
	She blushed and hung her head, rubbing her hands nervously as she did. 
Whenever she was nervous her hands always got cold. This had to be the 
worst 
time it could happen. He walked over to her and held her hands for 
warmth. 
Though she was shocked, she refused to meet his eyes. Why did he always 
have 
to be warm??
	“I know your totally embarrassed about this and your not used to it, 
but 
that’s only one of the reasons I feel this way for you. You’re 
innocent, and 
very cute when you blush, but you also have a good heart. When you 
accepted 
me as a friend, I knew I had a chance. To tell the truth when you said 
those 
things about me, I thought I had lost you. But some part of me told me 
to 
keep going for you. And I have a pretty good feeling that it was my 
alter-ego, Drinien. But either him or no, I do know one thing,” he used 
one 
of his hands to tilt her head up so she would look at him. “I tried to 
put 
every ounce of my emotions in that letter. I knew I couldn’t put all of 
it 
in, though, because I didn’t know how you felt about me. I didn’t want 
to 
terrify you into having to think that you had to like me or anything. I 
wanted to be true. I wanted to-”
	“I cried when I finished the letter.”
	She opened her eyes to look at him, and he looked at her tears that 
fell 
down her cheek. That was something he had seen before, but he knew 
Katherine 
never wanted to show that kind of emotion. It made him glad that 
nothing was 
stopping her.
	“I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. I never wanted to 
admit 
it. I didn’t know you, and I was scared. I had no clue what to do, so I 
ignored you.”
	She broke away from his hold and put the heel of her hand on her 
forehead 
and laughed a little. “Now I feel like an absolute idiot.”
	Michael smiled at her. “Don’t worry. You’ve just said the most 
incredible 
words I’ve ever heard in my life.”
	Katherine put her hands on her face. “No, you don’t understand. I 
shouldn’t 
have come here. Sorry to disturb you.” She took a quick bow before 
bolting 
out the door, slamming it shut and running down the hall with his words 
echoing in her mind,
	“Katherine! Stop!”



~Katherine~

	I was such an idiot! Were did the very thought to see him even come 
from?? 
I mean, I know the guy is crazy about me but...
	I ran out of the building and went to a small dock out by a lake. Yes, 
I 
know it would be unusual for a person to not be wearing a coat in 
mid-February, but really, if you were in my situation, would you really 
care?
	My mind was still screaming at me when I sat down at the edge of the 
dock. 
Man, why did that boy have to be so darn special?!? He just drove me 
nuts, 
and I don’t....I don’t know. I know he likes me. Heck, he might even 
love 
me! But do I really love him? I mean, sure I just said I felt the same 
way, 
but do I mean it?
	I tried to reason with my mind, trying to convince myself that I was 
NOT 
falling in love with him but...I knew I would loose. So I just gave up.
	“I love him.” I whispered in a very quiet voice. It wasn’t good enough 
though, and my emotions suddenly went wild.
	“I love him.” I said a little louder. Then as my mind was taking in 
what I 
was saying, I realized that speaking it wasn’t enough.
	“I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM, OKAY GOD?? IT’S YOUR FAULT!”
	I fell back against the boards, not really caring that they were wet 
with 
snow, and my eyes filled with tears, a smile on my face. Goodness, I 
really 
did love him. And he loved me. So....why was I so nervous?
	True I had never been in love before, but this was so..new.  The 
stupidity 
of it all hit me. I was the “Love Doctor”, right? I know what I need to 
do!
	But that advice...it was all worthless now. It was love. True and 
true. 
Someone in the world loved me, and I loved them. A comforting peace 
came 
over me. I was loved. Truly loved. And the other person needed me. Not 
because I was Adrian and he was Drinien, or we were destined or 
anything, 
but it was God. We were meant for each other.
	Courage filled my heart as I ran back to my home, and now, I was 
confident. 
Confident in what I would do and say. Love is a strong force, and my 
other 
half needed it. Longed for it.
	I have a feeling I know what to do now...



	“{I’ve lost her this time.}”
	Michael sat back down on his sofa, his eyes closed in thought. His 
eyes 
opened to look at the doorway where she had left. The door was still 
open. 
He hadn’t cared to shut it. Not with what she said.
	“{Yet, she said she loved me. I KNOW she loves me. But why did she 
run?}”
	He rubbed his hands over his eyes, slowly flooding with tears. What 
was 
wrong?
	“The car accident,” he whispered through his hands. “of course the 
accident. She didn’t feel ready and her family had died...her brother, 
her 
parents..she couldn’t go on without them...”
	“I wouldn’t allow myself to.”
	Michael looked at the doorway. Katherine was there, looking at him 
with a 
slight sorrowful look on her face. Two tears came out of her eyes.
	“When the accident happened, I made myself cold because I thought if I 
got 
into a relationship that I would be hurt again. It didn’t feel right 
without 
my parents to help me with dating or without my brother to help on boy 
situations. It took me two years to realize that I needed to count on 
God.”
	He stood and walked over to her. “And what has God told you?”
	“That there is a handsome young man out there, that knows me and loves 
me 
for who I am, and would never hurt me. Who loves the way that I feel 
free to 
give out advice, regardless of it being stupid or not. Who knows about 
my 
hardships and wants to make it right for me. Who knows that I would 
come 
back, and ask him what he’s asking me for.”
	He wasn’t more than an arm’s length away...
	“You sure God told you all of that?”
	“Some of it.” She laughed a little and he smiled at her.
	“You know I do love you for who you are, and that I would never hurt 
you. 
And I love how you like to be helpful, and I do want to make your 
hardships 
right for you. And...I do want you to ask me, so I can know how you 
really 
feel.”
	He cupped her cheek in a hand and his thumb brushed over the small 
scar.
	“Michael...do you really love me?” Her eyes started to brim with tears 
and 
he brushed them away.
	“Now and forever. Here ‘till the end of time. And I won’t stop loving 
you, 
even then.”
	He pulled her close to him until he was embracing her, comforting her 
in 
his strong arms.
	“Now I think it’s your turn.”
	She smiled. She didn’t even need to look at him. “In the Bible it says 
that 
love is stronger than death, and that many waters could never destroy 
it. I 
have a feeling that’s us, because I love you too, in every little way.”
	His smile widened as he held her tighter. She loved him. She truly 
loved 
him.
	It was a sweet beginning.



	Four years later, the wedding of the century was written in the 
history 
books. Serena and Darien’s wedding was to be recorded later on in the 
years 
as the most monumental wedding that ever took place. For in that time, 
the 
chapters for the Silver Millennium ended, and a new age began. The age 
that 
Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion would rule as King and Queen of 
the 
Earth and Moon, and peace would come over every being.
	As for Michael and Katherine, they were married a week after Darien 
and 
Serena, still remaining the great friends to
the new King and Queen. But Katherine would be haunted by a new 
trouble, and 
a new enemy that would come after her in their new age.
	But that, my friends, is a whole new book.
