Emmi looked out the plane window excitedly as the taxied onto the runway. She bounced in her seat as Anna sat next to her, eyes closed, gripping the armrests and saying a silent prayer. It had taken all of N Sync, Emmi and Nicole to convince Anna to fly to Orlando instead of driving, and now they were arriving Orlando International Airport, the day before JC and Nicole's wedding.

Emmi hardly waited for the seat belt light to be turned off before bouncing out of her chair and over Anna.

"We're here, Anna, we're here!!!" Emmi stumbled over Anna's bag, landing in her lap.

"Yes, and we made it in one piece, thank heavens. Now get off me." Anna pushed her younger sister off of her, and giggled. "Isn't someone supposed to be meeting us here?" Anna asked, unbuckling her seat belt.

Emmi's face lit up like someone had flipped her internal light switch. "Lance!" Emmi shoved her way down the aisle, almost knocking an old woman over. She ignored the disapproving shouts as she sprinted down the gangway, stopping abruptly at the end, her eyes looking everywhere at once.

Emmi took a few steps forward, her heart sinking lower and lower. "Well, where the devil is he…" she mutter, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Looking for someone?" Emmi jumped at both the voice in her ear and the arms around her waist.

"Yeah, tall, dark, blue eyes, named JC. He's my lover." Emmi rolled her eyes, smiling. The arms immediately released her.

"Oh, now that was just cold." Lance pouted as he lowered his sunglasses.

"What on earth happened to your head?" Emmi sputtered as her jaw reached somewhere around her knees.

"I got tired of being so recognizable, and the hair wasn't helping." Lance ran a hand through his now dark brown hair. "This is my natural color, so I figured it can't look all that bad."

"It looks great. Just…it was a shock." Emmi smiled, suddenly nervous. She and Lance hadn't seen each other in almost three months, and she was unsure what to say now.

Lance solved that problem by pulling her into a giant hug. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do this." He pulled back slightly, letting their lips meet.

Anna finally made her way off the plane, with both her and Emmi's carry-on bags, just in time to see Lance and Emmi kiss. She waked over to a row of chairs, and setting the bags down, sat with a slight huff. Here she was, flying all this way to be in a good friend’s wedding, and, truth be told, to see Joey. And he doesn't even have the decency to meet her at the airport. They had been talking almost every day since he left, and Anna knew he was as excited about seeing her as she was to see him. And now, watching Emmi and Lance embrace, she felt like she was really missing out on something with Joey. Lance smiled down at Emmi and pushed his sunglasses further up on his nose. "Now, where's that sister of yours?"

Emmi looked around and spotted Anna sitting in a bank of chairs. Grabbing Lance's hand, they walked over.

"Ready to go, Em?" Anna asked dryly, picking up her carry-on.

"Yeah, you?" Emmi ignored Anna's tone and bent to retrieve her own carry-on.

"Let me get that for you." Lance's hand covered hers as he picked up Emmi's bag and slung it onto his shoulder. He weaved his fingers with Emmi's, and started walking to the main entrance.

Anna walked slightly behind them. She was mad, but only at herself. By now, she had probably blown any chance she had with Joey. All she had done was string him along and make him wait and wait. Anna wouldn't blame him if he got tired of waiting. It had taken them being apart for Anna to fully realize what her feelings for Joey were. She loved him, plain and simple. Now, the task was going to be telling him.

"There's the car." Lance used his free hand to point to a dark blue Toyota 4Runner. He and Emmi walked over, Anna following them, staring at her feet. As the neared the car, the driver’s side door opened, and a man slid out. He walked around to the front of the car, and stated headed towards Anna, who was still not paying any attention to where she was walking. Anna was thinking about her eventual confrontation with Joey when her body hit into something warm and solid.

"I'm so sor--" Anna looked up into the eyes she knew so well. "Joey?"

"Hey, Anna. Sorry I couldn't come in to meet you, but someone had to keep the car running." Joy said, sliding Anna's luggage strap off her shoulder and onto his. He grabbed her by the hand, pulling her to the car. "Hop in, I'm just going to put this in the back." Anna got into the passenger seat as Joey put her carry-on into the back on the SUV. To her surprise, the rest of their luggage was already there.

"How did our bags get into your car?" Anna asked as Joey started the car.

"One of our bodyguards went and picked 'em up. Emmi had given them a description, so it was easy to find." Joey snapped his seat belt into place as he pulled into traffic. Anna settled back in her seat, looking out the window. Everclear was playing in the CD player, and Joey hummed along as he drove. Anna turned slightly so she could watch his profile as he drove. It had been too long since she had seen his face up close, and she was going to take every opportunity she had to study his strong jaw and sparkling eyes.

"How was the flight? As bad as you expected?" Joey said suddenly, his voice reflecting the teasing glint in his eyes as he glanced at Anna.

"Well, I didn't die, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Anna joked back. "No, it was a nice flight."

"Yeah, like you had your eyes open for any of it." Emmi added from the back. Lance and Joey both laughed as Anna glared at Emmi.

"Okay, so I hate flying. And I get to do it again in three days." She lamented.

"Three days? Em, didn't you tell her?" Lance asked, looking at Emmi suspiciously.

"I was going to let Joey tell her." Emmi said, giving Lance a look and an elbow in the ribs.

"Oh. Right. Sorry." Lance rubbed the now sore spot in his side.

"Tell me what?" Anna looked from Emmi, who stared out the window, to Lance, who was studying his hands, to Joey, who grinned.

"Well?" Anna asked, slightly impatiently. She didn't like secrets, and this one was really getting to her for some reason.

"You know how the bride and groom always give presents to their bridesmaids and groomsmen?" Anna nodded her head.

"Well, Nicole and JC decided to give theirs a little trip."

"To where?" Anna asked, her eyes growing wide.

"This little place in Vermont. A long ski weekend, this Thursday, Friday and Saturday." Joey looked at Anna's shock and laughed.

"But, I don't have anything for cold weather." Anna stuttered.

"Yes you do, I repacked for you last night." Emmi informed her.

"I can't believe this…or them. Wow." Anna sat back, stunned still. Joey reached over, squeezing her hand.

"It's their way of thanking all of us. It's going to be a lot of fun." He let his hand rest on hers as her went back to driving.

Anna looked down at their hands, and turned hers to she could lace her fingers through his. Joey smiled to himself as he drove everyone to the hotel.

Night fell fast, as everyone wound up at Chris and Terri's house before the rehearsal dinner. Terri was sitting in a recliner, pregnant as, well, as a woman 9 months pregnant with twins. Chris was seated on the floor next to her, and Terri lazily ran her fingers through Chris's hair. Ever since he cut it, she had loved the feel of it.

Justin and Symone were sitting on the floor, their backs against the couch, playing with Busta and talking to Lance and Emmi who were sitting on the couch above them. JC and Nicole were looking over a list of last-minute things to do tomorrow before the 4 o'clock wedding. The conversation drifted from the upcoming nuptials and Terri's pending birth to song ideas for the new album and when recording was going to begin.

"Hey, where did Joey and Anna go?" Emmi suddenly asked, looking around the room. "They were just here…."

"Hey Justin." JC called, his blue eyes glinting with a mysterious light.

"Hey JC." Justin grinned broadly. Emmi looked back and forth between the two men.

"Oh no you don't. Not again," she groaned, hitting her forehead with the heel of her hand. Everyone else in the room looked at them like they were mad.

"I'm lost. What gives?" Nicole asked.

"When the guys first came to the farm, JC, Justin and I bet on how long it would take Lance and I to get together. I think JC won that one. I have a feeling that this trip’s bet will be on Joe and Anna. Am I right?" Emmi concluded.

JC and Justin nodded sheepishly.

"Well, then. I know my sister pretty well…put me down for by the end of the night." Emmi said, reaching into her pocket for her wallet.

Joey and Anna were out back sitting on the porch swing. No words were spoken. Anna concentrated on the stars, and Joey concentrated on Anna.

"I didn't think you were going to be there this afternoon." Anna said, turning to look at Joey.

"Where else would I be?" Joey smiled slightly. Anna looked so girlish in an oversized sweater pulled over her tucked-up knees and her hair hanging loose.

"I guess I figured you had some girl to be hanging with. That you got tired of waiting for me to make up my mind." Anna looked at her fingers, the grass and snail, anything to avoid looking at Joey.

"Hey, I've got a great amount of both curiosity and hope. I never gave up hoping that you would finally decide, and my curiosity wouldn't let me even think of another girl until I knew." Joey paused, not quite sure how to phrase his next question. Best to just be blunt about it. "Have you decided?"

Anna looked at him, finally. Part of him knew he didn't need her answer to know. Her face, her body, it was almost as if Anna radiated with love.

She nodded her head. "After you left, I realized how much a part of my life you became. The three days after you left that we didn't talk, I wasn't sure how I was going to make it until now. And that scared me. I've never felt this way about someone, felt like I couldn't live without them. I knew then what I've been fighting for a long time. That I had found you after all. I don't want to let you go now." Anna choked on her last words, swallowing her tears. A few escaped down her face.

Joey leaned over, kissing her tears away. "You're going to wish you never said that."

Anna looked at him, puzzled. "Why? You don't want to hear it? I'm sorry, Joey, I just wanted to---"

"No, I wanted to hear that more than I would want to hear that-that we won a Grammy. I meant, I'm going to be around so much that you'll never get the chance to let me go." Joey smiled cheekily.

"That is never going to happen, buddy." Anna leaned closer to let her lips touch his.

The next day started early with a flurry of activity. The men were busy helping to set up the reception hall while the women were getting hair, nails and make-up done. Flowers were picked up and arranged, dresses and tuxedoes were given one last pressing. Neither Nicole nor JC could keep the immense smiles off their faces.

"Hey, JC! I could use a little help here!" JC snapped out of his daydream to see Chris about to drop a pile of freshly cleaned and folded tablecloths.

"Ally-oop!" JC said, steadying Chris while taking the top half of the pile with him.

"Thanks, man." Chris followed JC over to the tables to start setting them up. Almost one-hundred octagonal tables were scattered around the dance floor. While the wedding ceremony itself was just for family and close friends, the reception is where all the media and public relations connections had been invited.

"So, are you ready for the old ball and chain?" Chris asked as he and JC went to each table, unfolding the tablecloth and draping it.

"No, but I am ready to spend the rest of my life with the most wonderful woman in the world." JC smiled.

"Right. That's what I said, too. Boy, those were the good old days." Chris wiped the goofy smile off his face and began serious. "Man, I am really happy for you. I'm about to be a father, and you're about to be married. We've really grown up the past few years, haven't we? And we've been blessed enough to have these wonderful women enter our lives. I'm really happy for you."

JC stopped unfolding the tablecloth. "Thanks, Chris. I think we are 5 of the luckiest men in the world. I'm glad I got to be a part of all this." So, what do you think the women are talking about right now?" Chris mused.

"Us, probably." Chris and JC chuckled, unfolding yet another tablecloth.

"Up or down? I really can't decide here…" Nicole trailed off, twisting a handful of her brown hair up and away from her face. Then she let the strands settle back down onto her shoulders.

Symone stood behind her, armed with a brush and a can of hair spray. "Make up your mind," she mumbled, her mouth full of bobby pins.

Nicole sighed dramatically, closing her eyes. "I give up, lil sis. I trust you to make it look good." ymone cocked and eyebrow, grinning impishly. "Okay."

Terri looked up from her magazine at Emmi, who was brushing and braiding Terri's hair. "I think the stress is finally making Nicole crack. She's letting Symone control her fate."

Emmi giggled, twisting an elastic on the end of the French braid. "Nah, she's just realized that once she and JC are married, it won't matter what she looks like. She can let Symone do her hair all the time then, so she might as well get a head start." The two women laughed at the annoyed glance Symone shot them.

"I think she's going to do fine." Anna said, brushing a light touch of blush on to Jessica's pale cheeks. "Symone seems to know what she's doing, anyway."

Symone smiled gratefully at Anna and continued to wind Nicole's hair into pin curls with the bobby pins.

The girls, with the exception of Krysti who had to help out at work, due to a shortage of people, were at Nicole and Symone's house, getting ready for the big day. The large rec. room was a maze of hair supplies, make-up and nail polish. Dresses were hung up in bags along one wall, matching shoes underneath each dress. The girls continued idle chatter while making themselves beautiful for the afternoons ceremonies.

At 3:55, the girls were gathered in a room off the main foyer of the church. Nicole was standing in front of the mirror, ringlets framing her face, adjusting her dress. The full white skirt just brushed along the floor. The bodice was form-fitting and edged with seed pearls. Spaghetti straps held the gown in place as Nicole turned to look at her friends. Each of the bridesmaids had dresses similar in cuts, but with different colors. Symone's was ice blue, Jessica's pale green, Anna's pale yellow and Krysti's a light violet. It was like a mini rainbow, and Nicole loved the way all the colors looked together.

"I just wanted to thank you all for being here today. It means so much that you are in my wedding, able to share today with Josh and me. We both love you guys so much. This means the world to us." Nicole's eyes were already starting to get teary.

“Yeah, it better,” Symone grumbled playfully. “This is the second time I have had to wear a baby blue dress at a wedding, you do realize this, right? It goes to Justin’s head!” The girls all laughed, the nervous tension fleeting for a moment, until there was a knock at the door.

"Are you ready, girls?" Nicole’s father asked, poking his head in. Symone could see Justin, Lance, Chris and Joey in the foyer, waiting to escort the bridesmaids down the isle.

"Very much so, Daddy." Nicole smiled, giving each girl a hug and kiss on the cheek as they lined up in the hallway. The first strains of the wedding march began, and Nicole gripped her fingers around her father's arm. She knew everything would be all right as soon as she saw Josh, standing there and waiting for her.

Justin's little brother, Jonathan, and Adrienne tripped down the isle, staying as far apart from one another as they could. Adrienne scattered pale pink rose petals as Jon balanced the two precious rings on a tiny pillow.

Next, Chris and Jessica walked down the isle, followed by Lance and Krysti, Joey and Anna, Justin and Symone, and finally Nicole and her father.

As soon as she saw Josh standing at the altar, Tyler on his right, Nicole knew this was it. She had found the man she was destined to be with, and there was nothing that could stop this now. Not that either of them wanted it to stop.

Now she and Josh stood in of the minister, flanked by Tyler and Symone, then best man and maid of honor respectively, repeating vows to be there for each other, no matter what. As they slipped rings onto each other's fingers, they knew they were in heaven. And the kiss they shared, in front of everyone they loved, was the sweetest kiss ever.

The press had culminated en masse outside the banquet hall where the reception was being held. As the limos arrived and the doors opened, the night sky was illuminated by the camera flashes. Die-hard fans were dispersed amongst the reporters and photographers for a glimpse of the band, some crying over the loss of JC’s ‘single and ready to mingle’ status. The wedding party paused for pictures while walking toward the entrance, the whole process made the musicians feel like they were heading for an awards show instead of their friend’s wedding reception. After about 15 minutes of pictures and autographs, they finally made their way through the doors and into the ballroom.

“Let’s Parrrrrrrrrrtay!” Joey shouted.

Symone shook her head. “Does that seem eerily familiar to anybody else?” Those who had attended Chris and Terri’s reception the year before laughed.

Joey shrugged. “It’s tradition now.”

The group split up, most going to get a drink from the bar. Chris escorted Terri to their table and eased her into her chair.

“Thanks sweetie. I can’t wait to get these babies out of here later.”

Chris chuckled. “I’ll bet. And I am sure the babies can’t wait to meet the most beautiful and wonderful mommy in the whole world.”

Terri made a mock angry face. “What do you want?”

“Just you and our kids. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Symone and Justin were swaying lightly to the jazz ensemble that JC had insisted on for most of the reception. They also had a DJ on hand for the couple’s first dance and the later hours when people would want to get down and dance away their drunken stupor.

Justin smiled at his girlfriend. “You look really beautiful in that dress Sym.”

She moaned. “Oh gosh, here it comes. Nicole picked out the color Timberlake, don’t blow up your ego just yet.”

“I was just saying…my favorite girl…in my favorite color…it’s a good combination,” Justin said, nuzzling his face into her neck, his hands pressed lightly into the small of her back. It was all Symone could do to keep from sighing too loudly. Justin picked his head up and looked deep into her eyes. “But I can’t wait until I get to see you dance at a reception like this in a different color dress. Preferably white.”

Symone smiled sardonically. “What can I say? Always a baby blue bridesmaid, never a bride.”

“You just wait Symone Cabrerra. One of these days I am going to change that.”

“Then you will make me the happiest girl alive.” Symone kissed him soundly on the lips. “You wanna get out of here?”

Justin raised and eyebrow. “Ohhh, kinky…”

Symone smacked the back of his curly head lightly and then picked up the skirt of her dress in on hand. “Look down…”

Justin followed her command and then smiled brightly at the sight of her worn sneakers. “You have the ball?”

Before they made it out of the room, however, the sax player got on the microphone and introduced the new Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Chasez.

“We will go after their dance,” Symone whispered in her boyfriend’s ear while clapping for her sister and brother-in-law. Justin merely nodded, smiling at the look of pure content on his best friend’s face.

All the couples cleared the floor as the newlyweds prepared to dance to the song they had chosen. It took a very long time for them to pick because there were so many songs that described so many different aspects of their relationship. But one stood out to Nicole. It was the perfect mixture of art and music, much the way that she and Josh were. As the first strains of the song rang out into the air, everything suddenly seemed so real. They were finally husband and wife.

A simple touch of your hand,

And everything is right.

The gentle way you look at me,

When we kiss goodnight.

You've given me the freedom no other love has known

And now I thank you girl, thank you girl

The countless ways you've touched my heart

Is more than I can say.

The beauty that you've shown to me

Takes my breath away

A picture perfect painting, that's what our love is

And yes I need you so, and now I know

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you my love

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you

Sometimes I wonder what I'd be

Had I not found you

A lost and lonely soul this world

Could show me nothing new

But now my life's a canvas

Painted with your love

And it will always be

And now I see

The two of us together

Through time will never part

This fairy tale we’re sharing

Is real inside our hearts

Let it be forever

Never let it end

This promise I can make

Heaven is ours to take

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you my love

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you

When I'm lost and insecure

You build me up and make me sure

That everything will turn out right

My love

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you my love

Oh, I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you

This fairy tale we're sharing

Is real inside our hearts

Let it be forever

Never let it end*

“I love you Mrs. Chasez,” Josh whispered into his wife’s ear.

“Mrs. Chasez,” Nicole sighed. “I could definitely get used to that.”

JC laughed. “You’d better! Or else you are going to have a hell of a time getting money out of the bank.”

She couldn’t help but giggle. “Oh, by the way…”

“Yes?”

“I love you, too Mr. Chasez.”

Terri smiled at the couple so much in love and then looked at her husband. “Well honey, I think we better go now.”

“What? The party just started and I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to Jace yet.”

Terri laughed. “OK, you go talk to JC, I will get Anna to take me to the hospital. Come on over when you’re ready.” She started to stand up but Chris pushed her gently back down.

His eyes were flickering excitedly. “It’s time?”

“Well, my water just broke and I have been in labor since about the time when the minister said ‘If anyone can show just cause yadda yadda yadda…’ so I would say…”

Chris’ shouts cut her off. “I’M GONNA BE A DADDY!”

“You’ve known that for just about 9 months now Chris,” Lance said walking up to them. “Should you be that surprised, man?”

“Funny Poofoo…NO! I mean I am gonna be a daddy, like TODAY!”

Lance’s eyes went wide as he looked at Terri who smiled sheepishly and waved.

“OH MY GOSH! Congrats man, this is so awesome!”

“Yeah I know, I mean…who would have guessed that I would be the first to have kids, and TWINS at that! It’s really amazing.”

“Yeah it really is. Have you finished the nursery yet? Because I can come over and help you out if you need it,” Lance said.

“Thanks man, that would be great. I think the twins will really like…”

“AHEM! If you don’t want me to give birth to your children in front of 350 of your closest friends, I suggest we get a MOVE ON!” Terri yelled

“Whoops, sorry sweetie! Kinda forgot about you in all the excitement,” Chris blushed and dropped a kiss on her cheek.

Terri narrowed her eyes. “I am not going to go there…lets just go.”

Chris and Terri left in one limo while Lance rounded up the rest of the gang who were going to follow as soon as they could.

“Hey man, what’s going on?” JC asked as he bumped into Lance.

“Well, it looks like today will have special meaning to two couples in our little circle.”

“Huh?” JC said, a bit confused.

“Terri’s in labor. Chris just took her to the hospital.”

Josh’s jaw dropped. “No way! That’s awesome!”

“Yeah definitely,” Lance said. “So I am getting everyone together and we are gonna head over there. Sorry to cut out on you like this, but…” he said, suddenly feeling bad. This day was planned as JC and Nicole’s.

“No man, its cool. In fact, as soon as we can, Nic and I will meet you over there.”

Lance’s eyes widened and then he smiled. “You are the most stand-up guy I know Josh.”

“Hey, I wouldn’t miss my little nieces or nephews being born for the world. Plus, the only people that we really want to celebrate with will be at that hospital. Let me go find Nicole.”

Lance patted him on the back and then set off to find Symone and Justin. When they weren’t anywhere in the building, he knew exactly where to look. Sure enough, they were behind the banquet hall playing basketball. Symone made an easy lay-up and flashed a smile at her boyfriend.

“Schooled you again boy. Where’s my prize?”

Justin pulled her against him and kissed her passionately, his fingers making soft trails along her hairline.

“Hey Justin!” Lance yelled.

Justin’s head snapped up. “You have horrible timing Lance.”

“Hey, don’t blame me, blame Terri. You ready to be an uncle?”

A few hours later, the entire group was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, anxiously awaiting some news.

“I wish I thought to bring a change of clothes,” said Nicole. “People keep looking at me funny when they walk by.”

“They are only staring at you because you are the most beautiful woman they have ever seen,” said JC.

“Aww baby you’re so good to me. Come here...” she attempted to pull her husband in for a kiss, but Joey pulled his collar in the opposite direction.

“No hanky panky here you two! That’s the reason we have been sitting here for the last four hours in the first place!” he said with a laugh.

“But…” JC was about to protest but Chris came barreling down the hallway.

“We’ve got twins!” he exclaimed.

A cheer went up amongst the crowd. “What are they?” Justin asked.

Chris had a blank look on his face. “Babies, duh!” Everyone laughed. “No, I’m kidding. A boy and a girl, the best of both worlds. Come on you guys, come meet the new editions.”

Lance clapped Chris on the back. “It’s good to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor, Pops!” “Watch it boy!” Chris said with a paternal tone.

“Ahhh! That’s SCARY! Chris is JC!”

The whole motley crew reached the door to the room Terri and the babies were transferred to. They quieted down before they walked inside. Terri lay on the bed, her face positively glowing as she looked at the two sleeping bundles in her arms. “Hey guys…meet the twins.”

Chris picked up the child wrapped in pink. “Should we tell them their names?”

“Well, unless we are calling them ‘the twins’ for the rest of their lives, names would be a good thing,” said Symone.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” Chris chuckled. “This precious little girl is Carolina Eyre, and the handsome young man that Terri’s holding is Thomas Justin.”

Justin’s eyes got wide. “Ju-Justin?”

Terri smiled at the young man. “We figured, without you, we wouldn’t have children in the first place. This is our thank you. Do you want to hold him?”

Justin nodded and picked the baby up. “Hey Thomas. I’m your Uncle Justin.” He continued to baby talk to the sleeping infant.

Symone smiled at the display. “Where’d you think of the names? They are great.”

“Thomas means 'twin'. It was too perfect a name for us not to pass up,” Terri explained. “Jane Eyre is my favorite book, so that’s where we got Carolina’s middle name.”

Chris smiled. “And, well, Carolina means ‘little song’, which just seemed fitting for my daughter. Also, it was to help us remember the time we spent in South Carolina this summer. It was one of the greatest times in all of our lives.”

Joey hugged Anna to his chest and smiled. “I would have to agree.”

“Me too,” rang out from the rest of the room. Every obstacle that had jumped in their way at Grandma’s Valley was overcome and they all stood changed people because of it. Thomas began to cry and Carolina took her brother’s lead.

“I didn’t do it!” Justin said, handing the boy back to his mother.

Terri smiled. “I know Kid, I think they are just tired. They have had a long day.”

JC spoke up. “Why don’t we sing them a song?”

“Great idea Jace.”

The guys got in a huddle and settled on a song.

If I had castles built on high

I find a million ways to write your name against the sky

Just to let you know you've caught my eye

If I had more than wealth could buy

I 'd sell it all and start again for just a chance with you

If I could turn the day to night

If I had faith to walk on water maybe you would see

The reason I thank God for miracles

Cause baby when you walked into sight

You turned an ordinary man like me into a king

I would do anything to win your love **

In love and contented in their friendships, the group was finally in the most beautiful and idyllic place they have ever encountered, their Xanadu.
