Lucky had understood about her saying goodbye to Sonny,which Emily was grateful for. Moreover, she was grateful that he understood why Jason couldn't know right now... Emily was still in shock at Lucky's New Year's plans. He had met her in the park, and took her to his apartment, which he had lavishly decorated, and cooked a nice dinner. They had talked and danced, and were now about an hour before the ball would drop...

Well, here we are again.
I guess it must be fate.
We've tried it on our own,
but, deep inside we've known,
we'd be back to set things straight.

Looking into her eyes deeply, he bent down and kissed her passionately,scooping her up into his arms and carrying her to the bed...

I still remember when,
your kiss was so brand-new.
Every memory repeats,
every step I take retreats,
every journey always brings me
back to you.

Emily let herself get caught up in the passion, reflecting that she had finally gotten it right after all...

After all the stops and starts,
we keep coming back to these two hearts.
Two angels who've been rescued
from the fall.
And, after all that we've been through,
it all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
forever you and me,
after all.

Lucky scarcely believed that he was here, holding her in his arms. But, nothing had felt better or more fated in all his life. He finally realized why it always felt wrong somehow with Elizabeth, why he was always so drawn to her...

How could they have missed this all these years? All this time, when they were best friends, they were actually soulmates, two halves of a whole... Well, no use reflecting on lost time; a new age was dawning, and they were entering it encased in a passionate embrace...

Dick Clark: (from TV) 5...4...3...2...1...Happy 2000 everyone!

As ''Auld Lange Sign'' began to play on the screen, Lucky moved his head slightly, looked into her eyes, and kissed her breathlessly.

Lucky: Happy New Year, Em.

Emily: (smiling gently) Happy New Year.

After all the stops and starts,
we keep coming back to these two hearts.
Two angels who've been rescued
from the fall.
And, after all that we've been through,
it all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
forever you and me,
after all.

Suddenly, all that had happened prior to that point was of no consequence. All that mattered was that moment in time, and that there would be so many more from now on. Finally they were safe. They were... home...

Always just beyond my touch,
though I needed you so much.
After all, what else is livin' for?
Oh, after all the stops and starts,
we keep coming back to these two hearts.
Two angels who've been rescued
from the fall.
And, after all that we've been through,
it all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
forever you and me,
after all the starts and stops,
we keep coming back to these two hearts.
Two angels who've been rescued
from the fall.
And, after all that we've been through,
it all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
forever you and me,
after all...
