*~The Dream Of A Lifetime~*

Ariel and Jonathan sat by a lake in Orlando and waited for the others to return back home. They went back a few days earlier so Ariel could spend sometime with her family. She hadn’t seen them for a few months and she missed them so much and she wanted to share the good news of her engagement with them. What she didn’t expect was to run into Farah since she still lived in Clearwater and Ariel was now in Orlando.

“Are you happy to be home again?” Jonathan asked, as they watched the sun set. “I know it’s not completely home, but…”

“Yeah,” Ariel said. “I’m glad I got to see my family again. Not that I didn’t enjoy my time with you, because I did. Hey, I got engaged.”

“I was thinking,” Jonathan said.

“About what?” Ariel asked.

“About after we get married.” She looked at him. “I know how much you care about your family and your happiness means a lot to me. So I was thinking after the wedding is done and over with, we move here to Orlando or even Clearwater that way you’re closer.”

“Seriously? You want to move to Florida?”

“I wouldn’t be saying it if I didn’t mean it.”

“Wow, this means so much to me.” She hugged him. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He returned the hug and then kissed her.

“Hey, since we’re moving here, why don’t we have the wedding in Los Angeles then?”

“If ya want that, anything for you.” A shadow fell over them.

“Well, well, well, look who it is.”

“Farah, hey,” Ariel said getting up and the two girls hugged. “You do remember Jon right?”

“Yeah,” Farah said. “It’s good to see you again.”

“You too,” Jonathan said.

“Did you see the others in Los Angeles?” Farah asked.

“Uh-huh,” Ariel said. “They told me what happened in Vegas. How do you feel about yourself?”

“In a way stupid,” Farah replied. “But what I did was for the best. I really shouldn’t have caused problems between Loni and Nick though. It was stupid of me to do that.”

“Don’t worry too much, because they’re back together and happy as ever,” Ariel stated.

“That’s good,” Farah said sitting down. “How mad are they at me?”

“I don’t know,” Ariel said. “They didn’t say anything when we saw them and they really didn’t talk about it.”

“Oh,” Farah said.

“Loni D was still pretty upset about it though,” Ariel replied. “I think it hurt her a lot that someone she considered one of her best friends would do that to her.”

“Yeah it was pretty stupid of me,” Farah stated. “But it’s in the past now. No point in dwelling over it.”

“If ya say so,” Ariel said. “I don’t think they’ll forget about it as easily as you.”

“Right,” Farah said sighing and getting up. “I’m going to go though. I’ll see ya guys later I hope.”

“We should see each other,” Ariel said then Farah walked away.

“The situation must not bother her any,” Jonathan said.

“Well she’s the one who started the whole thing,” Ariel pointed out. “She’s the one that caused problems between them so why should it bother her any?” He looked at her and nodded. “But enough about her let’s talk about us.”

“Ooh, what do you have in mind?” Jonathan asked, as Ariel wrapped her arms around him and then kissed him. “Now I see what you have in mind. The same thing that’s on mine.” She smiled and they kissed.
