Chapter 17
The Olympians had gathered with the Norse Gods in Asgard, to witness the joyous events about to take place. Meg and Zebra found themselves in the ladies quarters, preparing both physically and mentally, for the next step in their lives. Meg looked back on her life and wondered how this came to be. She had, never in her whole life, dreamed this was possible. In truth, she had never put much thought into the future. The future was always so unclear to her, so unattainable. She glanced at Zebra and saw that she was struggling with her veil. She was so nervous that she couldn't get it to stay in place. She looked pleadingly toward Meg, "Can I ask for you help?" Meg smirked, "Ya, sure." She went to Zebra's side and helped her adjust her veil, being careful not to smash the Lillies that were intertwined in her hair. (Even though they would probably wilt with the first exposure to the frost) "Meg?" "Hmm?" She responded. "Did you ever think we would end up here? I mean........in this moment?" Meg scoffed. "Are you kidding? This is the last thing I imagined myself doing. You, on the other hand......I hoped you wouldn't." Zebra turned around to face her. "Why?" Meg felt a little selfish. "Well, I figured, if you got married......then.......where would that leave me? Though I may seem to wallow in it, I was afraid I'd be left alone." Zebra latched onto Meg and held her tight. "You wouldn't have had any cause to worry", she was almost in tears. "Even now, you and I will always be close, no matter who we meet or what we may encounter if life." Meg hugged her back. "You've always been like a sister to me", Zebra continued. "Always protecting me and looking out for me, and nothing or nobody will ever break that bond." Meg felt a tear glide down her cheek. She wiped it away quickly so Zebra wouldn't see. They pulled back. "Are you ready?" Asked Meg, since Zebra would go first. Zebra took a deep breath and straightened out her shoulders. "Yes, I'm ready...........I think." Meg chuckled and slapped her on the back. She would never admit, but Meg was just as nervous as Zebra. They exited the room and awaited the signal that would start the ceremony.
To be continued......(I finally finished it! It's sad to see it end though. I'll keep posting till the end)

In the men's quarters, Herc and Helios had finished dressing. They're golden robes reflecting the fire-light of the flames that cracked in the hearth. Herc was pacing wildly across the room while Helios drummed his fingers on a small table where he rested his left arm. "Herc, would you sit still?! You're driving me to the brink of insanity!" Herc came to a stop in front of him. "Easy for you to say, you're not a nervous wreck." He ran a hand through his hair, trying to relieve some tension. "Believe me", said Helios standing up. "I'm just as anxious as you are, if not more." He indicated his hands which were shaking like mad. Herc chuckled and grasped his shoulders with the affection of a brother. "We've come a long way my friend." Helios smiled and slapped his arm playfully. "And we're not stopping here." A loud horn bellowed from outside, signaling for the men to take their places. Herc and Helios exchanged a nervous glance, then nodded to each other for encouragement, and stepped outside. (Does anybody still read this thing? Or am I just talking to the keyboard?)

Chapter 18
Freya, the Norse Goddess of love, would preside over Zebra and Helios' sealing. A long, red carpet marked the path where the bride would tread and join with her soon-to-be husband. Helios stood next to Freya, awaiting his bride. He rocked on his heals, trying to keep himself from shaking. He thought he was doing pretty well......until the Valkyries led Zebra out. Her gown was white, of course, with a silver trim. Her raven hair cascaded down her spine. She also wore a soft, fur shawl. Helios couldn't help but be slack-jawed, which made Zebra blush beneath her veil. She joined Helios and took his arm. They faced Freya and she began. "The bond of marriage is as sacred as the deep love that is shared between you." She presented a golden goblet, filled with a sweet nectar. She directed them to sip the contents. "This is so that the only thirst you desire, in life, is each other." She presented their rings and they exchanged them. Freya took their hands and joined them together. "Seal this everlasting bond with a kiss." Helios lifted Zebra's veil and kissed her, long and deep. A sudden vibration echoed off the mountain peaks. The couple's kiss ended abruptly as the gathering paused and surveyed the surroundings. Zebra felt a bead of moisture drop upon her cheek. She touched the spot where it landed and examined her now wet fingers. Looking up, to find the origin of the droplet, she noticed how damp the trees appeared. The ice and snow was melting! Not at a dramatic rate, but the phenomenon was clear. A few blades of grass emerged from their icy grave. Was this the end of the cursed winter? The process came to a sudden halt. There were still drifts of snow and ice, but there was a definite change in the air. Odin furrowed his brow, "Is this what Mimir was talking about? He had said; 'The only way to seal the alliance was through marriage.' Marriage brought new hope and life. Maybe......though this such alliance, new hope and light would be possible for the snowy wasteland that was, Asgard. He signaled Freya to continue on with what she started. Freya presented the newly married couple to the congregation. "Go in peace." The cheering was almost deafening in celebration, but none-the-less, welcomed. Helios took his new bride aside so that they could witness the following wedding of their two best friends. (End of chapter 18)

Chapter 18 Hercules took his place next to Aphrodite, who would conduct the second ceremony. Herc wore his sword in its sheath. It rattled as his knees knocked together helplessly. His nervousness and excitement weren't so easy to hide. Meg waited inside for her cue. She couldn't believe how anxious she was, she tried to dry her clammy hands by wiping them on her gown, but the moisture would only return moments later. The cue was called out. 'This is it', she muttered as she stole a couple of deep breaths. When she emerged, Herc gulped. Timber carried her train behind her. Meg's gown, of course, was white. It was actually designed by Aphrodite. The golden trimmed border was embellished with Greek keys. A soft lilac shawl hung over her left shoulder and followed down with her dress. Her auburn ringlets curled under her chin beneath the veil. Encouraged by her smile, Herc took her outstretched hand and brought her forward. Timber then joined with Pegasus on the sidelines. Aphrodite winked at Meg and she returned the gesture by grinning back. The procedure was quite similar to the one before it. They each drank the honeyed nectar and exchanged rings. "I ask you to now seal this eternal bond with a sacred kiss", Aphrodite concluded. Meg nodded at Herc and he shakily revealed Meg's bright face. He brought his lips down and took her in. As they continued to do so, a chorus of gasps swept through all whom were present. The earth trembled once again. An odd sound that can only be described as something breaking, it was as if a powerful force were being dispelled. Startled by the sudden change in mood around them, Meg and Herc took in their surroundings. There was.......color, vegetation. The icy spell that had hung over Asgard for almost two decades, was at last coming to an end. Meg's eyes were filled with a recollection. She'd seen this sight before; the colorful wildflowers, the rolling hills, and the rich mountains that took up most of the land. The sun was high in the sky, shining it's radiant beams. White, puffy clouds dotted the heavens with no threat of an approaching storm. 'Yes', Meg remembered. It was just like the vision of where she'd seen her parents. "It has come", Odin whispered as he embraced his wife. "It has finally come!" Everyone cried tears of joy and relief. Even the Olympians, who had not experienced their tribulations, knew that they were witnessing something special. The cheers rang out. Thor raised his fists to the sky and cried with the rest. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a Goddess with leaves and feathers tangled in her hair. "Hi", he said shyly. "Hi yourself", she smiled. That evening, the night was filled with festivities. The glow of a Bonn fire encircled it's occupants in a warm ring. It was quite the party. Hercules and Helios held their new brides as they danced and sang to the music of flutes, pipes, and other various instruments. Thor danced with the wild Goddess, who had introduced herself as Artemis, Goddess of the hunt. They seemed to be hitting it off rather well. And.......well.....that's another story entirely. Meg had her turn to dance with Zeus and Odin while Herc danced with his mother, Hera. He even stole a dance with his adopted mother, Alcmene. Her and Amphitrion were brought there to watch their only son tie the knot. Meg could sense another couple in their midst, she took that as a sign of their approval. No day, or night, could compare to that one. But Meg and Zebra knew there would be many more wondrous days to come. (One more chapter to go. Can you stand the anticipation?"

OK, this is it. The finale.
Epilogue:
The couples would switch off, living on Olympus and Asgard. After all, they all had their own duties and responsibilities to attend to. They made it a point to live near each other. They would get together frequently and discuss old times. One Spring afternoon, Meg wandered outside and leaned against a tree that grew mistletoe. It still overwhelmed her, how much her life had changed in the past little while. But, she had absolutely no regrets of the events that she'd taken place in. She watched as Pegasus and Timber played in the open meadow. Their powerful hooves would rustle the grass as they galloped over the plains. Meg's train of thought was interrupted by Herc, who came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He bent around and kissed her cheek. "So, what do you think so far?" Meg spun around in his arms and encircled her hands around his neck. "About what?" She smirked. "Married life, or the warm change in the air?" "Both", Herc grinned. "Hmm.....all that comes to mind is......simply blissful." With that, Herc drew her in and kissed her. "Meg. Herc, come on!" Zebra called. "Your lunch is getting stale!" They knew better than to upset Zebra. They raced each other down the hill (Meg winning, of course) and joined their friends. As Meg sat down, she felt so fortunate for what she had; Family, a job she couldn't complain about, close friends, and the love of her life; her hero, Hercules. Who could ask for anything more?
END
(So, wha'ja think? Does anybody have any favorite parts and all? I have other ideas, I'll just have to put them in writing, if anybodies interested. I hope you all liked it. Thanks so much for reading!)

I LOOOOOVED it!! I loved the part where Herc and Meg first meet eachother, where they keep bumping into to eachother(like at the stables) and where Herc is trying to tell Meg that he loves her.
