Epilogue
One year later...
"A double wedding. This is crazy. Those girls don't do anything without each other."
Ace chuckled. "Well, there is one thing they do without each other. "
Becket rolled his eyes, adjusting the matching bow tie on his little dog, Waldo. "Thank goodness. I don't want to see your hairy ass anywhere near my star shine."
Ace shoved him playfully. "What's wrong, Beck? Not into a little group action?"
"You're a sick man. Keep your dirty freak ways to yourself."
"It's cool. No other man will ever touch my Claire. I love that girl more than life itself. I think I would die if she ever left me."
"Who would have thought a year ago we would be finding the love of our lives and they would be as close of friends as we are."
"We are pretty lucky."
Kevin walked in adjusting his bowtie. "Are you two idiots ready to get hitched?"
"Ready as we'll ever be." Ace pranced out of the room like he was walking on air.
"Kev?" Becket stopped him.
"Yeah, Beck?"
"Do you remember what she said the day we met her?"
Kevin patted his shoulder, ushering him to the door. "Yep, and she was right."
"She sure was." Becket smiled with pride.

Meanwhile, Nova and Claire were getting ready in the bridal sweet with their bridesmaids.
Claire turned to Nova taking her hands in hers. "We're really doing this. Marrying our dream guys."
Nova nodded. "I can't believe it. I remember the first day we met..."
~Flashback~
Eric stood before some of his top wrestlers, Ace, Kevin, and Becket Knox. The trio that made his work a living hell. As much as he loved them like sons, they drove him crazy with their antics.
"Fella's, I want to introduce you to my daughter, Nova."
Ace gave a wave with his head. "What's up kid?"
"I'm not a kid. I'm going to be sixteen in two weeks." Nova, grumbled, straightening her black AC/DC t-shirt and jeans while popping her gum.
Becket smiled at the angsty teen girl who was a fraction of their size. "Hi. I'm Beck."
"I know who you are, hot stuff."
Beckets' eyes grew wide with embarrassment and looked back at Eric with a blush of his cheeks. "Umm? How old is she again?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you morons about. Nova thinks she's grown. Stay away from my daughter. She's still in high school. Don't look at her. Don't talk to her. Don't even so much as bump against her in a crowded room. Got it! You three hot shots keep your hands to yourself."
"Relax, Daddy. I'm just here to be in the ring. I'm just joking around with pretty boy here."
Kevin smiled at her. "You're a little small for the ring, short stuff. You could get hurt in there."
"You're a little too old to be wearing the onesie you got on. Where did you get your ring gear? I didn't know they had a big and tall section at Babies' R' Us."
The group chuckled at her quick wit.
Kevin laughed. "I like this chic. She's feisty."
"Nova, show some respect," Eric grumbled.
"Yes, sir," Nova cringed at her father scolding her in front of her wrestling heroes.
Becket looked at the guitar she was carrying impressed with her taste. "You play that thing? A Les Paul. Nice."
"Yep. An original. I'm going to become the first woman rockstar wrestler in history. And then, I'm going to marry my hero."
Becket with a little smug smirk chuckled. "Oh ya? Who's that?"
"Becket Knox," she said with a playfully giggle.
Eric groaned, grabbing his daughter's hand, pulling her away. "Not in my lifetime."
Nova looked over her shoulder as her father pulled her down the hall. She smiled at Becket with a little wave, and he nodded back with a grin.
~End Flashback~
In front of their friends and family at a double wedding with their best friends, the couple looked into each other's eyes. They thought about that first meeting and the words she said.
She knew; then, now, and forever.
"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Becket Knox..."
