[b]EPILOGUE[/b]
"It really is nice like this..." The Warlock remarked, looking at the night sky, adorned by twinkling stars, through the destroyed wall of their base.
"Yeah..." The Hunter agreed with a nod.
"Yup." The Titan also nodded, sitting in between the two.
It was just the three of them now.
"Guys... I'm sorry I got the wrong fireworks." The Titan muttered, fiddling with his fingers.
"Don't worry about it big guy..." The Hunter said as he pat the Titan's head. "Dynamite [i]is[/i] fireworks... I guess... In a way..."
"Do not give it another thought, Titan." The Warlock chimed in, nodding once. "All is forgiven. Though we [i]will[/i] have to fix this damage soon."
"Yeah... We." The Titan repeated the word with especial fondness. "'We'..."
"Yeah, [i]we[/i] dude. Didn't ya hear 'Lock the first time?" The Hunter gave the Titan a weird look.
"No, no... It's just... I was just thinking..." The Titan said.
"Wow, [i]you[/i] thinkin-- 'Ey!" The Hunter was cut off as the Warlock chucked a piece of rubble at the him before he could say anything further insulting than he had during the party. "Ugggghhhh... Continue, big guy." The Titan nodded.
"Well, I was just thinking about how you guys are my best friends, you know...?" He explained, looking up at the beautiful night sky, the moon seemed to shine brighter than ever. "And I don't think I could ever live being without my best friends... Mff--" He started to fiddle with his fingers. "I'm sorry if that was stup--"
"It wasn't stupid, big guy." The Hunter cut him off, scratching the back of his neck. The Titan and Warlock turned to look at the Hunter. "Ugh... Hm... I... [i]guess[/i] I like you guys too. You know... More than anybody else." He admitted, sighing. "You guys are my best friends too..."
The Warlock nodded. "Yes, you two are certainly my most favorable companions. Though, I don't say much to profess it." She confessed, looking down at her hands with shyness. "Please forgive me for my error in that."
"There's nothin' to forgive, 'Lo--." The Hunter was about to say, before the Titan excitedly cut him off.
"Oh guys, look!" The Titan pointed out to a cluster of stars.
Three stars, closely knit together.
"It's like they're friends!" The Titan exclaimed.
"Kind of like us." The Hunter agreed, nodding. "Those are our stars, I'm guessin'."
"That truly is something amazing." The Warlock sighed in awe. It was almost as if those stars. Those, three stars...
"Somethin' on your mind, 'Lock?" The Hunter asked her, interrupting her current thought. The Warlock looked at him, and shook her head gently.
"Mm, no. It's nothing."
"Oh guys!" The Titan giggled, scooping his teammates into his strong arms for a hug. "I love you guys so much! I hope we're friends forever!"
"Hehe, h-hey big guy, don't-- Don't get all sappy on us. I don't want to [i]ooze[/i] sugar, you know." The Hunter chuckled, trying to ignore the Titan's quite crushing hug. "We-- We'll be friends, but you're k-kinda chokin' us."
The Warlock nodded in agreement briskly.
"Yes, yes, fr-friends forever we shall be. N-now [i]please[/i], release us!" She sputtered out and, obediently, the Titan released the two, the two of them taking in deep breaths as they were welcomed with fresh air entering back into their lungs.
"Oh my [i]ribs[/i]!" The Hunter groaned. The Warlock muttered a complaint of her own under her breath, rubbing her own sides.
"N-now," the Warlock began, recollecting herself. "We must decide who must clean up the living quarters."
"How're we gonna decide [i]that[/i]?" The Hunter asked her. "The living quarters is a friggin' [i]mess[/i]!"
"I know how we'll decide!" The Titan chimed in, holding out a fist. By then, the Hunter and Warlock already knew what he was suggesting.
"Very well."
"You're on!"

"Jan. Ken. [i]Pon![/i]" The three of them said in unison as they drew their hands.
"It's a three-way..." The Warlock announced. Her hand mimicked paper, the Hunter's; scissors, and the Titan's; rock.
"We always get three-ways!" The Hunter complained.
"Okay, okay, one more time guys!" The Titan said. "This one's the one, I can feel it!"
The team once again to play the game with seemingly never-ending, predictable results, under the starry night sky.
"Jan. Ken. [i]Pon![/i]" The three of them said again as they drew their hands.
...
"Another three-way."
"Oh [i]come on[/i]!"
As they continued to play, the three stars twinkled on, brighter than the rest.
[b]The End[/b]
