It's another day, Sarah and Riley are out in the snow, (so early and in this cold?) Well, Sarah is supposed to try to convince Riley to move to another dorm. Yeah, good luck with that Sarah!

Sarah wants them to go talk inside but Riley is in a hurry and impatient to know what Sarah is up to, so they just scoot around a bit.

Sarah takes a deep breath and prepares to fulfill her arduous mission.

Neither she nor Riley know that Dale and Kelly are watching them from inside. They don't think they can hear everything they say, but at least they will be able to observe them and try to catch something.

Riley: Sarah, hurry up, I don't have your time...

 

Sean and Ashley's Wedding

Ashley Alto and Sean Vidal's was the first of the two weddings that were celebrated in Island Paradise that winter.

Everybody in the island attended the ceremony, which was carried out at the Spa's gardens. Among the guests was, of course, Daniel, who look happy at all.

Ashley's mother, Lopita, on the other hand, looked ecstatic. Her daughter had finally got married, what a joy!

Ashley and Sean pronnounced their vows of love and fidelity.

They exchanged rings.

And in the end they sealed their promises with a tender kiss.

Now they're united for life.

What was Sean thinking, or should we say, Time who was he thinking of?

Time to cut the wedding cake, among the guests were as well Ashley's best friends: Jessica, Sarah and Romina.

Ashley is so excited, Daniel preferred to walk away for a while.

Sean cut out the first piece.

As Daniel wasn't very talkative, Gloria decided to settle an unfinished business.

  

That "business" was called Sarah Parks. Gloria went to ask her if it was true that she had Daniel's daughter. Sarah told her she had nothing to worry about.

"Daniel and I have an agreement, mi daughter won't be a nuisance for you".

"I surely hope so", Gloria replied. 

Jessica and Ashley stepped aside, hoping there wouldn't be any trouble. Thankfully, it all remained a friendly conversation.

 

Meanwhile, Daniel approached Sean to congratulate him.

"I wish you and Ashley all the happiness. Take good care of her, please".

"You don't need to ask me that".

"Promise me you'll be happy".

"We'll try".

That was goodbye for them, it starts a new stage in Sean and Daniel's lives... without each other.

Romina, Ashley and Sarah Graduate too

Affer Jessica's graduation there was a small celebration with family and friends. As the evening fell, she, Romina and Ashley returned to Island Paradise. 

Only Harold and Troy stayed in the dorm, waiting for Romina to return.

Troy, disappointed, drinking and without saying a word.

He had no idea who this Royce Allani was, or why Jessica hadn't picked him, what he did know was that he wouldn't sit there with his arms crossed. He'd take some time to finish his Physical Education career and they he'd go to Island Paradise to look for her.

The next trimester, very early in the morning, Romina and Ashley returned, this time accompanied by Sarah.

The three of them would live in the same apartment. Harold would live with them; Troy knew that the three girls were on Royce's side and that created an awkward atmosphere, so he moved back to his previous dorm.

One trimester later, the long awaited graduation day arrived. Romina got her Physical Education degree.

Sarah got a Technology one.

And Ashley one in Business.

It was a rather lonely graduation, since most of their friends had graduated previously.

The only ones who attended were Romina's grandpartens, Robert and Camilla, with whom Harold hurried to introduce himself. It was good to start by getting to know his future family, since he and Romina had gotten engaged and planned to move in together when they arrived to Island Paradise. That would be of course after his own graduation.

For Romina, everything was a celebration that day: her graduation, her engagement with Harold, and the presence of her beloved family.

For Ashley it was a sad ocassion, since not even Sean had been able to attend, and Skip had gon on a vacation with his parents.

She and Romina returned immediately to Island Paradise, Sarah left shortly after. Harold would meet Romina at the end of the next trimester. Ashley had no idea what would happen with her and Sean.

A cycle had been completed for Romina, Ashley, Sarah and Jessica. What did the future hold for them in Island Paradise? Only time would tell.

Jessica Says Goodbye to Troy

When Jessica returned to the University, she didn't dare to tell Troy anything at first, but she knew she'd had to do it at some point before her graduation day.

And that day arrived. Troy of course was the first to get there.

Romina's new boyfriend, Harold Assange, attended too.

And Ashley's best friend Skip Taylor too.

Skip had asked Ashley to be his girlfriend, but she say she couldn't accept cause she was still expecting Sean to propose marriage to her. Skip was disappointed, but didn't lose hope that she'd change her mind someday.

Sarah attended the graduation too, along with her little daughter, Savannah. She was still Jessica and Romina's roommate in Island Paradise.

Jessica didn't wait and talked to Troy before the ceremony. The truth, it wasn't a suprise for him. Since the moment Jessica had told him that she had a boyfriend in Island Paradise, she knew something like this could happen.

He of course didn't want to break up with her, but what else could he do? Jessica said she loved Royce, and there was nothing he could do about it, except, perhaps, wait for her to change her mind.

Unable to hide his sadness he accepted the decision and said goodbye to Jessica, with the remote hope that, in time, she would think better of it and return to his side.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Jessi. Good luck and don't forget I love you".

"Thanks, Troy, I love you too, and come what may, I'll never forget you", she answered with tears in her eyes.

And that was it. While her other guests enthusiastically prepared to 

go in for the ceremony, Troy left, not without first telling Jessica that,he'll be waiting for her if she ever changed her mind, 

Jessica Leaves for the University

Jessica accompanied Romina to her High School graduation, and now the moment has come for the two friends to leave for the University.

But they're not going alone, with them are Daniel's friend Ashley Alto and Sarah Parks, (both Daniel's ex girlfriends) who had recently moved in with Jessica.

Remember Ashley and Sarah had to leave their respective university careers pending, cause they both had babies. Now they are moms, but they won't give up their university degrees. Ashley is going this trimester, Sarah will join them in the next.

 

Jessica, Romina and Ashley, about to get in the boat that will take them to the bus station. From there, they'll leave for the University.

Arriving at the campus, the three of them moved into the same house Daniel lived in before. Ashley was the first to go in and... Ah, the memories!

Romina is excited thinking of all the new people she'll meet. Jessica, in contrast, is feeling sad. She's just arriving and she already misses Royce.

But anyway, she's here. It's time to study and get that Science degree.

"Wait for me Royce, I'll be back soon".
