History Main / HookedUpAfterwards

** [[TheLibby Monique]] and [[JerkJock Justin]] are interestingly together, Monique being Sebastian's ex and Justin being Viola's ex.

** We also have the case of Tristan's father and mother in the film, where they are happily reunited at the end.

* [[spoiler: Nancy and Edward]] get married at the end of ''{{Enchanted}}''.

* ''HeyArnold'' creator Craig Bartlett said that not only would Arnold and Helga hook up if the Pataki's had been made, but Gerald and Phoebe would as well (and become the main couple, sort of).

See also SexualKarma and MaybeEverAfter, where the hook up is only implied, and PairTheSpares, where the romantic rivals of the main plot hook up with each other. May be followed up on in a DistantFinale.

* ''{{Drood}}'' has the audience vote in two characters to get together and sing a romantic duet at the end, which often leads to some pretty interesting {{Crack Pairing}}s.

A thorny use of this trope comes when Gay friends of the main couple are implied to hook up this way. It might be to [[HideYourLesbians avoid the "dilemma" of showing on-screen gay couples]] which could alienate audiences, but [[UnfortunateImplications implies]] they'll both hook up [[TokenShipping just because they're gay]].

[[folder: Anime ]]

* Minori and Ami from ''ToraDora'' probably go that route. It's only ''hinted'' though, [[HideYourLesbians what with them both being girls and all]].
* Oujirou and Tamayo in the ''AngelicLayer'' manga. In the anime, where Tamayo and Misaki switch love interests, both couples get equal amounts of time and the last-minute hookup is between [[spoiler:Icchan and Shuuko... which is also implied in the manga, but certainly causes problems when one wonders how the series relates to ''{{Chobits}}''.]]
* We have [[spoiler: Azmaria and Joshua]] at the end of ChronoCrusade, shown holding hands at [[spoiler: Rosette's funeral]].
* In DigimonAdventure02, Ken and Miyako are married with kids, as are Yamato and Sora.
* In {{Mai-HiME}}, [[spoiler:Natsuki and Shizuru]]'s relationship is left as ambiguous as humanly possible at the end of the series, fueled by the question of whether [[spoiler:Natsuki]]'s "love" was meant in a friendly or romantic way, giving fuel to thousands of shippers to resolve it in FanFic. The supplemental material released later makes things a lot clearer, with the artbook implying a hook-up after [[spoiler:Shizuru's graduation]].

[[folder: Film ]]

* The ''LordOfTheRings'' movies did this with Faramir and Eowyn (who were a canon couple in the book as well). However, since they had to cut the scenes showing them growing closer in the theatrical version, it ended up looking like a random hook up to resolve the LoveTriangle between Eowyn, Arwen and Aragorn.
* Occurs at the end of the 1998 version of ''The Parent Trap'' when, during the parent's wedding, Martin proposes to Chessy.

** Subverted in I Love You Man: The gay groomsman played by Thomas Lennon unsuccesfully hits on the protagonists gay brother while at the wedding. "Sorry. You're not my type. I only date straight guys."

* Done in a sequel: Hooper and Banky from ''ChasingAmy'' are shown to have hooked up afterwards at the end of ''JayAndSilentBob Strike Back''.
* ''SkyHigh'' did this; at the end, TroubledButCute Warren Peace is shown holding hands at the Homecoming with Freeze Girl - even though the two never actually interacted during the movie.

* In the RichieRich film, the butler Cadbury and Gloria's mother are seen kissing at the end.
* We have [[spoiler: Nancy and Edward]] marrying at the end of {{Enchanted}}.
* In Amanda Byne's Twelfth Night remake ''[=~She's the Man~=]'', both of Duke's friends are shown paired up with someone. Toby got together with nerdy Eunice and [[AmbiguouslyGay Paul]] is seen fixing Andrew's tie, much to Andrew's confusion.

* During the Spring Fling Scene at the end of ''{{Mean Girls}}'' [[spoiler: Principal Duvall and Ms. Norbury]] share a meaningful look while dancing. [[spoiler: Janis and Kevin]] also dance at the Spring Fling and are seen kissing during the very last scene where Cady explains everyone's fate.
* Animated example: ''Barbie: the Princess and the Pauper'' ends with the princess [[spoiler: marrying her particular teacher]], the pauper [[spoiler: marrying the Prince]] who was supposed to [[spoiler: marry the princess instead]]. But that's not just it, since the little cutesy Princess's pet cat end up with the pauper's stray cat who believes he's a dog. Actually, pretty much ''everyone'' in the movie fits this trope. except for [[SexualKarma the villiains]]. Hell, even the ''horse'' ends paired up!!!
* In ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' Belle's father and Mrs. Potts share a look in the final ballroom scene.
* ''ToyStory 3'' ends with Rex and Trixie, another dinosaur toy, playing video games together.
* Almost every early Adam Sandler film ends this way - he gets the main GirlOfHisDreams, while everyone else is left with the spares.

* This happens to virtually every character in ''Harry Potter''. For those not specifically referenced in the epilogue, Rowling tells who married who in interviews.
** Draco in particular smells of LastMinuteHookUp. After spending the entire series being a bully, a lout, and generally showing disdain for any kind of intimate relationships, WordOfGod suddenly has him married to Astoria Greengrass.

* In every single Gilbert and Sullivan musical, the quirky old man and the female baritone hook up at the end, whether they had some romantic interactions before that, were never onscreen together, or utterly reviled one another in ever scene before the last. This is seldom given any dialogue.

* The musical version of ''TheTwoGentlemenOfVerona'' pulled this with Thurio and Lucetta, who had no prior interaction in either the musical or the original play.
* ''{{Drood}}'' has the audience vote in two characters to get together and sing a romantic duet at the end, which often leads to some pretty interesting [[CrackPairing crack pairings.]]

* At the end of VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG, Booster and Valentina get married.
** [[GuideDangIt Though you'll never see it unless you're told about it]], you can actually see Booster propose to Valentina before the ending if, [[EventFlag after defeating her]], you go all the way back up to the top of Booster's Tower and look at the balcony. As it doesn't get you anything and is easily missed, it's probably there because TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything.

* At the end of ''AGoofyMovie'', Max's Pauly Shore-voiced friend Bobby has such a hook-up with Roxanne's valley-girl best friend Stacey, when they both reach for Bobby's can of cheez whiz that he dropped. Bobby lifts his dark sunglasses and smiles at her, and Stacey gives him a brace-filled smile back. It's a cute/quirky moment, but there is absolutely no lead-up to it whatsoever.
** Not that anything came of either relationship in the sequel.

* At the end of SuperMarioRPG, Booster and Valentina get married.

* {{Drood}} has the audience vote in two characters to get together and sing a romantic duet at the end, which often leads to some pretty interesting [[CrackPairing crack pairings.]]

The RomanticComedy is ending, and the [[OfficialCouple Alpha Couple]] has finally hooked up. But what's this? It seems there's a BetaCouple in the wings! During the [[{{Denouement}} closing musical number/reception dance]] two characters who [[PairTheSpares may or may not have interacted prior to this point]] are getting down and dirty, or even just looking at each suggestively as to imply they'll start dating.

See also SexualKarma and MaybeEverAfter, where the hook up is only implied. May be followed up on in a DistantFinale.

** Even though the Faramir/Eowyn thing took up a lot more pages than Arwen/Aragorn in the book...

[[AC: {{Anime}}]]

[[AC: {{Film}}]]
* ''Bring It On'' has this when the gay cheerleader of the team talks to another male cheerleader of another team.
* At the end of ''Down With Love'' the Beta Couple is on the phone getting together with a hilarious synchronized chorus.
* The end of ''Four Weddings and a Funeral'' is a rather specific example of this - EVERYONE, or at least practically everyone with a speaking part, is shown to be hooked up with someone at the end.

* {{Sky High}} did this; at the end, TroubledButCute Warren Peace is shown holding hands at the Homecoming with Freeze Girl - even though the two never actually interacted during the movie.

** And also, Viola's parents, having been divorced, are sitting together at the end and most likely mending their relationship.

** To ThisTroper, it came more as Hooked Up ''Before''.

* TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest ends with the expected marriage proposals for the alpha and beta couples... and then suddenly {{Asspull}}s a gamma couple in the last 15 seconds of the play.

See also SexualKarma. May be followed up on in a DistantFinale.

** As one of the many, ''many'' things in this game that you'll [[GuideDangIt miss completely unless you're told about it]], you can actually see Booster propose to Valentina if, [[EventFlag after defeating her]], you go all the way back up to the top of Booster's Tower and look at the balcony.
