Author Note: This is it guys! The final story in the 'Next Generation' series! Yay!

Until I get further along in the story, the chapter's will be in the point of view of just one character. The characters name will be in the chapter title. But, once I get the main plot(s) established, the chapter's will be longer and include the points of view of all three characters. Thanks! Oh, and right now the three plots aren't linked, they are just separate, but about 1/4 of the way into the story, everything comes together.

It sounds confusing, but it's not really. You'll see. Now... ENJOY! XD

Finally, after all these years I have gotten rid of that awful name…Koboi. Just hearing it makes my blood boil with rage. My mother…Opal Koboi…despicable…words can't even describe how I feel about her…and my father…Mervall Brill…I don't know what to think about him. Just…why her? And why did they abandon me? How could they? I don't understand…my whole life has been nothing but filled with questions and no one to answer them. I've never had a family…but, no matter. I no longer have to worry about that anymore. I am a Kelp now. I have a family now.

It's wonderful. Unbelievable. Cameron and I have been married for a year now and I couldn't be happier. Commander Short has finally accepted me, though we do have our disagreements at times…Nothing could be better.

Well, unfortunately things aren't exactly perfect. Recently Cameron has been trying to convince me to go and talk to my mother. I don't want to, but he's not going to give up anytime soon. Seriously, doesn't he understand that I haven't seen or spoken to her since I was a young child! She dropped me off at an orphanage! How can he expect me to just go to Atlantis and be all like, 'Hey mom. How have you been for the last seventy-five years?' Yeah, I don't think I could stand to be in the same room with her.

Anyways, I may have to give in soon. Just to get it over with. Just this once and I won't have to see her again…

Well…we'll just have to see how things work out, 'cause if I'm right, Cameron and I will have a lot to deal with these next few months. Mom will just have to wait.

I'm stuck. I have no idea what I should do. My best friend, whom everyone believes to have been missing for the past year, has actually been living with me in my apartment and secretly taking classes at the Academy under a different name.

That's right. My best friend. Sabrina Short, or Cori as I call her, has been hiding here. Right under everybody's noses. She has changed her total appearance too. Her once long, auburn hair is now cut up to her chin and is dyed raven black. And her beautiful hazel eyes are hidden with ice blue contacts. Appropriate considering the fact that her father is Artemis Fowl the Second. She's completely unrecognizable.

To make the disguise complete, she has formed an alias. It's really simple actually. If you knew what you were looking for, you would notice that it's completely obvious…Katrina Lori L'wof. I mean come on. The first two names rhyme and the last name is just Fowl spelt backwards. But, so far it has worked…so...yeah…

I not sure what I should do. Should I go to the commander? Or should I let Cori make that decision herself? I just don't know. But…there is one thing I do know.

For years Cori has been my best friend. We've known each other since we were young children. But for the past few years, I've felt a little different…and I'm going to tell her. It won't matter if she doesn't feel that way about me, but at least she'll know the truth.

Well, other than that my life has been pretty normal. My parents, Chix Verbil and Lily Frond, are great. I've actually had a pretty good childhood. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I'm just your everyday sprite/elf hybrid.

Hopefully things will become clearer soon. I may just have to force her to reveal herself to her mother. Everything will be just fine….

The time has come. I've known for years now that this day would come, but I never imagined that it would come so soon. I have to face the truth now….I'm dying…

Yes, yes, it's shocking, I know. But it's true. A couple of years ago I started having these weird headaches. So, I did the normal thing. I went to the doctor, thinking that it was probably nothing major. ….Was I wrong or what…

Apparently I have some sort of brain tumor. Of course, being a centaur, I have no magic, but why couldn't I be healed and live my life without any problems?

Well…two reasons.

One, apparently I've had it since I was a young child and it had gone undetected for so long.

And two…some things are just beyond healing…

So, I've taken medicines, only prolonging the inevitable…The headaches never went away…always getting worse….and now…

There's just one thing. Why me? I don't understand. I've had a normal, almost perfect life. Two loving parents, the centaurs Foaly and Caballine, and being an only child I've always had everything I wanted. I have always believed that nothing would ever go wrong.

Oh, and there's one more thing…Mom and Dad don't know. I've never told them. I don't know how to. Now, after five years, I can no longer avoid it. I have to tell them…but…I can't…they'll be devastated…I…I just can't do that to them….But, I know I have to. I will…I'm just going to wait a little bit…I know I don't have a long time, but its just not the right time…what am I going to do?!

So...Like it? Interested? I can tell you one thing... this is going to be an epic conclusion. Well, at least I think so. ;D ~TL16~
