Author Note -Well this isn't really the end, but this is the final story in this series. Sort of like how Spongebob the movie went any stories that come after this will have happened prior to this story. However, unlike spongebob I'm hoping my writing doesn't suffer as much in the later stories. Basically though I really wanted to give this series a proper conclusion before doing anything else as i still have a lot of ideas.
Also the title song. "super driver" isn't mine. It's copyright Aya Hirano and the Haruhi Suzumiya anime. Just thought I'd put that there. It's been my inspiration in regards to how I've written Stacy particularly so I at least wanted to use the song in one of my fics. Besides I just think it's an awesome song that fits. So go listen to it. The ending song I used also came from Haruhi Suzumiya and is called Tomare. Copyright Aya Hirano as well. Check out the song. It really does fit Stacy in my view. Though I used the English dub versions of both songs.
Anyways... It's about time we *raises arm in the air ans snaps fingers before pointing at the screen.* wrap this up!
Chapter 1: The rejection of Stacy Sticker
Bradley ran as fast as he could through the jungle terrain as the loud sounds of footsteps shook the earth behind him. He was getting tired, but knew he was almost to the safe zone as he saw someone waving to him from the entrance of some temple ruins.
"Hurry up B-man!" His fellow companion called to him. Not that it would make him go any faster than he already was. Even if right now he wished that it could.
"Quit running and take your pounding like a man Scradley." A voice boomed from behind him as the trees were uprooted and flung in every direction to reveal the large wedgiesaurus Rex. "We promise it'll be like ripping off a bandage."
"Yeah. Quick and painless." The smaller stinkraptor chirped in as it joined in the chase.
"Aw c'mon Lance. Give me a break would ya? After all it's..." He had been jumped before he could even finish his sentence. The girl who had been waiting for him at the entrance to the temple ruins winced as her best friend's yells echoed throughout the land.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Bradley said as he came out onto the black title card. "There's something wrong here."
"What are you talking about B-man? Everything looks fine to me." Stacy said as she joined her partner on the title card.
"Well for one thing why is the title in Japanese? I thought we were Canadian." Bradley asked as he waved a little Canadian flag in his hand.
"Well duh B-man we haven't exactly been drawn as stick figures for a while now for your big fat information." She rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"What do you mean Stace?" It was just then that he realized that she was right. They weren't stick figures instead Stacy seemed to have a high quality Japanese animation style look to her. He looked at himself only to see he was drawn the same way. "Woah... When did this happen?"
"Since the beginning of this series. Did it really take you this long to notice?" She tapped her foot in impatience before grabbing his arm. "Now come on B-man you're holding up the movie."
"Wait! Can't we at least get the translated title!" Bradley exclaimed as Stacy pulled him off screen.
"Oh alright." Stacy sighed and pulled out a universal remote. "Now if we could continue."

STICKIN' AROUND!
THE MOVIE!
STICKIN' AROUND FOREVER!

DAY BY DAY, I'm tired of playing games all the time
So that's it, now I quit! I am done with this for good
OH MY BOY, if you don't make a choice in the end
I don't know how you'll cope when they feed you all their lies
Now and again when I look at MYSELF and I don't know quite what to say
Once I decide that I like what I find, in an instant,
now comes a time for a change
I SAY, I SAY, MY HEAVEN!
SUPER DRIVER hold on tight because I don't slow down for stragglers
I won't stop till I reach the top. Get ready, GO!
Sweet success, or so they say, is never quite like you'd imagine
That's a lie! Give it one more try! So hurry up!
I don't know, you don't know, nobody does,
but we're thrown in all of the time
I don't know, you don't know, nobody does,
so I guess I'll give it a try
I don't know, you don't know, nobody does,
but it's happening all of the time
I don't know, you don't know, nobody does,
but I feel like that's alright!

"You alright B-man?" Stacy asked her best friend as he slowly crawled his way up the stairs to meet her at the school's entrance.
"You'd think they would have at least taken a day off on graduation." Bradley moaned as she helped him to his feet. It had been two years since Bradley had moved back into his best friend Stacy's life. Ever since then a lot has happened to the two 18 year olds now wearing graduation gowns and caps.
"They don't even take a break when it's summer vacation. What made you think they would now?" She asked as the two walked through the empty school hallway. The walls and ceilings adorned with decorations congratulating the graduates who would be earning their diploma's at the ceremony taking place momentarily.
"Whatever. I'm just glad to finally be done with this place." Bradley smiled and stretched his arms above his head.
"The future looks bright from here on." Stacy smiled back at him.
"Yeah... Bright..." He said as he watched his friend start to break into a run out of excitement. Fishing into his pocket he began to think about the conversation the two had a few months back.
..
"Isn't this great Stace! Once we graduate we'll be able to go and do anything we want!" He exclaimed excitedly.
Stacy only let out a sigh.
"What's with you Stace? I though you'd be more excited." His face softened into one of concern. He wasn't used to seeing his girlfriend like this.
"It's nothing B-man. It's just..." Stacy began before being interrupted.
"Just nothing! This is what we've been waiting for! In a couple months we'll be free from the shackles of school for good! Then we can..." This time it was Stacy's turn to interrupt.
"No WE can't Bradley." She snapped before looking at him with eyes that pretty much told him all he needed to know. "I've got something to tell you."
"No way Stace. This isn't going where I think it is... Is it?" He asked her in a softer voice.
"Look B-man. We knew one day it was going to come to this again..." She looked away from him slightly as she placed her hands on his shoulders. "I've been accepted... So when fall comes I'll be leaving..."
"You're saying that... This is our last summer together?" His body going numb from the shock as he watched her confirm what he'd been fearing.
"But it's not going to be like last time. I mean we can keep in touch, and I'll always come back during summer break." She gave him the best smile she could. "It's not like we're losing each other again right?"
"R-Right." He responded despite the shock that her revelation was putting him through.
..
He held onto the object in his pocket tightly as his mind came back to the present. Just for his trail of thought to be broken by Stacy grabbing his arm.
"It's starting! If we don't hurry we might not get our diploma's at all!" She exclaimed as she broke into a run dragging Bradley behind her. As they made it to the backstage area of the auditorium, where all the other members of their class were already lined up a booming voice cut the silence.
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY MACKEREL! ARE YOU TWO LATE OOOOOOOOOOOR WHAT?" Dil exclaimed.
"I thought graduation would be the one day Bradley would be on time for." Melody giggled as Bradley blushed wishing he could be hit by a passing shrink ray.
"Yeah well you know how the gruesome twosome are. They had to give B-man their graduation present." Stacy grinned making him want to shrink to the size of an ant even more.
"Stacy Stickler. I know you have no concept of time, but please try not to embarrass the rest of us. Especially me." Ashley said in a tone that said she wasn't messing around as she approached the others.
"As if Ashley. Like you need me to humiliate yourself." Stacy pointed out only for it to roll off the other girls shoulder.
"I'm just letting you know since practically everyone is out there watching us." She said in a pompous tone as she shoved Stacey's head through the curtain. Allowing the spiky haired girl to see that they did indeed have a huge audience. Including her parents who were actually sitting together for once.
"I see what you mean." Stacy mumbled.
"Then you'll understand that I'm not just saying this for my benefit." The blonde haired girl replied before going back to her place in line.
"THAT ASHLEY SURE IS SOMETHING HUH?" Dil boomed out
"It almost seems like she was being... nice." Melody struggled with the last word.
"Oh she sure is something all right, but I wouldn't say it was nice. It's just Ashley being Ashley." Stacy scowled as she and Bradley took their places in line. The rest of the ceremony being as boring as one might expect. All the parents in the audience beamed with pride at their children's accomplishments. As for the students themselves they just waited in anticipation until finally!
They were free!
Stacy and Bradley raced each other back to Latchkey with diploma's in hand. The two happily laughing as their long trip through high school finally came to an end. Now all that was left for the two was the future.
The future.
Thinking about it and looking at his girlfriends wide grin Bradley found himself slowing down until he came to a stop only for Stacy to take notice as she began to slow down as well.
"Hey B-man what's up? I'm gonna win at this rate." Stacy smiled only for it to disappear as she saw the serious look on her boyfriends face.
"Stace I've got something real important to ask you." He answered as he steeled his resolve.
"What is it?" She wasn't sure why but the air around them felt completely different from before.
"You've always been my best friend as well as the most important person in my life." Bradley began as he approached her. "After what you said a few months ago I got to thinking, and I've realized that I can't possibly live my life without you. So..." He dropped on one knee as he took a small box from his pocket. Inside was a perfectly cut diamond ring. "Will you marry me Stace?"
Stacy didn't even know what to think. It was like her brain exploded. Was he joking? He didn't look like he was joking.
"Where did you get this?" she motioned at the ring with nothing less than pure surprise in her voice.
"Well actually..." Bradley started but found himself stopping in mid sentence. He couldn't just come out and tell her could he? She'd never believe him. Heck he couldn't even believe it himself that he'd been working some part time jobs to save up for it ever since that day. He wasn't even sure how he had been able to keep it secret from her until this very moment. "You'd never believe me if I told you."
Stacy still in complete surprise found herself looking between the ring and Bradley for quite some time. It felt like an eternity before Stacy clenched her fists and looked away from him.
"I can't." She responded with a sad look on her face.
"What do you mean you can't?" It was Bradley's turn to be surprised.
"I'm saying I can't!" She snapped at him before turning around and walking away from him. "And I'd appreciate it if you never asked me that again."
"So that's it then? Despite how miserable you were when we were apart, and how happy we've been together the last two years. You're just going to throw it all away?" Bradley yelled after her only to see her turn around with anger in her eyes.
"Don't you DARE compare me to you!" She growled "Unlike you I wasn't planning on disappearing off the face of the earth!"
"But you're still leaving and abandoning me here right? It's the exact same thing!" Bradley stood up just as angry. "You're just going to go off and have this whole new life without me! Don't you even care how I feel?"
"B-man I think it'd be a good idea if we don't see each other for a while. Before we both say something we regret." Stacy turned her back on him again and continued walking back to latchkey by herself.
"Stace! Wait! STACY!" Bradley called after her only for her to ignore his every word.
