Hi everyone! Welcome to the last story in the series: "For Good"! It does help if you read the other six stories first ("Catastrophe!," "Disaster!," "Trouble!," "Freshman Anxiety," "Psychic in the Light," and "Epidemic!"), but it's not exactly required. I have posted a preview of the story...a few months ago, but this is the real deal. So I hope you'll enjoy this one! *I do not own anything related to "Meet the Robinsons" or the song "All of This" by Shaimus*

WILBUR'S POV

Hey girl, whatcha doin'?

There's something in the kitchen that shouldn't be brewin'

Oh, hey! Step away

We should save our love for another day

I woke up listening to the first verse of a song my girlfriend introduced to me. It had been one of my favorites since, mainly because of the drums and the piano, and I decided to sing along to wake myself up even more.

But hey babe, you got me goin'

The kitchen's on fire and we're stuck in the oven

Oh, hoo! You should know

All of this makes me love you more

I got off the bed and took out my signature outfit from my drawers.

Hey, n' everything seems alright

And I know you will have me tonight

Take me where my heart says yes

But my mind will say no

Hey girl, you got me lover

The house burned down and we're running for cover

Hey, hoo! You should know

All of this makes me love you more

After putting my belt on, I fixed my hair, which was a little messy from last night as I jammed to the guitar solo. My cowlick that I had loved since I was born was perfected about halfway through the solo. I even sang along with the solo while putting my favorite pair of shoes on. I took my phone from the small desk next to my bed and stepped on the levitation platform to go to the lower ground while snapping my fingers to the beat.

Hey, n' everything seems alright

And I know you will have me tonight

Take me where my heart says yes

But my mind will say no

Mind will say no

I walked out of my room with my car keys and walked toward the dining room for breakfast.

Hey babe, you got me lover

The house burned down and we're running for cover

Hey, oh! You should know

All of this makes me love you more

I snapped my fingers again and jammed as I passed each family member, who cheered me on. Yes, it was my first day of senior year, and nothing was going to get in my way this time! I was going to get as much support as possible from my family and friends, and I, Wilbur Robinson, was determined to graduate high school with no worries.

All of this makes me love you more!

I couldn't help but scream the last bit of the song as I entered the dining room and took my seat next to my mom and Uncle Fritz.

"Well, you're really happy today," my mom, Franny Robinson said.

"What all can I say?" I replied with a smirk. "I'm finally a high school senior, I have a loving family, the best girlfriend I could ever have, a decent job, and a great future ahead of me."

"We're very proud of you, Wilbur," my dad, Cornelius said. "You'll do great."

"Have you decided if you're going to Todayland University?" my cousin-once-removed, Laszlo asked.

"I plan on applying," I answered, pointing a finger at him along with a smirk.

"How's Karena doing?" Tallulah, my other cousin-once-removed, asked.

"She's doing well. She told me she'll be student teaching this semester and then she graduates."

"Ladies and gentlemen," Carl, my robot best friend, announced. "Breakfast is served."

A whole bunch of mini-Carls brought plates of waffles and fruit to everyone as Carl handed everyone a glass of orange juice.

"Can you pass the syrup please, Aunt Billie?" I asked.

"Coming to ya, Wilbur!" my great-aunt Billie answered as she steered her toy train to my side. I grabbed both the maple and the strawberry syrup and poured them over my waffles as we all talked about what we were going to do today. I was still thinking, unbelievably, that today was my first day as a senior at Todayland High School.

"Wilbur. Wilbur!"

My thoughts were interrupted when my mom tapped me on the shoulder.

"Are you and Karena doing anything special today?"

"You know, that is an excellent question," I answered.

"No plans?" Grandpa Bud asked.

"Not yet."

"You always go out on your first day of school," Grandma Lucille chimed in. "Invite her over to dinner!"

"I'll have to see if she's busy or not," I replied. "She has her managing job, remember?"

"She's going to be very excited after graduating college," Uncle Gaston chimed in.

"I bet she is," I replied. "But why do you say that?"

"She's been tired lately." She's been talking to Uncle Gaston lately? Who knew?

"I'll talk to her about it," I replied as I took a bite of watermelon. Now that I thought about it, Uncle Gaston did make a good point; I had been seeing my girlfriend of three years, Karena Edwards, with bags under her eyes because of her job as an assistant manager at Denny's lately.

I took a glance at my phone to see that it was 7:45.

"I gotta go," I announced to my family. "I really don't wanna be late this time."

I heard a lot of my family saying "good luck" or "have a great time" as I walked out the door to head to the garage. After unlocking the garage door with my hand, I got in my navy blue car and took off toward Todayland. I've always loved driving in the city as I could see everything and appreciate what my dad, who people call the Father of the Future, did for everybody in the world.

As I drove without any sound, I had noticed that my girlfriend didn't call me this morning like she usually would. However, I shrugged it off and continued to drive without any worry; my girlfriend, who had these gorgeous green eyes and beautiful brunette hair and dressed like my mom, usually had a good reason to not call me as she has a busy life.

I approached Todayland High School after a five-minute drive and got my backpack and stuff out of the car after I parked. I walked in the school, giving everyone who passing by a high-five and approached my locker that was finally on the first floor. I had already decorated it ahead of time with pictures from my junior prom with my girlfriend. It was the best night of my life up to date. The love of my life in her teal, sparkling dress and I in my black tuxedo to match. We danced all night long, no matter the type of dance it was. And we gave each other quite a few pecks on the cheeks as we danced. I wished I could go back to that night just to hold her in my arms.

I got my stuff for my band class together and walked up the stairs toward the band room as "The Future Has Arrived" was playing on the intercom on all three floors. I had left my trumpet in the band room as we had band camp earlier this month, so I didn't have to worry about forgetting it at home. My classes for the rest of the next two days were interesting: I would be taking AP physics, trigonometry, and physical education today after band, and then chorus, astronomy, welding, and AP English. I had finished my history requirements in my junior year and was about to wrap up my electives requirements this year.

I opened the door, but then I dropped my books as I saw a familiar face in the band room: Karena Edwards, my girlfriend!

"Karena?"

"Hi, Wilbur!" my brunette girlfriend exclaimed as we hugged each other.

"You're student teaching in this classroom?" I asked.

"Yes! Amazing isn't it?" Karena paused as I saw Mr. Samuels behind her.

"I already told her she could possibly replace me when I retire," my band teacher said.

"You're retiring this year?" I asked, kind of saddened; Mr. Samuels was not only a great band teacher, but he was an epid color guard coach.

"Yes, Wilbur, I am. Back to the point. Miss Edwards has the potential to inspire students here, so here I am teaching her to be a great music teacher. She's student teaching chorus too."

"Oh wow," I said, taking it all in. "So what else are you teaching her?"

"Well, he has a photography class, a study hall, and a technology class," Karena explained. "I'm not a big photography whiz though...that's more of your field, Wilbur."

"Yeah, good luck in that," I replied.

"Well, you should probably get your stuff ready so that we can get this day started," my girlfriend said. "By the way, can you meet me in this classroom after school?"

"Sure thing, Miss Edwards." Miss Edwards. That is going to be so weird calling my girlfriend that the entire semester.

I got my trumpet and music set up and took my seat in the back of the room. Our marching band theme this year was "The Lord of the Rings," and we spent pretty much the entire band camp just playing the music. Today was going to be the start of the marching experience.

"Hey there, Robinson!" I turned to see a friend I went to prom with this past May.

"Hey Rich!" I replied back, shaking his hand.

"Can you believe it's senior year?"

"That is an excellent question," I answered with a laugh.

"Same old Wilbur," Rich replied, and then looked toward the front. "Is that Karena?"

"Yep! I knew she was student teaching, but I didn't know it was this school."

"How do you feel?" my friend asked.

"Happy, but weird," I answered. "It's gonna be really weird calling her Miss Edwards."

"Because you've dated for so long?"

"Yeah." I paused thinking about my girlfriend. "What would you think if I told you I was going to pop the question at the end of the year?"

"What question?" Rich asked.

"You know...the question that takes you to the next chapter of your relationship?"

"It's up to you, Robinson. You've been dating her for a long time, so it makes sense, but whatever you want to do, I'll be supporting you."

"Thanks." I heard the bell rang, signifying that classes were now in session. We said the pledge of allegiance and then listened to the announcements of things that were happening around Todayland High School. There was already an announcement for the seniors to start applying for scholarships at whatever college they want to go to. I was definitely thinking about applying to Todayland University, but I wasn't sure when applications would be available. It would be something to ask my parents...or even Karena, about later. After announcements, Mr. Samuels stood up to do his usual welcome speech.

"Hi everyone," Mr. Samuels started to speak. "Welcome back to Todayland High School, and a very special welcome to the new freshmen. Of course, we have already met a couple weeks ago during marching band camp. You all have done extremely well in learning the music. I would also like to say that it's only the first day of the school year, and this marching band group is already the best one I have ever taught."

The seniors and juniors in the class cheered him on as a response to that compliment.

"Now, you all are probably wondering about this woman that is next to me." Karena rose out of her chair as he mentioned her. "This is Miss Edwards. She is a student teacher here at Todayland High School. She attends Todayland University and majoring in music education, which is why she's here today. So for all you seniors who want to go to Todayland University or major in education or music, I'd say she's the best representative you've got." He paused as he got his books together.

"Now, let's go outside and learn a march or two in our routine!"


Expect Wilbur to 'sing' a lot in this story, by the way. ;) Thanks for reading! I'll see you in the next chapter or in "Saving the Future" (yes, this story is in progress, and it is a hit if you wanna check it out!)
