Middleton was a town between Lowerton and Upperton. Most would say, "No duh, that's why they call it Middleton", but it truly was. Lowerton was a small town where nothing much really happened, mostly because few people lived there. Upperton was a high-tech, bustling town with several ten thousands of people. Middleton had embraced technology, but somehow retained the feel of a small town. It was a bright day, not a cloud in the sky. School would be out by the end of the week. A green Subaru drove into town undetected, both of its occupants former Middleton Mad Dogs.

"Times have changed," Drew commented. No one had called him Dr. Drakken for years now. Theygo nodded.

"Definetely," she stared out the window a few minutes before asking, "Tim knows we're coming, doesn't he?"

"I called and told him before we left," Theygo took a deep breath as they pulled into the driveway.

"I know I'm doing the right thing, but it doesn't feel right," Drew took his wife's hand.

"I'll be right there beside you. This is something you've told me a thousand times. Now, we just need to talk to Amy and bring closure."

"It hurts to talk about it."

"I know. This will be the last time we'll ever have to talk about Carmen again, I promise," Theygo opened the car door and Drew opened his and together they got out. Theygo's heart pounded as the doorbell rang. Not for fear that it wasn't the right house, but for fear that it was.

Tim was the one to open the door. His hair had more gray hairs than Drew, which was a relief. She had some unrealistic idea that Tim and Amy had somehow not grown old like them.

"Come on in," he greeted. They filed behind him into the living room.

Amy was there. Theygo couldn't help but feel a pang of envy at how well age had treated her. She was sitting on the couch, surrounded by photographs old and new along with half-full albums.

"Honey," Tim called. She jumped.

"Time, you scared me!" She laughed, "I was just looking through some of our high school pictures. You should see your hair," she set a picture aside, "Bethy was such a shutterbug, wasn't she? Snapping pictures every time she got a new roll of film."

"Speaking of Bethy, we have some guests," Amy's eyes met Theygo's. All emotion left Amy's face. Theygo's muscles tensed and she took a step back. Drew caught her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"We were passing by and thought we might come to say hi," Drew said casually. Amy shot a betrayed look at her husband, as though knowing he had helped plan this.

Theygo gathered her courage and went to sit beside Amy. Amy didn't shy away as Theygo expected, but she didn't ease any either. Drew and Tim shot each other looks.

"We need to talk about what happened all those years ago," Theygo said. Amy smiled bitterly.

"I've been waiting to talk since the day you left Middleton," she said.

So, what did happen all those years ago? Only time will tell. I'm going to do the set-up like I did in "Never Looking Back", switching the point of view every other chapter. Also, I got a question as to why I called this series "the finals", and so I decided to just tell everyone at once. I'm not sure if I'm going to write anymore stories after this one. I just don't have the ideas, or they're so stupid they'll get shot down in a sea of flames (bad pun).
