Chapter 9:

There everybody was, ready to go. The families were going to go to another world for their own safety, while the girls and Angelo would stay on Earth, seeing as the girls were stuck there because of what Phobos had done to them. It was a sad moment, but they knew they had to get it over with. Not saying a word the families shared one last group hug.

The Vandoms

"We're going to miss you, Will.", Susan cried as she and Tony hugged their daughter.

"I'm going to miss you guys too.", Will cried as she held onto her parents for as long as she could.

"Be careful, where ever you go, Will.", Tony said sadly.

"I will.", Will said as they pulled away from each other. "You guys be careful too."

Will then looked towards Serena as she stood with the others. Will then walked up to her and gave her a hug.

"Take care of my dad for me.", Will said.

"I will.", Serena said as she returned the hug.

The Lairs

"I'm going to miss you guys!", Irma cried as the Lairs shared one last group hug.

"We're going to miss you too!", Tom said.

"Stay safe, Irma.", Anna cried as the group hug continued.

"I will.", Irma cried as thy pulled away from each other. "I promise."

Irma then looked down at Huggle, who changed back to normal and jumped on her shoulder.

"Do a good job, fur ball.", Irma said as she petted Huggles.

"You bet!", Huggles said. "You can count on me!"

Irma then looked down at Chris and knelt down to him.

"You better watch out for our parents!", Irma said as she gently poked Chris in the chest. "You got me, Squirt!"

"Yeah.", Chris said as he looked at Irma with watery eyes.

Seeing this, Irma pulled her little brother into a hug. No words were said as the two siblings held each other.

The Cooks

"No matter what happen, Taranee, always remember that we love you.", Theresa cried.

"I love you guys too!", Taranee cried. "I wish we didn't have to do this!"

"We do too.", Lione said. "But we do understand why it has to be done. But always know that we're proud of you, Sweetheart."

"Thank you.", Taranee said as they all held each other.

"I'm not going!", Peter said surprising his family.

"What?", Theresa questioned as the family pulled away from each other.

"I'm not going.", Peter said. "I know this sound selfish of me, but I don't want to leave Taranee, or Cassidy."

"But you have to go, Peter!", Taranee said.

"No, I don't.", Peter said calmly. "You're my little sister, Taranee. What kind of big brother would I be if I were to let you leave, while I go somewhere safe?"

"But Peter-"

"Are you sure about this, son?", Lione asked Peter, cutting Taranee off.

"Lione?", Theresa questioned her husband.

"Yeah.", Peter said as he looked father in his eyes. "I am."

"Peter, no!", Theresa cried.

"He's old enough to make his mind up, Theresa.", Lione said. "He's not a little kid anymore."

"Thanks, dad.", Peter said with a smile.

"Just be safe, son.", Lione said as he hugged his son. "And look after your sister."

"I will.", Peter said as they pulled away from each other.

Peter then looked at his mother hoping she would be okay with what he was doing.

"Mom, I-"

Peter was cut off when Theresa hugged her son tightly.

"You can be real stubborn!", Theresa cried as she held on to her son.

"I get it from my mother.", Peter joked getting a small laugh from his mother.

As they pulled away from each other, Theresa and Peter smiled at each other, knowing that everything would be okay. Peter then turned to face Taranee who was still a little misty eyed. Taranee then wrapped her brother in a hug.

"You're real stupid!", Taranee said as she held on to her brother. "You know that?"

"Yeah.", Peter said as he returned the hug. "I know."

"Peter?"

"Hey, sis?"

"Thanks.", Taranee said as they held each other.

"No problem, sis.", Peter said. "No problem at all."

The Hales

Cornelia and Lillian looked at each other with watery eyes. Cornelia then knelt down and hugged her little sister.

"I'm going to miss you, Cornelia!", Lillian cried as they hugged each other.

"I'm going to miss you too, Lillian!", Cornelia said as they hugged each other. "But I know that we'll see each other again. It may take a while, but we'll be together again."

"I hope so.", Lillian said as they pulled away from each other.

"I know so.", Cornelia said with a small smile.

Cornelia then looked at Napoleon.

"Watch over them, okay?", Cornelia asked him.

"No problem, Pinky.", Napoleon said with a smirk.

"I'll let that go just this once.", Cornelia said with a small smile before standing up to face her parents.

Before she knew it, Harold and Elizabeth wrapped Cornelia in a group hug.

"We're going to miss you, dear!", Elizabeth cried.

"I'm going to miss you guys, too!", Cornelia cried as she held onto her parents.

"Be careful out there, Cornelia.", Harold said.

"You guys be careful, too.", Cornelia said as they held onto each other for a few more a little more time. "I love you guys."

"We love you, too.", Elizabeth said as they continued their group hug.

The Lins

"Mom! Dad! I-", Hay Lin began to say as tears flowed down her face.

"Shhh.", Chen said as he and Joan hugged their daughter. "It's okay, Hay Lin. We know what has to be done. It may hurt at first, but I know you'll be okay."

"Your father's right, dear.", Joan said as she began to cry. "You're a big girl now. And I know that you can handle yourself."

"But always know that we'll always love you.", Chen said proudly.

"I love you guys, too!", Hay Lin cried as she held on to her parents.

"Do not worry, Hay Lin.", Yan Lin said as she walked up to them as they pulled away from each other. "Your mother and father will be okay. And the both of us will be okay too."

"Wait! What?", Hay Lin questioned as she looked at her grandmother. "Do you mean that-"

"That's right, kiddo!", Yan Lin said with a smile. "I'm going with you!"

"Oh, Grandma!", Hay Lin cried happily as she hugged Yan Lin. "You're the best!"

"I already knew that!", Yan Lin said with a grin as she returned the hug.

Suddenly, Chen and Joan joined in the hug.

"I love you, mom!", Chen said.

"I love you too, son.", Yan Lin said.

"Be careful.", Joan said to Yan Lin.

"I will.", Yan Lin said as the family shared their group hug.

The Vanders

"You're going with them, aren't you?", Angelo asked his uncle.

"Yeah.", John said as he looked at Susan with a small smile.

"You love her don't you?", Angelo asked as he saw who John was looking at.

"What was your first clue?", John asked with a small laugh.

"Maybe the fact that you two got together four months after she and Mr. Collins broke up, when he moved out of town.", Angelo said with a smirk. "I know Will is pretty glad you and her mom got together."

"It's not going to be right without you around.", Angelo said.

"You'll be fine, Angelo.", John said. "You'll be just fine."

John and Angelo shared a hug knowing that it would be a while before they would see each other again.

"I love you, Uncle John.", Angelo said as they continued to hug each other.

"I love you too, Angelo.", John said as they pulled away from each other.

"And what are we, chopped lover?", Joe questioned as he and Kadma walked up to John and Angelo.

John then hugged his parents knowing that they were going to stay on Earth with the kids.

"Be careful out there, son.", Kadma said.

"I will.", John said as they hugged. "I love guys."

"We love you too.", Joe said as they pulled away from each other smiling at each other knowing that they'd be okay.

Vandoms & Vanders

Once John said his goodbye to Kadma and Joe, Will walked up to him ands gave him a hug.

"Please watch out for my mom.", Will said as she hugged John.

"I will.", John said as he returned the hug. "Do me a favor and keep an eye out on Angelo, will you."

"Sure.", Will said as they pulled apart with a small smile. "Besides. He may end up being my cousin."

John couldn't help but laugh at that along with Will knowing how close he and Susan have gotten. Meanwhile, Angelo was walking towards Susan who was watching what was happening between Will and John.

"Hey, Aunt Susan.", Angelo said to Susan.

"Hey, you", Susan said with a small smile.

"Do me a favor and watch out for him.", Angelo said as he looked at his Uncle John. "He's going to need you, even though he won't admit it."

Susan then saw a lone tear run down Angelo's face. She then pulled Angelo into a hug.

"You be careful.", Susan said as she hugged Angelo. "You hear me?"

"Yeah.", Angelo said as he returned the hug. "I'll be careful."

"And watch out for Will for me, will you.", Susan said.

"I will.", Angelo said as they pulled away from each other smiling.

Once the families said their goodbyes, they knew it was time to go. The parents had gathered their suitcases and were ready to go.

"Here you go, Irma.", Tom said as he handed Irma an envelope of cash.

"What's this for?", Irma said as she saw all the cash in the envelope. "Whoa! All this is for me?"

"Yes.", Anna said. "John said for us to get this for you."

"You're going to need it for the trip we'll be taking.", Kadma said.

"Where are we going anyway?", Cornelia asked as her mother handed her an envelope of cash.

"To a place where you'll be staying for a while.", Yan Lin said as Chen gave Hay Lin an envelope of cash. "The cash is for you to spend for food and any of the restaurants we'll be stopping at along the way."

"Plus, for other things.", Joe said.

"This is a lot of money!", Taranee said as she looked into the envelope her mom gave her after splitting the cash between Taranee and Peter.

"Just make sure not to spend it all in one place.", Lione said with a grin.

"Here you go, Sweetie.", Susan said as she and Tony each gave Will an envelope of cash.

"Be careful, and watch out for yourself.", Tony said with a small.

"I will.", Will said as she looked into both of the envelope she got. "I'm going to have some fun with all this cash!"

"Will!", Susan and Tony said at the same time in a calm yet stern tone.

"What?", Will questioned with a small smile. "It's not every day a girl gets this much cash at one time."

"It is time to go.", Halinor said calmly as she opened a fold.

"What the heck is that?", Tom asked.

"That, dad is a fold.", Irma said. "Don't worry, it's safe. It's how we get... I mean use to go to other worlds."

"Don't, Irma.", Hay Lin said with a smile as she placed a comforting hand on her best friend's shoulder. "It'll be okay."

"I do not mean to rush everyone, but I can not keep the fold open for much longer!", Halinor said as she tried to keep the fold open. "I used much energy when I transferred the Regent's power into Lillian and Chris and Angelo's energy into the two familiars."

"You guys have to get going!", Will said to the parents.

After sharing one last hug with their daughters, the parents and younger siblings all went through the fold, with Halinor before it closed it closed. As the fold closed, the girls knew that it would be a long time before they saw them again.

A/N: Well, that's that. They parents of the girls along with Lillian and Chris are now gone and on another world. Hopefully they will see them again. All they have to do is clear their name and expose Phobos for the evil man he is. Good luck with that.

Please review.
