The FINAL chapter of The Director is up! I have been waiting for this moment! I hope you like it! Let me know! Please Review!

In Limbo…

Cobb and Ariadne walked through a rundown, barren city and into a building created by Mal and Cobb. They walked into the kitchen where Mal sat patiently. She smiled seeing Cobb, but then the smile faded seeing Ariadne.

"What is she doing here?" Mal asked fingering the knife in her hands.

Cobb sat down across from Mal.

"She's here to take Riley back," he said and Mal shook her head.

"No," she said firmly.

Cobb held up his hands.

"Let her take Riley back, and I'll stay here with you," he said and Ariadne went to speak, but Cobb silenced her.

"You promise?" Mal said hopeful.

Cobb smiled weakly.

"Where's Riley, Mal?" he asked and Mal pointed to the balcony.

"Go check Ariadne," Cobb said and Ariadne ran to the balcony.

She saw Riley huddled in the fetal position.

"She's here!" Ariadne called back.

Cobb swallowed.

"Now take her and go," Cobb said and Ariadne stared at him.

"I'm not leaving you here," she said and Cobb turned to her.

"I still have to find Saito," he said and Mal became infuriated.

She went to stab Cobb but Ariadne shot her.

"What are you doing?" Cobb yelled.

Ariadne shrugged.

"Improvising!" she said and kicked Riley off of the balcony.

She turned to Cobb. He nodded.

"Go with her! I have to get Saito!" he yelled and Ariadne nodded and jumped off the balcony.

Dream Level Three…Eames…

Eames felt the ground shake beneath him. Arthur blew up the explosives. How the hell was he going to tell this to Arthur? He decided to use the paddles one more time. They didn't work the last five times, but he decided a sixth time couldn't hurt. He pressed the paddles to her chest.

"Come on Riles," he said and jolted her.

Riley's eyes snapped open and she coughed holding her chest. Eames' eyes widened.

"Riles?" he said and she managed a small smile.

Then the fortress split and she held onto him tightly.

"Dream boy saves the day," Eames said holding her close and Riley smiled.

They both fell into the cracks.

Dream Level One…Yusuf…

Riley opened her eyes to someone pressing a mask to her face. She breathed in the oxygen and tried to see through the water that surrounded her. Eames and Fischer were gone. Ariadne was gone and so was Yusuf. She looked in front of her and her heart beat faster. Arthur.

He pointed up and she nodded taking in a deep breath of oxygen and swimming up. She broke the surface and inhaled as much as she could. Arthur emerged a minute later. They both swam to the bank and Eames and Yusuf helped them out. When Riley was on her feet she immediately connected with Arthur, who held her just as tight.

"How was it down there?" he asked after they pulled away.

"Successful," was all she said.

No need to tell him she died and came back. Eames chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Arthur turned to him.

"Oh nothing, she's right it was successful. And it made me realize six is my new favorite number," he said and Riley grinned.

Arthur turned back to Riley confused.

"Inside joke," she said smiling and kissed him lovingly.

Arthur happily accepted her kiss and returned it intensely.

Then she pulled away quickly.

"What about Cobb and Saito?" she asked looking down at the water.

Ariadne smiled.

"Something tells me they'll be alright," she said and Riley smiled.

They would be.

End Dream Sequence.

On the Airplane…

Riley's eyes opened and she sat up. Cobb and Saito were also sitting up. She smiled at her brother, glad to see him awake. She turned to Arthur.

"It's over. We're free," she said barely containing the huge smile across her face.

Arthur smiled.

"Let's go home," he said leaning over and kissing her gently.

They all exited the plane and walked to get their luggage. Cobb walked passed Eames and Yusuf, who smiled at him. He nodded to Saito and Ariadne. Then he came across Arthur and Riley.

"We're coming with you. I want to see my niece and nephew," she said and Cobb smiled and nodded.

Riley grabbed Cobb's hand tightly as they walked to the security booth. Cobb handed the man his passport with Riley's and she felt him squeeze her hand. The man greeted them.

"Welcome Mr. and Ms. Cobb," he said smiling.

Cobb nodded and the two siblings walked by taking deep breaths. They saw Miles and smiled as they hugged him. Then it was off to Cobb's house.

Cobb's House…

They all walked in and the first thing Cobb did was pull out his top. Miles went to get the kids. Riley and Arthur watched as Cobb spun the top on the counter and watched it. It was a good sturdy spin. As the trio watched, they heard familiar little voices.

"Daddy!"

Cobb looked up and saw the faces of his children. He left the kitchen immediately and ran to them. Arthur and Riley stared at the top still spinning. Arthur jumped as Riley smacked it down with her hand. He looked at her and she smiled.

I would know if we were dreaming. I'm a lucid dreamer remember?" she asked and Arthur smiled.

"I want to live normal, boringly real lives with the people I love," she added and Arthur kissed her.

"Then let's start," he said leading her to the back yard where Cobb, Miles and the kids were.

"I'll be there in a second," she said, watching as Arthur joined Cobb, Miles and the kids outside.

Riley stared at the fallen top on the table, her eyes unreadable.

END.

AND SO IT ENDS! Thoughts? Let me know!
