A/N: So, after fourteen and a half years, I'm finally going to finish this story. For fans of my JAG fan fics, this will be epic compared to that…just kidding. This has no literary merit really, it has just driven me crazy to have this unfinished work for FOURTEEN AND HALF YEARS!

Chapter 10: This Story Ends Now, in a Brief, Unsatisfying Manner, But it's Over!

COBRA's plan failed miserably. The fake Flint got off the DUPLICATOR, took one step, and turned back into gelatinous goo before everyone's eyes. By this time, the real Flint had become conscious again and at the sight of his double melting to the ground, he started laughing so hard he broke the binds that held him in place. He sat up, looked around, and noted that no one, absolutely no one, was paying any attention to him. The COBRA commander was yelling at Dr. Mindbender, Tomax (or was it Xamot?) was yelling at Xamot (or was it Tomax?), and the Baroness was yelling at Destro.

So, Flint got up and left.

Hours later, Flint walked into Joe Headquarters. It had taken him a while to get back there; he was really dizzy from being on that infernal machine and he fell down a lot, hindering his progress.

Snake Eyes was the first to see him. He tried to call to the others, but as he couldn't speak, no one paid any attention to him. Not for the first time, Snake Eyes wondered why he hung around such Neanderthals. Thankfully, Scarlett saw Flint shortly thereafter and was able to announce it to everyone. Everyone came running. Everyone, that is, except for Lady Jaye.

She felt too guilty.

She was refusing to commit to Flint because he engaged in the singularly unmanly sport of knitting.

She loved Flint, though.

She loved her sweaters…her blankets…her socks…her underwear. My god, what was she doing?

She jumped out and ran into the main room of headquarters where everyone had gathered around their recently returned warrant officer.

"Flint!" she screamed, rushing toward him. He caught her in his arms and spun her around and they engaged in enough making out to make Snake Eyes blush. Of course, you couldn't see him blush given he was dressed all in black. Head to toe. Black. Just black…

Finally, Lady Jaye stepped away from Flint and shouted for everyone's attention. They all stood silently, waiting for her to continue, sensing she was going to put on the greatest performance of her life.

"Everyone, everyone," she cried. "I want to tell you about Flint. He's brave, he's big…big everywhere…" She wiggled her eyebrows, and Flint ducked his head in self-deprecation. "And…he knits. Yes, this manliest of men knits. Sweaters, socks, blankets…more. And before you laugh at him, I want everyone to know how wonderful he is. All those beautiful gifts we've given to you over the years were all made by this gorgeous hunk of a man-and you know t was the finest knitting you'll ever see. And it was all Flint! He even knit THIS!"

Lady Jaye ripped open her green top and beneath it there was an intricately knit bra. The pants came open next, revealing a matching panty. Everyone gasped in shock and then you could have heard a pin drop in the room.

Suddenly, a slow clap came from the back of the room. Duke moved forward as he applauded, and it was obvious he was near tears. "Flint, Flint…this is amazing. You're amazing!" The rest of the Joes smiled at each other knowingly. They all knew Duke was…well, you know.

The whole room erupted into applause then, and Lady Jaye and Flint basked in the joy of the moment.

When the room quieted again, Duke suddenly stood up on a table. The all looked toward their leader.

"Everyone, everyone? I have a confession to make too. I love…Sssss—"

Everyone rolled their eyes. They all knew he loved Snake Eyes.

"Scarlett!"

Everyone gasped in shock. Scarlett fainted. Snake Eyes…well who knows what he was thinking.

It was a day to remember at GIJoe.

The months passed and Lady Jaye and Flint were finally married, Jaye in a beautiful knitted wedding dress, courtesy of her soon-to-be-husband. Of course, it was bad luck for the groom to see the dress before the wedding, so he had to do it blindfolded, but he was so good, no one would ever be the wiser.

What was most interesting was the development of the relationship between Scarlett and Duke. Snake Eyes got fed up with everyone and went to work as a mime at a Renaissance fair. Scarlett didn't want to join him, so she and Duke were left as a twosome. She realized Duke was manly. Very manly. They married shortly thereafter.

And they all lived happily ever after.

End! Finally! Rejoice!
