Hey, guys! Sorry that I didn't update right away like I had intended, but things came up and I had to leave. I'll be leaving again soon, so I'm ending it here. Enjoy the last chapter!

Monger strolled toward the pair with a scowl on his face. Dr. Cockroach helped Susan off the ground before Monger grabbed the front of his lab-coat and looked at him face-to-face. He glared at the seemingly nervous Dr. Cockroach.

"You just love toyin' with me, doncha Doc?" Monger growled.

"I-I" Dr. Cockroach said before Susan pulled him out of Monger's grip and upright beside him. He brushed himself off as Susan tried to explain things to the aggravated general.

"This is only temporary, General." Susan told him. "Doc...well, he made this thing...so now...I can go between small and big...um, just look at it."

Susan stuck here hand out at the general. He looked at the translucent, green ring. It was a simple silver band. He turned her hand around, so he could look at it at all angles. He grunted as he dropped her hand and turned to scowl at Dr. Cockroach.

"If you were gonna propose, you could at least get a better ring." Monger said with a shake of his head. "Something with a rock that shows how much you care for her."

"Wh-What!?" Dr. Cockroach and Susan shouted at the same time.

"It's not like that at all, General." Dr. Cockroach said with large hand gestures. "The ring is just the tool that extracts and holds the Quantonium until Susan wishes it back. That's all it was!"

"Why did you choose a ring?" Monger smirked as a chuckling Link came up beside him.

"W-Well...It was a piece of jewelry that most women wear." Dr. Cockroach sputtered.

"Yeah." Link laughed. "Engaged/Married women. In fact, Susan, why'd you put it on your left hand ring finger, hmm?"

Susan who had been silently blushing next to Dr. Cockroach blushed harder at the new attention given to her. Especially, the new curious look she was being given by Dr. Cockroach who checked to see that she had, indeed, put the ring on that precise finger.

"W-Well, I-I just...he said to put it on...and.." Susan wasn't sure what to say. She was confused enough already. "I just...I don't know, okay? I'm sorry...I just..."

Susan took off running, and Dr. Cockroach took a moment to glare at Monger and Link before he ran after her, calling her name. B.O.B. was confused and rolled up next to Link and Monger who now felt guilty.

"What's wrong with Susan?" B.O.B. asked innocently.

"We messed with a confused heart." Monger said solemnly.

"Now, Susan's paying the price..." Link added sadly as his fins drooped.

Susan had made it to her room, and was about to grow again to reach her keypad when Dr. Cockroach caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around to look at him. She had tears silently rolling down her cheeks. Without saying anything, he pulled her into his embrace. She wept on his shoulder and leaned into him. Dr. Cockroach silently stroked her.

"My dear," He said quietly. "Ignore those idiots. They're just being immature and imbecilic. Please stop crying, my dear."

Susan sniffed and leaned back to look at him. She was almost entranced by his giant, amber eyes. Almost.

"It's just..." Susan sighed. "I thought we...sparked. Connected...I just...after everything that's happen...I..."

Susan stopped talking and leaned back into him. He gently stroked her again.

"I understand, my dear." Dr. Cockroach said soothingly. "When we first met, I felt a spark. Yet, you were engaged so it would have been inappropriate to make a move. When he left you, it was still inappropriate because you were grieving. Then we saved the world, and became human again. I thought being human could change things...for us. That maybe we would work. Unfortunately, we changed back and now Link and Monger are being total jerks...I don't know how things are going to work themselves out, but I do know one thing..."

He gently pushed her back to hold her hands in his own.

"I know that I love you. No matter where you want us to go from here." Dr. Cockroach confessed.

He felt a huge weight being taken off his shoulders. He had did it. He could die right now and be happy knowing she at least knew. Yet, it was highly unlikely he would die right at this moment. He would have to face rejection or have his love returned. She was staring at him slack jawed with an expression that was hard to read as he waited for her answer. When she finally left her shocked state, she pulled the front of his lab-coat to her and crashed their lips together.

And that was all the answer he needed.

The End.
