Chapter Twelve-Fake-Out
Dr. C winces at the fiery explosion. "Oh...no." We all look back in horror. What have we done? What have I done? It's all my fault! If I wasn't playing around with my stupid mind powers like an idiot, he wouldn't have been forgotten! Insectosaurus whirls around and soars back to the explosion site before anyone even asks him to. I'm so stunned that I forget to hang on, and I slam into Aunt Susan's side. She steadies me. I can't cry. I'm in shock. Is this what a heart attack feels like?
Insectosaurus lands none too gently upon the rubble and jars us all, almost shaking my brain off its stem. I know this is all my fault. I run into what's left of the ship to find that there's nothing left of it. Just the doorway standing in the middle of the debris. I search everywhere for B.O.B. I see the others doing the same. I'm too numb to feel anything. Then, I see something out of the corner of my eye. A flash of bright blue. I whirl around and see Nebleon with some of B.O.B.'s goop on his shoulder. He SURVIVED?! How did Nebleon survive!? He's really weak; I can tell when he tries to grab me. I swerve from him easily. He has a gun that looks much like the one that we used to blow up the ship not five minutes ago.
"You...stupid..." He gasps for breath. I see his scaly skin is charred, as is his outfit. He's on his last legs. "...witch..." He's hissing hatefully at me, trying to stay upright.
"Boo!" I hear a voice say, and before I even have time to wonder, something swallows Nebleon from behind. Something! It's something, all right! It's B.O.B.! My mouth drops open in shock yet again. "Hey Jess," he says.
The others come running. "B.O.B.!" Dr. C says. "How did you live?"
"How did you not die?" Link asks, obviously wanting to know so that he can be just as good as him.
"Aren't you guys forgetting something?" B.O.B. asks. "I'm...THE INVINCIBLE BENZOATE OSTYLEZENE BICARBONATE!"
(page-break)
All the aliens have been defeated. I can't believe it. Nebleon and all of his evil helpers are gone. They only wanted me so that they could make sure I didn't remember how the alien empire was destroyed in the first place. I didn't have to. We all destroyed it the monster way. Our way. I practice my powers on clouds and wind until we come to my neighborhood in Modesto. Then, Insectosaurus lets us off his wings and roars with happiness. Everyone is there waiting. My parents, Casey, Derek, a news crew, and General Monger.
"Monsters!" he says, walking over to congratulate us. "Thank you for ridding the world of alien scum for good! The president has asked me to award you with these medals of bravery...again." He pins a golden medal on each of us. It's the first award of any kind I've ever received. I beam proudly as my parents and friends come over to hug me and congratulate me.
"Sweetie!" Nancy, I mean Mom, says as she squeezes me. "You did it! I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks, Mom," I say. "We all did it."
I hear Link bragging to a group of girls off to the side. "Yeah, well, it wasn't easy. I had to make the plans...and I was the muscle, too." He grins at them. I roll my eyes, but I'm smiling. That's just Link being Link.
"Oh, my dear Jell-o! We've been apart for too long!" B.O.B. is talking to his Jell-o. I have to laugh. Aunt Susan is talking to her parents and friends. Dr. C discusses something with Monger, but he catches me looking around and comes over to me.
"Hello, Jess," he says.
"Hey Doc," I answer.
"How do you think that went?"
I sigh. "Fantastic."
He laughs, then looks at my mom and says, "You know, she came up with the way to blow up the ship. She's a very bright young lady."
"Thank you," I say.
Nancy smiles. "Yes she is. She's been interested in science for as long as I can remember. We got her when she was just learning to read. She's had her nose in a book or instruction manual ever since. She had to teach me how to rewire the game setup on the TV."
I laugh. "Well, it was easy, Mom. But I have a question."
"Sure, honey, what is it?"
I keep smiling, because I'm really hoping she'll say yes. "Can I stay on at the Academy with the monsters and go on every mission with them?"
She sighs,and then finally says, "I don't see why not."
"Yes!" I jump up and down, getting excited. Casey and Derek walk over, and I chat with both of them for a few minutes.
Derek finally says, "Jess, there's something I want to ask you."
"Yeah?" I say. Now I'm just eager to find out what it is. I left him when he tried to tell me the first few times. I'm really curious. I have to know.
"Well, I...I was going to ask you..." He sighs, then smiles at me sheepishly. "Do you still have my skateboard that I lent you?" he asks quietly.
I laugh loudly. "Yes, Derek, I still have your skateboard," I say. "I'll drop it by your house tomorrow or something."
"Great. Thanks."
"Sure." I giggle more.
"What?" he asks.
"Nothing," I say, still giggling.
"Something," he says. "You didn't break my skateboard, did you?"
"No!" I say, laughing at him. Casey, Derek, and I walk down the sidewalk, eager to catch up as friends. I'll be back to the monsters in five minutes.
Aww, now just look at that! A happy ending! I think I'll add a fluffy epilogue just to tie it all together! I can't believe it's over! Thank you SOOOOOO much to anyone and everyone who read, followed, favorited, reviewed, and PM'd me anticipating my next chapters! You guys are the best! I'll post a short little epilogue, but this is my last official chapter. I will start some new insanity soon! Until then, keep on rockin'! ~~ZombiePrincessSlayer
