Here's my epilogue! Hope you enjoy it! The story just ended too fast for me! I had to write an epilogue. You know what would be funny? If the epilogue ended up being better than the actual story...heehee...

Epilogue

"Happy birthday, dear Jessica, happy birthday to you!" I grin as I blow out my candles on my thirteenth birthday cake. It's been about two or three years since Nebleon's attack. We've done a lot since then. I've been at home for three days because the monsters were planning a surprise party for me at the facility. I love being here with the monsters. They're my family. Especially since I am a monster. I've told everyone, like my parents, Monger, and my friends. All of Modesto knows that I'm a witch. I finally feel like I belong somewhere, like I have a family, and I don't feel bad about a family anymore. I never felt grief for my missing parents because I never knew them. I loved my adoptive parents, but I always knew I didn't quite belong there. I belong here.

"Yay! You're twenty!" B.O.B. says, clapping me on the shoulder.

"B.O.B., I'm thirteen," I say, laughing.

"Really? Darn! I must've miscounted your candles." He looks at my cake. "Ten, seventy, ninety-one, seventy-four, forty-two, twenty-seven, fifteen, eighty-eight, forty-nine, fifty-seven, nineteen, dos, twenty. Nah, I'm still getting twenty." I laugh.

"Congratulations, Jessie," Aunt Susan says. "Do you feel any older?"

"Not really," I reply. She chuckles. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," she says.

"If the president granted you your freedom, why did you all stay at the facility?"

She shrugs. "We're a family. This is who we are. Monsters. Even when the world doesn't accept us, we still have each other."

I smile. "It's nice to have a family."

"Yeah, it is." She smiles down at me. "Happy birthday, Jess." She walks away to talk to Link and Dr. C.

Someone's hands cover my eyes. Human hands. "Hey Jess. Guess who."

"Oh, hmm, let me see...is it B.O.B.?"

Derek laughs as he uncovers my eyes. "Happy birthday." He hands me a skateboard with a big red bow on it.

"Oh thanks," I say, laughing and taking the skateboard.

He sighs, then smiles shyly at me. "Jess, there's been something I've wanted to ask you for years."

"Yeah?" He's acted like he wanted to ask me something since Nebleon's invasion. I can't believe I didn't figure it out until now. I look around at everything. Look at what I've got. A family, good friends, a whole cake calling my name...I couldn't ask for more than this. I smile. I couldn't be any happier than I am right now.

Yay, a happy ending for Jess! Was anyone disappointed by how slowly it ended? Or perhaps you were anticipating a giant epic battle scene instead of an escape plan? Too much fluff or not enough? (Heh, that rhymes.) What should I write next? What genres do you want to see me take on? I thank you all for supporting me when I wrote this story. I know I loved writing it. I still can't believe it's over! I'll post something else, because I love to write! I'd love suggestions (as long as they're appropriate, ya know), and I guess I'll see you guys later! Hugs and cupcakes to everyone! SPLEEEEEEE!
