OddAuthor: I'm glad you liked it, thank you for reviewing. The President is a bit of a git, isn't he?
unknown20troper: The last two chapters were pretty bittersweet to write. Indded, Norm and Jazz have a bit of an adventure ahead.
Epilogue: The End of the Beginning
Rain fell over the small hamlet of Saltsburg, a town known only for a small engagement in the Civil War and a mild protest in the 1980s. The local police station was understaffed, with just two men on station at any time.
They were easily convinced that the former Director of M.E.R.F. could be released from their custody, rather then moved to a jail in New Mexico as had been ordered by a Colonel Atkinson.
Ghost tattoos, Freakshow had found, were very convincing.
"I don't get it," murmured the Director, as Freakshow's Circus Train made its way west, "Why do you me out of jail. You killed two of my agents for…"
"I have my reasons," replied Freakshow, "My reasons being in the interests of both of us."
The Director raised a frazzled eyebrow.
"Tell me, Director," Freakshow continued, pacing around the cab, "What did you do four months ago?"
"What?"
"Four months ago, in March – Friday the Thirteenth, to be exact."
The Director grinned.
"I think I'm getting where you're going with this."
Timmy had more allies then he could ever have known at this point, and it was beyond those who knew him in Dimmsdale and Amity Park.
Beyond the space between universes, someone else watched, viewing Timmy's predicament through a home-made satellite.
This person had met Timmy three times. He had gotten to know the boy's quirks, his qualities and flaws. Now he was preparing to help his friend in any way possible.
After all, Timmy had saved his dog.
It was time for Jimmy to return that favour.
This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the End of the Beginning.
- Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister.
I am hoping I did not turn anyone away with the ending. I had been considering Jimmy since I decided to make a second fic, given that he is one ally of Timmy's I wouldn't think many people would see coming.
Well, it looks like I've finally finished (at least until the next part, anyway!). I'm considering putting the next part in the Cartoon X-Overs section (I might not, mind you - it might get swept to the back with everything being put up there), but any thoughts on the sequel and what to do with it (be it plot or otherwise) are welcome.
I would like to extend my heartiest thanks to everyone who was read and reviewed this story since I started writing this. A special shoutout goes to my reviewers in particular - you guys are the best. If I may mention a few people I am particular grateful to, I'd like to thank unknown20troper, OddAuthor and Tweenisode Orange for reading from the very start and always being considerate and helpful (not that any of you weren't :)), and GodOfStorms for offering a bunker (and having an awesome username).
That's all from me for now, I'll have the next story up in a week or so, and once again, my thanks. Now if you don't mind, I do believe it's time to party.
Yours,
E350.
