A/N: Sorry I didn't post this earlier. The site didn't work. But thanks for your reviews! Nameless Reviewer, I did watch all the videos and liked the one where Megatron fell off. L.A.M.B-3, you mentioned Albert's mother. All I'll say that she will make an appearance (gasp!). Pointless One, she could have aimed it at Richard, but he wouldn't have died. Remember he's immortal. The wall would have squashed him and he wouldn't be able to get out. Qille, the dagger will be mentioned again and as for Denis… oh you'll find out soon…

As everyone was running out of the tunnels, the walls crumbled behind them. After that wall had fallen on Richard, some of the walls around were beginning to crumble down too. Those were the walls that weren't sprayed with the Spray-On Shoe substance. The sprayed ones stayed to keep the rest of the tunnels stable.

But the roof was crumbling and if they didn't make it out quick enough, it would crush them all. It was like a slow motion scene in a movie. Flint was leading everyone out. He held Sam's hand and the two ran ahead of everyone else. After them ran Brent and the henchmen. Lastly, Albert and Angelica ran.

The entrance still hadn't crumbled, but small stones were falling from the roof. Tripping over the stone steps, they ran on. They very second Angelica made it through the door, the entrance closed in as the tunnel wall behind them caved in.

"Don't stop! Keep running!" Flint cried and pulled Sam after him. She nodded and lifted up one hand to hold her glasses as she ran.

"FLINT! WATCH OUT!" Sam cried out.

A piece of the roof was now slipping from the cracks and was right over Flint's head. He gasped and Sam screamed. She pulled him away, but he stood frozen in terror. Then Albert lunged forward and shoved Flint out of the way. The rocks immediately smashed to the ground where Fling previously stood. Albert got up from where he sat next to Flint on the steps.

No one said anything. Then Flint got up.

"Thank you." He helped Albert to his feet. That was the first time that Albert Shelbourne had tried to save Flint's life. It had always been: kill Flint, get Flint, let Flint die.

"No problem." Albert nodded and dusted himself.

"COME ON! The rest of the roof will fall!" Angelica snatched Albert's hand and led him after her. Flint grabbed Sam's hand, made sure Brent and the henchmen were okay and then followed.

Fresh night air smacked them in the faces as they made it to the surface. Behind them they heard a loud crashing noise of stone crumbling. That's it. The tunnels were gone and Richard was gone too. No one could really believe it.

Smiling, they began to walk down the territory. No one wanted to say anything. There was finally true peace. There was no more Evil Injection Liquid left, no more Leagues, no more dark blue trench coats and no more getting tied up and being locked up in some cell. It was like everyone had suddenly taken a deep breath of relief.

Flint put his arm around Sam's waist. She put hers around his. Both were never happier. As they walked, Flint thought about how now he could go back to his inventions and spending more time with Fran and Steve. Sam was glad she didn't have to worry about Flint lying dead somewhere. Maybe she, Flint and Fran could all take a break and go on a trip somewhere. But that was for another day.

Angelica didn't hold Albert's hand. She just walked beside him, with her hands wrapped around herself. Yes, she was glad Richard was gone and so was the League of TUIP. Yes, she was a glad that the Lockdown Map was gone and so was the Evil Injection Liquid. Yes, she still wondered about the mysterious dagger. But she was still worrying about Denis too.

"Are you okay, Ange?" Albert asked her.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." She smiled weakly and looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Well, I hope you are. I mean you look a bit pale and you have that hollow look in your eyes." Albert replied quietly.

She didn't say anything. Instead, she pinched her cheeks to make them not so pale and blinked a couple of times.

They all saw the police cruiser up ahead. There was no Earl, but the stupid security camera still stood there. The camera was swiveling around, as if it detected someone coming. The streetlamps flickered in the distance and sent a dim yellow glow to the direction, from which everyone was coming from. Angelica looked up to see a person walking off Main Street and toward the police cruiser. She squinted her eyes.

"Is that Earl?" Jag asked.

"No, I don't think so." Flint shook his head.

The area around the police cruiser didn't have any of the streetlamp's light, so it was hard to see the person's face. But they could see a billowing white T-shirt and shorts.

As they came closer, Angelica's heart was beating louder and louder. Oh my god. It can't be. She thought. Then they all stopped walking. The person didn't move. But from where it stood, they could make out that it was a guy.

"Is that—?" Flint gasped.

"DENIS!" Angelica shrieked and her whole face lit up that very moment.

She began to run toward him with a huge smile on her face. He saw her running and his pale face broke out into a smile too. He outstretched his arms and she ran right into them. When she hugged him, he hugged her tightly and she buried her face into his shoulder. Tears of joy escaped her eyes and streamed onto his shirt.

"You didn't die. You came back. Oh my god, Denis." Angelica cried and he smiled.

"The doctors said my heart stopped and they had saved me just in time. I am happy to be back too." He closed his eyes.

Then he noticed that she looked younger. Her hair was richer and thicker and there was something different about her. When he let go of her and looked into her face, he saw that her eyes were bluer, her skin was smoother and her smile was bigger.

Before he could say anything, he heard someone clear their throat. Turning around, he saw Flint, Sam, Brent, Jag, Reg and Albert all standing there. Albert looked younger too. Was he zapped too? Denis looked at him. Then he realized that it was Albert; who had cleared his throat.

"Oh! Sorry." Denis stepped away from Angelica and grinned.

"How did you live?" Jag blurted out with wide eyes. No one else really believed that it was Denis; who was standing right there.

"How about we go home, get some rest and then Denis can tell us everything in the morning? I'm sure he's tired and it's almost one in the morning." Angelica then spoke up.

"Yeah, I am tired, guys." Denis smiled at Angelica and then yawned.

This was what had happened. First, Flint and Sam went to Tim's house to bring a sleeping Fran home. Then Angelica, Albert and Denis came with them, while Reg, Jag and Brent went to the house that Angelica, Denis, Jag, Reg and Esto all shared.

Speaking of Esto, they had found him at home—fast asleep. He was probably too tired to deal with anything. But everyone laughed when they realized that his 'hiding spot' was right at home. Angelica made sure that Reg, Jag and Brent all went to sleep, so they wouldn't wake Esto. When she made sure that Jag wasn't hiding chips under his pillow, or that Reg didn't fall asleep with the TV remote, she left the house and made her way to Flint and Sam's.

There, Denis was fast asleep on the couch. Flint told her that she and Albert could have the guest bedroom. Before Angelica went upstairs, she came up to sleeping Denis. He slept on his left side. It was probably because the right side of his face was covered in stitches. It was only from the area between his right eye and ear, down to the spot just above the right side of his chin that was stitched.

"Good night." She whispered and shut the lights off in the living room, before she walked into the hallway, past the kitchen and up the stairs.

Upstairs she slipped into bed and fell asleep. Albert was already fast asleep…

Now the clock struck 3 in the morning. Angelica woke up, because she just couldn't sleep. The room felt stuffy, and she wondered if Flint had turned the air conditioner off for the night. But she couldn't take it anymore. Sighing, she kicked off the blanket and got up from bed. Then she look down at her plaid pj pants and white tank top. Now her shoulders felt cold.

She slipped off the bed and crept out into the hallway. With every step she took, the floor creaked. Wincing, she knew what a light sleeper Albert was. What would he say if he saw her creeping out? What would she say?

Biting her lip, she went down the stairs and slipped into the kitchen. There she flicked the lights switch. Her eyes widened when she saw who was in the kitchen. Flint was in mid-kiss with Sam. Both of them turned to look at her and then broke apart.

"Hi guys! Don't mind me!" Angelica apologized and walked past them.

"What's going on, here?" Denis stumbled into the kitchen.

Flint and Sam looked at each other and then at Angelica and Denis.

"Nothing. I'm getting a drink of water and these two are having a make out session." Angelica smiled and winked at Flint and Sam.

"I'd make out upstairs. Too many people come down to the kitchen." Denis grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. Then he looked at Angelica.

"Shut up, Denis!" Angelica sprayed him with water from the sink faucet. He just laughed. Flint and Sam looked at each other.

"I think they like each other." Flint whispered in Sam's ear.

"I agree on that one. C'mon." Sam grabbed Flint's hand and dragged him out into the hallway.

"Where are we going?" Flint asked.
"You heard Denis." Sam smiled at him and kissed him quickly on the lips.

Flint smiled and the two went upstairs. Before Flint followed her, he smiled to himself and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Angelica finished drinking her water and dropped her glass into the sink. Denis stood by the table, watching her. As she passed him, he stopped her.

"Follow me." He whispered.

She blinked at him and watched him step out of the kitchen and down the hallway to the front door. At the door he opened the coat closet and pulled out a pair jean. He didn't know whose they were, but they fit him. Denis slipping into those and then grabbed his hoodie and handed it to Angelica. She slipped into it and then put on her boots.

They stepped out the door and neither of them said anything to one another. Angelica just followed Denis down the street, until they reached Main Street. He led her down Main Street and even past City Hall. It was toward the high school he led her. To the football field.

Once they came there, they stood in the sidelines. Angelica looked up at the sky. It was filled with dark colors such as dark blues, and blacks. Over this dark blue blanket there was a scatter of silver glitter. The glitter was the bright stars that lit up the dark blue mass.

The breeze had picked up and blew at Angelica's long wavy brown hair and ran through Denis' gold colored hair. It was a gentle breeze. Not too strong and not cold either. It was a nice warm breeze.

Stretching, Denis raised his hand and falsely yawning dropped his hand around Angelica's shoulders.

"Denis Loquesto, don't tell me you're gonna pull that move on me." Angelica narrowed her piercing blue eyes and glanced sideways at Denis. He grinned mischievously and tapped his fingers on her shoulder.

"Hmmmm... I don't know... Maybe I am." Denis wiggled his eyebrows at her and she smirked.

"Well if you really are going to pull that move, you need my permission." Angelica looked at him.

She wondered what Albert would think. It was time she told Denis that they couldn't be together. That they just had to stay friends. It was going to be hard for him, but she knew that if she didn't say anything now, then Albert would come after Denis.

Denis was nervous too. He wanted to just do this now. Just this once. He'd explain later. Now all he wanted was… Albert isn't here. He won't know. It was now or never. Denis took Angelica's hand and twirled her around to face him. She gasped in surprise and when she was facing him, he placed his other hand on the small of her back and pulled her close.

A soft smile slowly came to Denis' face as he looked into Angelica's eyes. She didn't say anything, just blushed. The moonlight from the full moon shone down and touched his face. He kept looking down at her with his smile and Angelica blushed deeper. She was scared to say anything, afraid that the moment would be spoiled. It's just this once. She told herself. She had to get over this. Except just when she leaned in, Denis leaned in too and their lips met much faster than both of them expected.

Denis wrapped his arms tighter around her and held her protectively. She placed her hands around his neck and he kissed her deeper. Slowly, they broke apart and Denis pressed his forehead against hers. Her breath was coming out slow and his was faster.

Trembling, he couldn't really believe what he had done.

"I-I… I know that you must be with Albert. I know that I will probably never get to love you, but please promise me this. That we will stay good friends." Denis let go off her and stepped back.

She looked down on the ground and gulped.

"I promise." She nodded and looked up at him.

"I will always love you, Ange. Know that. But you need to be with Albert. It's the right thing. Maybe someday if you and Albert break apart or something… Just remember that I'll always be there. But right now let's just stay friends." He whispered.

"Okay." She nodded.
