Note: Good evening, everybody. As you know, my name is Dequincyx, and i'm the writer of the 5-part 103/104 Dalmatians series. I would like to welcome you to the 107th/622nd chapter and the last chapter of the 103/104 Dalmatians series. It has been an amazing 3-year journey for me and this wonderful series between 2016 and now. And i've had many favorites, follows and reviews from so many other people over the years. And Ghost Reader had been fortunate enough to be apart of this series for all those years from start to finish.
This day is such a special day, and i'm so blessed to have so many viewers to this series. Thank you all so very much, thank you. Without you, your care, your love, your devotion, i don't think i would've finished this series. Because there were times when i would lose interest in writing it. But i didn't quite. I set out to do this series and i stuck with it. I really appreciate each and everyone of you. Especially you, Ghost Reader. And with that, i have reached the moment that i have to tell you that i now wish that you all enjoy for the last time 103 and 104 Dalmatians.

103/104 107: GOODBYE.
Three Years Later
Paris, Texas
August 31st, (2027)
On the morning of August 31st, (2027), at the Miller residence, 18-year old Jason Miller was up stairs in his bedroom, packing up the things he would be taking with him to college in a big, black, rolling suitcase. His brown hair was still long and went down to his neck. He no longer had braces on his teeth, as he had them removed later on in (2024). He wore a blue and white plaid short sleeve un-buttoned shirt, with a white, sleeveless undershirt, blue pants and black and white sneakers with white laces and black and white trims. He then walked over to his High School granduation photo that was framed and hanging on the wall. He took it off the nail it was hanging on and looked at it.
In the photo, Jason's graduation cap and gown were blue and he was grinning while holding his rolled up deploma, and his ribbon sash was white, with the words 'CLASS OF 2027' written on it in blue. He had graduated from Paris, Texas High School at 17 years old.
A smile spread across 18-year old Jason's face as he looked at the graduation photo of his then 17-year old self.
After the ordeal at the North Pole three years ago, his Mom and Dad had decided to move back to Paris, Texas since the 104 Dalmatians nightmare was finally over and Cruella and the other villains-minus Stacy and the Dark 13-were all locked away for good.
"Jason, breakfast!" Came the voice of Gigi from down stairs.
"Coming!" Shouted Jason with his little boy/mature mixed voice. The 18-year old boy then placed his framed graduation photo back on the nail that was on the wall and he exited his bedroom.
...
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, 36-year old Gigi and 37-year old Rex were sitting at the table, having breakfast, with Molly lying on the floor at Gigi's side.
Gigi's once wheat brown hair was now long, curly and black, with the front of it going past her shoulders and the back of it going down to her upper-back.
Rex's hair, meanwhile, was still brown.
"Okay, you guys...this is Jason's last breakfast before he leaves for college. So i want everyone to treat it just like it's another day, okay?" Said Gigi.
"You're doing great, Miller." Said Rex.
"Thank you." Said Gigi.
"Okay..." Said Jason as he entered inside the kitchen and went over to the table. "i'm all packed."
"Oh, here i go." Said Rex before placing his hands over his face as he began to cry.
"Ah, Rex, you're such a...big softy." Said Gigi.
Jason looked at Gigi.
"Don't look at me, i'm good." Said Gigi. "(Crying) Drat." She said as she started crying. "I'm gonna miss you, Jason."
"Oh, i'm gonna miss you too, Mom. I'm gonna miss all you guys." Said Jason.
Molly then stood up and went over to Jason, where she stood up on her hind legs and hugged him and he hugged her back.
"I love you, Molly." Said Jason as he and Molly hugged each other.
Gigi and Rex then got up from the table and embraced Jason and Molly with a hug.
(Scene fades)
Later, Gigi, Rex and Jason were sitting at the table, having finished eating breakfast, with Molly lying at Gigi's side.
"Aaah. I'm stuffed." Said Jason while and Rex sat back in their chairs at the table.
"Me too. Woo! Miller...that was the best breakfast i ever had. You're a great cook." Said Rex.
"Thanks, that means a lot. But, uh...it's actually Bryson now...since we're finally official." Said Gigi.
"I don't get to call you Miller anymore?" Rex asked.
"You can call me whatever you want. I'm just so happy we're finally married." Said Gigi.
"I just can't believe we're even here...living together...and that we're married." Said Rex.
"And i'm not going anywhere." Gigi assured.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Said Jason before getting up from the table and exiting out of the kitchen.
"I wonder who that could be." Rex asked.
"Beats me." Said Gigi.
...
Jason walked up to the door and saw a white envelope lying on the floor and he picked it up and looked at it. The word 'URGENT' was stamped in red on the envelope. Jason then headed back for the kitchen.
...
Jason walked into the kitchen. "Hey." He said as he walked up to the kitchen table.
"Hey. So did you get the mail?" Said Gigi.
"Yeah. And there's this...letter for you. I don't get it. Something really weird's going on." Said Jason.
"Let me take a look at that." Said Gigi.
Jason handed Gigi the envelope and she opened it and got out the letter and unfolded it and looked at it. "Oh, my gosh." She said as she stood up, dropping the envelope to the floor.
"What, what does it say?" Rex asked,
"We recieved your (2009) letter to us this year and are pleased to offer you admition to the University Of California college in Los Angeles. Our second semester begins this year on September 1st, so we would require you to answer immediately. Given the quality of your work you've submitted, we are prepared to offer you a full scollership, and a 103 and 104 million dollar check to cover your living expences while inrolled." Said Gigi before looking at Rex, Jason and Molly. "Do you even know what this means?"
"Somebody up there likes you?" Rex asked.
"The University Of Los Angeles?" Jason questioned.
"The University Of California. It's like one of the best colleges in Los Angeles." Said Gigi.
"No. No, i believe you, that's just not my area of experise." Said Jason.
"Trust me, it's amazing." Said Gigi.
"Well, it'd have to be if they want you." Said Jason.
"But...i didn't even apply. I mean, i wrote a letter to UC in (2009), but i never sent it because i later found out i was pregnant with you at the time." Said Gigi.
"Well, maybe it's like one of those genius awards where they come looking for you." Said Jason.
"But...they're talking about my (2009) letter. They said i submitted it to them this year." Said Gigi.
Rex then stood up from the table.
Gigi looked at Rex. "Bryson?"
Rex grinned and he and Gigi shared a laugh together before embracing each other with a hug.
"I don't get it." Said Jason.
"This is all thanks to your Dad. He sent in the (2009) letter." Said Gigi while hugging Rex, who was hugging her back.
Rex and Gigi ended the hug.
"Care to explain?" Gigi asked.
"Right. So, uh...when Jason graduated High School this year in the month of May...i decided to find a college for you...so that you could get the degree you should've gotten years ago." Rex explained.
"You knew about the UC college in Los Angeles?" Gigi asked.
"Gigi, you only talked about it everday since we were 10 and 11." Said Rex.
"Yeah, but i never thought i'd actually get to go, let alone that they'd accept me." Said Gigi.
"And i told you to go for it. I told you to apply, remember?" Said Rex.
"But they only accept like 2% of the people who apply." Said Gigi.
"You know, even if they took the top 1%, it would still be you, because that's how good you are." Said Rex.
"Okay, i know you guys think i'm great." Said Gigi.
"You are great." Said Rex.
"But...for this college to take me in...it's like...the best for what i wanna do." Said Gigi.
"Yeah, and you got in...because of your work." Said Jason.
"I know we're just your family, okay, but...colleges...a lot of people need them, and not just High School graduates. We need 'em." Said Rex.
"Everybody neeeds 'em." Said Jason.
"But...Rex, you did this to make up for me missing college because i was pregnant. And the situation turned out to be not so bad. Jason graduated High School, he's going off to college, you and i are married finally, and it's actually...pretty good. I'm really happy." Gigi said.
"Mom's right. I mean, the Dalmatians nightmare is over, Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive are safe with their new families, Cruella and the other villains are locked up, Stacy and the Dark 13 are dead. There's no reason to leave Texas anymore." Jason added.
"I don't know about that." Said Rex.
"Uh, what are we talking about? Paris, Texas is your home." Said Jason.
"Yes, i know. And...we love it here, but this is a great oppertunity for the two of you to start over someplace new. I mean, i have both a son and a wife who are going off to college. How often does that happen?" Said Rex.
"Not very. Thanks to you, this is a dream come true. Right, Jason?" Said Gigi.
"Well, yeah, obviously. But...as i said before...Mom's right. This is home. And...now that i'm back...i don't wanna leave you. I don't wanna say goodbye." Said Jason.
"It's not goodbye, it's just...so long for the time being." Said Gigi.
"Excuse me, but will someone explain how this is gonna work? 'Cause I'm gonna be in Canada, Mom's gonna be in L.A., and you and Molly are gonna be here in Texas. That's one lonely life, Dad...and Molly." Said Jason.
"Okay. Jason...when i took off for Vegas in (2009) after graduating High School...i told myself...that it was for the best and that your Mom was better off without me and that she was find some else. Someone who was a lot better than i was at the time. But the truth is, i...i was just running away from how i truly felt about her. So who knows? Maybe it was good that i was gone all that time. Maybe it was good that the Stacy/Dalmatians/Dark 13 fiascos happened. Maybe it was even good that you were gone all this time. Because me, your Mom, and you...all grew up. We stood up for ourselves. We've become a strong, competent family now. And i'm so proud of us." Said Rex.
"I know, but...like i said...i don't wanna leave you." Said Jason.
"And i don't wanna leave you. But your father is right. This is a dream come true. Going to this college in Canada would be so awesome for you. Just as going to this college in Los Angeles would be awesome for me. So i think your father and i...well, i think we're just gonna have to sell the house and move someplace else. Like Michigan." Said Gigi.
"Kalamazoo, Michigan?! Seriously?!" Jason asked with excitement.
"Definitely." Said Rex.
"Good luck with that, you guys. It can take days, weeks, months or even years to sell a house." Said Jason.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that, Jase. 'Cause i got a phone-call four days ago and...WE HAVE A BUYER!" Said Gigi.
"Really, who?" Jason asked.
"Our Cousin, Maxie Newman, who lives here in an apartment in New York. There's only one catch though, we have to be out by the end of today." Said Gigi.
"Why so soon?" Jason asked.
"She said she was anxious to finally be moving into a house." Said Gigi.
"Understandable. Well, that's not a problem. We've already called the movers and they're coming buy today with a U-Haul truck to help us move. We'll be out of here before the day's over, just like she wants." Said Rex.
"Well...i guess this is goodbye to our old home." Said Jason.
"I guess so." Said Rex.
"And so long to each other...at least for now anyway." Said Jason.
Molly then got up and stood on her hind legs and hugged Jason again, who hugged her back, followed by Gigi and Rex hugging him and the Dalmatian.
The doorbell then rang again, making the family end the hug, with Molly getting back on all fours.
"Wonder who that could be." Gigi said.
"Not sure. Let's go see." Said Rex before he, Gigi, Jason and Molly ran out of the kitchen.
...
Rex, Gigi, Jason and Molly walked up to the door and Gigi opened it, revealing Sherleen, Henry, Roxy, Bo, Nora, Beethoven, and 16-year old Matthew, with long black hair that went down to his neck.
"SUPRISE!" Shouted Sherleen, Henry, Roxy, Bo, Nora and Matthew in unison.
"Hey. Did you guys come to see Jason off?" Gigi asked.
"Actually, we came to say...goodbye. Your Mom and i are leaving Texas." Said Henry.
"So are we." Said Nora, refering to her, Beethoven, Matthew and Bo.
"So are we." Said Roxy.
"Speaking of goobye...Gigi and i have something to tell you. All of you." Said Rex.
(Scene fades)
Sherleen, Henry, Roxy, Bo, Nora, Beethoven and Matthew were now in the livingroom where Rex and Gigi had explained to them about selling the house, moving to Kalamazoo, Michigan and Gigi going off to college in L.A.
"What? You're moving to Michigan?" Bo asked.
"And you're going to college too?" Nora asked Gigi.
"That's right." Rex and Gigi andswered.
"You're leaving today?" Sherleen asked.
"We know it's last minute." Said Gigi.
"We have a tun of stuff to do, there's not enough time to do it, we have to find a place to live in Michigan." Said Rex.
"No, you don't, there's plenty of room here in Paris, Texas. There's tons of homes here that are up for sale. Your mother in-law and i will help you, Gigi and Molly move into one." Said Henry.
"And so will we, Nora and Matthew." Said Bo.
"And so will i." Said Roxy.
"That's very generous, you guys, thank you. But Gigi and i have made up our minds and...we've decided that moving away from Texas is what's best. Well, that and...the U-Haul truck will be here within the hour." Said Rex.
The whole gang then shared a laugh, except for Molly and Bethoveen.
"Well, we better turn on the T.V. if we're gonna catch the last interview with Lois and Gigi on Disney Channel." Said Rex.
"I can't believe this is goodbye." Said Sherleen.
"No, it's not, it's see ya soon." Said Gigi.
"Oh, honey, i will see you very, very soon." Said Sherleen as she and Gigi embraced each other with a hug. She and Gigi then ended the hug.
"Jason...i need you to do me a big favor." Said Henry.
"Sure, what is it?" Jason asked.
"When you and your Mom come home for the summer and for the holidays...keep your eye on your Dad, okay? He's big trouble." Said Henry.
"Yeah, no kidding." Said Jason.
"Rex...you okay for money?" Henry asked.
"Thanks, we're good." Said Rex.
"Rex...would it be strange if we hugged?" Henry asked.
"A little...but we can do it anyway." Said Rex.
With that, Henry and Rex embraced each other with a hug, and everyone smiled at the heartwarming, touching scene, knowing that Henry-the man who absolutely dispised Rex from a little boy-had now accepted him not only as Gigi's friend...but his son.
(Scene fades)
Rex, Gigi, Jason and the other humans were now all sitting on the livingroom sofa while Molly and Beethoven were lying on the floor, watching the interview of Lois and Gigi on Disney Channel with Gale Winters.
/
On the T.V. screen, Lois, Gigi and Gale were sitting on a sofa, chatting with each other.
"We are hours from the premiere of the 103 and 104 Dalmatians movie on Disney Channel. If you didn't see it in theaters last year, here's your chance to catch it here on DC or buy it on Blue-Ray or DVD. As we close, i turn to comments from author and co-author of the (2024) novel, Lois Frankson and Gigi Bryson, who both started the 103/104 Dalmatians novel series in separate books. Let's hear what they have to say." Said Gale.
"I actually started the 103/104 Dalmatians book series nearly 10 years ago when i wrote the first book in Mexico in (2017). I didn't publish it until my friends and i got back to UK London, England from Mexico after the 103 Dalmatians ordeal three months earlier, but it wasn't published world-wide until (2021). It was actually my husband, Clark-he wasn't my husband then, but he is now-who suggested that i write a book about what happened. And thus, 103 Dalmatians was written." Said Lois.
"Yeah, and i wrote the first three 104 Dalmatians books myself. And then at Disney World, on July 4th of (2024)-twelve days after the ordeal at the North Pole-i asked Lois if she was gonna write about what happened and she said yes. Then she asked me if i was, I said no at first...but then i said maybe i would. That was when my Mom suggested that we write the book the book together. I said it was a brilliant idea. I could be the author and Lois could be the co-author. We both agreed on it and thus, 103 and 104 Dalmatians was written." Said Gigi.
"And with that being said, i have to ask-'cause you guys haven't written a book in over three years-is this your last book, period, or just your last book to the 103/104 Dalmatians series?" Said Gale.
"Well, as you know, Gigi and i wrote and published the 103 and 104 Dalmatians novel in (2024), which was nearly three years ago, but...we still to this day get stopped on the street by 103/104 Dalmatians fans who remember the characters in our books. And some ask how we're doing and will either of us ever do another Dalmatians novel. But i must tell you that there are times i get so caught up in reading the books, that i find myself wondering the same thing." Said Lois.
"Yeah, me too. I mean...the fans are so loyal...so passionate, so invested in the stories. I always ask myself how they started watching Disney movies/T.V. shows. And i guess they started out the way we all did: As children. Many of them inherited the movies from their parents or their grandparents, who were long time fans themselves. I remember the first time i tuned into a Disney movie. I was hooked instantly. I needed to know what would happen Next to these fasinating people or animals. Would the hero and the heroin end up together in the end? Would the villains get their just desserts...or would their crimes go unpunished? Would loving families overcome their opsticals...or...would their troubles prove too dificult to surpass? Ultimately, that's what Disney movies/T.V. shows are all about: Families. Close families...rival families...even families that are...un-expected. Or the ones we choose for ourselves. And when a show or movie franchise is lucky enough to be on-going as long as the Dalmatians movies have...these families become extentions of our own. The audience might be upset when a Disney show or film franchise ends...but they're always willing to welcome a new one. Even when that new show or movie franchise is quite different from the one being replaced. Because for every new face...every new couple...every new family...there are long familiar faces. Some who have grown up before our very eyes. And a few more...we hope to watch grow up. We know them so well, they've become our friends. We yearn for their happiness, especially when it's a hard one. We laugh as they laugh...cry as they cry...and we can't imagine doing without them. And when things are at their very worst in the movies or on the shows...that's when we seem to enjoy them the most. There's just one thing we have to do to keep them in our lives: Stay tuned in." Said Gigi.
/
Later, the gang was now watching the ending of the interview with Lois and Gigi.
"That is one powerful interview." Said Bo.
/
"There ya have it! The final interview with authors Lois Frankson and Gigi Bryson! Who's books have been slambing full of tears, laughter, suspence, romance...and of course, true to form, an over the top splinded series." Said Gale.
/
"I'll say, that was a powerful interview." Said Roxy as she stood up from the sofa with the remote in her hand. She then turned off the T.V. with the remote. "Lois and Gigi are retiring?!" She gasped.
"How did we not know?" Henry asked as he stood up while Roxy placed the remote on the coffee table.
"Okay, so the interview we just watched was actually the final interview and Lois and Gigi suprised everyone with it by saying that they're retiring as authors to spend more time with their families." Said Roxy.
"That's the most rediculous thing i've ever heard." Said Rex as he stood up from the sofa.
"I thought it was so brilliant!" Said Roxy as Gigi stood up from the sofa along with Jason.
"I said it was rediculous, i didn't say it was bad." Said Rex.
"No, it was brilliant, brilliant-You liked it?" Roxy said.
"Yeah, i liked how Lois and Gigi sacrificed their careers as authors to spend more time with their families." Said Rex.
"Rex and Clark accepted me and Lois's decision because they knew we had been the best friends, fiances, and wives we could be." Said Gigi.
"It didn't matter that they had given up their careers as authors." Jason added.
"Clark and i will always love Lois and Gigi, no matter what kind of decisions they make or don't make." Said Rex.
"Why are you all ganging up on me?" Roxy asked.
"Oh, because i'm a De ViL and i play dirty to get what i want." Rex joked. "But before we all head off to start our new lives...i would like to have your blessing. So can i have it, please?"
"(Crying) Oh, Rex...of course i'll give you my blessing." Said Roxy tears filled her eyes.
"Thanks, grandma." Said Jason.
"Thank you, Mom." Said Rex.
Jason and Roxy then embraced each other with a hug as tears ran down her face.
"(Sniffs) How can i stand in the way of you doing right by my grandson?" Said Roxy as she and Jason ended the hug.
The gang then heard the door open and close and in rushed Dr. Emily Falon, with her blond hair going down to her lower-back. "Did you convince 'em to stay?"
"I could've sworn i locked that door." Said Gigi.
"You did. I took the liberty of making my own key." Said Emily. "So what's the verdict, Roxy?"
"Rex made me see the light. Turns out he knows what's best for this family." Said Roxy before wiping the tears away from her face.
A saddened Emily walked up to Rex, Gigi and Jason. "What am i gonna do without you guys?"
"Same as you always do: Shrink more people and take notes." Rex joked. "The big question is what are we gonna do without you? I am gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss all of you...so much."
"We're gonna miss you guys too, Rex." Said Charlie, who stood at the doorless doorway of the livingroom with his wife, Viki. The couple then walked over to where Rex, Gigi and Jason were.
"Well, way to upstage my exit. Showing up out of the blue...suprising me...dropping by without calling me to let us know you're on your way over. You know, you are getting too old for suprises...uncle Charlie." Said Rex.
"And you had better be careful...son." Said Charlie.
"Okay. Well, i'll be careful in Michigan." Said Rex.
"You know, Paris, Texas is gonna be...worse off without the Brysons. And i am too. 'Cause you are a good man, Rex. And i'm pround to call you my friend. And i want you to take real good care of yourself...and your , Rex?" Said Charlie before he and Rex hugged each other.
"Wait." Said Rex before he and Charlie ended the hug. "How did you know we were moving away today."
"Roxy texed me and filled us in on everything. Including the fact that she, Sherleen, Henry, Bo, Nora, Matthew and Beethoven were all leaving Texas." Said Charlie.
"That being said, we decided to head over here and say goodbye to you all before we leave." Said Viki.
"Leave? Where are you going?" Gigi asked.
"Well, Viki and i have been talking these last few months and...we've decided that after everything that's happened here...we're gonna move too." Said Charlie.
"Move? Where to?" Gigi asked.
"Wyoming. We've decided to move there to be near my daughters, Jessica and Natalie and my two son in-laws and grandsons. The time is right and they need me." Said Viki.
"Awww. That's so sweet. So where are all the rest of you moving away to?" Gigi said.
"Florida." Said Nora.
"Oregon." Said Roxy.
"Arizona." Said Sherleen.
"Speaking of moving...i have a bit of news i'd like to share myself." Emily said. "I have decided to move back to Australia to begin my career as a child therapist. I've been thinking a lot about it since my first session with Tommy three years ago and...i think that working with kids is my calling."
"Well, what do ya know? Looks like we're all moving on. I mean, with the 103 and 104 Dalmatians nightmare behind us and Cruella and the other villains in prison for life, there's no reason for any of us to live in fear anymore." Said Gigi.
"Yeah. Now we're all safe." Added Jason.
"Safe." Said Rex.
"Safe." Said Henry.
"Safe." Said Bo.
"SAFE!" The rest of the gang shouted.
A loud honk then came from outside the house.
"That must be the U-Haul. Come on. Let's help the movers give all this stuff loaded onto the truck so we can get out of here." Said Rex.
"Want us to help you, Bryson?" Bo asked.
"Oh, no, i couldn't ask you to do that. Besides, you all have your own packing and moving to do." Said Rex.
"Oh, don't worry about that, that's what we have movers for. Besides, you and your family come first." Said Bo. "Right?" He said as he looked at Nora and Matthew.
"Right." Matthew said.
"That's right. But, uh...i'll call the movers and let them know that we'll be helping you guys move and that they can get started without us." Nora added.
"Same here." Said Sherleen, Henry, Emily and Roxy.
"Well, in that case...let's get to work." Said Rex before the rest of the gang, including Molly and Beethoven, got up and scattered with the rest of the group to start packing things up while he went to let the movers in.
103
DALMATIANS
Four Hours Later...
Rex, Gigi, Jason and Molly now stood in an empty livingroom as the movers carried the last of the livingroom's items out of the house in boxes to load onto the U-Haul's trailer with the furniture and the rest of the boxed-up items.
"(Sighs) Wow...it's so empty." Said Gigi.
"It's kind of creepy." Jason added.
"Uh, maybe you two should take another look around before the bus comes." Said Rex.
"Alright." Said Gigi and Jason before they headed up the stairs.
Rex and Molly, meanwhile, looked around at the now empty livingroom, knowing that this would be the last time they'd see it.
/
"Did you say goodbye to your Grandparents?" Gigi asked as she and Jason entered inside his bedroom.
"Mom, we've said goodbye like ten times." Said Jason.
Gigi and Jason looked at the empty bedroom filled with all of his boxed-up items. His bed and the rest of his furniture had been carried out of the house by the movers and loaded onto the U-Haul's trailer. The only thing that hadn't been boxed-up was his luggage.
"Oh...Jason." Said Gigi as she looked at empty room. "Oh."
"Mom..." Said Jason as he placed a hand on Gigi's shoulder. "It's okay."
"I know. It's just..." Gigi began before turning to face Jason. "I wish i could always be with you." She said as she and Jason hugged each other.
"You will be, Mom." Jason assured Gigi while hugging her. While hugging his mother, Jason looked at a framed picture on the wall of his 10-year old self, Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive. Despite the fact that all four of the puppies had moved on with their new families, the 18-year old boy smiled at the memory, knowing that it was at a happy time.
"Hey, aren't you going to say goodbye to Molly?" Rex asked as Gigi and Jason ended the hug and turned to see him standing outside the doorway at the top of the stairs.
"Of course i am." Said Jason before Molly ran inside the room and up to him. He then got down on both knees and began petting the female barking Dalmatian with both hands. "Who's a good girl? Who's a good doggy?"
The movers then came into Jason's bedroom and began picking up the boxes of packed items, as well as taking the framed picture of Jason and puppies off the wall to put in one of the boxes.
Jason took notice of this. "Wait!" He said, getting the attention of the mover who was holding the framed picture. Jason then released Molly from the hug and got to his feet and walked up to the mover. "I'm taking that with me." He said before taking the framed picture from the mover.
Gigi smiled at Jason, who then walked over to his rolling suitcase and placed the framed picture inside his of it. He then put his blue camo backpack on, got his suitcase and exited the bedroom, dragging it behind him, with Gigi and Molly, followed by the movers, who were carrying out the boxes of items.
/
Rex, Gigi, Jason, Molly and the movers all came down the stairs and into the empty livingroom. Rex, Gigi, Jason and Molly stopped and looked at the empty livingroom, with Jason sitting his suitcase up, while the movers continued onward outside to load the boxes of items onto the U-Haul's trailer.
"Uh...i'm gonna leave you two alone while i go see if everything's loaded on U-Haul. Come on, Molly." Said Gigi before she and Molly exited the livingroom, heading outside to the U-Haul.
Rex and Jason, meanwhile, looked around at the now empty house.
"Lot of good times in this house, huh?" Said Rex.
"A lifetime's worth." Said Jason.
"You okay?" Rex asked.
"Yeah, yeah, no, no, i'm cool. I'm cool, Dad. You know, it's just...when i first met you seven years ago...we were strangers to each other. But for the past seven years, we've been family. You, me, Mom, Molly and the puppies. I just don't wanna go back to being just some kid you picked up off the street. I mean, i've lived without a father...and without brothers and sisters and all of that...for ten years of my life. Then Molly had the puppies in (2020), and...it was like they were my brothers and sister. Now they've moved on with their new families and i'm going off to college. I like that life and this one better. I want you to call me on sundays too when you're calling Mom and all of your relatives." Said Jason.
Rex chuckled.
"Look, um...i love you, Dad, and i just don't wanna lose you, you know, any of you." Said Jason.
"You're not gonna lose us. You are my son, Jason. End of story. You just better be sure to call once you've settled in." Said Rex.
"You got it, man." Said Jason before he and Rex embraced each other with a hug.
"The bus to the airport has arrived." Said Gigi, standing in the doorless doorway of the livingroom with her pink rolling suitcase at her side. Molly, Sherleen, Henry, Roxy, Bo, Nora, Matthew, Beethoven, Emily, Viki and Charlie were also at her side.
"Well..." Said Jason before picking up his luggage. "I guess that's my cue. I gotta go. I'll see you, Dad and Molly when the Thanksgiving holidays roll around."
"Okay. And remember, honey, you're calling me and your Dad as soon as you get settled into college." Said Gigi.
"Yeah, yeah." Said Jason.
"You're gonna love the dorm." Said Rex.
"Thanks." Said Jason.
"Come on now, the bus leaves any minute." Said Henry.
"Bye, Jason." Said Matthew as he walked up to Jason.
"Bye-bye, Matt. Hey, you remember what i told you, alright?" Said Jason.
"Never give my Dad any bad news when he's hungry." Said Matthew.
Jason looked at Bo, who seemed to be a tad afended by Matthew's words, while Nora was trying to hold in her laughter.
"No, man. I said, you know, always look out for your Mom and Dad. And that other thing." Said Jason before he and Matthew shook hands.
"Come on, Matt. We better get all our things moved into our new house in Florida before you head back to the school at sea thing tomorrow for your next semester." Said Bo.
"Oh, yeah, i can't wait! This year's semester's gonna be on board a Disney Cruise Line ship!" Said Matthew before running over to where his parents and Bethoveen were and then leaving out of the house to get in their van and head back home to help the movers finish packing up their things.
Roxy walked up to Jason. "Remember, if you decide to drop out of college...we'll have a job waiting for you in Oregon, and we'll make it worth your while."
"Mom, Jason's gonna finish college." Said Rex.
"Oh, i know." Roxy, turned to Rex before turning back to Jason. "We'll save a spot for you, just in case. Ha, ha." She and Jason then hugged each other. "Goodbye."
"I love you." Said Jason.
Roxy and Jason then ended to hug and she walked away.
Sherleen and Henry walked up to Jason. "We love you, Jason." They said before hugging him.
"I love you too, Grandma and Grandpa." Said Jason as he hugged them back.
Sherleen, Henry and Jason then ended the hug.
"Don't be acting all wild in college." Said Henry.
Jason grinned. "I won't."
"Dad, could you help me with my luggage?" Gigi asked.
Henry then walked over to where Gigi was.
"Just kidding." Said Gigi before grabbing the handle of her pink rolling suitcase, with Henry grabbing it at the same time as her.
"It would be my pleasure." Said Henry.
Gigi smiled at Henry before she, Molly and Henry headed out of the house to load her suitcase into the back seat of her station wagon.
"Goodbye, college man." Said Emily to Jason before turning to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's that, Doc?" Jason asked.
Emily then turned to face Jason and walked up to him and shook hands with him. "Bye...Jason."
"Bye-bye, Doc." Said Jason before he and Emily hugged each other. They then ended the hug.
"Wow...just look at him, Rex. He's all grown-up now." Said Roxy as she and Rex looked at Jason.
"Yeah. It seems like only yesterday i was picking him up off the street. And he was 10 years old at the time. Now look at him. He's 18 and going off to college." Said Jason.
"They grow up so fast." Said Roxy.
"Yeah, they do." Rex added. "So, uh...who's we?"
"What?" Roxy asked.
"Well ever since you got here, all you've talked about is "we", "we", "we". So who is "we"?" Said Rex.
Just then, there was a loud honk coming from outside.
"That must be him now." Said Roxy.
"Him who?" Rex asked.
"Come on, i'll show ya." Said Roxy before grabbing Rex by the hand and leading him out of the house.
Jason picked up his luggage and rushed out of the house, with the others following after him.
/
The gang rushed outside through the open door and saw white convertible car parked on the property, with a man with white hair and brown eyes standing in front of it, wearing a white suit and white shoes.
"Who is that?" Rex asked.
"The man that shoulda been your foster Daddy." Said Roxy.
"What's he doing here?" Sherleen asked.
"He is taking me on a trip for the weekend once we get settled in our new place in Oregon." Said Roxy.
"Oh, no, Mom. You are not about to move Oregon or go on a trip with some strange man you just met." Said Rex.
"(Laughs) I know the pot aint talkin' about the kettle." Said Roxy, reminding Rex about him and Stacy.
"Mom..." Rex said.
"I don't believe he's no stranger or that they just met. Haha! I believe that's been going on for a while." Said Gigi.
"Since (2009). Anyway, i just came by to say goodbye to Jason." Said Roxy.
"You still haven't told me who he is." Said Rex.
"Oh, yeah, sorry. Rex, Luke, Luke, Rex." Said Roxy before headeding over to where the man known as Luke was.
"Wait, what?" Said Rex, still confused.
"So where are we headed once we've settled down in Oregon?" Roxy asked as she walked up to Luke.
"Oh, i'm taking you to Vegas with me tonight so we can finally get hitched." Said Luke.
"Alright, baby." Said Roxy before Luke led her over to the front passenger door of his car and opened it for her. "Thank you." She said before getting inside the car. with Luke closing the door afterwards.
"Alright, ya'll have a good time!" Said Viki.
"We will." Said Roxy.
"Don't worry about her. She's gonna be okay!" Said Luke.
"Ta-ta!" Said Charlie as he and everyone else waved
"Bye, Grandma!" Said Jason as he waved.
"Bye-bye, Jase! Do great in college!" Said Roxy.
"I will!" Said Jason.
"See ya'll later on!" Said Viki.
Luke then got inside the driver's side of the white convertible car, started it up, back up, and then drove off the house property and drove off down the street to begin a new life in Oregon with Roxy.
"I suppose i better get going too before i miss my flight to Australia. I have to help the movers finish packing my stuff, ya know. See ya." Said Emily before walking over to her car, getting inside it, starting it up, backing it up, and then driving off the property, heading for the Paris, Texas airport.
"We better head back home and help the movers finish packing up our things. We'll see you guys later." Said Charlie before he and Viki got inside their car and drove off, with Viki in the passenger seat and Charlie in the driver's seat.
The bus's horn then blew loudly.
"Ah. Sounds like destiny's calling me." Said Jason.
"Sure does. Ya better get goin'." Said Rex.
"Yeah, i better." Said Jason.
Rex reached inside his right back pocket and got out a folded up envelope and unfolded it. "Here's some money from that 104 million dollar check we got from Dr. Falon four years ago." He said as he handed the envelope to Jason. "I had it stored up as a trust-fund for you so you could use it when you went away to college. There's 1000 dollars in there. Should be enough last you 'til Christmas. Don't waste it. Also, you'll be recieving more of the money from me at the beginning of each semester."
"Wow...thanks, Dad. I don't know what to say." Said Jason.
"No need to thank me. The look on your face is thanks enough." Said Rex.
Jason then placed the envelope inside his suitcase.
"Jason, are you sure about this? I...i was hoping after high school you would spend the rest of the year with us." Said Gigi.
"I know, but...the rest of the year isn't going anywhere for the next four months. I need to do this. High school is over. I did it. I graduated my senior year." Said Jason.
"So then why wait to leave after summer vacation?" Gigi asked.
"Because the next semester starts tomorrow for both regular schools and colleges. I need to get into college the first chance i get and find my own happy ending. And...it's not here. Not in this country." Said Jason.
"Then where do you think it is?" Gigi asked.
"I don't know. But...i'll find it." Said Jason.
"I still can't believe Roxy really agreed to this. Or your Dad and your Grandparents." Said Gigi.
"They realised stubbornness runs in the family." Said Jason.
Gigi then embraced Jason with a hug, who hugged her back with one arm while holding his suitcase with his other hand.
"How long will you be gone?" Gigi asked.
"As long as it takes. But don't worry, i'll come home for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and for spring-break and summer vacation." Said Jason.
Gigi and Jason then ended the hug.
"Thanksgiving?" Gigi asked.
"Thanksgiving." Said Jason.
"I don't know what i'm more worried about. You flying off to another country or driving around in your own car." Said Gigi.
"Relax. Dad tought me how." Said Jason.
"That i did." Said Rex.
"(Sighs) Jason, if going to college in another country is what you want, starting over will be-"
"Will be an adventure. That's where i'm going. I love you, Mom." Said Jason, cutting Gigi off.
"I love you too." Said Gigi. "Good luck, Jason."
Molly barked, bidding Jason farewell.
"Thanks. Same to you. Bye." Said Jason before he began walking over to the bus. Once he made it over to the bus, it's doors opened and he boarded it, followed by it's doors closing and the bus driving off.
"Well...there he goes. Off to college to start his own life." Said Rex.
"Yeah. It seems like only yesterday i was bringing him home from the hospital. They grow up so fast. I'm gonna miss him." Said Gigi.
"I'm gonna miss that hair." Said Rex.
"Yeah...me too." Said Gigi.
"Me three."
"Me four." Said Sherleen.
"So what is this new home of your's in Arizona like? Is it a 60s home like the one you and Dad moved into after you moved out of this 70s home and gave it to me, Brody and Jason?" Gigi asked.
"Uh, no. Actually...this house is more up to date. A 2020s home, to be exact." Said Sherleen.
"Really? Well, that doesn't sound like you and Dad at all. You're usually more old-fashion." Said Gigi.
"I know, but...your father and i have been talking...and...after everything that's happened from (2020) to (2024)...we've decided to finally come into the 21st century." Said Sherleen.
"That's nice to hear." Said Gigi.
"And the 2020s decade." Henry added.
"Well, that's nice to hear too, since it's about to be over within the next two years or so." Said Gigi.
"Excuse me." Came a male voice.
Gigi, Rex, Molly, Sherleen and Henry turned to see one of the movers walk up to them, holding an envelope.
"Yeah, what's up?" Rex asked.
"I found this envelope on the floor of the U-Haul's trailer. It's must've fallen out of the box i was carrying. I think you should open it and read it." Said the mover.
"Thanks." Said Rex as he took the envelope from the mover, who then went back to work.
Rex looked at the envelope.
"Who's it from?" Gigi asked.
"It's from Brody." Said Rex.
"What?" Sherleen asked.
"No kidd'n. What's it say?" Henry said.
"One way to find out, i guess." Said Rex before opening the envelope, getting out two folded up letters, unfolding them and then viewing the first one silently.
"Well?" Gigi asked.
"What does it say?" Henry asked.
Rex, however, did not reply. He just remained quiet as he looked at the letter.

Meanwhile, on the bus, Jason was sitting on the right side, looking out the window, lost in his thoughts. He was having memory flashbacks of himself, Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive and all of the adventures they had had together from (2020) to (2024).
(Song: Space Between)
I didn't know what you
were going through
I thought that you were fine
Why did you have to hide?
I didn't wanna let you down
But the truth is out
It's tearing me apart,
not listenin' to my heart
I really had to go
And i would never stop you
Even though it changed
Nothing has to change
And you can find me in the
space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me, so you
can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the
space between
And nothing can stay the same
It's growin' pains
Be proud of all the scars
They make you who you are
Oh, woah
I know you have to stay
But i'll never really leave you
Nothing has to change
Even though it changed
And you can find me in the
space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you
can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the
space between
There are no words left to say
I know you gotta find your place
But this is not the end (no)
You're part of who i am
Even if we're world's apart
You're still in heart
It will always be you and me
Yeah
And you can find me in the
space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
I'll never be out of reach
No
'Cause you're a part of me, so you
can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the
space betweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
Yeah, no matter where you go
No matter where you go
We can meet...in the
space between
Jason remained lost in his thoughts, still thinking of himself and the puppies and all the times they shared together. Some were bad...and some were good. But either way, he wouldn't've traided any of them for the world. Because in the end...Dice, Mickey, Max and Olive became more than just his friends...they became his brothers and sister. They became a family. His family. And that would never change.
The bus soon arrived at the Paris, Texas airport and stopped twenty feet away from the building. The bus's doors opened and Jason got off with his backpack on his back and his rolling suitcase. The 18-year old boy then ran towards the airport building, dragging his suitcase behind him as the bus closed it's doors before driving off.
Jason rushed inside the airport through the automatic double doors and ran up to the ticket counter that a woman was standing behind. "Excuse me, ma'am, am i too late, did i miss my flight?"
"No, sir, you just made it." Said the woman.
"Oh, YES!" Said Jason with excitement. "Thank goodness, when does it leave?"
"In five minutes. Just give me a few minutes and i'll have your passport ready." Said the woman.
"Thanks." Said Jason before the lady before walking away from the back of the counter.
"JASON!" Came a male voice.
"Huh?" Said Jason as he turned to see Rex and Molly coming running towards him, with Rex holding an envelope.
"JASON!" Shouted Rex as he and Molly ran towards Jason.
"Dad, Molly?" Jason asked.
Rex and Molly ran up to Jason.
"What are you guys doing here? Did you forget something, Dad?" Jason asked.
"No, i didn't..." Rex began. "you did." He said, showing the envelope to Jason.
Jason sat his suitcase up and took the envelope from Rex and looked at it to see who it was from. "It's from Brody."
"Yeah, one of the movers came across it when they were loading one of the boxes onto the U-Haul's trailer. Apparently it had fallen out at the bottom of the box." Rex explained.
"And you came all the way down here to the airport just to give it to me? That is so awesome. Thanks, Dad. But...i don't understand. Why did you bring Molly? What's goin' on?" Said Jason.
"You'll have to read it to find out." Said Rex.
Jason reached inside the open envelope and got out two folded papers and unfolded them and began to read to first one. "Hi, i'm Molly, i'm you're new roommate." He read aloud. "Really?" He asked in disbelief as he looked at Rex. "Really?"
"Finish reading it." Said Rex, with a smile on his face.
Jason turned his attention back to the letter. "Yes, really." He said, resuming to read the letter. "There's gonna be a lot of coming home for the summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, even family visits afterwards, but...i only get one chance to go to college with my best friend. Love, Molly." Tears filled Jason's eyes and then he got down on one knee in front of Molly and hugged her. "(Crying) Oh, Molly...i love you so much." He said as tears fell from his eyes.
"I know." Molly thought to herself.
"Wait." Said Jason before ending the hug with Molly and standing up to face Rex. "I just thought of something. With me going off to college in Canada and Mom going off to college in L.A. and Molly coming with me, that means you're gonna be all alone in Michigan."
"Yes. Yes, it does. But i'm willing to endure it for the benefit of you and your Mom...and Molly." Said Rex.
"But won't you be lonely living in a house in Michigan all by yourself?" Jason asked as he wiped the ears from his face.
"Well, yeah, but...it's like you said before: It's not goodbye, it's just...so long for the time being." Said Rex.
"That it is." Said Jason.
"Excuse me, sir." Came a female voice from behind.
Jason looked behind him and saw the woman behind the counter holding his passport.
"Your passport is ready." Said the woman.
Jason turned to face the lady behind the counter. "Thank you." He said as he took his passport from the woman, followed by placing it in his right pants pocket. The woman then left to take care of other business while Jason turned to face Rex. "Thanks, Dad. You're the best."
"Don't thank me...thank Brody. He's the one who wrote the letters." Said Rex.
"But what about the college staff? What if they don't allow Molly to stay with me on the school grounds?" Jason asked.
"Not to worry, i took care of it." Rex assured.
"You did?" Jason asked.
"Yeah. I called them on the way over here, and they said they were okay with it." Said Rex.
"Really?" Jason asked.
"Yep. Really. Looks like you and Molly are stuck together forever, pal." Said Rex.
"Yeah, looks like it." Said Jason, with a smile on his face. "And now...for the second letter."
"All Toronto passengers please report to the plane that's bound for Tornonto, Canada immediately." Said a female voice on the building's intercom.
Jason and Rex looked at each other.
"It is time." Said Rex in Rafiki's African accented voice.
"Hahahaha. That it is." Said Jason.
"You're gonna do great in college. Thanks for the memories." Said Rex in his own voice.
"Thank you." Said Jason. "And Dad...i'm sorry."
"For what?" Rex asked.
"For not giving you a chance when i learned you were my father. The truth is...i let Ansem take over when you and Mom and everybody else thought i had come out of my coma. And the reason i did that is because i was afraid that you would try to replace Brody or erace him from my life. But...i know now that isn't the case. And for that, i'm sorry. It wasn't fair to you or Mom." Said Jason.
"No, it's what the Dark 13 did to you that wasn't fair. They were the ones who programmed Ansem into your head in the first place." Said Rex.
"Yeah, but i didn't have to help them by giving into it just to escape what i thought was a problem. But then again, it did wear off during our trip to London, England and the second 104 incident in New Zealand in (2022), so...no harm done, i guess. But either way, i am sorry. Really. I am." Said Jason.
"We all make mistakes." Said Rex.
"That we do. Besides, it's not like i didn't try to reach out to you when i was under the influence of The Ansem Project." Said Jason.
"What do you mean?" Rex asked.
"Well, remember that dream you had in (2022) about you and me drawing pictures together? You know, the one that i was 10 years old in?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, i do. How do you know about it?" Rex asked.
"I know because i was the 10-year old version of me in the dream. I was trying to warn you of the danger you, Mom and the dogs were in. Obviously it didn't work, but...at least i tried." Said Jason.
"Good to know." Said Rex. "I, uh...i want you to have this." He said before reaching inside his right pants pocket and getting out a picture of him and 10-year old Jason.
Jason laughed a little.
Rex handed Jason the picture. "Just to...just remember all the good times we had together."
"I will." Said Jason before placing the picture in his left pants pockets.
"You're gonna do great." Said Rex.
"Thank you." Said Jason. "I don't have any tears left."
"I hope you do, Jase. They'll keep you honest." Said Rex.
"All Toronto passengers, this is the last call. Please report to the plane that's bound for Toronto, Canada immediately." Came the same woman's voice on the intercom.
"Time to go." Said Rex.
"When i got picked up by you off the street seven years ago and chatted with you for the first time...i didn't know then how long the road would be...or how wonderful it would be sharing it with you...or that you were my father." Said Jason before more tears filled his eyes. "(Crying) So i don't know how i can just...just fly away without you now."
"(Crying) Well, Jase...we have more to look forward to than the road now. We have the future." Said Rex as tears fell from his eyes.
Tears fell down Jason's face.
"(Crying) I sure do love you." Said Rex before he and Jason embraced each other with a hug, with tears running down both of their faces.
"(Crying) I love you too." Said Jason.
Rex and Jason then ended the hug and wiped the tears from their faces.
Jason then re-folded the two papers and stuck them back in the envelope, followed by folding the envelope and sticking it in his right backpants pocket. "Well...let's go, Molly." Said Jason before grabbing the handle of his suitcase. "Bye, Dad." He said before he and Molly walked off to board the plane to Toronto, Canada, dragging his rolling suitcase behind him.
"Bye, son." Said Rex with a warm smile as he watched as Jason looked back and waved with his right hand while he and Molly walked through the airport to board their plane.

#######################################################################################################
Up in the sky, on board the plane that was bound for Toronto, Canada, Jason sat alone on the right side of the plane in the right seat, silently reading the second letter Brody had written to him while Molly was down in the cargo of the plane.
As he read the letter silently, Jason swore he could hear Brody's voice inside his head: "There's something i've been wanting to talk to you and Molly about. I know this is a very difficult conversation...but i care about you both very much. And i know you care about each other very much and that's why i think it' important that you read these letters before going off to college so you can both be together...my son. My son. Oh, boy."
/
Back on the ground in Paris, Texas, Gigi and Rex were tearfully saying goodbye to Sherleen and Henry.
"The truth is...i have always known that you weren't biologically mine. But you were my son just the same...because you tought me how to love and have feelings again. For so long, i'd forgotten those even were. Before i met your Mom and before she had you...i had been stuck...in a cave, you might say. And then...your Mom went into labor on the night of August 4th of (2009) and you came into my life. For the first time in a long time...i started to feel things again. I started to feel happy."
Later, Rex and Gigi had gotten inside his car and they were now both riding off the house property with the U-Haul following after them, with an Auto-Transport-Trailer hooked to the back of it that had Gigi's station wagon on it. The two had dcided to drive all the way to Michigan instead of fly so they could spend as much time together as possible before Gigi went off to college in Los Angeles the next day. Sherleen and Henry, meanwhile, watched as all three vehicles drove off out of sight.
"I guess i've been feeling...distant from you. Like you're...you're pulling away from me or somthing."
/
Back on board the plane, tears filled Jason's eyes as he continued silently reading Brody's letter.
"I miss playing boardgames every night. Making funalcakes for breakfast along with pancakes, eggs, bacon, ham and waffles. Making fries and burgers at dinner time...watching old movies together with you and your Mom and Molly before we dose off."
/
Meanwhile, Rex, Gigi and the U-Haul drove through Paris, Texas, with Rex in the driver's seat and Gigi in the front passanger seat.
"But i know you're getting older. Growing...changing."
/
Back at the former Miller residence, Sherleen and Henry got inside their cars and drove off the property to head back to their place to help the movers finish packing up the rest of their stuff so they could move and begin their new lives in Arizona.
"And i guess...if i'm being really honest...that's what scares me."
/
"I don't want things to change."
Tears ran down Gigi's face as she sat in the passenger seat of Rex's car while he drove through town as the U-Haul followed.
/
"So i think maybe that's why i came in here. To try to maybe...stop that change."
Sherleen and Henry helped the moves carrying the last of their boxed up items out of the house and onto the U-Haul's trailer.
"To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were."
/
Gigi, Rex and the U-Haul road out of town and into the outskirts desert, passing by a sign on their way out that said 'LEAVING PARIS, TEXAS. COME AGAIN SOON.'
"But i know that's nieve. That's just...not how life works. It's moving...always moving...wheather you like it or not."
/
"And yeah...sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad."
Having helped the movers pack up all the rest of her stuff and load it onto the movers truck, Roxy and Luke got into the convertible and he drove off the house property, with the movers following after them in the movers truck.
/
"And sometimes...it's suprising...happy. So you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you."
With all of their stuff packed up, Bo and Nora got inside their vehicles, with Matthew and Bethoveen getting inside Bo's van with him, and drove off the property of their former home, with the movers truck following them, all heading for the airport.
/
"Make mistakes...learn from them...and when life hurts you-because it will-remember the hurt."
After finishing helping the movers load up the last of her stuff, Emily got inside her car and drove off for the airport to catch her flight to Australia, with the movers truck following her.
/
With the movers truck now loaded with all of their things, Charlie and Viki got inside their cars and drove off, heading for the airport, and the movers truck followed after them.
/
All of their stuff was now loaded onto the U-Haul and Sherleen and Henry got inside their cars and drove off, with the U-Haul truck following after them.
/
Tears ran down Jason face as he silently read Brody's letter.
"The hurt...is good. It means you're out of that cave. But please...if you don't mind...for the sake of me, your poor old friend...keep the door open...three inches."
Jason laughed a little at that last remark as more tears fell from his face.
"Excuse me, sir." Came a female voice.
Jason looked and saw a female flight attendant standing by the side of the empty seat next to his.
"Are you alright?" Asked the female flight attendant.
Jason nodded. "(Crying) Yeah." He said before wiping the tears from his face. "Just read'n a letter from an old friend."
The female flight attendant then walked off, resuming her job.
Jason then folded up the letter and looked out his window at the bright, blue cloud-littered sky, wondering what life in college would be like for him and Molly once their plane had landed in Toronto, Canada. As he looked out the window, however, he could've sworn he saw a headshot image of Brody appear in the sky on one of the clouds. Jason then smiled. "Thanks, Brody...for everything." He said before the image of Brody faded away.
(Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment: Wherever I Go)
So i'm moving on
Letting go
Holding onto tomorrow
(Wherever i go)
Jason remained smiling while still looking out the window.
I've always got
The memories
While i'm finding out
who i'm gonna be
The plane flew off through the bright, blue sky.
We might
be apart
but i hope you
always know
you'll be with me
Yeah
Wherever i go
Wherever i
Wherever i go
The plane continued soring through the sky until it was out of sight.

All of the Dalmatian puppies with collars in the 103 and 104 Dalmatians litters were returned to their owners while the stray ones were adopted by loving people.
STACY HELL's body has never been found.

(The Sounds: No One Sleeps When I'm Awake)
I've seen people
losing all of their
faith before they
knew what they
were looking for
I swore i'd never,
ever do it again
'til this day
Words are all i
have to give to
you
you never seem to
see it my way
Standing in the
shadows i hear
people say
I've got confessions
to make
Listen up
No one sleeps
when i'm awake
The dreams i
dream
the song i sing for
you
They're coming
from my heart
is my message
getting through?
You know it hurts
so bad
just like i knew that
it would
But i'd do it again
do it again if i could
do it again if i
could
I don't think you
know what it's like
you should be
careful what you're
wishing for
and try to set
your ego aside
you will find
a false piece of
mind
You fall
behind
and everybody's
getting
tired of you
Standing in the shadows i
hear people say
I've got confessions
to make
listen up
no one sleeps when
i'm awake
The dreams i
dream
the song i sing for
you
and they're coming
from my heart
is my message
getting through?
You know it
huerts so bad
just like i knew
that it would
but i'd do it again
do it again if i could
Hey, heeey, heeey
I want you to
know, know, know,
know...
hey, hey,
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
heeeeeeeeeeeeey
'Cause the dreams
that i dream
and the songs
that i sing
when i lost myself
and a different
meaning
Shot down and
post, imagine
although it's
hundreds of
dreams
taking place
around you
It hurts so bad
just like i knew
that it would
but i'd do it
again, i'd do it
again if i could
but i'd do it
again, i'd do it
again if i could
I'd do it again
i'd do it again
i'd do it again
i'd do it again if i
could!
103/104 Dalmatians-(2017-2024)
Disney(c) 2024

Well...there ya have it. The 103/104 Dalmatians series FINALE! Filled with drama, comedy, suspence, and a bitter-sweet ending. We hope you have enjoyed this long, 5-part, 3-year series. I know i have. I only hope it's been an exciting adventure for you as it's been for me. Originally, before i started writing the series, i was just going to do 103 Dalmatians, but then i got an idea for a 104 Dalmatians story. And as i wrote the first 104 story, i got an idea for the second 104 story, followed by the third one, and then this one. I didn't plan on the story being five additions longs before...but i suppose it makes a difference when you think about writing a story and then actually get down to writing it.
So much has happened since i started working on this series. I was 23 when i graduated high school in 2016. Now here it is i'm 26 and i'm finishing up this story in 2019. Boy...time flies, i tell ya. So...what do you think of this story? Is it the best one out of all five?
Please review and tell me what you think.
And as for what i'll be doing now that the 103/104 Dalmatians series has reached it's end...well...i think i'm gonna take the rest of the year off. Now, i don't know about you, but i think i've earned it. Wouldn't you say? I certainly think so.
PS: Please, please, please, PLEASE do three separate reviews for chapters 105, 106 and 107. This is the last chapter and it would mean a lot to me if you reviewed each chapter separately. Thank you...and goodbye.
(In everything give thanks-1 Thessalonians 5:18)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
