As they approach the Moonbase loading dock, the Squad is greeted by Fanny and Patton.

"Welcome home guys. It's good to see you guys again." Patton salutes.

"Thanks Numbuh 60, good to see." Chad salutes back. They then both smile at each other, laugh and bro hug.

"Welcome back, sir." Fanny salutes.

"Oh let's cut it with the formalities. Come in here Fanny." Rachel then gives Fanny a hug, who hugs her back.

"So where is everyone?" Cree asks. "Where's Sectors L and V?"

"There on Earth on their way up here. But I'm wondering where the prisoners are you told us about." Patton responds.

"Oh we got them fuckers in the cargo hold. You can get them in the Pit later, they ain't goin anywhere." Rachel informs him.

"What about Negative 11? You want four people down there?" Patton asks.

"No, I want her out of there. I want her back in the Negaverse, permanently. That's your mission for tomorrow." Rachel informs Patton and Fanny.

"But ma'am, we don't know the Negaverse."

"Fortunately, Tommy Gilligan does. He'll be your guide. He'll get you in and out, and tell you who to watch out for." Chad tells them.

"He's not official KND, why not you or Cree?" Patton asks.

"I spent almost three years down with a destroyed back. There's no fucking way I'm ever going back there. Hell cannot possibly be worse. Besides Tommy did more exploring than we did anyway." Cree explains.

"I get that. We'll get that done ASAP. But first, we have something for you guys. Follow us." Patton informs them. The Squad follow the pair into a room leading to an auditorium.

"Fanny, what the hell's going on?" Rachel asks curiously.

Suddenly all the lights in the auditorium come on, revealing every KND and TND operative in the organization. The abrupt into cheers and applause. The Squad is completely surprised by this, but also grateful to receive the attention and live from their comrades.

"Thank you guys. This means a lot to us." Rachel says, beginning to year up with joy. Nigel wraps his arm her shoulder and she hugs his waist.

"So, who wants to give a speech first?" Patton asks. Earning confused looks from Nigel and Chad.

"Excuse me? We didn't prepare speeches, what are we supposed to say?" Nigel asks.

"Just wing it. I'd think the you of all people would know how to do that." Rachel quips. Nigel looks at her and kisses her in the forehead.

"God I love you."

"I know." Rachel then turns her attention to Patton. "Gimme the mic, I'll be the only one making a speech. Is that cool guys?" The other members of the Squad nod yes in agreement. She the walks up to crowd and salutes.

"Kids Next Door, rule!"

"Numbuh 362, sir!"

"First off, I wanna give a big thank you to Numbuhs 60 and 86 for arranging this little surprise for us." Everyone applauds the two officers, who both take a bow.

"And if they're out there; I would like to thank the members of Sectors L, V, and W for their assistance in assuring victory over Galactic." Sector W stands up and takes a bow. Though Sectors L and V are not present, they are still given a round of applause.

"If he's out there, give Tommy Gilligan a round of applause for his unprecedented assistance of saving the lives of our most valued Teen operatives." Though he too is not there, they all give him the applause he is owed.

"And finally, I would also like to thank all of you for your love and support. It's good to know that we have a loyal and grateful group in our organization. In spite of all the hardships we've all been through, it's good to know that we still have each other's backs. It's good to know that even amongst all the confusion that has arisen, we can still do our job together. I thank you all for this, and I hope that we all get to speak each and every one of you at some point. Thank you." Everyone in the audience cheers as Rachel finishes her speech. When she finishes, Fanny takes center stage.

"Kids Next Door, Dismissed!" All the operatives soon exit upon hearing those words.

Soon after the other remaining operatives leave and begin walking towards a lounge area on the Moonbase, where they smell something funny. They investigate to find the members of Sector Z smoking cigars.

"What are you doing?! You're gonna stank up this whole goddamn Moonbase!" Fanny shouts.

"Sorry about that, we're just celebrating." Bruce says, as he turns to address them. As the other members turn around, the Squad recognizes them for who they are.

"Sector Z? Is it really you?" Nigel asks, almost in disbelief.

"Yes Nigel, it's really us. It's good to see you guys again." Ashley says.

Rachel then turns her attention to Patton and Fanny, "Leave us." The two of them leave. The Squad walks over to Sector Z.

"Son of a bitch. You two are all grown up." David says, looking at Cree and Chad.

"It's good to see you again, David. I'm sorry I couldn't get you guys as quickly as I wanted to." Chad says rather sullenly.

"Don't be. It's not your fault that that shit went down. Be proud of everything you've done in your life." Lenny says, taking another puff of his cigar.

"I gotta ask. What's with the cigars?" Cree asks.

"We got these after a mission in Havana. Romeo y Julieta. Best Cuban cigars, meaning the best cigars in the world. We got these to celebrate once we were sure Father was never coming back to Earth." Constance explains, taking another puff and loving it.

"Where is Father heading? And you're absolutely certain he won't be back?" Nigel asks.

"I think they can assure that for you." Bruce says, motioning for the Squad to turn around. Behind them, they see Sectors L and V, and Tommy.

"Hey guys." Numbuh 5 says. Cree runs over to hug her sister, and the others soon follow in with a big group hug. Sector Z sits back and goes back to smoking their Cubans.

"What kept you guys?" Nigel quips.

"Well sorry, but we were ensuring that Father went on a one way trip to a planet beyond our galaxy. Plus we did have to pick Tommy up from his lunch date." Hoagie explains.

"Well good to know Father's never coming- wait a minute, did you say Tommy had a date?" Chad asks.

"Ha ha, yeah. I set him up on a blind date with Henrietta. He needed to get away from Mushi. Figured this would be best for him." Abby explains.

"Um okay, didn't ever think of my little sister as a wingman, but okay. How did it go Tommy?"

"It was okay. The food was good, but all she wanted to talk about was Abby. So that might be something to look out for." Tommy explains.

"Oh well, what about that date with Patient C. She seemed cute, didn't she?" Abby asks.

"Yeah, but all she kept saying was that I was cute, funny, and wanted me as her boyfriend." Timmy explains, much to everyone's confusion.

"Um, none of those seem like bad things bud." Chad comments.

"Correct, but when they come from someone who comes off as the twins from 'The Shining', that's some creepy shit." Tommy explains.

"You just have no luck with women do you?" Wally quips.

"You know what, maybe just ask Tommy what he likes instead of just hooking him up with random strangers. Is there anyone in particular that you like, Tommy?" Cree asks, causing Tommy to become nervous.

"Well um… I don't think I should say. One person I like is already with someone, and I don't know if I'm the other guy's type." Tommy explains.

"Well just tell us who it… wait did you say guy?" Hoagie asks. Tommy begins to tear up.

"Y-yes." He answers reluctantly. As he tears up, Hoagie then a hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Tommy. You're among friends here. Who are they?" Tommy then shakily points a finger at Nigel, much to everyone except Nigel's surprise.

"Really?" Nigel asks and Tommy nods yes.

"Well, now I know why you said you wanted a room next mine when you graduated from the academy." Nigel says.

"You're not mad at me?" Tommy asks.

"Mad? No. Why would I be mad? I'm proud of you. Not many boys have the guts to admit something like that. Love who you want to love. I do hope you find someone that can make you happy." Nigel says, making Tommy feel much better.

"Thank you. I think I'm gonna ask him out now. But can I ask you a favor, Hoagie?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can you be with me when I ask Ace out?"

"Yeah sure." Nigel suddenly turns to Hoagie with a surprised look on his face.

"Wait? Ace the Kid is gay? How? He has a crush on Numbuh 3?" Sectors L and V all begin chuckling.

"Um, not Numbuh 3." Abby says while eyeing a beet-red Wally.

"Oh, wow. I've missed out on a lot. You'll have to tell me everything I've missed." Nigel says.

"Well let's talk about it all on the way back home, boss." Abby says.

"Agreed it's been a long day. Let's head home." Nigel says.

"Before we all take off, Tommy. I do have a mission for you. I want you to go with Numbuhs 60 and 86, you're gonna help them take Negative Numbuh 11 back to the Negaverse. We're also bringing some prisoners to the Pit. They're waiting for you in the hallway." Rachel informs him, handing him the keys to the Squad's ship.

"Yes ma'am." Tommy salutes her and goes off to find the other two operatives.

"Alright that's good, anything else?" Rachel asks.

"I'm good. I'll just miss rehearsal. Dad's gonna wanna see both of us.

"Rehearsal?" Rachel asks.

"Oh yeah. Me and a group are doing a show that satirizes villains. I'm basically playing Sandy." Harvey informs her, much to Dalia's displeasure.

"What's wrong with you?" Nigel asks his cousin.

"Oh it's just seeing him in a role where he flirts with girls, not exactly thrilled about that." Dalia explains.

"I told you. It's not like that, plus the girl I share scenes with is a total bitch. I just imagine myself talking to you when I'm around her. I told her that YOU are my princess." Harvey explains to his girlfriend, earning a big hug and kiss in the forehead.

"Oh honey bun. You always know just what to say."

"Alright guys, with that said. Let's go home." Nigel says. As they all walk to a ship, Nigel sees Chad and Cree walking towards a janitor closet.

"Are guys coming?" Nigel calls out.

"Uh we'll… catch up you guys." Cree calls back.

Knowing what she means, Rachel rolls her eyes. "Clean up when you're done." She quips.

As the rest of them reach the docking bay, the all pile into a ship and Hoagie begins to fly them back to Earth.

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter

And there's not a friend to help you through

Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs

Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues

Thank you for your wine, California

Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits

Yes I got the desert in my toenail

And I hid the speed inside my shoe

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia

Come on, honey child, beg you

Come on, come on down, you got it in ya

Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes

The End

This is the final chapter of the story. I hope you all enjoyed what I have given you in this story. I chose "Sweet Virginia" for the last song, because that's where Sector V's is located. There is actually going to be a next generation story within this same continuity of ships that I am going to begin publishing. I'd like to say on a side note, that I always intended for Numbuh 362 to have a speech like this. Given what's happening in the world right now, those words have never been truer. I wish the best for all of you. Happy reading!
