It took the yacht no more than five minutes to exit the underground river and tunnel and out to the vast Tanchester Lake. Though no one onboard could see its beauty at night, it was peaceful enough for them to relax for a few minutes after that incident with the Phantom of Rock n Roll. Even the robots had so much mixed feelings of sadness that they couldn't be with their mother anymore, of guilt for what they had to do to their friends because their mother ordered them to do it and uncertainty about what was going to happen to them in the future. They told their friends all of that after they apologized for what they did to them.

"You're all forgiven," Michaela told the robots. "And, Max, Roxanne, I'm sorry myself for not being brave enough to confront the Phantom and save you earlier."

"You were very brave and very helpful too, Michaela," Roxanne said. "I would never have been able to been able to rescue Max without you, so thank you for helping me."

"My pleasure, Roxanne," Michaela said.

"And I'm just grateful that you rescued me when you did, Michaela," Max said, who was still hugging Roxanne from her drowning incident. "And I'm grateful to you as well, Roxanne."

Roxanne smiled for the first time since the Phantom of Rock n Roll ruined Patrick and Penelope's birthday party and threatened Max. "It was an absolute pleasure, Max. I wouldn't have done it for anyone else, especially for guys like Chad or Hugo."

"I don't know what I've done to deserve to be rescued by two lovely, beautiful, brave ladies such as you two," Max said.

"Oh, you're too modest, Max," Michaela said.

"He always was," Roxanne said.

"You deserve to be rescued by me because you are my best friend, Max," Michaela said. "In fact, I think you're the first friend I've ever had in my life."

"You deserve to be rescued by me, too, Max," Roxanne said, "because you are a really great guy. You were the perfect boyfriend while I lived in Spoonerville, you helped me when I had that terrible illness by raising money to get the treatment I needed and you helped me get a break from Hugo when I needed it. It's about time I did something good for you."

"So, what are you going to do now, T-Rax?" Screwy asked.

"Well, obviously, he's going back to Tanchester to show everyone that he's alive and unharmed," Botty said.

"I meant after that," Screwy said.

"I don't know, Screwy," Max said. "I'm not sure if anyone wants anything to do with T-Rax anymore. After what happened to the Tanchester Square Garden."

"That wasn't your fault, Max," Michaela said. "No one blames you for what the Phantom did. They saw for real that you were a victim of her, not her henchman. Would they be looking for you and trying to free you from the Phantom if they thought you were on her side?" Michaela asked.

"No," Max said, but he was unsure. Then he felt his hands being held warmly by Roxanne's.

"You are as talented as you are popular, Max," Roxanne said. "Not many people are as lucky as you to get that recognition at your age. Not even Powerline achieved what you did when he was your age. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't throw it away."

"Maybe you can change your stage name, T-Rax," Botty said. "Mother chose it for you, after all. I believe a lot of people change their stage names more than once."

"Yeah, like Sean Combs with Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Puffy and Brotherly Love," Nutsy said. "Also Cher was born Cherilyn Sarkisian and used the names Bonnie Jo Mason, Cherilyn and Cleo before she became Cher."

"Then there's Prince Rogers Nelson who became Prince and The Artist Formerly Known As Prince or TAFKAP," Screwy said.

"You made some very good points, guys," Max said. "I'll need to think about it. But, like Botty said, I think the most important thing right now is that we get back to Tanchester and show everyone that I'm still alive."

"Aye, aye, Captain," Nutsy said, who went to the steering wheel.

The other robots followed him, leaving Max, Roxanne and Michaela alone on the sundecks. A minute later, the yacht was sailing away again.


While the yacht continued to sail, Max asked Roxanne and Michaela how they and the rest of their friends survive the collapsing of the Tanchester Square Garden.

"It was an invention from Professor Von Drake that saved," Roxanne said. "It was an actual giant jello mold that covered us up in it and acted like a defensive shield until the stadium collapsed on top of us."

"But it was your dad that got it to work," Michaela said. "Professor Von Drake, who invented the invention himself, couldn't get it to work."

"How did my dad get it to work?" Max asked. "By adding cream on top of it?"

"No, by adding the mustard packets in his pockets."

"Mustard jello? Yuck!" Max pulled a funny face. "But I am glad that it was useful for saving everyone and they're alive and unharmed."

"Just wait until they see that you are alive and unharmed," Roxanne said. "They will be delighted as Michaela and I are."

"And what will you guys do now?" Max asked the girls.

"I still have to finish my doctor training," Michaela said. "Once I've completed that, I'd better get a job as one because I don't have one back at the Tanchester Square Garden."

"I'm sure you'll get one, Michaela," Max said. "Roxanne?"

"I guess I'll just go back to complete my nurse training and continue to be a free slave to my terrible husband," Roxanne said.

Max wished he could do more to help Roxanne be free from that horrible Hugo. He couldn't think of a way right now, but he wouldn't give up on her. He wasn't trying to free her from Hugo so he could get back with her; he was trying to do it because he loved Roxanne so much and cared so much for her wellbeing and what her to be as happy as she could be. When she was happy, he was happy.

Then everyone got worried when they heard an alarm.

"Oh, don't worry," Botty said, running towards them. "That's just our five-minute warning that we're approaching Tanchester Docks."

They looked ahead and saw that she was right.

"Thanks, Botty," Max said.

Five minutes later, the yacht approached the docks. When it was stopped, Botty jumped off with two ropes and tied them to the dock cleats. Then after making the yacht was nice and secure, everyone departed it and headed to the city of Tanchester.
