Epilogue by Max
I once said I wanted to forget my barcode exist, but perhaps that isn't true. As much as that barcode is a symbol of my curse, it's what makes me one of them, it's what makes me a part of Zack, Jondy, Tinga and the rest of my siblings. And well, I wouldn't give that up for the world. It was hard saying good-bye to Original Cindy and even harder saying good-bye to Logan, who simply asked "please stay". All I could do was promise I'd be back.
After leaving Logan's we met up with Zack and dropped Cindy at Jam Pony. I watched my sister share a parting kiss with Original Cindy and at that moment, I saw, they were beautiful together. It was odd, I had once said if I were into girls, I could be with Original Cindy and cut these crazy guys out of my life. And then my sister had come to town and become Cindy's girl. A sister I considered more like myself than anyone else in the world.
And I should mention, I had one up on Zack, because he didn't know Jondy was a lesbian either. However, It mattered for all of five seconds, Zack was to busy gloating saying , "I'm glad you finally made the smart choice." I rolled my eyes at him, but I wasn't really angry. He was just being Zack and it would be interesting to be his annoying little sister for a day. Maybe after a day of that, he'd be able to let go of the other thing and if he didn't, oh well, Zack's feelings were his own.
Jondy, Zack and I blazed out of Seattle, looking like some type of small biker gang. And I was actually happy to be with them, even if we would split up soon. Seattle, Eyes Only, Jam Pony, Logan, Original Cindy and my other friends had all been there before me and would go on without me, but I would come back to them anyway -- because I loved them as much as I did the family I was with.
But until then, I was riding with my sister, my best friend, my homie, my ace. And everything was right with the world.
Did I ever return to Seattle? Well that's another story.
END

Authors note: I've been looking for an excuse for Max to leave
Seattle, so in the end she left Seattle to be with her sister awhile longer
and let Seattle cool off. Unlikely, but it seemed like a smart decision.
Besides, I had to leave myself open for a sequel.
