Author's Notes
Peacenikky: Well, it's the last chapter... And when it ends, so does my fun...
Judi: Oh, knock off the melodrama, Peacenikky! You're acting like it's the end of the world, and you have that sequel planned!
Peacenikky: Sure, spoil the dramatic effect...
Rebecca: Like Peacenikky said, however, this will be the last chapter until she comes out with the sequel.
Leanna: But we do have two last surprises planned! After this chapter is a special little video we put together during the making of the fic and a trailer for the sequel. I think you'll like them.
Judi: So enjoy the ending of Ski Trip Menace!
Peacenikky: But first, a few words for our loyal reviewers!
nagareboshi: Well, here it is!
Europa: The thought of Gohan mini-golfing is quite interesting... And while I don't watch Buffy, I'll try to follow with your fic. And thanks for putting this in your favorites section!
A-Elf: Thanks! In a nutshell, a Mary Sue is an annoyingly perfect female original character who almost always gets the guy and has all these uncontrollable powers. There are several fics out there that discuss this evil further.
JediMasterYami: Sorry to confuse you. Yes, Bakura was sent to the Shadow Realm... for now...
Orenji-Chan: Well, I'll do my best to give Vegeta a cameo in the sequel.
Peacenikky: And Tiamet, thank you so much for BETA reading this fic! Your comments really helped me out!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything mentioned in this fic except for Rebecca, Cye, and the "Warrior of Light," "Guardian Angel," and "Ninja Queen" cards. "Guardian Angel" might appear in Murakumo's "Isle of Lost Illusions" fic. That should do it...

Peacenikky: Let the finale begin!
CHAPTER EIGHT
There was a brief flash of light in the mortal realm as the teens returned from the Shadow Realm. Their souls hung in the air for a moment, then landed unceremoniously back in their bodies. Rebecca apparated, holding Ryou's unconscious form.
"Ow! You could have warned us about the bumpy landing, Yami." Joey complained.
"We're back, aren't we?" Yami asked as he helped Yugi to his feet.
"Yeah, barely." Gohan said as he got up. "That was nothing like any battle I've ever fought before..."
"Tell me about it. It was pretty weird getting used to only attacking by throwing daggers." Videl said.
"I'm gonna have to talk to Armory about making gauntlets a standard part of our outfit." Rebecca said. "Those were cool."
"Well, the main thing is, Bakura's gone now." Tea said.
"He'll be back. He always finds a way back from the Shadow Realm." Yami pointed out.
"What!? After all we went through, he's still gonna come back?" Rebecca said angrily.
"Well, hopefully it'll be a while before he comes back this time." Joey said. "After all, Ryou was the main reason we all got back in one piece."
"Yeah, maybe..." Rebecca said as she brushed the hair out of Ryou's face. "I still can't get over how he stood up to Bakura. It must be hard, dealing with the darker part of yourself."
"It is. There was a time when I had trouble trusting Yami, and it was one of the toughest things I had ever done when I finally owned up to it." Yugi said.
"So, how are we going to explain our absence?" Tristan asked.
"Good question." Videl said, shrugging.
"There you guys are! Where have you been? We've all been worried sick!" Goku called as he ran into the room. He paused and looked at the teens carefully. "And what happened to you? You all look like you've been to hell and back!"
"Well Dad, in a way, we have." Gohan said.
"Care to explain?"
"In a nutshell, an evil spirit from Ryou's Millennium Ring brought us all into a battle in a place called the Shadow Realm. We were lucky to escape with our lives." Yami explained.
"Okay, now there's two Yugi's? This isn't making any sense."
"It's a long story, Mr. Goku." Yugi said.
"Ugh... What happened?" Ryou asked groggily as he began to wake up.
"Hey, glad to see you're still with us, Ryou!" Tea said happily.
"Great job dealing with Bakura!" Tristan said, giving a thumbs-up.
"I suppose so... Wait a second... Rebecca? Is that you?" Ryou asked as he stood up. Rebecca smiled sheepishly.
"Yep, it's me, all right. Surprised?"
"You could say that. So this is what Bakura was blackmailing you for?"
"You got it... My supervisors are so going to kill me when they find out about this fiasco..."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked.
"It's simple. Guardian angels obviously have to keep low profiles in life. Only a few people can find out who we are, usually the ones we protect and maybe their families. However, now let's see..." Rebecca began to count on her fingers. "First Bakura found out, then Yami, Yugi, then Joey, then came Tea and Tristan, and now Ryou... This makes seven more people who know about my secret than there should be..... I'm as good as dead."
"Ouch." Tristan said.
"Um, Rebecca..." Gohan began.
"I mean, first they'll yell at me for hours, then they'll give me some ridiculous punishment..."
"Rebecca..."
"And then I'll most likely be transferred permanently to the Home For Infinite Losers, and that's about the..."
"REBECCA!"
"Gohan, what is it? I'm in the middle of a panic here!"
"I'm pretty sure there's a way you can get out of this. Remember the first time we met?"
"Oh, yeah..."
~~~
Five-year-old Gohan was walking through the forest, completely lost. He was currently undergoing Piccolo's training, which was difficult for any child, even if he was half-Sayian.
"Where am I now? I can't be too far from camp, can I? YEARGH!!!" Gohan had wandered a little too close to the edge of a cliff. The problem was, he hadn't quite mastered flying yet.
"Hang on! I gotcha!" a young female voice had called as Gohan landed in a pair of arms. Rebecca, about twelve years old developmentally, gently lowered the boy to the ground. "You ought to be a little more careful, Gohan. I might not be able to catch you next time."
"How do you know my name? And why do you have wings?"
"Um, well..."
"Wait a second! You're an angel, aren't you? Daddy must have sent you to watch over me, didn't he?"
"Well, not quite, but..."
"Wait till I tell Mr. Piccolo about you! I'm sure he'll be glad to meet you!"
"No, don't! If Mr. Piccolo finds out I interfered with your training, and if my supervisors found out I ditched my training without permission, they'd... wait a second... Gohan, do you like magic tricks?"
"Yeah."
"Then I'll show you one. Look deep into my eyes, okay?"
"How can I? They're covered by that helmet."
"Then look at the visors, okay?" Rebecca asked somewhat impatiently.
"Okay, I'm looking."
"Focus on me, and don't blink, got it?"
"I got it. What's the trick?"
"You'll see soon enough." Rebecca smirked and concentrated her energy. "LETHE!" Gohan's eyes widened slightly just before he passed out. Rebecca stood up and brushed the grass from her skirt. "Sorry about that, Gohan. You'll wake up soon." She took a few steps back and crossed her arms so one hand was on each shoulder and whispered "Astral form!" Rebecca's physical form instantly faded from view as she began to fly up. Meanwhile, Gohan began to wake up.
"Huh. I wonder how I got here. I don't remember walking here... Oh, wow! There's my camp!" Gohan laughed and ran back to his small lean-to, already grabbing branches for the fire. Rebecca smiled and flew back to the Angel Realm.
~~~
"That's right... I erased your memories of what happened, and you didn't remember until we met again. Man, did I get read the riot act when Cye found out I didn't just adjust them." Rebecca shook her head and smiled.
"So, you can change memories?" Tea asked.
"Yeah, if necessary. But there's a catch..." Rebecca sighed. "You see, I'm not that powerful. Right now, I can only change the memories of Gohan. Unless..."
"Well, don't keep us in suspense, Beck." Yugi said.
"I can change your memories if I have your consent. It's the only way I can do it."
"Let me get this straight. You're asking us for permission to adjust our memories?" Ryou asked.
"Yep."
"Before we agree to anything, I want to know the details of the matter." Yami said.
"Well, I'm not going to erase your memories completely." Rebecca began. "I'm just going to, well, paint over them, in a way. I'll remove everything that had to do with you guys seeing me in this form. I'm also going to erase your memories of this....." Rebecca held out her palm, and in a brief glitter of light, her thumb ring appeared. "It was because of this ring that Bakura remembered his experience with our order, and it probably helped Yami figure out who I really am, as well."
"I guess that sounds all right, if it'll keep you out of trouble." Yugi said, shrugging his shoulders. "What about the rest of you guys?"
"Oh, all right. I can hardly remember anything important anyway." Joey said. Tristan and Tea also agreed.
"Well, I suppose there's no harm in it." Ryou said. "But what about Bakura? If he comes back, then..."
"Not to worry. You two have the bond of hikari and yami. If he came back from the Shadow Realm, Bakura's memories would be affected by yours."
"All right, if you say so."
"What about you, Yami?" Yugi asked, looking at his darker half.
"I don't think her wiping all of our memories is such a good idea. I'd rather keep mine intact."
"Oh, come on! Please? My supervisors will kill me if someone remembers! Besides, it's best for everyone's memories to stay the same."
"I doubt you'll get in trouble if I still remember. I'm not exactly an ordinary human."
"Well, neither was Bakura!"
"He was threatening to expose you. I won't."
"Well, you do kinda have a point there..." Rebecca sighed in defeat. "All right, I guess it can't hurt... But you have to swear on your honor that you won't tell a soul."
"If it makes you feel at ease, I swear."
"Thank you. In the extremely unlikely chance that for some odd reason you need to remember, the memories will be restored. But I doubt that'll happen." Rebecca smiled. "Thanks, you guys. This really means a lot to me."
"All right, just get it over with before we change our minds." Joey said.
"Okay, everyone gather round. This'll only take a second." Rebecca shut her eyes as she gathered her energy, then opened them and cried out "LETHE!" The teens inhaled sharply, and then fell over, unconscious. Yami rushed over to Yugi. "Don't worry. They'll all wake up very shortly. The memories are being changed as we speak."
"You'd better change back before they wake up, or we'll be going through this all over again." Gohan pointed out.
"Yeah, good idea." Rebecca nodded to the others, then transformed back into her human form and slipped her ring into her pocket just before the others began to wake up. "Well, I'm glad to see you guys are all right. I was pretty worried there for a second." Rebecca said, feigning concern.
"Yeah, we thought something bad had happened to you guys on the way back." Videl said, playing along.
"Hey, we're not taken out that easily." Tristan said as he got up.
"Have a little faith in us! We're fine." Yugi said as Yami helped him get up for the second time.
"Yeah, we're okay." Tea said.
Ryou blinked in confusion as he got to his feet. "That's odd. I've got the strangest feeling I've forgotten something." Rebecca gulped before Ryou chuckled. "Oh well. I'm sure it's not that important." As Joey got up, Goku cleared his throat.
"Well, you guys owe me an explanation before we leave on Monday. Now come on. We'd better get back outside. The others are waiting for us."
"Okay, Dad." Gohan said.
***
Not long after the teens went outside, the firemen arrived and put out the fire. Thankfully, it had stayed in the kitchens, and the students were allowed back inside for bed. The last two days of their trip passed uneventfully enough, though Joey had a few more run-ins with various pine trees. When Monday rolled around, the teens, except for Shaprner, Erasa, and Tristan, gathered in front of the ski lodge for their final farewells.
"Well, I guess we'll be seeing you later." Videl said. Tea smiled.
"Sooner than you might think, Videl. I overheard the teachers talking, and they were saying something about making our schools sister schools! That means we'll be playing football against each other in exhibition matches and stuff! Isn't that great?"
"You're kidding!" exclaimed Yugi. Tea shook her head. Gohan let out a whoop of excitement. "This is great!" At that moment, Tristan walked up, looking miserable.
"Guys, Erasa dumped me. She said a long-distance relationship wouldn't work out." Joey patted his friend on the back.
"Hey, don't sweat it. You know what they say, 'tis better to have never loved at all than to have loved and lost... wait, that can't be right..." The girls all groaned and Ryou chuckled as Joey continued to slaughter the saying.
"Hey guys, I want you to fill these out." Tea said as she pulled out a pad of paper and several different colored gel pens. "I thought we could keep in touch if we all put our names, addresses, phone numbers, and E-mail here."
"Good idea." Gohan said as he took a pen and began to copy the data on the paper. When they were finished, Goku came up with a camera.
"Hey, I thought you guys would want to take a picture to remember this trip by."
"Thanks, Mr. Goku!" Yugi said as the teens got into position. Goku held up the camera.
"Now, I want a nice, big smile from all of you." The teens obliged. Rebecca sighed mentally as she looked at Ryou.
'Well Ryou, we did it. Bakura's gone, and you can have a normal life now. Congratulations.'
"Okay, now everyone say cheese!"
"CHEESE!"
