AN: The end of my first Planeteer fic. Never fear, though, I'm so addicted to CP at the moment, there will be a lot of fic to come! Thank you so much to everyone who has reviews! I expected to get 5 reivews for a CP fic, and I've so far got 15!

Epilogue

As a group, the Planeteers decided to go back to Hope Island, and keep on the look out; if Plunder's plan had failed this time, it wouldn't be long until one of the other Eco-Villains made a reappearance with some other evil scheme.

The Planeteers all climbed into the Geo-Cruiser. Linka turned back to her family and so-called friends. The rest of the Planeteers climbed into the Geo-Cruiser and waited for Linka to say good bye.

"See you soon, Nonna," Linka said, flinging her arms around her grandmother. "I will try and write more often."

"Yes, Linka," Nadia said and pulled away, looking at her granddaughter's face. "Keep out of trouble, da? And come and visit more often. You bring your friends, too. Good-bye."

Linka turned to her brother and Mishka flung his arms around Linka. "I will miss you Little Sister; you should come home for a proper holiday next time, nyet? Do not have too much fun."

"Da, I will," Linka laughed. "You will help out with the mines, nyet?"

"Da, I will," Mishka said. "And, Wheeler is pretty 'cool', Linka. All your friends are - especially Gi."

Linka managed to cover up her smirk at Mishka's obvious admiration of Gi and turned to Nikolai and Tatiana.

"We are sorry, Linka. We did not understand how serious the 'situation' was," Nikolai said stiffly. "Friends?"

Linka frowned for a moment. "Da, friends."

"I am sorry, Linka," Tatiana said softly. "Leaving school was a mistake, but I was lonely without you and I needed to feel like I could get out of this town. You were so lucky; getting to see the world. I wanted that. I did not know you and Wheeler were that close… friends?" Tatiana's dark brown eyes were wide, full of remorse.

"Da, Tatiana. I will miss you both," Linka said, hugging both Nikolai and Tatiana and kissing Nikolai on the cheek.

From the Geo-Cruiser, Wheeler saw the kiss and jumped from his seat. "Hey, what is she doing?"

Kwame, Ma-ti and Gi ignored him.

Linka climbed into the Geo-Cruiser and fastened her seatbelt. With Gi as Pilot and Kwame as Co-Pilot, the Geo-Cruiser took off.

"Well, so much for a holiday," Wheeler said, giving Linka a smile, which caused her to blush a little bit.

"At least we can have a break on Hope Island," Ma-ti said.

"Yes, that will be good. Maybe we could stop in Beijing - there is a festival on there soon," Gi said.

"And the Mardi Gras in New Orleans," Kwame pointed out. "It is meant to be very good."

"What about Las Vegas?" Wheeler suggested.

"Or maybe Hollywood, Gi?" Linka said in a teasing voice. "We could go shopping."

"Or Bali at this time of year is nice," Ma-ti suggested, stalling any arguments about Linka's suggestion.

"Planeteers, we have an Eco-Emergency!" Gaia's image floated over the Geo-Cruiser. "There has been an oil spill on Papua New Guinea's coastline!"

As Kwame, Gi and Ma-ti questioned Gaia about their latest mission, Linka pulled her Planeteer Communicator out of her pocket. If they had another mission so soon, it would be awhile before she had a private moment with Wheeler. So, text messaging.

/Thank you for helping me. Love Linka./

Sending it, Linka really couldn't think of anything to say to him.

But when they did arrive in Papua New Guinea, Wheeler pulled her aside and kissed her again. And that worked.
