The Conclusion Part 28b

"No, Dad I need to be with Max and Katie tonight. You can't force me to come with you. I am eighteen and I am old enough to move out. Dad I will always be you little girl but I have to make my own decisions about my life. You don't understand that I love Max and I will marry him and we will be together. I want your blessing but it looks like I won't have it. I am staying here with my family. Yes dad Max and Katie are my family now. Ill see you and mum tomorrow." Liz told her father and without waiting for a reply. Max took Liz's hand and guided her up to his bedroom.

Jeff feeling defeated but was pulled out of the Evan's house by his angry wife. Nancy turned to Diane and Philip and said "thank you so much for this evening and I am sorry you have to listen to Jeff's outburst".

"It's not a problem it's a blessing that now we know what our kids have been up to these past two years." Philip told their friends.

"Nancy its not a problem take care and we will see you sometime tomorrow." Diane said reassuring Nancy.

"Bye"

When they were right by their car. Nancy turned to her husband. "I can't believe you ordered Liz to come home. I thought you were going to try to accept the fact that our daughter and her friends are something special and as much as it hurts me to let her go. I have to. I am happy she has found love. Jeff, it's obvious that Liz needs to be with Max. Max almost lost Liz tonight and she needs him. She will always be our daughter and I am not going to let you take that away from me." Nancy got it the car and they drove silently back to the Crashdown.

The next morning

Liz sat on the bed brushing her hair "Max there is something that you should know".

Max turned around "What Liz?"

Liz took a deep breath and answered "Max, before Julie left us the first time she said if anything thing happened to her or that when we want to find a place of our own there is a house that is in Julie's name that we can have. There is also some money in the house. That we can use for the children. It's spilt up into 4 lots. One for Katie, one for Ricky and one each for Jenny and Anne.

"Wow, how much?" Max asked amazed.

"10,000 thousand Dollars a piece"

Max started at Liz his mouth hanging open "Whaat. Where?"

Liz smiled at the look at Max's face "In a safe".

The parents and the pod squad met up at the Evans.

Liz spoke first. "I think we had better bury Julie first. I know that all of you would like to come but I think only Alex, Maria, Kyle and the children should go. We knew her before you all and she was like an older sister to us. I don't mean any disrespect. But I feel like this should be just us".

"Liz are you sure you don't want us to come with you?"

"Max, I am sure this is what we need to do by ourselves please understand"

"I do Liz. But I think that we should all be there to say goodbye."

Liz looked at Alex, Maria and Kyle who nodded their heads "Can you go and get Julie's body and put it in the car"?

"Sure Liz" ++++++++++++++++++++ Max let Liz drive the jeep as he didn't know where Julie was to be buried. Isabel and Alex were in the back. The children were in their parent's car with Maria and Michael.

They came to small rock formation and Liz stopped the car and got out. Everyone got out of their cars.

"Er Liz where are we going"? Mr Evans asked

Liz turned around and said "to the place that we were born." Silently motioned to Alex for him to pick up Julie and Liz opened put her hand on a rock and it opened to reveal a downward staircase. Katie went over to Liz and held her hand. Ricky did the same and went over to Maria. Jenny and Anne went over to Kyle and he held both of the girl's hands.

They all walked silently down there with their soulmates and parents following.

Liz let go of Katie's hand and went over to a big box which looked like a pod and stroked it. She turned to where everyone was looking and said "this is where we came out of our pods over there" she pointed and "over there is where the children came out of theirs".

Liz opened it and Julie was placed in. Liz closed the lid.

Maria went over and touched the pod "Goodbye Julie, Thank you for looking after us and placing us in wonderful families. I promise we will do well in this world and we will look after the children and bring them up as our own".

Alex went over to the pod and touched it. "Good bye Julie I will watch over everyone. I will never forget how you taught me to use my powers. I will use them wisely and for good. As I am sure we will all use them.

Kyle was the next one up "Julie thank you for helping us become better and powerful. I will try not to bore people with my jokes. Have a good journey home and I will see you in the afterlife."

All three of the got up and walked away to give Liz some space to say her goodbyes.

Liz walked over and sat down next to the pod. Katie followed and sat beside Liz and put her head on Liz's lap. Liz stroked Katie's hair and turned her head to the pod.

Julie, you were like a mother/sister to me you listened to me when I needed you. You helped me when I was lost. You helped me with my powers. You were there when I needed you and now you will be able to rest knowing that its time I needed to lean on someone else. I will always be grateful that you came to earth with us and helped us with the children I hope that I will make you proud of us. Good bye my friend." Liz placed one had on her mouth and kissed it and placed it on the pod and stood up.

Katie followed Liz back to where Maria was standing.

Max stepped up "Julie I know that we haven't known you for long but I think I speak for Isabel, Michael, Serena and myself thank you for helping to keep Liz, Alex, Maria, Kyle and the children safe for all these years. I wish we had time to know you longer. We will do our best to survive".

Maria went over to a small panel on a wall and pressed a couple of buttons. All of a sudden the roof of the pod chamber opened to reveal a whole which was bigger enough for the pod to fit through. A white light came down and lifted the pod into the air and took off.

Alex said respectfully, "Goodbye Julie may you reach the stars and find yourself to the place where your soul was born."

There was a complete moment of silence. Mrs Evans looked at Liz and asked "Where did you send Julie?"

Liz turned around and faced everyone and said "We sent to her final resting place. Home"

The End. A Tale of Two Planets will follow shortly
