"No." Zero said.
"Excuse me? I just asked you to hand over the box and I expect you to listen!" yelled the Warden.
"No! It belongs to Stanley." He said.
Evan, Grace, and Caveman looked over their shoulders at Zero.
"What?" the Warden yelled.
"Well.that's impossible!" said Mr. Pendanski.
"No! It isn't! Look. It has his name on it!" said Zero.
Evan, Grace, and Caveman turned their heads to look where Zero was pointing, and sure enough, it had "STANLEY" written on it with rusted gold letters.
"I-I-What? No. That's...you're lying! You somehow, uh, put the letters there while we weren't looking." The Warden stammered.
Zero was about to talk when a man spoke, "I think that it's quite impossible that Zero would ever find letters like that, let alone, glue them on the trunk without you seeing him."
Evan and Grace looked at each other, wondering who that man was. There was also a women standing there, with Courtni and Magnet!
"Magnet! Court! W-What are you guys doing here?" Grace asked, completely delighted.
"This is Stanley's parents, it's a long story, but I'll tell you later." Said Magnet. Mr. Yelnats grabbed Grace's hand and helped her out of the hole. Then he got Evan, Caveman, and Zero out safely. Mr. Pendanski, Mr. Sir, and The Warden all just stood there, looking bewildered.
"Mom, Dad, this is Evan, my good friend that I met here." Stanley said. "Hi hon. Nice to meet you." Mrs. Yelnats said.
"This is Hector, my other really good friend." He said. "Hi" They said.
"You know Court and Magnet." He said.
"Yes." Said Mrs. Yelnats.
"Grace, come on." Caveman said to Grace, who was standing away from everybody.
"Mom, Dad. This is my girlfriend, Grace." He said. Grace felt happiness rush through her. She held out her hand.
"Hi! Nice to finally meet you." She said.
"Oh! Proper young lady, as well." Said Mrs. Yelnats.
"Mom!" Stanley said, annoyingly.
Finally, Evan, Courtni, Jose, Grace, Hector, and Stanley were driving out of the miserable hole of Camp Green Lake.
"Mom? Dad?" Stanley asked.
"What is it sweetie?" asked Mrs. Yelnats.
"I was wondering. Can Evan, Grace, and Hector live with us? They have no where else to go and they would be on the streets." He said.
"Oh, well, I think we can work something out!" Mr. Yelnats said.
"Oh! Stanley! Thank you." Grace said. "Anything to make you happy, Grace." He said.
Grace just melted. She hadn't felt loved by a family like this in a long time. Evan was always loving, so was Jose, Court, and everyone else. But it's not the same. She was accepted into a family now. A real, true family.
"Thanks man." Said Evan, reaching his hand out to shake Stanley's. Instead, Stanley hugged him. Evan was surprised. "Thanks for being my friend while I was at Camp Green Lake, Evan...everyone!" Stanley said. Grace smiled.
Mr. Sir, The Warden, and all of the other so-called counselors at Camp Green Lake got arrested. The camp got shut down, and was reopened into a Girl Scout Camp 5 months later.
"Evan! Hotdog or burger?" Stanley asked him.
"Uh..is it alright if I have both?" he asked.
"I don't care." Stanley said, smiling. "Cheese or no cheese? That is the question." He said. Grace laughed, Stanley knows how much Grace loves Shakespeare.
"Cheese." Evan said, smiling. They were at the park, having a barbecue. Evan, Hector, and Grace, have been living with the Yelnats for over 2 months now. Court and Jose have been living with Court's family. Hannah decided to stay with them too.
"What about you Hector?" he asked.
"I'll have a burger." He said. "Cheese or no cheese?" he asked. "No cheese." Hector said.
"And Grace? What can I get for you, my sweet?" he asked. Grace laughed again. She loved her life now.
"I'll have a burger please." She said. "With cheese."
"Coming right up." He said. When they were finished eating, Stanley came up to Grace.
"Grace." He said.
"What?" she asked.
"I just wanted to say, I'm having a great time with you." He said. Grace smiled. Then a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Grace, what's the matter?" he asked.
"Oh! No, it's nothing." She said.
"Listen. When people cry, it's always..something. It's never nothing." He said.
Grace smiled. "It's just.the thing is...I'm happy. I've never felt this, loved by so many people at once. It's always been Evan and my sister." She said. "I'm just so happy, that I hope it's not a dream, and I hope that everything won't go away too fast. Like what happened to me before. I don't want that to happen. I want to stay happy like this...forever. With you." She said. "I'm scared of being alone again."
"Oh, Grace, that'll never happen okay?" he said, pulling her into a warm hug. "I will never leave you okay? You are going to grow up, get married, have kids, grow old, and die. You will live and die, feeling loved." He said.
"Oh Stanley." She said. "You are so sweet."
He didn't say anything. He just hugged her tighter. When they were done hugging, Grace said, "I love you."
"I love you twice as much." Stanley said.
Stanley leaned over and kissed Grace softly on the lips. Grace closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment to the fullest.
"Stanley?" Grace asked. "What?" he asked. "Thank you. Thank you for being my friend at Camp Green Lake, for being so tremendously sweet to me all the time, for caring, and for..loving me. Thank you for loving me the way my mom used to love me, and the way Evan and Hannah love me." She said.
"You're welcome Grace. And I won't ever stop." He said. Stanley smiled, and for once, Grace cried tears of happiness.
"Excuse me? I just asked you to hand over the box and I expect you to listen!" yelled the Warden.
"No! It belongs to Stanley." He said.
