The bus went across the bridge slowly as snow began to fall from the sky. It was 5 in the morning, and almost everyone was asleep. Kai was the only one who wasn't sleeping. He looked out the window as the bus slowly made its way on to the road. Beside him was Solo, who was sleeping, her head on his shoulder. Ray, who sat in front of them, had an arm around Saber's waist. Both of them were fast asleep. Max and Terri had lain back against their seats, eyes closed. Tyson, snoring LOUDLY, sat in the front next to Max and Terri, with Lexis' head on his shoulder while his head rested against hers. It was a miracle Lexis didn't wake up through his constant murmuring and snoring.

Kai sighed.

Today would be the last day the two teams will be together again. After going to the airport, they would have to separate. Despite of all they've been through, it was heartbreaking to even think of separating.

He looked down at Solo. Her black and highlighted red hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Her face looked calm and peaceful. The red pendant around her neck shone like fire. He turned his head to look outside the window once more before his eyes finally closed.

They arrived at the airport in 45 minutes. It was still pretty early, and everyone was pretty sleepy. They had already checked in with the airport about their flights and had also had their luggage taken away. Now, both teams had two hours before their planes would take flight.

The Howlers, as well as the Majestics, had already bid each team member goodbye. Solo had a private talk with Leslie. Leslie had discussed that she was going to stay in Russia with the rest of the Howlers' gang so they could continue on with their lives. She thought of changing their name Howler to something else, so that they wouldn't have to remember their tragic past. Solo was going to continue her life with the Wildcats, but both sisters had promised to write to each other from time to time.

Everyone exchanged email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and birthday dates in order to keep in contact.

The Wildcats would continue on with their training. They were to go to England for their next training/study there until Mr. Dickinson had decided that they would go to another place. The entire Bladebreakers team was lucky enough to go to back to Japan and stay there for at least a month before returning home.

"2 hours sure isn't a long time," Terri said when she noticed it was only 1hr before their flight left. They had gone to had breakfast and now, the two teams had split up. Terri and Max were sitting on a bench, looking outside the windows.

Terri sighed. Max put his arm around her and pulled her closer. The hairclip on Terri's hair shone.

"Say," Terri said suddenly. "I have something to give to you." Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a string with a gold heart locket and placed it into his hands. Max held it up by the string, and then looked at it.

"Should I open it?"

"Yes, please do." Max opened the heart-shaped clasp. Inside, side by side, was a picture of him. Next to him, was a picture of Terri. Max smiled, and clasped the chain around his neck.

Nearby Max and Terri was Ray and Saber. They were both listening to Saber's MD player, feet tapping to the rhythm. Ray's hand was around Saber's shoulder.

"Ray, are you sure I'm not too much trouble for-"

"Saber, I've made my decision and I will keep it. Don't worry," he said, smiling a bit. "Everyone's going to turn out okay." He kissed her gently on the mouth. When he released her, Saber reached into her black backpack and pulled out a small package wrapped in red paper. She thrust it into his hands before he could ask anything.

"Don't open it until you get onto the plane, okay?" she told him. Ray nodded.

"Thanks." With Saber's head on his shoulder and Ray's arm around her waist, the two teenagers silently listened to the soft music on the MD player, trying to treasure every second they have before they separate.

Tyson was sitting on a chair when suddenly, somebody covered his eyes.

"Guess who?"

"LEXIS!" Prying her hands off his eyes, Tyson laughed as Lexis sat down in front of him. Lexis looked at him, pink spots starting to form on her cheeks.

"Here. This is for you." She placed a cardboard box in front of Tyson.

Tyson, without waiting a second, carefully took the box and opened the lid. Tick-tocking inside the box was a small red alarm clock.

"OH WOW! Thanks Lexis!" Tyson said gleefully as he gave her a hug. "Now I'll never have to wake up late again!"

"Will you write to me?"

"Are you kidding? Of course I will! I'll never forget you. Maybe someday, we will see each other face to face again. Maybe we can even live together forever. But that all depends on the future now."

"Yeah. . ."

"Flight 29480 is about to depart from Moscow to England within 30 minutes. Passengers, please start to proceed to the terminal. Flight 25344 is also about to depart from Moscow to Japan within 30 minutes. Passengers, please start to proceed to the terminal. Thank you - -"

"Well, I guess this is it." Kai looked into Solo's black eyes, which stared back longingly at him. Solo had given him a framed photograph of him and her as a gift. Tears welled up in Solo's eyes. Kai tilted her chin, then kissed her lovingly just once more. Then they hugged each other tightly, wishing the moment would last just a bit longer.

"I'll never forget you, Kai," Solo murmured. Kai simply nodded. Just as they released each other, the rest of the team members came towards them. The Wildcats stood on one side while the Bladebreakers stood on the other side.

"Well, it sure was nice meeting all of you. We wouldn't have won the Team Pairs Championships if it weren't for your team," Tyson said cheerfully, even though he looked so close to crying.

"I guess I'll have to say the same thing." Lexis extended a hand, which Tyson gladly shook.

"Goodbye Max," Terri whispered, tears down her cheeks.

"Don't cry, Terri," Max whispered back as they hugged.

"Take care, Ray," Saber said as she quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll be coming back for you. Don't go doing anything ballistic," Ray joked. Saber grinned back.

"Thanks for everything," Solo told Kai.

"I won't forget you," Kai promised. Kenny quickly hurried over.

"Say," he said as the two teams started to head to different directions. "Why don't we take a group photo? It's the least we can do to remember this moment."

"Why not?"

"Just remember to send all of us a copy, Mr. D!" Tyson yelled. Everyone laughed as they took their places.

Terri quickly dried her tears as Mr. Dickinson took out a camera. Kai and Solo were standing together on the left. Next to them were Max and Terri. Beside them were Tyson and Lexis. And beside Tyson and Lexis were Ray, Saber, and Kenny. Everyone quickly smiled.

"Ready? Say let it rip!"

"LET IT RIP!"

The flash went off and the picture was taken.

And to this very day, that picture still remained clearly in the memories and hearts of the Wildcats and the Bladebreakers.
