All right...now to get to the epilogue. I made my goal by finishing the whole thing before Friday!! Yes!!

But first, a few shout-outs:

To Graymoon 74 (for chapter 19): Don't worry, they can always get Jekyll drunk enough. Drinking's his guilty pleasure, remember? And I agree, he TOTALLY needs to take a chill pill.

To Ares: No, the epilogue is not the wedding, but there will be a sequel (or is it a 'cinquel?' It's the fifth episode in the McCane/ Linoge series.)

To Etcetera Kit: 1) The tequila was Ares' idea. 2) Henry doesn't want Mina to drink with them because he's very concerned for her well-being. She is his future wife, after all. SHE could have been the one hit over the head with the table! 3) PlayVamp was just for fun. 4) Hyde as shark bait? No, I think the sharks would be Hyde bait! 5) NO JAIL CAN HOLD EDWARD HYDE. 6) Yes, you are sensing a Donna/ Sawyer romance. 7) That's all I have to say.

To Graymoon 74 (for chapter 20): Hyde's a big boy. He can look after himself (the League thinks so, anyway. I'm not too sure.) And yes, Jekyll will be VERY pissed off!!!

To Graymoon 74 (for chapter 21): If that were on MY ship, I would not have ordered Dorian a funeral. I would have just thrown him overboard for the sharks. But sadly, I don't own the Nautilus OR Dorian OR Nemo OR the sharks. Boo.

To Graymoon 74 (for chapter 22): Don't worry, I'll be sure to write more when this is over.

To galabalesh: Okay, so...refresh my memory. What were we talking about again? (The movie plot is awesome, by the way, but I've forgotten what it's for.)

To Dr. Griffin: 1) Is Sethy speechless, or just stupid? Sethy's the eggplant, right? 2) Why is Hellboy screaming for his pancakes? This chapter had nothing to do with pancakes. Are Sethy and Hellboy related? 3) "A!" That was funny. Anyway, glad you liked the chapter.

To Silent Bob 546: Don't worry, it doesn't end here! There's going to be a "cinquel" (see what I wrote to Ares.) And about Hyde being best man...when Hyde asks, NOBODY refuses him. So there.

And here's the epilogue. It's short, I know, but there's really nothing else to say. It just tells what happens after the story ends...

*

ANDRE McCANE and DONNA ANDERSEN broke up a few weeks after Henry and Mina announced their engagement; they just didn't have any chemistry. McCane is looking for another girlfriend (I wonder who he'll find this time,) and Donna has started to date Tom Sawyer.

After being hit on the head with a card table, TOM SAWYER has given up drinking alcohol, and has vowed to stay away from Edward Hyde whenever HE is drinking alcohol. He is still upset over losing Mina to Dr. Jekyll, but has started to date Donna Andersen instead.

RODNEY SKINNER hasn't changed. Rodney Skinner will never change. But he and Hyde are beginning to plan a bachelor party for Henry Jekyll. Jekyll's kind of scared (and nobody blames him.)

NEMO is glad that Dorian is gone, but is starting to have second thoughts about the funeral. Maybe Henry was right; they should have thrown Dorian overboard to the sharks after all. Oh, well. At least Dorian's finally gone, right?

Like he promised, EDWARD HYDE has started to hang around SIMON LINOGE now that he has his own body. Simon has started to show Hyde the error of his violent, evil ways, and suggested to Hyde that he become a priest. Hyde rejected the idea, because Henry Jekyll would absolutely refuse to have Edward Hyde preside over his wedding (wouldn't you?)

Because she set them up in the first place, BATSIE LINOGE was asked by Henry and Mina to be the Maid of Honor at their wedding. She's also using her talents as a seamstress to make Mina's wedding dress.

As for the future husband and wife, Mina and Henry...

MINA HARKER is thrilled at having a second husband. Lovestuck and excited, she spends her days knitting in her rocking chair, and her nights dreaming of her wedding. She's starting to look for a house in London that she and Henry can move into after the wedding-- any house in London but Dorian's old house, that is.

And HENRY JEKYLL'S dreams have finally come true. He got rid of his alter ego and got himself a girl. He's still afraid that Mina will meet the same fate as his Emma, but Hyde swore that he would do no harm to Mina. When he's not working in his laboratory, Henry plans his wedding with Mina. They plan to marry aboard the Nautilus.

Henry Jekyll's dreams have survived the drama.

There, just a short ending note on what happened to everyone.

And for anybody who's wondering what's going to happen next in this series, the next story will [probably] be about Henry and Mina's wedding. Weddings are always fun to write about.

So, how did you like the story in general? Are you pleased with the way in turned out? Remember to REVIEW!!!

Infinitely yours,
