A/N: Please forgive me as I allow myself to rant and rave for moment. I officially hate my movie theater. I swear they never keep their movies running for more than 4 weeks or so, unless it's a bad movie, oh no, then they keep them for what seems like forever. And because of this little factor, I have been screwed out of seeing 3 movies that I had been dying to see. First Movie: Troy. My dad told me he would take me, but then forgot, then didn't have the money one week, and by the time we finally had set plans, they weren't showing it anymore, and the amount of time they kept it playing, 4 weeks! Second Movie: King Arthur. I finally got my dad to promise he would take me, so I went to get the playing time off line and they don't play it anymore, again, 4 weeks! So I suggested The Notebook instead, but of course they're not playing that one anymore either. I swear I'm gonna blow that place up one day. But on the bright side, we went to see Collateral, and it was good, a tad slow, but good. But still, I'm very mad. Anyways, that's all I have to say, so enjoy the end of the story.

Epilogue
Six Years Later
Lucy drove up to the state hospital and parked in her usual 'visitor's parking' parking space. It was Tuesday, and Tuesdays' were her favorite. Today she would be able to take Mort outside to talk, instead of having to be cooped up in the room with a orderly observing them in the corner in case Mort had an 'outburst'.
Lucy let out a little growl of annoyance at this thought. Honestly, he had never shown any signs of violence, so why did they insist on watching him like a hawk? She couldn't really complain though, they were just doing their job afterall. She couldn't rightfully judge them on that.
It had been six years since Mort had agreed to come get the help he needed, and it was doing wonders for him. He hadn't had visions of people who didn't exist, and he hadn't had any nightmares in almost two years. The doctor had told Lucy that if Mort continued to progress this way, he could possibly be considered for release within the year. This thought had sent butterflies to Lucy's stomach. Her and Mort had grown a very close friendship over the years since their road trip together, and they even had plans for Mort to move in with her when the day came that he could go home.
Besides this, other aspects in Lucy's life had been going better as well. Mort taking the road to recovery to better his life made her realize that it was time to shape up things with her own life. She moved out of her crap apartment and got a new apartment in a better neighborhood and decorated it up so it wasn't so gloomy, like the last one. She even got a nice job doing something she loved, working at the local animal shelter. And now she had a Tabby cat that she named Chico, after a request from Mort.
Yup, things were going good these days. She would come by every morning for a few hours before work to visit Mort, seeing as how she didn't start till the afternoon, and they would just sit and talk about anything and everything. Life was great for both parties.
Lucy walked to the visiting room where she saw Mort sitting at the table waiting for her. He looked up when he heard footsteps and smiled when he saw her, which she returned.
"Hey handsome." she greeted.
"Hi."
"Ready for a walk?"
"Sounds good." he answered, standing up.
"Good."
And so the two took their routine stroll through the courtyard, just enjoying eachother's company, just as they would for years to come.
A/N: Well that's it. I was watching Slingblade a few days ago and that's where I got the idea for this chapter from. Well for the final time, thank you one and all for the reviews, I love you all like family. Ta-ta!
