AN: Ok I decided to do an epilog because I'm having trouble finding an idea for another story and a lot of people wanted one, so here it is. Thanks to all of my reviewers! I made a reference to some of my other stories. They are just experiences 009 has had. No biggy.
"Read 'em and weep boys!" 002 neatly spread his hand of cards out on the table where the team was playing poker. 003 had gone in to the lounge to rest and Dr. Gilmore was quietly observing the rest of the team's card game.
"How did you get all of the aces AGAIN?" 004 exclaimed.
"I'm just that good." 002 boasted as he leant back in his chair and folded his hands behind his head. 007 glowered and whispered to 008.
"I think he cheats. Mr. Hot shot gang member." 008 snickered and 002 snapped his head around to look at 007.
"HEY! I heard that and I DO NOT cheat!!"
"Than how do you explain getting all of the aces three bloody games in a row?" 007 retorted teasingly.
"Why you..." 002 glared. 007 grinned and stuck his tongue out at the hot tempered young Cyborg. 002 got up from his chair and began to chase him around the room. "Come back here you British idiot!" 007 laughed openly and turned into a mouse making it harder for 002 to catch him. The whole table chuckled with amusement.
"Come one you two, cut it out!" Dr. Gilmore sighed. The mouse turned back into a smirking 007 and 002 stomped back to his chair and sat down with a scowl on his face.
"Come on let's play again." 005 suggested.
"Fine by me!" 008 agreed. He began to pass out the cards and soon the scuffle between 002 and 007 was forgotten.
"Count me out 008 I'm going to go check on 003" 009 said.
"Alrighty" 009 rose and walked to the lounge. 003 was curled up on a couch which sat against the left wall. She was fast asleep with a few strands of golden hair across her pretty face. 009 smiled and lifted her head so he could sit down, and when he had her head rested in his lap. He gently smoothed her hair and leant his own head back against the couch and closed his eyes. The ship's placid rocking lulled him to sleep as well. His dreams were an odd mixture of past experiences: Pierre, 003's old boyfriend's, sudden appearance and death, comforting her when she came back from France, seeing 0010 explode when he touched his brother. It was odd, the combination of happy and agonizing memories. He didn't know how long he was asleep but he woke up to the soft touch of 003 rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." he gave her a kind smile.
"You didn't do anything, it's fine." She smiled back at him and closed her eyes again, sighing contentedly. 009 brushed a few loose strands of hair away from her china face.
"001 is right; I have gained something more than I had before."
"What's that?" she asked as her emerald eyes gazed up at him from where her head still lay on his lap.
"You." he replied softly. She couldn't reply for he leant down and kissed her, gently caressing her neck with is fingers. She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed back happily.
"KODAK MOMENT!!" 002 shouted. A flash immediately followed the exclamation. 009 and 003 hurriedly sat up and rubbed their eyes. When they could finally see, 007 was grinning behind a small camera.
"HEY!" 002 and 007 bolted away from the door yelling,
"HEY GUYS WAIT 'TILL YOU SEE THE PICTURE WE JUST TOOK!"
"GET BACK HERE!" 009 clicked his accelerator and was gone. 003 quickly ran after the pranksters, and the pursuer, laughing all the while. 'This will be one day 007 will never forget.' she thought as she watched 009 shake the poor British Cyborg violently by the shoulders and 002 wince as he sat down in a chair.
"They'll definitely never forget it." she said aloud.
"The thrashing 009 just gave me? Forget it?? It's branded on my brain!" Dr. Gilmore and the rest of the Cyborgs laughed heartily.
"Give me the stupid camera!" 009 ordered as he continued to shake 007.
"Here....You....Go!!" 007 wheezed as he lifted the camera up to 009, who quickly snatched it away. "Go sit next to 002"
"What? Why?"
"Just do it." 007 quickly complied and looked back at 009 from his seat. 009 lifted the camera up to his eye. "I think I'll call this picture 'Sweet Revenge'"
"No I don't want my picture taken!!" 002 exclaimed.
"Sweet, sweet revenge..."
CLICK.
Ok that's the end of this story. I tried to make it good humored after all the semi depressing chapters before, though I hope it didn't seem a little stupid. I also hope you guys come back for my next story if I ever think of one!
