Alex has longed for this day for four years! She will graduate from college with a degree in Education and a minor in Self Defense! She'll have to make some tough decisions very soon, but she would have achieved one of her life goals tonight!
The past four years have been tough! She has never studied harder! But those years have been the most rewarding on a personal level too. She hasn't enjoyed her personal life more, than during these college days!
And Alex surprised herself, at how well she did at BHSU, too! She was no straight 'A' student, but her GPA said she was a 'B' student! In high school, she was lucky to be a 'C' student. She guessed it had to do with studying classes YOU were interested in, rather than what the school required. She excelled in the classes she took for her major!
She begins to think about the upcoming decisions she'll have to make. What job offer does she accept? She'll be living in the area, that's for sure. She has no desire to take a job out of state. She wants to be close to her family, and to Pete!
She has to decide on her WOOHP status as well. That's going to be tough. She won't be on a team with her girlfriends anymore. Sam will probably go out of state to a big Corporation and Clover will probably do the same, to a large media area. If she stays, maybe she can be assigned to Britney's team! It won't be the same as with Sam and Clover, but her best girlfriends won't be there anymore!
With that thought, Alex sits down with a tear in her eye. Sam and Clover! Her best girlfriends! She won't be seeing them much anymore. They've been an integral part of her daily life for the last 17 years, and now they'll be gone! She'll try to stay in touch with them, but it will never be the same! She's going to miss them, deeply!
She'll miss Sam's logic and support. Sammy was always there with a quick hug or a shoulder to cry on. Sam would provide advice, when asked. She could discuss any situation with Sam comfortably. Sam provided a great deal of support to her. She remembers their first meeting; how the bully pushed Sam down, skinning her elbows and knees. Alex was enraged and went right after him! No one hurts her friends!! She is happy Sam seems to have found her true love in Matt. They make a beautiful couple! She'll miss Matt too. But she's really going to miss Sam!
She'll miss Clover's spontaneity and intensity, too. She kept the friends loose with her actions, especially when she was falling for a guy! She kind of misses that, since Clover started dating Clarence. Clarence and Clover are about as opposite as you can get, but they get along real well. She hopes they stay together! Clarence has been good for Clover, and Clover really cares about Clarence! Alex will totally miss Clover too!
And, of course, there is her Pete. She started dating Pete, Senior year in high school, and has kept on here at BHSU. Pete is everything she wants in a man: intelligent, fun, caring, loving, and she thinks he's handsome! She never enjoyed being with a man more than with Pete; they share so much in common! But if she decides to remain a WOOHP field agent, she'll have to turn Pete loose. Alex starts to cry softly. She couldn't subject Pete to the danger of being the soulmate of a spy! Her enemies would try to get to her through him! They would even kill him! She couldn't let that happen; she loved him too much!
Her WOOHP decision will be difficult. She gets a warm, fuzzy feeling from saving the world. Her actions actually make a difference! And Jerry has been a great boss and friend. But what about Pete? Is he more important to her than WOOHP? She needs to decide. Soon.
After thinking over her options, Alex has an initial leaning for her decisions. She has to live with them, so she has to decide what's best for her.
