Begin Epilogue

"Where is my PET Charger?" asked Lan as he frantically searched his room for the device. This was the day that he was supposed to go home, and he didn't pack the night before.

"Did you check your desk?" asked Mega as he helped look. He had been using the hologram program since he woke up so he could help Lan.

"Um, I'll check again," said Lan as he went over and opened all of the drawers. "Found it."

"Where was it?" asked Mega as he stopped looking.

"In the middle drawer," said Lan as he put the charger in his bag.

"Is that all?" asked Mega as he sat down on the bed.

"Yes, I think so," said Lan as he went through his bag to see if he had forgotten anything. "My PET is on my desk, right?"

"Yes, it is. I hope you don't forget that. Did you pack the gateway chip?" asked Mega.

"Yes, it is in my chip folder," said Lan as Jena and Zemmi came into his room.

"Hey Lan, I have a question," said Jena as she walked over to Lan.

"Yeah, what is it?" he asked.

"Can you give this to Yai and Chaud? It is the code to the gateway chip. Which one is in charge of the chip designing?" asked Jena as she handed Lan a disk.

"That would be Yai. Chaud's company makes PETs. Let me put this in my chip folder. That thing is almost indestructible," said Lan as he opened the folder and set the disk in it.

"Do you think that their companies will become partners?" asked Zemmi.

"I don't know," said Mega. "I think that Yai and Chaud like each other, but their fathers hate each other. It's sorta like Romeo and Juliet."

"Yeah, but they would make so much money if they worked together," said Jena.

"Well, maybe when Chaud and Yai are in charge of their companies it will happen, but until then, there is no way on earth that their companies would work together. Are Maylu and Roll ready?" asked Lan as he shut is suitcase and started towards his door.

"Yes, and I think that you are forgetting something," said Mega as he walked over to the hologram button and transferred himself into the net. Zemmi followed him into the net after rolling her eyes at Lan.

"The PET, opps, sorry," said Lan as he ran back and picked up the PET. He took his suitcase and his PET and left the room. He started down the hall when he saw Maylu take her suitcases out of her room.

"Need some help?" asked Jena as she took one of her suitcases for her.

"Thanks," said Maylu as she shifted her duffel on her shoulder. "I see that Lan took less luggage than me."

"Well, my suitcase is bigger than yours. We probably brought about the same amount," said Lan. They followed Jena down the stairs and out front, where Daniel, Ryan, and Joey were waiting by their cars. Lan went over to his car and put his and Maylu's suitcases in the back seat (A/N: I realize that the model could hold two people, but they added the second row when they were building it. I didn't mess up) and opened the passenger's door for Maylu to get in.

"Time to get going," said Mrs. Walker as she walked over to the group of cars. "Here are four bottles of water each. Lan, here are eight for you and Maylu, Jena, here are yours, Joey, Ryan, Daniel, here you go."

"Thanks mom," said Daniel as he went over and put the bottles in his car.

"Bye Mrs. Walker. Thank you for having me and Maylu over," said Lan as he and The Guard got in their cars.

"It was nice having you," said Mr. Walker. "Have a safe trip."

"Bye, everyone, let's go!" said Jena as she turned on her car and lead The Guard out of the area and onto the highway.

"Jena, why are we taking the highway instead of flying?" asked Daniel as they started down the street.

"Because we were asked to do this by the Mayor of Spring yesterday. All we have to do is take off the new bridge. We get to cut the red tape with our cars. It isn't covered, and we should have an easy time doing this. The news crews were told to stand on the side, and we get to ram the tape and take off for Dentech. Here we go," said Jena as they neared the bridge. They got up to 85 and Jena's car sliced through the tape and took off of the crest of the bridge, the rest of The Guard following suit.

"That was easy, now, to fly for two hours straight," said Ryan. "Anyone want to race?"

"No racing. You two almost got in trouble last time, Lan and Daniel," said Jena.

"Fine," said Lan.

"Here, I'll play some music," said Maylu as she popped in one of her CD's.

"When are Lan and Maylu supposed to get here?" asked Dex as he stood in the Sci-Labs parking lot with Chaud, Yai, Tory, Dr. and Mrs. Hikari, Mr. and Mrs. Sakurai, Chief and his assistant, Famous, and news reporters.

"I don't know, but why are all of these news reporters here?" asked Tory.

"Because," Chaud said, "When they left Houston, they opened a bridge by cutting the red tape with their cars. Other than that, I don't know. I think I see Kero."

"I hope they hurry," said Yai. "They said that they were going to be here at noon, and it is eleven fifty." Everyone stood for another five minutes before Famous heard something.

"Is that a racecar I hear?" he asked, and got the attention of all of the news people. They all started their cameras and trained them on the shadows that were The Guard's cars.

"Eleven fifty eight," said Yai as she watched the cars come closer and lower. "Noon." The moment she said that, Jena's car touched down, followed closely by Joey and Ryan in a row, and Daniel and Lan. The cars clutch braked, so when they stopped, Joey's car and Ryan's car were facing each other, and Daniel's car and Lan's car were facing each other, and Jena's car was facing all of the cars. Lan and Ryan's cars were side by side, and Joey and Daniel's cars were side by side.

"Wow, I didn't know that Lan was such a good driver," said Dr. Hikari. Yai, Tory, and Dex started to laugh as everyone got out of their cars.

"Hello Dentech!" said Jena as she walked over to the reporters. "What's with all of the cameras?"

"Dunno," said Joey, "they didn't make this big of a deal when we were here last time as he walked over to his sister.

"Yeah, but we didn't do one of these cool formational landings last time either," said Ryan as he walked over to Joey.

"HEY JENA!" yelled Daniel as he ran over to the group, "Thanks for the heads-up on the landing. 'Oh look, a crowd of people. Let's do a cool landing to ooh and ahh them.' I think that Lan hasn't practiced that in a week!"

"Yeah Jena," said Lan as he and Maylu walked over to the group, "I was lucky that I got my car stopped in time. I nearly hit Ryan."

"Sorry, but you didn't. So, does anyone have any questions?" Jena asked the reporters. The reporters started to bombard Jena, Ryan, and Joey with questions while Lan, Maylu, and Daniel walked over to their friends and family.

"Was that a prepared act that you just did?" asked Chaud.

"Well, yeah. We had to do something cool like that," said Daniel.

"Dad, I just left our stuff in my car because I am going to drive it home," said Lan.

"Hey Lan," said Yai, "I was thinking about inviting all of us, including The Guard, to dinner at a fancy restaurant tonight. Sound good to you?"

"Sure, we can go right after Jena gets off the air," said Daniel.

"Well, I am glad that everything is back to our view of normal," said Maylu. Lan just shook his head and waited for the Guard to finish their interview.

"I just hope that this time things will stay normal," Lan thought as he and the rest of The Guard made it to their cars and followed the pink limo to the restaurant.
