This is a very small chapter, I know. I still hope you enjoy this last piece of Sunset On Arisio. Please read the notes at the end! And now... Enjoy!


After making a pitstop on Savali to return the Comet Shard, the two Lombaxes and their robo pals are back on Sargasso. "Finally… Some peace." Rivet says with a big smile while she and Ratchet walk towards her home. "I hope so." Ratchet adds. As they enter her home, both of them look at the wall which was destroyed again. Rivet sighs. "Again lots of work I guess."

Ratchet looks at her for a while before he steps in front of her. He gently wraps his arm around her back to pull her close. She giggles a little while looking him deep into the eyes. "Or maybe… It's time to move." Ratchet says with a loving smile. "Somewhere bigger with more room for us." he adds. Rivet smiles at him. "That sounds like a good idea." she says quietly before they lean in for a gentle and loving kiss.

Clank and Kit watch them before Clank looks towards her. "I think this means we're going to be roommates." he says. Kit blinks. "Oh. This sounds wonderful." she smiles at the silver robot. "Indeed." he nods and looks back at the two Lombaxes.

They enjoy each other's embrace for a while until they let go of each other. "So uh… Where to go?" Rivet asks. Ratchet crosses his arms in front of his chest while he looks up at the ceiling. "Hmm… I don't actually know." he sighs. Rivet looks at him with a soft smile. "What about… Megalopolis?" she suggests.

Ratchet looks at her surprised. "You mean… Megalopolis? The one in my dimension?" he asks. She nods. "I mean… If this is okay with you." she adds as she sits down on the couch. Ratchet looks at her deep in thought. He sits down next to her. "Are you sure?" he asks.

Rivet nods. "I am. If something happens here… They can contact us." she says with a smile. Ratchet nods. "True." He looks around. "You know what?" he asks while he stands up again, looking at her with a big smile. Rivet looks at him confused. "What?" she asks. "We'll pack your things right now. And tomorrow… We will go to my place and look for a place just for us." he says while landing her his hands to help her stand up. She looks at him with big eyes. She smiles and takes his hands while standing up. "That's sudden but… I'm in." she says.

Clank and Kit look at each other again. "It seems it happens sooner than expected." Clank says. "Yes. But… That is okay, right?" Kit asks to which Clank nods. "It is. Ratchet is always quick to act. So this should be no surprise." he says. "We should help them." Kit says while she walks towards Rivet with Clank right behind her. "We would like to help." She says. Rivet looks down at her with a smile. "Alright. I don't have much… Maybe you two could pack up uhh... " she looks around. "Ah! My clothes." she points towards a shelf. The two robots nod as they make their way to the shelf.

Rivet smiles as she watches everyone help to pack things up. Rivet doesn't have much so they're quickly finished. She sits down on the couch and looks towards her destroyed wall. Ratchet patched it with a non-transparent forcefield for the night. The moment he sits down on the couch, she snuggles into him. He smiles and puts his right arm around her. "Now we can relax." he says with a sigh.

The two robots look at the two lovers. "Hmm…" Clank places his hand at his chin. "I guess I will check the load and get the ship ready for tomorrow. Don't wait for me, I'll stay at the ship overnight." he suddenly says. The two Lombaxes look at him confused. "Uhm… Alright, pal. Guess we'll see you tomorrow then?" Ratchet says. "Of course. Have a good night you two." he says while looking at Kit. "Would you accompany me?" he asks. Kit also looks confused but nods. "Sure." she says before the two robots leave.

Rivet frowns. "What was that about?" she asks. Ratchet shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe he has a surprise planned or something like that." he says. "Anyway…" he continues. "It's getting late. Shall we go to sleep?" he asks. Rivet nods. "Yeah." she says while she stands up.

She goes over to the bed, removing her jumpsuit to get comfortable. Suddenly Ratchet wraps his arm around her. "Huh?" she asks before she gets turned around only to get a loving kiss. She closes her eyes as she lets herself get pushed onto the bed as the two Lombaxes share a night of passion and love.

The next morning, Ratchet wakes first. He yawns a little before he looks at Rivet. She rests her head on his chest, tightly holding on to him. He smiles softly as he gently strokes her back. She smiles in her sleep before she slowly opens her eyes. She sits up and stretches a bit before she looks at Ratchet.

"Good morning." he says with a loving smile. "Morning." she says before she lays down back onto him gently caressing his chest. "I could wake up like this every morning." she says. "With me at your side?" he asks to which Rivet nods. "Yep." she smiles. "But we'll have to get up eventually." he says. "Yeah… Today's a big day." she sighs. "I need to say goodbye to the Morts. I'll miss them." she says while she sits up again. "We'll visit them as often as you like." Ratchet says as he also sits up and gets out of the bed.

She watches him as he gets dressed before she gets dressed herself. She looks around her soon to be old home. Her ears drop a little plaintive. Ratchet notices and places his hand on her shoulder. She looks at him and smiles while she raises her ears again. She nuzzles his nose as she hugs him. "I'm happy to build a future with you." she whispers. "Me too." he answers. He smiles and points towards the door. They leave her old home and visit the Morts. They're sad to watch her longtime friend leave, but they're also happy for her.

Rivet sits down in her ship as she starts it up. Ratchet uses the real Dimensionator to open a rift to his dimension as Rivet flys through into her new home and her new future.


"This is the end

Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen"

Thank you very much for reading my first attempt on a story ever. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Well... I may lied a little with the lyrics there. This is NOT the End. I will write a ne story following the events of this one. And maybe some new projects. We'll see. But this is not the last thing you hear of me. And definitely not the last thing I write about Ratchet and Rivet.

Until then, dear friends. Have a wonderful time. I'll post the new story as soon as possible!
