A/N: The final chapter of When The Rain Falls! Watch for a Christmas special soon…I should have it up in a few days. Then an actual sequel will be posted! The lyrics are from the DDR SuperNOVA version of Come Clean. And for my anonymous reviewer…Lewa did go to the hospital. So did Gali, because she fainted. Are you ready? Here we go!

------WHEN THE RAIN FALLS

Chapter 11: Until Next Time…

Gali awoke in a hospital bed. She had a bit of a headache, but otherwise, felt fine.

"You're finally awake," a voice said weakly.

"Wha?" Gali gasped, spinning around. In a bed next to her was Lewa. He had a bandage on his head that had a large bloodstain.

"Lewa, what happened?" Gali asked, worried.

Lewa grinned. "Don't spaz, I'm going to be alright. Makuta butted me with his gun when I got really angry."

A doctor walked into the room.

"Feeling better, Gali?" He asked with a smile. "You'll be out of here in a few hours. However…" he turned to Lewa. "You must stay for a few more weeks. The head trauma you received wasn't too bad, but it'll be a while for it to heal completely. Those lacerations weren't pretty."

Lewa nodded and Gali sighed. She had no idea what a laceration was, but it was good that Lewa would be fine. Looking out of the window, she could see that it was still night outside, probably early morning. She checked her watch. 5:00 am. Right.

"I'll see you in a few weeks, huh Gali?"

"Yeah," she murmured.

At 8:00, her parents came and she began to get ready to leave. As she got up, she thought she felt a small thump in her backpack, but when she looked, Lewa was sleeping.

As she left, she checked her backpack. In it, she found Lewa's iPod. The headphones were unplugged from it and the iPod was paused. Gali plugged them back in, placed them in her ears, and pushed PLAY. She recognized the music and saw the meaning to it.

Let the rain fall down

And wake my dreams.

Let it wash away

my sanity.

'Cause I want to feel the thunder.

I want to scream.

Let the rain fall down.

I'm coming clean…

Gali silently shed tears as she realized what they had just gone through. It seemed like an eternity ago but it had all happened last night.

Noticing her tears, Gali's mothers said, "Gali? Why don't we cheer you up with some early Christmas shopping."

Gali smile and wiped her face. She changed the song on the iPod to DoLL, and thought about the last few days.

Later that week, Pohatu and Onua awoke to a new Saturday. They had been mauled by reporters and journalists and the like. They were glad for a rest.

"There's a new game out," Pohatu said. "It's called ThrillVille. It pretty much bends all aspects of a theme park sim into a party game."

Onua laughed. "I can take a hint Pohatu. Ok, we have a lot of money from the funds dad gave us. Turns out there was a lot more embezzlement than he thought."

They left on their bikes for the mall, and entered the video game store. Surprisingly, Kopaka was there.

"Kopaka?" Pohatu said in disbelief. "I thought you hated video games!"

Kopaka smiled and said, "I got a PS2 from my aunt as an early Christmas present. Figured I'd try it out."

Onua help up a hand for a high-five. Kopaka slapped it.

"Welcome to the video gamers' world, Kopaka Visimi," Onua said.

They picked out some games, and left for the food court.

"Hey guys," Pohatu whispered. "Isn't that Tahu?"

"Hey, Tahu!" Onua yelled.

A boy in an unmistakable orange hoodie spun around and saw the three boys.

"Hi guys," Tahu said, setting down his food.

"What'd you get?" Kopaka said, eyeing the bag Tahu was carrying.

"A 360 for myself," Tahu said. Then he rolled his eyes and sighed. "You have no idea what you have to go through to get one."

"Four years of allowance, a month of begging, and another year waiting in line?"

"You pretty much got it."

Everyone laughed and began eating, discussing their purchases as they ate. Suddenly, they saw someone else walk into the food court. She walked over to the McDonald's booth and placed an order.

"No!" Tahu said in disbelief. Gali Riviera had just walked in.

She spotted them and almost dropped her tray.

After she had paid, she walked to their table and asked, "What the heck is going on here?"

"We're all at the same place on the same day at the same time," Kopaka said with a hint of a grin.

"Now all we need is Lewa," Onua said, looking around."

"Where is he? If we really want something weird he has to come." Pohatu chimed in.

"Not going to happen!" Gali almost laughed. "He's in the hospital for the next few weeks remember?"

Kopaka shook his head and took another bite out of his burger.

It would be a long winter.

So until next time…

Ending Notes: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I can't believe the story is over! It started with an inspiration from KinoLadyOfTheDivine's Empires, and ended with this! Get ready for a holiday special and a sequel. Also…New project! It will be about four kids (me, and my friends Nick, Nikki, and Anthony) getting blown into Silent Hill 2! OMG! It may take off like this…or it may not. I dunno. All I know is that this is one of the best stories I have EVER WRITTEN!!!!! Thanks so much to KinoLadyOfTheDivine for inspiration and EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA thanks to my anonymous reviewer who supplied me with plenty of ideas for this story. Also, if anyone found this confusing…I'm not very good at tying up stories in neat little bows. My endings tend to be weak. Anyways, until next time…
