Rookery screamed a wordless, triumphant cry as he kicked the stone from Frederick's hand and dropped to the floor. He held up his uv cross, making the gathered vampires cower as he made his way toward the stone. Eve's hands balled into fists and she marched up to him. She raised her plastered wrist and back handed him across the face, the plaster coming in handy as a weapon. The pain the shot through her arm was nothing compared to the feeling she got when Rookery staggered back a few feet. Dottie was at Eve side in a second to deliver another blow to his stomach before Bob finally, pushed him off the cliff.
"The stone! Get it Tony!"
Tony dropped to his knees as did El, to search for the stone. El spotted it by an oblivious vampires foot and scrambled forwards. Tony, noticing her sudden excitement, followed. Ellen grabbed at the stone and stood up beside the small blonde boy.
"El, you know what we want, wish it! You have to wish it now."
El paused, staring from Rudolph, to the stone before she finally gave it to Tony, who held it up above his head without question. El ran over to Rudolph who took her hands in his.
"If I wished it then I wouldn't get to say...goodbye." There were tears forming in her eyes and Rudolph ran his thumb across her cheek, cupping her chin in his palm.
"This isn't goodbye, El. I'm coming back, I promise." He pressed his lips to hers in a quick, urgent and needy kiss before pushing her gently back towards Dottie and Bob.

Gregory was watching Eve from his mothers side, longingly. She was stood beside Bob when she finally looked up into his eyes. She saw his need and ran over, keeping her distance.
"I'm have to tell you something." She started. "But I can't tell you."
"Why not?" Frowned Gregory.
"Because if I tell you now then you don't have a reason to come back. So when you get back, I'll tell you." She looked up at the comet, concentrating on saving her tears for when she was safely under her duvet where no-one could see her. "I'll see you, later." Gregory nodded, understanding as he watched her walk back to Bob's side.

Fog started to appear around the ankles of all the vampires, slowly engulfing them until the human family, stood by the jeep, couldn't see them at all. Bob kept his arms around both of the girls as he proudly watched his son, stood with the stone over his head. When the fog disappeared, along with the comet, there was only five people left on the cliff.
"What did you wish for?" Asked Bob, trying to lighten the mood but no one answered. There was no need.

The small family returned to their home in silence, the three children heading straight upstairs. When the girl went to walk into their room, Tony spoke up.
"Hey, why don't you guys sleep in here. Just for tonight." He said it as an invitation, but they all knew it was a plea for company. The three of them walked into Tony's room and climbed into bed, Tony in the middle. Silent tears fell, but it was comfort enough to know they weren't alone in their pain. No one slept that night, not even Dottie and Bob. Everyone was far to pre-occupied with wondering what had become of their friends.

A/n - Ok, don't shoot me. I know how short and un-finished this seems but there is a reason. This fic, is le finished. However, a sequel is on it's way. Maybe even later today :) So to the reviewer that said it seems like it's the end, you were wrong. But a good wrong, so yay :)
