A few months later

Finn felt the familiar tingling sensation sail through his body as a smile came across his face. Finn turned around and saw the castle and all its beauty. He didn't notice he was staring until he heard behind him, "Sup Finn." Finn glanced around and saw the one and only Maybeck.

"Hey" he nodded.

"You the only one here?" Maybeck asked, curious about his girlfriend's arrival.

"It seems so" Finn shrugged. Wayne had contacted him and the others, besides Amanda and Jess since they'd both moved, about getting together in the park.

"Why do you think Wayne wanted us here tonight?" Maybeck asked.

"I don't really know."

"Maybe its because we're all moving on soon. For example, we're leaving tomorrow" Charlene said as she hugged Maybeck from behind and kissed his neck, causing him to blush furiously.

Maybeck turned and grabbed Charlene and spun her around. "Hey!" he exclaimed, clearly excited to see her.

Finn leaned up against a light post to watch this couple reunite. Charlene had been at cheerleading camp for two weeks and Finn got to witness the Maybeck depression. He couldn't help but smile at how happy they looked in each other's embrace. Finn put his head down as he thought of Amanda. She'd been gone for over two months already, and he missed her every day since she got on the bus. Since he'd proposed, the distance between them didn't seem as far no matter how much they'd wish they were together. There was something about being promised to each other that made Finn feel closer to Amanda, even if she was thousand miles away.

"I'll bet she misses you just as much" a voice whispered behind Finn. He smiled as he turned around to see Willa, who'd acted as a mother figure that had been watched over him since Amanda had left.

Finn chuckled, "How'd you know?"

"I can tell by the look on your face, and the fact that the love birds have reunited" she giggled. Willa put her hand on his shoulder, "I know you wish she could be here right now."

"Is it that obvious?" Finn glanced up at Willa.

"Oh honey, we all can tell, even when you can't."

"Thanks Willa" Finn said as he hugged her.

"Hey, you got one for me too?" Philby said as he appeared.

Willa pulled away from Finn, giving him a reassuring smile before hugging her boyfriend. Finn was able to smile when seeing this for it was a miracle they made it through to graduation after all that went on.

As Finn watched the couples in their embraces, he looked around for Wayne who happened to be coming from Tomorrowland. "How are you doing Finn?"

"Good, you know, I survived graduation and…other stuff" Finn shrugged and grinned.

"I miss her too," Wayne said.

Finn chuckled, "How is it everyone can magically read my mind tonight?"

"It's written all over your face."

"I've been told" Finn said as he glanced at Willa and Philby still wrapped in a hug.

"I've noticed Willa and the way she watches over you" Wayne said.

"I'll never be able to repay her for all she's done for me this year with Amanda leaving."

"She's your friend, it's what friends do" Wayne said, "I'm so proud of you all and how you've grown up over the years."

"It's pretty great" Finn looked at Wayne, "They're the greatest friends I'll ever have."

"And that's why I asked you five to come to the parks tonight."

"Hey Wayne" Maybeck waved as he finally started paying attention to someone other that the girl still wrapped in his arms.

"Donnie" Wayne acknowledged, "Keepers, you're probably wondering why I asked you all to come here."

"You mean it wasn't so I could see this beautiful girl for the first time in weeks?" Maybeck grinned like an idiot while Charlene playfully slapped him.

Wayne smiled, "Whatever you wish to believe," he said while winking at Charlene who giggled.

"I know the last few months have hit you all pretty hard. Well, the last year has been an adventure, especially with prom from the stories I've heard from Amanda. I'm so immensely proud of this group and how you've all back each other up when times got bad." Wayne paused while the Keepers all smiled at each other.

"That's how I chose who would be the five to represent the DHI program. Don't ask me how, but I knew when I first saw you all together, how this would all work out." He grinned as he looked at Philby and Willa. "You two were the smart school geeks. I had an inkling that if your future was anything to do with the way Philby looked at you Willa, I knew it'd be great."

"Charlene" Wayne said, glancing at the couple, "You played quite the amazing role on prom night. They couldn't have done it without you. But I can honestly say I didn't know you and Maybeck would happen."

Finn couldn't help but crack up, "Wayne, nobody saw that coming."

Everybody laughed as Wayne drew his attention to Finn, "Finn, I knew from the minute I saw the way you treated Amanda, that you were the perfect person I could ever wish for to be with her. For all you've done and how you've cared for her, I've never been more proud of you."

Finn looked up and smiled, "I love her. She's made my life worth waking up every morning. Thank you by the way." Wayne nodded and smiled.

"For what?" Willa asked.

"He gave me permission to ask Amanda to marry me" Finn grinned.

"I would've been stupid to say no" Wayne smiled.

"I still can't believe you two are engaged" Charlene said, "It's so amazing."

"We are engaged, but not officially. We're promised to each other," Finn said.

"It's still adorable" Willa said.

"Thanks" Finn blushed.

"You see what I mean? Watching you all grow into the adults you are today as been an honor," Wayne said.

"Thank you Wayne, for everything. For picking us five and helping us grow, even if you weren't here all the time, you still were watching over us." Philby said.

A round of thanks passed through the five friends before Wayne continued his speech.

"You're welcome. Thank you also. Another reason I asked you all here is because, I'm shutting down the DHI program."

"What?" Willa and Charlene said at the same time the guys yelled "No way!"

"What do you mean you're shutting it down?" Finn asked once they all calmed down.

"Just like that, I'm shutting it down."

"But why?" Maybeck asked.

"You're all moving on and or moving away. It's time to let it go" Wayne said sadly.

"What if we don't want too?" Charlene said quietly.

Wayne gave her a compassionate smile, "But it's time."

"He's right" Finn agreed, also as quiet as Charlene.

"I know, I just don't want to believe it" Willa said. Maybeck and Philby comforted their girlfriends.

"I hope you understand that this is the best way," Wayne said.

"We do" Charlene agreed even if she started getting a little choked up as the rest of them nodded.

"I wish you the best of luck in the next step toward your futures." Everybody smiled and nodded in thanks. "Are you all ready?" he asked as he held the fob in his hand. Finn wiped his eyes as the rest of the Keepers did the same, even Maybeck. They came together in a circle and held each other's hand.

"I love you all" Wayne smiled as he raised the fob, "Here's to moving on."

There's one more chapter in this story! Please comment; it was really hard to write this chapter. -Amanda

Also, as a side note, what'd you think about Finn having a special friendship with Willa? I realized I had started writing it like that in the beginning of this story but I just now started getting more into it. I personally love it, but I'd like to hear what you think about that particular part too. :)
