Welcome back everyone. This is it! Enjoy.

Our Ending

The award ceremonies came and sure enough, it was a big deal. While Lee and Tina had decided to get married on that day, Cam was attending the ceremony with Brandy on his arm.

For Basil however it was pure torture. Lee and Tina getting married, Cam attending the award ceremony with Brandy on his arm… What about him? Was there no one for him?

He thought about this the whole way as he drove Cam and Brandy to the award ceremony. It just wasn't fair. Just for once Basil would like to know a girl's affection, a girl's kiss, he had never known a girl's love. Maybe Lee and Tina would buy a place with an apartment over the garage where he could grow old? He doubted it. There was no hope for him.

Basil pulled the car over and leaned over the steering wheel, tears coming from his eyes.

"Basil?" Cam leaned over and put a hand on Basil's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"No!" Basil didn't even turn to look at Cam. "Nobody loves me!"

Brandy swallowed nervously. She had never seen Basil in this state, no one had. "Basil, you know I love you." Basil then turned to look at Brandy. "Like a brother, of course!"

Basil just turned back to the wheel and returned to his weeping. "Twinkieless Dick said I'd be better off chasing after horses than girls! That really hurt!"

Brandy gasped. "Is that true?"

Basil turned to once again to face Cam and Brandy. "Yes, it's true. Dick has no twinkie." Cam snickered like a schoolboy. There was something truly funny about what Basil had said.

As he finished snickering, Cam put a hand on Basil's shoulder. "Basil, have you just given up?" Basil nodded. "You haven't tried to meet anyone?" Basil nodded again. "What if I were to tell you that I have a friend named Cherie Burlyn who has a huge crush on you?"

Basil turned his head to look at Brandy. "Shouldn't you be the one saying that?" Brandy just shrugged, Basil looked at Cam. "I'd say bring me to her!"

"Alright then, buddy, lets go!"

Basil turned to the wheel, ready to go and meet Cherie Burlyn. He then turned back and looked at Cam and Brandy. He seemed to be doing a lot of that at the moment. "What about the award ceremony?"

Brandy shrugged. "If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose."

The German-Irish-Canadian nodded. "Okay, sound logic!"

And with that, the three didn't go to the award ceremony. "The Voodoo Tragedy" won the awards it had been nominated for even if those required to show up didn't.

As for the various people in this story, most of them left the motion picture business. Lee became a detective, Cam went into politics, Holger did something, Biffy did something, Tina became a reporter, Brandy opened a bakery and Basil? He returned to the stage where he became greatly respected. Chaz moved to India where he had a big fan base and continued with his acting career. Brad married a girl named Jenny Jerkins and they moved to Turkey where Brad had a big fan base. Dick himself also moved to a country where he had a big fan base: Italy. He later died during World War II. As for Chaz and Brad, they survived the war just like everyone else but they were ultimately forgotten in the west.

Lee, Tina and thire friends went on to have families and successful careers. Although they would never return to the film industry, they had fond memories of their days at A. Nigma studios, which sadly closed in 1948. The studio was torn down to make way for a complex of apartment buildings two years later.

The motion picture business was over for them. Did they care? Not really. They were fine to move on.
