Three months quickly went by since Shendu, his demon brethren and allies, and all magic was banished permanently. Captain Black was impressed with the ingenuity of Lydia and her nieces and asked them to be on call for Section 13, to which they agreed. He was also impressed with Micky's intelligence and promised her that if she ever wished to become a secret agent, Section 13 would gladly take her in at age 16. Section 12 reported that the Taiwanese government handed Chang and Sheila McStone over for captivity and assured that the two would be on the strictest watch. Lydia's mother was safely delivered home to a grateful and relieved Vice Admiral McPeek and Halmoni Hy expressed her happiness and was pleased that the Um Yang globe was gone, never again to offset the world's balance between good and evil. Cassie graduated high school two months prior and reunited with her boyfriend and sisters, who had started their first semester at Stanford. The three girls agreed to help Lydia with her fitness classes every once in a while when they were free. Jackie and Viper were married near the beginning of the month on Chinese New Year, and Lydia and Valmont planned their wedding to be in May. The Ice Crew continued to work in the engineering department at Section 13 and finally got a place of their own not too far from where their girlfriends lived. Life at Section 13 seemed to be normal and more carefree again. For now.
After school one day, Lydia's nieces and Jade came to hang out at Section 13.
"Hey Jade!" Micky exclaimed as she high fived her new best friend.
"Hey Micky!" Jade replied. "You know what it's time for?" she grinned mischievously.
Micky laughed as they both whipped out their GameBoys. "Game time!" she said as the two ran off to play not Robo Mercs (surprisingly) but a game called Supermagical.
Charmaine laughed as she was walking with her boyfriend and her sisters. "Cassie I think those two are bigger game geeks than you are!" she teased.
Cassie laughed. "Not a chance! Me and Ice beat everyone out in that department" she joked as she and Ice kissed.
"So, what do you guys wanna do?" Charmaine asked.
"Me and DJ are gonna work on some remixes for the bball game this weekend" Kaysha said, "The rest of you guys can go make out for all I care."
Cassie laughed out loud. "Oh, and you and DJ won't? I bet you that you guys will spend more time smooching than remixing!" she teased, which made the older Ice Crew couple blush a little.
"Come on pretty girl, let's get to work" DJ Fist said as he and Kaysha walked off.
"I will take you up on the offer to make out if that's what you wanna do, cutie" MC Cobra said flirtatiously as he wrapped his arms around Charmaine and started kissing her neck playfully. She started giggling as Cassie and Ice rolled their eyes.
"Okay you lovebirds, go get a cage!" Cassie exclaimed as she and Ice walked off, being a bit hypocritical with their sarcasm as they started kissing as well.
DJ Fist and Kaysha went to the main lounge to work on their mixes since it was nice and quiet. "So I was thinking we could use remix to play during warm-ups" Kaysha said as she opened her computer and played the remix she put together. DJ Fist smiled at the techno/hip hop crossover that his girlfriend put together.
"I dig it!" he said, "Good for gettin' the players to get up and move!"
"That's what I was thinkin'!" Kaysha replied, "Great that we're on the same wavelength! Alright, what remixes did you put together that we can use during timeouts?"
DJ Fist grinned nervously. "Well uh, there's something I wanna show you first before I play it".
Kaysha looked at him a bit confused. "Uh sure, babe, whatcha got?"
DJ reached into his pocket and pulled out a beautiful silver band with a stunning square shaped diamond on top.
Kaysha gasped in awe as her heart started racing. She couldn't believe what she saw! "DJ..." she said in almost a whisper, "Is...is this...?"
Not letting her finish, DJ Fist took both her hands into his and kneeled down on one knee in front of her. "I love you, Kaysha. You're the greatest girl in the world and I really wanna spend the rest of my life with you. Will...will you m...marry me?" he stuttered.
Kaysha's eyes got wide with excitement. "Oh DJ...yes! Heck yes!" she squealed as she jumped into DJ's arms and kissed his lips. DJ Fist smiled huge as he kissed his sweetheart. He was so nervous about proposing but it was all worth it!
"Hah! See Charmaine, told you they would make out more than they would work!" they heard Cassie's voice say. DJ and Kaysha stopped kissing and laughed as they saw Cassie, Charmaine, Ice and Cobra standing at the door.
"We had a really good reason for it, Cassandra!" Kaysha replied.
Cassie smirked. "Well duh, you love him, of course that's a really good reason!"
Kaysha rolled her eyes at her youngest sister's sarcasm. "No, seriously. We have a really good reason" she exclaimed as she got up and showed her the ring sitting on her left hand.
Cassie and Charmaine stared at it for a moment and then started screaming in excitement. "Oh my gosh! Congrats!" Charmaine said excitedly as she hugged her older sister.
"Wow, you guys are getting married!" Cassie added. "That is a really good reason to make out with him!"
"Congrats bro!" MC Cobra said to DJ Fist as they fist pounded each other.
"Hey hey, what's going on in here?" Lydia asked as she and Valmont walked in as they were randomly passing by, "You're gonna scare a few people around here with your noise!"
Charmaine grinned. "Liddy, Kaysha and DJ are engaged!"
"Engaged?!" Lydia asked surprisingly. "Oh Kaysh, that's wonderful!" she exclaimed as she ran over and hugged her oldest niece.
"Indeed!" Valmont added as he hugged Kaysha as well, "But good heavens you two must want to compete with us then?" he joked.
Kaysha laughed as she wrapped her arms around her fiancé. "Perhapppps" she teased back.
"Man that game is so much fun!" Micky said to Jade as they were walking around Section 13.
"I know, it's mondo coolio!" Jade exclaimed. The two girls were walking until they stopped in front of two people.
"Hi, Micky!" Timothy McStone said to his daughter.
"Dad!" Micky replied as she hugged him and her mom Becky.
"Timmy, welcome back to the States!" Tag said as he walked up and gave him a manly hug.
"Thanks bro, though it won't be for long!" Timothy said, "Come on Micky, let's get your suitcases together and head home! We have a lot of packing to do since the Navy is transferring us to live in Hong Kong."
"Hong Kong?!" Micky asked, "Gosh that's so far away from San Fran!" She turned away sadly as she went to get her suitcases and backpack.
"Bye kid" Cassie said as she hugged Micky once she got her things and came back, "It was great to meet you and hang out with ya! Keep it touch, a'ight?"
"Thanks, I will" Micky replied as she started hugging her new Section 13 friends and her uncle goodbye. She then turned to Jade last and got sadder. "Bye Jade" she said as she hugged her the longest, "I'm gonna miss you so much!"
"I'm gonna miss you too!" Jade replied just as sadly, "You're the best friend I've ever had!"
Tag saw this and almost got teary eyed. The friendship that Micky and Jade developed reminded him of the friendship he and Lydia had.
"Alright honey, let's get going" Timothy said as he and Becky started to leave.
"Hey Tim, hold on a sec, I have an idea" he said out loud to his younger brother, "Micky really likes it here and I would hate for her to have to leave. If it's okay with you, I'd like for here to live here with me."
"Really?!" Micky exclaimed, "Oh mom and dad, can I?! Pleaseeee?!
Timothy and Becky looked surprise for a minute. "Oh! Uh well I don't know, would that make you happy, Micky dear?"
"The happiest!" Micky squealed.
Her parents couldn't help but smile at that. "Okay, you can stay here then." her mother said.
Micky and Jade cheered as they hugged each other, which made everyone who was watching smile. Jackie was especially happy that Jade finally had a good friend her own age!
"Tag, thank you for such a generous offer" Timothy said, "Micky really does seem to be happy here and Beck and I want the best for her! We'll be sure to send her things once we pack up everything back home!"
Tag grinned. "Anytime, bro! I'll be sure she finishes her online school and then get her transferred to public school before the next school year starts. And I can promise you that she'll be in good hands here. Good luck in Hong Kong" he added as he hugged his brother and sister-in-law goodbye.
"Bye Micky dear" Becky said as she hugged her daughter goodbye tightly, "Be a good girl for Uncle Tag and call me and do your homework!"
"I will Mom, I promise!" Micky replied.
Being teary eyed, Micky's parents walked away and left to fly back home to DC. They were sad to move to Hong Kong without their only child but they knew that it would be better off for her to live in San Francisco.
"Alright! It's gonna be so much fun having you live here!" Jade exclaimed.
"I know!" Micky said. She then turned to Tag and hugged him. "Thanks for the best offer ever, Uncle Tag!"
Tag smiled as he hugged her back. "Of course, dear, it's the least I can do after you helped save the world!" he said with a wink.
"You and I have a ton of things to do! Defeat Supermagical, think about how we're gonna be the best secret agents ever-" Jade said as she and Micky took Micky's suitcases and walked off, rambling about all the fun they'll have together.
Jackie laughed. "I hope you're sure about this, Tag. Having two Jades together at the same time could be dangerous!" he joked.
Tag grinned. "But that what makes things so fun around here!" he teased back.
Lydia laughed as she and Valmont hugged. "Well it looks like the beginning of another epic adventure to me!"
