Max and Lisa had been very busy since their last day of high school. They had been busy getting accepted into the colleges and find the accommodation. Max and his friends PJ and Bobby had been very busy getting ready for college and their college dorm rooms for when it was time to start college. And Lisa had been very busy getting herself ready for the college in South Dakota and getting ready to move into her grandmother's house. Once he sorted himself out, Max came over to Lisa's house one day and helped her with her packing. Even if she wasn't going to college, her parents would still sell their house and move into the houses of their other partners and raise their children there, so she would still have to move out. They were all going to move out of the house after the high school graduation.

Then the day for the Spoonerville High School graduation ceremony came. Max and Lisa along with the rest of their friends attended the school one last time. Goofy was there and so did Lisa's parents along with their new partners and their new babes, who were also Lisa's half-siblings. Peg and Pistol came to see to both PJ and Max graduate and so did Pete, who took a lot of forcing from Peg to come to see their only son graduate.

The ceremony started with Principal Mazer's speech about how hard these students have worked to learn what they needed to know for the next stages of life and how they helped make the school as special as it was and what he learnt from them in return. It was a snooze fest and just as boring as the summer vacation speech he made on the last day of school before the summer vacation in 1995. But luckily it didn't last long because when Mazer invited Stacey, who now had the impressive record of being the school's longest serving student body president for all four years she was there, to give out her speech, everybody cheered. She gave her long yet deep, personal and interesting speech about how she was grateful for all the friends she made and everything the teachers taught her and how sharing her high school experience with everyone made it very special to her and how much she will miss each and every one of them. Even the parents of the students were very impressed with Stacey's speech and wasn't with Mazer's. Then it was time to receive for the students to receive their high school diplomas and have their photos taken.

Lisa's parents did congratulate her for completing high school, but their praise felt so empty and no meaning and they seemed more interest in their new partners and new children. But she felt better when Max and her friends congratulated her. That made her feel happier and warmer than her parents. Even the praise from Goofy and Peg and Pete, whom she didn't interact with much, meant so much more to her.

But none of the students were done with school because Stacey was going to throw her final party ever to celebrate their high school graduation. It was a great successful party as usual. Like the eleventh grade party, it was another hot summer's night so she hosted it outside in her massive garden and her cousin, who cooked the barbecue food last party and got promoted to sous chef at the restaurant he worked at, did the same for this party and again it was so successful that they nearly ran out of food. Also like last year, everyone danced to outside or chilled in the big swimming pool.

Sadly, Max and Lisa had a very busy day the next day, so they knew they had to leave the party quite early. So they talked to their friends and wished them a great time in college and a great future. Max said bye to Bobby and PJ, who he would meet a week at his mom's place in Hilton Head Island. Lisa said goodbye to them and wished them well in college and the best future they can have. Then Max and Lisa said goodbye to her best friend Chole and wished her the best of luck in Yale University and a great future.

Then the last person they talked to before they left was the party host Stacey.

"Sorry to leave so soon, Stacey," Lisa said, "but we have to leave very early for South Dakota tomorrow."

"But we did enjoy this amazing party," Max said. "So thank you for inviting us to this and all your amazing parties you hosted."

"Yeah, you're the queen of all parties," Lisa said.

"I would say the goddess of all parties," Max said.

"Thank you," Stacey said. "Thank you very much. And you two especially have been great party guests and great friends. I will miss you guys a lot."

"And I'll miss you too," Lisa said.

"So will I," Max said.

Then the three friends all hugged each other.

"All the best at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

"Yeah, best of luck," Lisa said.

"And good luck in college to the both of you. I'll either call or write letters to you if I can. Let's not be strangers."

"Yeah, let's not," Max said. "Bye, Stacey."

"Bye, Stacey," Lisa said.

"Bye, Max," Stacey said. "Bye, Lisa." Then she took her glasses off and wiped the tears from her eyes as she watched her two of her special friends walk away before she went back to hosting her last high school party ever.

It was lucky Goofy allowed Max to go with Lisa to South Dakota to support her during her grandfather's funeral and to help her move in with her grandmother because he was very helpful. Max promised Goofy that after Lisa gets settled there he would catch the train to Hilton Head Island and meet him, PJ, Peg and Pistol for their vacation. Max arrived at Lisa's house at seven o'clock in the morning and helped to put the cardboard boxes into her green car. It looked like a used car that looked like the type that his former neighbour Pete would sell at his car place, but it was a high school graduation present from her parents and she was grateful for it. And it drove from Spoonerville to South Dakota just fine.

Once they got to Lisa's grandmother house, which was very close to Big Stone Lake, Lisa introduced Max to his grandmother who was a lovely old lady. She felt lonely since her husband died and she was delighted to see Lisa and her boyfriend Max. Then he helped her unload her car, take the boxes into her new bedroom and unpack them. Her new bedroom was much smaller than the one she lived in Spoonerville, but she had just the right amount of room and the bed was very comfy.

Then Lisa's grandmother made a macaroni cheese for dinner, which was delicious. After that, as it was going to be a very busy and emotional day tomorrow, everyone went to bed. But Max and Lisa didn't go to sleep once they were in bed; they had sex to help them unwind after their busy day.
