Author's note: Before I write this chapter, I would like to apologize for any harshness in the last chapter. At the time of writing, I did not think that I was being harsh, as I had been ranting. Now that I've re-read what I said, I must apologize for taking it all out on you guys, as sometimes, in author's notes, I forget that you guys are actually reading them. One of my friends brought up this issue in our chat, making me realize that yes, I was being harsh in the last chapter, especially when I rudely told you guys not to send me messages at night. I hadn't thought that it would come across as rude in any form, as I had been tired and mentioned that I was grumpy at the time. However, now I realize my mistake in that.

I'm also sorry for the gross part in this chapter.

If you are reading this right now and haven't read chapter five, I suggest that you go back and read it, or else you might not understand a few things.

This is now known as the only chapter of a story that I've been able to complete in less than an hour. Perhaps that's because of this chapter's length, however.

The epilogue takes place from Tommy's POV. Oh, my, am I terrible at writing from his POV.

Another Fourth of July!

Epilogue

Tommy's POV

After we saved fire works, the Fourth of July was real great.

Everybody came over to my house, and daddy made barbecue. Once we actually eated it, it tasted real good! My Uncle Drew also made hamburgers, which everyone gotted a bite of. They were real juicy, and mommy only let me eat a half of it.

The real yucky part of it was when Angelica had too much chicken, and she throwed up everywhere. Since nobody wanted this wonderful night to end because of Angelica, our babysitter, Taffy, took care of her. But, Taffy got to eat some chicken too and she had a whole burger, so it was okay for her.

We finished up our chicken and our half a burger, and we all thought it was real good, 'specially Zack and Jesse, which was kinda funny, cuz we didn't the both meet them that long ago. I think they're gonna be the bestest of friends, like me and Chuckie are!

"Wow, Tommy, your daddy sure knows how to make barbecue," Jesse said. Then he burped. "'Scuse me!"

We all giggled at that, and Jesse joined us in on laughing. Then Zack said what he had to say about my daddy's cooking, which, is, like Jesse said, real good.

"I still think that the burgers were better," Zack said. "They were real thick and juicy!"

"Yeah, I liked both!" Kimi said happily.

Kimi's always happy, though, so it wasn't really a surprise. But today everyone was happy… well, maybe 'cept for Angelica, cuz she gotted sick on the Fourth of July and all. She always seems to agree with everyone, too. It's just a part of her, I guess.

Not too long after that, our mommies and daddies came over and picked us up. They gived us each a teddy bear with a flag on it that speaks when you press its tummy. None of us it liked it that much, 'cept for Zack who thought that it could help us learn, Kimi who kinda likes everything, and Lil because it was prettiful.

"I like Wawa better," Chuckie said.

"I like Alphi better," I said.

If you don't know, Alphi is the stuffed bear that Chuckie got me for my secondest birthday. I named him that cuz of a TV show. I wanted the name to be special, like Wawa is.

It turns out that a lot of other babies liked it a lot, since daddy said that a lot of people wanted it. But, I guess that even though I don't really like it, I gotta give my daddy credit for trying.

As the sun went down, we all crawled up the hill, and just smiled at the sky, like I did last year.

And that's when what we all had been waiting for, the fireworks, went off. Since this was Zack's first time seeing them, his eyes went real wide.

"Wow!" Zack said. "Look at them go!"

"Yeah, the first time I sawed them I thought they were kinda scary, but now, thanks to Tommy, I know that they can't reach me," Chuckie said, smiling at me.

"Whoa, I can't wait till we're old enough to set off fireworks!" Kimi said, real happy.

"Me too!" Lil yelled.

"Me three!" Zack said.

"Me… whatever comes after three," Phil said.

And we all laughed, because this was just another perfect holiday!

It looks like we're done with this story. Another multi-chaptered story completed! High five, buddy! *high fives* Anyway, now I'm going on to update my two stories 'Times Between Us' and then 'Moments' before eating dinner. After that, I'll return to answer your messages, watch 'Baby Races,' a show recommended to me by celrock, I'll PM her about it, and then I'm heading off to bed!

So, out of all my stories on my profile, which one would you like me to start next? (I recently finished 'Bad Haircut,' and I'll upload that story in a few days.)
