A/N: So we have finally reached the end of this fic. I would like to thank everyone who reviews, read, followed, and faved this fic. This was definitely an adventure for me being the first SYOC I have written. Thank you for all the characters that you created. I have enjoyed writing every single one of them. Part of me actually will miss them, but all things must have an end. I don't say this often; I love y'all guys. This ended a little happier than I had originally thought it would, but I enjoy it a lot, so please have fun for the final chapter for this fic.

*Edit* Oh my gosh, I forgot to finish up Abigail's section. I can't believe no one called me out on it. Thanks, I guess, but I feel so bad.

"You know you are not doing yourself any favors by moping around here," the ghost's motherly tone stated to the female ghost perched on a short Grecian pillar.

"I'm not moping, Pandora," the ghost said barely shifting her ruby eyes toward the four-armed ghost. The ancient ghost had one pair on her hips and the other pair crossed. Pandora was clearly not believing her or perhaps she was upset that she was 'moping' in her lair.

"You've been wandering my lair for the past month and the month before that you were trudging around the Ghost Zone. Sounds like moping to me, Catalina," Pandora said her voice had a little edge to it.

"Don't call me that," Catalina hissed bearing her fangs. "She is dead," she added with a mumble wrapping her blue arms around her. Pandora softened her gaze slightly at the pain in the other's voice.

"Have you tried talking to them?" Pandora asked. Catalina shook her head slowly. "They won't care that you are a ghost. It is just a transition; you are still you," Pandora comforted putting a hand on the smaller woman's shoulder. Catalina gave her a scoff but didn't add more. "We all went through the exact same existential crisis and we came to terms with it," Pandora stated. Catalina sighed putting her head in her hands.

"I guess, I can go see them one last time," Catalina said floating off of the pillar. Pandora sighed feeling like the former halfa wasn't understanding her, but hopeful that the others would help. "I will see you around or not," Catalina shrugged, "either way is fine." Pandora watched as the other flew away and wondered if she should have kept her here and brought the halfas to her.

Leon felt a little crowded in the mansion which was ridiculous considering that Vlad had it rebuilt to hold all the halfas if they chose to stay. He could hear loud voice from every room. He stomped to the library which seemed the only room he could get some peace. The halfa walked in to see Vlad at one of the armchairs quietly reading a book like the chaos in the mansion wasn't happening. "Good afternoon, Leon," Vlad stated looking up from his book.

"Hey," Leon responded coldly.

"Leon, why are you here?" Vlad asked with a sigh. Leon could feel his fists clenched as he felt insulted. "I could see that you're not happy here," Vlad added closing his book with a thud.

Leon shrugged, "I just don't like crowds. It is a bit crowded here."

Vlad rose an eyebrow, "I don't believe that is the reason. Thalen told me about your relationship with a Miss Pandora." Leon narrowed his eyes at that; of course the other halfa couldn't keep his mouth shut. "May I suggest that you miss your interactions with her and that is why you are feeling upset?"

"You could doesn't mean that you're right though," Leon grumbled. Vlad smirked a little at the tone.

"Follow me," he replied setting his book down and getting to his feet. Leon watched the man pass him and debated whether or not to follow. Vlad only looked over his shoulder once as he turned the doorknob. Leon decided there was no harm in following after him. The two walked in comfortable silence. Leon saw Abigail and Thalen speaking to each other, but didn't bother trying to listen in. The two passed the other halfas who also seemed to be enjoying their stay.

"Here we are," Vlad stated drawing Leon's attention. He was a little surprised that the two were in a shiny lab. The counters and tables all a shiny silver with the focal point being a large gateway. "I will not hold you here if you are happier elsewhere," Vlad stated stepping toward the control panel activating the portal.

"I don't understand," Leon stated.

Vlad leaned against a nearby lab table, "Take it from someone who is much older than you, tell the people you care about that they matter. You never know when they would be taken away."

Leon thought over that and advising a plan. "Thank you," the halfa stated with a small smile.

"You may come and go as you wish, just call me ahead of time so I can have the portal open," Vlad stated. Leon nodded shifting to his ghost halfa before jetting through the green portal.

The halfa didn't even have to think about where he was going. He knew how to get there without even thinking about it. He didn't even pause when he saw the Greek temple-like lair. Leon knew that Pandora didn't like ghosts flying breakneck speeds in her lair, but he had to find her quickly.

"Leon, how are you here? Did you find a natural portal?" Pandora's voice came from above her as she floated down the staircase. "You know that is reckless and dangerous."

Leon laughed at the stern tone, "Vlad finally completed his portal."

Pandora nodded, "Well, that's good news. How are you doing? When do you have to go?"

Leon smiled, "Never, I'm going to stay here. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Pandora's face turned to shock which wasn't a common look on her. "I know that I am not perfect, but I love you. I would marry you if that is possible in the Ghost Zone."

Pandora chuckled, "Of course there is a marriage institution. But I don't see a ring, so perhaps you should try this proposal thing again." Leon bulked realizing he forgot an important detail. He could feel his shoulders slump thinking that she had refused. "But the answer is yes. I would love to spend my afterlife with you."

Thalen shifted uncomfortably. He knew that Sylvia was right in her concern for Abigail, but he didn't know if his course of action was a good idea. He was determined though to see it through. He held his head high looking for the other girl. The former thief caught sight of the ghost girl floating on the balcony. "Abigail," he called out to her as he stepped out into balcony. The girl turned to give him a smile. Thalen stopped in front of her and took a deep breath.

"Did you want to go out to that new movie that just came out? Maybe we can get dinner at the diner near the theater?" Thalen asked feeling a little nervous.

"L-like a date?" the girl responded stuttering a little. A blush formed on her face. "B-but I am a ghost?"

Thalen shrugged, "So what? You're still you and I like you. Why does it matter that you don't have a heartbeat anymore?"

"Thank you. I needed to hear that," she replied pulling him into a hug. Thalen put his chin on her head as he pulled her close. She was a little cold to the touch, but Thalen didn't even notice. "But I really can't be walking around town like I am now. People don't take kindly to ghosts."

Thalen laughed at the comment ruffling her hair. "Yeah, I guess your right, but that still doesn't matter. Maybe we can just go bowling at the alley here for now until you figure out how to disguise yourself." Abigail chuckled giving the other halfa a peck on the cheek making the former thief blush.

Alex was ready to get out of here, but he had to speak his mind to his aunt and he couldn't exactly do that over the phone. Sylvia stood beside him as supportive as she could. "You just need to do it. Maybe she didn't know that you felt like she abandon you," Sylvia stated patting his shoulder as a small white car came into view. "I'll be right here if you need a ghost abduction," Sylvia added with a smile as she turned invisible.

Alex nodded his head before walking off the porch and to the driveway. The white car parked sharply and the door swung open. "Alex," the woman who faulted out of the door called out. Alex had to brace himself as the woman slammed into him in a hug. "I was so worried. You just disappeared and the cops wouldn't look because they thought you just ran away," the woman rambled as she held him close. "Let me look at you," she stated finally releasing him from her death grip to hold him at arms length. Alex felt dizzy at this change of events. How was this the same woman who neglected him and never noticed that he was bullied? "I am so glad that you are okay. I thought you were gone for good. I am so sorry for not being there for you. I heard about how they treated you at school. I am so sorry for not supporting you. Please can you forgive me?" she ended holding onto his hand.

Alex looked at her tear-filled eyes and wanted to say no, but he couldn't say that to the only family he had left. "Yes I can forgive you, but can I go somewhere for the weekend," Alex said.

"You will come back?" she asked. Alex promised that he would as his aunt went back into the house.

Abigail was unsure how her parents would take it. She knew that she had just ran off with nothing more than a note. How could she just appear as a ghost? She floated in front of the small castle that she grew up in. She tightened her hold on her family's heirloom. She tried to think about what Thalen would do.

She knew what he would do; he would be confident and say everything exactly what came to mind. She flew intangible through the front door. Knowing how early her family woke up she knew exactly where to go. She smiled to herself as she found her parents and her brother in the garden. It was a tradition for them to trim the flowers for the breakfast table. "Mom, Dad," she called out softly.

The three turned around suddenly recognizing the voice that called. "Abigail?" her mother asked a little unsure but definitely recognizing the girl. "What happened?"

Abigail took a deep breath before relating the whole story. She had to explain several things like being a halfa and Dan, but all three handled it well considering. "So are you mad at me?"

"Why would we be mad? You are a hero. You put others above yourself. We are little sad that you...um...dead, but we are glad that you can still visit us," her father responded.

"You can have your old room. Just because you are slightly different now doesn't mean you aren't are little girl," her mother said pulling Abigail into a hug.

Catalina floated in front of the portal that belonged to Vlad. She debated to just leave and forget seeing the others. She took a unnecessary breath before floating in slowly. She landed on the floor of the lab softly. "I was wondering when you were going to appear," Vlad's voice said with amusement.

Catalina sighed turning to face Vlad who was leaning against the table. "You promised me something and I am here for you to keep your end of the bargain," she replied softly. Vlad turned away at the reply his eyes sad.

"Can you at least speak with everyone first?" Vlad asked, "Perhaps it would change your mind."

Catalina sighed, but nodded. "Lead the way," she muttered. Vlad held out his arm and she hooked her arm with his. Vlad tugged her gently into the hall.

"Given the time, they should be in the dinning hall waiting for dinner," Vlad explained as he guided her to the room he spoke of. "I filed the proper forms to adopt Thalen. He tried to appear that he didn't care, but I believe he was touched by the sentiment. I have also put aside monetary funds for their endeavors after high school whether it be college or another option."

"That's rather kind of you," Catalina remarked.

"I have learned a few things from a good friend," Vlad replied. Catalina chuckled slightly, but didn't comment any further. She held tightly onto his arm as he opened the door to the dinning hall far too slow. She was going to bolt but Vlad held her firmly in place.

The six halfas looked up from their plates. Four of them were absolutely in shock. "Cat," they called out in various of joy. She was rushed by the four teens. The boy took their time but there was relief in their eyes.

"Hi everyone," she said, but her voice didn't relay the normal optimism it once held.

"We missed you a lot," Abigail spoke up. "But we were able to give Vlad his ghost half back like you wanted."

"Like I wanted?" Catalina asked slowly.

"Well, yeah, I mean you thought we could save both so we tried to save both," Thalen stated as if it was obvious.

"Why would you? It was far more dangerous. You could have destroyed him instead."

"I thought that was fairly obvious. We actually like you and respect the both of you," Thalen said crossing his arms.

"He's trying to say that we love both of you. You both are like second parents to us," Sylvia stated a smile on her face.

Catalina chuckled looking down at her feet. Abigail was the first to put her arms around the woman. "I know you feel like your not yourself, but that's okay. We care for you anyways," she whispered softly that the other halfas probably didn't hear. Catalina could feel herself choking up if she had been human she was sure she would start crying. Sylvia was the next to join also putting her arms around Catalina. Whatever comforting words were lost to Catalina as she saw the two male halfas also join in the group hug.

"Alright, group hugs," Gwen's loud voice said as her and Robin also join. "I don't know you well, but if you can keep all of them from killing each other, you are alright in my book." Catalina chuckled happily.

"Did you still want me to fulfil my promise?" Vlad asked raising an eyebrow.

"I think I'll take a raincheck on that. Come here," Catalina said feeling a little bit like herself.
