The three looked at each other, as they slowly smiled at one another. Then their eyes started to water, as their lips quivered. Ani took the Big Black book and let it float by itself in mid-air, as she turned back to Violet and Vito. At the same time, Violet, Vito, and Ani all came together in a group hug, as their tears rolled down their cheeks, continuously.
"Mom, Vito! I missed both of you!" Violet said in happiness.
"I've missed you two so much!" Ani said in joy.
"I've missed you two most of all! It was lonely in the hospital!" Vito said with happiness and sadness, as Violet and Ani kissed him simultaneously on opposite cheeks.
"I'm loved!" Vito shouted with a big grin, as he lifted his arms up.
Violet and Ani chuckled, and then they all hugged each other once more and finally parted. As they wiped their tears, the CM gang approached them.
"We finally got him," Charlie said, as the three turned their attention towards him and the others.
"Yeah man! We took him down and out, over and under, front and back-smacked straight to the Netherworld! We're freaking awesome," Vito said with a smile, as the others chuckled at his enthusiasm.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Rex said, as he and Vito bumped fists.
"It's great to finally meet ya kid," Tommy said, as he shook hands with Vito.
"The pleasures mine, man. It's great to meet you guys in person. I love all of you," Vito said.
"And we're happy to finally meet you too. Violet spoke highly of you," Kelly said, as Vito looked towards Violet with a smile as she nodded back.
"But she did mention that you were highly probable of being disabled," Lester said.
"Yay and nay. I heard the nurses talking about that outside of my door, but I didn't care. Nothing was stopping me from walking, even if I would have to wheel myself out of there!" Vito said, as he raised a clenched fist in front of his chest.
Everyone laughed as Vito flipped his hair dramatically like a cool dude.
"So... what do we do about this place?" Paul asked, as everyone looked around the cave walls.
"I'm sure it will disappear soon. The Angel of Chaos created this former church for the wedding only, but since he's not here I'm sure it'll fade away," Ani said.
"How long until it fades?" Kelly asked.
"Right now," Ani said, as they heard cracking and creaking from the walls, while rocks started crumbling from the walls and ceiling.
"Uh... is it going to fade or fall apart?" Tommy asked.
"Both. First it'll break apart and then it'll fade... we need to get out of here NOW!" Ani said quickly, as everyone's eyes widened.
"Let's go!" Charlie said, as the whole CM gang turned towards the exit.
However, the exit was blocked by a large boulder.
"That Angel of Chaos trapped us here!" Tommy said, with mild frustration.
"Maybe I can bust it down," Rex said, as he got into charging position, ready to bust down the boulder.
"You can't break it like that, it's too strong. The only way to break it is from the outside. That's why the Angel of Chaos only busted partially into the wall when you would hit him," Ani said, as she placed her hand on Rex's shoulder.
Rex stood up straight and rubbed the back of his head, as he said, "Oh... well that's the end of that plan. But let's see if they could do something."
Rex took two of his fingers from each hand and spread them to the corners of his mouth, as he blew and created a high-pitched whistle. After a moment of waiting, they all heard a loud thud just beyond the boulder.
"Step back dudes and dudettes," Rex said, as the CM gang moved away from the boulder.
They heard a few more thuds and neighs, and then a loud CRACK and BOOM was heard and seen, as seven fiery horses came forth after breaking down the boulder in front of the entrance.
"Thunder!" Violet said, as she ran over to her horse, and he neighed and nuzzled his face into her own.
"Slammer," Rex said, as he high-headed with his horse and jumped on his back.
"Echo," -Kelly
"Cyclone," -Charlie
"Slasher," -Lester
"Slammer," -Tommy
"Blade," -Paul
Everyone greeted their horses, and then they jumped on their backs. Violet took her mother on her horse, as Paul took Vito on his horse. Then they all headed for the exit, as the Fiery Incendiaries galloped out of the former-church cave. Violet noticed, as they left the church, that a dark creature also escaped but he laid low and kept his distance from them.
'Defer,' Violet thought, identify who the creature was, as she smiled and also thought,
'I'll find a way to repay you, man.'
The CM gang stood flying above the place on their noble steeds, as it collapsed in on itself.
After the building cave collapsed on itself, it started to fade away, as each piece turned black and then disappeared. The CM gang let out a few cheers, and then they heard a much louder cheer not too far from the fading ruins. When they all looked, they gasped to see a large crowd of people gathered where the minions used to be, as they stood on top of the broken bodies of the evil corpses. The CM gang flew down to greet the people, as the sun rose up.
They landed before the group and jumped off of their horses, as Violet recognized two people who were leading the large group of people.
"Karla, Robert! What the son are you two doing here?" Violet asked her two friends.
"We lead a revolution. We weren't going to let an apocalypse ruin our homes and businesses again," Karla said, as she turned towards the crowd and shouted,
"AM I RIGHT?!"
The crowd cheered in agreement as they raised their weapons up.
"These guys gave us a challenge, but it was fun, all in all," Robert said, and Karla nodded in agreement.
"That's cool guys. Then the city and everyone is safe right?" Violet asked, and they nodded.
"Well, certain parts of the city are pretty banged up. Especially where those portal doors were," a random pink-haired girl replied from the crowd.
"Then the city needs some fixing. It'll take some cash to get started though," Charlie said.
"Looks like we'll need to host another concert huh?" Kelly said with a smile, as Charlie nodded towards her.
"But I'm sure it'll be even better this time," Tommy said with a smile, as he crossed his arms.
"Yeah. Especially if we use fireworks," Lester said, as he looked towards Violet, while everyone else looked at her.
"R-Really? You'll let me do special effects?" Violet asked, as the CM band nodded.
"Oh! OH! Let me help! I'm good at promoting and riling up a crowd," Vito said, as the CM band agreed.
"I'll help too. You'll need food, clean clothes, and a permit to perform wherever you wish," Ani said, as everyone looked at her in surprise.
"A permit to perform anywhere? How is that possible?" Kelly asked.
"I have connections... and a powerful Big Black book," Ani said, as she swept her hand across her clothes and revered them back to a regular white long-sleeve shirt and black pants, as she also held the book under her arm.
"This is great! We'll repair the city in no time," Charlie said.
"Is there anything I can do?" Paul asked.
"You'll help me manage everything as an Assistant Manager. I'm pretty amazing on my own, but having help would make it easier and painless," Kelly said, and Paul nodded.
"I'll call some friends I made at the rehab group to attend the concert too," Paul said.
"Even better. Let's call up as many people as we can to help out by coming," Charlie said, and the CM gang nodded.
"Let's get to work peoples!" Violet said, as the CM gang stood together and high-fived as a group.
Later (About a month):
The CM gang were able to put together an amazing concert that not only hosted music, but a light show made of colorful fireworks, explosives, and laser beams that weren't lethal created by Violet and Vito.
"Final song," Kelly said in the mic of her headphones, as the CM band went out beyond the curtains to play the final song.
The largest crowd possible in an outdoor concert stood waiting, as the CM band came forward and they cheered. About thirty percent of the crowd were friends that Paul called who called their friends which were twenty more percent of the crowd. As they played the song, Violet and Vito were working on the lights and special effects for the song. Ani was preparing food and beverages, and she was also setting something up for later as she talked to a waiter lady and then she left.
After the last song was played, the crowd cheered in delight, as everyone stepped forward from behind the curtain. The whole CM gang stood in a line on stage as they held hands and bowed before the crowd.
Afterward, the CM gang returned behind the curtain, as the concert came to a close, while Karla and Robert took over to thank the crowd and stuff.
The CM gang were happy and relieved that the concert was a success. Ani walked ahead and led all of them to a building that the whole stage concert stood in front of. Inside, the CM gang were treated to a dinner in celebration of the concert's conclusion, and because they were famished. Defer was also there catering for the CM gang, since he came to them one day and asked if he could help them. Everyone raced over to get some food from the food tables were Defer was, as Violet and Paul slowly walked behind them.
Paul smiled a little, seeing how the others were immediately grabbing plates and stacking food on them. Then he felt a smaller and warmer hand slowly hold onto his, as he turned to see that Violet was holding his hand while looking away from him with a blush dusting her cheeks. Paul also blushed, as he more firmly grasp her hand.
"Oh Violet, Paul. There you two are. Come this way," Ani said, as Violet and Paul looked towards her, and their faces heated up a little more.
They followed Ani, while still holding hands, to a more secluded area of the room. This area was nearly behind the food table, as a long white curtain blocked the area from view of the others and even the food table.
"Mom, what's going on?" Violet finally asked, but then her eyes widened as did Paul's when they saw a fancy red table with two black chairs and a black candle in the center on a silver candle holder, lighting up the table.
"Well, since you two were busy with the concert and didn't have time to go on your first date, why not go here after the concert," Ani said with a sly and happy smile, while Violet and Paul were very surprised.
"M-Mom, you set me u-up?" Violet asked, while the blush on her face brightened.
"Yes. Although, Vito and Charlie were the ones with the idea," Ani said.
"That Vito!" Violet said, curling her other hand into a fist with a small smile.
"Charlie... no wonder he couldn't look me in the eye without smiling awkwardly," Paul said, as he shook his head with a small smile.
"Well, why don't you two sit down, and I'll tell the waitress to come," Ani said, and then she walked away.
Violet and Paul walked to the table and sat on their seats that faced each other, as they released each others' hands. After a moment of silence from feeling nervous and awkward, Violet spoke,
"So... it's cool that all of you guys decided to move closer together to keep in touch. Of course, I wonder if it was by accident that you guys decided to move closer to the houses near my own."
Paul rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Well, we were talking about moving closer together, and Vito suggested for us to move closer to your house since there were open homes to buy or rent."
"The setting up never fails," Violet said with a smile as she shook her head, and Paul laughed a little.
"Well... at least we'll be closer. Then we can make-up for all the dates that I've been wanting to take you on," Paul said, as he reached his hand over the table towards her.
Violet smirked as she reached out and placed her hand in his and said,
"Sounds cool, Casanova. I can't wait to go on those dates and more with you," Violet said, and Paul smiled as his blush brightened.
Snickers and laughs were heard, as Violet and Paul turned to see Charlie, Kelly, Lester, Tommy, Rex, Vito, and Defer watching them from halfway behind the curtain. Their eyes widened since they were caught, while Paul and Violet chuckled. The group smiled sheepishly at Violet and Paul, until Ani came.
"Hey! This is their time! Get! GO!" Ani said, as she shooed the group away, while they ran back to their food.
"Those guys... gosh. I'm surprised you didn't drop-kick any of them though," Paul said.
"Eh, it's date time now, kicking later," Violet said, and they exchanged a laugh.
Then the waitress came, who was Sandra from Hurgerburger, and said,
"Hey guys."
"Hi," Paul said.
"Sup Sandra," Violet said with an upward nod, as Sandra nodded towards both of them.
"What will you two be having?" Sandra asked.
Violet and Paul locked eyes with one another as they smiled sweetly towards each other.
"I have what I want," Paul said, not taking his eyes off ofViolet.
"Me too," Violet said, without taking her eyes off of Paul.
"... This is too adorable! I'll bring you the best meal we have," Sandra said, cheerfully.
Paul and Violet answered with a "Mmhm," since they didn't want to break their gazes from one another, as Sandra nodded and walked away.
"You know I love you right?" Violet asked.
"Yeah, and I love you too," Paul replied.
"Awesome," Violet said, and they continued their date without interruptions.
-
Although the others asked how their date was, Violet and Paul only answered with "Great," especially since they knew the others wanted to know so that they could tease them easier.
As the sun set, and the CM gang stood together watching it from the rooftop, Vito secretly looked into his sleeve at his white pen as his mouth formed into a small smile.
'Be proud, mom, dad, uncle... we did something amazing... like we promised,' Vito thought, as he enjoyed the rest of the sunset with his awesome family and friends.
