The California Adventure

Chapter 23: Aftermath and goodbyes

After Gina's defeat, most of the PEACE members were rounded up, or turned themselves in the moment the authorities arrived. Eve did most of the talking of course, while Dee Dee was hopping and bouncing around much to everyone's annoyance.

After that, the group was ready to go home.

Carl was the first to leave so Eve started pulled out a HUGE sum of money and handed it over to Carl.

"Thanks," he said gratefully.

"No problem, if you need anything, holler," Eve replied with a small smile.

"Fun while it lasted, right?" Carl asked, knowing that his big adventure was coming to an end, and soon he packed his things and was given a teleport ride back to Back of the Yards, a Neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois where he had to be a Dad.

"See you guys soon!" Nate then bid goodbye to his friends and girlfriend

"Okay!" they replied back in unison.

Dee Dee rushed to Samuel and hugged and kissed him before saying:

"I'll find you."

"Okay." Samuel replied with a smile.

So Nate, Ellen, Martin, Eve, Villanelle, Willa, Luke, Jeff, Samuel and DJ were teleported home by Holden.

"I can't be here," Villanelle said sadly.

"You can't?" Martin asked.

Villanelle shook her head sadly.

Martin knew this was a huge goodbye, so he said his parting words for Villanelle:

"Villanelle...even though you are an assassin, I never felt proud to call you a good housekeeper."

Villanelle looked ready to cry for the first time ever, then she hugged Martin tightly in response.

"ThankyouThankyouThankyou soooooo much for your kind words!" Villanelle said happily.

"You're welcome. Though I imagine you won't stop on whatever you do."

Villanelle sighed sadly.

"Nope."

Villanelle and and Eve then packed their things and bid farewell to everyone even Nate and and Ellen, who had tears flowing down their faces.

"You two are the most amazing kids I've ever met," Eve said.

Nate and Ellen smiled.

"Don't let anyone tell you different."

Then Eve and Villanelle were then teleported away by Holden, who was last to depart with Willa, Luke and Jeff.

"Thanks for letting me use your powers," Nate said to Holden.

"No problem," he replied.

"Goodbye!" Everyone bid their farewells to Holden and his friends.

"Bye! I'll be in touch!" Holden called out before leaving via teleport with his circle of friends and girlfriend.

So after a few moments of silence...

"So...what now?" Martin asks to everyone present.

But despite prevailing against Gina and PEACE, Nate wasn't exactly a teacher's pet, while also not being Mr. Nice Kid everyday, having such an up and down history of getting into trouble. This did put him on shaky ground.

"Let's talk it out another day, despite today's outcome against evil and defeating Gina once and for all, this hasn't been a good day." Nate suggested.

"Yeah," DJ agreed.
