The Three Warriors held each other in a group hug.

"Thanks for coming, guys. I knew you would" said Calvin. 

"Well, it was hardly us who did the saving" said Sam.

"Yeah. If Jeremy hadn't taken charge, the next ghost story we told would have been about you and Paul" said Charles Wallace. 

"And it was his honesty that broke us out" said Paul.

"See, Jeremy?" said Charles Wallace. "You were selling yourself short when you ran off to your mother's house."

"You're better than you think. And you proved yourself by rescuing your cousin and your ex" said Sam.

"I'm so proud of you, Jeremy" said Jackie. "And I'm still so sorry for everything I've done."

"You don't need to be, Jackie" said Calvin.

"Yeah, it wasn't your fault" said Sam.

"It was the IT's" said Charles Wallace.

"And I forgave you already. I feel as though if I hadn't, we wouldn't be standing here" said Jeremy. 

"Well, since we've escaped safely... why don't we invite everybody to Mozambique for the rest of the trip?" said Calvin. 

"Oh, yes, yes!" Gayle squealed. 

Sam sprinkled pixie dust on her friends and off they flew, back southeast to the Mozambique shore. 

The Wiggles were standing by the sea waiting for them. 

"They've been gone for ages" said Anthony. 

"Yeah. I hope they're okay" said Murray.

The guys were flying right over them just then.

"Here we are, Wiggles!" said Calvin. 

"We made it" said Charles Wallace. 

"We're coming" said Sam.

"Kids!" the Wiggles cheered in unison.

"Calvin, are you alright?" said Jeff.

"Yes. I'm alright" said Calvin. 

"Paul! And Jeremy; you're both here now" said Greg. 

"And I see you had your baby" said Murray.

"I did" said Jeremy.

"What's her name?" said Anthony. 

"Oh, goodness. I didn't think about that" said Jeremy.

He thought for a second. "She's family... she was born from love. And we witnessed it during our adventure."

"So?" said Paul.

"So... her name is... Dorcas. In honor of the woman who sacrificed herself for me" said Jeremy. 

The Wiggles looked at each other with smiles, then gave Jeremy two thumbs up each.

"Beauty mate!" they said in unison. 

"And we made some new friends as well" said Charles Wallace.

"Yeah. Gayle, Jackie, these are our best friends the Wiggles" said Sam.

"Hello" said Jackie calmly. 

"Lovely to meet you" said Gayle with a curtsy. 

"G'day, Jackie and Gayle" said Anthony.

"We're the Wiggles!" they said in unison. 

They introduced themselves one at a time.

"I'm Greg."

"I'm Murray."

"I'm Jeff."

"And I'm Anthony."

"My goodness! You four have a lot of energy. I love it" said Gayle.

"We're glad to have you on board, ladies" said Anthony.

The Three Warriors looked at each other.

"Looks like Jeremy solved this case for us" said Calvin.

"Yeah. He really did great" said Sam.

"And I think we all learned a valuable lesson on this trip" said Charles Wallace. "We all know what it is, so why waste our time restating it?"

Sam laughed. "Another mystery..."

"Is history" finished Calvin.
