The Legacy landed, and the port was crowded. In the crowd, Sarah was looking around for Jim, making her way through. As she scanned the crowd, Y/N, Jim, and Morph got off the ship, and Jim saw his mother in the distance. "There's my mom." Jim turned to Y/N, gripping her hand. "You ready?" Y/N nodded with a tight smile and went to greet Sarah. Jim approached his mom, grabbing her attention by placing his hand on her shoulder. She jumped a little in surprise and turned to see Jim, unscathed and back home safe, as he engulfed her in a hug. Sarah couldn't hold back her smile and wrapped her arms around her beloved son.
Jim turned to Y/N and reached a hand out to her. She walked towards the mother and son, grabbing his hand as she waved to Sarah. "Mom, I'd like to introduce you to someone I've journeyed with." Sarah covered her mouth, lowered her hands, and a smile appeared as she hugged Y/N. "Thank you so much for looking after my Jim." Y/N smiled and hugged her back. "He was a handful, I have to say, but you're welcome, ma'am." Sarah pulled away with a small laugh. "Call me Sarah." Then Morph suddenly appeared between the women with a giggle as he met Sarah. Morph rubbed against Sarah, surprising her again with a new friend. "This is Morph," Y/N greeted as Morph flew around them. The group chatted away, with smiles and laughter. Later, Amelia, Delbert, and B.E.N. joined them, and they finally knew it was good to be back home.
They all lived at Delbert's home for now as they waited for the repairs of the new Benbow Inn to be completed with the treasure Silver had gifted Jim. A few weeks had gone by, and Jim and Y/N had their luggage packed. Jim hugged his mom goodbye at the Spaceport. Right now, he and Y/N were leaving for the Interstellar Academy. Amelia had prepared a ride for them to get to the academy. "Oh, I'll miss you both so much," Sarah said as she and Y/N hugged each other. "Don't worry, Mom. We'll be fine," Jim said, trying to ease his mother's worry. "I'll be sure to look after him, Sarah. I'll keep him out of trouble," Y/N laughed as Jim groaned at them. Y/N and Sarah had become closer, treating Y/N like a real daughter. B.E.N. was wiping a tear from his eye, and Morph chirped as he rubbed against Y/N's face. "Well, Amelia should be waiting for us at the academy. We'll see you guys in four years!" Y/N waved to them.
They got on the ship and waved at Sarah and Delbert. As they flew further away from the port, Jim wrapped an arm around Y/N's shoulder and pulled her close. "I'm excited for the future. You?" Y/N smiled at him, placing her hand over his. "I feel the same way. Let's do our best!"

Morph chirped as he shapeshifted into a pair of scissors and cut a red ribbon. Sarah, Morph, B.E.N., Amelia, Delbert, and the customers celebrated the grand opening of the newly rebuilt Benbow Inn. Delbert took a picture to remember the occasion at the new large inn.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
It was now night as everyone enjoyed food and drink. B.E.N. kicked the kitchen door open, holding seven pieces of cake, impressively balancing three on each of his arms and one sitting on his open compass as a serving tray. B.E.N. ran around the party, handing out cakes to the guests. He joined Delbert and Amelia and looked at their arms to see them holding their babies: triplet girls, looking like Amelia, in Delbert's arms, and a baby boy wrapped up in Amelia's arms. She pulled the blanket down, kissing his head, making the little pup yawn and smile.
Suddenly, the door to the inn opened, and everyone gasped as the robot police officers came to the door, bringing Jim and Y/N in with them, stepping out of the way to show them wearing new suits. Jim had his hair cut and wore his new captain's suit, looking nice and proper, while Y/N was in a long first officer suit, similar to Mr. Arrow, with her hair styled down. Sarah and everyone cheered at their achievement. Jim shook hands with one of the officers, while the other saluted, and Y/N replied with the same gesture. Morph smiled and shapeshifted into medals for Y/N and Jim, which sat on their coats.
Music started playing by Miss Dunwiddie. The crowd clapped in rhythm. Guests formed a tunnel using flowers. Y/N and Jim stood at the end of the tunnel, bowing, looping their arms around each other, and dancing down the tunnel. Jim spun her around as they parted ways at the end of the tunnel. Y/N's coat fluttered, and at the start of the tunnel, Delbert and Amelia were revealed, being spun elegantly and dipped. Amelia smiled at her husband.
Morph was watching their children with big eyes. Two of the girls were sleeping, and so was their brother. He didn't notice the ginger daughter sneak glances at her brother, then at Morph, and pull her brother's ear, waking him up and making him cry. His violent cry awakened his other sisters, and Morph was sent into a panic and quickly shifted into a rattle, flying at the baby's waving hand. His ginger-haired sister tried to grab it but fell on her brown-haired sister and sent a nasty stare at her brother, while her blonde sister was happy for him.
Everyone else began dancing, and B.E.N. started to show his own moves. Jim and Y/N stood by a window, clapping along to the music. Sarah looked at them with a big smile. Jim slowly stopped clapping but kept a smile on his face. He looked at Y/N, who glanced at him. She leaned against him, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers. They then looked out the window at the stars above, and they caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking cloud smiling down at them. What they could say was that back then was the best time they had, which changed their lives, and they hoped to see their old friend again.
