Chapter 10: Bouquet of Black Tulips 

"Michelle, are you even shivering?" asks Hector. "I'm fine… I kind-off feeling a little bit chilly even in spring…" said Michelle. Hector takes a pink bunny sweater and gives it to Michelle. "Thanks… wait… This is my Pink Bunny sweater with white rabbit icon!" said Michelle. Hector puts on his red sweater with a cat ears hoodie and a gray cat icon. He covers himself with it. Michelle looks at him as they laugh. "I guess… Sherry made you that too.." said Michelle.

"Yeah… We all have one…. Bruce has Blue sweater with a black dog, Lance has a violet one with a rooster, then vens… Pink too but closer to red violet than magenta like yours… And Pops has one, a polar bear in gray sweater, Uncle Gerd has one too… Brown with a grizzly bear." said Hector.

Michelle asks him. "Are you not even mad on what's happening in your life?" asks Michelle. Hector sighs and smiles, "I do… but… I have more things to thank than be mad about…" said Hector. Michelle hugs him. "Dude.. If you aren't feeling that good… please let me help… I always thinked if Eh-chan was doing good…fine, I wish… you could open up to me even more…" said Michelle. "Okay… I will,It bothers me, but…I have too…" said Hector as he hugs her. 

Michelle looks at Hector as he turns really, really red with an awkward smile as Hector tries to avoid looking at her boobs as it keeps rubbing on his stomach. "Thanks… That's a great help…." Said Michelle as she go inside. Bryce and the others stopped.

"So… what's the status between the two of you?" asks Bryce. "Very important friends…" said Hector. "You know… let's spend the morning, more meaning full… It's kinda early anyways, There's a nearby spring fair… We are all here even Pa…" said Bryce. They join Bryce.

Viktor goes inside his car. "Okay… we got Eleanor at least…" said Bryce. "We should go…" said Bryce as he goes inside. "Men and Ladies… let's go to the spring fair! It's still up till evening!" shouted Bryce. Bruce and Abel runs towards their rooms. "Wow, this is like childhood years again…" said Eleanor. "Yeah… but do you mind not grouping my butt cheek?" asks Gerard as Eleanor gropes his other butt cheek. "I know you like it…" said Eleanor. Gerard blushes as he looks away and say, "No…"

Gerard and Eleanor runs to a room. Rex looks at the two of them with a shock on his face as he looks Bryce and Bryce shushes him as he points the porch. Bruce and Abel go out prepared. "Let's go men…" said Bryce. They go to the van. Bryce drives the van.

 Abel notices something as he says, "Where… Where is Uncle Gerd and aunt… Oh…." said Abel. They laugh. Michelle and Hector face palms. "I will face palm!" said Michelle as she puts her hand on Hector's face. "No! I face palm!" said Hector as he does the same to Michelle. Rex starts to doubt something, "I'm not sure if it looks cute or is it like an annoying type of friendship…" said Rex. Hector and Michelle laughs. "Nah… I think it's cute…" said Bryce.

They stop by the fair with rides and food, near the ocean. Hector looks at the ferris' wheel. Michelle looks at him. "Hey… Let's ride on that one…" said Michelle. She holds Hector's hand as they run around, Eat Corn, play shooting games, where Michelle is good at and lastly, the Ferris wheel.

They look at the scenery it was quite nice… It's like… The flashback in their memories, as young children, Hector looking like a girl and Michelle looking like a boy, they are fascinated yet again by the city's lights as the sunset slowly peeks at the wavy beach, looking at the cliff. The memories to the present, Michelle looks at him and Hector smiles back, in his very handsome face. But something went wrong. The Ferris wheel stops. Michelle and Hector looks at each other . "What did just go wrong?" asks Hector. Michelle laughs but something seems wrong.

Hector stops as he says, "Tell me… what's wrong?" asks Hector. "It's just… between me and mom…" said Michelle. "Hey… I'm a friend… you are safe with me…" said Hector. "Up until know… she… she's just don't want me to be in San Francisco… I ask her what's the problem… she says… It's too far! I ask her, I have been in Japan! I also studied in Toronto… what's wrong… UGH! I ask her again, IS MY REAL DAD THERE?! Then She walks away…" said Michelle.

Hector smiles as he says, "I don't know how to comfort you so…." Said Hector he comes to her poke him on the nose. Michelle was surprised as she laughs loudly. "I don't know… but thank you…" said Michelle. "I don't know but… It seems to fit better…" said Hector.

Michelle smiles as she says, "That's the Eh-chan I knew…" said Michelle. "Yeah… It's nice to have someone to be weird with…" said Hector as the Ferris wheel started to move again. The moments just been frozen in time. The past when they are with their own families, "Maybe sometimes, broken pieces find missing match with other broken pieces…" said Hector. "Yes… They do…" said Michelle. "Hey… Let's ride the rollercoaster next!" said Hector.

"No! NO!" shouted Michelle. "What a wuss…" said Hector. Michelle squinted her eyes in anger as she says, "I'm not a wuss pretty boy! Let's go!" said Michelle as they run towards the roller coaster. Then they took tickets as they ride. But it seems in the picture, both Hector and Michelle hates the ride.

Al goes back in the interrogating room. He sees the hand cuffs and the prosthetic arm. "Tsch… He's really is and more likely a snake more than anything else…" said Al. He looks carefully around the station. "No… this is funny… someone… someone broke him out…" said Al as he checks the rooms. He sees Zach in a police uniform. "Zach… please… stop this…" said Al. "Can you hear them Al? The voices?" asks Zach. Elle grunts. "Elle!" said Al as he goes to her.

"Sorry Al… nothing personal… You are a good friend… I just want peace…" said Zach someone closes the door. He removes his mask, showing it was Crayton as he shoots Al. Al was hit in the left chest by a tranquilizing gun. He falls down to the floor.

 "I don't want to lose more of my team… Al, Not Gerard, Not you. Bryce killed them, They say they want him DEAD!" said Zach as he fidgets manicly around in circle. Someone calls in Al's smartphone. Zach answers it."Yoh… Alex… Yup… Dude… I'm waiting for you here like 35 minutes ago…Okay… Did you already called Elle? Man… Elle is so busy… Hey… talk to me… Is that about that chick with a big butt again? Dude! Hey!" said Rex. Zach turns off the phone.

Bryce slaps the back of Rex's head. "Hey! I'm a man it's natural! Be honest with me, are you one of those who like men?" asks Rex. "Here we go again… for the last time… no!" said Abel. A group of sexy looking girls goes to him, "Hello Ladies… Nice seeing you here…" said Rex. "Can I go now?" asks Abel. "By the way ladies… This is my youngest… Abelor Anderson… Thus he's looks got from his Papa?" asks Rex. "Oh Captain… he's a cutie too, like you…." said by the Blonde one with big boobs.

"How cute?" asks Rex. "like this cute!" as she rubs her chest in Abel's face as Abel's face looks disappointed as he says, "Woman… you are annoying…." Then she dips him again in her cleavage as Abel adds, "Yeah… should I say 'great boobs' tsk… whatever…" said Abel seems to be unpleased.

Few handsome looking men go to them. "Yoh! Captain Rex!" said by one. "Men… this is one of my sons, Abelor… mhhh… I'm trying to figure out if he likes men or women… Could you hug him or something... erotic" Said Rex. The man hugs Abel and rub his beard on his ear."Uhm… what should I supposed to feel… 'Ah… men… beard!' yup… nope…" said Abel. "Wait… maybe…Abel… you swing both ways?" asks Rex. "Oh… for 'F' 's sake…" replied Abel.

"Could you two… sandwich him… I still can't get it…" said Rex. Abel sighs and push the two of them away and say, "Pa… Number 1.) fuck off… two… things like this annoy me… men, women… sexual things… not my cup of tea… and, FUCK! Who are these people?" They go at Rex's back.

 "Captain… that make me uncomfortable doing that…" said the man. "I like dipping him in my boobs though…" said the woman."This is my crew… The ladies are my entertainers, the men are waiters and crew… Those two lumberjack looking men are my head mechanics,… the crew is with them, you have seen them… so far, the kitchen crew, cleaning crew and well, I'm hiring more crew…" said Rex. He goes to Abel and say, "How about come with me and enjoy the world!" said Rex.

 "Nope… I'm going to Pops and Bruce…" said Abel as he walks away. Zach in his Police uniform bumps into someone on the crew. "Sorry…eh…" said Zach. "No problem dude…Police officer," said one of the crew. Hector and Michelle get out of the rollercoaster, feeling sick.

"Let's never do that again dude…" said Michelle. "Best-worst day ever!WHUUUU!" said Hector. Michelle and Hector laughs. "Lex…" said Zac he talks to himself and say, "Damn it Lex… That's his son… not him…" in a very different voice and tune, Bryce goes to them as he gives them. Bruce sit between them. "Phmp… Why I do get stuck with Papa instead with Pops…" said Abel. "Do you hate me Baby Bell?" asks Rex as he looks at him with puppy dog eyes.

"No… Hell no! It's just… well, Pops is more of a mom to me… so… Its just I could relate to him even more… He's a good father, teacher and mentor… While you Papa… I'm still weirded out…" said Abel. Rex thinks deeply. He seems right though.

"Okay fair enough… how about I'll 'pack' you and your brother then we will hit the ocean… get to know me more… And me to the two of you…" said Rex. "That would be great Papa… It's my obligation as your nephew…" said Abel. "Son…. It's son…" said Rex. Bryce and Bruce laughs. "So… you two hate roller coasters…" said Bruce. "Yup… T's very twirly… too twirl and swirly for my taste…" said Michelle. Bryce gives Hector a red cat stuffed animal and Michelle a magenta bunny.

Hector and Michelle looks at Bryce. He was holding quite a handful of stuffed animals. "Uhm… you win that in a shooting contest right?" asks Hector. "Yeah… I did…" said Bryce. "Is it me or Doc loves stuffed animals?" asks Michelle. "Yeah… he does…" said Hector. Bruce grabs the blue dog stuffed animal. "Pops! Look! There's a mask one shooting range! And a cute gray fox stuffed animal! Bryan would love that!" said Bruce.

"Let's go!" said Bryce with eyes of passion. They run towards that booth. "Where should we go next?" asks Hector. "I dunno… oh! There's a wisteria over growth somewhere near the ocean… it's a tiny park…" said Michelle. "Wait… just the two of us?" asks Hector as he blushes.

"Of course! Just the two of us! We are best friends remember!" replied Michelle. Hector frozen by that reply. "Let's go!" said Michelle as she grabs his hand and they run away. "Eh! This place looked even nicer!" said Michelle as they see the crescent moon in the yellow tinting the dark colored sea "This is nice…" said Hector. Michelle looks at him as she says, "You know, you are way cuter when you smile like that…" said Michelle. Hector looks away.

Michelle grins as she says, "Hey, whaddya looking?" asks Michelle. As they notice Zach standing beside Hector. "Hello officer!" said Michelle. Zach points his gun on Michelle. "Damn… you really do look like your mother! Even that lascivious boobs of yours! We did something way back…" said By Someone.

They turned back, revealing Zach in a police uniform. Hector was about to move as Zach says, "Look Lex jr, hand over the woman to me. I need some… assurance… Maybe assurance from Elle too…" said Zach. Hector stands up quickly, trying to disarm him but Lex kicks him in the stomach. Making him spew blood then turn kicks him making him fall to the ground. "No… no…" said Michelle. "I never knew I would see you again like this…" said Zach.

Al and Elle, goes to Bryce. She asks them. "Bryce! Eh! Zach escaped… my officers are… My men are trained, but… Your whole battalion are something else… Please… I need to find my daughter… " said by her. "Elle, she's fine… she's with…she's with… oh no!" replied Bryce.

Gerard and Eleanor goes with them while eating cotton candy as Elle sees them. "Damn it… Anyways… I'll find Michelle on my own… She won't answer her phone…" said Elle. Gerard and Eleanor looks at her, running away. "They start to feel awkward as they walk to Bruce and Bryce. "Hey! Hector is not answering his phone… It's quite weird for him, not answering his phone… After that 'Zach' incident… we can't relax just for a while…" said Gerard.

Al goes to Rex. Gerard pinches his cheek this time. "Bruce… Hector is not like you… Michelle too…" said Gerard. Rex runs towards them. "Bryce! Gerd! Zach escaped again!" exclaimed Al. "I think they went that way!" said Rex.

 "They went that way!" said Bruce as they run towards the small park. Abel walks slowly following them, "Man… are they not aware if this thing happen they should proceed with caution?" asks Abel to himself as he sips on Milk tea and walk slowly. Inside an abandon lighthouse, Michelle looks at the vast ocean as Crayton carries her. Michelle's phone rings on Zach's hand. Elle's picture is shown. Zach drops down Hector, with a bleeding forehead.

"Elle sure aged with more beauty… Hello?" asks Zach as he turns it off. "Wait, you're… that Picture…Are… are you my dad?" asks Michelle. Zach was caught of guard as he laughs and say, "I never taught you are funny… no.. I am not…wait… uhm… wait.." said Zach as he thinks deeply. He sits down. "Phew… That's why Mommy was so angry when I ask who my dad is… my dad is a manical, murderer who tortures my best friend!" shouted Michelle angrily.

Crayton puts her down. "Zach… stop… let's go…" said Crayton. "I can't believe this… maybe she really is my daughter… the spunk, the spunk reminds me too much of Elle… the verbal abuse… that night! That NIGHT!" said Zach.

He seems to be very traumatized by that event. Michelle seems to be shouting Japanese curse words. Crayton seems to understand that as he shivers more and went to his depression. Craton goes to Michelle. "Wait… Corporal No-feet…" said Michelle. "It's Crayton Meyer…I'm sorry for this Doc… I'm just loyal till the end…" said Crayton. Zach stand up. Zach calls Michelle's phone. He calls Bryce. "Knock-knock?" asks Zach. The phone shuts off.

Michelle started laughing as she says, "Baka! (Stupid!) My phone battery is dead and I was about to charge it you Idiot of a potential father!" said Michelle. Crayton breaks out laughing. "Wait… you two, understand Japanese?" asks Michelle. Crayton nods.

"Oh, you be like, in the most maniacal psychopathic tone, 'Knock-knock! TOO BAD! I AM LOW BAT!" yelled Michelle. Crayton roll over laughing. Hector laughs. "Oh, so your awake? How come? I tranquilize you!" said Crayton. "The dart hit my, phone in my pocket…" replied Hector as he sighs and say, "Uncle Zach… can you surrender and be part of our lives instead? Pops is waiting…Everyone do…"as Hector faces him. Zach's two personalities start to collide. He shots the roof.

"Enough! I still have Alex's phone…" said Zach. He finds Bryce's phone number. Bryce's phone rings. "Hello?" asks Bryce. "Knock, knock?" asks Zac in the most Psychopathic voice possible. Michelle screams, "Come in! Come in! We don't need jokes!" Crayton and Hector laughs.

"Anyways…I'm inside the short light house, Bryce!" shouted Michelle. Zach turns off the phone. "Oh! SHIT!" shouted Crayton. "You… YOU!!!" yelled Zac. He points the gun on Michelle. "Go on! It's my first time to see my dad… YOU COULD BE MY DAD FOR FUCK SAKE!!! Fuck this… fuck everything!" said Michelle. Zach puts his gun back. "Look… I'm sorry okay… urgh! Why am I even doing this! Maybe I should have kidnapped Lex junior anyways…" said Zach.

 "OH MY GUSH! YOU ARE FREAKING GAY! WHA T WILL YOU DO TO EH-CHANN!!! Oh! You will tie him up and do… pretty… lewd… HENTAI!(Pervert!) HENTAI!" said Michelle. Crayton and Hector laughs even more. Zach shoots Hector, scratching his arm, barely missing. "Eh-chan!" shouted Michelle.

 The call ends. Michelle gets mad and kicks him. "NOBODY TOUCHES EH-CHAN!!!" shouted Michelle. "No! Fuck sake hell no!" said Zach. "Good… so we come in terms…" said Michelle. "Urgh! You really look and sound like Elle! Even the brains of Elle… just for the past few minutes… you make me so uncomfortable …" said Zach, Michelle sighs as she says, "Why… why are you doing everything like this? Why you need to mess everything up?" asks Michelle.

Zach comes back to his realization and say, "I fucked up everything… there's no turning back… At least if you are my daughter… I get to know you…" said Zac. Bryce and his group raid the light house. Bryce and Elle point the gun on Crayton and Zach. "Crayton… why are you here?" asks Bryce. "Doctor… There is a bomb here… around here, that will collapse the second floor!" shouted Crayton as he tackles Zach. "Crayton… no! Stop this!" said Bryce as he unties Hector.

 "He should've died!" shouted Zach. "I'm sorry for this man… I can't watch someone, as good as you… turn into a monster…Zach…" as Tears goes down from Crayton's eyes. The police sirens started to sound. "Zach, Cray… stop this non-sense already… You could be fine!" said Bryce.

 Zach breaks free as he fires the gun hitting Bryce on the shoulder a little but missing entirely. "SHUT UP! I'm MESSED UP! I CANNOT BE CURED BRYCE!!! I CAN NEVER BE CURED!!!" shouted Zach as he points the gun back at Michelle. "NO! MY DAUGHTER!" shouted Elle. "YOUR? Fuck it Elle! FOR ALL I KNOW SHE COULD BE OUR DAUGHTER! WHAT's WRONG WITH YOU!" shouted Zach. "Why Zach? If Michelle really is your daughter… what would you do?!" asks Elle angrily.

"GOD! ELLE!!! Is she my daughter? IS SHE MY DAUGHTER?!" asks him angrily with a shaky gun. Elle puts her gun back as she says, "Yes! MICHELLE IS OUR DAUGHTER! I was pregnant with her in that Halloween party! You played as Valancer!" shouted Elle.

"AGH!!! AUGH!!!!" shouted Zach as he shots the bullet in the roof. The Police moves in. "No! Men! Stop!" shouted Elle. "No… Not this…" said Zach. He points his gun on Bryce, Hector quickly tackles Bryce, as Zach pulls the trigger hitting him in the chest. Hector screams in pain. Bryce tends him. "Eh-chan!" shouted Michelle as she tackles Zach, tossing the gun towards Crayton. Bryce tends to him. A Police officer says, "Ma'am… We can't disarm the bomb… wires are the same color!"

"Tsk…Men, move out…it's dangerous… Leave it to me and my companions…Zach starts to run-wild, trashing the things as he starts to mumble and lose control as he says, "No! No! No! Maybe she really is my daughter! What the fuck did I do?" asks Zach. A Bomb explodes. They scream.

 "Zach…please….Leave all of them alone….You only want me…" replied Bryce. "Pops… no…" replied Hector. "No… It's true… I killed Zach's friends...my friends…You also need medical help…Please…I can survive this…Don't…please…Not Hector, Nor Michelle….Zach please!" replied Bryce. Another bombs explodes. "Crayton… please… defuse the other bombs…" pleaded Bryce. Crayton points the gun on Bryce. Zach stops him and say, "We have enough…" implied Zach. 

Zach looked saddened. "I'm sorry…I…I pushed us through all of these…" said Zach, I just want to die Bryce…I…I hate that other me..." replied Zach. The fire consumes the surrounding area. "End this Bryce…" said Zach. Bryce gets his gun as he pauses, "I can't do this…" replied Bryce. Zach screams.

Zach breaks down crying and says, "I'm a monster… I AM A MONSTER!" Crayton shushes him as he says, "No Major… The world made you a monster…" replied Crayton as he closes his eyes, Crayton ,and hug him tightly. A thundering sound echoes the area; Zach's mouth starts to bleed. "NO!!!!" shouted Bryce. Zach looks at Crayton starts to cry as he says, "Why did you lie Elle?" Elle looked saddened. Zach looks at Elle, while he was choking in his own blood with a gasping laugh.

Crayton screams in regret. Bryce holds his shoulder as he slaps Bryce's hand and say, "Don't touch me! Get out…please… GET OUT!" They go down. "I'm sorry… I had too…" replied Elle "Just leave us be…" replied Crayton as the wood pillars falls down, imprisoning them. Zach laughs with tears in his eyes. Crayton's eyes were filled with tears, as he softly smile and kiss Zach's hand and as he says, "It's your time to rest Chief…" as he takes few dynamite from his bag and lit it.

Crayton's eyes are filled with tears, as he softly smile and kiss Zach's cold hand and as he says, "It's your time to rest Chief…" Crayton press his forehead against Zach's forehead as Zach starts to become pale…" As they go out to the ambulance. The Light house's top exploded.

Hector looked at the light house, for the last time. He teared a little as Bryce rides with him in the ambulance. "You're losing too much blood! Damn it Hector!" shouted Bryce. "Pops! Pops! I'm fine!" said Hector. Bryce slaps in the head. "AW! HEYYY!" replied Hector as he looks at Bryce's teary eyes. "Pops…look…I'm sorry, I'm still your son…maybe…maybe I'm a fool like you… but… I wish… things a re different for us and uncle Zach though…" replied Hector. "Me too…" replied Bryce.

"I'm sorry Pops…Maybe, you are not a perfect as I imagined you to be… but… you're still my,Pops…" said Hector as he groans in pain. The Hospital's nurses and Doctors rush him in the Emergency room.

Bryce goes down, the nurses stops him as they say, "Sir… please… no…" replied them. "I'm a doctor!: as he shows his license… The bullet could have cyanide!" replied Bryce. A doctor sees Bryce. "Oh! Oh my gush! Dr. Bryce! Why are you here?" asks her. "Let's procced to the operating room…" replied Bryce. "Yes sir!" replied her as they go inside. Bryce changes his clothes, wash his hands and wear operating gloves, mask, and operating uniform.

 "Admit it, it's literally few meters away…" said Bruce to Abel. Elle sits down next to Michelle. Abel sighs. Michelle sits down next to Bruce and Abel. Eleanor and Gerard go to it next. Elle, Eleanor and Gerard felt awkward as Elle says, "This is… uncomfortable…"

 "I'm going… Michelle… if you still wouldn't talk to me… I'm fine with that… I'm sorry. Zach…Zachary is not your dad though…" Eleanor says, "It's like there were 5 guys who has Valncer's custom… ex-sweetie…" replied Elle. Abel ,Michelle and Abel's eyes bulges. "Wai… what?" asks Abel. "She's…" replied Gerard. "Wha… what? Um… " replied Abel. "Fuck-off Nory… You where kissing another Valancer…you cheated first this is awkward…I'm going!" replied Elle.

"Wait… Elle…" said Gerard as he stops her. "You won Gerard… stop rubbing your Victory at my face…" said Elle. "Wait… WTF… Please tell me what I really need to know…" said Michelle. "Uhm… Elle… Elle and Eleanor are… fraternity sisters and… Lesbian couple… until…" said Gerard.

 "I' hate you from the very start Gerd… you know that… stop all of this non-sense…. Eleanor loved you… you won… so stop!" exclaimed Eleanor as she slaps his hand. "Bye…" said Elle. "Elle…" said Gerard as she shouts, "BYE!" Michelle exhales as she sighs and say. "I hate my life… It's full of secrets… full of lies…" said Michelle."Hey… You are fine Mi-chan… It's just how it is… Let's respect Elle's choice…"said Gerard. "Oh bummer… I hate Elle… but…I love my baby girl…mi-chan…" replied Elle.

"Uhm… am I the only one here who is more concerned that Hector is in the emergency room being poisoned by the lead bullet near his arteries?" asks Abel. "Oh sorry… I honestly… I really wish my dad could be Doc Bryce, Gerard, Major Hand… because they're hot…but, Another blank again… The guy with a Valancer costume…" said Michelle. "Well... we are kinda… your dads..." said Gerard as he blush and say, "In a way… you are like a family member to us…" Michelle hugs him.

 "Hey! Hey! Stop crying!" said Gerard. "Hey! That's too much!" said Eleanor. "Eleanor, leave her for a while… She's been a lot too…" said Bryce. Eleanor felt a little sad. "I'm sorry…" said Eleanor. Michelle releases Gerard.

She says, "I'm sorry… This happen because I was pissed off, when Mommy won't tell me anything…It's just… I should've brought him in the park… He's been kidnapped just this morning..." said Michelle. "Uhm… Is this Nector… Hestor… oh! Hector Anders… son's… family? I… I have bad news…" said the Doctor. "Tsk…. Sometimes, He coats cyanide on his bullets…" said Gerard. "No… NO!!!…" replied Michelle. "What bad news?" asks Rex.

"Cyanide kills people in matter of hours…it's been like… 3 hours already…" replied Michelle. "Wait…" replied Rex as he sits down, he started to look gloom and clinch his fists. Bruce looks at them as he realize… "Oh! NO! NO! NO! NOOOO!" replied Bruce.

A body, covered in white sheets was shown. They are shocked as they run towards the covered person as the nurse and staffs put the body in the morgue. They burst out crying and no one wants to come close or open the covering sheet. "I can't…" said Bryce. "Damn it Hector! Why did you die!" yelled Rex. "Eh-chan!!!" shouted Michelle as she goes to him. They start to cry. "No!!! Why are you always acting so heroic, damn it! I should've have died!" said Bryce.

Hector wakes up on a room. He sees the nearby light house and the coastal view. Then there's people around him looking as if they saw some angel with yellow orange eyes. "Nestor Andersen right?" asks the Doctor. "Wait… what?" asks Hector. 

"Nestor Andersen? Wait… you don't like 57 years old… Wait a minute!" exclaimed The Doctor. "I'm! Hector AN-DER-SON not SEN!" said Hector. They say, "Oh…" they go outside. "Damn! He messed up again! That old fool…" said The doctor. "Damn it! Man up you two! Even…EVEN!!!" said Rex as he opens the sheet, "Damn it! I DON'T WANT TO WATCH!" said by Gerard, as they look back or cover their eyes except Abel, revealing a tall man in his fifties with a slightly bigger built.

The doctor from hector's room goes to them. "Sorry! There was a mix-up…" said the Doctor. The people from Hector's room goes inside the Morgue. "Hector… why is he talking Hector when his name is Nestor?" asks by the elderly woman.

"Who's bad penmanship was this?" asks by the other woman. Bryce and the other slowly go away. "So… will we get Uncle Nestor's money?" asks by the younger guy. The dead guy suddenly wakes up. They are shocked. Bryce stops for a while as he hears. "ZOMBIE!!!" Then a man shouts, "SHUT UP! I felt some big boobs though…" replied by that man. "Okay…I had enough drama for a day…" replied Michelle. They come running towards Hector.

"Eh-chan!!!" shouted Michelle as she dives first with her boobs caressing Hector's face. Bruce, Bryce and Rex laughs. "Motorboating…" said Rex. "Stop it…" said Bryce as he continues laughing. "Face deflowered!" said Bruce. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" shouted Hector. "We should call him Erector now!" as he points something on Hector's overly excited... you know what I mean. Gerard throws a pillow covering it. Michelle releases Hector. Then she slaps him.

"Damn it! Give me back my tears you rude selfless!" said Michelle. "Do I look more manly now?" asks Hector. "I don't care! You will always be my Eh-chan… my cute, caring, mature Eh-chan!" said Michelle as she deeps him again in her boobs. "Stop! You are suffocating me!" said Hector shyly.

"Dude…Look at your Hector, he's travelling the two peaks!" said Rex. Bryce looks at him angrily. Gerard giggles. Bryce looks at him too as he replies, "What?" asks Gerard. Eleanor goes to them as she says, "I love her, they two… remind me of; me and Gerard." Said Eleanor. They look at her. "Wait… Gerard wear a Valancer custom too… and he make love to me…oh!" replied Eleanor as Gerard looks at her angrily as she says, "Oh come on! Let's visit your dad in the Philippines!" replied Eleanor.

Gerard goes away. "Honeybear!" shouted her. "Eleanor…I told you I was busy! I want to go to the beach with you… Just, my dad will slap me this time abd say, Linti!" replied Gerard. Hector and Michelle seems to be stuck in the moment... Bryce signs to leave them alone.

Michelle looks at Hector and say, "This is awkward…" exclaimed Michelle. They started to blush and say, "Oh… this is painfully awkward…." replied Hector. "Anyways, Eh-chan… we already have few weeks left to go… I know… They will love the stories… but, honestly… Thank you God, you are safe…." said Michelle as she hugs him. Hector mumbles. Michelle notices she was, putting Hector between her cleavage, as she was shocked out of embarrassment, she slaps him and goes away. Hector laughs.

Thus time heal the wounds that tore a person apart? 

Viktor puts flowers on the tomb of Lex and Helga as tears pour down on Lex's tomb stone.

 Thus distance limit what can be expressed by feelings? 

 Bryce looks at the mansion as he shows his phone's camera. Galiana laughs on the screen.

 Maybe Family what makes you feel at best…

Bruce, Sherry and Bryan starts to wears a costume. They post a matching monster costume.

 Or maybe, makes you feel at worst…

Elle looks at the Picture of her, Mich and Michelle as she throws it ion the incinerator.

Is everything measurable by how big it is?

Rex looks at his Cruise ship docking in a mechanical port then giving it paint and details.

Or how small it could be?

Abel looks at the microscope as he sighs and smiles with thumbs up. The doctors rejoice. 

How near things seems to be…

Gerard cooks something as he looks on his phone. Eleanor was calling he turns it off angrily.

Or… how far it is from the view.

 Eleanor sits down in a tropical island, she looks gloomy and waving to an elderly couple.

Maybe in the end some doors are closed.

 Hector with a bandaged arm hanging on his right. Hector looks at the Mental ward, waving goodbye to everyone. After the party as he gets a scarf from a gift box. He smiles.

And, maybe a new door about to open

Hector takes his phone and read a text. "Okay…" said Hector as he takes a red scarf.

Or, a window perhaps?

Michelle opens her window, with her magenta scarf in her pink Sunday dress then she walks down towards a small flower field, next to a taxi stop next to the afternoon ocean.

Michelle and Hector stands next to each other, like the first time they met in the winter scape, Hector giggles and covers himself with his red scarf. Michelle giggles back and covers herself with her magenta scarf. Gerard's brown van stops. Abel rolls down the window and say, "What is this Rom-Com situation? Get in the car!" shouted Abel. Gerard punches him in the arm. "Aw! Papi!" exclaimed Abel. "I did not raise you to be shout-y! Hect, Michelle…Let's go…" replied Gerard.

Bryce and the others were waiting in the garden, near the blooming plants and flowers. "Hey!. "They're packing the things… So you said goodbye to them already?" asks Michelle as they walk to the Garden. The wind blows the petals.

"You know… this garden is very nice… I admit it… The Lilies, Tulips, Roses and the Cherry tree…" said Michelle. "You know… your Papi was so good with Plants…He trained those gardeners very well… He's actually, your papi's grand-nephew on his cousin's side… Your Grampapi told me in the Philippines." replied Eleanor. "Oh come on! That's why I don't want you to go to our country!" replied Gerard. They laugh.

"Gerard's sister, your aunt Cameron told me, your Papi's deep secret!" replied Eleanor. "Are you telling…" asks Gerard. Eleanor runs away. "Hey! Hey!" shouted Gerard as he runs to her. "This look like a good fantasy looking garden… even the brick bridge…fantastic." said Michelle.

 Michelle and Hector looks around. As Hector has an Idea… "Hey… Maybe I will share you my memories… I you… tell me yours…" said Hector. They walk all day, from the Lionmart store towards the port, the beach… then back… laughing, being serious and everything in between. "Well… this would look nice…" said Hector. "Hey… look at the Bright side… you will be travelling the world! Maybe find a girl who will hug you so tightly that all your cracked and broken pieces would fuse together," said Michelle.

 Hector smiles at her as he hugs her.

Epilogue

Michelle releases him as she adds, "You know… I hope you could find one, dude… and , is your hand good?" asks Michelle. "Yeah… maybe just few more days, I will take it off… The shoulder crack seems fixed after a whole month in the ward… Even my psyche is better, the farewell party was nice… you know; thanks, the group really helped me a lot. The medicine maybe is one of the worst but it helped to make me better… I need to trust even more…" said Hector as he smiles.

"But… eat more… you looked a little thin…" said Michelle. The head butler goes to Hector looks around and asks, "Where's Abelor?" asks Hector. "He's with Master Bryce…" Replied the Butler as he goes away. Michelle takes something from her bag, unnoticeably dropping her small diary from a whole. 

Hector grabs the diary and hides it. He smiles and say, "Mi-chan…" replied Hector as he runs towards Rex. Eleanor goes to her. "I can see… did you and my baby …you know… chop-chop!"asks Eleanor. "Ehw… No! He's my best friend!" replied Michelle. "Seriously dear… I hate Elle but, I like you… You are like a daughter I never had…Hector… he's… ehm… too mature for 'young stuff'…he was like… born to be a mature adult…" replied Eleanor. Michelle can't stop looking at Hector's butt.

Gerard looks at Michelle as he opens his mouth with a shocked reaction to Eleanor. Eleanor and Gerard laughs. Gerard signs Eleanor. "Well, look at the time… Gonna catch up with my ex-husband/boyfriend, my brothers and nephews…" said Eleanor.

She goes to Gerard and squeezes his butt cheek. Gerard reacts by slapping her hand. Hector looks at her, and waves her to go to them. "Dude… They are my sons too… Gerard's sons, your sons… we are co-parents okay? So take a chill pill!" said Rex, "No! Abel is quite anti-social…Please beat him up, for him to socialize… hug him a lot too… he have LOTS of baby anger issues…" they laugh Bryce waves from a distance. Viktor rolls his eyes and say, "Hey… I'm not supposed to be here…" said Viktor.

Eleanor rolls her eyes as she goes to Viktor and say,"Pa! They are going away! At least be here!" said Eleanor. "Okay…FINE!" said Viktor. Viktor goes away, mumbling. The cruise ship goes to the port. It was big and Luxurious. "Wow… This one is even bigger… wait IS THIS NEW?" asks Bryce.

"Lady of the Land Star… Yup… The old one is still there… So, surprise! I have two luxury cruise ships!" said Rex. The crew waves at them. "Hey look! Is that his other son? He's even more gorgeous than Captain Rex!" said by a woman. "Oh shut up!" said by one of the men. The Cruise ship opens it big entrance stairs. Rex looks at his other crew members waving at him as they come near. "Captain! This is our new crew members…" said by a captain in white uniform.

 " New Entertainers, 3 life guards, 7 mechanics, 2 dozen waiters, 4 cooks and 30 chamber crew…" said by one of his crew. They all go to the deck. "Wow...this is new! This lady is quite a catch!" said Bryce, "Of course, little brother! Titanium alloy mixed with carbon steel! Durable!" said Rex.

"You have pretty good taste Rex…" said Bryce. "Well… I wish, You, Gerd,L-nor… we would go sail for months! I'm gonna miss you…I'll be returning soon…" said Rex. He hugs the two of them. They hug him back. Eleanor runs and hugs the three of them, "But remember Bros,sister… Someday, you will be with me!" said Rex. Eleanor runs ,and hugs the three of them. "All of you will be with me! I promise that!" said Rex. Tears start to run down from their eyes in the yellow orange sunset.

"Dumb ass Rex… We are fine okay…" said Gerard. Rex wipes his tears as he says, "Dude… I was glad I returned…You know… I wish you two are still married… I'm just happy you still care for Eleanor… " said Rex. They laugh as Rex says, "I'll go back from time to time! I promise! This summer…2 months from now… Your cooking buddies are joining me though… Georg and Claud…Wait… Georg is… Galiana's Brother?" asks Rex. "Yup…" replied Gerard. They go upstairs. Michelle walks near the grails.

"Why are we crying as if you are dying…" said Bryce sarcastically. "Dumb Bryce… I will be gone for months… I'm just going to miss you just see you in Christmas okay?" asks Rex. "And you two…Gerd, Eleanor… I know there is something still between you two okay, just be true ,to each other…" said Rex.

Then he looks at Bryce. "If I know this would feel like this… I should've returned 20 years earlier." said Rex. "Hey, buddy… I think, Mi-chan is sitting there, looking in the ocean…" implied Bryce. Hector looks at him and say, "Wait… you…how?" asks Hector. "I'm your Pops, buddy! Now! Go!" replied Bryce. Hector runs to her. "Hey… look at those two…" said Eleanor. "So are they really setting the Final score here?" asks Gerard. "Oh… I can no longer call him Baby boy!" replied Eleanor. They look at her.

Hector and Michelle looks at the sunset. She punches Hector on the shoulder and say, "I'm going to miss you dude…" said Michelle. "It's been a month already and I think I need to… find myself even more… maybe roam the world… see new light... I'm just happy… plainly happy…" said Hector.

 Bryce shouts, "Michelle! Say your goodbyes already! We are going!" "OKAY!" shouted Michelle. Then she hugs him. Hector hugs her. "So be there okay… I will be waiting here again… maybe we will meet in Spain if you like too… but it depends on you…" said Michelle and releases him. "Goodbye Eh-chan…" said Michelle as they slowly get down of the stairs, glimmered by the sunset. Michelle looks at her bag, she seems to lost something.

"Hey! Michelle! I think I forget something to return to you!" said Hector. Michelle looks at him. "Okay! Give me my diary already Eh-chan!" said Michelle with a smug. Hector gives her the diary "Eh-chan, No peeking in my diary!" said Michelle. Hector smiles as he pulls Michelle closer to him.

 The time slows down along the beautiful sun, for the first time… Michelle comes close to Hector's face. Hector says, "I forgot to return this for 20 years…" said Hector as he kisses her. Bryce, Rex, Gerard and Eleanor were shocked. Abel looks at them and shouts, "FINALLY!" Bryce, Eleanor and Gerard looks at them. Abel passes them, whistling. Gerard chases after Abel and locked him using a hug. Michelle was awe struck with a blush in her face and frozen lips.

Hector says, "Now… I returned it… maybe you want to steal it from me again if you want too, and by the why Michelle. It's Hector, I'm no longer your Eh-chan… see you again." said Hector as he runs to the staircase as he says, "I love you as a Woman, Michelle…I do…"

She seems to be shocked and not moving and curl up on her fit and lays her head on her knees. "That was really cool…" said Gerard. "Wow…. I never realized Hector was that cool…" said Bryce. "I dunno… Michelle be like: 'my ovaries exploding right now' look at her!" said Eleanor. Michelle stands up with her happy, lewd smile and a funny face. Gerard carries Abel on his shoulder "Papi… I don't like to go!" exclaimed Abel. Gerard slaps Abel's butt and says, "Get in the ship! You knucklehead!"

Michelle walks away still frozen as she can't believe it. "Hector… stupid pervert!" shouted Michelle as she smiles and shouts, "I WILL STEAL THAT KISS AGAIN!" Hector shouts back, "THEN I WILL RETURN IT BACK AGAIN!!!" Abel rolls his eyes, at Hector. He seems to be happy as goes inside the Cruise ship. "Wow… that was the coolest thing I heard from him…" said Abel. "Wow… I admit it… he… he bested me on that! Hey! Hector! Teach me! TEACH ME!!!" shouted Rex.

Gerard and Bryce was still shocked. "Who taught him to be that cool? Wow…" said Gerard. Michelle seems to be love struck and responding in out of this world. "Hey Mi-chan are you fine?" asks Bryce. "Nani(what)?" asks Michelle. She starts to speak inaudible Japanese happily.

As hours passed by, in Michelle's bed, she looks at the sea… smiling to the far ocean. In the ship Hector was smiling on his bed, looking at the sea as he reminiscence the words he says, the look in Michelle's face. Her tender her lips is. It was nice… it was the first time Hector minds it. He remembers the time he was crying near a tree with Westeria vine blooming with it as Michelle kisses him. Then just a while ago, he kisses her. Michelle touches her lips, Hector touches his lips.

It was warm,It was sweet, Colorful. Majestic… like spring time… Like Spring time.

"Hey! Shut up! I don't care how love struck you are Hector! PLEASE! SHUT UP!!!" shouted Abel. 

"Sorry!" replied Hector, from a bed, just few feet away from Abel's bed.

"And you! PAPA! Stop cuddling me! I'm not a Baby! YOU FUCKING HAVE A CAPTAIN'S ROOM! You cannot go to my bed and cuddle me like a teddy bear!" shouted Abel angrily.

"Nah! You are baby Bell… baby bear?" asks Rex. Hector and Rex laughs.

"Angry baby bear! You are like a ball of fuzzy-wittle angerball, like your Papi!" said Rex.

"Your PUNS are DISTASTEFUL!" said Abel as he pushes Rex away, Rex tickles him with his beard. Abel can't stop laughing. Then Rex stands up and say, "Good night kids… thanks for accepting me as your other, other dad…Eleanor was so lucky… she's the solo mom!" said Rex as he taps the both of them in the head.He walks to the deck of the cruise ship with his Mobile Phone and a little old brown journal. He looks at the nice stars and the moon. He takes out a locket; showing a picture of a beautiful woman that looked like Helga and younger version of him. Then he calls someone on the phone.

 "Bryce… It's Me…"said Rex.

"Rex…So… How's everything? Are they all right?" asks Bryce from the other side of the phone.

"Be Honest with me… So Hector's date of birth is July 22? "

"It was kinda Mixed… I have a data saying, it was July 22, but I also found a July 21; which we celebrate."

Rex sighs with a teary eye, "You know… my son's birthday is in July 21…" said by Rex.

"Yes…for unknown reasons… wait! The birth certificate I first saw is July 21...Not 22, or 22 actually…"

Rex turns off the phone, unable to breathe, with mix of regret, joy and the sadness. He stands up and burns a small journal with him. It was his brother's journal as he takes a page saying; "One day I, will tell my brother the truth when he returns, I will tell him; about his son and my daughter… I hope he will forgive me…" Rex throws the notebook on the seafloor. He smiled happily and say, "You loved Helga so much, you have to lie about her stillborn daughter, and my son…but, thank you…"
