Just in Time Chapter 7 (Final): Home

Hi! Alright, this is the last chappie. ^_^ It'll be a bit shorter than the others. Just warning ya. After this, I'll being doing the short random stories when I have time. Let's go to recap! Recap: Sally and Cosmos help defend the RR HQ against a midnight GEM invasion. Sally decides to fight in her own way. Not wanting to kill anyone, she adjusts a bomb's mechanics and makes it non-lethal. That helped to greatly reduce the GEM's numbers allowing them to push them out of the HQ.

Chapter 7: Home

Cosmos's POV

I sit on my bed relaxing happily at the victory we had and waiting for the news to come on. I can't wait to see what the reporters say about the GEM. Sally knocks on my door, and I motion her in. Plopping onto my bed, she asks, "So what are we watching?" I grin at her.

"GEM's downfall." I say still grinning. She smiles back.

"Oh, yay! My favorite show." Sally replies hugging one of my pillows. I can't help but chuckle at her. As the news came on, the very first thing they say is that they have breaking news.

"Citizens of our beloved country. We have been tricked and played as fools. The supposed GEM organization are nothing but thieves and liars. We have footage of the "peaceful diplomic meeting" the GEM planned for the RR. In truth, the meeting is violent, and many lies are revealed. The president is horrified and angered. He will be giving a speech about what will be done to these monsters tomorrow. We will keep you posted on what is going on, and we all owe a large apology to the RR. The president himself plans to thank and ask the RR for forgivness during his speech tomorrow. We'll be right back."

"Woo-hooo!" Sally shouts jumping up and down on the bed. "Good trumps evil all the time!" I laugh at her childishness. She laughs as well and playfully smacks me with a pillow. I grab a pillow and smack her back, and soon, it's a full blow pillow fight.  

Sally's POV

It's been an hour since we had landed at Washington D.C. It's also just an hour after the speech is scheduled to end. The RR stand and watch as I stand nervously before the time machine. I turn and smile sadly before facing the portal. I see a sad Cosmos in the crowd near the front.A jolt of pain goes through my chest, but I swallow hard and don't look at him. I turn my back to him and prepare to leave. I see time rewind before me. It stops at my time and begins to fly towards my home. I see my old school and the park. I begin to smile before the next picture appears on the portal. I gasp, and my body begins to shake. Before my eyes are the ruins of my home. Fire fighters say something about an insane scientist's laser. Tears flood my eyes as I see the burned bodies of my younger brothers. "No, no, this can't be. NO!" I fall to my knees and sob. My family is gone. I shook my head. No, I'll see them again. In heaven, I'll see them again. God is with them, and they are with their Savior. One day I'll join them. A hand grips my shoulder. "It's okay Sally. Let's go back to the ship." Cosmos whispers in my ear. His eyes are filled with care, and he gently helps me up. I nod. One day, but not yet. I know God has more for me to do here.
