Epilogue

Sam and Eric both testified against Carry and Bobby. They plead guilty at their own trials. Sam was given ten years probation and Eric was sentenced to a year in prison with five years probation. Carry was found guilty on the charges of being an accomplice in the attacks and sentenced to ten years in prison. Bobby was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to twenty-five years. After the trials the Rose family left Elm Street and Bayport, they disowned Bobby.

It had taken many months for the Frank and Joe to recover, but they both made full recoveries. As did Phil. Frank was able to use his right hand as normal and Joe's jaw healed well. The Hardy's and their friends grew even closer. Frank, though he missed his graduation, was still honored as Bayport High's Valedictorian and both he and Phil were honored as the City's top High School Graduates.

Though life had settled for the brothers somewhat, there were still times when the memories of that hellish night caught up with them. Like the time Joe found Frank staring into the kitchen, frozen in place.

"Frank?" he called, trying hard not to use his Jaw too much. At this point frank had been home for about a week and a half, and while Joe had managed to overcome his fear of the kitchen, Frank was still struggling.

"It's so stupid. I know that nothing's going to happen, but I don't want to go in there," he told his brother, his head hung low.

"What do you want?" Joe asked simply, understanding the problem.

"Just some water."

Joe nodded and went to retrieve it. As he handed the glass to his brother he said, "Why don't we talk?"

Frank nodded, and gestured to the back yard. The brothers then spent the next three hours talking and it was that night that each brother began to find closer for each other and themselves. Though both knew that they could find a peace with in themselves, they also knew they would never forget that nightmare of a night on Elm Street.
