The day had come. Graduation was here & the Anubis House residents were getting ready.
"Has anyone seen my heels?!" Amber cried.
"check the laundry room Amber" Trudy said cleaning up breakfast.
"Trudy does my tie look right?"
"yes Jerome"
"Did you pack me any snacks for the ceremony?"
"Alfie there will be plenty of refreshments afterwards"
"what is all the noise about?!" victor shouted "shouldn't you all be at the school! Move it!"
"Guys, Ambers room in five minutes" Fabian whispered to Patricia and Alfie. Upstairs the gang sat in the nearly empty bedroom.
"well guys, this is it!" Amber said. "the last time Sibuna will ever be together."
"we've been through a lot together" Fabian said.
"it's been fun" Alfie said.
"Anyone else feel like we're missing something here?" Patricia asked. They all nodded. Nina. None of them had heard from her since she sent word that she wasn't coming back, but the final Sibuna meeting didn't feel complete without her.
"do you think maybe she'll come to the ceremony?" amber asked.
"she wouldn't fly all the way out here just to see us graduate, would she?" Alfie asked.
At the school, the halls were filled with students and teachers.
"would everyone please make their way outside!" mr sweet called. "the ceremony will begin in five minutes!" Eddie walked up to him.
"Ah Eddison," his dad said. They stood there for a moment quietly.
"I'd better get out there" Eddie then said.
"Eddie wait...I know we still have a lot to work out & things to talk about but you should know that...I'm proud of you & how far you've come since being here." he paused. " And I was wondering if you'd like to stay here, in England, with me."
"You mean, live with you?" Eddie asked taken aback.
"Yes Eddison."
"Call me Eddie & I'll consider it" Mr Sweet smiled. They hugged. Patricia walked by. "Yacker wait up!" He put his arm around her & they walked outside together.
Outside Amber & Fabian sat in their seats. Fabian was looking around.
"Fabian I know what you're thinking. I don't think she'll be here" Amber said
"I know but..." he started to say.
"I would like to welcome everyone to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2013." Mr Sweet said. "A congratulations to all the students of this school for their hard work & dedication over the years. And now to give the class speech, here is Fabian Rutter!" Fabian walked up to the stage a bit nervous. It had taken him a while to write this speech but he didn't think it was quite right. He looked at the crowd, looking through the faces and then his eyes fell on a familiar face. He blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things, but there she was, Nina Martin. She smiled at him & he smiled back. He folded up his speech & started talking.
"When I first came to Anubis House, I never imagined the things I would go through before this day came. But here we are & what a journey it's been. We learned new things, made new friends, lost friends & became better people along the way. But the journey has just begun. Soon we'll leave here to begin on another adventure. But I hope that we won't forget our time here and what we learned. Never forget the people we've met because they have made us into who we are today. So good luck to everyone here & congratulations."
Instead of returning to his seat, Fabian ran down the aisle toward Nina. He threw her up in a hug.
"I can't believe you're here!" he said. "I was hoping you might here, but..."
"did you really think I was going to miss this?" she asked. "We'll talk later, right now you've got some graduating to do!" she pushed him toward his seat. He paused, turned back & kissed her.
"I missed you!" and then went back to his seat. Amber waved.
After the ceremony, the whole gang surrounded Nina.
"Good to see you again roomie!" Amber said.
"long time no see!" Alfie said.
"we've missed you!" Patricia said.
"I missed you guys too!" Nina said. "congrats!"
"how long are you here for?" Patricia asked.
"not long, I have to be back in the states soon to get ready for university." she turned to Fabian. "Listen, I've been thinking, maybe we could attempt a long distance relationship? & see how it goes?" Fabian shook his head.
"I'm sorry but I don't think we can do that."
"Why not?!"
"because I'm moving to America"
"what?!"
"I'm going to Stanford in the fall."
"but that's only twenty minutes away from where I live!"
"I know"
"Fabes I love you!"
"I love you too"
"and now that we're all here," Amber said. They all stood in a circle and covered their right eye.
"Sibuna"
