Hello readers of the galaxy! Yes, I am back with another chapter! This chapter took the most time because I didn't know how I wanted to word it and I didn't want it to be a crappy ending with unsolved problems everywhere. Yeah, this is the last chapter..*mixture of sad and happiness* For the last chapter of a story, the ending kind of stinks. I don't like it!

By the way, I am giving you time right now to make another page to look up Ultraviolet by the Stiff Dylans on Youtube or something. You need to. Now. Seriously, I'm giving you time!
Disclaimer: No, I do not own ASOUE or Kladora. I should probably work on that.
When you get to the bottom, the italics is Quigley and the bold italics is both Quigley and Duncan. You'll know when you get to it. You probably know now.

Chapter 27:
"Come on, lets go!" Carmelita says, grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the 'stage'.
"No, Carmelita, I don't think I want to do this anymore," I say, trying not to dragged.
Carmelita stops and turns to me. "Are you kidding me? This was your idea! You came up with it because you felt sooo guilty and depressed and guilty and sorry and guilty! Do you want to go on with the rest of your life with that pit of shame in your soul for all eternity? No! You are getting up there and you are going to make this work. Now come on!" and she continues to drag me.
Again...so much in such few words...
She drags me to the 'stage' (which is just grass..with burrito reamins..and more grass) where instruments were being placed. She takes a microphone that was left on a microphone stand and says into it, "Excuse me, everybody."
All heads turn to us and I can feel my face grow warm.
Center of attention.
I obviously didn't think this through.
"We have something that we'd like to say," Carmelita hands me the microphone.
"Hey, everyone..." I start awkwardly. "I'm Isadora Quagmire, as you know-or, well, a quarter of you know-and..."
What do I say after that? I really should have written this down or something!
Carmelita, saving my life, takes the microphone and says, "Cutting to the chase, we were witches to Bonnie and played those pranks on her-you know, the suspicious liquid and the hair dye and such- it was my idea, and we're sorry. Good night everyone!"
"Hold on, wait a second," I say, taking back the mic, "It wasn't just you. Its my fault and I'm the only reason why you helped."
I say it more torwards Carmelita than the crowd.
"Yeah, but you came to me for help."
"No, you started helping me out of nowhere and I, so dumbly listened to you."
"Are you trying to say something?" she exclaims.
I sigh with exasperation and cover the top of the mic, "This is ridiculous, we're fighting over who's idea it was!"
"What did you mean by 'dumbly'?" she asks, totally ignoring my comment.
"I was talking about myself!"
"Oh.." she whispers. Then after a couple of seconds, she says, "You do realize everyone is still watching us, right?"
Oh...right...
I turn towards everyone and say, "It doesn't matter whose idea it was because embarrassing her in front of everyone was wrong and we know that now. We aplogized earlier, but sorry doesn't cover it. The both of us have caused everyone to tease her to an endless point. Bonnie is a great person, but because of us, she has to suffer the torment of other people, and she does not deserve it. So don't make fun of her. If you just have to tease someone, make fun of us then."
"For what? Being stupid?" Carmelita asked, confused.
"Yeah, sure."
Camelita takes the microphone and says, "Which isn't really a good idea since I am Carmelita Spats and I am very capable of sweet revenge...Thank you and Goodnight!" She throws the microphone to the ground and drags me away.
"Lets hear it for Carmelita and my litttle sister, even though I have no idea what they were talking about!" I look back to see Duncan with the microphone. Slowly, everyone began clapping, which led to cheering.
"Huh, well whaddya know?" Carmelita says, "Applause. I bet half of the people are clapping because we looked great up there."
I laugh, relieved to be done with it.
"YOU TWO!" We turn to look at where the loud, menacing voice was coming from. Its Nero quickly walking towards us, his face a dark red. "YOU JUST WASTED EVERYONE'S TIME! DETENTION! ALL DAY TOMORROW!"
"But tomorrow's Saturday!" Carmelita complains.
"I DON'T CARE!" Nero shouts and stomps away.
Everyone had gotten quiet while Nero was yelling at us. Then, interrupting the silence, music randomly starts playing and everyone begins talking to each other and do whatever it is people do at dances.
"I knew it. My dad was right," Carmelita says.
"Right about what?"
"Apologizing only gets you into trouble. I never should've let you talk me into doing that."
"Wow," someone says from behind me. "I was not expecting that!"
I turn around. "Bonnie!"
"Did you watch us?" Carmelita asks, "Because we are not doing that again!"
"Don't worry, I saw," Bonnie smiles. "I want to thank you. That obviously wasn't easy and I appreciate what you were doing."
"So you forgive us, right? I don't think we can say we're sorry in a bigger way than that," I point out.
"Only if you'll forgive me," Bonnie says. "I shouldn't have believed what Kelsey said without at least meeting you first. Plus I lied to Klaus about you and Jake and all."
"But you had a reason to-" I start, but am interrupted by Carmelita.
"-Yes, yes you did lie to him. I bet that poor boy is either mad, depressed, or hopelessly confused. You would be lucky if we found the space in our hearts to forgive you," Carmelita says dramatically.
I raise an eyebrow at her.
"What?" Caremlita says, "My mother always told me to never accept apologies."
"We forgive you," I say, turning to Bonnie. "Yeah, we do," Carmelita agreed, bowing her head in shame of forgiving.
"Great," Bonnie says, smiling again. "So are we friends now?"
"Yeah," I smile.
We look at Carmelita.
"Sure, why not?" she says at last.
"Great," Bonnie says happily.
"Bonnie!" We hear someone shout. "What are you doing talking to them?"
"Hello, Kelsey," I say with fake cheer.
"Swamp trash," she scoffs.
"Oh, Kelsey," I start, "grumpy as ever. If you had a pick-axe and a hat, you'd be mistaken for one of the seven dwarfs."
Kelsey makes a disgusted look and turns to Bonnie. "You're not actually going to stay here and talk to them, are you? Not after what they did."
Carmelita rolls her eyes and says in an exasperated tone, "Ugh, did you not listen to us up there talking in front of everyone? We're sorry."
"And I forgave them," Bonnie said, "You lied to me about them."
"I wasn't lying," Kelsey says, "but if thats how you're going to be. Then fine." And she stomped away.
"You know," I start, "she can really hold a grudge. You have to give her credit for that." Carmelita and Bonnie nod in agreement.
"So," Bonnie says awkwardly, "how long have you known Klaus?"
"Since we were thirteen. We were best friends, but I don't think it mattters anymore.." I answer.
"NOOOO!" Duncan yells running past us, "NO MORE ANIMAL CRACKERS!"
"But their magicaly delicious!" Quigley yells running after him.
"No, Quigley, thats Lucky Charms! My animal crackers are lovably delicious!" Sunny corrects, running after the both of them as fast as her little legs can carry her.
"Uhh.." Bonnie looks confused as she watches them run by.
"I'd rather not explain," I shake my head.
"Well now you're going to have to explain something," Carmelita says.
What?
I look at her, "Um, I-"
"Hey, Isadora."
I look behind me.
"Klaus," I breathe.
"I lied about Jake and Isadora, Klaus," Bonnie says, right away, "I just wanted to get back at her, but we're okay now and I just..you know, thought you should know. Sorry about that.."
Klaus puts his hand on the back of his head. "Its okay, I guess. I knid of figured you did."
"And for your information," Carmelita says rudely, "You had absouletly no reason to be upset with Isadora. It was all purely my idea. And if you think of anything beyond that, I will see to it personally that you are tied to a boulder and thrown into a prison from the top of a 179 foot cliff where you will be forced to watch ruffians rip off the heads of innocent teddy bears!"
Klaus, eyes widened with fear, takes a step back.
"Now, Bonnie and I are gong to leave, so you two: Talk." Carmelita adds. Then she takes Bonnie's arm and says cheerfully, "Come on, Bonnie. Now that Klaus is technically off limits now, let's play Matchmaker so I can show you all the much hotter guys that are worthy of a female's presence!" And she drags Bonnie into the crowd.
Thank you, Carmelita. Thank you for leaving me alone with him.
Hence the sarcasm.
"So.." Klaus says awkwardly, taking a step towards me. "I heard you're apology."
"Yeah," I say, "It was the only way I could think of to get Bonnie to forgive me so..."
"It was pretty cool. What you said up there and all." he takes another step closer. "And I think its my turn to apologize."
I raise an eyebrow. "You didn't do anything wrong."
"Actually, I think I may have overreacted the other night."
"No you didn't," I argue, "I would've reacted the same way."
He scoffs jokingly, "No you wouldn't."
"Yes, I would!"
"Okay then," he smiles. "Lets say you did. I would forgive you. Would you forgive me?"
"No," I say flatly.
His smile drops.
"I'm just kidding, of course I would," I say
Klaus smiles again, wider this time. "One question though," he says.
"What?"
"Why'd you do it? The stuff to Bonnie, I mean."
Oh.
Shizzers.
"Well I, you see, I..." I stutter and finish the sentece with inunderstandable words.
"What?"
"I was..um..I was a bit...jealous? Maybe? Perhaps? Possibly?" I say awkwardly.
"Why were you jealous?"
Stop. Asking. Questions. You said one question!
"Well, she was spending all that time with you and I just..well, yeah..." I look down at my feet as my face grows warm."
Klaus takes another step closer and lowers his head to look at me. "Scared you were losing your best friend?"
"Something like that," I look up at him for a second, then look back down.
"No one can replace you Isadora," Klaus says with a serious tone.
I look up and smile at him. "You really think that?"
He smiles and nods. "Remember that couplet I came up with in detention?"
I nod.
"And when I was talking about you and Jake the other night and I said I loved you?"
Oh yeah. That night he had said 'loved' as in: in the past. That sent me over the edge.
"Well I do love you, Isadora. I know it may seem a bit strange coming out like that, but after all these years, I couldn't help but fall in love with you. We've been through so much together, and now I can't imagine life without you. You're my best friend and you make me happy. Bonnie's great, but she's not you."
My heart beats faster and my face begins to burn as he just said everything I felt. I lower my head a little in hope he won't see me blush. "I feel the same way about you."
It's then that I notice how close we are. Then Klaus takes another step towards me, making us about three inches apart. I look back up to see his deep green eyes looking at straight at mine. He takes my hand and leans towards me. I close my eyes and feel his lips press lightly against mine. Imediatley I feel a sparkling firework between us. Its a short, innocent kiss, but its as amzing as I imagined it would be. We pull back and smile at each other.
"WOOOO! Come on, Duncan! Lets get this party started!" Quigley yells as he runs past us.
"Right behind ya, bro! WOOO!" Duncan yells, running past us as well.
"Should we be worried?" Klaus asks jokingly.
Rock music begins to play. I look at the stage to see Duncan rocking out on a guitar and Quigley jumping around with a microphone. I start laughing. "Probably."
"She is a wave and she's breaking
She's a problem to solve
And in the circle she's making I will always revolve."
"Did you know Quigley could sing?" Klaus asks.
"Yeah," I say, "But he'd only do something like this if he was hyped up on animal crackers."
"And on her sight, these eyes depend
Invisible and Indivisible,"
"Shall we dance?" he asks, holding out his hand.
I smile and place my hand in his. "We shall."
We make our way to where my brothers are dancing around. He puts his hands on my waist and I place my arms around his neck.
"That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burns when I stand beside it
Your light is Ultraviolet,"
"Okay guys, I know you love each other and everything," Carmelita says coming up from behind us, "but that is not how you dance when you're at a dance with Carmelita Spats." She pulls us apart and starts doing something weird with our arms.
Visions so insane
Travel unravelling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet"
Quigley takes my hand and strats twirling me around as he sings and I laugh at the funny faces he's making. Violet with Sunny dance around us while Duncan makes his way to us and starts dancing around on his guitar like an idiot.
"Now is a phase and its changing
Its rotating us all
Thought we were safe but we're dangling and its too far to survive the fall
And this I know
It will not bend
Invisible and indivisible,"
Lightning lights up the sky and thunder roars through the air. Everything stops as it begins to pour buckets of rain. After a few seconds of quie t-besides the rain- Quigley and Duncan shrug and the music starts up again, louder than before.
"That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burns when I stand beside it
You're light is Ultraviolet,"
I'm probably going to get strep again from this rain, but I don't care. Either way I'm not going back to the nurse's office. Maybe Klaus will take care of me.
"Visions so insane
Travel unravelling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
You're light is Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet!"
As Klaus takes my hands and starts dancing with me ballroom style with the biggest smile on his face, I wonder what life will be like for us after tonight. How everythings going to turn out.
I remember how I would daydream about him all the time.
Every night and every day,
I'll think about you all the way
That obviously hasn't change and it won't change. I Love Klaus Baudelaire and when I'm with him I feel that "reach for the stars, over the fence World Series" kind of stuff feeling. Its the best thing in the world and I know I'm never letting go.
Everything is Perfect.
Absouletly Perfect.
I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry...*reads over chapter*
"We pull back and smile at each other."
What kind of a sentence is that? I. FAIL. *bangs heads on table and sobs uncontrollably* If you have a better sentence, just plug it in, please.
I want to thank everyone who read this story, everyone who made couplets to be in this story, everyone who favorited this story, everyone who put this story on Story Alert and everyone who reviewed this story and everyone who gave me critique to help me get better. :) I probably didn't get any better, but I appreciate you trying anyways! x)
Do you guys want an epilougue? If you want an epilogue just let me know in your review! But you're going to have to wait a bit because I don't have it planned out and such. So...yeah! :)
The first couplet in the end was written by Salami The Llama. :) The second one was mine. Yes that last stuff in italics is a couplet. Does 'perfect' rhyme with 'perfect'? Yes, I do believe it does. :)
"That fire you ignited, good, bad and undecided burns when I standd beside it. Your light is Ultraviolet..."

Well, until next time everyone! Goodbye!
