By: M14Mouse

Summary: Sequel to See Through Skies: Simple words scratched on a piece of paper will take Dustin and Chip to far away places and adventures with pirates, princesses, and gods and oh…and saving the world too.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

Cam,

We decided write this final letter together because separate letters made no sense. We would be repeating ourselves and you hated it when we did that, dude. We wanted to tell you…most of all, thank you. Thank you for saving our butts! Without your help, we would have been goners. Dude, that thing with the god was a close call.

Don't feel guilty. Not your fault that we got iced. It was worth it. The world and you guys are safe. Very worth it, dude. We got to see the world and several other worlds that we didn't know exist. That was awesome. Totally awesome. Don't regret finding the scrolls, Cam. You know in Sensei's letter…I told him to make sure you don't brood. Don't lie because you do.

We have eyes everywhere.

Chip is right, dude. I told Tori to drag you outside at least once a day and teaching doesn't count. Since I am all poof like now, Tori will make sure that you do that. If Tori needed some help, I told Maddie to give her a hand. You are outnumbered.

Chip is gone for a moment because I asked. I want to tell you…thanks for being an awesome friend. I don't know where you stuff all of that information, dude but you are totally awesome. I know that I am a bit of an airhead and I can make you all twitchy. You didn't scream at me too much. You believed in me and that meant a lot. I am not good with words, dude. I just don't know what to write. I want to write that I have water in my boot and it is annoying. I want to write that this place has the most awesome view ever. I want to say so much but this is so hard, dude. I have to say good-bye. I realize that I totally suck at it because I don't want to say good-bye. I want to see what happens next. I can feel like the best part of the story is yet to come and totally can't skip to the end. I want to see if Blake popped the question. I want to see you take over your dad's place at school. I want to see my students graduate. But I won't and it sucks, dude

Downside of being a superhero.

I know that you and the guys will tell me all about.

Sorry, dude…I am sooo rambling.

Just thanks, dude.

Hey and maybe…maybe….we will make it!

That would kind of awesome and totally give you guys a heart attack when we show up!

You know…I think that me and Chip will do that because we are that awesome.

I have to go now and write to everyone else. Don't want them to feel left out.

So…remember to get sleep and eat.

OH! Have fun, dude. Because you know…the computer may be awesome and all but you need some air.

Really…enough rambling.

Well…this is goodbye…and thanks

Dustin and Chip

P.S: Hey, Cam…this is Chip. Dustin is asleep at the moment. So, I decide to write something down real quick. Although, I covered everything that I wanted to say…I really wanted to thank you. I know that we said that a million times before…well…one more time for the road right? I know that you guys are going to mourn for a long time but I promise you that it will get better. You will remember the happy stuff…the stupid stuff we did. You laugh over those moments when you are having a pizza or watching your students. Please remember that, Cam. As yellows, we want you to heal. As friends, we want to remember but move forward. That is all that we ask.

Bye…and Good Luck

Chip

Cam stared at the letter for a long time. It took the end of the world for them to get so wise. Briefly, he wondered about the other notes. What did Chip and Dustin wrote them? Did it tear out their hearts as well as his? Did it make them cry or laugh? Did they give them same wisdom and solemn good-bye as him? Cam crumbled up the letter and tossed into the trash can. He wished that he never found that damn scroll.

He bowed his head and cried.

-BiABiA-

Cam's fingers danced across the keyboard as he stared at the monitor. He was busy transferring the entire library of scrolls into digital format. Many of the scrolls were falling apart at the mere touch. It has become It amazed him that some of the scrolls were that well preserved. He picked up another scroll and broke the seal. He unrolled it and placed it into the scanner. He frowned softly as the scanner scan the new scroll. This was new.

The pictures were nothing like he ever seen. It was a knight and a ninja fighting along side each other. He thought at first that it was myth but the more that he read the writing…the more he thought of otherwise.

His eyes widen and he nearly dropped the scroll on the ground.

He needed to talk to his father…now.

End of That First Step And The Last

Next Chapter: The Same Old Verse

A/N: The first part is depressing. I am not totally sorry about that. I wanted a clean break from See Through Skies. While, this story for the most part will be quite funny, it will be bittersweet. I don't know how long this story will be but it will be close to the length of See Through Skies. Anyway, read and review if you wish.
