This is it! It's short I know, but then again most epilogues are. Someone I think everyone knows is going to make a surprise appearance! Thank you for reading!

Epilogue

Mac spent his Sunday morning putting his luggage in the back of the Specter Speeder. He was surprised that Daniel actually snuck a "souvenir" in Hawkes's suitcase. The boy said it was actually a special "surprise" for Chief Sinclair.

"Someone needed to show that guy some manners," Danny explained the previous night. "I don't care who he is! No one messes with my friends like that!"

Mac was having a hard time keeping a straight face just picturing the look on Sinclair's face when he gets his "surprise."

"Ready to go, Detective?" Tucker asked. He and Sam were doing a systems check on the Speeder before they left.

"I'm rather nervous to tell you the truth," Mac admitted. "Meeting someone from Greek mythology would give anyone butterflies."

Sam shrugged. "Eh, it's normal, I guess." She turned to Tucker. "Where's Danny? I haven't seen him since we fought Shane Casey."

"Somewhere in the Ghost Zone," Tucker replied checking the fuel tank. "He said something about Aiden and Angell owing him a favor."

"A favor?" Sam parroted. "For what?"

Tucker just shrugged. Mac answered the question. "I think it's pretty obvious. In New York, Aiden asked Phantom to help her investigate the murder case I was on. Then here in Amity Park, Angell asked you guys to help her and Aiden catch Shane Casey. Phantom did both which makes them indebted to him."

Sam blinked then shrugged. "I guess it makes sense. Danny did tell the Observants that they helped him catch Casey. I figured that would make them even."

Tucker rolled his eyes. "Come on, Sam! Giving partial credit for catching a fugitive would NOT make things even between them."

"It probably would be a scratch on the surface," Mac added.

Sam rolled her eyes and the trio got in the Specter Speeder. Following Danny's instructions and Sam's Greek mythology book, they made it to Pandora's castle without any problems (except the maze). The party was going on strong.

Ember and her crew were setting up the stage in the backyard. She turned around and saw them approaching her. She put her hands on her hips. "Are you dipsticks ready for this or what?"

"Just no funny business alright?" Sam warned. She gave Tucker and Mac a pair of Fenton Phones just in case. For some reason Danny asked Sam to bring an extra pair, which confused her. She is already wearing a pair and Danny is usually immune to Ember's tricks (by 'usually' it refers to his first encounter with her).

While Mac was tuning the guitar given to him, Phantom finally showed up. "Hey guys," he greeted.

Mac looked up. "Where have you been?"

Phantom smiled confidently. "Let's just say I found someone alive who has been wanting to see you for some time." He turned to Sam. "Did you bring an extra pair of Fenton Phones?"

Sam pulled them out of her pocket. "Yeah, I did but why do you need them?"

Phantom chuckled and turned to Mac. "Can I plea the Fifth to that question?"

Sam scowled. "Hey!" Mac chuckled. Phantom took the Fenton Phones and flew back into Pandora's castle.

Tucker was just as confused as Sam and Mac. "I wonder what Danny is up to?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," Sam muttered. "Do you two have any ideas?"

When neither of them answered her, she turned to them. "Guys?" Both the former Marine and the techno-geek were staring in the direction Phantom went. The three of them saw that he was walking back toward them with a woman in tow. What got their attention was that this woman was human. She looked to be in her late 30s or early 40s (I don't know how old she is! I'm just estimating!). Sam and Tucker were amazed at how curly her hair was.

Sam snapped out of her gaze and smacked Tucker in the back of the head. "Pull yourself together before you start drooling!"

"Did you get a good look at her, Sam?" Tucker responded. "For someone who's as old as Mac, she's pretty hot!"

"Tuck, she's old enough to be your mom!" she exclaimed. She was surprised that Mac didn't say anything yet. They both noticed that Mac was no longer with them. He was walking towards Phantom and the woman. They both followed him.

"Stella?" Mac called.

The woman smiled. "Long time, no see, Mac!"

Mac smiled back and hugged his old partner. "It's good to see you again!"

"Good to see you too!" she replied.

Sam and Tucker were confused. How did Mac know this woman? "What the heck is going on here?" Sam asked exasperatedly.

Stella held out her hand. "I'm Stella Bonasera. I used to be Mac's second-in-command at the crime lab a couple of years ago."

Sam and Tucker both shook her hand. "You sure you're not an undercover supermodel?" asked Tucker.

Stella laughed, blushing. "No, I'm head of the New Orleans Crime Lab now."

Sam cut in. "Did you used to date Mac?"

Stella laughed, blushing further. Mac turned red as a tomato.

"W-We went out for drinks occasionally," Mac stuttered, "but nothing really happened between us."

The three teens snickered. Mac turned to Stella. "How did you get here?"

Stella sighed. "Well, Phantom and two certain ghostly detectives came to my apartment last night and asked if I wanted to meet the one and only Pandora. Of course I accepted the offer."

"You just accepted Phantom's offer just like that?" Mac asked skeptically.

"Okay, I was a little reluctant at first but when Aiden and Angell showed up I knew that Phantom wasn't kidding. This is, like, every Greek's dream come true! They just didn't tell me that you were going to be here."

"Hey! I just wanted to surprise you two!" Phantom defended. He was secretly hoping that their reunion would be a little more dramatic.

"Well, thank you, Phantom," Stella gratefully said. "I'm just lucky that it was my day off." She gave Phantom a grateful hug. She shivered when she let him go. "You're freezing!"

Phantom shrugged. "Comes with the whole half-ghost thing, I guess."

"Hey dipsticks!" Ember called. "Are we going to do this thing or what?"

Sam scowled at the rock star ghost. "Keep your spandex on! We're coming!"

She turned back to the group. "So, how are you guys going to get back home?"

"Aiden and Angell are going to escort me back to New Orleans once this party's over. They said they're going to borrow some magic map to get me there. They also said that Phantom has to come along as well," Stella explained wondering why the white-haired teen had to come with her.

"It's a long story," Phantom explained. "We'll be using the map to get Mac back to New York once we drop you off."

"Hopefully the Specter Speeder can keep up with the Infi-map," Tucker mumbled.

"Hey! Get your 40-something year old butt over here!" Ember yelled.

Mac rolled his eyes. "I gotta get ready."

Stella kissed his cheek. "Break a leg!" Mac smiled, blushing and walked off toward Ember, Phantom following close behind.

"Took you long enough!" Ember yelled.

Stella folded her arms. "That girl has no respect for authority, does she?"

"Nada," Tucker said bluntly.

"She hates anyone over thirty," Sam explained dully.

The concert then started. Sure enough, Mac was as good as Aiden and Angell said he was. His performance surprised the teenagers. Stella just smiled and watched.

When the party came to a close, Mac spoke into the microphone. "This last song is for those who helped us recapture Shane Casey."

They ended the party playing "Baba O'Riley" by The Who. No one noticed a certain ghost leave a bouquet of roses for Mac in the Specter Speeder.

Yay! That's the end...or is it? I'm still thinking about writing that midquel with Dani and the Miami crew...

Well, what do you think? I think it's no mystery who left those flowers for Mac (hint, hint). I like Stella so I wanted to include her at least once (am I the only one who noticed how close those two were during the show?).

I hope you folks enjoyed this story! I love all of my reviewers so keep reviewing! ^_^
