Vin's P.O.V

It's the last day of grade six, the last day of Pinkerton. Mr Sopper is making some heartfelt speech, but I'm barely listening. All I can think about is how I.N.K is finished. No more missions, no more Macbeth, no more evil plots to foil. I look over at my friends standing beside me. Trixie, the one who coordinates the mission, Newton, the gadget guy, and Zero, the firepower. Trix and Newt are both bawling their eyes out, hugging each other. As I watch, Newt gives Trixie a little peck on the cheek, which makes her blush. I know he has a major crush on Trixie, even though they're a couple of years apart, and I smile slightly. Newton shoots a sideways glance at me, and I give him a discreet thumbs up. He grins, and flicks his head towards Zero, mouthing now your turn.

I take a deep breath, and am about to say something to Zero when Mr Sopper makes an announcement.

" Now students, I'm sure you're all ecstatic that this day has finally come. So to help celebrate, I've invited everyone's parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to come join the party!"

Everyone gives a loud cheer, everyone that is, except me and Zero. Zero is looking at Mr Sopper in total disbelief, and my eyes are starting to tear up. He knows I have no parents, he knows no one is coming for me. Mr Sopper scans the crowd, sees me, and jogs over.

" Vin, I have some exciting news for you!" He says, his eyes twinkling. " You've been adopted."

I stare at him, opening and closing my mouth like a goldfish. My friends swamp me, and we do a cheesy, but nice, group hug.

" Sir," I say, tears starting to cascade down my cheeks. " Sir I..."

"Mr Sopper seems to understand that I'm speechless. He smiled warmly at me. " They're coming to the graduation... wait, thats them now!"

A stylish convertible pulls up at the gate, and out hop two nice looking middle age people. The man has thick brown hair, green eyes and a twinkly smile. The woman has blonde hair like me, with chocolate brown eyes and the same kind smile. Mr Sopper waves them over, and soon I am standing before my adoptive parents.

" Cedric, Josie, this is Vin," says Mr Sopper, gesturing towards me.

" Uh, Hi," I say nervously. We look each other up and down for a second, before they pull me into a huge hug. I know in an instant that I'll be happy with them. I beam, and look over at my friends. Newton and Trixie are both crying happy tears for me, but Zero looks odd. She's fidgeting with the sleeve of her jacket, and keeps shooting sideways glances at Mr Sopper. I am about to ask her whats wrong, but my new parents start bombarding me with questions about my life so far. Not wanting to seem rude, I answer all of them politely.

Zero's P.O.V

" Mr Sopper," I say quietly. " Can I have a word?"

Mr Sopper nods curiously, and I pull him off to the side of the crowd. People's parents are starting it arrive. I see Newton conversing happily with his father, who is wearing a lab coat, and Trixie chatting happily to her mother and father, who are both wearing glittery suits. I rip my gaze away from this happy sight, and look at Mr Sopper.

" Did you call my dad?" I ask bluntly.

" Well, of course Zero," he replies, slightly confused.

I shift my weight from foot to foot.

" Right. Did he... answer?"

" No, I left a voice mail. But he called me back and said he could come."

" Oh."

" Yes, oh I almost forgot, he told me to tell you that you two were going to have a lot of fun over the holidays! Isn't that nice!"

My mouth dries up. " Um, yeah. That's really... great."

Mr Sopper smiles. " It's lovely that you have such a nice relationship with your father."

He walks off, and I stare at the ground, my shoulders sagging.

" Yeah, a lovely father-daughter relationship."

Trixie's P.O.V

I pull myself away from my parents, who are starting to do some embarrassing dance, and walk over to Zero. She's acting a little strange and, well, not Zero like. She's standing off to one side, and every time a car door slams, her head darts up. I lay a hand in her shoulder, and she flinches.

" Hey Zero, are you alright?"

" Y-yeah," she stammers.

" Is your dad coming?" I ask softly.

" Um, yeah."

" That's great news!"

" I guess."

I look around, thinking of something to say. I notice that a battered old car is pulling up to the front of the school.

Without warning, it smashes clean through the fence, and thunders across the playground, heading straight towards me and Zero. Zero swears and grabs my arm, pulling me out of the way just as the car roars past.

Shoot, forgot to mention that a couple of years have gone passed since the end of the show. All the gang pretty much look the same, except for some obvious... ( cough cough) body changes ( cough). Anyways, please review, it means so much :)
