A/N: I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to read and review my story, especially Owl Hero. Your in depth reviews are wonderful to read and I appreciate them very much. I had a lot of fun writing this story and seeing how you all reacted to it warms my heart. As of right now I don't have any plans for another Suite Life fic. But hey, never say never :) Anyway, I present to you the Epilogue of Gemini. Enjoy! Love, Ellivia22

Disclaimer: If I owned Suite Life I'd do a Suite Life in College. I know Disney was talking about it. Too bad it didn't work out. It would've been cool. Oh well :)

Gemini

Epilogue

One year later

Cody

A feeling of apprehension consumes me from head to toe as I go through the metal detectors. Even though Pelican Bay State Prison is a super maximum security prison I still feel very nervous about being here. Right behind me is Zack and Dr. Spaulding.

The past year hasn't been anything like I had planned my entire life to go. To my disappointment Yale was too full and I was rejected. So instead I stayed in Boston and went to a community college to get all my general education courses out of the way with Bailey, who decided to do the same in hopes that I would get into Yale the next year. And sure enough, I got accepted and will be attending in September. Life finally has gotten on track.

While I was attending the community college I spent six months in therapy with Zack to deal with all the trauma we experienced last year. Doing it together has helped us more than if we had attempted to do it alone. Zack's nightmares have finally stopped and it makes me so happy to see him get stronger every day. The stronger he gets, the stronger our bond is.

I have been so proud of Zack. After this experience he completely turned his life around. He attended summer school and earned his GED. Once we completed therapy he joined the U.S. Navy. Last week he graduated from boot camp at the top of his division. In a couple of days he starts his first job stationed at the base in San Diego. I'm ahead in all my classes so I decided to take a week off to help Zack move and start his new life. On the way we stopped in San Francisco at Dr. Spaulding's lab. It took a lot of convincing but I convinced the both of them that the only way to truly move forward with our lives is to visit Dr. Olson in prison and finally mend the bond that has been broken between the Spaulding twins the past 20 years.

"I-I'm not sure that I an do this," Dr. Spualding says hesitantly as we're being led to the visitor's center of the prison. "I haven't talked to him in so long. I have no idea what to say."

"It'll be okay," I say reassuringly. "Just tell him what you told me. I know that talking to him will help you. It'll help us too."

Oh yeah and how could I forget? Instead of going through a long and painful trial the prosecutor made a plea deal with Alex, Jeff, and Dr. Olson. Jeff received 15 years for kidnapping and assault. For torture, kidnapping, and attempted murder Alex received a 25 year sentence. As the mastermind behind it all and for attempted murder and kidnapping Dr. Olson received a 35 year sentence. Unfortunately all three have the possibility of parole but they have to serve 85% of their sentences. I was hoping that they would all spend the rest of their lives in prison for what they did, but I'm happy that they will serve most of their sentence before release.

Zack comes ahead so that he's in step with me. His shoulders are tensed up. I can feel his fear, despite all his effort to suppress it. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Yes. If we mend their bond Dr. Olson won't have reason to come after us again. I hope. Plus it will be a big step in our recovery if we forgive him." I squeeze his shoulder. "Don't worry. Alex and Jeff are on the other side of the prison. They won't hurt us. Just trust me, okay?"

"Okay."

We enter a large room. The room has white walls, almost like a mental hospital. Four gray tables are in the middle with 4 orange chairs, two on each side. A 32 inch TV is in the corner. Right next to the TV is another door. No on is in the room yet.

My heart thuds hard against my chest. I'm more terrified than I try to show. What if this doesn't work? What if I put me and my brother in more danger? When the other door of the room opens I instantly grab onto Zack's arm. Dr. Olson enters, followed by two corrections officer. One on each side.

I notice with great satisfaction that prison hasn't agreed with Dr. Olson. He looks like he's aged at least 10 years. He is unshaven, his face almost gaunt-like. I'd feel sorry for him if he hadn't done what he did. I am relieved to see that he is handcuffed and shackled. His expression is of complete shock. He obviously wasn't expecting us. "Zack. Cody. I wasn't expecting to see you."

"I know," I say before Zack can. "We were hoping to never see you again."

"Then why are you here?"

I realize that Dr. Spaulding didn't follow us into the room. My heart sinks. I was really hoping that this plan would work. "Because I wanted to see who was behind everything we went though. I'm sure you haven't forgotten that I was unconscious by the time we were brought to you." There's an edge to Zack's voice.

Dr. Olson's face remains blank, unaffected by Zack's words. "The point is, we are here to show you that we are stronger than you are and stronger than you'll ever be. And because of that strength we are able to forgive you for what you did to us." I say, my grip tightening on Zack's arm. The last thing we need is Zack throwing a punch at Dr. Olson-even if he rightly deserves it. "And-."

The door that we just came through opens. Dr. Spaulding enters the room, making my heart rise. Dr. Olson's face goes paler than any shade I've ever seen on a human being before. His eyes are huge, like oversized dinner plates. "D-Donald," Dr. Olson says once he recovers from the shock.

"Hello Ronald." Dr. Spaulding stands beside us, his arms folded.

"So did you come here to gloat? Before our estrangement you told me for years that I'd end up here. Well here I am. Are you happy now?! You can be the favorite now, the better twin. Just like you always wanted."

Dr. Olson's bitterness is so sharp it cuts the air. I expect for Dr. Spaulding to get angry. However he has the same look on his face that he did that day he visited me in the hospital. "No. I never wanted this to happen. I didn't want you to hate me so much that you'd end up hurting innocent people."

"You got us kicked out of the competition. You broke our bond."

"And you stole from me." Since I'm the closest to Dr. Spaulding I notice tears in his eyes. "Your own twin just so you could prove that y-you were better than me. That hurt me more than anything you had ever done to me. It made me realize that you don't care about me-or our bond."

An uncomfortable silence passes for a few minutes. Zack and I look back and forth between Dr. Spaulding and Olson, unsure where this conversation will lead. I want to say something to help, but feel like that this is something they need to work out on their own.

"I do care about our bond," Dr. Olson says quietly.

"What?" Dr. Spaulding says in surprise.

"I said, I do care about our bond," Dr. Olson says a little bit louder. "Don, has it ever occurred to you that I let you win a lot of the competitions we were in while growing up? I knew how important it was for you to get our parents approval and praise. So I held back and didn't work as hard as I could have. But that night-the night of the Isaac Newton Science Fair I wanted to win for once. I wanted our parents to know that I was worth something too. I wanted to prove myself. But I wasn't brave enough to use my own research I-I know it doesn't excuse what I did. I had hoped that after a few days that you would forgive me. But after years went by with our bond still broken, I realized you didn't want anything to do with me anymore."

"Ron," Dr. Spaulding says in a choked voice "Y-you care?"

"I always have, and even after 20 years I still do. I wanted to merge Zack and Cody so that they wouldn't go through the pain that we've gone through. I realize that I went about it the wrong way and that I've probably ruined our bond forever. I-I'm sorry, Don"

"You have no idea how many times I wanted to find you and reconcile. I would dream of us mending our bond and being the twins we were supposed to be. To tell you that... I'm sorry too. For everything." Dr. Olson's teary eyes matches Dr. Spaulding's. "I love you."

"I-I love you too," Dr. Olson chokes out.

I watch Dr. Spaulding step forward and embrace his brother in a tight hug. Because of the handcuffs Dr. Olson is unable to return the hug, but he accepts the gesture willingly. As weird as it seems to see two adults hugging and crying it warms my heart.

"Thank you, Zack and Cody," Dr. Olson says once they pull away from each other. "I know I don't deserve this, but I appreciate what you've done for me. And I'm so sorry for everything I put you guys trough."

I allow a small smile. "Thank you."

Knowing that they need some time alone I pull Zack out of the room. Together we make our way towards the exit. Zack throws his arm over my shoulder. "You never cease to amaze me, Codes. First you saved my life then managed to not only hep repair our broken bond, but the bond between the Spaulding twins. I'm so proud of you."

I grin. "Thanks. I'm proud of you, too Zack. You've completely turned everything around and have excelled in a way that a lot of people thought wasn't possible. You've become the person and brother I knew you could be."

"Don't get mushy with me," Zack says seriously. Then a grin breaks across his face as he ruffles my hair. "Love you, Codes."

"Love you too."

We exit the prison and head towards the car. Next stop is to meet up with London, who officially became Zack's girlfriend after leaving Seven Seas High, at the San Francisco Tipton for dinner and to stay the night. I let out a content sigh. I finally feel peace knowing that I can leave the past behind and look at the future with my brother, my twin, always by my side.

The End

Thank you SO much for reading Gemini. Please review :)
