So this is it! This is the final chapter of this story! It is the longest story I've ever written, and I think the only multi-chapter story that I've finished. I'm very proud of this and I'm so glad I had all of you read it! Thank you so much for staying by me through it all! It took me forever to decide how I should finally end it, and then I knew. So please review one last time, and stay tuned for more of my stories! Thanks again, so much!

Two months later

And so life went on, as it always did, and always will. Sandy was out of the hospital and home with her family. Sandy, Jan, Marty, Doody, and Danny were to start college after Christmas break, thanks to Miss Lynch. Sonny and Roger would continue to try to get into college.

It was New Year's Eve and the whole gang plus Patty were gathered in Jan's basement. They laughed and had a good time just like they always had. It was eleven thirty and everyone was ready to celebrate the New Year. Everything was oddly quiet, and Jan spoke.

"So…is this it?" she said. "I mean…we're all leavin' tomorrow…we're all goin' different places…what's gonna happen?"

"Gee…" Marty said.

"Hey, don't ya remember?" Danny said. "We'll always be together. Right? Sure we'll be apart for a while, but we'll all be back together one of these days won't we?"

"Right," Doody said. "I mean…Frenchy ain't here no more…but we're all still together right? She's still with us really, ain't she?"

Patty sniffled and snuggled in closer to Doody. Doody looked at her strangely, but then put his arm around her and smiled.

"After all that happened…" Roger said. "We're still together, ain't we?"

"What's a little thing like college gonna do to us?" Sonny said. "We all been to hell and back; I think we can handle this,"

"Yeah, you're right," Kenickie said.

"A-wop-baba-loo-bop!" Sandy said.

"A-wop-bam-boom!" Everyone shouted. They all laughed.

"You guys!" Marty said. "It's almost midnight!"

They all huddled together and counted down until the very last second.

"Five…four…three…two…one!" They all cheered and threw their arms around each other, wishing each other a happy New Year. Rizzo smiled, once again feeling nothing but happiness. She knew that she'd still be broken, but as long as she had her Pinks and her boys, they would keep her held together until the very end.

Happy New Year French. She looked up. I miss ya, kid.

Not long after that, everyone had to leave for college. They said tearful goodbyes at the airport, or the train station, but each one of them knew this wasn't really goodbye. It couldn't have been. After all, what could keep them apart?

We'll always be together…
