Last Chappie :(

Madeleine's POV

"Atlantis will honour your names forever," Kida gifted crystal necklaces to each member of the crew. "I only wish there was more we could do for you."

"Uh, you know. Thanks anyway but I think we're good," Vinny, who was chewing on a matchstick, looked back over his shoulder at the Atlantean guards who were loading an airship in the shape of a narwhal with golden treasures from the city, the crew's reward for assisting with saving the city of Atlantis.

"They'll take you as far as the surface," Milo said. "We are really going to miss you and Mads, Milo," Audrey said softly. "You know, I'm going to reopen the flower shop and I'm going to think of you guys every single day," Vinny lifted Milo off the ground by his arms,

"Monday through Friday. 9:00 to 5:00. Saturday until 2:00. Sunday. I'm going to take Sunday off, probably, and maybe I'll go in for a couple of hours, you know but August.. I'm going to take August-" Vinny sauntered off, still rambling on.

Cookie approached with his hat in one hand and the other was hidden behind his back. "I ain't so good at speechifyin' but I wanted you to have this" Cookie handed me a jar of a peculiar substance. "It's the bacon grease from the whole trip."

"Cookie, I..." Madeleine began to speak but Cookie started blubbering and ran away. Audrey ran up to Milo from behind a planted a dainty kiss on his cheek. She then raised her arm. "Ah-hah, two for flinching," she feebly punched his arm, much gentler than the first time she pulled this stunt.

"See you, Milo," she flicked his nose before walking over to me before enveloping me in a tight hug. "Hey, Milo! Heh-heh" Mole approached from the ground with flies buzzing around his head.
"Mole," chuckled Milo who was quickly overcome with the stench.
"Mole. Wow, hey, well...Goodbye
Mole," I patted Mole's head and walked away.

"Now, you sure you want to stay?" Sweet questioned. "There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis." "Ah, " Milo swatted his hand down "I
don't think the world needs another hero. Besides, I hear there's an opening down here for an expert in gibberish."

"Two experts!" I giggled, getting on Milo's back for a piggyback ride. "You take good care of yourself, Milo Thatch," said Sweet. Milo put me down.

"Yeah, you too, Sweet," Milo replied. Dr Sweet held his hand out which Milo shook. "Come here," Sweet yanked Milo into a bone-cracking  hug. "Sweet, uh, before you go, could you.." Milo pointed to his neck. "No problem," Sweet put his skills to the test and cracked Milo's neck, alleviating any tension.

"Ah, oh, thanks," Milo smiled sheepishly. "Oh, you're getting a bill," laughed Sweet. "Can we go home now?" Packard huffed.

"Come on, y'all, let's get one last shot in front of the fish," Sweet encouraged. Following his lead, everybody posed around the treasure in front of the airship.

"Say gochk!" an Atlantean called out from behind the camera. "Gochk!" everyone said in unison and the camera shutter clicked.

Preston Whitmore reviewed all the photographs from the adventurous trip that were taken by Mrs Packard. Looking up from the Looking up from the stack, sitting ahead of him were the crew who were dressed in the most grandiloquent attire. After all, they could afford it now.

To preserve Atlantis' safety, Mr Whitmore had to swear the crew to secrecy. "Now, let's go over it again just so we got it straight. You didn't find anything?"

"Nope. Just a lot of rocks..." said Vinny, who couldn't seem to get rid of that darn matchstick in his mouth. "And fish. Little fish. Sponges," he made a gesture with his fingers.

"What happened to Helga?"

"Well, we lost her when a flaming zeppelin come down on her." Cookie said, only to be hit by Mrs Packard with her umbrella. "Uh, missing."

"That's right. And Rourke?"

"Nervous breakdown. You could say he went all to pieces," replied Sweet.
"In fact, you could say he was transamorgafied and then busted into a zillion.." Cookie trailed off when he caught the others glaring at him so he cleared his throat, "Ahem. He's missing too."

"What about Milo and Madeleine?" "Went down with the sub," Audrey answered. Mole had taken his clothes off and was busy burrowing himself deep into Whitmore's plant pot, sending balls of mud flying and creating a mess. Once he reached the bottom, he let out a devious laugh which would probably haunt everyone's nightmares.

"Lord, give me strength, Sweet facepalmed in dismay, shaking his head. Whitmore sighed. "I'm going to miss those kids," he continued to swipe through the pictures, some were of Milo and Kida affectionate with each other as a couple. "At least they're in a better place now."

Then he paused. In the stack, Mr Whitmore found a neatly wrapped gift and a note. With curiosity, Whitmore carefully opened the package to reveal an Atlantean crystal necklace that emitted a soft blue glow.

The note was written by Milo and Madeleine across a photograph of a young Milo and Thaddeus Thatch. Preston read it, hearing Milo's voice in his head.

Dear Mr. Whitmore,
We hope this piece of proof is enough for you. It sure convinced us!
Thanks, from all three of us - Milo and Madeleine Thatch

Mr Whitmore carefully tucked the photo into his pocket and gratefully acknowledged his gift by wearing it.

Kida, now Queen of Atlantis, and Milo, now King, led the ceremony in which the city of Atlantis honored the late king. His face was carved onto a stone. Milo and Madeleine were dressed up in ritual clothing and their skin was tattooed with Atlantean markings.

Maddy's outfit btw. Execpt for the headress Pic doesn't belong to me. It belongs to MagicMovieNerd on Deviantart.

When Milo finished the carving, he stepped back to join his sister who was consoling Kida. The queen gently blew on her crystal necklace before gently tapping it against the stone exterior.

The crevices in the king's face lit up blue. The stone rumbled loudly as it was lifted into the air. The crowd watched in respectable silence in memory of the king's reign. Kida pulled Milo and Madeleine aside with a warm smile on her face.

Like they had the first day they met, the trio climbed up an old monumental sculpture. Just as they reached the top, a flock of green birds flew away with a screech.

Milo pulled his wife and his little sister close, holding the two girls in his arms. The three craned their necks up to get a better view, watching as the old king's stone face floated higher and joined the previous kings of the past that were orbiting around Atlantis' energy sphere.

Madeleine Heidi Thatch once felt like she didn't belong anywhere, now, she was finally home.

AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Madeleine is finally finished! I'm gonna miss my babies Milo, Kida, and Madeleine but I'll always remember them. Plus, this is the first fic I ever finished. That's an accomplishment! I can't wait to write my Treasure Planet fic and I hope you'll love Lucy and Jim as much as you love Madeleine and Milo.
