Vendetta grinned. “Then yes! Yes, yes, yes!” They jumped out of pure excitement, giggling as they did so.

Khalil and Cody’s smiles both grew immensely.

“Then it’s done,” Cody declared. “We can formally adopt you both later.”

Valeri grinned at Vendetta.

Dawn shimmered excited yellows and pinks and twirled in the air.

Vendetta met her grin. “Awesome!”

Dusk’s arrows shot of their quiver, spinning in a circle around them. Dusk glowed a pleasant lavender. “Thank you both. So much.”

Khalil beamed.

“So, if we’ll be moving in with Cody and Khalil…” Valeri looked at the ex-WANNABES. “Does that mean our home will be vacant?”

Amy tossed some confetti into the air, and José broke into a grin. “You mean it?”

Valeri nodded.

“Do we have to pay rent?”

Valeri laughed. “How about you all just learn to cook, and treat Vendetta and me to some food whenever we come over?”

“Can do!” José grinned.

“Should we get out of here, then?” Valeri glanced around at the now-dissipating crowd. Even the news reporters were packing up.

Vendetta nodded. “I think so.” They held out their arm to Valeri. “Well, shall we?”

Spoiler! :
Ooh, sure! And maybe a sequel.

Epilogue

A few months later, Valeri and Vendetta were happily settled in with Cody and Khalil. The ex-WANNABES were enjoying a peaceful relaxing interesting life in the siblings’ old home, and they did indeed cook whenever the V siblings came over. (The first few times had resulted in a burnt mess and ordering pizza, but their most recent pasta attempt had been decent!)

Meanwhile, Joe was in prison. The newspapers had covered his downfall very thoroughly and cleared Cody’s name, and now the ex-self-proclaimed-hero was sitting in a corner of his cell, muttering under his breath.

“Wrong. Wrong. This is all wrong. Khalil will be mine. And the whole world will shout my name: Josephinzo the Great, Master of the Rising Sun, Conqueror of the Seven Seas, Enchanter Exalted, and Totally a Real-Life Wizard!”

Near his foot, a rat looked up and squeaked. And perhaps it was an odd quality of the echo, but one could’ve sworn it said, “Clickbait.”

Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure.
