Suddenly, there were others too, hundreds of them, all thanking me for giving their children, nephews, nieces, something to believe in.  “Thank you for making my son a leader.”  I knew who this man was as soon as he spoke, Sneers’ father, I had made him the leader of the Freedom Fighters when Smellerbee, Longshot, and I left.  “Jet, Jet.”  I was whirled around by an elderly woman, I knew who she was, she reminded me too much of Smellerbee.  “When you get back down there”, She pointed down at her feet, my eyes widened, back?  What’d she mean when I got back?  Back where?  “You tell my little Cecilia, her parents are alive, her mother anyway, you tell her.”  “What?  What’d you mean back?  Who’s Cecilia?”  She was gone the next moment and I was standing alone with my parents.  They each hugged me.  “”Mom, what did she mean back?”  I was crying again, not out of happiness, but out of fear.  I couldn’t loose them again.  Not now.  “It’ll be alright, son.”  My father hugged me.  “What?  What’ll be aright?”  “It’s not your time yet.”  Mom told me.  “Huh…”  “You still have work to do.  The world still needs the Freedom Fighters, even now.”  “Now?  What’s now?”  My dad gestured toward the image of Ba Sing Sae that seemed to be floating in mid air.  It was peaceful, people were playing ball, celebrating… the war… the war was over…
“Goodbye, son.”  Mother hugged me tight one more time.  “Goodbye?  No…”  My father hugged me.  “We’ll see each other again, soon.”  “No… where are you going?”  They started to disappear, retreating into the white nothingness.  “No!  Come back!”  I tried to run after them, but they just kept getting farther and farther away, and I wasn’t getting any closer.  I yelled and screamed for them, they just kept going.  “Mom!  Dad!”  My throat horsed as I tripped and fell.  “Mom!  Dad!  No!  Come back!  Come back!”
