The Dwayne Wayne Chronicles-Epilogue

Disclaimer: The usual spiel, Sara, Sekola, and Woo'oof aren't my characters. The members of the Wu-Tang Clan don't endorse this and I'm not making money for mentioning them.

Mrs. Wayne stood in front of her grandson's room, waiting for him to make his appearance. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. Today was May 21, 1998 and her grandson was going to graduate first among 320 students. She was so proud that her grandson was starting off his life so successfully. She was going to miss him when he left to go to Japan in a month or two. Mrs. Wayne was also curious as to the surprise he had in store for her. He'd been hinting for the past couple of weeks that he was going to do something for her, but for the life of her she couldn't figure out what. Mrs. Wayne also thought about Dwayne's relationship with Tammy. When they came back from their overseas trip, he told her about what had happened and why. She was saddened by this pronouncement because Tammy seemed to be such a good match for him. But she had faith that Dwayne and Tammy would be together in the end.

Dwayne stepped out of his room and smiled. He was attired in a blue gown and cap with a blue and gold tassel on his cap. Mrs. Wayne smiled and took a picture of him. Mrs. Wayne said, "We've got to go, PD and DP are already there." Dwayne nodded an affirmative and the two left the apartment to go to the auditorium.

As Dwayne drove his Impala, he thought about all of the stuff that's happened to him. His grandmother's near death, his engagement to Tammy and the breakup, Shadowdancer bringing up bad memories, Jaci Valentine sucking his life out during sex, his dad's irrational hatred, Shonuf beating him within a inch of his life, Malcolm/Black Prophet, Angela/Black Rose/White Rose, the fight between he and Ian, getting the Pimp Cane for the first time, killing Catman, Storm's constant torture of him and his friends, Malcolm/Black Prophet. All of that stuff made him a better person. He couldn't help but wonder how different his life would've been if he never got the pimp cane. He would probably be preparing to go to Stanford or some Ivy League school somewhere spending years learning to be a doctor. Now he was pulling in enough money that he didn't need to worry about money that much again. It was criminal just how much PD and DP were paying him and Tammy. Dwayne's thoughts turned to Megumi. They'd communicated through email for the past couple of months, but he wanted to see her soon. He still hadn't found a place yet in Tokyo, but there wouldn't be that much of a problem. As the car reached New Wales Auditorium, his last thought was that life was good.

Dwayne and Mrs. Wayne stepped out of the car. Dwayne saw his fellow seniors milling around waiting to get in line to march into the auditorium. Mrs. Wayne smiled at Dwayne and went inside to take her seat. Dwayne saw Creaig and Robert talking in the corner so he decided to walk over to them and talk to them.

Dwayne said, "Hey, guys."

Creaig answered, "Hello, Valedictorian. What's going on?"

"Nothing much, number 8."

Creaig smirked, "Don't you forget it either. I know Rob won't."

Robert grumbled, "Shut up, you were ahead of me by a couple of points."

Dwayne replied, "Actually, it's appropriate that you two would graduate side by side."

Creaig grinned, "True, beside everybody knows the Trifling Trio are the best students this place will ever have."

Rob answered, "Can't deny that."

Creaig and Rob both looked at Dwayne. Dwayne looked back at his friends and said, "What?"

Creaig answered, "You know how PD and DP signed us to that record contract?"

"Yeah, and I'm proud of you guys but what's the big idea?"

Rob grinned, "Well, they thought our music would really blow up in Japan. So that means we'll be going to Tokyo with you to work with Megumi."

Dwayne's eyes widened and he started jumping up and down in excitement. "That's tight. I have an idea. Let's find a place and live together."

Creaig answered, "Are you sure that Japan is ready for all of us in the same place?"

Dwayne replied, "Of course they are. But we need to do something stupid to signify this pact."

Rob smiled and answered, "I know what we have to do?"

All three men squatted down on the ground and started throwing up gang signs for no good reason. Tammy looked upon the scene and shook her head.

Tammy remarked, "It figures that I would see you guys throwing up gang signs."

Dwayne got up and answered, "Of course, good looking. We have to give this milestone in our lives the proper respect."

Tammy grinned and hugged all three in turn. Tammy was still hurt over their breakup, but she vowed to herself that she would get him back someday or find someone to replace him.

Tammy asked, "Do you have a good speech for our address?"

"Of course I do."

Jessica Griffin walked up to the group and answered, "Yes, but I have a feeling I'll have to be the one to bring a level of class to this proceeding since I'm salutorian."

Robert retorted, "Stop fighting it girl. In the past couple of months, you've been getting just as silly as we have."

Jessica answered, "That's true and I don't know why."

Rob answered, "You'll understand."

Monica Johnson looked at the group of friends and smiled. She walked over to them and grinned. Everyone was happy to see that Monica had become close to her normal self. Monica jumped up and down with glee.

Dwayne asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Monica said, "I'm going to study in Paris."

Jessica's eyes widened as she said, "Wow, I'm going to be there too. This is awesome."

Robert grumbled, "I hope France loosens you up some more."

Jessica punched him in the shoulder and replied, "Oh, it will. I hope Japan gives you some culture."

Dwayne smiled at this exchange. Jessica and Robert broke up during his time away, but he had a feeling that it wasn't over yet between them. Monica and Creaig had also broken up and he wished he 'd been there for Creaig because he took it really hard for a while. Dwayne said, "Oh, looks like it's time to begin." Everyone got into their appointed places and marched into the auditorium.

As Dwayne walked into the auditorium, he saw PD, DP, and his grandma smiling at him. He also saw his mom in the back along with Natasha. He even saw Wo'oof, Sekola, and Sara as well ODB, RZA, Method Man, and the GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Dwayne shook his head and wondering how Wo'oof and Sekola got tickets for this event. He was also surprised that celebrities like the
Wu-Tang Clan would come just to see him and Tammy graduate. All of the helping out with their careers must be good for something.

Dwayne ended up giving a nice speech that was fairly traditional, although he did break out some street slang during parts of it. What surprised everyone was seeing Jessica break out the street talk in her remarks. In fact, she was worse than Dwayne in that respect. Dwayne smiled to himself and thought that Jessica was finally going to succumb and switch over to the good side like Robert. Since Jessica was studying abroad, there was a fair chance that he, Rob, and Creaig would meet up with Jessica and Monica in the future. That was going to be something to see.

As the graduates got their diplomas and threw their hats in the air, Dwayne walked over to PD, DP, Sekola, Sara, Wo'oof, RZA, ODB, Method Man, GZA, and his grandmother.

Dwayne looked at Wo'oof and Sekola saw that they looked like human beings. Dwayne looked at Sara in puzzlement.

Sara answered, "First of all, it's nice to meet you. I can see that you're confused. PD and DP invited us to your graduation and Creeper made a holographic image that shows Sekola and Wo'oof to be normal human beings to anyone that looks at them."

Dwayne answered, "Wow, that's impressive."

PD smirked, "I know and Creeper's going to keep bragging about it."

Dwayne asked, "So why are RZA, ODB, Method Man, and the GZA here?

RZA responded, "You know we had to see one of our top dogs graduate. Besides Meth and the GZA wanted to see the man who was lucky enough to be with Tammy."

Dwayne's face fell, "Well, we're not together anymore. But you can still meet her. We're going on a cruise later."

ODB grinned, "No dun, you and your peeps are going with us on a real cruise. See, our graduation gift to you is for all of us to get on a big yacht with some honeys and get rowdy."

Dwayne thought that a party with the Wu-Tang Clan was definitely something that wasn't going to be missed.

Sekola said, "I remember that party we had with those guys in that dream place, is it going to be like that?"

RZA grinned, "It's going to be more than that, trust us."

Sekola grinned slightly, "Well, I've got my woman with me."

Sara said, "That's right, anybody that messes with my man gets dropped."

Wo'oof jumped into the conversation, "Who be the greatest pimp of all time?"

Everyone said in unison, "NOT YOU!"

Wo'oof grumbled, "You people can't appreciate greatness."

Dwayne said, "Wow, you actually said something intelligent there."

Wo'oof retorted, "I is smart when I need to be."

"That you are."

RZA said, "We're going to tell your friends about it. We'll be waiting outside, okay?"

Dwayne nodded his assent and everyone left but PD, DP, Dwayne, and his grandma.

Dwayne looked at his grandmother. "Grandma, I have a special surprise for you. PD and DP helped me on it." Dwayne pulled out an envelope and handed it to her.

Mrs. Wayne opened the envelope and her eyes widened in shock. She said, "A house deed in Ft. Lauderdale? I can't believe you did this." She hugged him, "This is the best present you could've given me."

Dwayne grinned, "I know you've always wanted to get out of New Wales, so PD and DP helped me find a nice house for you to stay in near a bunch of nice older people."

PD grinned, "Mrs. Wayne, we spared no expense for you. Hell, I want to live in the house you've got. You don't have to worry about paying anything, we've got it covered for as long as you live."

Tears of happiness spilled from her eyes as she hugged PD and DP. After a while, the trio left the auditorium and went off to enjoy life.

Author's Notes

*The cast from the Dwayne Wayne Chronicles all look at the readers of this story and say, "Thank you!"*

Well, this is the official end to The Dwayne Wayne Chronicles. I hope everyone who read this enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it and there's more to come. I plan on a sequel to this series called "To The Next Level" and it'll have Dwayne, Megumi, Tammy, Creaig, and Rob along with Malcolm, Storm, and Willie. PD, DP, and Angela won't be in the sequel as much as they were in this series, but they'll be making appearances here and there. Angela and Monica could make some appearances in the sequel as well. Oh and I'm thinking of having a series with Angela/Snakeeyes. Also toying with Jessica and Monica in a series. That popped in my head for some reason.

I have to give thanks to God or whatever deity for giving me the motivation to write this story. It helped keep me going when I was having problems with school and generally being lonely.

I also have to thank Ra'akone for being a good guy, a devoted fan and for letting me use his characters, the real Creaig Dunton for his support and being my ace, Gary Bernstein and Amanda Giancola for being my friends and the people on other fanfiction sites and lists who have read this story and liked it.

That's all I have so in parting I wish you all

Peace, love, and hair grease
