But to their surprise, Arnold, Gerald, Helga, Atticus, Cherry, and Patch came out of the bus alive.
"I got it!" Arnold emerged first. "I got the tape!"
"Oh, that's wonderful, Arnold!" Grandpa smiled to his grandson, then looked curious and confused. "What tape?"
"The tape that'll prove this neighborhood is a national historic landmark and can never be destroyed," Arnold explained. "All I need is a VCR, and I can show you."
"We're way a head of you, Arnold." Bridget's and Teresa's voices said.
"Bridget? Teresa?" Atticus and Cherry said, confused, not seeing them anywhere.
"Up here."
They all looked up and saw the two females up on a roof top at the base of the Sheckvision screen with a VCR in their hands.
"Tape them." the TV reporter suggested.
Bridget and Teresa used ropes with hooks to get themselves down, amazing the crowd with their stunts and bravery.
"Who do they think they are anyway, Catwoman?" Helga scoffed.
Teresa gave the VCR to Arnold and he happily put the video tape in it. The others then saw the video of Sheck burning the document and the title and subject matter of the document was visible so the others could see why it was such a big deal.
'Sheck is busted now.' Patch thought to himself with a smile.
"Oh, my word... That's enough for me..." Mayor Dixie commented, then looked to the camera. "As your mayor, I reclaim this entire neighborhood as a national historic landmark never to be torn down."
This made everybody cheer in victory. Teresa and Cherry shared a comforting hug with each other for the victory.
Sheck had finally arrived and glared to his men. "It's after 7:00, what are you idiots waiting for? Knock it down!"
The workers had enough with Sheck and pointed angrily at the screen to show they weren't going to take him anymore.
'Oh, he's in trouble now.' Patch thought to himself with a smirk.
"It's that lying crook, Sheck!" Grandpa called. "Come on! Let's get the car!"
Sheck actually backed away and tried to make his escape in his car and tried to drive away, but the kids and puppy were in front of him. Grandma smirked evilly and showed that she had removed his tires. Policemen made Sheck leave his car and handcuffed him to take him straight to jail.
"He's going to be in jail for a long, long time." Atticus told his cousin.
"You got that right." Bridget agreed with a smirk.
"I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for that meddling football head, the kid with the weird stack of hair, that girl with the fangs, the boy with powers like a Greek god, that spotted mutt, and that brat with one eyebrow!" Sheck yelled out in defense.
"Tell it to the judge, you big donut hole!" Helga scoffed, slamming the prison van doors shut on him.
"Yeah, tell it to your cellmate in Folsom!" a man with graying brown hair added, standing next to Helga.
"I feel like we're missing someone." Patch said.
"Yeah, but who?" Cherry rubbed the back of her neck.
Nick was trying to run away, once Atticus and Patch saw him, they were about to go and pummel him, but the man known as Big Bob had other plans for him and hit him hard in the face.
"That'll do," Atticus and Patch said in unison. "Jinx!"
Bridget laughed a little at their little game.
"Willikers, what a day!" Stinky exclaimed. "Fistfights, car chases and political intrigue."
"And don't forget about the overpass blowin' up!" Sid added.
"And it's only 7.30 in the morning!" Harold replied, but looked instantly sleepy as he sat down on something. "I wanna go back to bed. I'm exhausted."
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Grandpa yelled out in fear.
"Why do I have a feeling something is about to be destroyed?" Patch asked.
The building with the Sheckvision screen blew up. The sound of glass shattering is heard as the screen fell down, but luckily, no one was hurt. The image of Sheck was now staticky and was eventually gone forever with the breakdown of the screen.
"What do ya know," Grandpa remarked. "I thought we set the explosion down the middle of the street," he then looked to the borders and then ran away. "You didn't see nuthin', scatter!"
"Do we even want to know?" Patch asked.
"Probably not..." Cherry shrugged.
Murray and Mona reunited with each other and even made up, becoming a couple again.
"I'm really sorry about ignoring you, Cherry," Teresa said to her sister. "My life's just been crazy after I joined the agency, that's why I couldn't visit you, Dad, or your mom lately."
"Thanks for telling me, Terry, and I won't tell them either." Cherry replied with a small smile.
"Thanks, Sis." Teresa smiled.
Cherry smiled, hugging her sister, but still had a tear in her eye because of how rare it was she got to see her sister these days.
"I live in Washington," Teresa whispered. "You should come over and see the Smithsonian."
Cherry grinned at the invitation and happily accepted. But of course, she wouldn't go anywhere without her best friend. "Terry,... Could I invite someone along?"
"Of course..." Teresa agreed. "I always wanted to meet your friends."
"Oh, you're the best..." Cherry still hugged her sister.
"I know and you can bring along as many friends as you want." Teresa smiled.
Cherry smiled to her sister.
"Wow, I've never seen Cherry that affectionate before..." Patch noticed.
"Me neither, I guess this is a rare occasion." Atticus smiled.
Patch smiled back.
"Come on, Tree, it's time to go..." Bridget told her partner.
"Right..." Teresa agreed, she then handed a paper to Cherry before going off. "I'll see you again soon, little one..."
Cherry frowned deeply that Teresa was leaving, but looked to the paper, it was a picture of Teresa at work and on the back, there was a note and a phone number with the year on it. 'Don't forget, you are always in my heart.'
"Hey, Cherry, you okay?" Atticus asked.
"I'll be fine..." Cherry sighed a little, putting the picture under her shirt for now. "I just miss her so much."
"I'm sure you'll see her again someday." Atticus assured her.
"Yeah." Patch smiled.
"I hope so..." Cherry sighed a little. She then flinched, took out her iPhone and saw that she had a new friend request from Facebook. She then looked to Bridget and Teresa as they left and smiled.
Teresa put her own phone down and waved to her sister with a smile and left with Bridget.
"Well, looks like you got two new friend requests," Atticus smiled. "And they're Teresa and Bridget."
Cherry moved her finger and accepted them, now being friends with Teresa and Bridget.
"We saved our neighborhood
They could not tear it down
They could not turn our smile
Into a frown~" Eugene sang.
"Show's over, Eugene." Gerald glanced to him.
"Yeah, no singing, please." Atticus said.
"I sure wish your parents could have been here to see this, Arnold." Patch said.
"Me too..." Arnold said softly and nearly sad, but he still smiled.
Arnold's grandparents then came to him and gave him a hug. Patch was sad for him and then suddenly sensed something and went inside the Sunset Arms building, going up to the attic.
