END FLASHBACK; FADE INTO Moog asleep on a street-bench. Two girlyfeet walk up; one nudges him in the side. Moog smiles, knowing who it is without even opening his eyes

MOOGLE
Hi.

GEORGIA
You say that like you know it's me.

He opens his eyes and puts a hand over them, shielding them from the sun. He grins wider

MOOGLE
It is you.

Georgia smiles at him and pulls him onto his feet, then hugs him. Moog kisses her forehead and they walk off, arms slung over each other's shoulders.

CUT TO: Moog and Georgia in their car. Georgia is driving down the street towards Jess's house

MOOGLE
Maybe it's good that there's a lot of

people here.

GEORGIA
Stick with me, pal, she's putty in my hands.

MOOGLE
Just watch your driving.

CUT TO: Their car pulling up and parking in the field near Jess's house, where a million other cars already sit. Legs and Crunk walk over to them; Moog gets up and shakes Legs' hand. Crunk hugs him, regardless of whether that was his intent or not.

CRUNK
Moogle Brofloski! Free at last!

MOOGLE
Thank God almighty.
(grins)
Meet Georgia.

Georgia gets out of the car and shakes hands. We CUT TO Jess and Tim, sitting on the porch swing together. Georgia and Moog walk over, hand in hand.

MOOGLE
You know Georgia.

JESS
Hi Georgia.

Both of them sound nervous; Tim gets up

TIM
Come on, Miss, come with me. We'll meet

the rest of the crazies.

Moog hugs him as he passes; Tim heads inside the house and Georgia follows, leaving Moog and Jess alone. Moog takes a deep breath and sits down next to Jess. They sit awkwardly for a few minutes, before Moog finally speaks, quietly

MOOGLE
Mom, that reporter –

JESS
Nope.

(puts her hand on his to stop him)
Truth hurts, kiddo. That's all. I'm sure I

had it coming.

MOOGLE

mom, i –

JESS
Baby, there are some things for which…
I don't expect to be forgiven. Not by my

children. Not even by Eru. There are some

things for which it'd be ludicrous to say

I'm sorry. It'd be so… so pale.

MOOGLE
I guess I owe you an apology –

JESS
No, no, no you don't. Don't say it. I've been

thinking about what I would say to you, should

we ever speak again.

(Moog chuckles quietly)

I went through all the of mean things I could think

of to make you feel guilty. You know how I am. I take

a problem and chew on it until all the flavour's gone,

and then I stick it in my hair.

And then it dawned on me.

All those years that I wished, that I begged on my

hands and knees, for someone to make me more. Give

me more. Make me better, make me stronger. Make me

saner. Make all my dreams come true. I finally got an

answer.

MOOGLE
(looks at her)
What?

JESS
(cups his chin)
You.

(smiles at him)
Right there in one person, all I'd ever wanted to be

or do. And there you are. You came right through me

and I never even realized. I hate it when it's right in

front of your face and you miss it, don't you?

Moog nods wordlessly and hugs her. They pull away and Jess looks at him

JESS
Now you goddamn marry that girl.

MOOGLE
I will.

JESS
I know I've got the "worst mother in the world" prize

sewed up and in the bag, but I'd still like to be there.

MOOGLE
Maybe we could have it here.

JESS
No. That'd just be …

convenient. I could walk to it.

MOOGLE
(laughs)
You could.

JESS
Now there's just one more thing I want to ask you. Then

I want you to go dance 'till your socks melt.

MOOGLE
Okay.

JESS
But I want you to be totally honest.

MOOGLE
Are you sure?

JESS
Yes.

MOOGLE
Okay.

JESS

(takes a deep breath, looks at him seriously)
Do I look like I've gained weight?

A beat.

MOOGLE

… no, actually, I think you may be too thin.

JESS

God love you, darlin'.

(stands up)
Okay, now you can go have some fun.

MOOGLE
(gets to his feet)
Okay.

They hug, again.

CUT TO: Later that evening; they've got a big almost parade-like group wandering around the yard, waving flags, sparklers, scarves, whatever they can find. The Undahpants dance around at the head of the parade with Jess, and lead her over to a table in the middle of the field, with a cake on it. Sabrina uses sparklers to light all the candles on it, setting it almost completely aflame. Then Sangy hands Jess a fire extinguisher and grins.

MISTY
Make a wish, pal!

Jess snickers and douses the cake with the extinguisher, laughing. The crowd cheers.
