A Night To Remember

The Final Chapter

Baby Lindsay- As the years passed, baby Lindsay grew up to be a beautiful young woman with flowing brown hair and bright blue eyes that changed with the weather. She was tall and skinny, with milky white skin and a smile that brighten up a cloudy sky. From the start she was wise beyond her years, her mother teaching her foreign languages and reading, as well as self defense and self respect. Her father taught her to play every instrument the two could get their hands on. For hours they would sit in the basement and play the guitar and drums, or the keyboard and piano, as bright eyed and proud Meg sat in the far corner and watched with joy.
    As the years passed she grew up and joined the band Savage Garden which, after all these years, was still doing well. After a while, Darren and Daniel retired, and Lindsay took over and hired her own band members, keeping the bands name and rep for music, using her inheritance from her father to hit number one on the charts and became the most talked about girl in all of the world.
    From time to time Meg would talk about her best friend Lindsay. But more and more Meg noticed the similarities between Lindsay and Lindsay. The same hair color, the same laugh, the same smile, and the intelligence level was amazing. Though this Lindsay possessed more of Daniel's musical ability and her mother's sense of wacky humor, style, and taste, she was almost a mirror image of the Lindsay before. Naturally Lindsay married a wonderful man by the name of Ben and the two lived happily, having two children and living successful and unforgettable lives.

Meg- After the birth of her first daughter Meg decided to take some time off and spend it with her family. While she was off she dreamed up some plans which were later set into action. She built a homeless shelter dedicated to the victims of weather disasters, which she named "The Light Of Lindsay" after her best friend whom had inspired it. When she went back to work, Meg was named the United States top professional meteorologist. All the fame never went to Meg's head though. She spent every spare moment over seas, helping treat victims of hurricanes and clean out the mess so everyone could start over.
    With everyone she shared her story of terror, and her loss of someone she loved. Today there is a plaque in Blainsville dedicated to her. After a year or so, Meg had another child, which she named Dylan, so he would have the initials of his father. Dylan followed Meg into the career of meteorology, and later took over her place as a happy Meg retired. He was also well known and lived up to his mother's name, his inventions and improvements in the weather industry still used and acknowledged today.

Daniel- As stated before Daniel went back to work and he and Darren produced five more successful albums before they retired and Lindsay took over. A lot of the money made by touring and the selling of albums was sent to shelters for the homeless and to the rescue teams who stood by in case of a natural disaster. When he retired, he was beyond happy, and lived at home and spent most of his time with the wife he loved dearly, Meg.
    He taught Dylan to play guitar, but Dylan took more after his mother, with his straight black hair and almond eyes. Not that that was bad, but he just lacked the patience for music that his sister held so beautifully. Daniel supported his daughter well in her achievements, as he did his wife and son. He attended every judo class Lindsay took, and went to every weather seminar Dylan was interested in. When he was lonely for Meg when she was overseas, often he'd fly over there to help and be with her. He was quite the loving and dedicated husband, everyone says.

Darren- After about five years Darren remarried. He married a beautiful woman who had lost her husband to a motorcycle accident. The two were quite happy together, and had two children, which possessed Darren's beautiful singing voice and his pale blue eyes and natural blond hair. They went on to professional careers, one as a music producer, the other as Lindsay's back up singer. All say Darren was a happy man, happy with his children, happy with his new wife, happy with his new life.
    Of course he moved out of Meg and Dan's house but he only moved a mile down the road, he couldn't bare to leave his two best friends behind.
Sometimes there were days when he'd call them up in need of someone to talk to, because he would remember and grieve over Lindsay. But he felt it was time to move on, felt it was time to complete his life by becoming a father. He was so proud of his children and their dreams, proud of Lindsay whom he loved like his own daughter.
    He was now more open, and more forgiving. He took everything to heart like always, and never pitied himself. He still laughed and made jokes, and was his odd self again, even though he was letting a big piece of him go so he could heal. Anyone you talk to who knew him will say his recovery was miraculous, and that he was a strong and smart man., which is how he is remember.

Lindsay, how she died- A later autopsy showed that Lindsay had been thrown through the windshield of the jeep that night, and sailed through the air twenty feet to where she landed, breaking her arm and leg. Darren was thrown through the drivers window, and only landed about five feet from where the jeep landed. He managed to pull himself over to Lindsay where he propped himself up against a tree and then cuddled Lindsay to keep her warm until she died. Excess blood in the brain revealed Lindsay had serious hemorrhaging in the brain and was only conscious for about an hour. She died later on in the night.
