Thank you so much! You don’t know how long it’s been since I posted up this chapter. Well, better get to work on the nineteenth and final chapter of this story…[spoil]Wallace and Evelyn have a big moment ahead of them.[/spoil]
oh yeah, i can’t wait! I remember when i watched Wall-E the first time, at the end, I was miserably disappointed at first. I was like “THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!” just begging for someway that the movie would end blissfully!
And here it is… the grand finale of this fanfic that began back in fall of 2009! I actually edited it a few days ago, but decided to post it up this morning because I wanted to change the signature to promote the final chapter, but Photobucket is not working properly on my laptop, so I’m using a different computer.
So without any further delays, here’s the fantastic (and sweet) ending to Star Vacation!
Chapter Nineteen: A Fresh Start
All the cheering and joy over the plant ceased in an instant. Evelyn stood on that platform in horror as she saw what had happened to Wallace. The garbage collector tumbled out from under the machine, lifeless and weak. His glasses were damaged, his clothes torn, blood stains streaming from his head, down onto his body. Evelyn knelt down beside him, gazing upon his cuts and gashes. He was breathing heavily, his pulse was beating irregularly, and dried tears mingled with blood had stained his face and clothes. Wallace trembled as he struggled to take hold of Evelyn’s arm.
“I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry,” Evelyn tenderly cradled Wallace in her arms, “The Co-pilot has been defeated. We’ll be home soon.”
The passengers bowed their heads in respect to Wallace. Mo lowered his Swiffer™ Wet Jet, Bissell set down his vacuum, Partlet buried her face, Vince set down his painting tools, Shiatsu took a bow of respect, Dee lowered her medical pack, Leticia set down her flashlight, and Sombrilla set down her umbrella, mourning Wallace.
“Thank you for rescuing us from the I.C.U.,” began Reject Force Seven, “Thank you for saving the Postulate.”
The fake sky then displayed a giant star map, the coordinates set for the Postulate’s landing pad in Manhattan on Earth; calculating speed, course, and arrival time. The Postulate computer began the countdown.
“I can’t watch,” sobbed Mary-Beth, holding two infants in her arms.
The Postulate initiated a hyperdrive sequence. Before anyone knew it, the luxury cruise-liner engaged in warp speed.
“WHOA!!!” the passenger screamed. They all fell to the floor, along with the crewmembers. And in the bridge, McCrea grew exceedingly excited, holding on to the steering wheel.
“I see many bright colors!!!” exclaimed McCrea, with a smile on his face, “Yeah!!!”
However, back on the lido deck, Evelyn could care less about the force of the hyperdrive, for the only thing she cared about now was Wallace being safe in her arms.
Back on Earth, Fido stood on a pile of trash near a freeway ruin, twitching his antennae, waiting for something to happen. All of a sudden, the earth began to shake; red lights glowing all over the terrain. A hole seemed to blow through the toxic blanket obscuring the sky.
The Postulate descended down into its landing platform; towers of rubbish collapsing in its wake. The starliner’s entry seemed to have cleared a bit of the poisonous atmosphere, revealing a pale, yet blue sky. Exit ramps activated once the ship had settled, and the doors of the Postulate rapidly flew open.
Captain McCrea took a step outside, still holding the potted celery. The passengers followed right behind him. A service door also opened for crewmembers to exit. Evelyn flew straight though this door, carrying Wallace all the way to his motor home; the Rejects crying out to her.
“Evelyn!” they cried, “Wait for us!”
Mo led the group across the ramp and down the escalator. However, they were still slow as they ran across the dry bay.
Evelyn landed on the freeway ramp where Wallace’s truck was perched. She quickly pulled the lever on the side to open the back door. Once inside, she quickly lay him down on his mattress, and then she ran to the shelves to scavenge for first aid supplies. After finding several kits on one rack, she opened up each one, taking out antiseptics and treatment creams as fast as possible. Evelyn grew desperate, so she took out a bottle of iced tea from her backpack and drank from it to refresh herself and calm her nerves.
“You’re gonna make it Wallace,” Evelyn told herself, “You’re gonna make it.”
Evelyn applied every astringent, antiseptic, and cream to Wallace’s wounds, but at the same time, she was careful not to rush. After that, she looked for bandages, which she quickly unwrapped, and cautiously placed on various spots on the garbage collector’s body. Evelyn also pulled out some cloth, and wrapped it around Wallace’s deepest gashes. She also made splints for his limbs, just in case any were broken. Fortunately, none were.
“I’ve gotta relax,” Evelyn told herself again.
Evelyn double-checked Wallace, making sure she had treated every single one of his injuries, and cleaning leftover blood. She then raised her blaster and blew a hole in the ceiling. In the distance, the Rejects saw this.
“Please wake up,” Evelyn grew nervous.
Evelyn sat down beside Wallace, wrapping a small lock of his hair around her finger; until she saw his eyes open slowly at the sight of the sunlight. Wallace felt refreshed. He stood up, looking around his truck. Evelyn stood with her hands folded behind her back, and she displayed a smile on her face, waiting for Wallace to greet her.
“Hi there Wallace,” Evelyn began with a friendly tone. She then extended one of her hands for him to hold. However, Wallace just stood there; his eyes staring blankly at the scout girl. He turned around, quietly, and began to put some of his stuff into a garbage bag.
“Wallace,” Evelyn started, holding up a lava lamp and a Rubik’s cube, “You remember me, don’t you? It’s me, Evelyn. Here, look at these. These are some of your favorite things, remember?”
Wallace did not respond to anything Evelyn said, and he walked silently out of his truck. He then began to bag some garbage. It seemed as if he had no idea who Evelyn was.
“Has Wallace lost his memory?” Evelyn began to fret, “Why won’t he speak to me?”
Evelyn walked outside the truck, and she put a hand on Wallace’s shoulder, turning him towards her.
“Don’t you remember me?” Evelyn asked, “Wallace? WALLACE!!! What’s happened to you?!”
Evelyn reached her hand out to push a button on Wallace’s Walkman™, but only static noise played.
“I guess he really is gone,” Evelyn told herself as she started to cry, “I—I guess, this is good-bye.”
Evelyn felt terrible and heartbroken; the last thing she wanted to do was sob. She stood there for a moment, until she grasped Wallace’s hand, and gave him a hug.
“Good bye Wallace,” Evelyn whispered to the garbage collector. She gave him a parting kiss on his cheek; trying to hold back her tears.
At that moment, Fido jumped onto the DVD player and pressed its “play” button. Camp Rock then started to play on the television. Evelyn picked up a grime-covered microphone toy, and began to sing “This Is Me”, the Camp Rock song that Wallace loved.
“I’ve always been the kind of girl, that hid my face…” Evelyn began to sing, “…This is real, this is me, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be now, gonna let the light, shine on me…”
Evelyn continued to sing up to when the song’s guitar solo played on the TV. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Wallace picked up a second microphone toy and burst out into song.
“You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing, I need to find you, I gotta find you,” Wallace sung his heart out, “You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me I need to find you, I gotta find you!”
Wallace! Evelyn whispered to herself. She was suddenly overcome by a mix of joy and relief, knowing that Wallace remembered who she was. As they lovingly stared into each other’s eyes, the duo sang the rest of the song together, with the corresponding scene from Camp Rock simultaneously playing on the television inside the truck. And just like Shane and Mitchie, Wallace and Evelyn finished the number with their hands interlaced together; their fingers woven by the affection they had developed for each other.
“Wallace,” Evelyn smiled at him, “Welcome back.”
“Thank you, my love;” Wallace answered, blushing, “I’m just glad we’re finally holding hands.”
Evelyn joyfully threw her arms around Wallace and embraced him tightly; their foreheads and noses pushed against each other, forming a slight heart shape. At that moment, the Rejects arrived, all cheering, “Wallace! Wallace! Wallace!”.
“Um, guys, I think we’d better leave right now,” Mo told them.
“Aw, come on!” Partlet moaned, “We’ve brought our cameras!”
“We came all this way just to stay out of Wallace’s sight?!” Shiatsu questioned.
“This ain’t fun!” Vince complained.
“I need to go to the bathroom,” Bissell couldn’t hold it any longer.
“For now, use that pile of rubbish,” suggested Mo, “The rest of you, leave! I think Wallace and Evelyn want some time to themselves.”
Bissell, Dee, Shiatsu, Leticia, Partlet, and Vince huddled over to one corner. Sombrilla stood there with her cell-phone camera, wanting to take a picture of Wallace and Evelyn’s tender moment.
“That means you too, lido deck lady!” Mo ordered.
Sombrilla hid in the corner with the rest of the Rejects. “Where’s Bissell?” she asked.
“I’m back,” Bissell told the group, “What a relief. Sorry if I forgot to go on the Postulate before we left.”
Later that day, McCrea helped a group of toddlers plant the celery in the ground, right outside the Postulate. The babies began to pour water on the delicate vegetable
“This is called ‘farming’,” explained McCrea, “You’ll be able to grow all sort of plants—vegetable plants, pizza plants! Ah, this is going to be great!”
Over at the broken freeway overpass, Mo and the Rejects gathered around Wallace’s truck, playing with some toys, including balls and jax, jumpropes, jack-in-the-boxes, and stuffed dolls. Inside the truck, Evelyn and Wallace sat comfortably on a bean bag chair, embracing and holding hands.
“We’re finally together,” sighed Wallace, resting his head on Evelyn’s shoulder, “Maybe you can be my dance partner at tonight’s ShoppyMart Welcome Back celebration dance.”
“I would certainly love too, my dear Wallace,” Evelyn answered with a sweet tone to her voice, “Or as I like to call you now, my dear ‘Wall-E’.”
“Cause my name starts with ‘Wall’ and ends with ‘E’?” Wallace asked, wide-eyed, “Absolutely. May I address you as ‘Eve’, my lady?”
“You are such a fine gentleman,” Evelyn smiled, “I love being called ‘Eve’.”
Evelyn then gave Wallace a slight tap on the nose, and he giggled. The pair then closed their eyes again, and shared another kiss. And as they turned their attention to look out into the distance, they saw a field sprouting with vibrant, green plants.
And now it seemed, after all that everyone had been through, the Postulate people, along with the crewmembers, were off to a fresh start; they would renew the city, clear it up, and everything would be new. Finally, after seven-hundred years of silence, a new period of human history would begin, and it was all thanks to a stowaway garbage collector; if it wasn’t for his innocence, curiosity, and even all the mishaps he had aboard the Postulate, the celery would have never been discovered, Evelyn would have never found it, and if she did, the bad guys would have destroyed it, and there would be no hope of returning for the passengers. So in the end, there are only three words humanity has to say for their return to Earth made possible:
“Thank you, Wallace.”
And now it’s time for the end credits!
Wallace and Evelyn’s song
I recalled that you would have two more chapters, but one makes the story even better! Also, nice use of finally introducing their nick names into the picture with Wall-E and EVE! And the ending was so sweet too, even if it wasn’t the robot version!
Thank you for two years of awesomeness!
Thanks for reading! I’m so glad you loved the ending!
And yes, I actually was going to originally have this story be 20 chapters long, but the nineteenth chapter was so short, I decided to combine it with the 20th to make the chapter longer and more detailed. Plus, it provided me with a way to make the closure come much quicker.
Again, I’m happy that you enjoyed it. I was planning a spin-off series, but I’ll do that with drawings on dA instead. (my art thread has been ignored anyway…) Also, the part where I introduced their nicknames had to be one of my fave parts too; I came up with it at the last minute. 
I got a spin-off for you: How about Wallace and Evelyn’s time at the Welcome Back celebration, maybe, you know, they ‘push the beds together’? Or something romantic that is!
Sorry it took me this long to reply!
somethingguy912: Well, I was planning a whole spin-off series which would begin with John and Mary-Beth getting married and adopting three kids. There probably would be a Welcome Back celebration as well a little while after, and a few other plot elements, such as:
-
The story focuses primarily on Partlet (main character), Dee, Leticia, and Evelyn being friends and going shopping on occasion.
-
The kids start a new school named ShoppyMart Academy.
-
Auto turns Penelope into a human by downloading her operating system into a DNA sample in a Nursery lab.
-
Wallace gets adopted by John and Mary-Beth to be a big brother to their little babies.
-
As a subplot, Wallace and Bissell form a musical club at the school with a robot teacher named HARMON•E (new characters would be introduced).
-
Evelyn meets her mom and sisters.
-
Partlet and Dee release a fashion line.
That’s what I’ve got right now. I might do some drawings of it in the future.
I can’t believe I hadn’t found this before… thanks for linking me to it, JustSoWall-eCrazy!
I read the whole thing in an hour and a half and laughed and cried the whole way through! I am amazed at how well you adapted them to humans. I’ve thought up a human WALL-E story in my head, and I had planned for the robots to be humanoids since I couldn’t easily figure out how some of it would happen (like WALL-E and EVE’s dance, for example), but you did an incredible job at coming up with creative ways to make it all work! I laughed at so many parts I can’t recount them all! Your version of WALL-E here will always be in my head every time I watch the movie. And I loved all of the in-jokes! The Star Wars ones were great, and the Nemo reference had me guffawing (but then I kind of felt bad when he cried). And the transition of these adorable robots to equally adorable humans (who are as cute in the story as they are in your drawings) was astounding! Wallace had so many awesome lines! So bottom line, I absolutely loved it! I think this would make an excellent theatrical production (If my Little Theater held auditions for it, I’d play Penelope!). And you know what? If I have This Is Me stuck in my head for the rest of my life, I’d be just fine with that… because I’ll forever think of WALL-E and EVE 
Two thumbs up!
Thanks for reading the story! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I had a lot of fun writing this story. The Star Wars and Finding Nemo references helped to add a bit of humor substance to the story (I’ve actually been thinking of writing a humanized Finding Nemo story, but unsure of it yet), and I’m glad that Camp Rock will make you remember WALL•E all the time.
And as for Penelope, she is a cool character, even though she’s just a hologram talking to the Captain. I couldn’t humanize her entirely because she is the ship’s computer, so I settled for a hologram form that could talk and at least have a human-like form.
Again, I’m glad you loved it. If you want to read more great fanfictions around here, I suggest Psyche OS X by little_chef_eva09 (seriously, she’s got some pretty neat WALL•E and Ratatouille stuff) and AUTO-Biography by AUTOA113 (who doesn’t really come on here anymore). The former is not finished yet, but it’s a pretty good drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.
OMG!!! This is an amazing story! The plot, the dialogue, the references, the humor, the CHARACTERS and their PERSONALITIES!!! I LOVED IT ALL!!! 
I especially loved how you used Camp Rock. I loved that movie, and the song This Is Me! It’s so amazing. Now whenever I hear that song or watch Camp Rock (which I will do more often, now), I will think of your amazing book and how awesome it was! I especially loved these parts in your book:
- Wallace saying, “Yo, Sputnik! You’re in my way!”
- Captain: Where’s the PIZZA!?
- Evelyn: …and you just happen to be one of those people that cause delays.
Wallace: You mean you don’t…like me!?
Evelyn: No! It’s not like that!
(That Finding Nemo reference, tho!
and finally… - When Wallace and Evelyn bring out their nicknames for each other, which just happen to be Wall-E and Eve! <3
I love this book so much! And this time, I actually know what happens at the end and it’s happy for me! Love it! Great job!
I’m very glad you liked it! When I saw that scene in Camp Rock, when Mitchie and Shane hold hands as they finish the song, I thought it would be great if my version of WALL-E liked it too. Another song I think would be good for him and EVE is Troy and Gabriella’s song from the original High School Musical (that one should probably play when they’re flying outside in space). The Finding Nemo bit I also thought it was a fun little addition, and what makes it funnier is that both Finding Nemo and WALL-E were written and directed by the same person, Andrew Stanton.
Again, I’m so happy you love it. I’ve been wanting to draw more scene from this story (especially the garbage masher scene). If you liked this one, you’ll most certainly love my Monsters parodies as well (some mentions of WALL-E can be found in the Energy Harvesters!! story). Thank you very much for reading!
I’ve actually got round to re-reading half of this and have now completed reading the rest of it, and I have to say it was a beautiful ending! I personally would love to see a spin-off fanfic from those points you suggested You’re a wonderful writer, JustSoWall-eCrazy!
Sorry it took so long to reply back!
Glad you enjoyed my story! I have written a tie-in to this story called “Define: Pizza”, and an adventure in ShoppyMart Academy called “Double Dates”. They’re here on PP if you’d like to read.
Also, be sure to check out Michael and James: Energy Harvesters!! and my newest one, Omicron Kappa RULEZ!, which is currently ongoing, if you’d like to keep seeing fanfiction from me.
