Audrey and Jenni had just returned from an early shopping trip on earth and walked into Dyeland Castle. Jenni had finally consented to buying her supplies for the upcoming school year. It wasn't that she hated college. It was just that between working on the buildings in Dyeland and the work being done in her earthly home and workplace the summer had flown by leaving a mess of unfinished work.

"Hey, here's double trouble!" Andrew said as he grabbed a few bags from the two girls.

"Ha ha. Thanks for your help. Just leave them by the steps please. We have to sort through what stays here and what goes to earth." Audrey answered.

Andrew gently laid the bags down and then turned towards the two. "Adam stopped by and the two of us were thinking of having a picnic around that little cabin on the hill in the Glen of Goodness. Would you like to join us?

I was going to show him around Dyeland since he's never really seen all of it."

"I believe that just might cure my back-to-school blahs." Jenni answered excitedly.

"Yeah, sounds great. So where is Adam?"

"Right here!" The two women turned around to see a second angel of death coming from the kitchen, carrying two picnic baskets, a camera, and wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He was met by amused if not mystified gazes. "Well, I figured as a tourist I just might want to look the part!" Laughing the group exited the castle and began their trek.


The three Dyeland regulars showed Adam the theater, museum, and a few other select locations before settling down to a quiet meal in the Glen.

"Wow, this is so impressive. Andrew, if I were you, I'd feel really blessed to have a place like this. I mean you have a reserved bar stool *and* your own magical kingdom." Adam exclaimed.

"Well, it's not actually mine. But, yes, it is wonderful."

"Adam, you do know you're always welcome here? In fact... don't ask me why but I see your own island in the very near future." Jenni smiled knowingly.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh... nothing. Just seems to me I heard a little something about people kinda hoped to have you visit more often. Seemed to think your own hang out might just solve the problem... In fact... I wouldn't be all shook up to learn a certain island had all ready appeared, off the coast of East Dyeland. I think I may have heard something about talking turkeys taking up residence there, too..." Jenni looked on as Adam began to look more and more excited.

"So how do you feel about the idea? I mean don't feel obligated..." Audrey asked.

"How do you think I feel!? This is amazing! Ever since I learned about Andrew's "Sign of the Dove" I'd hoped for my own place to hang out when I have some free time! Thank you!"

After a few more minutes the group left and showed Adam the new island which had been designed in his honor. Andrew, Audrey, and Jenni looked on excitedly as he investigated the whole island. Finally, he came back.

"So why did you do this? I mean, I can't say I've been very visible. I never thought people particularly had me in mind when they did TBAA fan things." Adam asked.

"Well, your character was trully the first who taught us the angel of death wasn't evil or ugly. I mean you came with a sense of humor. We can relate to you. You've had some tough assignments, assignments you'd have rather not done. But you always came through, cause you knew it was important and right." Audrey explained.

"I've known you for years, Adam. You're steadfast, loyal, and true. You deserve this." Andrew continued.

"I mean you saved a turkey's life in the face of ridicule from Tess! Now the person who does that... that's someone you never forget!" Jenni concluded.

"Wow, I mean even after all that election scandal? Still you... do this?" Adam asked, stunned still.

"Sure, hey, we needed material for JABB! With out that Jenni might have just sent out an ode to her latest crush!" Audrey answered.

"Hey!" Jenni exclaimed but smiled.

"Well, I'm very honored. Thank you so much." Adam hugged each of the three gathered around him and then glanced around his island again.



Hours passed and the group had now settled on the beach of Adam's island (which has yet to be named). Adam and Jenni were each constructing a house of sand while Andrew and Audrey were preparing the boat to return to the mainland. When they were ready to leave, Adam and Jenni hopped into the boat.

"So, Adam, what do you want to do until it's time for you to go?" Andrew asked.

"I'd really like to explore more of Dyeland and thank everyone for helping to design the island." Adam answered.

"Sounds great!" Jenni replied.

So the group set off and Adam met with several JABB members. It was trully a happy ending for one angel of death.
