For Plymouth Argyle, their 2015-16 Sky League Two campaign started and ended against AFC Wimbledon - but the fairy tale belonged to the Dons, as they defeated the Pilgrims to triumph in the division's Play-off final at Wembley.
On the opening day of the season Argyle triumphed 2-0 at the Kingsmeadow Stadium, with Gregg Wylde and Graham Carey finding the target.
However, beneath the Wembley arch - in what was the final domestic fixture of the current campaign - second half goals from Lyle Taylor and former Torquay United striker Adebayo Akinfenwa - who struck from the penalty spot in his final game for the club - ensured that AFC Wimbledon achieved a mirror image of that result.
It also means that the Dons, who were founded 14 years ago in response to the FA sanctioning the relocation of the original Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes, secured their passage to the third tier of English football for the first time in their short history.
In addition to this, it will also mean that they will face the Milton Keynes Dons, the club that were born out of the FA's decision to remove the 1988 FA Cup winners from their south London origins, in the league next season.
If some things in life are meant to be perhaps this is one of them.
However, for the Pilgrims and Derek Adams it is now back to the drawing board as they will now have to make plans for Argyle's 2016-17 campaign in League Two.
Instead of Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic as opponents for Argyle, it will be Portsmouth and Exeter City again amongst others; they will also be facing Blackpool for the first time since former manager Ian Holloway returned to Home Park with the Tangerines in March 2010.
