"Someone had to have snatched her on the way down."
"Shh…not too loud. Dragon might hear."
*.......Phuuu…..Phuuu...*
"I hope you're proud of what you just did."
"What we just did?"
*Phuuuuueeeeeem*
"You can all go home."
"Don't you want us to help search?"
"Whoever has her, has her. Their isn't much we can do. Don't feel guilty for what you did. Instead, rejoice in that Dragon doesn't have her."
"But if he doesn't have her, then who does?"
"Wha….wha…..where am I?"
*Phueeee…..Phueeee…..Phueeeeem*
"You're safe now, Ruby. I'm taking you home."
"Home? I don't even know what that word means anymore.
And what about the Kids?"
"They're safe. Apple has them."
"Thank you. I mean that with everything in me."
"........Don't say that too soon.
I'll get you home to where you belong. I'll get everyone back to where they belong."
"What would I do without you?
They truly do listen to you more than me?"
"I wouldn't count on it."
"Why? What happened while I was asleep? Tell me."
"I...….let's just focus on getting you home first. Sounds good?"
"Kyle, I trust you completely. Will you let me rest on your back for a while?"
"I can't guarantee you'll sta…....of course you can."
*Phuuuuuuuu...…..mmmmmmmmm.*
"Hopefully no more dangers present themselves, my Princess."
"You know, Kitty. You're not half as bad as I thought. Unlike some people I know."
"Give Kyle a chance. You may have stolen his heart, but he still will pick Ruby to defend, over you any day."
"Is that so?"
"I didn't mean it like that. I just meant, if it weren't for her, both good and bad, you still have to admit; she gave you Kyle. The rest of her may be bad, but he can't be? Right?"
"I don't know anymore. I thought he was a 'gift', now I found he was meant as a trick to deceive, but at the end of the day; you're right. Can't deny what the heart feels."
"And what… does.….the heart feel?"
"A lot of mixed emotions at the moment."
"Then you've passed."
"Can I rest on your back to process this all?"
"Uhhhhh."
"Please? I trust…. you won't let anything bad happen to me. Except maybe the occasional puddle."
"Of course, Kyle's Girlfriend...….Sorry.
Queen Natysh."
"Thank you."
"You know, you're different from what I expected."
"In a good way, or bad?"
"Good."
"Okay if I take a little Cat nap?"
"Funny."
"Take that as a yes."
"Wait, I…...…..watch the fur."
