"Are you really leaving?
For good this time?
Cause last tme you said that….."
"Yes, Mama. I'm really leaving. Not for good, but...could do me some well."
"Hey, Lil Sis.
I uhhh...…..I...…..I want to say I am sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry for."
"Yes there is.
We weren't there for you when....I mean…..'I' wasn't there for you, but what can we say.
We thought we knew how to raise Ruby, and not you, but obviously we are wrong cause you're here, and we're not."
"No."
"What?"
"We are all here, and this second chance the good Lord gave you is for a reason. I just know it.
Ruby, for all that you've done and for all that you will do. I…."
"Oh, no, no. It's okay, Mom. Really.
I don't need another dress.
I have plenty, remember?"
"This is not a dress, but a flower. A Tulip no less.
I know how much you so love them."
"Is it special?"
"Longest flower I have held onto. The others have withered, but this baby keeps going tall and strong...….Just like you."
"But there is nothing left for me to fight.
I have defeated them all."
"Not all of them."
"Two lips, eh?
You sure there is nothing special about this flower?"
"Only if you want it to be."
".........Don't look at me, I have never motivated you. In fact, far from it."
".....I know."
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Who could that be?
No one knows we are here, right?"
"Right?
You two stay hidden."
"Should I make another bowl of Soup?
If so, then invite them in."
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Henry, pass me that lampstand."
"Here you go."
*Knock. Knock*
"Aaaaaaaghhhh!!!"
"Don't hit me. Don't hit me. Don't..."
*Phuuuuuuuuuuueeeeewwwwww*
"My lampstand.
You burned it to smitherings."
"Sorry."
"Elwin?"
"What are you doing with my Dragon, and how did you find me?"
"Apparently you weren't as thorough as you thought when you took the others."
"Look, if you think I am going to tell you where the rest are, then you can forget it."
"No need. I don't need to know the location of there Nest; nor what you did with the others. I am completely content with this one."
"Did you come to thank me or something?"
"RUBY?
WHO IS IT?
IF IT'S FRIEND, LET THEM IN.
IF IT'S FOE THEN BACK UP SLOW."
"Who is that? Who's in there with you?"
"Just a friend."
"....Am I a friend?"
"Do you want to be?"
"I brought back your dragon, because I know you think we're not ready."
"RUBY!!!!!"
".............Come inside."
"Thanks.
I love your flower by the way."
"It's a gift from...….."
"Hey, Ruby."
"You!!!!"
"What?"
"You didn't tell me you'd date him."
"Problem? …..Oh.
Kain, you met Ruby."
"Pleasure."
"........Delighted?"
*Phmmmmmmmmmmm*
"Smells wonderful. What we having?
