Chapter 542 - Tangy

"Is that what this feeling is?"

"I know you like it. I can see it in your eyes.

I have a feeling you are about to invite me somewhere else. A Musuem perhaps. The most biggest and boastful place where we can physically see what went wrong; and wheep for those who made it through."

"I...What about your Fantasy Kingdoms?"

"Those are different. They are not Fantasies."

"They were when they first started.

Ruby, don't you see? You are no different than us."

"Yes I am. I am stronger, faster, and weirder...

It's just best I forget."

"Why not learn?"

".....Their is nothing to learn from."

"Have a good day, Ruby. I genuinely hope that whatever you came here for.....you have found.

Take care."

"...........Huh?

Oh.

YOU TOO."

*Bring.....Bring....*

"Dial changed?

*Beep*

Hello."

"Ruby, are you camera shy?"

"I thought you didn't want me on the cover of your Newspaper."

"You won't be.

We'll be."

"We?"

"You. Me. Rainbow.

As I said. It doesn't matter how things got where, but what people did with it last; and if this be your last night, then I want to be the one that goes out with a bang.

Many have heard of other Kingdoms, but none have gone to them. I may not have the Queens, but that doesn't mean I can't play the hand I've dealt."

"I'll see if Rainbow is up for it."

"What do you mean? She's a Princess."

"Yes, but she is way different then you or.....she has an older sister. Something you or I have never had."

"Help her step out of the shadows."

"Exactly.

She is getting fit for a Dress right now. Might need to go back in and tell her to upgrade her design."

"And you?"

"Mrs. Sands and Jordan are working on mine as we speak. Should be ready within...Just a loose Seam design on a pre-existing dress so that no one will ever see what's underneath.

No need to go all out.

Can't say the same for Rainbow, though. Might need to go back in there."

"No. No."

"No?"

"Ler her be. She'll be fine.

There is something though that I would like to talk to you about. Give you the recognition you deserve."

"Oh I.....I don't think I should....."

"Promote your school, Ruby.

I told you, if they take a stab again; this will mean war.

This is a Charity ball, and I see no greater investment than our Kids future."

"....Neither do I.

Do I have to give a speech on why a school and not a Hospital? And then why not? What happened?"

"Not if you don't want to, but a few insights wouldn't hurt.

Just a little, 'While my friends are away building; I am out here to spread the word. So please join me.'"

"Ummm."

"Of course you can put some Pazaze and some glitter sparkles over top if need be."

"But even I don't know what we'll study.

Elwin told me it would be helpful to tell people where we were; then Rainbow told me it would be insightful to help people awaken their own magic.

Not to mention our Lab will be used to combate ever growing crisis'. I just don't know how to tie it all together."

"Ruby, that's what a School is. Every single person contributes. From the Board, to the Trustees, to even the classroom presidents; we all play a role.

Talk about I don't know. Unity and not division. An Interracial school committed to bringing together the best of all worlds."

"All worlds?

Even the non-magic ones?"

"Especially the non-magic ones."

"That's a lot of trust in a small place."

"I know we can handle it. Hope to see you soon."
