"Ruby?"
"Yes?"
"We can't just stay away from Our Kingdom forever. We will be going back eventually.....right?"
"It's best to wait a few days to let everyone cool down. Go back now, and people will still see you. Tonight; they will hate you; and tomorrow…..Realization will strike."
"So, Three days? No more, no less?"
"No more, no less."
"Then how do we spend them? I just don't want anything to be destroyed by the time I get back. What happens if the school gets..or….or…my Castle. I think we should really….."
"Relax. We left Rainbow back there. Not only her, but the Heartchilds too.
People listen to them."
"But how well?"
"....That…... .leads to be decided. The Exit is just ahead.
Can you smell the fresh leaves of the Meadow?"
"I can smell something..."
"And it sure aint pleasant."
"Hey, that's where those dirty socks went. Was wonderding that."
"Darius, I thought you were good about cleaning your room. You do so well at Ruby's."
"That's because we are guests ... .and I want to make her feel like we want to come back."
"You don't want to come back here?"
"Well...…"
"Let me ask you this.
Honest answer please.
Where would you like to go, if given the choice?"
"I honestly don't care. You could spin a globe; mark a spot blindfolded; and I would be happy. As long as it's with...
...…"
"With?"
"Forget it. It would never happen."
"Would, or could?"
"Can it?
....Would she really let us….
But.....you're not pulling my...…
…Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, and triple yes on top of all those decker Yesses."
"Okay. I can see someone is on board, but we still have to jump through some hoops in order to help Ruby out."
"Help? But why can't she just buy it herself?"
"She already has, but we are next on the list.
She wants to start over; be free of anything holding her back, and if she were to stay in that house...….everybody would find her."
"Then where will she go?
We can't just kick her out."
"Darius, we are not going to kick her out. I think it's high time we make Anew, and I.....we.....already know she will.
We're not imposing by any means."
"She knows she can't hold onto anything forever, but she wants to keep this a house ... .not an Orphanage. The only thing she told us is to keep the overall feel of the place. You can change everything, but never the feeling. That....that never goes away."
"I.....I...…..let's hurry up so I can hug her myself."
"I'm sure she can't wait to hug you again as well."
"All of your new friends."
"All of them? Even...…
Be right back. I'll be in my room."
"Darius, wait.
*Earrrchhh*
….We still have to talk about his Schooling, and host a moving away party."
"I'm definitely moving away, but I want to get there before they do.
*Earrrriiiiikkk*
Here goes nothing.
Ruby, I hope you were right that I was you…... .cause this is a long ways up.
Whelp, here goes nothing."
