"I still wish we could go to the Wedding and not just goat it."
"You two are not goating it. We'll still be there. I just....Need help."
"Why not ask Darius?"
"He's too inexperienced and would take forever to train."
"What about Rainbow?"
"She's in the Wedding. No need to flutter her feathers, or else her sister will catch word; and the whole thing will go up."
"Do we have to do this for every Coronation?"
"It won't be for a while until Elwin and Kain."
"But….."
"If you won't do it for me, can you do it for Kyle? Repay him for helping raise you two?"
"I...."
"We...…"
"Rhino, please?"
"....Jaguar?"
"I thought Mrs. Heartchild told you to not train us Kids into more Protectors like you, but just let us be kids."
"Kids...….I don't want any of you to become like me, but at the end of the day; it will take too long for me to train others, and get the School up and going. So if I am away, I need one hundred percent trust that someone else will be able to answer at the press of a call.
Rainbow has shown great growth, but....."
"She has a family to come back to everynight? Is that it?"
"I can't promise you any rewards or offerings for your services, but seeing people happily playing on the Playground...…..is that not rewarding enough? Wish I could do better."
"Ruby.....we may not like the position we are in, but if these are our Parents footsteps; then somebody has to put their feet in them."
"Thank you.
Oh thank you. Oh thank you. I know that They will do their hardest to get me invited to the Wedding, so if that is the case...."
"You don't trust any of the Security?"
"I don't know any of them."
"Have you tried?"
"If it aint broke, don't fix it. I may not know you personally, but I do know your parents; and although this World is trying their hardest to say we no longer need them; not only will I feel safer knowing that you two are still following in their footsteps; but so will others."
"When can we reunite? I know it's been a few weeks, and..."
"Will we ever see them again?"
"You'll see them again if you want. I was never stopping you before, and I am not stopping you now. So if it ever felt like I was and that I taught you training over love...I am sorry. That was not my intent."
"We forgive you, Ruby. Can't wait to tell the others. They will be so overjoyed that at least 'some of us'...are still following in our parents footsteps."
"Ummm…..Maybe it's not a good thing just yet to say hi to them."
"What do you mean? Have you not told them that you found us?"
"Ummmmm….."
"Ruuuuuuu…by?"
"The Role of a Protector is to be heard, not seen."
"I thought we were Kids. Kid Protectors."
"You are. It's just...."
"Headmaster?"
"I don't want to lose you. I've...we.....we've trained so hard these past few days and have worked so close for this. It's not that you would be letting your parents down by walking away, but maybe me. Or. Or…..what about Tai?"
"Ruby, we'd never let you down, nor walk away; but if you want us to trust you, then you have to trust us."
"Please?"
"...Ohhhh...Ok then. Can't have you start balling your eyes out saying I never let you do anything in life."
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"But remember why I am letting you do this."
"Of course, Ruby. We would never forget."
"Now get out of here before the Night Terrors get you."
"If there be a Night Terror, then…."
*Vroom...…Vroom*
"We'll smash it to smitherings."
