"Alice, are you ready for tomorrow? I know you must be scared, this is a big step forward for both of us. Even though Luke and Nashi are a little bit upset, they think that you are replacing Neptune." a man wearing a bright red suit with golden lining the edges, walking with a woman wearing a solid white dress lined with a similar gold trim
With a look of determination in her eyes Alice looked towards the man and spoke, "Yes I am nervous, and excited; I know that this is a really big deal, I really wish my dad could give us his blessing."
The flame lord stops in his tracks, leaning over arms outstretched reaching towards Alice. "Don't worry Alice, your father will give his blessing in time. I remember when I first met you; you didn't really trust me completely either at first."
Alice stops walking and looks deep into his bleak eyes, a fiery vortex of anger, sadness, loneliness staring back at her; suddenly a tear fell down from his face. The flames that wreathe and dance around him, not being strong enough to suppress his emotions anymore. Alice trembles slightly, unknowing on what to do, as she had never seen him cry before.
Alice walks into his arms and hugs him, "why are you crying; did I do anything wrong?" she spoke in a soft whisper.
In an exhausted tone, "No, Alice, you didn't do anything wrong; it's just, when I am with you, I don't feel like I am fighting against the world by myself; I have someone who loves me for who I am, not the power I wield."
Shocked at the revelations and things that she just heard, Alice hugs tighter and starts to slowly tear up, "why didn't you didn't say anything before. I could have helped sooner." she asked while trying to hold back to tears.
"The reason I didn't ask soo...….."

The flame lord slowly leaves the embrace, "I have to go, we'll talk more later."
Alice looks up to the flame lord before he begins to walk away, "Cameron, I want you to know I will always be on your side. I love you."
Cameron, looks down at Alice with a look of repent "I know Alice, thank you. I have to go find Robert to fix that though. Goodbye for now.
With the vision of the man walking away down a long hallway, young Alices' eyes begin to slowly dilate and focus back on the child that lay in front of her.
