Kendra took a deep breath and started walking toward pond. She felt like something was pushing her there. It was a wonderful day - she could've done anything she wanted - but yet she continued along the path. There were more fairies than usual, but she thought it was because of the wonderful day. She was just a few meters away from the pond when she saw a brisk flash of light. Kendra started walking faster, intrigued by what just happened. There was a figure standing near the was rushing through her body- it was Bracken.
She didn't totally believe it at first- she had to blink twice to make sure she was right - and as expected, she was. They started running toward each other and hugged tightly. "I missed you so much!" Bracken whispered.
Kendra fought the threatening tears . "I missed you too!". His hands were wrapped around her, a feeling she would experience every second of her life. They looked at each other for a few seconds. Kendra couldn't fight her tears anymore.
"Hey… What's wrong?" Bracken asked in a low voice. She wiped her tears away. "Nothing… I'm just happy you're back" Kendra finally managed to say.
"Well.. If you're happy now… I wonder how happy you'll be when I tell you that I'm moving in for a few months?" he whispered. Kendra stopped crying. She moved her head away from his chest. Noticing her surprise, he said "Mother sent me here because she wanted her realm to be a surprise. Even for me."
After receiving this information Kendra tried really hard not to yell "YES!" out loud. They walked aroung the still pond for several minutes, talking about what happened since they last saw each other.
When the sun was setting, they both agreed it was time to ge back to the house.
