She smiled as she watched them, basking in their light from affar, she enjoyed doing it and did so regularly.
She watched as Tyson slowly became more mature, ready to think of the consequences and she saw Max becoming more confidant as his independence grew.
They had been with her a while now, taking all the courses Mr D had sighned them up for which included all the regular ones and a few extra.
Every few months they went on holiday to a secluded beach resort she liked and had the same photo, of them leaning against the rocks, taken.
Looking at them now made her almost dizzy, the boys were looking different to how they were when they first came to her, the photos only highlighted that.
It was looking back at these photos that she decided to give them some lessons in media training. She took them to the study and began to explain to them about not letting the media take advantage of them, what to let them do and how to handle them, she even gave them a crash course in modelling.
"But why would we need to know that?" asked a very puzzled Max.
She merely smiled, she'd show him soon.
She noticed over things too, like how Max would look when Tyson received a ltter from Ray and the sadness when he found out he wasn't mentioned and how angry he was when Tyson waved it around in front of him. Tyson didn't notice, Max was good at covering them up with a smile.
Max got his revenge though. She noticed how innocently he slipped his emails from Kai into conversation and he received them a lot more frequently than Ray's letters. Soon Tyson learnt not no mention the letters.
Of course she knew that the letters/emails were more than torture devices. Tyson enjoyed hearing from Ray and Max was becoming fast friends with Kai.
Yes she knew a lot of things, like the fact it was coming to the end of her time. She didn't tell the boys, there was no point yet, but she found her time with them even more pecious.
She finally showed them their, as she liked to call them, before and after photos. Their reactions were priceless, especially Max who actually gasped when he realised what a blond beauty he was.
She helped them get used to it, oh what fun times they had! Like when Tyson dared Max to cross dress and walk down into the nearest town, almost 20 boys had asked him out, he looked exactly like one!
Tyson found out how good he was at dancing and she immediately set about finding teachers for him. Max was good as well, but not quite as good, though his singing could send you to tears.
She tried to teach them about life and how to look after themselves. She knew she wouldn't be there much longer. They were the only things holding her back.
One day as she looked out her balcony she spotted a handsom boy dancing along the beach, wind blowing his hair, he looked like a greek hero.
At that point something emerged from the waves, a nymph! she thought.
It took her nearly a minute to work out it was Tyson and Max.
My eyesight really must be going, but they really are gorgeous!!
She watched them and she saw them blossom away from the world.
How could their families not want to see this, I wouldn't give it up for the world.
One day she woke up and knew it was time. She spent her last day watching them before calling them to her room.
"Hello boys, well you're not really boys anymore are you? It's my time to go now,hush! Don't be upset, I've only been biding my time until I could see you like this. You should leave now, you're ready to take on the world."
Her voice was fading now
"You need to, to find peace. You'll be fine, I can truly state that your in bloom! "
It was barely more than a whisper now
"I love you…find happiness."
And with that she was gone.
The next day was the funeral, it was a small affair. Mr Dickenson turned up to pay his last respects to his ex-wife. He was shocked at how much the boys had changed.
That night they packed their bags and said goodbye to the place they had called home for the past 2 years. Then they got in a taxi, much like the one that had brought them there, and returned to their long ago families.
The journey was quiet, but inside they knew, they were ready to fact the world as changed people.
