Another decision causes another happening.

On a cool night a figure walked down to Rainbow Valley. He sat on a mossy rock . The wind blew through his hair ruffling them, the stars and moon released some light to reveal, a confused expression on his face. His mother walked up to him.

" Walter, you should do, what you think is best. Don't think too much about us you have a family to support and remember whatever you do I know you'll choose the right choice" said the Anne Shirley of her days.

Later the Sun went to Glen St. Mary where it stayed for a while. No birds chirped but the dim winter sun rays fell on everything in the village and on a certain girl's mournful face.

"Your truly going Walter, then Ken and I are going too" blurted out the emotional Rilla.

Di looked so sad more than Rilla; Walter had to leave them forever. She ran upstairs with tears in her eyes Nan joined her. Rilla was so obstinate she went to pack her suitcase . Walter frowned and went to get Di and Una went with him.

He knocked on the door a muffled yes was heard and he went in, he saw Nan's sad face and Di's buried head in her pillow.

"Di, Nan you could always come and see me in Avonlea" said Walter to the crying Di.

"I thought I lost you, now I am really losing you." She explained with a muffled voice.

"Di, I'll never truly lose me, I'll always be with you though I might be far, this is rather confusing but you do understand" he continued. And the reply he got was a nod.

Meanwhile Una helped Rilla with the packing, she smiled at her obstinacy.

"Rilla are you sure" Una questioned her.

Rill said yes. Her hand moved quickly stuffing clothes in. In went clothes, her books, her album of pictures but one flew into her hand, one of her parents. Una saw the opportunity of ushering, not knocking ,but sweetly ushering sense into her head

"Rilla what will your parents do?" she questioned again looking into Rilla's eyes.

"They have Nan ,Di and practically everyone in whole of Glen St. Mary !" she retorted selfishly

"But they need the comfort of their children, your unique love, " answered Una.

Rilla stopped her eyes looked thoughtful but she smiled:

"You better take care of Walter" she said very seriously. All of them went down the stairs and stood at the door while Walter and Una where carried in a car. Though the family felt like losing someone precious the all gained a time of when they could comfort and support each other.

"I wonder what the future holds for them?" said Anne

"Well, Mrs. Dr. Dear" answered Susan .

" They just have to find out" completed Dr. Blythe as Walter and Una waved to them as if they knew the future was bright, full of promises, wonder and a lovely new life together.
