Part Two – Chapter 7: A New Home

"You look beautiful, Jen," complimented Kylie. She was fixing her Jen's hair by braiding two strands of hair from the front and putting them together in the back. They were right in front of a mirror to see too.

"Thanks," Jen said softly. She was wearing a purple dress that you can see the tattoo on her chest but also in a wheelchair. Everyone eventually knew about the Heart inside her. Jen wasn't completely healed yet because she was wounded into her soul too. The healers tried their best for two weeks healing her while she stayed over at Kylie's house. However, she was still physically and mentally disabled. She had no cast on. But she looked mostly depressed and pale. The others were either back at their own home or in the Dream World during the two weeks. Now, they were waiting for Jen and Kylie to come back to the Dream World.

Kylie finished her hair and kneeled right by Jen. "Hey, are you doing alright?"

Jen looked down after seeing herself in the mirror. "I'm fine." It didn't sound like she was and Kylie knew.

She put a hand on her shoulder, "Are you ready to go to the Dream World? They're waiting for us."

"I'm ready," she replied as she continued to look down. Kylie made a portal from the Heart of Dreams and strolled Jen to there.

When they arrive, they immediately saw the others. They were in front of a memorial that was fogged up. "Hey Jen!" exclaimed Nick. Jen looked up and smiled a little.

"Hi."

"Glad you came. We're ready for the ceremony," he said. They invited Jen to a ceremony that was going to honor her and Kylie. But Jen didn't know that.

"What's with the fog?" asked Kylie.

"For the finale," replied Peter. He walked up to the podium that wasn't covered in the fog and spoke, "We gathered here today to honor the two brave Gatekeeper Guardians who helped the most in the final battle of Phobos. Though we don't know when the gate will open again, but we do know that it won't open till another hundred years. The Oblivion Gate has two Heart powers to hold it off. Some members have went on an expedition of the Dream World and found out that there are societies here. We're not alone. They can be future Gatekeeper Guardians since the gate is in this world. We can make this world into a better place to help the real world.

Now, we're start off by talking about Kylie." Peter looked at her and she smiled back. "A former quintessence leader, Kylie has led a team before to victory for her final battle with Phobos. She learned that sacrifices had to be made in order to win. After some years, her job was still not done yet. She helped Jen's second team when Jen's first team turned evil. Also, she helped Jen get her powers back. Lastly, she joined with the rest of us to defeat Phobos in the Dream World. Kylie's great leadership was shown by her quick, decisive skills and confidence. Without her, we wouldn't be here. So thank you, Kylie." Peter had finished his part and walked off the stage.

Kylie hugged him and said, "No problem. I'm glad to help everyone." Peter blushed and hugged back. The two went to the group, and it was Alan's turn. Peter and Alan were the main speakers who set up the event.

"Of course, we can't forget about Jen, the Guardiankeeper, and the quintessence leader twice. With her first team, she had a difficult time from what I heard. She was still learning the ropes. Then for her second team, she might've gotten a little over-hand with being the leader again but we had great teamwork. I think the most important parts of her honor is her sacrifices the way she dealt with her sufferings. She had to see her boyfriend die but thankfully revived back, was killed by one of the daughters of darkness, lost her powers by Trevor, and almost killed again and disappeared by Phobos." Jen didn't realize she had to go through all that. She raised her eyebrows but kept a straight face. Alan continued, "But all of that finally sealed Phobos away for a long time. Now she is one with the Kandrakar Heart. She deserves to be the new council. All in favor say 'Aye.'" Everyone said Aye. Jen looked at them. She felt so flattered.

Alan cleared the fog away for everyone to see the memorials. There was two of them, one for each to Kylie and Jen. There was also statues of them. Kylie dropped her jaw. She was so surprised.

"Oh my gosh! You guys are the best!" she exclaimed. Jen saw everything too. Her eyes opened wider. She didn't say anything but she felt like Kylie on the inside.

Nick wrapped his arms around Jen from the back of her neck. "Hope you like our new home in the Dream World." He then gave her a kiss. Some of the guys lit up some fireworks too. Everyone looked up to see the sparkling fireworks in the night sky. After a while, Jen cried out a tear from her eye.
