Epilogue

"Max! Time to wake up! Your breakfast is ready!" Andrea called from the hallway.

"Coming Mom!" Max said as he got dressed in his familiar green short-sleeved shirt with yellow on the collar and edges of the shirt-sleeves and brown slacks with his shoes as he went and brushed his teeth before peeking into Emmy's room seeing her sleep peacefully for the first time in days as he left for the kitchen.

Danny glanced around the room before seeing his the chair of oldest child completely empty. "Max where's Emmy?"

"Still asleep Dad," Max answered, digging into his breakfast.

"Okay Max. I'll keep her breakfast warm then,"Andrea suggested with a smile.

Emmy awoke later that morning feeling happier than she had been in two months as she got dressed in her red shirt and had put on her blue jumper while she did her hair in a ponytail before going downstairs to breakfast.

"Emmy! Are you up?" Andrea asked.

Emmy nodded, smiling at her mother.

Andrea smiled gently. "That's great to hear. Now come on before your breakfast gets cold."

"Thanks Mom!"

"Sure thing honey," Andrea said as she brought Emmy her warm breakfast.

Emmy glanced around the room, not seeing her father or brother anywhere no matter how hard she tried. "Mom where are Dad and Max?"

"They already had breakfast while you were asleep," Andrea replied, leaving the six-year-old confused.

"But I never sleep in!" Emmy protested.

Andre laughed softly. " You did today sweetheart with no nightmares as I went by your room to clean up the playroom and you wasn't yelling in your sleep anymore."

"Okay Mom," Emmy said, finally understanding as she ate her breakfast and drink her juice.

After breakfast, Emmy found Max in the playroom hiding as she asked him if they could play in Dragon Lsnd.

Before Max could answer, the two siblings heard the doorbell ring and Andrea answering it.

"Of course Mrs. Edwards. Emmy's in the play room with my son Max and I'm sure that your little girl will apologize to her just like you two had practiced."

Emmy's face turned pale at Andrea's words. Destiny was in her home! Hopefully she didn't want to bully her, not in front of Max at least.

"I'll get Destiny for you Emmy!" Max declared, holding a wooden sword that he had left the night before in the air.

Emmy giggled at her brother's actions before feeling a tap on her shoulder as she turned around to see Destiny with her shoulders down.

"It's okay Max, I just want to talk to Emmy in private," said Destiny, noticing the four-year-old's wooden sword as Max shook his head, got up, and went outside of the hallway of the playroom, leaving Emmy and Destiny in the room together.

"Listen, I'm really sorry for the way I tricked you in school. I didn't really want to do it but the other girls made me to it," said Destiny, feeling really sad.

"Why?" Emmy asked, wanting to know.

"Peer pressure," Destiny admitted softly.

"I forgive you and maybe you and I can be better friends when you come back, so we can put this big mess behind us and never talk about it." Emmy smiled as she held Destiny's shoulder.

"Well, my parents are trying to get the principal to let me come back. When that happens I'll never pick on you and I would really want us to be friends," Destiny said softly, almost afraid that Emmy would reject the idea.

Emmy grinned at the idea. "I like that idea a lot and next time, if someone asks you to do something that you don't want to do, just say no and walk away. Ok?"

The blonde nodded at the suggestion as it made her feel good that Emmy trusted her despite what she had done to her. "I'm never talking to those other bullies anymore. From now on, I'll be the nicest girl to you and your brother." Destiny hugged Emmy tightly.

"I will really like that," said Emmy, hugging Destiny back.

Destiny glanced around the room as she saw the dragon wallpaper. "Emmy this playroom is cool!"

"Really?" Emmy questioned, hoping that Destiny hadn't lied to her.

Destiny laughed. "Of course!"

Max came back after a few minutes and saw that Emmy and Destiny were drawing.

"What's going on?" He asked, glancing at the two girls.

"Well Destiny and I are now good friends and she promised to never bully me or you ever again," Emmy replied with a girn.

Max shrugged. "Ok. Just asking."

"I'm really sorry for what I said the other day, Max," said Destiny as she went over to Max and gave him a hug while he returned the hug to her. "I just wish there was a place where everyone is as friendly as you and Emmy"

"We know a place," Max said as Emmy bit her lip.

"What place?" Destiny asked, curious.

"Dragon Land!" Max exclaimed with a smile.

"Destiny, time to go!" Destiny's mother called as Destiny waved goodbye to her new friend.

Max and Emmy waved goodbye to Destiny and were smiling that Destiny was friendly to them.

"Max! What were you thinking?!" Emmy yelled once Destiny had left with her mother. "We can't take Destiny with us to Dragon Land!"

"Why not?" Max asked.

"We just can't Max! I mean I don't trust her as she may just blow our secret to her parents and our parents."

Max frowned before seeing the drawer glow.

"Hey Emmy, why don't we go to Dragon Land so you can tell them everything that happened," suggested Max with a smile.

"Good idea." Emmy walked toward the drawer where the dragon scale was as they held the scale and said the rhyme.

When Max and Emmy got to dragon land, they found their four friends waiting for them before Cassie saw Emmy and hugged her.

"Hey Emmy how are you?" Cassie asked, letting go of the hug.

Emmy grinned for the first time in two months. "I'm good because Destiny and I are now friends."

"Why is that?" Zak asked, wanting to support his friend but yet he didn't understand why she was so happy..

"Because Destiny came by to my house and promised to never pick on me or Max ever again," said Emmy.

Hearing her words, the dragons smiled, playing with Max and Emmy until it was time for them to go home.
