Jade was alone, hugging her knees in that cold, dark cell. She'd been in there for months, forced to think about what she did.

She had feelings for Rex still, but every day she felt her heart getting more and more empty.

She looked down, somewhat feeling sorry even though she refused to think she was.

"Jade." Unikitty's voice sounded, she hopped up to the cell.

Jade turned, her long hair covering her body.

She didn't say a word.

"Jade, come on. Get up, I have something to tell you." Unikitty said, he tone sweet.

Jade turned slightly.

"Jade, you're almost free to go. I see you...turning very...empty I guess. More sad."

Jade sat up, "...Letting me go, huh?"

"But, you need an escort first. To monitor you. It's a rule on your first few days out." Unikitty mentioned, "Luckily we have someone who volunteered."

Jade looked in confusion, "Who?"

Unikitty moved aside, Caylus standing behind her.

Jade looked down, "Why? If anything you should still hate me, not want to even get close to me."

"That's not the case." Caylus smiled, "I was the villain once too. In your first few days of freedom I want to see the better person you become. I know I changed."

Jade chuckled, "Me? I've always been selfish and overall a huge jerk. What makes you think I'll change?"

"I just know." Caylus looked to Unikitty.

Unikitty unlocked the cell, "You'll be staying with Caylus for a week. If all checks out well in the end, you are free to return to your home."

Jade sighed, "Okay. Fair."

Jade walked out of the cell, looking at Caylus.

Caylus showed a smile, "Let's go then, I have stuff there for you already."

Jade nodded, quiet.

"Caylus, just in case anything happens, let me know. She's stripped of her power, so either way you should be fine."

"I will, come on, Jade."

Caylus and Jade left the cell block, the two stepping outside.

Jade's eyes reacted to the sun, her looking away.

"Been a while, huh?"

"Shut up." Jade snapped, "...You really didn't have to do this. In fact, I'd rather stay in the cell longer."

"The princess demanded your freedom, so it has to be done."

"She really didn't have to."

Caylus frowned slightly, Jade was definitely different from when he sat her last.

"Do you feel bad, about what you did?"

"What? No!" Jade snapped, "Why would I?! I still love Rex and I still want him."

"But you're powerless now. I think...the best option here is to just...move on."

"...Yeah." Jade scoffed, "Whatever."

It was a silent few minutes between the two, but the both of them were finally at Caylus's self made Mansion.

Jade looked around the place, comparing it to her small home. She wondered how long it took Caylus to construct it, considering it was mostly magic.

"You have your own room upstairs. I bought you new clothes are stuff you need. My brother is across from you so, be careful, he's kinda shy."

"You have a brother?"

Caylus nodded, "He's nineteen now."

"So...young."

"Compared to us, yeah. But he is my LITTLE brother after all." Caylus smiled.

Jade sighed, "Okay, which room is it?"

"End of the wall, has your name on it."

"You even personalized it for me?" Jade sighed, "Okay, I'll be up there if you need me…not that you ever will but…"

Jade proceeded upstairs, going into her said room.

She was surprised to find it decorated just for her. Green and gold lined the walls and decorated the room.

She looked on the bed. Some clothes were there, folded neatly for her.

She looked down at her white prison gown, and her face twisted in disgust.

She picked up the pale green dress, smiling slightly.

She quickly changed into it, looking in the mirror nearest to her. She liked it.

"It's weird." Jade looked down, "Why is he doing all this for me? Doesn't he hate me? I mean...I used him and almost made him erase his friend."

Jade pondered the thought.

Meanwhile, Caylus was downstairs. He sighed, thinking to himself.

Henry came downstairs, "Oh, Caylus. You're back."

Caylus nodded.

"Where'd you go anyway?"

"I volunteered to help Princess Unikitty. I'm watching a criminal for a week."

"A criminal? Who?" Henry questioned.

"Jade."

"...The one who you said was pretty?"

"Shh." Caylus hushed, blushing slightly.

Henry smiled, "So that's it. That's why you volunteered."

"Look, don't tell anyone. Okay? She's still bad news. Especially after all she did."

"I can keep a secret, don't worry." Henry smiled, "But didn't she like, control your mind and stuff, almost made your friend disappear?"

"Yeah, she did. I was mad at her at first but...I don't know. I think I forgive her."

"Sounds like something that's not usually forgiven."

"Because it isn't." Caylus sighed, "No one knows I have her yet. Should I just...keep it that way?"

"That's all up to you, big brother."

Caylus looked down, "Yeah. It is."

"You told me you were the villain once, maybe that's what connected the two of you."

Caylus looked, "I wanted revenge, she wanted someone to love her. I'm just thinking at the end of this...she can get her wish. Even villains deserve a happy ending. Sometimes, it's all they need."

Henry smiled, "Okay. I get you." He thought for a moment.

"Hey, I'm going out."

"Right now?"

"Yeah, remembered I have to do something. See you in an hour or so." Henry waved, exiting the mansion.

Caylus sighed, now alone, he looked upstairs. His thoughts were conflicted. Should he check on Jade or leave her alone?

Henry knew where he was going, and while Caylus was alone with his thoughts, he wanted to take this opportunity.

He peeked into Unikitty's palace.

"Princess, are you here?"

"Yep!"

Henry jumped at Unikitty's sudden appearance. He stepped inside fully.

"Princess, there's something I need to ask of you."

"And what would that be, Henry? Something fun?" Unikitty smiled brightly, the look on her face overwhelmed with positivity.

"Caylus likes this girl...and I think your matchmaking skills might come in handy." Henry replied.

"Caylus has a crush?! Hehe, who is she? Do I know her?" Unikitty bounced.

"Yes, Princess. She was in your dungeon for almost a year now."

Unikitty's eyes widened, "He likes Jade?!"

"Yes, but princess. Don't be mad at him. He understands well that what she did was wrong. He feels like she deserves something more, that he himself also deserves something more. Please, princess. Do this so the villains of this story can be happy." Henry showed a small smile.

Unikitty pondered the thought, "...Okay, Henry. Don't worry. We'll get them together."

"Thank you, Princess. It means a lot."

"Okay...but let's see how they do alone first. Then we can really spice things up!"

Unikitty seemed okay with the idea, which Henry was delighted about. He just hoped this would work out. His brother was alone for a long time, he needed someone just as much as Jade did.

Back at his mansion, Caylus lightly knocked on the door. Peeking into Jade's room.

"Hey." He spoke softly.

Jade turned to him, she was putting her hair up, a pretty satin ribbon holding it in place.

"Caylus...hello."

She looked around her room a moment.

"How'd you know green was my favorite color?" She asked.

"Well, a Jade is green, right?"

Jade laughed, "Yeah, I suppose it is. Though to me, it's just a simple and pretty color. It stands out because of how bright it is."

"So, a fairy huh?"

Jade lowered her gaze, sitting on her bed.

"Well...not anymore since all my power has been drained. I'm just like anyone else now. Though, I don't particularly hate it. Sure, it's different, but I'll get used to it."

Caylus day next to her, "I can tell you're sorry."

Jade nodded, "Yeah. I am. I was blinded by obsession of a man I had feelings for. Now, I'm not even sure if it was all worth it. There's a reason people say it's easy to move on. To start something new." She paused, "I know I'm not pretty like other girls but-"

"Jade, you're beautiful." Caylus interrupted.

A blush tinted Jade's cheeks, "I uh...am I?"

Caylus nodded, "At least I think so."

The two looked at each other, both their hearts seemed to race, though they fully didn't understand why.

"You uh...don't look that bad either." Jade admitted, "And you seem like a good guy. From what I know at least."

"From what everyone's told you…yeah. That's pretty much me." Caylus chuckled lightly.

"I've felt so alone for so long it's...nice to talk to someone. About everything."

"I totally get that...but I'm glad you're sorry and you had time to think."

"Yeah, a lot of time. How's Lucy's baby by the way?" Jade asked, "She was pregnant when I was arrested, right?"

"Yeah. Faith is doing just fine. A very happy baby." Caylus smiled, "As for Rex and Marie, they're going pretty strong. They love each other a lot."

"I want something like that." Jade mentioned, "I know it can't be with Rex...but, someone else."

"How about...um…"

Jade turned to Caylus, a look of questioning in her expression.

"Um, a guy that's still strong but...probably…"

"You were going to say 'me'. Right?"

Caylus looked at her, in slight shock. He didn't deny it, because it was in fact true.

"How'd you know."

"I just know. It's a fairy thing, powers or not."

Caylus looked down, "Sorry, yeah, I like you but...I'm sure they've told you enough about me. I'm pathetic, not worth the time."

Jade sighed, "You're amazing, Caylus. I mean, you brought back someone who wasn't even supposed to exist, so he could live the life he wanted."

"It was for evil intentions at first. He regret the day I saw him as a tool...and not a friend."

Jade put a hand on his shoulder, "You've changed. I think we both have."

Caylus turned to face her.

"Y-yeah."

The two were quiet for a moment, affected by the conversation they just had.

Without much of any thought, the two mindlessly leaned in, kissing each other.

The two separated, realizing what they did a bit late in the situation.

"I uh…" Caylus stood up, "I'm sorry."

He turned, but Jade grabbed his hand, pulling him back towards her.

"Caylus, I...maybe like you too." Jade admitted, "Maybe we should start…dating."

"...Maybe." Caylus turned to her, blushing slightly.

"Will you...try it?"

Caylus thought a moment, after all these years of being alone, he wanted to say yes right away, but he didn't want to appear desperate.

After a long pause he spoke, "Sure. We can do that."

Jade smiled, "Don't disappoint me. I've heard you're one of the best."

Caylus smiled back, exiting the room.

He sighed, "She likes me…"

Henry entered the mansion again, he looked up.

"Caylus." He called for his brother.

Caylus went to him, "Hey." He smiled.

"You seem happy." Henry pointed out, "Did you flirt with Jade or something while I was gone."

"Well...she kissed me."

"She kissed you?!" Henry asked in shock.

Caylus nodded, "Yeah. She wants to starting dating me, she how things go."

"Well, guess what, it's your lucky day. Unikitty and I planned the whole thing."

"That's where you went?"

Henry nodded, "Unikitty really has a talent for these types of things. Don't worry. This first date will be a big success."

Caylus smiled, "Well...let's do it then. I want to."

"Good on you, big bro." Henry jumped with joy.

Caylus shifted his gaze, He really hoped this would work out. He might not be the main character in this story, nor is he that important of a character, but this is something he needed.

A change made for the better.
