Lean on me
Musa had come back to her family after spending two months as a mermaid. Tulio and Amazonia both discovered their true feelings for each other during Fiona and Musa's absent. Fiona was still stuck as a mermaid and she might be forever. Tulio first couldn't recognise his feelings for the dark-haired beauty, but after a talk with his mother everything feel into place. After Musa's arrival back at the palace, Tulio and Amazonia walked together outside the palace.
''What made you change your mind?'' Amazonia asked as they walked outside into the castle gardens.
''I had a talk with my mom.'' He replied her. Amazonia frowned one of her eyebrows in confusing as she looked upon him.
''When one door closes, another one opens.'' He repeated. If possible, Amazonia looked even more confused.
''What?'' She asked and looked weirdly at him. Tulio smiled and took both of her hands into his and stepped in front of her.
''That's what she told me. And I realised that, you are the only one that I want to find behind that door.'' He smiled and cupped her cheek with one of his hands. Amazonia sighed sadly and looked down in the ground.
''Hey, I know that I hurt you. But really, I do love you.'' He said and lifted her chin with his index finger.
''Okey correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it you who couldn't say those specific three words only an hour ago? What has changed Tulio?'' Amazonia removed his hand from her face and dropped it to his side. Tulio sighed.
''I have opened my eyes.'' He replied him. Amazonia rolled her eyes and shook her head.
''It's easy to say something without meaning it, but action speaks louder then words.'' She said before walking back to the palace.
After all that had happened lately, both Paris and Chel needed some time away from the others. As Paris couldn't leave the palace ground yet, the royal garden labyrinth had to do for now. Paris sat down in the grass leaning against the hedge with Chel sitting across his lap.
''Are you sure it's alright that I can sit here? What if something goes wrong again?'' She asked and tried to support herself as much as possible. Paris smiled and shook his head.
''You worry to much, it's alright.'' He replied her and brushed some strains of her from her face. She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips.
''When it's safe for me to go outside again, I'm going to show you this special place.'' He said when they broke apart.
''Ah so how many other girlfriends have you brought there?'' Chel giggled and wrapped her arm around his neck. Paris slapped her leg lightly making her giggle again.
''None, I haven't had anyone special enough to show it for.'' He said. Chel smiled widely and leaned her head on his shoulder.
''But there is something that I want you to do.'' He added. She looked at him again worriedly.
''I think that you should apologise to Amazonia for what you said to her.'' Chel sighed and nodded.
''I know, I'm not proud of that. Don't worry, I will.'' She said. Paris smiled and nodded before kissing her again.
Musa dragged Riven through the corridors towards the throne-room.
''Come on slowpoke!'' She laughed as she started to run faster.
''Take it easy woman.'' Riven laughed and tried to keep up with her. They arrived and Musa throwed the heavy doors opened. Inside Topaz sat down on the floor with Melody with Miguel kneeling besides them.
''Musa! You're back.'' Topaz said smiling widely.
''Yeah, and I'm never leaving ever again.'' Musa replied as she walked over to them and bend down and picked Melody up into her embrace.
''Mommy is never leaving you again.'' Musa added and pressed Melody closer to her and sighed in relief. Riven grinned and walked over to his family.
''No, because I won't let her.'' He said and wrapped his arm around Musa's shoulder. Miguel helped Topaz back up to her feet and wrapped his arms around his wife waist.
''So, Fiona is back to then?'' Topaz asked and leaned her head onto Miguel's chest. Musa looked at Riven sadly and shook her head.
''We went to see an enchantress and she gave me this potion that would turn me back because I wasn't put under a spell. But Fiona was, and nobody but herself can break it. And I have reason to believe that she might not even want to come back.'' Musa said sadly and stroke Melody's head.
Chel walked into the kitchen finding Amazonia sitting down and steering into her tea. Chel sighed deeply and walked over to the counter. She cleared her throat to get Amazonia's attention and she finally looked upon on the princess.
''Hi, can we talk for a moment?'' She asked and smiled slightly at Amazonia. Amazonia nodded and Chel sat down opposite her.
''I wanted to apologise for how I acted. I just have so much to think of at the moment, and I thought that it was a little bit to soon after their break-up. I have absolutely no problem with you.'' Chel said looking down in the table.
''No I understand. I just thought that it might have something to do with me and Paris spending so much time together.'' Amazonia replied her. Chel looked up on her with a smile and shook her head and laughed slightly.
''No, I don't have a problem with you and Paris. I know that you are just friends, and you have been a big help for him. Thank you for that.'' She said and placed her hand on Amazonia's. Amazonia smiled back and nodded. Suddenly Chel's smile faded away and she broke out crying hysterical instead.
''It's just that the thought of Paris never walking again killed me. And now when he finally is better, this crazy psychopath is after him.'' She sobbed and rested her forehead into her open palm.
''I nearly lost him once, I don't think I can do that again.'' She added. Amazonia sighed sadly and walked over to Chel and embraced her.
Amazonia sat outside in the courtyard reading her book. She took a deep breath and growled, throwing her book away.
''Hiding from Tulio?'' She looked around to see Musa smiling walking towards her. Amazonia chuckled and leaned back.
''Yeah.'' She replied her with a sigh. Musa sat down besides her and smiled slightly.
''There is something that I have to confess.'' Musa said and crossed her legs. Amazonia looked at her and frowned her eyebrows.
''We found this wanted poster of you in the sea.'' Musa began.
''And we looked for your mom, and we found her.'' She continued but where interrupt by Amazonia.
''You don't have to say anything. You hate her right?'' She asked.
''I'm sorry, but she's the most horrible person I have ever meet. Including your sisters.'' Amazonia nodded and looked down into her lap. Musa laid her hand unto Amazonia's shoulder making her look up at her.
''I don't want to be disrespectful towards your family but if you ever need to talk or help, you know where to find me.'' Musa smiled. Amazonia nodded and smiled back. Maybe this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Tulio walked past one of the stairs and glimpsed someone in the corner of his eye. He turned to see Amazonia sitting in the middle of the stairs reading. Sighing deeply, he slowly walked down to her. As he got closer, Amazonia turned her head and looked up at him. She sighed and stood up and walked past him.
''How long am I going to get the silent treatment?'' He said as he spun her around and trapping her with his arms to prevent her from escaping.
''Until you are true to yourself. As long you are not true to yourself, you can't be true to someone else.'' She replied and rested her hands on his chest trying to push him away. Tulio growled and shook his head.
''Amazonia, that's enough, this is stupid. We got to sort this out, running away everytime you see me is not going to solve anything.'' Amazonia glared at him annoyed.
''But lying does?''
''I have never lied to you. What do I have to do to prove it to you?'' He let go of her waist and ran a hand through his hair. Amazonia sighed and folded her arms.
''I need you to think through what you really want, and if that leads you to Fiona then I'll be really happy for you.'' She said. Tulio sighed and took a hold off her hands.
''You are the best thing that has happen to me in a long time, and I'm not letting you go. So you might as well stop struggling.'' He whispered and brought his face closer to hers. Amazonia gulped as she could feel his hot breath against her face.
''I love you, and I think I know the best way to prove it to you.'' Tulio added and dragged her with him.
It had been a long day for everyone. Topaz and Miguel babysat Melody so that Musa and Riven could spend some time together. The two of them laid in their bed.
''I can't believe this, that you really are back.'' Riven whispered as he pulled Musa tighter to him. She smiled and placed her hand on his neck.
''Well it's true. I'm just can't believe that Fiona is all alone into the entire ocean.'' She sighed sadly. Riven nodded and brushed hair from her face.
''Fiona is tough, she'll be okey.'' He said comforting. Musa nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionate.
''I have really missed you.'' She sighed when they broke apart.
Tulio walked in a quick pace dragging a running Amazonia behind him. He didn't stop until they found themselves outside the jeweller shop.
''What we doing here?'' Amazonia sighed and looked at Tulio.
''Just come on.'' He replied her and lead her inside. They walked over to a short older man with white beard and round glassed, standing behind the main glass-case.
''Your highness.'' The man bowed. Tulio stuck his hand into his pocket and placed the green velvet box with Fiona's engagement ring into it on the glass-case. Both the jeweller and Amazonia looked confused at him.
''Did the ring not please you Sir?'' The man asked again and took up the box and opened it to look at the ring.
''Very much. But I'm not here to return it, I'm here to find a new on to replace it with. Something even more unique and beautiful.'' Tulio replied him and looked over at Amazonia and grinned slightly. The man nodded and walked over to another case and Tulio followed him with Amazonia.
''Then you should take this your highness, it's more expensive. But it's more unique and beautiful, just life you asked for.'' He said and took out a ring with an oval dark blue sapphire surrounded by small diamonds. Both Tulio and Amazonia looked at the beautiful ring. Tulio grinned and turned around to look at Amazonia.
''What do you think?'' He asked and ran one of his hands through her long brown curls.
''It's gorgeous.'' She replied him never taking her eyes of the ring. Tulio nodded and took the ring and got down on one knee in front of her. Amazonia looked down at him in shock. Tulio took her hand with one of his and hold the ring to her with his other.
''Amazonia, the love of my life. Will you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?'' He asked with his perfect smile.
So what do you think? Should Amazonia except Tulio's proposal.
Finally Musa is back with her daughter and Riven, and she seems to get closer to Amazonia.
Paris and Chel's relationship also seems to get closer to each other, and we know how much she means to him, I smell a power couple in the making *sniffsniff*
