Chapter 10
Ending and Epilogue
~Last Time~
The tunnel was starting to collapse!
"Sweet merciful muffin tops! We're all gonna die!" Owen cried with panic as he screamed.
"We have to get out of here or we'll all be berried alive!" Trent cried out.
"I'm a mole I'll just dig my way out of this mess; but you on the other hand are not going anywhere!" Alejandro explained holding onto Trent's shoulders so tight that his finger nails were digging into his skin.
"Trent! No!" Gwen cried out running to help him.
She tried preying Alejandro off of Trent, but he had a strong grip on the poor guy.
"Hey, let him go!"
"No, he and the rest of you will be berried here alive." Alejandro told her.
"Aw man I'm to young to die!" Owen said crying and screaming some more.
Trent kicked Alejandro in the stomach sending him backwards.
"Everybody quick, through the exit!" He said.
Without hesitation Owen ran out of the underground and outside in the blink of an eye.
"Come on let's go!" Gwen told Trent, grabbing his hand and running to the exit. However, Alejandro wasn't finished with them and grabbed Gwen's arm.
"Nobody is going anywhere." He said through gritting teeth.
"Ugh let me go you creep!" Gwen cried out struggling under his grip.
"Never..." Alejandro simply replied.
"Leave her alone!" Trent cried out tackling Alejandro.
"Gwen run, get out while you still can!"
"I'm not leaving you here Trent! I won't be separated from you again!" She replied upset and scared.
"I know but I won't lose you to a cave in, now go!" Trent told her in a serious tone.
"B-But...But..."
"GO NOW!"
Hesitating a little, Gwen did as she was told and ran for the exit. Before she left she looked back at her true love who was sacrificing his life for her own. She didn't want to leave him behind with Alejandro to fight against, but with the tunnel shaking up and ready to go down she had no choice.
"Goodbye Trent...I love you." She said softy shedding a tear before hurrying out of the cave and to safety just as the tunnel went down.
~On with the Story~
The tunnel had collapsed, Gwen was out with Owen, but when she turned back around dust surrounded the area and once revealed...Nothing. There was no sign of Trent and the doorway had been berried by the mount of dirt from the ceiling. Digging away the dirt would take to long and even if Trent had somehow survived he was trapped inside. His only hope would be to find another exit, if there was one.
"Trent..." Gwen said crying a bit.
"Why him? Why did he have to do that?"
Owen walked over to her and put a wing onto her shoulder for comfort. He felt bad for Gwen since she had just lost someone very dear to her to the crumbling of a dirt tunnel. He bowed his head down for a moment of silence before he was greeted by a warm embrace of a hug and then cold fresh tears.
"Hey it'll be okay Gwen. Maybe Trent got out before the place collapse on top of him and sending him to his doom." Owen reassured her in a way that wasn't really helping Gwen at the moment.
Nope, it only made things worse and she's crying more than before. It's terrible to lose someone you love to certain death, but Gwen had to be strong. If Trent managed to avoid the catastrophe then there was still hope for him.
"Please be alright Trent, please." Gwen whispered to herself.
"I'm sorry Gwen...There's nothing else we can do now, but hope that Trent got out of there somehow." Owen told her.
"There's gotta be something...Anything!" She cried out.
"Hm...Well we might not be able to dig him out, but I'll bet the fairies can get him out!" Owen explained.
"Owen that's a great idea! Quick, you get all the fairy help you can bring, I'll stay here and try to move some of these rocks." Gwen explained the plan to him.
The plan was set and then put into action. Owen quickly flew off into the sky while Gwen stayed and began to move the rocks and dirt from the cave door. Hopefully there was still hope in rescuing Trent and that he was alright. She moved rock after rock whether heavy or light for nothing was going to keep Gwen from rescuing her true love.
Fresh sweat came down her face while dirt got onto her wedding dress; but Gwen didn't care about any of that stuff for Trent was her one and only main concern right now. She tried to hurry; but she also tried to be careful when pulling away rocks because the last thing Gwen needed was to be toppled with rocks and dirt on top of her.
The key here is to use both your brain and muscles to rescue a friend or loved one in need here.
That and don't give up and keep going till the cavory arrives to offer a hand in it.
Digging, lifting and moving the rocks and dirt Gwen kept focusing on the task at hand with saving Trent. He was somewhere in this great mess that nature thrown at them and hopefully hanging on. Then again he's a strong fellow so he's hanging on in there.
Sure enough help arrives and everyone get's right to work on saving their prince. They moved, lifted, dug, anything they could do to help free Trent before it was too late or at least before something worse happened.
"Hang on Trent we're coming for you!" DJ cried out as he dug into the dirt.
"He's probably already found a way out or at least is somewhere away from all of this." Harold pointed out.
"Ugh if that were true we wouldn't have to be doing this now would we?" Duncan pointed out to Harold as he threw a rock to the side.
"Easy their honey, the last thing we need are two injured fairies." Leshawna said as she saw what Duncan did.
"Yeah and that rock almost hit me." Harold added.
"Oh gee..." Courtney said as she moved a few rocks and rolled her eyes as the boys argued.
"Just be glad I wasn't aiming for you dweeb." Duncan told him.
"Grr..." Harold said through his teeth in anger.
"Hey could we focus here and save Trent please?" Gwen asked them not wanting a fight to go down. She was all to worried about Trent to be worrying about a fight go down now.
Leshawna and DJ agreed with her and told Duncan and Harold to put their fighting aside or at least on hold until they got back their Prince. Suddenly, Sierra and Cody flew up to them with eager looks on their faces.
"Guys we've got something over here." Sierra said pointing back behind her.
"Come on and hurry."
And so without hesitation the gang all hurried behind the two fairies to this hole in the ground. Gathering around it, everyone looked down it to see a figure of some sorts out cold on the dirt ground. They couldn't really make out who it was but it did look a little like Trent. Gwen said that it was Trent for she knew what he looked like and could feel that it was him in her heart.
So then if that was Trent who was out cold, how were they going to get him out of there you ask? Well digging would only lead to another tunnel collapse and Trent would be gone for good. Though although since the hole wasn't big enough for a person to fit through they couldn't climb into it and get him either. However when there's a will there's a way to save someone.
For a fairy to save another fairy they would use one of two ways to do the job and get it done.
One way is to either use fairy dust and just float their injured friend towards them or the other way is that the fairy fly to their injured friend and carry them out. In this case it was going to be a little of both to get Trent out of there; and they might want to hurry before something happened and so without wasting anymore time, the boys got straight to work.
Using their fairy magic they carefully sprinkled just the right amount on their friend making sure he didn't get out to fast or to slow. Right there in the middle was just now as for getting him through the hole was another challenge.
"How are we going to get him out of there if he can't even get through this hole in the ground right here?" Leshawna asked the gang.
"We could try to dig around it and see if we could widen the hole a bit?" Harold suggested.
"We might need some animal help to do that?" DJ said to him.
"Oh, oh I can find a groundhog and he can help us! Luckily I took 3 years of taking groundhog language." Sierra said before calling out in another direction in an animal language which caught the attention of a few groundhogs.
"She's got some crazy skills." Cody told Gwen who was looking at Sierra with an eyebrow raised up.
The groundhogs scurried over to everyone and listened as Sierra explained the situation to them. They understood every word from her and then got straight to work on the hole in the ground for Trent's sake and safety. Gwen was still very worried so DJ and Leshawna offered her comfort while the others watched the groundhogs carefully.
"Careful you guys we don't want him to get barred like acorns. Although acorns are pretty tasty and they're especially good with berries and honey on them. Mmm...Sweet, sweet delicious acorns." Owen said until he began to drool from the thought of food.
"Oh brother...Now we've got Big Bird drooling above us." Duncan complained as saliva from Owen's mouth/beak came falling down.
"Ew gross!" Courtney said as drool landed on her head.
"Could someone please tell Owen to stop dreaming of food before I get soaked?"
"Hang on honey, hey Owen snap out of it!" Leshawna cried out to him.
"Hey not so loud you guys, the groundhogs need to concentrate and not be scared off." Sierra told them as she rubbed the groundhogs backs as they shook a bit in fear from all the yelling.
Eventually after some calming down, mumbling in disgust, more shaking, complaining and arguing and some more digging the groundhogs finally got Trent out of the hole and on the safety of the grass ground next to the dirt pile. Once he was out of danger the gang gathered around him to check him out. Gwen was the first who kneeled next to him checking him out.
She laid her head onto his chest to hear his heartbeat. Luckily he had one going, but it was a slow one like his breathing. Worried about him not waking up, Gwen decided she was going to try to wake him up. Therefore what better way to try to wake someone up then with the old Sleeping Beauty routine?
A.K.A a kiss on the lips from ones true love.
"Please let this work, and don't leave me." Gwen said to herself as she leaned to Trent's mouth and then gently kissed him on the lips.
When she pulled away nothing happened which made Gwen worry a bit; but then movement began to take place and Trent was waking up.
"TRENT!" Everyone cried out scaring the groundhogs away before anyone could blink.
"Ow...Aw man my head. Ugh I feel like I was hit with an avalanche." Trent complained rubbing his head.
"You have no idea, so how do you feel?" Gwen asked.
"Other then my head hurting, I think I'm okay thank you." Trent replied.
Gwen hugged Trent happily for she was glad he was safe and out of harms way. The hug lasted for a few seconds before the pair pulled apart and stared into each other's eyes. It was like one of those romantic moments in a movie where the couple is drawn into a kiss while the sweet and powerful music played in the back during it.
As romantic as that may seem, that didn't actually happen to this pair. However, something even better happened that makes it all the more worth wild now. And that is...
"Gwen..." Trent began fixing himself a bit and getting down on one knee surprising everyone including Gwen. He took her hand and looked up into her eyes filled with true love and happiness.
"From the moment we first met I knew I wanted to be with you until the end of time. You are my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You're strong, brave, beautiful, caring and just great. Aw who am I kidding you're everything that I wanted in a girl and I don't ever want to lose you again. Will you do me the pleasure of becoming my princess and wife?"
Gwen was speechless and shocked by Trent's speech.
Tears slowly made their way from her eyes and a bright pink blush came on her face.
"You, you mean it Trent?" Gwen asked him.
"I mean every word from the heart Gwen. You are my soul mate, my friend, my lover. Please say you'll be my princess of the fairies." He replied.
"Well come on girl say yes to him." Leshawna told her happily giving Gwen a little push with a smile on her face.
"*sniffles.* Oh this is so beautiful!" Owen cried out crying a bit.
True Gwen loved Trent so much and couldn't live without him.
He meant so much to her as he did to her, and thus she couldn't refuse his proposal.
So with a smile and a nod...
"Yes...Yes I will marry you." She said to Trent making him jump up, scoop her into his arms and spin her around in happiness.
Every fairy and animal (that was around) clapped and made noises for the new couple with joy. For the Prince had finally found true love and the two were once again together and made as one.
~Epilouge~
The wedding took place in Gwen's backyard at her own home. Yes that's right folks, thanks to the great power of fairies, they had located Gwen's home and brought her back to her mother. Let me tell you, the reunion was a heart filling moment filled with many hours of crying and story telling. They talked all through the night up in to the break of dawn the next day.
Hot coco and cookies were put out as they talked that night. Even Trent and his friends stayed over to listen to Gwen's stories and how she survived it all. It was really impressive what she had to say as time seemed to just fly by like that. Like nothing else mattered and only the sound of a roaring fire, sipping of coco, chewing of a cookie and Gwen talking filled the air.
When Gwen told her mother that she was getting married her mother almost passed out from shock. It was a good shock of course for she not only had her baby girl back, but she was going to have a son-in-law as well.
What more could a mother ask for?
And so the wedding took place right in their own backyard with freshly planted flowers and decorations all around. The fairies and animals gathered all around the yard in celebration of the Fairy Prince getting married to his one true love. Blue skies above them and a cool breeze blowing as flowers were in bloom and green had returned to the land.
They were beautiful outfits and Gwen even got herself her own pair of fairy wings. So that she could fly with the fairies all over the land. Gwen's mother and Trent's parent's couldn't be happier for their children. For now that they had someone who loved them very much by their side, things were finally looking up for everyone.
"Are you happy now my princess?"
"Yes my love, now more then ever."
With the vows said and the rings exchanged, the couple walked down the aile towards the butterfly carriage. Except out of nowhere Buzzy (who was all healed and flying again.) swooped down and got the pair on his back. This surprised everyone, but they were happy none the less.
With a full moon in the sky and the new married couple flying off on Buzzy, they shared their first kiss as they took off into the moon.
And they all lived happily ever after.
