The portal opened back in the human world and they all came back, all back to normal, even with Patch was a puppy. Even though they were all back to normal and back to where they belonged, Atticus was sad that they had to leave, especially since Twilight was like a third sister he never had.

"I sure am going to miss the girls, but it's great to be back home." Patch said.

"Yeah." Atticus said sadly, already missing Twilight.

"It's okay... We still have each other..." Mo smiled to her boyfriend.

Cherry already walked off, probably exhausted about her adventure and ready to kick back. Forte watched her go, she was growing up so fast, she may not have aged anymore, but she was an adult now. He reached into his pocket and took out a tiny black box.

Patch sniffed the box, wondering what it was. "What's this, Forte?" he asked, not knowing what was inside it.

"Just a little token of my affection..." Forte held the box close between his hands.

"You've fallen in love with Cherry, haven't you?" Mo asked, being a girl, she knew these kinds of things.

"Well... Yes, I suppose I have..." Forte hid the box back in his pocket.

"Queen Chrysalis and Princess Circe said that you probably had..." Atticus said then. "Why don't you ask her to marry you?"

"I don't know if she would be interested..." Forte said as he watched the girl go. "I may have known her for about ten years now, but I don't know about her sometimes... I saved her life on her 19th birthday, she was so sweet and innocent as a child, she's a little lost and lonesome... We seem to both have a lot in common when it comes to death and love..."

"Wow." Patch said.

"Go to her, the worst she can say is no." Mo encouraged him.

Forte sighed, Cherry was now out of school and about to enter the cold, cruel world of adulthood. He should at least look after her or at least help in someway. He then followed after her, he also kept a dagger in his pocket in case of rejection.


Cherry walked along and felt him behind her and looked to see he was there. "Can I help you?" she asked, a little angstly.

"I just wanted to ask you something... Ummm..." Forte shuffled his feet. "We've known each other for a long time now, you're not seeing anybody... I'm not seeing anybody... Maybe you and I could..."

"OUT WITH IT!" Cherry got impatient. "I don't have all day, ya know!?"

"Will you..." Forte took out the box, showing the silver skull top engagement ring with dooming black eyes, he muttered the last bit.

"What did you say?" Cherry whispered as she looked to the ring in surprise.

"Will you marry me?" Forte asked, hoping that she would say yes.

Cherry had a very shocked expression, she didn't even seem dull this time.

"I know it doesn't seem like me... But you've driven me crazy since the day we first met," Forte looked sharply at her. "I know how cliche it sounds, but you make me a better person and you remind me sometimes of who I once was..." he then took out his blade and held it close to her neck.

Cherry actually thought it over as he didn't actually hurt her, but he would if she wouldn't answer in time. "We've been through a lot, haven't we?" she glanced back at him. "Even when you tried to kill everybody for wanting Belle and the beast to get together?"

"I didn't want to hurt you though... That's why I tried to get you off the floor before Fife reminded the Master about my keyboard..." Forte said as he withdrew his dagger for now. "You were the only one who came back for me..."

"I said sorry and wished you luck about your life, but you were knocked out..."

"I heard you though... I won't hurt you again... For as long as you forever live... But just know that I can't live without you..."

Cherry hummed, wasting time and he was just about to strike her down as she took out a cigarette and finally said, "I do."


"Yes! She just said I do." Patch whispered to Atticus and Mo while he was eavesdropping.

Atticus and Mo smiled to each other, surprised it turned out very well.


"You mean it, Cerise?" Forte asked, taking her hands.

"You're the father of my son already... Why not?" Cherry asked. She then texted her mother.

"'Need two plane tickets to Paris, France'," Forte read her text from her phone screen. "Why do you need two tickets to Paris?"

Cherry glanced up at him like he was an idiot. "Our ceremony and honeymoon."

"Ohh." Forte said, blushing.

"Alright, come out." Cherry called.

Patch, Atticus, and Mo cmae out from their hiding places.

"So, umm... What's up?" Patch asked.

"Don't play dumb." Cherry glanced at them, knowing they were there as she now wore her new engagement ring.

Forte was surprised how well this turned out and wondered what their wedding would be like. But that was a story for another day.

The End
