AN: sry that this took so long. I had lots of work to do in my school now. But try to continue while I can. Enjoy.


In morning Dai Lin woke up in Jade's room. She was in white nightdress, since her clothes were in dirt and torn badly. She fined Ron near her. She tired to get out of bed until door open and she went back inside the bed. Jade came to look Dai Lin.

"Hey, are you okay?" asked Jade. Dai Lin nodded for answer. Then Ron started to wake up.

"Good morning everyone."

"Ron, I don't want to be rude, but is she mute?" asked Jade.

"Mute, of course not. … Why?"

"She hasn't said any word once she got here."

"I didn't notice that. In fact she hasn't said anything after yesterday's accident." said Ron.

"You think that…" said Jade before Drago came.

"Hey, what going on?"

"Nothing." said Jade.

"How is little one then?"

"I'm fine." said Ron.

"I meant girl."

"Oh."

"She's fine. I guess." Then Dai Lin stomach made some noise.

"I guess she is hungry." said Drago.

"I think so too. Would come with us to breakfast?" asked Jade. Dai Lin nodded and get out of bed.

In the way to dinning hall Dai Lin walk holding Jade's hand. Jade thought that what happened in ruins has made Dai Lin to mute. After all cording to Ron they lost their friends who mid be death now. She really hoped she could do something for Dai Lin. Once they got to dinning hall Jade asked what would Dai Lin wanted to breakfast, but she didn't said anything.

"Is she always like that?" asked Drago.

"Of course not." said Ron.

"Look kid, you have to say something, so we what you want to eat." said Drago to Dai Lin. Dai Lin look sadly away and bite her fingers.

"Aha. That means she wants something sweet." said Ron.

"How you know that?" asked Drago.

"When she was little, she never talked much so, her parents understand her by her hands. When she bites her fingers she wants something sweet and when lick them she wants tasty and salty."

"Sweet... do you like pancakes?" asked Jade. Dai Lin nodded for answer.

"Okay then." said Jade leading Dai Lin to the kitchen. Once they got there Dai Lin started to look ingredients.

"You don't need to…"

"Let her. She sometimes wants do it, to not bother others." said Ron.

"Is there anything else she does?" asked Drago. Ron told some while Dai Lin already eggs, milk in bowl and started to look for flour. Once she found it top of shelf. She tried to reach it, but once she got it she was about to fall.

"LOOK OUT!!" yelled Jade and went catch her.

"Jade!" yelled Drago.

Once Jade catch Dai Lin, Drago got Jade. And flour fell on them that everyone got covered by flour.

"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO BLAME HER, BLAME ME! YOU CAN EVEN OFFER ME IN SLIVER PLATE WITH POTATO SHIPS AND GARLIC!" cried Ron to Drago.

"You don't need to say It." said Drago. Dai Lin looked down sadly.

"Maybe we all should take bath." said Jade kindly.


Soon they were taking the bath while Bai Tza made the breakfast. Dai Lin still hadn't say any word which made Jade worried about her. Meanwhile Dai Lin was washing herself Jade covered self with towel and went to talk to Drago.

"Drago."

"What?" he asked while drying his head with towel.

"It's about Dai Lin. She still hasn't said anything."

"And that worries you?"

"She is just girl. How can you know how she feels when all her family and friends are gone and been…?"

"Okay, okay. I got your point."

"The thing is I don't know what to do." said Jade and looked Dai Lin who was playing with bubbles. Drago looked at Jade. He could see her pity on Dai Lin. Well, no wonder, she lost everything. There is no way she can grow over it easily. It took time to him as well. He closed her in his arms holding her gently. Then soon Dai Lin came cover herself in huge towel. Drago went to pick her up and give it to Jade's arms.

"You looked cute when hold her." He said.

"What? A-are you…saying that…" asked Jade blushing.

"No. I not sure if I'm ready to become father yet." Jade look down by embarrassment of what she said. But then Drago kissed her forehead.

"But it doesn't mean she can't stay." Jade looked at Drago into his eyes. She realized what he meant with that. She smiled to him.

"You're sweet." Then she felt like Dai Lin was shaking.

"What's wrong, Dai Lin?" asked Jade while she look what was wrong. Dai Lin look at them tears in her eyes.

"I..'m so.." she tried to under her tears. Jade look at little girl. She just spoked.

"I'm sorry." she cried. Tears of happiness started fell on Jade's cheeks as well.

"Why you're apologizing to us? You haven't done anything wrong." said Drago.

"But..."

"No buts. Forget the past. You can live with much as you want." said Drago.

"Even Ron?"

"Even Ron. Seriously, how can you stand him?" asked Drago. Dai Lin started to laughed about that.

"Come here, you little..." said Drago and took Dai Lin to his arms. Jade giggled and went to him.

Form first time they saw Dai Lin's smile. It felt great. Drago was surprised how fast Dai Lin could smile again after what happened to her. It's probably because she don't felt herself lonely anymore. Come to think of it, ever since he and Jade had get long with each other, he had forget his worries as well.

"Excuse me, I don't want ruined all this emotional moment, but aren't we supposed to have breakfast. I'm hungry." asked Ron.


Soon in night Dai Lin was making something in her own room before Drago came in.

"Do you know how late is?"

"Sorry. I wanted to make something as wedding present for you two." said Dai Lin.

"You don't need...How you knew we're getting married?"

"Decoration."

"True. But you don't need to do that." said Drago.

"But I want to. I even made something to anniversaries of my parents."

"Look, you know that we are..."

"I know." said Dai Lin. Drago look at her surprised.

"But along I friends, there are my family too." she said and hugged him. Then Ron came sleepily.

"Can come to sleep here?" he asked with little pillow with him.

"That means you too." said Drago and carried Dai Lin to bed.

"But I want to finished this before your wedding."

"You got lots of time. But you also need to sleep." he said and put her in he bed.

"Can I have good night kiss?" she asked. Drago look while.

"Okay." he said and kissed her in forehead.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"And goodnight to Jay too."

"I'll say it. Just get some sleep will ya." he said and closed the door.

Dai Lin closed her eyes and got to sleep with smile.
