Henry's POV

I couldn't believe it. Tori was gone... How could this be?!

(Reala arrives with the jar of Ideya)

Reala: What happened?

Henry: Tori was killed by Wizeman. (Reala opens the jar, the visitors reclaim their Ideya)

Helen: Now what do we do?

NiGHTS: We have to figure out what to do with Dawn and Dusk, then give Tori a proper burial. We'll keep the true cause of her death a secret between us, and no one will ever know what really happened. (Henry sobs, his tears fall upon Tori's corpse)

Reala: I wish I knew how to comfort you, Henry.

Henry: Let's go. (they walk away, Henry notices a red light, he turns around to find Tori slowly rising with her feet glowing with red energy, the energy reaches to her knees and turns white) Guys, look! (they turn around and see Tori glowing with blue energy at the waist, the energy reaches her chest and turns green, then turns yellow after rising above her head, her eyes glow yellow, the others gasp in awe)

NiGHTS: Woah... (Tori releases a column of energy that expands outward, destroying the purple and black sky, turning it back to a sunset, she releases yellow energy in expanding rings until its gone, then faints)

Henry: Tori! (he runs over and catches her) Tori, are you awake? Say something! Anything! (she moans and opens her eyes)

Tori: Henry...?

Henry: Yes, it's me. (he sets her down then helps her up) Oh gosh, I was so scarred I was going to lose you and I... (he kisses her, after three seconds she kisses him back, they back away after seven more seconds) Victoria, I love you.

Tori: Henry... Normally, I'd never admit it, but, I've fallen for you as well. (Henry throws his arms around her)

Henry: Tori, I thought I lost you.

Tori: I love you Henry. You won't lose me. (she hugs him)

Henry: I've wanted to tell you how I felt since I first saw you again at Big Ben Junior High when I was in the 7th grade. (he pulls up a flashback of seeing her in her performance attire on the auditorium) I thought to myself, "If Tori was the princess of music, then I was just a peasant." I wanted to get to know you, but a little doubting voice in my head told me that you wouldn't want anything to do with me. (Tori chuckles)

Tori: If you had done just that, I would have seen you as just another love-struck fanboy. You're no fanboy, Henry. You're my best friend and you always will be. (she hugs him)

Reala/Elliot: Well, it's about time.

Henry(to Elliot): You knew?

Elliot: Yeah. I knew you wouldn't confess who your secret crush is, so I kinda peered into your mind. After seeing that you had fallen for the Ice Queen though, I don't think I can blame you for being quiet about it.

NiGHTS: You knew as well?

Reala: He told me about it while he was mopping the floors.

NiGHTS: Now what we will do about Dawn and Dusk?

Will: They're eventually going to escape their cages.

Reala: Why not have NiGHTS erase their memories? It would be easier than killing them.

NiGHTS: I would, but the last time I erased someone's memory, they didn't forget everything. If they did, things would be very different...

Reala: I have faith in you. And I think I may know why your spell failed. When your target found you about to leave, he ultimately confessed his love for you. You pretended to ignore him and because your emotions were mixed up and intentions unclear, the spell may not have taken its full effects.

Elliot: NiGHTS cast that spell on Reala?

NiGHTS: I had to. It was either that or kill him, and I couldn't bear to do the latter. (she sighs) Alright, you can do this. (cut to NiGHTS glowing with blue energy in both of her hands, she fires two balls, one at Dawn and Dusk's heads, destroying their memory of the spell, then Reala breaks the cages, and the visitors lull them to sleep with magic, Reala puts red ribbon ties, binding Dawn and Dusk in them, then burying them underground)

Reala: Alright, that should slowly destroy them over time. We won't have to worry about those two creeps ever again.

Voice: Well done, visitors. (they turn to find Owl)

Will: Owl?

Helen: It's great to see him, but how is he here? The portal was destroyed.

Owl: The one at the top of Big Ben was, but that's not the only portal. There are actually several portals linking this world to the Night Dimension. They usually appear at the top of famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal, and many others.

NiGHTS: Sadly, it is time for me and Reala to go. But we'll come back and visit when we can.

Helen: Goodbye NiGHTS.

We all said our goodbyes, but we knew that no matter how far away NiGHTS and Reala were, we would all be friends forever.

Epilogue

Reala's POV

October 7th, 2016. A week ago, me and NiGHTS received a mind message invitation to our friends wedding. We were excited for this. Things were going very well after Wizeman's defeat in the Otherworld. It turns out that Owl wasn't the only Dream-Owl left, and that there was a whole secret community of them somewhere outside the realm of Nightmare, yet also far from Nightopia.

(Reala, NiGHTS, Henry, Will, and Helen are all seen in fancy outfits)

Reala: Oh how the time flies by.

NiGHTS: I know right? It feels like only yesterday we defeated Wizeman and saved the world from his wrath.

Will: Where's Tori? (she walks in holding an infant in her arms)

Tori: Right here.

Reala: Aw, who's this adorable little tyke?

Tori: Her name is Vanessa Helena Dunbar.

Henry: She's our daughter.

NiGHTS: Aw she's so cute.

Tori: Thanks. You know, honestly speaking, even though me and Henry were the first couple to get married at the ages of 20 and 18 respectively, I was actually scared to have kids. I thought something would go wrong, and I was worried for the first three months of my pregnancy, but after a lot of reassurance from Henry and opening myself to a different view, my worry vanished.

Helen: How old is she again?

Tori: Three months. (Helen holds her hand to her forehead)

Reala: Are you alright?

Helen: I'm fine... (she faints, Will catches her)

Will: I thought the fainting spells were over.

Henry: It looks like you thought wrong. (Reala scratches his head as Will sets Helen into a chair)

NiGHTS(whispering): Fainting spells are one of the common pregnancy symptoms.

Reala: How did you know?

NiGHTS: They told me.

Reala: They don't tell me everything, do they?

Elliot: Not really. (he and Claris are seen in a wedding tuxedo and wedding dress respectively)

Reala: I thought the bride and groom didn't see each other before the wedding.

Claris: That's a very old superstition, Reala.

Reala: I have learned a lot, yet I still have a lot to learn, don't I? (NiGHTS chuckles)

NiGHTS: Yes, yes you do.

Later on, Helen awoke long before the ceremony started, and me, NiGHTS, Tori and Henry were on the left side of the church, while Helen and Will were on the right side, about to watch the wedding start.

(the music starts, Claris walks down the aisle, holding a bouquet of pink roses as she walks to the altar, when she reaches the altar, the music ends)

Priest: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, in the sight of God, to join this man, and his woman, in Holy Matrimony.

Okay, you probably already know this, but this is the day that Claris and Elliot are getting married. Ironically, even though they got into their romantic relationship before any of the other visitors did, they were the last couple to get married after nine years of dating. Talk about taking their time. Helen and Will got married only four months ago, and Henry and Tori married about three years ago. Anyway, back to the ceremony.

Priest: Do you, Elliot Edwards, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love, to care for, and forsake all others, as long as you both shall live?

Elliot: I will.

Priest: And do you, Claris Sinclair, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love, to care for, and forsake all others, as long as you both shall live?

Claris: I do.

Priest: Then by the power invested in me, and in the kingdom of England, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. (Elliot kisses Claris, the crowd claps and cheers)

The wedding reception was held at a hotel ballroom, and the room itself was huge. I danced with NiGHTS above the crowd of unsuspecting humans. No one knew that me and NiGHTS were there except for the visitors, and Henry's little brother Percy. There were a lot of people there, including Mikey, Rosa, Percy, Waldo, Julia and others.

Henry: Both of my brothers are still pains, but at least I can tolerate them.

NiGHTS: What ever happened to Waldo?

Henry: Eventually, my family learned that Tori's house had burned down, and Waldo felt guilty for his actions. They actually get along quite well now. Waldo is a math teacher at Clocktower High. Percy is 15, and he's become a Cassanova, as some call him.

Percy: Don't laugh, Henry, I actually found a date.

Will: Well what do ya know? Who's the lucky lady?

Percy: A girl named Diana Williams. She has an older brother named Edward.

Reala(to Tori): Wait, wasn't Edward one of the many guys you turned down?

Tori: Yes, yes he was. (Diana drags Percy away back onto the dance floor, the heroes chuckle)

Later on, I found NiGHTS on the rooftop of the hotel. The clock read five til midnight.

Reala: Long night, huh?

NiGHTS: I'd say so. Sometimes I still can't believe I've gotten this far. My partner became my enemy, then my boyfriend, and fought against Wizeman when he and his army invaded this world.

Reala: Believe it, because we've gone so far, and will go even farther.

NiGHTS: Huh? What do... (he drops down to one knee and pulls out a black box)

Reala: NiGHTS... (he opens the box, revealing a gold diamond ring) Will you marry me? (she gasps)

NiGHTS: Yes, Reala. Yes, I will! (he slides the ring onto her right ring finger, she kisses him)

As the clock stuck midnight, we had this moment, this peace, and it would never disappear. We knew that forevermore, the night was ours.
