The sun has finally risen. The birds, pigs and eagles have already finished packing, the cruise ship is refueled, and everything ready. It's time to get out of Magic Island once for all. They all don't want to go home, but they can't stay here.
When Silver, Courtney and Glenn were checking the list of everyone aboard, Aggie helped out Leslie to pack his things in a suitcase, and guided him into the cruise ship. But then, Laird tried to pull back the suitcase.
"Oh no, no, no! You can't take Mr. Leslie with you! As Oriana's wish, she wanted him to take her place and take over Magic Island," the palmetrodon stated
"Laird, I know Magic Island has been my home, but I don't belong here," Leslie said glancing at his sister and their friends who were already on the cruise ship, "I belong to the human world, my family's home world. And I want to spend my fun time with big sister and her friends. I have great time, even though I was under a sleeping poison spell."
"Mr. Leslie, you can't escape your destiny! If you're gone, what am I going to do? Who will take care all of my fellow critters? Who will run the town? The whole island?" Laird reminded, even pointing the other different critters.
"You know, like what you and Leslie told us, Oriana did say that Magic Island needs a leader, and Leslie wasn't one yet!" Aggie made a point, "So, he still has a choice to make, and he chose to leave instead."
"Plus, what else are you going to do without him? Of course, if you want him to stay, you should take care of him until he grows up, which takes a veeeeeerryyyyyy long time for him to grow, and he will boss you for the rest of your life," Zeta added as she was a leader herself.
"Wait a minute! So, you're saying if Leslie's coming with you, I'll stay here… all alone… with my fellow critters… without a human boy bossing me around?" Laird's eyes opened as he realized that without Leslie, there will be no one to make fun or boss him around since his young boss was a child after all, "I'm free! I'M FREEEEE!" the palmetrodon crawled happily in circles as he was free from "slavery" from a human boy, and lifted Leslie's tool box, and threw it, "Here, don't forget this!" He threw the tool box as high as he can to reach the deck of the cruise, and hit Chuck on the head, which it didn't hurt a bit.
"Okay," Aggie turned around to escort Leslie into the ramp of the ship.
However, Leslie resisted to go because he still thought of his bet turtle, "Aggie, I cannot leave Mr. Oakley."
"I know how hard it is, Leslie, okay?" Aggie placed her wing on her brother's shoulder, "Maybe Mr. Oakley just wanted to be with his own kind. I'm so sorry, but we have to go."
Leslie looked at the direction of the forest to where he left Mr. Oakley as Aggie gave him a comfort hug. As they let go, Leslie took his suitcase and walked on the ramp. He stared at the forest one last time, and proceeded to aboard the ship.
Just then, he felt a flipper touching his ankle. Leslie looked down and saw Mr. Oakley following him.
"Mr. Oakley! You came back!" the boy dropped his suitcase and hugged his turtle.
"Aww. I guess Mr. Oakley couldn't live without you, either," Aggie chuckled.
"Nothing is stronger than the bond between a boy and his turtle," Leslie said happily.
"I wonder what happened with him and his little ocean siren."
"He must have kissed it and subsequently dissed it!"
"All right. I'll get him. Go!" As Leslie took his suitcase, and ran into the cruise ship, Aggie bent down to talk to the turtle, "So, you already got tired of the old ball and chain, huh?" the turtle didn't answer as Aggie took that as a yes, "Yeah. Just like every man I ever dated. Cold-blooded. Come on," She picked up the turtle and climbed aboard.
When Aggie made it on deck, she looked around to make sure if no one left behind, "Is that everyone?"
"Si, I guess," Glenn replied
"I already counted the pigs and their piglets," Courtney looked at her list
"I guess we're all here," Silver clarified.
"Good," Aggie nodded, but when Glenn and Courtney left to double-check their fellow eagles and pigs, the sparrow glared sharply at Silver, "I trust you for this, and it's not gonna be my fault if someone else might left behind."
When she turned her back on her, Silver already understood that Aggie is still mad at her for the same reasons: breaking Red and Aggie's chance of love, and making Aggie think she was nothing anymore when Silver did all the work and was smarter than her. Silver didn't hold any grudge on Aggie now that she confessed everything, and since it was Silver's fault. She just to let it slide for Aggie.
"So, does this means if we leave now, we won't have our magic powers anymore?" Isla the piglet frowned
"Guess so. Leslie got his powers when he got lost here in Magic Island, and since he stayed here for 8 years, it took him long enough to have permanent powers. And we can't stay here for too long. We don't feel like home here," Aggie announced, "Well, say goodbye to your powers, everyone."
"Oh man, but I like my new powers. They're awesome in a way," Alex said, using his power of controlling paint rollers with different colors.
"Well, we still have magic because we owned one of the Elements of Friendship," Chuck showed the element shard on his I Team ID, "But this new magic power is so cool. I feel like faster than myself," He ran as a portal open and sent him at the back of the ship.
"I don't need to blow up myself just to blow up. All I do was throwing food and they blow up," Bomb threw a muffin into the ocean as it exploded before it could hit the water.
"I can cook with ze food with a snap of mon fingers," the chef pig demonstrated by snapping his finger, and the frozen fish became freshly cooked fried fish.
"Even the Mime likes his magic powers," The Early Bird's wife pointed the mime.
Mime Bird did his stunt like thinking there was a wall in front of him, but when a bird was passing through, he bumped into a wall that Mime Bird touched. Everything what the Mime Bird thought was invisible was a real thing, literally.
"Anyhow, I also like mine," With a wave of his hoof, Garry summoned his droned flying above him.
"Uh, you're more like a gadget guy, Garry. You're not into magic," Aggie reminded
"I know…, but I like them now," the gadgetry pig tried to defend himself
"Stop trying to cheer me up. I get it. I respect what you like, you respect mine. And I didn't bottled up my emotions this time. I mean it," the sparrow admitted. She also knew that scientists and nerds such as Garry, Silver, Glenn, Zeta and other scientists weren't into magic and never believed on it. It was hurt for Aggie, but she respected anyone for those who did or didn't believe in magic.
"I believe you," Glenn said, "I read your mind. Gosh, I want to keep this mind-reading magic powers."
Seeing everyone feeling down that they are going to lose their new magical powers, Aggie felt pity for them. She doesn't want them to be sad as she thought of something to help them, "Let's see what I can do when we get out of here. But, like it said in the book of spells, my magic can't give anyone permanent magic powers. It's not like that way."
"We understand. I got your book of spells right here…, and your staff," Red lifted the wand staff and Aggie's bag that contained the book of spells.
"That's your book and staff now," Aggie reminded Red that she gave up her staff to him, and now, Red owned both the staff and the spell book, "Oh well, we're off, set sail back to Bird Island."
As Aggie started the cruise ship, she said it away from the beach of Magic Island.
When the ship was already far away from Magic Island, the birds, pigs and eagles felt that their magic disappeared. Even their wings and hooves lost the sparkles of their magic.
To test if his magic power disappeared, at the back of the ship, Chuck made a run to see if there's a portal ahead of him, but there was no portal as he made back in front by foot this time.
"Oh bummer!" He groaned.
"Aaaaawwww!" Everyone cried frustratingly.
Leslie was the only ones who have magic from Magic Island, while Aggie already has magic, Red has his own via wand staff, and his teammates within the I Team, Chuck, Bomb, Matilda, Terence, Stella, Hal, Bubbles, Ruby, Roy, Rebecca, Zoe and the Blues, have their own magic, but nothing compare with Magic Island's magic.
"it's fun while it lasted," Silver said.
At the railing of the cruise ship, Leslie looked back at Magic Island as he waved at it goodbye, "Goodbye, Laird! Goodbye everyone! I'm gonna miss you! Thanks for everything!" He yelled.
"Goodbye, ol' boy! I will always remember our moments together…" Laird sniffed, but he wasn't crying at all! He's happy that he's free from that crazy boy, and her sister and friends, "Not! Haha!" He laughed as he looked back at his fellow critters, "Now, since Mr. Leslie's gone, that means I'm in-charge. So, as your leader…" But then, as unexpected, the critter charged at Laird since his their new leader now, they have lot of demands and answers, "Oh boy!" the palmetrodon panicked.
As Magic Island was completely out of their sight, the cruise ship was in the middle of the ocean. Around them was nothing but water, and day was so clear with less and the blue sky was so visible.
Red gave himself a glass of punch to drink, "Ah, good cold punch, having everyone in all three islands in a huge cruise ship for three hours, it'd be kinda nice."
"Yeah. I agree with you there, Red," Leonard agreed as he sipped his own punch.
"How about you, Aggie?" Red turned to the captain of the ship, "Any thoughts on being totally, completely reunited with all of your friends in this world, and turned back to normal?"
Despite that Aggie still operated the ship, she can listen and answer someone's question, "Nope, I'm good," she answered in an non-happy tone.
Red recognized that tone as he knew that his ex-girlfriend wasn't as exciting as she was before, "Okay, I can see something's wrong. What's up?"
"I said I'm good," Aggie turned her head to him, still frowning, "So, you guys just go ahead and relax. While me, sailing this cruise ship back to your islands."
But then, Red refused to followed her orders, "I'm not gonna keep relaxing here, dude. Neither are the rest of us. You're clearly upset."
"I'm not upset!" the sparrow shouted.
"You kinda said that like you're upset," Courtney pointed.
"Why would I be upset? 'Cause my supposed best friend-slash-ex-boyfriend left me so he could be with some random bird lady he barely knows? I mean, I'm just spit-balling. I'm just playing along. 'Cause, like I said, I'm not upset!" the sparrow shouted even more.
"Stop yelling!" Shirley the old bird shouted behind the crowd.
"Aggie, in case you forgot, I'm also the one who literally died to bring you back to good!" Red reminded
"Yeah, and the rest of us confessed our mistakes, even making things right for the two of you," Chuck added.
"True, and I really appreciate what you guys did," Aggie said, "but I'm still kind of upset about what happened, okay?"
"No, it's not 'okay'," Zeta snapped as she passed through the crowd to reach behind her niece, "Get over it! Appreciate our hard sacrifice, you stubborn little brat!"
"I can still hear you! Shut up!" Shirley yelled loudly.
"I gave up so much for you, too, you know!" Silver intervened, "I gave up… I gave up a lot."
"Aggie, I'm really sorry, okay? I am begging you to forgive me," Red begged as he placed his wing on Aggie's shoulder.
"Okay," Aggie smiled.
Everyone was surprised that Aggie suddenly forgave them in a second
"Oh. Okay, then," Red sighed in relief, "I'm glad that's over with."
"Oh, it's not over," Aggie glared at him.
"Well, this is a little awkward," Leslie chuckled embarrassingly, "I should go to find a room for myself and Mr. Oakley here." He pulled the leash to make Mr. Oakley followed him.
The rest of the crowd agreed since the cruise ship was rebuilt into bigger and better with new rooms and all. But Red was left behind as he looked back at Aggie, which she didn't turn around to him and stayed focus on operating the ship. A minute later, Red left the captain to do her thing while he tried to find himself a room to sleep.
When Aggie and all residents of the three islands took a journey to Magic Island, they made it there so fast because the storm blew them all the way there in a day or half-day. But travelling back to Bird Island the hard and old-school way might take longer than a day.
It's noon as Aggie has been stirring and operating the cruise ship all day without resting. Everyone slept the whole morning, except for her. She didn't even join her friends and his brother for lunch. She just ate some light snacks and a bottle of water, but good thing that Debbie was generous of making her punch with a small umbrella on it. Aggie at first hesitated, until Debbie made her drink the punch. Aggie was getting tired of stirring the wheel all day while her friends were relaxing on their relaxing chairs, the young ones were playing, and some of the birds, pigs and eagles were talking and laughing. Looks like they were having a good time after… what happened back in Magic Island. That was the worst thing they had experience ever. But now, this trip back home kept them away from trouble and trauma. But for Aggie, she never took that memory off of her head
it's almost sunset, and everybody went to their rooms to get some rest. They don't want to stay out in the dark because it's cold. Everyone left the deck except Aggie. She still operated the ship, but she can't stick her wings on the wheel until they go back, so she magically put the cruise ship into autopilot, and left the wheelhouse to rest.
She's been stirring the wheel the whole day while thinking the disaster back in Magic Island. Her wings are tired and there was still blood stains on them, except they were less visible than before. As she walked away from the wheel house, she found a bench near the railing, and sat down to rest. She removed her captain hat to make the wind cool her head.
Aggie thought she was alone on the deck. But she wasn't.
"Aggie?"
Aggie turned to Red beside her. Instead of saying hello to him, she just kept quiet and looked away.
Red knew she was still in this state again. The same guilt and sadness she felt since back in Magic Island. He didn't hesitate to sat beside her, but Aggie scooted away a little bit.
"What are you doing here, Red! Weren't you suppose to go to bed?" she asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I'm not tired," the red bird replied, "I don't feel tired, because… I can't stop thinking… about you."
Aggie already knew that Red is still concern about her, even though she has no problem of keeping a secret anymore, "I'm fine, Red. Just leave me alone."
"You're not okay. I know you're not okay, Aggie! I know you!" Red snapped a bit.
"Great! Great that you know me… already! But don't you know me before this happens?! Way back then?!" Aggie's quietness turned into a loud anger.
"Aggie, please, I know you finally let your anger out now that you don't need to keep secrets anymore, but don't get us into a fight like this," Red pleaded, "Aggie, I have always known you for too long. I've always known how you've been feeling."
"Then, why didn't you think there's something wrong when we're on our mission back kn Eagle Island, or before I turned evil back in Magic Island?!"
"You got it all wrong. I've always known something's wrong with you…, ever since I started seeing you glitching. I never told you because we have to stay focus on saving our island from being destroyed by your aunt!"
"Are you sure the island you've been focus on… or someone else besides our friends?!"
"Aggie, let's not discuss this…"
"OF COURSE I WANT TO DISCUSS THIS, BECAUSE THIS EXPERIENCE WAS UNFORGETTABLE!" Aggie stood up from the bend, and screamed, "Not only I turned evil, killed you, and tortured our friends and my new family, but also the feeling I never felt before when I see you with someone else!" Aggie's tears started to form in her eyes, and messed up her hair, "Is this how it feels, Red?! Is this how it feels when that one you love… just left you, and dated someone else other than you?"
Even though he didn't start to cry nor aware of his tears were connected to Aggie's, Red felt like crying, seeing how much one of his best friends got hurt so badly, emotionally, as he stood up too, "Aggie, we just had our first break-up. I know how it feels."
"Really?!" the sparrow has mixed feelings with anger and sadness, "You never saw me with someone else! You never saw me dated with someone else other than you! That's why you never feel this way! You never felt what I've been feeling this past few days! You never felt hurt around me! But me… seeing you… with someone else… with Silver?! And letting those teasers and mockers like Chuck and Zeta get into your head of having an idea of dating her?! It's like you have no idea what've been through when broke-up with you!"
"I do! I do know what you've been through, Agatha!"
"No you don't! It's not what you heard or thought! You don't know me so much at all! Do you, Red?! I didn't just break-up with you so I could save the universe from non-existence by Precious. You know what else? Because of you, too! To keep you safe! To give you a normal life! To keep you alive!"
"Uh, Silver already told me that."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HER NAME! OKAY?!" Aggie roared as she pulled her hair, "I've been sacrificing our relationship, because I want you to live! I want you to be alive and have a normal life! And you know what I get? NOTHING! All I get was a punishment from you or the universe for breaking up with you!"
"Aggie, don't say that!" Red stomped his talon hard, "That's not a punishment! Everything that happened was all an accident! We didn't mean to hurt you like this!"
"I never knew I would find someone to make me feel love. I never want to be in love with boy, until I met you. The day you asked me to be your girlfriend, it was the happiest day of my life! But now, I realized I was such a disappointment!"
"Aggie, no, you're not a disappointment! You were never been a disappointment to me! I know you think that way because when you broke up with me, you hurt me! But I realized you were doing right thing! I never regret of asking you to be my girlfriend that day! I don't care you're different! I don't care about your real responsibility! I don't mind that you have a magical heirloom to keep to make the universe a better place! If you could've told me how you felt all this time, about how you felt when Silver was around, when she was with me, when I'm with her, and when Chuck and Zeta talked about us, we could've talked about this!"
"There's nothing we can talk about this that time, Red! When we found my adoptive little brother, I saw the looks on your face when you think I accepted our break-up. Do you think I'm happy?! Well, I'm not! But you are! It's like you don't love me anymore, you admit it! You rather like someone who was very intelligent, and non-magical-who-wasn't-very-busy-of-trying-to-save-the-world kind of the girl!"
"THAT WAS NEVER TRUE, AGGIE! Do you think all this time I was happy because someone else than you made me feel love again? I wasn't at all! I wasn't happy when Chuck and Bomb forced me to find someone to love with! I wasn't completely happy when I started dating Silver! You know why?! BECAUSE MY LIFE WASN'T COMPETE WITHOUT YOU!"
Both Aggie and Red shed a lot of tears and cried a lot and so loud. It's like an endless cry, and their tears never ran out. They didn't flood the deck, but it's like they drowned into their own flood of tears and pain. They didn't anymore words anymore as they let out the sounds of their weeping and sobbing. If though their tears made their sigh blurry, they can't stop starring at each other in sadness.
As he wiped the tears from his face, Red continued to talk, "Aggie, just give me one more chance, and I could make things right for us."
"I already gave you a chance, remember? We're friends now," Aggie reminded.
"No. I meant, more than just friends," Red held both of her wings, "Aggie, I want things back to the way they were… before we broke up. I really really missed you. I missed hanging out with all the time! I missed being beside you all the way! I don't know what I would do without you! I… I can't live without you!"
"You can live without me, Red! Before I came here, you already can do everything without me!" the sparrow sniffed.
"Because I'd never thought I would find a friend who was sweet and caring like you, until you showed up to my life! I want you back, Aggie! Please, let's take those good times back! I want to do good things with you again. Please. So we could forget everything that happened between us!" the cardinal pleaded.
Aggie stared at Red's teary eyes as she teared up as well. She wanted to make things back to way the two were supposed to be too. Those time when they were still an item. She loved those times when she was with Red. But as she wanted to move on from this nightmare, she was afraid to get hurt by a loved one again. She doesn't to feel an emotional pain again as she felt that way before she has friends. As much she doesn't want her friend, she doesn't want herself to get hurt, too.
Aggie yanked her wings away from Red, "No! Red, I can't— I won't! I don't want to do this anymore!"
"But, Ags, I…" Red tried to explain, but Aggie cut him off.
"Red, I don't think it'll work out anymore. I don't feel like it anymore!" I don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore."
"I can wait for you! I can still wait!"
"No, you don't understand, Red! I-I can't be with you anymore. I just can't!" "I thought you're the one for me, but I don't think it would be you! The more I see you, the more I think about, and the more I heard anything about you, I… I don't feel like I used to feel for you. I only feel… pain… and guilt. I don't want to feel like this anymore, Red. I… I don't."
"Aggie, I would…"
"Red, please. I don't want this anymore! I just can't, okay?!" Aggie cried desperately, "I don't want to feel this way anymore! I think it's time we could stay as friends!"
"But, but…"
"I'm sorry, but… let's be just friends, just like our song."
Red remembered their favorite song "Just Friends" when they first became best friends. The lyrics made sense as their story now was related to the song.
"I'm sorry! Like I said before…, it's over! We're through!"
Aggie knew what she said hurt them both, but there's nothing more she can do make things right between her and Red. She wanted this to finish! She passed by Red as their shoulders bumped into each other as she went down to the lower deck to find herself a room to rest.
Red just stood there in disbelief. He couldn't believe this is happening. It really is over. Aggie doesn't want to be with him anymore because of the pain he caused to her. He felt the pain on his chest again. Not because of the same stab right into his chest, but metaphorically. He felt like he's been stabbed again, and his heart broke into two. He thought he still has a chance for Aggie, but… he doesn't think it will happen again. She's afraid of getting hurt again, and this time, she has to think about herself. She's been suffering enough. Red's also been suffering enough of feeling guilty for Aggie.
He can't help himself but feel guilty and hurt at the same time. He couldn't believe they have came into this. He thought that he and Aggie wouldn't come into this kind of a couple situation, but they already did. This is what they have feared when they were still together. Red returned to take a sit on the bench, and cried even more, covering his face with his wing. It really is over!
Unbeknownst to them, Silver has been watching them down the stairs where she was hiding. Aside of her special wide eyes, she can hear too, especially that Red and Aggie has a very loud argument. It's clear to hear their voices. She has never seen an argument between these two before. They were known to be a loyal and very close couple ever, but now, it's like the string that keep them together snapped, like her Super String when it fails to hold. For Silver, she didn't mean to break these two apart even further than before. Even in their break-up, they were very close as best friends, but now, they're not as close as they were supposed to be. Silver was very guilty than she felt back in Magic Island. She knew that Aggie's evil alter-ego doesn't exist anymore, but she still hated her, and still blamed her for taking Red away from Aggie. Aggie has been holding her anger and jealousy on Silver as she doesn't want to think that Silver was a stealer, but she couldn't hold that anymore. Until now, she still thought of her that way. Silver doesn't blame Aggie for what happened. It was all just an accidental disaster.
Silver went down the stairs, and met her brother sitting down on a bench near the stairs. Chuck also heard Red and Aggie's heated argument. He even heard that they mentioned his name.
"How was it, sis?" He asked.
"Not great. It's worst!" Silver sighed as she sat besides her brother, "I thought leaving Magic Island will fix things between those two, but… everything that happened is unforgettable."
"Don't forgot that everything what happened between them was also happened back in Bird Island and Eagle Island," Chuck reminded, "Things really are complicated after their break-up."
"Very. It was a disaster. I'm sorry that your best friends didn't tie the knot between them anymore. I just break them apart even more."
"it's also my fault, sis. Me and my big mouth. I wish I never those things to Red, even in front of Aggie."
"You did see them as a couple, right?"
"Of course I do. For 10 years. Since they met. I also respect their break-up. That's why I kept teasing Red of warning not to date you instead, which it actually happened."
But as Silver responded, she only raised an eyebrow and glared at him.
"That was a bad joke, isn't it?" Chuck guessed.
"Terrible, yeah," Silver agreed.
"I know. I guess I couldn't just say those thing when your two best friends are just into a broken relationship. I didn't mean to say all those words. I didn't mean to hurt Aggie. I didn't mean to give Red an idea, not just dating you, but breaking Aggie's heart. All my life for 10 years, my only job is to keep Aggie happy, but I failed. I made things even worse."
"That's what Red told me when we talked. And he was right. Aggie needs to be happy wherever she goes and whoever the friends she met because…, she lived in a miserable life back in her home world."
"I wish I can make thing right, too."
"Listen, Chuck," Silver held both her brother's wings, and looked at him, "It's not too late to make things right for your friends?"
"What do you mean by that? You heard what they said, they still can't get over about the disaster they've been through with each other! They didn't get over of me of what I said! They're still blaming me!"
"Uh, I think 1/16 of it, but you're one of their best friends. I'm sure you'll figure out to make things right for them."
"I hope so, sis. I hope so. So much for being a good friend and so-called overprotective brother that makes things worst for my two best friend."
As Chuck slouched in guilt, Silver patted him on the back.
From afar, Zeta has been listening as well, not just Red and Aggie's argument, but also Chuck and Silver's guilt conversation. Now the eagle herself is feeling guilty. She was once into a broken relationship, and now it was passed down to her adoptive niece. Hers is worst.
She went back inside with her room with her family, ready for the night.
"I can't believe Aggie still hasn't forgave any one of us that happened, especially when it's about her relationship with her ex-boyfriend," Zeta murmured.
"I know that girl longer than you think," Mighty Eagle replied, "Aggie might have been through difficult times, and she accepted apologies, but she's not easy to forgive, and she never forgets bad things. Trust me. I know her like that. And bad memories is part of life. They should be kept. Sorry, Aggie told me that. She's a very good teacher."
"Ggrrrrr! That girl is stubborn as Bernadette! Or Leo! I don't know where she gets that attitude!" Zeta groaned frustratingly.
"Have you tried your adoptive parents and siblings?" Debbie asked.
"I wasn't closer to your older uncles and aunts. Except for Encarnacion. She was warmed to me," the purple eagle said, "She was stubborn too, but not so extreme and emotional as Aggie. I guess that girl chose her own personality."
"Believe me, hun. If someone gets over to horrible things like this, it's your niece," Mighty Eagle hugged his wife.
"I know. I hope there's something I can do, since her family did everything for me before I ran away."
"Yeah, how and why did you run away with you have a good life with your human family?"
"It's, uh, it's complicated."
Meanwhile, Red entered his room in depression. He can't help but feeling hurt and guilty at the same time. He was guilty for hurting Aggie in an emotional way and ruined her happiness and life. He was also hurt that she doesn't want to be with him anymore, but remain as just friends.
He doesn't know whose fault it is. He knew it was all his fault, but Aggie blamed herself too since she's the one who broke up with him, but he never realized she was still in love with him. Red remembered how he first hurt Aggie when he was first in love with Ruby, and had two hatchlings with her. But now, this is too much! It's happening all over again.
Red looked at himself in the mirror, and recalled all those good memories he has with Aggie: the day they first met in Anger Management Class; the time she helped him covered the hole of his house that was made by the pigs with a giant bark; when they have similar favorite song, they both helped one another when they rescued the eggs; they danced under the light of the Red Moon; when they partnered up on planning parties for hatchling's hatchdays; when they became an item and had their first kiss, the time when Red convinced Aggie to show her true colors; the time they made a fake wedding as their project; and all the good time they had when they fought together to fight crime in any worlds with the I Team.
But as he kept staring at himself while remembering the good memories, Red then remembered the bad times: He ignored her when he started hanging out with Ruby; he broke her heart when she almost marry Ruby; Aggie felt sad for revealing herself as a human; she died for using the Last Spell to give up her life for him and the whole I Team; he ignored her again and hanged out with Silver instead; Aggie turned evil and discussed everything why she was so angry and hated all birds, pigs and eagles, including Red; she stabbed him through his heart as he bled; they both talk as she doesn't want to be in a relationship with hi for a while; and lastly, they both argued about their situation, and Aggie decided to not take him back again.
Red was hurt a lot for all of this. Either because he blamed himself for hurting Aggie or all over again, or because she hurt him too. He can't even look at himself anymore as he punched the mirror with his fist as it shattered into pieces. When the mirror shards hit the floor, Red pulled his fist from the mirror as he saw his wing bled. This isn't the first time he saw this. He had done this first before when he first hurt Aggie, and now, he did it again. He deserved this kind of pain. Although his bleeding wing reminded him when Aggie stabbed him into his heart and bled, he doesn't care anymore as he let the blood dropped from the tip of finger, sat down on his bed, and cried. He already missed Aggie so much. He missed being her boyfriend. He missed being beside her all the time. He missed all the fun he had with her. Good times. But he may not get them all anymore! It's all over!
Meanwhile, Aggie somehow found herself a room, and stayed there to rest. When she sat on her bed, she behaved and did nothing for a while, feeling a little happy that she finally confessed to Red how she was feeling for the whole time, until…
The sparrow burst into tears as her tears became a fountain. Aggie cried as hard and loud as she can when she realized her heart is turning blue and full of sadness. She doesn't want to tell Red all those thing, to be honest, but she has no choice. If she ended up with Red again, she'll end up getting herself hurt again! Or even him or even everyone she knows! She can't let that happen again! Being in a relationship made things worst, even her own life. Since Aggie experience what a relationship is all about, even the breaking-up part and being betrayed, she swore she doesn't want to be in love again.
But then, she still felt that she's still in love with Red, because she was been his girlfriend and best friend for so long, their bond was very strong, she can't resist the feeling. If she could try to distract herself from it, it'll go away.
While thinking about her complicated feelings for Red, Aggie still thought about the rest of her old and new friends. They tortured them really bad, but she did apologize to them. Some already forgave her, but some didn't. She knew she had gone too far because of anger, jealousy and hatred towards them. She even tortured the innocent ones, like the hatchlings, piglets, eaglets and her own little adoptive brother, who all have no idea what was going, what was happening, and what she was feeling after her break-up with Red. She knew she would've told them the truth, but… she doesn't want to ruin their happy moment. They'll think she's so selfish enough to think about herself than her friends. But they were right about one thing. She is selfish. Selfish that she kept everything to herself from her own friends. They would've also thought she doesn't trust them for a bit.
For 10 years in Bird Island, Aggie was known to be a happy-go-lucky, friendliest, and a party girl bird ever with the biggest heart of all. But because of what happened back in Magic Island and confessed everything, her reputation was ruined, and some of them don't trust her anymore. This is the worst… of everything!
Aggie: For all my life, all I've wanted to do
Was make my friends want to smile true
But maybe I was wrong
And Agatha shouldn't come here at all
I'll try to get up on my feet
And try a different task
I'll find something new to do
There's gotta be more to me than making a friend smile or two
I put away my party cannon,
I deflated all my balloons
The bubbles all burst, now what is next for you?
For you...
When Aggie checked out her backpack, she noticed there was another book in this bag. It's not her book of spells, but a book of memories that birds, pigs and eagles made with just crayons when she went missing back in Magic Island before she turned evil. She can tell when Aggie opened the book, and saw an image of her turning into a bird for the first time with Bomb's feather, and Bomb was beside her.
"Oh, I remember this one: the first time I came to Bird Island where I met Bomb, and let me copy his DNA so I can be a bird."
Then, the next page showed how she and Red first met.
"And that's when I met Red in Anger Management Class. He didn't even expect us to be good friends already," Aggie giggled, and then, the next page showed Aggie hosting the Blues' hatchday, "Oh, look at the cute blue triplets! They just look so excited for their first hatchday party!"
And then, she flipped the page to see the drawing of Terence and Matilda's wedding day with Aggie holding a boombox.
"Terence and Matilda's wedding sure was special, Especially once i got a hold of the music."
Aggie: Oh, look at those happy faces
All the parties that I had thrown
I made them laugh, had such a blast
A smile that's all their own
They loved seeing me, the real Aggie
Show them the time of their life like they've never known
Like they've never kno-o-own
I've got to get back out there, have to show them my true agenda
For there's only one great party girl - that is Agatha
Won't let these negativities beat me, won't let them get me down
For I am Aggie, the bestest party girl around!
I don't want put notes anymore. Pls review.
