A/N: Here it is folks, the last chapter. Enjoy!

Title: Reigning Memories

Chapter: 18 - An end to all ends

Joe had been waiting for so long to settle the score with Scarl and in an instance it was all over.

Smoke surrounded the Scarl, a bloodlike liquid pouring from the gash that led through his stomach. Francoise ran to Joe immediately, snapping him out of his shock. They embraced each other for a moment. Emma sighed and thanked Athena for her kind help. The petite matchmakers cheered in jovial union. "We did it!" Carrie Ann shouted. Emma turned to see that Scarl had disappeared. "I am afraid not, Scarl ran from his death. We shall have to be more careful now; killing Scarl would not have to that easy. I should have known that, pardon me, I was foolish." Emma lowered her head in shame; after all she was supposed to be the elite witch, the best. "Don't think that of yourself Princess Emma, after all it was you whom helped us defeat Scarl." Commented Sir George. A slight blush formed itself on Emma's rosy cheeks and she responded, "Thank you, for your support."

Francoise and Joe made their way to the edge of the mountain, the view breathtaking. "Thank you for rescuing me Prince Joe." Francoise curtsied and smiled at Joe. Joe grinned and said, "So I guess I'm a prince now."

"Yes you are, welcome into the world of royalty." Francoise responded sarcastically while giggling. "Prince, Princess!" Both heard the voice of Emma calling them and so reluctantly they made their way back to the others. Emma cleared her throat and began to say in a serene voice, "I will send everyone to their homes now, only my brother and Francoise will be sent to her palace."

The petite matchmakers were sent all back to the village to tell their parents that they were going to live in the palace until they could build them new houses. They were all elated to do so, and tried not to cry when they said goodbye. They knew they would not see any of the others for a time.

June was trying to contain herself from crying because she knew this was the last time that she would ever see Jet. "Oh, June how would you like to be a lady in waiting for me?" Francoise asked, giving her a wink. A smile formed itself on June's face, "I'd love to, thanks." Francoise smiled knowing her affections for Jet.

"Any time that you need some help on your magic, just visit me at Condor Palace." Emma said while waving goodbye, a small tear forming in her eye. "I will, don't worry."

***** At Condor Palace *****

Emma twirled of happiness in her nightgown, prancing in her room. "This is great, Scarl wont come and threaten the kingdom for a while."  She smiled as she looked out the window. Her raven black hair hanging to her feet. She twirled once more, unaware of the pair of eyes that were watching her.

"Dancing are we?" Emma turned around to see Sir George watching her. She didn't flinch, instead she smiled and nodded. "The defeat of Scarl is good news, no?" Sir George nodded and made his way to the window.

"New beginnings are unfolding everywhere."

"It's true, I'm so happy for them, for all of them." Sir George nodded and put his arms around Emma. "Someday...." Emma nodded and they watched the skies.

******* Palace*******

"So where do we go from here?" Francoise asked Joe, sheepishly. They were now at her palace, in the garden in which they had met. The roses were now in full bloom and other flowers grew as well.

"This place it's beautiful." Francoise said, blushing at the same time. She picked up a strange and yet beautiful flower that Joe had never seen before. These are called, "Faiths". I wear a perfume that made from it. Legend says that if you smell the scent, you fall in love with whomevers wearing it."

"I already have..." Was the response of Joe, causing a silence.

Nothing stirred, nothing moved. It was as if time stopped along with them. "Francoise..."

"Yes..." Francoise said not meeting his eyes. "I need to ask you something."

"Yes, what is it?" Joe fidgeted for a moment and then kneeled down in front of her.

"Will you marry me?"

A/N: Finally! I'm finally done with this story.

*Fans chanting for a sequel

Sorry guys, my minds made up. There will be no sequel, but there is an epilogue and an author's note after this. Well now I'm going to concentrate on Dear Diary and My Swan Princess. Bye everyone!
