Chapter 11: Home At Last
(Diana's POV)
We arrived back in Crystal Tokyo, in the palace gardens. I don't know how I'm going to tell Brad about this curse. I can't imagine living the rest of my life as a cat. All the scouts de-transformed, and went into the palace. My Mom saw me and ran out and gave me a big kiss on the forehead.
"I'm so glad your okay honey!" Mom said embarrassing me completely.
"Well I'm not really okay..." I started, but she wasn't listening.
"Brad and I were so worried!" she gave me a hug.
"Where is Brad?" I asked.
"He's inside sleeping, but I don't think he would mind if you woke him." she said. "So is Crystal Kaguya defeated?"
"Yes" replied Rini.
"I hope she didn't have a daughter too." My mother joked.
"I doubt it Mom." I replied.
"Go inside and greet Brad and your father now, they can't wait to see you."
"I don't really want to." I said sadly.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Well Mom Kaguya kind of put a curse on me..."
"What!! What did she do to you!?" she asked.
"She said I am now forever a cat." I said sadly.
"I was wondering why you were as your cat self."
"I hate this curse," I said as I started to cry.
"Diana it's not that bad."
"Yes it is, think of all the stuff I can't do!"
"I'm sure Amy can help you..."
"Maybe."
"Well go to Amy after you say hi to your father and Brad."
"Okay..." I said sadly. Then I left to go inside.
I don't want Brad to know I might be a cat forever, he probably won't love me anymore. I went inside the palace and saw Dad.
"Oh Diana I'm so glad your okay. I missed you so much."
"I missed you too Dad." I said miserably.
"What's wrong Diana?" he questioned.
"I might forever be a cat..." I told him.
"What?! Have you talked to Brad yet!?"
"No..." I said.
"Go talk to him now." He instructed.
"Alright, is he sleeping?" I asked.
"No I don't think so."
I left, and headed toward Brad's room. I wonder why Dad wanted me to see Brad so bad? I hesitated then I scratched on his door.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It's me, Diana."
"Diana!! Come on in!" he said.
"I'm a cat and I can't open the door." I said trying to disguise me sadness.
"Okay I'll open it." He got up and he let me in his room.
"You look a lot better." I said hopping onto his bed so I didn't feel so small compared to him.
"I feel better too." he said, "I'm so glad you returned!"
He gave me hug.
"Diana can you turn into a human so I can kiss you?" he said shyly.
"Um...not really" I answered hesitantly.
He looked slightly hurt. "Please?"
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I can't."
"Why not Diana? Please tell me..."
"Well...Kaguya kind of..." I started.
"What did she do to you?!" he said angrily.
"She put a curse on me."
"What kind of curse?"
"She said I can never turn...into a...human again."
I told him the whole story. His face hurt me, I didn't really understand what emotions his face showed.
"You better see if Amy can help you now."
I nodded, then I left. I was right Brad probably wouldn't love me now. I remember the look on his face when I told him I might be a cat forever. I went to go see Amy for a little bit.

(Brad's POV)
How can I marry Diana now? If she doesn't turn back into a human, I can't marry her. What should I do? Life is going to be so different now. I decided to go talk to Artemis. I found him in the hallway.
"Have you talked to Diana yet?" I asked.
"Yes, and I heard about the curse." He replied.
"Can I marry her like that?"I asked.
"I was wondering that too." He said.
"What should I do?"
"Well you can't marry her like this."
"I know."
"Just wait Brad we'll figure someway to change her back."
"What should I do right now?" I asked.
"Just show her you still love her," he said.
"Okay."
********
(Diana's point of view)
I waited for Amy to return with the test results. Then she came in.
"Diana your completely healthy and I can't find anything wrong with you"
"So you can't help me, can you?"
She shook her head.
"I'm sorry..."
I left to go talk to Rini. I found her she was in her room.
"Hi Diana! Did Amy break the curse?"
"No..." I replied.
"It's okay Diana, in the past your parents also always had to be human."
"But this isn't the past." I said.
"Diana if you want me advice, it would be to just talk to Brad. His love for you might save you."
I didn't reply.
"Either that or just try transforming, a surge of power could get rid of the curse."
"Thanks Rini!" I said quickly, and then I ran out of her room before she could say anything. I ran toward my room to get my transformation pen. When I found it I couldn't pick it up. This won't work because I don't have any hands to pick it up. The bell on my collar softly chimed. Of course my bell, it was my crystal!
Mau Crystal POWER!
Soon I was transformed and I was a human again! I was so happy! I have to go talk to Brad. I didn't even de-transform I just ran at full speed toward Brad's room. I didn't see Mom in the hall and I crashed right into her, but she didn't care she was just so happy I was a human again. I ran into Brad's room without knocking. My Dad was in there with him.
"Diana your a human!!!!" Brad said.
"I know isn't it great?" I said.
"Yes, it's wonderful!" he said happily.
He took me in his arms he was about to give me a kiss but he stopped when he realized my Dad was there. He let go of me.
"That's great Diana!" Dad said. "I'll leave you two alone now". Then he left and closed the door behind him.
Now finally we were alone together. I de-transformed and then he took me into his arms once more. Then we shared a romantic kiss. I was extremely happy.
"Do you still love me?" I asked.
He looked kind of shocked at the question. "Of course I do! Why?"
"Well... I had one more guy who loved me awhile ago but he left Crystal Tokyo and me." I said sadly.
"Why?" Brad asked.
"I told him we had be friends..." I said sadly.
"Why did you tell him that?" he asked.
"Well I'm only allowed to have an arranged marriage by my father..." I admitted. I tried to prepare for his reply.
"I know." He said simply.
"Well... My birthday party is coming soon... and they're bringing some guy for me." I said.
"Well I didn't know that..."
"But Brad I love you too much, I'll won't leave you to marry him." I said.
Brad stared into my eyes for a little awhile, he didn't reply. Soon I left and went to my bedroom. After a short kiss goodbye.
