Previously:

They all nodded their heads in unison. "Well, then let's go." Lorelei shook her horn, and a portal appeared. They jumped through, excited to see the newest unicorn generation again.

Now: The Unicorn Academy

Emily was greeted with squeals of delight and unicorns crowding her. He laughed and told them to step away please.

"Emily!" she heard a unicorn call. She looked over. It was Riannan. (Anyone know what color Riannan is? I don't think the book ever said.)

"Riannan!" she jogged over to the sparkling unicorn princess. "How are you?" Emily asked.

"Oh, I'm good! The Unicorn Academy is fantastic, and since we already had our horns tuned, school was sooo easy!" Riannan said excitedly. Emily smiled.

"I'm glad to hear that. Now, if you'd be a kind princess and escort me to Prince Pollo…?" Emily laughed as Riannan bowed her head deeply and said,

"Oh it would be my pleasure, dear mage!" Riannan let Emily wrap her arm around her neck, and together they walked over to Pollo. He turned to meet them.

"Hello Emily! It's great to see you again!" he said enthusiastically. Emily then noticed a hot pink unicorn with fiery green eyes next to him.

"It's great to see you too! Now, who's this?" She gestured to the unicorn. Riannan smirked.

"Oh, that's his girlfriend, Spice." Riannan apparently LOVED to tease him about this, as Pollo was now wearing a pained expression. Spice glared at Riannan. Emily just smiled.

She leaned closer to whisper to Pollo, "Good choice." He grinned and whispered thanks back. Emily stood up straight. "Well, Riannan," she looked over at the unicorn standing next to her, "when will YOU get a boyfriend? Surly, if Pollo can get himself a girlfriend, you should be able to get a boyfriend! No offense, Pollo," she said quickly, seeing Pollo's face. He grinned.

"Non taken. On the contrary," he started, looking straight at Riannan. Emily looked at her curiously. She had frozen up and seemed unable to move. Emily gestured for Pollo to continue, never once taking her eyes off of Riannan. Riannan's eyes opened with fear, silently begging Pollo to keep her secret. He merely smiled and continued. "Riannan here actually HAS a boyfriend." Riannan's head lowered in defeat.

Emily giggled. "Oh, and what is his name?" she asked. Pollo looked over her shoulder and yelled, "Hey, Zorro! Over here! There's someone who wants to meet you!"

Emily turned around to see a midnight black unicorn break off from his group and head over to them. When he reached them, he bowed his head respectably and politely and said, "Hello, I'm Zorro. It is nice to meet you Emily." Emily looked at him.

"How do you know my name?" she asked. Riannan had lifted her head when Zorro had come over and now stared at him lovingly. Then she turned to Emily.

"Emily! You're a living legend here at the Academy after you helped us tune our horns! How could he NOT know you?" she burst out.

Emily laughed. "I'm sorry. I didn't know I was famous!" She turned her attention to Zorro. "It's nice to meet you too! Pollo tells me you're going out with Riannan?"

Zorro stared at her proudly. "Yes. She is the best girlfriend a guy could have and I'm lucky to have her." Emily smiled as she turned to Riannan.

"You sure do know how to pick a guy when you see one!" she said appraisingly.

Riannan smiled. "You think so? Thank you Emily. Do you mind if I head off with Zorro now?" she asked.

"Of course not! You have fun! I have to be getting the others ready to head back. It was nice meeting you Zorro! Goodbye Pollo!" she called as she headed back to the portal.

"Bye!" they all yelled after her.

Soon, they were all ready to go home. "Goodbye, Lorelei. I'll miss you!" Emily buried her face into the unicorn's mane.

"I'll miss you too, Emily. But now you must go with your friends." Emily nodded.

"I know. Goodbye!" she called as she stepped into the newly made portal that Lorelei made. She arrived back at the glade.

Emily stopped to smell the Pennsylvania air around her. She was glad to be home.

"Miss me?" a voice said behind her. She turned around.

"Marlin, we were only separated for a minute!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Which is a minute too long. Admit it. You were dying to be with me again!" Marlin smiled at her.

"Oh yes. It's true!" Emily sighed dramatically, putting a hand to her forehead and throwing her head back. "What will I ever do without you?" she took her hand away from her head and slapped him playfully.

Marlin tried to glare at her, but started grinning instead. "Well, I gotta go. I'll drop by whenever I can. Bye!" He turned around and walked back to the portal as the others came out of it.

"Bye!" Emily called out to him. She turned around sighing contentedly.

!FIN!

AN: Well, there you have it. I hope you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Stay tuned for the epilogue (It'll be short though so be warned!)

You're faithful author
