Mew walked out of the gap Yukari had opened for him and found himself right back in Sancturia, just as she promised.

And she even conveniently left him out in front of the Aurora household. Though, maybe he's counting his blessings a little too soon on that part.

He looked back and the gap was gone like it had never been there to begin with. He raised his hand wearily towards the space it was and murmured, "Maybe could've put me a little further out from here..."

He drooped his hand with a hefty sigh and then tucked both hands in his pockets to face the door. There was a dim light visible through the windows. And as a matter-of-fact, it was nighttime now. How late, he couldn't tell, just that some stars were visible past the clouds and the sun was hiding away.

But he's been gone for far too long regardless. Even a blind man could see what was coming next for him.

"Well," He laid out a heavy sigh below his chest and then raised his head trying to strut confidently towards the front door, "Better get this over with."

He peeled back the cloth door and headed on inside. The first footstep upon the ground alerted everyone to his presence.

And the number of people in the house had nearly doubled since he left. Now Joe Dark, Alura, Lunis and even Solaris of all people had settled in to the melancholic atmosphere glued inside the house.

Riku was still in the same spot moping a little less than before, and he was the first to notice that his brother had returned. Lunis was in the middle of leaning up to him, probably to comfort him.

Solaris was leaning against the side of the couch but the moment he heard Mew he tilted his head over his shoulder and looked exasperated by his presence.

Gabriel was off to the right with his eyes closed but letting out a sigh and turning his head away from Mew in shame.

Alura was...herself. Nothing to see there. But Joe Dark? Hoo boy, he was staring at Mew, like a killer about ready to pounce.

And then there was Kairi. She was on the couch opposite of Riku's with her face buried in her hands and Auris sat down trying to comfort her by rubbing her back.

Yet when Mew walked in she slowly withdrew her hands and looked up at him. Her eyes were awe-struck and dim of vigor. There weren't any proper words to describe the rest of her face without coming off as insulting to this grieving sister.

Auris stood up first and foremost, staring at Mew with her eyes seconds away from tears. She dried her eyes off on her sleeve and then tried to smile, having noticeable difficulty making it look in any way natural.

"W-Welcome back, Mew." She whispered.

Mew pulled his hand up and waved briefly to the crowd, "Hey."

Solaris crimped his biceps with his fingers and pulled off the couch, remarking sardonically towards Mew, "Yeah. Welcome back. Have fun out there?"

Mew tensely swallowed and then with a hasty, nervous grin he looked at Gabriel again, who withdrew his head even further away.

"I-I guess he couldn't keep it up forever..." He looked back at Solaris just in time to see the others rising to attend to his return.

Solaris waved his hand out viciously towards him and yelled, "I expected this kind of hooky behavior from someone else! What the hell were you thinking?!"

"He doesn't think, that's the problem." Alura chimed in, focusing her cold eyes upon Mew and this time, they seemed a little nippier than usual.

"C-Can I explain myself before-"

"Explain what?" Joe Dark remarked with scathing disdain as he lanced up to Mew out of nowhere, grabbing and hoisting him against the nearby wall by the collar of his shirt.

Gritting his teeth he growled, "How you abandoned all of us without a word, when Shina was upstairs crying her heart out because she lost her child?!"

Mew started sweating as Joe Dark's knuckles cracked. He through his hands up and told him, "I-I got a very good reason for leaving-"

"There's no such thing you bastard!" Joe Dark grunted and shook Mew against the wall, hoping to rattle some sense into his dumb brain, "I tolerated your loftiness for this long because you're my brother and I thought you were more mature than you let on! But this...? This time you've crossed a line, Mew!"

Mew squeezed his eyes shut and grit his teeth as Joe Dark wound his fist back.

"Joe! Stop!" Suddenly Kairi barked out an order, and Joe Dark's fist heeled behind his back. He looked back alongside Mew to find Kairi standing up and slowly making her way over.

Her frazzled hair was hung over her eyes but she had a wide, ever-present frown.

Joe Dark spat at her face as she walked up beside him, "He deserves what's coming to him!"

She threw her hand tightly atop his shoulder and moaned without any hint of emotion, "I said, stop."

Joe Dark's whole body trembled, and reluctantly he let Mew go, though his body was still full of rage.

Mew patted his shirt down and chuckled in relief, "Whew, thanks for the save Ka-"

It blinded him at mach speed. For a brief second his vision went dark, followed by a terrible, stinging pain coming off his right cheek. He lost all balance and collapsed, sliding back first down the wall.

His ear started ringing like a high-pitched siren, with his eyes staring blankly towards the ground on his left. He slowly panned his gaze upward and saw Kairi's fist, the skin torn off the knuckles and beginning to bleed.

She righted herself upright and stared down with both her eyes trembling, the tear ducts red and swollen and her lips curled into her mouth.

Mew felt minuscule beneath her gaze, and for once, he was out of words to say.

She tightened both her fists and muttered "Bastard!" tearfully. Then she raised her right foot and tried to shove it through Mew's skull, only to intentionally miss and put a hole through the wall next to him.

Mew's heart plummeted, and Kairi pulled her foot back, having scarred up the leg a little.

She then grit her teeth and shouted, "Just go die already!"

Then she turned and ran right out the front door. Gabriel sprung to attention and made a move for the door yelling in a panic, "Kairi, wait!"

"Leave her be, Gabriel." Auris stilled him with such few words.

She walked around the couch and remarked, "I'll go after her."

"...Yes, that's probably for the best." Gabriel sunk back against the wall quietly.

Auris then kept walking until she was a step before the door, upon which she tilted her head towards Mew and whispered, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Mew, rubbing his sore cheek as he began to stand, told her sincerely, "Yeah..."

He tried smiling but the pain forced it back. So instead he chuckled dryly and told her, "We'll talk privately about it later, ok?"

She left it at that and walked out the door. Meanwhile, Mew struggled to keep standing, his knees feeling about as tough as gelatin right now.

He looked at Joe Dark staring bitterly at him and then, taking advantage of this long, awkward pause he pleaded quietly to him, "NOW can I explain myself...?"

Joe Dark crossed his arms together hard and grumbled aloud to himself for a bit, "You've got one last chance."

Mew breathed a heavy sigh and then gestured forward, "Riku, are you listening?"

Riku raised himself up on one arm, sounding like he had just gotten up from a very long nap, "Yeah, brother?"

Mew crossed his arms and smiled, once again forgetting all about the pain response. As he embarrassingly rubbed his cheek he remarked, "You don't have to worry anymore, we're going to be fine."

Riku's eyes widened and he gasped "What?", prompting Mew to nod and tell him, "Yep. I went and had a nice talk with the 'higher-ups'."

He closed his eyes and chuckled, "Turns out there might've been a few instances of miscommunication going on..."

"What are you saying?" Riku pressed further.

"I'm saying our world isn't suddenly going to be erased or anything like that," Mew grinned through his pain and said with a little bit of boasting, "Yep! Your diplomat of a brother sorted it AAAAALL out."

Joe Dark was left scratching his head in frustration and confusion, "I-I'm lost, who the hell are the 'higher-ups'?"

But Riku's more ecstatic voice overwhelmed his brother's confusion, "Y-You really went and did all that...for us?"

"I did it for all of us!" Mew stated proudly.

Gabriel remarked in disbelief, "I honestly can't believe you pull you off."

Joe Dark turned his head back and forth while muttering, "Wait, 'us'? Who's 'us'?!"

Mew promptly ignored him as he walked on up to Riku and patted him on the shoulder, looking him proudly in the eyes and keeping his voice from cracking, "You two can go and live whatever life you want in peace. Think of it as like...an early baby shower gift."

"You two?! BABY SHOWER?!" Joe Dark grabbed and flipped Mew around by the shoulder, his expression a natural mess of confusion at this point as he repeatedly jabbed Mew in the chest, "Are you trying to throw me off to avoid a beating, Mew?!"

Lunis leaned in to Riku's ear and whispered, "Riku, maybe we should...?"

He waved his hand back at her and replied, "No, I-I agree..."

He was fighting back the tears as he stood up and got the gang's attention with a couple rigid cough.

"Everyone..." Once he made sure Joe Dark especially had settled down, he helped Lunis stand and they cupped their hands together, "I'd...like to make an announcement."

"Lunis and I, well..." He turned and looked up into her silvery eyes with a smile, "We're...going to be having a baby."

Joe Dark's hands dropped and he was left staring and gawking at Mew's rather smug smile. He then stood up growling before squeezing through his humbled mouth, "C-Congratulations...?"

"I...I don't know what to say..." Gabriel interjected, his voice no more than a whisper, yet full of nothing but the utmost joy. He walked up to the two and looked right at Lunis specifically, "It feels like just yesterday you were that little girl tugging my hakama and asking me questions."

He closed his eyes and smiled, "I wish nothing but the best for your child."

"Ga...Gabriel." Lunis raised a hand softly upon her cheeks and blushed.

Mew slipped out from underneath Joe Dark and tucked his hands in his pockets, letting out a little chuckle as the unease in the room began to fade bit by bit.

But as he craned his head back he sensed a great source of discomfort up above stronger than the rest.

"...Time to make things right." He let out a long sigh and then began to sneak his way up the stairs while everyone was distracted by the news of the new baby.

He went right to Shina's room and tapped the side of the door twice.

"Can I come in...?" He whispered, to no response.

Nevertheless, he opened up and went inside. The lights were on but everything was quiet. Shina was lying in her bed wearing a sky blue gown, her back against the head of the bed while her sheets were crinkled up and halfway down her legs.

There was a broken glass of water on the wall opposite her bed and a plastic tub that looked like it had been punched laying on the ground.

Shina's eyes were vacantly staring forward, her hands upside-down by her hips while the chest of her gown was wrinkling from being dampened.

Mew paced his way to the edge of the bed and knelt down so she'd get a good look at him out the corner of her eyes.

"Hey." He said softly. No response again. She was looking catatonic. No smiles. No frowns. No movement. Nothing.

She used to be so full of life and now she was just...drained of it. There was no spark to be ignited. No fire to fuel her soul.

She might never recover from this day. She might never want to.

...But Mew had to try. Not for his sake or her sake, but for Kairi's.

So even if it was painful for her to see his face, Mew lifted himself up and put it in the center of her field of vision while saying to her, "Shina? Shina, its me, Mew. I'm here...I'm here now."

Her eyes and lips trembled a little and she gave off one small blink. Mew slowly pulled back, watching her blink a few more times before finally turning to look at him directly.

"...Mew." She whispered, for a brief moment showing a glimmer of life in her tired eyes.

Mew waved his hand up and partway smiled, resting his elbows on the edge of the bed.

Shina smiled. It seemed sincere enough.

"I'm glad you're here."

Mew smirked and said with a slightly gruffer voice, "Kept you waitin', huh?"

She giggled briefly. Mew narrowed his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner."

She quivered and her face briefly looked unsettled. She turned her head away, her hands shaking as her fingertips dug into the blanket.

"...Its alright. I'm not upset." She murmured.

"Shina," Mew settled on a long pause, tapping his finger on the bed sheet until he could muster up the courage to say, "...What happened with the baby anyways?"

Her grip on the sheets tightened and her face made it look like she had a miniature heart attack.

"I-I'm sorry." Mew retracted his words but it was too late.

Shina stared down at her stomach and kept her eyes shut as she took a long, deep breath in and out.

"I don't know..." She whispered, "I don't know."

"..." Mew hung his head and murmured, "I-I'm really sorry...about...what happened."

Shina pulled her head back and began to smile, touting a positive take on the situation, "Its fine, Mew. I...I probably wasn't ready to be a parent anyways."

She grinned and chuckled, and Mew felt disturbed looking at her clearly forcing these words through her mouth.

"I didn't even know how to change a diaper, heh heh! Plus there would've been all the drool, and the crying, and..." Shina quivered, her smile instantly wiped off her face.

She stared down at her open palms without blinking. One single tear forced itself free and dropped on top of her palm, which she squeezed around her fist as tight as she could.

Mew reached out and put his hand on top of hers. She turned to him and partway smiled as she asked, drained of hope, "Mew, what have I done wrong?"

Mew pulled his hand away and shook his head vigorously, "Y-You haven't done anything wrong."

"...I just," She pulled her hands together against the center of chest and squeezed them tight, her whole body trembling as she gasped a wail of woe, "I just can't seem to hold onto anyone I love."

Mew was defeated by that answer in a swift, precise, and tragic fashion. He started to feel himself tear up a bit as well in frustration.

And yet, he felt he couldn't retreat. Not until he gave back some hope to Shina.

Brazen, emboldened, Mew looked Shina in the eyes and waited a few moments before telling her, "I avenged Alex just a while ago."

Her eyes perked up and she slowly panned her gaze towards him. Mew looked away, tapping away at the edge of the bed as he spoke, "Yeah...I went and gave Yukari Yakumo a thorough ass-kicking."

He faced her and said following an exasperated gasp, "I-I mean I didn't go solely for that reason but lets face it, the part of me that wanted revenge got it."

Shina, to his surprise, frowned and turned her head to face the window.

"...Shina?" Mew called out.

"...I...I felt something strange when I lost the baby," Shina strained between her lips, "It was a voice...calling to me."

Mew had chills up his arms as he inquired further, "What...what was it?"

"I...think it was Alex." She admitted without hesitation, and that chill in Mew's arms went cutthroat towards his heart. He laid a hand on his now rapidly beating chest as she echoed the words she heard.

"He said...'I'll come back soon'."

Mew hung his head and thought, "Could it have really been him...?"

No, it couldn't have been.

Mew shook his head and looked at Shina. But before he opened his mouth she said, "Mew."

She pulled her head back around and stretched her arm out as far as it'd go to reach his shoulder. She smiled, a little more sincerely this time, "I'm glad you came up here, but...Sometimes, there are battles you can't win with kind words alone."

Mew reached out to her hand and held it gently, feeling like he didn't have any answer to that.

"This...is just...something I have to handle on my own," She said, her voice breaking down along the way, "I-I'll never be over this. But I..."

She pulled her head back and sniffled, "I'm going to try and learn how to be happy again...Someday."

Mew had just one thing left to say, and it resonated now more than ever, "We're all here for you, Shina."

She closed her eyes and nodded with a whisper, "I know, you've given me that comfort today."

She then creased out a smile and chuckled, "Now, Mr. Mew, don't you have someone else you need to go have a chat with?"

Mew lingered on that question one second too many, as Shina then applied a fierce vice grip to his shoulder and said with an understated tone of annoyance, "You should probably get right on that champ."

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Mew thrust himself upright and turned away, slowly walking his way out of the room while rubbing yet another sore part of his body.

"Guess her sister complex isn't ever going to change..." Mew drew his hand down and wiggled it around, "She's right though. I need to find Kairi."

He headed down the stairs and right as he reached the bottom, Auris came walking through the front door. Immediately locking eyes with one another, Mew asked, "Any luck?"

Auris shook her head and muttered, "Her trail's run cold. I worry she might have exited Sancturia entirely."

"Oh shit...!" Mew grit his teeth and felt totally responsible for letting this happen.

Auris then started to walk by in front of him, brushing her hand up beside his face and whispering, "Maybe we'd have some luck if we retracted her steps...All the way back to the beginning."

She turned and gave a not-so-subtle wink.

Mew nodded and acted natural, "I'll go out and try to find her."

"I appreciate it, Mew." Auris continued on her way, towards where the others were sitting around and talking, trying just a little bit to be more positive.

It wasn't much but, the sentiment was there.

Mew let this happy moment stick in the back of his head and smiled. For all the pain they've all gone through, this one picture was worth every word.

But there was a key figure missing...And to bring them back, he was going to fight the hardest, and possibly last battle of his life.

He walked out the door and through the quiet streets of Sancturia staring up at the stars. Somewhere out there, a boy set out on a journey to fulfill a destiny he never expected, and changed a bunch of lives that he never could've imagined meeting.

All those hard-fought battles came with their victories and their losses. There will be those who survived, and those who will never come back...

But those who are still alive now can be grateful for what he had done for them, even if they don't realize that.

Mew hung his head with a sigh and smiled, tucking his hands into his pockets as he went straight to the one place he knew he needed to be.

After a few minutes of silent pondering he lifted his head up and found himself at the Pyramid. And sitting against the side of the entrance with one knee held between her arms...Was Kairi.

Mew approached her slowly until he knew she'd be able to hear him.

"I knew I'd find you here." He joked, inciting her to lift her head and immediately glare at him.

Mew stopped where he was and the two stared at each other from this long distance. Kairi pulled her face down behind her leg and grumbled, "Go away...!"

Mew lifted his hands from his jeans and sighed, "Can I start with an 'I'm sorry'?"

She poked her eyes out from behind cover, glared, then put them away.

Mew felt a shiver across his skin and tucked his hands away, "I'll take that as a 'No'."

He took a couple steps closer and asked her politely, "Can't we talk like grown-ups for once? Please?"

Kairi pulled her head up briefly to give her rather blunt opinion on that, "After what you pulled?"

"...I admit, it was wrong to let Gabriel lie to you all about where I was, but-"

"This isn't about Gabriel, Mew!" Kairi suddenly sprang to her feet with her fists beside her hips and her nostrils flared.

With a couple huffs like a bull ready to charge, she started to run on up to him, a hand laid flat atop her chest, "I didn't even realize what was going on until Maria suddenly wandered into the house saying 'Mama, where'd papa go?'"

Mew swallowed deep and grit his teeth. Kairi stomped her feet into the ground a few feet in front of him and leaned in, her accusing whispers building up to a much bigger storm, "And you know WHY it took that long? Because I was busy, trying to comfort my sister, after she lost her child...!"

"While you were off doing god knows what, god knows where!"

"I-"

"I don't want to hear excuses!" Kairi pushed her finger into his chest and told him, "You should've been here! For her! For US."

Mew raised his hands with an uneasy grimace and remarked, "You're right. You're completely right."

Kairi grit her teeth and threw her hand down, turning away while murmuring, "I shouldn't BE right."

She threw her hands on her face and then let out a massive grunt of agony as she threw them down, "Time and time again you keep proving me right and I can't TAKE IT anymore!"

"I shouldn't have to rely on a coin flip as to whether or not you come back, Mew!" She turned around and laid her hand back on her chest, "What you're doing to me is torture! Its not RIGHT!"

Mew closed his eyes and put his hands on the back of his head. Feeling her rage, and pain, thrown out even more intensely than what she gave to Gravitus, he didn't flinch.

"...Kairi, I know what this is about." Mew said with a tender look forward.

"Do you?" She gnashed her teeth together and lunged her body forward at him, "Do YOU?!"

"Yeah, you-"

"Why would you now when you're always so stubbornly idiotic, moronic, a real hot-blooded jackass and, AUGH!" Kairi threw her arms down and squeezed her eyes shut, her face as red as a beet, "My chest aches when you get hurt, but you don't care! I cried when you almost died, but you joked it off! Do you understand any of that?! Do you know WHY I feel this way, Mew?!"

"Kairi, stop beating around the bush and-"

"WHY AM IN LOVE WITH A BULLHEADED IDIOT LIKE YOU?!" She screamed to the high heavens.

"T-Tell..." Mew trailed off, his pupils dilating and his jaw left fully agape. Choking on his own air, he gasped up in disbelief, "W-Wait...You said it."

Kairi opened her eyes narrowly then squeezed them down harder, letting out a strained grunt deep inside as she rattled her fists in the air.

"You...you actually said it...I-I..." Mew turned aside and rubbed the back of his head, "D-Did I actually hear that right? You...actually, really, sincerely do love me?"

She opened her eyes open and with them wobbling wet with tears she thrust her head up and shouted, "You...you're wrong!"

She then stubbornly turned away, folding her arms against her chest and insisting through a raspy breath, "...I don't love you."

Mew turned to her and waved his hand down in confusion, "But you JUST said-"

Kairi turned back around and threw her head down to tell, "How can I ever love someone who treats their life as expendable? You're never going to stop fighting! Never going to stop getting into trouble! I try and I try and I TRY but I know I can't change who you are, so what's the fucking point?! You don't even care! You'll just laugh it off later, I...I-I can't do it! I can't do it I can't do it I can't DO IT!"

She clutched her fists against her chest and threw her head down at a scream, "I won't wind up like Shina!"

Mew found his hand slowly rising to his chest, which was now in pain, like a wound was lanced through his heart by a spear, a spear of long since pent-up emotion. And with a deeply pronounced sigh, he tucked his hands in his pockets, fought past the resonance of her sorrows and cut right down to the heart of the matter with few words, "Ok Kairi, I hear you."

She slowly lifted her head up after a long pause and stared into his eyes and his smiling, tired face, "As of this moment...I'm done!"

With a mere shrug he said, "That's it. I'm done. You want me to stick around? From now on, I'll be here all the time for you and Maria."

Her jaw dropped again while Mew kept going on and on, "Besides, I think this Elemental Overlord's done enough thrill-seeking to last a lifetime. Maybe it won't be so bad to settle down and try starting a family."

He closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, "Yeeep. I think we've wrapped up just about everything important anyways."

He turned his attention towards Kairi with a gaze as soft and comforting as cotton and began to whisper, "I'm sorry for ever hurting you. I swear, I never meant any harm. All I ever wanted was to make sure everyone I cared about could live a peaceful life. I guess I just...never considered how much some people would care if I was gone."

Mew grinned, "A year ago I was all alone, but now? You guys are an irreplaceable part of my life. I wouldn't trade any of you away for the world."

His grin turned a little sheepish as he began to nervously rub the back of his head, "A-And truth be told, I...might have been in love with you for a while now too, its just..."

Suddenly he was pushed back by Kairi throwing herself onto him and embracing his waist in a tight hug. Her trickling tears seeping into his shirt as she tilted her head and murmured, "P-Promise me you won't go away."

Mew held his hands up and then after a long pause put them on the back of her head and told her, "Yeah, I promise."

Only to curtly shift over to, "BUT! On ONE condition."

Kairi's eyes widened and she mumbled hesitantly, "What?"

"I don't want 'peace time' to translate to 'lazy time'," Mew helped pull her head back so he could look her in the eyes and show just how serious he was being with this, "I still want to keep up a dedicated training regimen so that we won't be rusty if some bad guy decides to invade."

Kairi pouted and turned her eyes aside to mutter, "Haaa, fighting's a part of who you are, I guess I just sort of have to accept that, don't I."

"Hey look on the bright side," Mew grinned and laughed, "At least this'll be a good excuse to help you burn off some weight."

"AH...!" Kairi gasped and pulled right out of his hands, throwing her fists down and exclaiming, "I-I'm not fat!"

"I didn't say you were but like," Mew pinched down at the side of his stomach, "If you were to just work on your abdomen a little..."

"You're starting this relationship with one foot in the grave, mister!" Kairi growled through her teeth, "And you wanna talk work cause boy howdy, if you want to keep training then YOU are going to get a job first, Mew!"

"Ok sure." Mew said immediately, leaving her mouth agape.

"I think I've settled on becoming a race car driver."

Kairi's eyes narrowed and she slapped her forehead hard with a groan, "A race car driver."

"I mean it...makes sense right?"

"Mew, I mean a REAL job." She bemoaned.

"What? Race car driving is totally a real job!" Mew said, his eyebrows slanted and his tone offended, "You work, you get paid-"

"You get to speed around at 100s of MPH in cool cars!" Kairi cut to the straight and narrow of the matter.

Mew wagged one hand up and said nonchalantly, "Ok so that's maybe 75% of the reason I want to do it, so what?"

"You're such a child!" She said with a laughing smile.

After a brief pause Mew looked her in the eyes and smiled back, "I did miss this. Us bickering a bit over silly shit."

He then extended one hand out towards her and said, "Shall we head home?"

She hesitated to reach out and take his hand, but right upon latching on she pulled herself right in closer and pressed her lips against his.

Mew's eyes bulged as the warmth of her skin melted into his. Time kept moving on, but they were trapped in their own moment. A moment that could have lasted forever, if they wanted.

Slowly, Mew closed his eyes and pushed his lips into hers. They kissed for a solid minute, and Kairi was the one to pull away.

The two turned their heads away from each other and Kairi let out a gasp, "O-Oh wow...!"

Both their hearts were fluttering and Mew's cheeks were rosy red as he wiped his moist lips onto his sleeve and continued to stare into the distance.

They paid attention to the warmth radiating off their cheeks as they locked eyes with one another again. They then stared down at how tightly they held their hands together, and both pulled them away at the same time.

"L-Lets not let this get out of hand...!" Kairi hastily admitted.

"Yeah, no, totally agree!" Mew grabbed onto his hand and grit his teeth nervously, "I ain't ready to commit like Riku and Lunis have."

"W-What about Riku and Lunis?" Kairi gasped in exasperation.

Mew put his hand behind his head and chuckled, "You'll see when we get back. Come on, lets go."

He took the lead back towards the house while Kairi was left fluttering her eyelashes as she followed him.

Mew had a pleasant, relieved smile as he craned his head back and looked up to the stars. With one last bit of daring left in his determined soul he asked...

"Well universe..."
