Hey! So... It's been a while. A longer while than I had intended. I planned to start again last year, on Valentines Day. Because that's Violet's birthday. And then I planned to do it for this Valentines. And that didn't work out. I've been sitting on this for a long time is the point. Uh, Chapter 73-75 are completely done, so expect those soon. I want to update this once a week or so. No guarantees yet. The reason I waited was because I wanted to get ahead enough to plan to have an actual schedule, with a few weeks built up. Plus, it's kind of a small Arc in and of itself, with these chapters. Anyway, point is this was supposed to come out way sooner.
But then life, and everything just kept happening. KH3 was not out last time I updated this, and now it's been out for over a year. That's crazy, and I didn't mean for it to go on so long. But, I hope you enjoy regardless. So I guess, how ya been? I hope you've all been safe, and know that I value all of you. Especially you, yes you, you know who you are. You're cute, and I hope you have a fun read. Also I've been posting a bit more on Archive of Our Own, with some one shots, a few more chapter to A Quiet Place if you're interested in that, it's good stuff. Enjoy the chapter guys!
-Aftermath-
"That looks great on you Iris." Violet smiled, as Iris sampled some clothes, a white vest over a light pink blouse, with white capris pants, and deep pink high-top converse shoes, and a fluffy rainbow scarf around her neck. She smiled, as Stella nodded, giving her sister an excited nod.
"Yeah, it really does Sis!" Stella smiled, Iris hummed, and moved around a bit.
"It is comfortable, but isn't the scarf impractical? It doesn't seem necessary to me…" Iris muttered, Violet smiled a bit, and relaxed.
"Iris, not everything has to be practical, though given your world… It's understandable why you think that way." Violet smiled, Iris nodded. "I'll buy it for you, even if you have clothes, it's always nice to have more." Violet said, Iris nodded.
"Then I'll take all this off, and…" Violet stopped Iris by holding up her hand.
"Nah, not necessary." Violet said, before pulling out her phone, and scanning Iris' outfit, Iris stood still, fearful that it would mess something up if she moved. Violet smiled. "Jesse had this app thing linked to my bank account, so we could purchase things faster while travelling the worlds. He sure is handy to have around." Violet laughed, Stella nodded.
"Yeah, I use something like that to buy all my clothes too." Stella smiled, before she looked to Violet. "Mom, I'm gonna grab some similar stuff, be right back." Stella said, before she walked away, Violet smiled, and nodded, before tapping a few things.
"Okay, clothes are yours now." Violet smiled, and placed a hand on her hip, Tsubaki squeaked loudly from her shoulder, before she pulled up her phone once again, texting Jesse about leaving his Wayfinder lying around, so she could use it to travel back through the Corridor of Light.
"So, Mom, do you have a plan to stop ZaZick in this reality?" Iris asked, looking at Violet nervously, almost afraid of the answer, Violet however smiled confidently.
"Yeah, I'm gonna hit him… Really hard, hopefully until he starts crying like a bitch." Violet smirked, Iris laughed uneasily, she could tell that Violet wasn't kidding at all, that was literally her plan when she got to ZaZick, however, Violet then frowned. "I know what's at stake thanks to you, and I will not let him win, I can't." Violet smiled once again, softer this time, Iris laughed.
"I hope you do… Tanner said it's Bianca's destiny, her role to kill ZaZick, and then restore the world. I really hope we can win against him." Iris said, Violet nodded.
"Yeah. It feels kind of… shitty, knowing that if I don't act soon, or at all, or fail… The entire universe, every world is going to be smashed together, and thrown into chaos, ruled by a fucking asshole." Violet furrowed her brow, crossing her arms, before her phone buzzed, she looked at the screen, seeing that Jesse confirmed he left his Wayfinder on the floor of the dining room for them to come back through.
"That's why I want to get as strong as possible, it's your job to stop him in this reality, and mine to support Bianca when she saves our world." Iris smiled, as Stella came back, with a bundle of clothes in her arms. Iris went back into the dressing room and grabbed the clothes she wore when coming here.
"Okay, Mom, scan these babies so we can go." Stella smiled, Violet nodded, and scanned the bundle of clothes in Stella's arms, as Iris came back, with her old clothes in her arms.
"Alright. Let's get going girls." Violet said, as she pocketed her phone, and pulled out her Wayfinder, her hand glowed a bright pink light for a moment, before a Corridor of Light opened in front of her. She motioned for Stella, and Iris to go first, the two girls did so, and Violet followed them.
Once they were back in Janice's mansion, the Corridor of Light closed behind Violet, she turned, and picked up Jesse's Wayfinder, after pocketing her own. She walked through the house, and saw Jesse in the kitchen, cooking something, while Damon was in the living room still, watching some tv, looking relaxed. Violet walked into the kitchen, while Stella, and Iris went upstairs to their room.
"Here ya go Jesse, thanks for that, didn't wanna waste time walking back." Violet said, as she threw Jesse's Wayfinder to him, he caught it easily, and pocketed it, smiling a bit at Violet, nodding.
"I'm looking into a way to learn how to use Corridors of Light. Perhaps Rose, ofrKya could teach me… Or maybe you could just watch one of them do it, and adapt… Though I loathe the idea of you being able to create a portal to wherever you please at any moment." Jesse hummed, while Violet just laughed.
"I want it so bad. Just so I can fuck with you hard, also help people easier. Pop into one world, help a bit, pop back out." Violet said, Jesse shrugged, as he grabbed a knife, and cut some vegetables up.
"It would be useful for those purposes." He agreed, Violet nodded, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I should also probably hit up Apex one of these days, just so I can adapt to all the different fighting styles people have." Violet told him, Jesse hummed, shrugging a bit, looking at her critically.
"While it is wise of you to think of getting stronger in such a way, I think adapting to too much, too quickly could prove unwieldy to actually learn efficiently. It's best to stick with a few things at a time." Jesse told her, Violet hummed, considering his words, before nodding.
"Yeah. I mean, I guess I don't know how efficient my adaptation is at learning a lot at once. I think I would learn it all, because that's just how it works, but yeah, I probably wouldn't be able to master any of it quickly…" Violet thought over it for a minute. "Hey, Jesse, do you have a unique ability?" Violet asked, Jesse nodded.
"Yes, though it's not like yours. Mine is basically just advanced curative magic. I believe you already adapted to it, at least, that's what I would assume, it's what I use to heal you." Jesse said, Violet nodded.
"Probably. I'm gonna go ask Damon's about his, if he has one… I hope it's something cool." Violet said, before she left the kitchen, walking into the living room. "Hey, Damon, what's your Unique ability?" Violet asked, Damon hummed, and looked over at her.
"Oh, did I never show you?" Damon asked, Violet shook her head. Damon hummed, before he thrust his hand forwards, a shimmering portal opened, as his hand went forwards. Violet's eyes widened as she looked upon the portal, it looked like a shimmering sea of stars.
"What the hell? That's so cool, why did you never show me that before?" Violet asked, Damon shrugged.
"Never thought of it. I use it to store stuff all the time, just never had to use it around you I guess… It's kind of my own personal pocket dimension." Damon explained to her, Violet nodded, as she wiggled her fingers, looking at Damon's own pocket dimension, before she thrust her hands forwards, a nearly identical portal opened as she did so. The only difference was the border, while the shimmering borders of Damon's pocket dimension were a bright white light, the border of Violet's pocket dimension was a bright pink light, Violet smiled.
"Kick ass! This is great, I wish I had this when trying to hide porn from my parents. Never would have found it then." Violet smiled, before she withdrew her hand, and the portal closed. Damon smiled, and withdrew his own hand, his portal closing as well.
"You always say that, did that actually happen?" Damon asked her, Violet laughed a bit, and sat down on the couch, nodding.
"Yeah…" Violet trailed off, smiling as she reminisced on the memory, before she conveyed it through telling Damon the story.
-Aftermath- 15-year-old Violet- Hart Family Home-
"Kelsi! We got a problem here!" Toni exclaimed, she was currently in Violet's room, putting some laundry in drawers, when she found one of her own, old magazines. Kelsi made her way out of their room, and into Violet's quickly, rushing.
"What is it?" Kelsi asked, looking at Toni with worry, Toni furrowed her brow, and held the magazine up to her wife, Toni looked horrified, while Kelsi relaxed considerably, and laughed a bit. "Oh, is that a problem?" Kelsi asked, with a gentle smile, Toni glared at her wife.
"Yeah! My little girl is looking at… well, and she's probably… She's too young." Toni finished, Kelsi just sighed, and smiled wider, as she walked over to her wife, and took the magazine from her.
"This is supposed to be locked in our safe, I'm impressed she got to it, and wasn't this one your favorite? At least she has good taste." Kelsi smiled, Toni shook her head.
"Kelsi, she's… and… you know?" Toni stammered out, Kelsi smiled at her wife, and shrugged.
"Not really. I can tell this has you concerned Love, but Violet is a growing girl. Plus, she has access to the internet, I guarantee she has seen way worse stuff than what's in this magazine." Kelsi smiled, Toni glared at her, and recoiled.
"Gross! Jesus Kelsi, are you seriously okay with Violet doing this?" Toni demanded, Kelsi smiled at her, and nodded.
"Of course? She's growing up, it's not our right, or place to stop her from watching porn, or looking at these magazines. I do wonder why she took it though… Not like she needs it, since she has the internet…" Kelsi trailed off, Toni glared at her, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I feel like you aren't taking me seriously." Toni deadpanned, Kelsi shrugged, smirking a bit, before she frowned.
"Love, you know how my parents were with me, I wasn't allowed to have a life at all, I could only live in their protected, gentrified environment. I never want Violet to feel trapped at home, she deserves to live her own life, how she wants to live it, we're here to support her, and love her, not control her." Kelsi said, Toni's face softened, and she deflated.
"Right. But still, she's my little girl, I don't want her to grow up, I want her to… play in the dirt, scrape her knee, and hold her tight." Toni muttered, Kelsi smiled. "You saw me when she was born, I lost my mind, I just… I love her so much Kels." Toni finished, Kelsi smiled and hugged her wife, leaning into her.
"I know you do Love." Kelsi smiled, as the front door was heard opening. Toni jumped a bit, causing Kelsi to laugh at her.
"I'm home!" Violet exclaimed loudly, they could hear her running for a few moments, before she appeared in the doorway to her room, as soon as she saw her parents in the middle of her room she stopped and looked at them curiously, bag in hand. "What are you two doing in here?" Violet asked, tilting her head, Kelsi smiled knowingly, and held up the magazine, Violet turned bright red, and dropped her bag.
"Your Mom found this in one of your drawers." Kelsi smirked, Violet stammered, trying to find an excuse, but she came up with nothing. Her shoulders sagged, and she looked up at her parents like a kicked puppy.
"So, what's my punishment?" Violet asked, Kelsi laughed, before Toni could speak up.
"Nothing. I do have a question, why did you steal a magazine, when you have the internet?" Kelsi asked, Violet shrugged, perking up, when she heard that she wasn't being punished at all. Toni didn't fight Kelsi on this, just accepted it quietly, looking between her wife and daughter.
"Honestly? I appreciate the classics. Painter girl is my favorite, but this is super embarrassing, can we not talk about it more?" Violet asked, as she remembered it was her parents she was talking to, and not her friends, Kelsi smiled, and nodded, as she sat the magazine on the dresser, grabbing Toni's hand.
"Okay then, oh, and by the way, that's your Mom's favorite girl too." Kelsi smiled, before she dragged Toni out of the room, Violet just gaped after them, and grabbed her bag, before she slammed the door to her room shut, Kelsi smiled.
-Aftermath- Present Day- Janice's Mansion-
"How'd you know about the parts you weren't there for?" Damon asked, raising an eyebrow, Violet glared at him.
"I know my parent's you ass! Also, they told me more about that later." Violet told him, Damon nodded, during the story, Stella, Iris, and Ruby had joined them in the living room. The twins sitting close to their mother, while Ruby lay down on another couch.
"I love my Grandma's, they always give the best presents." Stella smiled, Violet looked over to her, only slightly surprised, it made sense after all, in a peaceful reality, her parents would still be around.
"Yeah, they would, they always did with me." Violet smiled, relaxing a bit, further into the couch, she smiled lazily, she looked rather tired. Damon hummed.
"You okay Baby-Girl?" Damon asked, looking at her, Violet nodded.
"Yeah, just been a long day, you know?" Violet smiled, Damon nodded. Violet stood up, and stretched out a bit, as Jesse came into the room, his arms crossed over his chest, he smiled a bit.
"Dinner is ready everyone." He informed them, before he went into the dining room. Violet hummed, and followed him, while Damon, Ruby, Iris, and Stella got up from their seats, and went into the dining room. Violet sat at the head of the table, with Stella and Iris on either side, facing each other. Ruby sat next to Stella, Jesse sat next to Iris, and next to him was his little sister Katie, Damon sat next to Ruby.
"I always loved family meals. Still do whenever we have them." Stella smiled a bit, Violet looked over at her.
"Cause you're in school now?" Violet asked, Stella nodded.
"Yeah, even though the boarding school is close to the house, me, and Iris mostly eat at restaurants, or in our room during study sessions." Stella said, Violet nodded. "We go home to eat every other weekend usually, catch up on things." Stella smiled, Violet laughed a bit, while Iris' shoulders sagged.
"We never really had family meals, being on the run from ZaZick and all." Iris hummed, Violet nodded, with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, you'll go back to your world, and save it, until then, just have fun here okay? We're going to train a lot, but when we're not, just enjoy your life here, for me, and yourself too." Violet looked at Iris seriously, before smiling sincerely, Iris nodded.
"I'm sorry if I bum you guys out. I'll work on that." Iris said, Stella shrugged.
"Don't sweat it Sis. Don't worry in no time, I'll have you running around with me, and we'll tear this town a new one. You don't mind do you Mom?" Stella asked, looking to Violet, who shrugged.
"I don't think Enna Kros would allow you here if you could negatively impact anything, so sure, do what you guys want. Me, Jesse, n' Damon will have plenty of work to do in the coming days and weeks, so I'd be happy if you guys just had fun while I worked." Violet told them, Stella nodded.
"Sounds good." Stella smiled, and leaned back, as Violet hummed.
"So, Stella, Iris, do you two want to share some stories of your worlds? I'm really curious about them." Violet said, looking between her daughters, Stella smiled, while Iris shook her head.
"My world isn't a fun thing, I don't have any good stories, and I don't want to depress everyone while we're eating." Iris smiled sadly, Violet nodded solemnly, while Stella giggled.
"Don't worry Iris, you'll make some remarkable stories here, and there when you go back and win." Stella smiled, Iris nodded. "But, I don't mind sharing." Stella smiled, and Violet looked to her, nodding at her to continue. "Okay, well, it was your birthday Mom…" Stella began.
-Aftermath- 38-Year-Old Violet- Alternate Reality, Destiny Islands. Hikari Boarding School for Girls-
Stella sat at her computer, humming as she examined the screen, the door opened, and she turned her head to see Iris coming into the room, with a bag slung over her shoulder. She placed it next to her bed and looked at Stella.
"What's up Sis?" Iris asked, Stella shrugged.
"Nothing much. I'm looking for a good birthday present for Mom. I found a really cool one, want to come with me to get it?" Stella asked, Iris shrugged.
"Sure. I need to take a shower first though. Soccer was pretty fun today." Iris smiled, Stella laughed, and leaned back in her chair, swiveling around, with her feet.
"Okay, sounds good, and that's good. Glad those bitches are polite now." Stella smiled, and clicked a few things, Iris shrugged.
"Yeah. Okay, I'll be back soon." Iris said, as she grabbed a towel, and another smaller shower bag, that held some clothes and a towel. She left the room, as Stella waved idly at her. Before she looked over, and examined her camera, humming a bit.
Several minutes passed before the door opened, and a girl with long brown hair walked inside, her hair tied in a loose ponytail, eyes a bright green, she was wearing the same school uniform as Stella. Stella looked over her shoulder and grimaced.
"Why are you here?" Stella asked, not hiding the obvious distaste in her voice, the girl glared at her, and crossed her arms.
"Your sister. We have a date later tonight, and I want to confirm a few things." The girl said, Stella shrugged.
"Well, Melanie, me and Iris are gonna go shopping for our Mom's birthday present pretty soon, and then we're celebrating her birthday. Should just cancel your date and spend the night unhappy while Iris, and I have fun." Stella said, Melanie huffed, and rolled her eyes.
"Or, and this is happening, you'll do your shopping, go to your party, then Iris will come back to campus, and soon after we will have our date, because I've already discussed this with both Iris, and your Mom." Melanie shot back, Stella shrugged.
"Whatever. Can you go be annoying somewhere else though? I need to edit this, and I'd prefer to do it in peace." Stella said, Melanie huffed, and went over to Iris' bed, sitting down and smoothing out her skirt.
"I think I'll wait here for her, not like I enjoy being around you, but it's most convenient, and logical." Melanie told her, Stella rolled her eyes. "What are you editing anyway, is it something important, or frivolous?" Melanie asked, Stella huffed, without turning around.
"The Vlog I did yesterday, not like it's your business." Stella said, Melanie rolled her eyes.
"I don't know why you do those, Vloggers are annoying, and stupid… Oh, I guess you do fit right in." Melanie mocked, Stella rolled her eyes.
"Oh, piss off Melanie, I've sustained a consistent 4.0 GPA throughout High School. We get the same grades on our tests." Stella defended herself, Melanie smiled, in a superior way.
"I have a 4.2 GPA." Melanie informed her, Stella rolled her eyes.
"Right, because of all that extra-curricular stuff you do. You're a fucking nerd, I get it. I have an actual life." Stella said, turning around in her chair, Melanie glared at her.
"Didn't I see some poor girl walking out of here the other night?"
"Yeah, ask your girlfriend." Stella shrugged, causing Melanie to glare at her, Stella smirked. Melanie knew Stella only said that to get to her, but it still gave her that slightest hint of doubt, after she had caught her previous girlfriend cheating on her, which is exactly why Stella said it.
"I don't know how someone as sweet as Iris can have a vile person like you as a sister." Melanie said, Stella shrugged.
"Oh, a vile person is the only reason your and my little Sis are even together. So yeah, horrible, vile thing I did there." Stella shot back, as the door opened, Iris walked in, looking happy, being all freshly showered, she was dressed in a simple white skirt, and pink shirt, she sighed, when she heard the two fighting.
"Can you guys not? It's really upsetting to see my two favorite people here at each other's throats constantly." Iris sounded exhausted with the situation, she dealt with this on a near daily basis, basically anytime the two were in the same space, both looked a little guilty, they had tried to tone down the fighting while Iris was around.
"Sorry, Iris." Melanie was the first to apologize, Stella nodded.
"Yeah, same Sis. So, are you all ready now?" Stella asked, as she turned back around, looking over her small camera, and disconnecting it from the computer, clicking a few things, saving her progress, before locking the computer.
"Yeah, you here to talk about tonight Melanie?" Iris asked, Melanie nodded, and stood up, giving Iris a quick kiss on the cheek, smiling sweetly at her, as she grasped a hand.
"Yes. Just our restaurant, and the exact time we're getting there." Melanie told her, Iris nodded.
"Um… We can go to the Destiny Island Hikari Café. I've always enjoyed that place, and as for time, if you could book around eight, it would be perfect. Iris said, Melanie nodded, and smiled, giving Iris a quick peck on the lips.
"You got it babe, that's all perfect, and exactly what I was thinking. Now, I'm gonna go get that set up, and do some studying, you have fun, I'll be back at seven thirty, that okay?" Melanie asked, Iris nodded, Melanie smiled one last time, before shooting Stella a glare, as the older sister shook her head at them, before leaving, closing the door behind her.
"Are you going to be Vlogging? We're just going to the store, aren't we?" Iris asked, Stella nodded, smiling.
"Hey, my audience loves me doing random things. I still need a good name for them. Stellites? Little Harts? Rainbows, in honor of my little sister." Stella smiled, Iris rolled her eyes.
"You know, I prefer not to be in your Vlogs." Iris reminded her sister, Stella simply shrugged.
"You're around though, and a big part of my life, you're naturally going to be in most of them." Stella simply shrugged at her, Iris smiled, and nodded.
"You're right. So, should we get going now?" Iris asked, Stella nodded, and grabbed her purse, slipping it over her shoulder, making sure everything she needed was in there, before she placed the small camera in her purse, and smiled, walking towards the door with Iris. The two sisters left their dorm room, closing and locking the door behind them, before making their way down the hallway.
The two sisters travelled across their school campus, Stella looking around, seeing a lot of familiar faces, most she had slept with, but a few were simply friends, and some were enemies, she did see her old girlfriend, the sweet, naïve rich girl she left for her Fianceé, the sweet, naïve girl averted her eyes, and looked like she was about to cry at just seeing Stella.
"Jeez. I'm an asshole, aren't I?" Stella looked to Iris, who simply looked at her, with an expression that noted her hesitation to agree.
"Well… You were kind of, brutal? You should apologize sometime."
"I tried! She just started crying whenever I tried, and then she ran away. I feel awful about what I did to her but… I'm not a good person, you got all that Sis." Stella smiled, Iris shook her head.
"You got plenty of good in you, but you can be mean, even if it's unintentional to a degree. Anyway, just keep trying, I'm sure you'll get to apologize properly eventually." Iris told her, complete confidence in her voice, Stella smiled, and nodded.
"I sure hope so! Nat is on my case about it too." Stella said, Iris smiled.
"So, how is Natalie doing? Are you two doing anything tonight?" Iris asked, Stella shook her head.
"Nah, Nat has a date with some girl from Radiant Garden, she's been trying to get with her for about a week now, so I told her she could do this, only to speed things up." Stella explained, Iris hummed, and shrugged.
"You don't have any dates planned?" Iris asked, Stella shook her head.
"No, none planned, might find a lonely girl on my way back to our room tonight though, and make her feel loved. You gonna come home tonight, or you gonna stay in Melanie's room?" Stella asked, Iris shook her head.
"You know how Melanie is, I'll be coming back to our room, so if you do have a girl, try to be discreet, or go to her room, I don't like walking in on my sister, and some random girl."
"I don't like that either! Anyway, I'll be sure to do so, but for now, that doesn't matter." Stella smiled, Iris nodded, the two sisters made their way off campus, and onto the train, which ran close to it. They showed their students badges, and sat down, waiting for the train to leave, and head into the bigger city located further into the mainland of the Destiny Islands.
"What are we buying Mom?" Iris asked, Stella smiled.
"It's this really… Oh, I'll just show you." Stella said, as she pulled out her phone, and brought up the page she had book marked. She showed the gift to Iris, who nodded appreciatively. It was a golden necklace with a pink quartz gem in the center of a golden heart. Jewelry was something Violet had a lot of, but this was new, and exclusive to this store, not even Janice's shop had it.
"That looks great, Mom will love it! Is that going to be from the both of us?" Iris asked, Stella nodded.
"Sure, since you're getting it with me. If you weren't… I'd probably still say it was from the both of us, because I love ya." Stella smiled, and wrapped an arm around Iris, pulling her into a hug, and laughing a bit, Iris giggled, and hugged her sister back.
The two sisters rode the train towards the larger city farther from the beach, getting off at a decent sized station. Stella started up her recording on her vlog, and recorded herself walking with Iris. They soon enough reached the jewelers they were getting the present from. There was a large bearded man behind the counter, he smiled widely once he saw Stella and Iris.
"There they are! How are my favorite high school girls!" He laughed loudly, his voice booming, Stella rolled her eyes, as they reached the counter.
"It's weird how you have favorite high school girls, it also implies you know more than just us, which is a bit creepy big guy." Stella teased him, he laughed, and shook his head.
"I run a jewelry store, plenty of high school girls, and boys come to visit me. But they're not as sociable, or profitable as you have been Stella. How's you Mom though, kiddo?" He asked, Stella smiled at him.
"She's good, and I'm glad Sully, you're my buddy. I prefer being a favorite. Anyway, could I just get this? It's for her birthday." Stella pulled out her phone, and showed him the screen, Sully examined it, and smiled knowingly.
"Ah, that piece! One of a kind, made it myself. Also, my newest piece." Sully grabbed a fancy velvet box behind the counter, and brought it onto the counter, opening it, and showing off the piece, pointing out, and explaining the delicate details to Stella, and Iris, he sounded very proud that he had accomplished making such a thing.
"We'll take it. You think I could commission you for something?" Stella looked at him, he nodded, placing his arms on his hips, smiling at them.
"Sure, anything." Stella smiled.
"We're having class rings done this year, I want you to personally make mine, and Iris' if she wants it." Stella looked to her sister, who nodded.
"That would be nice, I've always loved your work Sully." Iris smiled up at the large man, he smiled widely at her, and waved his hand.
"Oh stop. But yeah, I can do that, once you're ready, come on over, show me what you want, and I can make them for you, no problem." Sully smiled widely, Stella nodded, and grabbed her wallet from her purse, opening it up, and handing him her credit card, he took it, and entered her information, before handing it back to her.
Sully closed the fancy velvet box, and handed it to Stella, as he smiled. The girls left the store, and headed to their childhood home, which was back closer to their school. They rode the train back, before walking through the city they lived in, making their way to a large house, close to the beach, about a block away from it. Once they arrived they heard a loud yell come from their Mom.
"If you're my kids, help your Mother!" Violet yelled as she heard the door open and close through the house. Stella and Iris both smiled, before making their way to the kitchen, seeing Rose standing there cooking dinner, wearing a dark red apron over her t-shirt, and jeans. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at her children.
"Hey! Stella, could you get the cake from the fridge for me love, Iris, I could use your help with chopping these vegetables." Rose told her girls, Stella nodded, placing the present on the kitchen island, and moving to the fridge, as Iris moved to her Mother's side, washing her hands, before grabbing some vegetables and a knife.
"Anything after the cake?" Stella asked, as she brought the cake from the fridge, and placed it on the counter. Rose smiled.
"I haven't written anything on it yet. You could do that with the icing." Rose said, Stella smiled, and nodded, as Tanner appeared in front of her in an instant, he snapped his fingers, placing Stella in a special Stitch in Time using his magic, before grabbing her wrist and teleporting back.
-Aftermath- Present Day- Our Reality, Virtuoso City- Janice's Mansion-
"That's how I ended up here." Stella remarked with a smile, Violet laughed a bit, it was nice to hear about some reality where things seemed fine. It was also interesting to hear about Stella, and Iris from that reality. Though, at the same time it was a bit unnerving. But nothing that disturbed her too greatly. She was prepared to relax for a bit.
