"And that's how well that went." Aster beamed, and I couldn't help but follow, but then something crossed my mind.

"Emily...you're the one that said I was a kindred spirit with the one who my door belonged to...but you also said that you knew I was reincarnated...wow this is difficult to phrase...but...why did you lie?"

"It wasn't that I lied, Snowdrop. It was that I didn't know how to tell you that you were the reincarnation of a Pooka that most everyone that knew about the race...thought to be dead for billions of years."

"Okay, but what about our first dance?"

"That..." She breathed in with a delighted smile. "...although I was still very much in love with your Snowdrop side...and knowing that your Jack Frost side was the reincarnation certainly helped...in that dance...I fell in love with both sides of you. I fell in love with Jack Frost, but I fell even further in love with your Snowdrop side. It was all completely real."

"Okay, seems fa-wait...um..." I looked to Eira and I looked up at the Moon. "Manny? Is there anyway I can talk to you telepathically and Emily not hear me?"

"Sure." There was a brief glow on Emily, but then his beam slid over to me. 'What is it, Jack?'

'First off...I know we haven't been the best at communicating, but you've certainly made up for three hundred years worth of nothing by doing everything you did for me, my family, and my friends...so...I entrust my true name to you...but I...I don't know your true name...but unless you tell me your true name...I guess it doesn't work, huh?'

'Not necessarily true. If you'll remember correctly, Emily entrusted her name to you before she knew your true name.' I could hear the smile in his voice. 'But...in light of recent and past events...and considering you trusted me enough when I went back in time to preform soul magic on you...I entrust my name to you. My name is Tsar Lunar Lunanoff X.'

'The tenth!? Really?'

'Yeah, family name.' He chuckled low.

'Wait...have you entrusted anyone else with your name?'

'I have not. You are the first.' I felt the warmth in the moon beam and I couldn't help, but smile.

'Very well...Tsar Lunar X...I entrust my true name to you. My true name is Snowdrop Frost Bunnymund.'

'A pleasure to be trusted with your name, Snowdrop Frost Bunnymund. Now, I highly doubt that you wanted to speak to me like this just for a name exchange.'

'You're right...a thought suddenly occurred to me. I may have half of my human soul...my Jackson Overland Frost soul...but I have a full Pooka soul mixed with it...would that make my daughter part Pooka?'

'Hmm...I hadn't thought about that...Eira, come here please, and only use your thoughts as communication please as this is a very private conversation.'

'Alright.' I heard Eira speak with her mind as she came to stand next to me in the moon beam. 'What is it, Manny?'

'Well, Jack asked a very curious question, and I wanted you in my light so I could see if it was possible, and if it was...you would be able to transform like Jack did. You would be able to turn into a Pooka. I hadn't thought about it...but long long LONG ago...if a Pooka should take on a human mate, like your Father has done...then when they wish to have kits of their own, they are born with a special ability to choose to be one or the other anytime they please. It was an extremely rare occurrence, but it did happen enough times to be recorded, and those kits or Pooka were called shifters.'

Eira staggered back a bit, but stayed in the moon beam with me as she looked up to the moon. 'Are you serious!?'

'Very.' Tsar and I said at the same time.

'Okay...what do I have to do?'

'Just stand still and let me have a look at you, my dear.' At his words, I noticed that they seemed kinder and softer as if he was trying to console someone he loves...romantically...but no...that couldn't be right...could it?

'M-My dear?' Eira squeaked out in her mind, and I noticed the slight note of panic that left as quickly as it came as she apparently decided on an embarrassed look instead.

'Ah, sorry...'

I couldn't hide the amusement on my face as I crossed my arms while giving a smirk to the moon. 'Tsar, are you flirting with my daughter?'

'I...it was not my intention to sound like that, I promise.'

'That's not a no.' My smirk widened.

Suddenly the moon beam got incredibly narrow on me, leaving me a bit confused. That is...until Tsar started up again. 'I...even if I were it would be highly inappropriate. I'm millions of years older than her. Billions even...and I...I preformed the ceremony between you and Emily...and I have watched Eira grow from infancy...'

'You um...do know that time and age are mere words to a Pooka, yes? More so as a spirit. As long as a Pooka fell in love after eighteen, which is usually when it happened, then it was fine. Pooka are strange that way, and it would usually be frowned upon with some age gaps, but we live for millions and billions of years unless we're killed or we die naturally, and then we're reincarnated. So really...age is a word. Now, when I ask this, I want you to be completely honest with me. Have you somehow fallen in love with my daughter, and if so...when did you fall in love with her?'

'I...yes...I have...and it's vastly inappropriate...but I...yes...as for when...well...it...it was when she was visiting the druids once. They were playing their music, and I had my moon beams shine down on her, but I made it to where only she would notice and I...'

My arms dropped at my sides, and my smirk fell immediately despite still feeling incredibly amused, but now, I was more shocked than anything, because despite Eira's last name being Frost...she still had Pitchiner blood, and Emily explained to me telepathically while North was sharing a few stories in between mine, that the true loves first dance can only happen if it truly is true love, and the dance is felt between both partners. 'You...you danced with her didn't you?'

'I...yes...I did. She was thirty-three at the time.'

'Uh huh...Tsar, I'm gonna need you to shine the light back on my daughter again.'

'Snowdrop...are you angry with me?'

'Please, Tsar.' I told him without letting any of my emotion slip, especially the amusement, because he seemed not only worried, but almost afraid of my judgement, as well he should, but still, it didn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

'Very well.' He sighed out in what sounded like hurt defeat, and he shined more of the light onto a rather confused and concerned Eira.

'Father? Manny? Is everything alright?'

'So...' I smirked at her as I recrossed my arms. '...when were you going to tell me that you danced with Manny?'

'What!? How did you!? How did the two of you get on that topic!? Manny...why did you tell him!?'

'I owed it to him. You have no idea what I did to him, what I did to his family, Aster and Emily know...and I suspect Sandy knows, but the rest of you only have a vague idea of what I had done.'

'I understand, Manny, but still...' She looked down to the grass and started blushing.

'I'm not mad if that's what the two of you are wondering.'

'YOU'RE NOT!?' They chorused together.

'No, but I'm eager to hear how those confessions went.'

'Ah, well...you know how Manny communicates telepathically, and he can control his thoughts from his speech when his moon beams shine down?'

'Yes?' I asked with an amused smirk.

'Well...after the dance, he still had his moon beam on me, but he hadn't taken control of his thoughts. It came out as if he was speaking to me, and he really hadn't meant to.' Eira explained.

'What was said?'

'I said...accidentally aloud...'By the stars...I think I'm in love.' I can't tell you how much I beat myself up over accidentally saying it. My next words to her were, 'I apologize greatly, I hadn't meant to say that, and I know how you feel about me, because I haven't spoken with your Father, but I...after that dance...it's the truth.' Word for word, that's what I said.'

'I smiled up at him, and told him 'That's okay, Manny. After that amazing and wonderful dance...I feel the same. I want to get to know you more, if you'll let me, and I'm sure you have your reasons for not speaking with my Father, just as long as you plan to speak with him someday.' And he did. He told me he did...I just...are you mad, Father? We...um...we've been together since that day.'

'Knowing what I know now...with me being my own reincarnation and him using soul magic...It wasn't that he wanted to keep me in the dark, Eira, it was that he had to. Soul magic is very ancient, very dangerous, and very forbidden. Manny is the head of the Guardians, and he chooses new Guardians. If someone knew that he could do soul magic, someone like Pitch or others out there in the infinite cosmos, then they may try to hurt and go after everything he loves and cares for to force him to use it. So, in reality, he couldn't talk to me, and I understand that.'

'You have no idea how relieved I am that you say that, but that doesn't answer if you're mad at us now or not, I mean...I didn't even ask your permission...or Emily's.'

'And I can't blame either of you for that either. You both knew how I felt at the time, so it was justified, and hey, I have no room to talk. I kept my feelings in for a hundred years until I confessed to Emily and she did the same for me.'

'Father, you're not answering us.'

'No.' I sighed out. 'I'm not mad. However, before I say more on the subject...Tsar? Can you please look her over?'

'Y-Yes!' Manny narrowed the light on her heart, and then down to her core before he widened the light on both of us again. 'She...she CAN transform if she wished, but she wasn't given a plant name, so I have no idea what her markings would look like. Um...or what SHE would look like for that matter.'

'Will it upset you that she can turn into a Pooka? Will you love her any less?'

'No! Of course not!'

'Well, then...one more thing before I continue...bring Emily over here and have the communication the same with her.'

'O-Okay?' Manny quickly shined his light over to Emily, and I noticed everyone's confused and concerned looks, especially Aster's, and I couldn't help but grin.

Soon, Emily stepped into the light with us with a rather confused expression. 'Alright, Manny, what is it?'

'Yeah, Tsar, how about you tell her what you told me.'

'Y-You...you trusted Jack with your true name!?'

'Y-Yes, but that's not what he was speaking about. Um...When Eira was thirty-three...we danced and I...I had accidentally said allowed for only her to hear, because she was the only one who could see my beam...I said allowed, 'By the stars...I think I'm in love.' And she heard me...and she said she felt the same, and we...we've been together since. Then, after I told Jack that, I looked her over, and found that she's a shifter. Do you remember what those are, Emily?'

'It's when a Pooka takes on a human mate, and when they go to a Nature Pooka to have kits, the kit is born with the ability to shift...but that's ridiculous...Snowdrop was human when he...'

'Not completely. I have half of a human soul...but all of a Pookan soul. Which means I have Pookan blood...which then means...'

'Eira is Pooka, human, and spirit.'

'No, she's not a spirit. It means that she's just like me, Emily. She's not a spirit. Remember? We had this conversation once. Since I didn't die all the way, I'm technically not a spirit. I was just given my full Pookan soul, and brought further back to life before I could fully die. Although, belief should still work for her, because she was born on a spiritual plane...our domain...but it also explains how powerful she is. She's not just a combination of us...she's a combination of two races, two species, and two elements. She's a Pooka trapped inside a human body, that's all.'

'Wait, are you saying I'm a Pooka?' Eira stepped forward with widened eyes.

'A Pooka trapped inside a human body, but you see...Tsar gave me the gift of a shifter...you were born one. Do you remember watching the vision of Aster explaining being in a relationship with a Pooka, and how Pooka love for eternity?'

'Yeah...'

'Well, for one, with Pitchiner blood, like your Mother and therefore you, there's also an interesting way of things. It's how your mother and I fell in love so deeply long ago, and it's why we waited to confess to each other until a hundred years later...'

'What is it?'

'Well, first...Emily?' I turned to face her, and her eyes were widened in shock. 'They danced, Emily. They really danced. Now granted, it was Tsar's moon beams, but you know as well as I that their as connected to him as his own arms.'

'And he said he was in love...'

'Yes.' I smiled at her and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, as she started to smile with soft tears threatening to fall. 'She's done it, my love. She's found it.'

'Found what? What's this about dancing?'

It didn't take much to notice the sudden stunned look and silence from Manny, but I wasn't going to say anything directly to him yet. I turned to face Eira and she wore a baffled expression. 'You have Pitchiner blood in you, because your Mother has it in her...and for a Pitchiner, it's not true love's first kiss...it's true love's first dance. When the two of you danced, and fell in love...you found out...well...very unknowingly you found out that the two of you are each other's true love. However, it doesn't stop there. Eira, because of my blood and my soul...you're a Pooka shifter. You're a Pooka in a human body...but a Pooka none the less, and that means the man you fell in love with...Tsar...is your eternal love like your Mother was mine.'

'And how fitting as well.' Emily said as she wrapped Eira in a loving embrace. 'A princess falling in love with a prince.'

'P-PRINCE!?' Eira stuttered out and pushed gently out of the hug to look up at the moon. 'When were you gonna tell me that?'

'Uh...now seems like a good time.'

'Hey! That's my answer to getting caught!' I told him with a light laugh.

'Yes, and it's perfectly accurate for the situation. Wait...are...are the two of you saying...?'

I looked at Emily and she nodded her head at me, causing me to smile brilliantly at the moon. 'Tsar Lunar Lunanoff X, you have my permission to Court my daughter Eira Olivia Frost. That is...if you wish to. She's going to love you for eternity, so I don't see why not, I mean...' Before I could finish my sentence, I noticed a solid form appearing in the moon beam, and realized it was Tsar himself with tears in his eyes. 'Tsar? How are you able to do this?'

'I-I had practice my magic...for years...I eventually wanted to meet Eira in person, but I...I wasn't sure what she would think of me like this.'

'I still love you.' She reassured him, and the tears on his face fell even faster.

'Ei-Eira...' Tsar bowed low with a hand over his heart while fresh joyful tears fell from his eyes. '...will you allow me to court you? I'll learn from your Father, Emily, and Aster what the traditions are, but I'll also court you in my own way...if you'll have me that is...'

'I would love for you to court me. My answer is yes. I'll allow you to court me.'

'You...you said yes.' Tsar shot up as if lightning had struck and he turned to face me with a grateful smile. 'You won't regret this, I swear it!'

'I know I won't.'

Eira smiled at Tsar and she wrapped her arms around him, causing him to instinctively wrap his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head, earning many gasps, and a very baffled and dumbstruck Aster. He then looked down at her and brought a shaky hand up to the side of her face, earning even more gasps of shock that the four of us once again ignored. 'I love you so much, Eira.'

'I love you too, Manny.' She beamed and leaned into his touch. 'You're taller than I thought you'd be.

'Yes well...once you transform into a Pooka, you'll likely be taller than me.'

'Hmm...' She hummed, and seemed to search inside herself. Soon, she seemed to find it, because she started to glow a brilliant violet color. Then, she started to grow now only in height, but she started to grow fur and ears, while her hands and feet turned into paws. She stopped glowing, and I was stunned speechless. My daughter turned into a Pooka that was my exact height, and she had ebony colored fur, and the markings on her forehead and arms were interesting to say the least.

'Her markings...that's...' Emily apparently noticed it too. Eira's markings showed a crescent moon with a snowflake attached to the top point of the crescent on the left side, and on the right, there was another crescent shape, but that one held a rose. However, the markings on her forehead were the markings on her arms put together. The crescent moons were back to back and holding their individual extra pieces. the right had had the rose, and the left had the snowflake, and when she opened her eyes, they were still the same ice blue they were before. 'Her markings should show what magic she has...like Aster's is a flower, which means he has nature magic...and you're are snowflakes which means you have winter magic. So, I mean...it makes sense that her Nature and Winter magic wold appear..but I've never seen a crescent before...What does that mean?'

'It must've been due to their dancing. She danced with not only The Man in the Moon, but essentially the moon itself. She's connected to the moon now. There's no telling what extra magic she has. This is certainly going to be interesting.' I told her with a wide smile. Then, I turned to Tsar. 'We should probably tell the others about your intentions with my daughter. They seem about ready to faint from seeing you in person.'

'RIGHT!' He snapped his fingers and the moon beam left, but the moon stayed.

"Sn-Snow!? Please explain to me what the hell I just saw, and am still seein'! I mean...your daughter is a...I mean...she's absolutely beautiful, there's no denying that. She makes a beautiful Pooka, and I'm glad to see my niece's Pooka form, but I...Manny kissed her on the forehead...Manny's here in person...your daughter's a shifter!? How? What? Why? I'm missing so much here!"

"Okay, let's start with the easy ones first, just for everyone's benefit. When Manny preformed soul magic he didn't put a half of my Pooka soul next to another half. He kept half of my human soul inside me, but he also put a full Pooka soul inside me, making my blood Pookan blood instead of human blood. When he gave me the ability to change into a Pooka, he gave me the gift of the shifter...but because of my blood...and Emily being human...Eira was born a shifter. She just didn't know it until today. Now, as far as Manny and Eira...and why he's here in person...Aster...please pay very close attention to what I'm about to say."

"Alright." He nodded his head with the same skeptical look everyone else had.

"When Eira was thirty-three...her and Manny danced. Now, due to Emily's blood being that of a Pitchiner...she has Pitchiner blood in her. When they danced...they both fell in love."

"True love's first dance." He gasped in awe.

"That's not all, Aster." I grinned. "She also had my blood...Pooka blood, and since she's in love with him."

"Sh-She...She's found it. She's found her eternal...and it's Manny!"

"Yes she has, and it is. They love each other, and Aster...?" I questioned as I morphed back into my Pooka form. "Look at us. You're truly not alone anymore, and if Manny and Eira should have kits someday..."

"Oh my...Oh stars in heaven...if they have kits...and you and Emily have more kits...and those kits find their eternal with other humans or spirits..."

"Then the Pooka race will return. They'll be a Pooka race of shifters, but Pooka none the less." I finished for him, and watched as he instantly crouched on his haunches, sobbing into his hands. However, I could feel his overwhelmed joyfulness from where I stood, and I could see the amount of Hope that radiated off of him.

After about thirty minutes of him sobbing joyfully into his paws, and everyone looking at him with sympathetic and joyful smiles of their own, he finally lifted his head from his paws and looked at us. "Ya know..." He sniffed with a slight chuckle. "...they may just have to skip the courting."

My eyes went wide, and I crossed my arms again. "Why?"

"Well, Jack, because it's inevitable. They had True Love's First Dance, AND she's fallen in love with him. There's not much else to be done. Really...the dance is all the courting needed considering it's true love."

"Y-You're right." I stuttered out as my arms lowered, and I turned to face Eira and Tsar who were now holding hands with loving faces. "Eira...you saw what happened in the vision. If you...if you want, you have my permission, and Manny, you too, but remember...if you kiss him, or kiss him back, you're truly and forever bound to him for all eternity, and he won't be able to love anyone else for a million years, and if he still loves you then...a million years after that. The two of you would...in a Pookan sense...be married, and I'm giving my full permission right now."

"Would it um...would it work if I...if I kissed him in my human form?"

That question seemed to stun Tsar, because his breathing became a bit heavy and he stared wide eyed at Eira. "You truly...you want to...?" He swallowed a lump in his throat as he briefly looked at me, and then back to Eira. "Eira, are you sure?"

"We've been together long enough, I think it's appropriate if not long overdo at this point." She grinned at him, earning a soft smile in return.

"Oh my." He smiled brightly as he held a hand to his chest.

She glanced back at me and widened her eyes, silently asking again. I chuckled low and nodded my head. "Since you're a shifter, it should work." I told her as I transformed back into my human shape.

Then, without any hesitation, I watched as my daughter tugged on Tsar's coat, pulling him down to her, giving him what looked to be a soft yet passionate kiss, and they started to glow brightly with a light mixture of emerald green, ice blue, and pure silver. Once the kiss ended, Eira had to steady Tsar, because he almost toppled over with a giddy and loving look on his face as he looked at her. "Th-That w-was...um...I...wow."

"Congratulations." I told them with a highly amused, but calm voice. "You two are now bound and mated forever."

"Th-Thank you!" Tsar stated as he composed himself. He then gave a thoughtful look to Aster.

"What ya lookin' at, mate?" Aster questioned, obviously trying to stay calm after the turn of events that just happened.

"You know...I found out how to do it for a human...but I wonder..." Manny gave a gentle kiss to the top of Eira's forehead before walking over to Aster, and he placed a hand on his core. As soon as his hand touched his fur, they both started to glow. "I think it would be a bit unfair if all of the next Pooka generation were shifters, and you couldn't be let in on the fun." He grinned, and I was immediately breathless at what he was insinuating. "Don't worry, I'll conjure some clothes for you."

"Wh-What!?" He squeaked out as the glowing stopped.

"Go ahead and try it out, Aster." Aster looked at himself, and then with widened eyes and a heavy breath, he looked at me and Eira. He closed his eyes, and started glowing, and although he stayed at his same height, his body started to change like our's did when we would transform, however, he was a Pooka changing into a human. Not the other way around. When he was finished glowing, we all gaped at him in astonishment. He had skin the same color as mine, we had the same nose and ears. His hair was long and seemed to end just beneath his shoulder blades, and it was the same shade of gray that his fur was, but it didn't make him look old. In fact, it made him look surprisingly my physical age now. Twenty. His eyes were still emerald green, and his markings turned into black tattoos on him. His clothes were unique too. He was shirtless, but he also wore a colorful coat that had short sleeves and stopped at the middle of this thighs. The coat had a sash that would be able to tie it into a nice robe shirt, and it held intricate colors and designs of green, brown, and blue. The same colors and designs were placed on his tai styled pants that poofed out in the middle, but sagged as well while they hugged tightly to his hips and ankles, and he was of course, barefoot. "It worked!" Tsar shouted in excitement.

"I...I have a human form?" He asked as he looked at his hands, and he counted his fingers.

I walked over to him, still completely stunned, and I looked down just slightly, because in my new human form, I'm 6'2, but he's still 6'1. "Aster?"

"Snow, it's me, Snow!" He laughed slightly, and the smile that accompanied the laugh told me it was well and truly him.

"Aster!" I shouted and wrapped my arms around him. "You're human! Wow!"

"I can't believe it!" He shouted in excitement as we ended our hug. He then leaned over to look at a proud Tsar. "Thank you, Manny. This was something I didn't even know I wanted until I looked at my form and then at Jack. This is definitely going to be interesting from now on."

"You're very welcome." He hummed lightly and then looked to Sandy for some reason. "Sandy, remember the conversation we had five hundred years ago?"

"Wait...No way! You actually managed to figure out how to do it!?" Sandy said with his symbols as tears started to fall from his face.

"Well, I was going to wait until next year on your birthday, but with how everything is going, and I am in such an overwhelmingly good mood, I'll give it to you now."

"What is he talking about?" I asked Sandy, but got no answer. Instead, I watch as Tsar suddenly conjured a glowing yellow ball in his hand, whispered into it, and then threw it at Sandy like it was a snowball, but it hit him directly in the throat. Once it hit him in the throat it seeped into his body. "Sandy?"

"A long time ago, Sandy was frustrated that no one but Bunny understood him, but I could still understand his symbols perfectly. So, I confronted him about possibly using the connection he had with Aster as a reference, and find a way to solve his problem. You see...Aster and you can hear him in your minds, but he wasn't born mute. When he was very very young, around the age of three, he got into an accident and damaged his vocal chords, while at the same time, increasing his dream magic and powers tenfold. It was a bad accident that he should tell you about on his own, but anyway, we discussed in length, and I told him that I would try my best to find if it's possible..."

"But he said he's always been that way."

"When you're as old as he is, and your accident happened at three...yeah, that's pretty much it."

"Alright, fair point." I admitted before looking to Sandy. "Sandy, can you try and say something?"

"H-Hi?" He asked with his voice coming from his throat. The voice that Aster and I were always able to hear, and judging from the gasps from everyone, they all could too. "I can talk! I can speak again! Starshine! You did it, Manny!"

"Seems so. Oh, today is a grand day!" He exclaimed before kissing Eira on the lips briefly just before looking at all of us. "And it's only going to get more interesting, wonderful, fun, joyful, hopeful, and so creative from here. Oh, and I made it to where I can teleport back and forth from the moon anytime, so there's that too."

"That's amazing!" Aster and I said at the same time.

"Bunny...Jack...Do you mind looking in mirror? Resemblance wasn't easy to spot before in Pooka form, but as humans...is uncanny." North requested with a pleased smile.

I nodded with a furrowed brow. Once I conjured the mirror Aster and I both looked at it, and were instantly taken back by how similar we looked. I was right, we shared the same nose and ears, but we also shared the same eye shape, cheek bones, and lip shape. We were almost twins. It was freaky. "Holy cow!" I laughed out.

"No kiddin'!" He chuckled out as he looked back and forth at our images. "Hey, I don't look half bad for a human."

"No, you really don't." I confirmed honestly. I then allowed the mirror to stay there as I walked over to Tsar with a proud and confident smile. "Thank you for everything, Tsar. You've no idea what all this means to me, and I am proud to call you family."

"Y-You're welcome, Snowdrop." Came out his stuttered reply as another collection of gasps was heard for about the umpteenth time tonight, and it was pretty obvious that it was because we entrusted out names to each other, but more so that Tsar entrusted his name to me. "I-I don't think I could ever adequately say thank you for allowing me to basically marry your daughter on the spot...and for allowing us to be this way, but thank you, and I will do everything within my power to not only make her happy, but to somehow make it up to you."

"You're very welcome, and there's no need for that." I laughed lightly. "Besides, you're right. This is definitely going to be an interesting adventure."

"Yes, but we'll be on the adventure together!" I heard Nimbus start with excitement as he wrapped an arm around the right side of my shoulder.

"That's right! We're family!" Bram shouted as he wrapped his arm over my left shoulder.

I noticed an amused grin appear on Tsar's face as he shook his head. He then sent an amused side glance towards Emily. "Hey, Emily..."

"Yes?" She asked as she stepped closer.

"I'm starting to think that perhaps Jack wasn't the only thing reincarnated. I believe we've found the new inseparable three!" He bellowed out a laugh, and I watched as Emily's eyes widened at his words, and a smile on her face appeared that definitely held notes of amusement.

"Oh my...you're completely right! I noticed, but I didn't think...wow! This is interesting! Yes, this will be a grand adventure indeed."

I looked at Nimbus and Bram, and they removed their arms with knowing smiles. I walked closer to Emily with a loving smile as I looked into her beautiful eyes. "Together, my sweet Emily?"

"Together, Snowdrop. Always and forever."
