Chapter eleven: Welcome back

It had been three weeks since the visitors had given up their Ideya to save the rebels, and the Nightopians had given up hope of their return, but no one took it as hard as Adia did. She would sit in her room all day and just stare out the window; hoping to see two figures flying back to them, and if she wasn't there you could find her in Castile Eden; where Nightmare used to be, and that's where she was today.

"Hey," Adia said as she sat in front of the small shrine they had created for their two heroes; it wasn't much, just the two personas encircled by a wreath of flowers, "It's me, Adia I just came to say hi," it comforted Adia to sit in front of the small shrine and talk to herself, she thought that maybe her friends could hear her somehow, "I didn't cut my hair Reala, and look I even braided it," Adia tugged at her golden brown hair braid.

"I always knew she would make a good Rapunzel,"

Adia looked up, then sigh, she had gotten used to hearing their voices in her head.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you were asleep for that conversation weren't you?"

"I don't think I was even sane for that conversation!"

Adia laughed, "Always getting into fights,"

"I don't think she knows we're here,"

"Maybe she can't hear us?"

"No," Adia said, "I can hear you."

"Then why don't you turn around and say hi or welcome back to life or something?"

"Because you're dead Nights."

"I am…I don't look dead… E.C. do I look dead to you?"

"You do look a little pale."

Adia shook her head; she had never heard E.C. before.

"Maybe I am dead."

Adia turned, and there they were, all of them, "Nights, Reala?"

Nights and Reala waved to her.

Adia stumbled to her feet, "You're alive."

"You're the one that said I was dead," Nights replied.

Adia's eyes filled with tears and she ran to her resurrected friends.

Nights held his arms out to give his best friend a hug, but she ran pasted him, and into Reala's arms.

"I said I'd come back," Reala said happily, "I-"

Adia reached up and kissed Reala, Reala closed his eyes and held Adia closer; this isn't what he thought when he thought of his first kiss, but it worked.

"When you're ready, you can come say hi to me too," Adia stopped kissing Reala and looked at Nights, who was averting his eyes.

"Come here," Adia ran over and gave Nights a long awaited hug.

"You know I'm going to be teasing you and Reala till the cows come home now, right?"

"Yes," Adia laughed, "Come on we need to tell everyone you're here."

"Are we going to have a party," Nights asked excitedly.

"I'm sure we're going to have more then that, Nights," Adia took Reala's hand and walked out of Castile Eden followed by the rebel Nightmaren, who were spinning and dancing happily in the sky.

"So," Reala said warmly, "Dose this mean that you and me are… you know."

"I'm going to let you figure that one out," Adia touched the tip of Reala's nose affectionately.

"Hey I have a question," Nights floated above their heads, "What are your children going to look like?"

"Why you little," Reala shot into the sky after Nights, who had already started running away.

Adia watched them fondly, "What I'm I ever going to do with those two?"
