Notes- Well I hope there are still some people enjoying this story, because I haven't gotten any reviews since chapter 11... So if you're still here (and my hit counter says you are) drop in and let me know what your opinion is on my story. Here's the next chapter!

Chapter 16-All's Well

Fleur helped Sora up the stairs and got him to a chair in the foyer. Hilda called the doctor, and they told him that Sora had fallen on the stairs. The doctor didn't bother to inquire about his other injuries. He fixed Sora's leg and wrapped it up in a bandage.

"Thank you so much, doctor. We really appreciate it very much." Fleur thanked the doctor as she showed him to the door.

"Not a problem. Keep him off it for a few days. After a week, he should start trying to walk on it a bit. He should be fully healed in a few weeks. Call again if you need anything else." The doctor explained to Fleur.

"We definitely will. Thanks again." She said as he tipped his hat and got into his carriage.

Fleur turned back to face Hilda and Sora in the foyer. Hilda had propped up Sora's leg and was holding her hands over it, chanting. Fleur's face took on a puzzled look. Sora seemed calm as he just watched Hilda work.

"Hilda? What on earth are you doing?" Fleur demanded.

"Shh..." Was Hilda's reply. She chanted a few more words, then opening her eyes and looking up. She then rested her hands on Sora's leg. "Under Roselin's control, I was unable to perform my magic. But now that her hold has been broken, I can cure Sora's leg without the need for a bandage. I wasn't going to earlier... but I didn't want his injury to interfere with the plans for your party, Fleur."

"The party... I almost forgot! We should go back to Arcadia and tell them what happened! Oh how wonderful! They could live here with us for awhile, no Roselin to stop us!" Fleur seemed to be speaking to herself.

"Yes, Fleur. You are the head of the castle now. We are all under your command." Hilda stated gracefully. Sora rose onto his fully healed leg and took Fleur in his arms.

"Our problems are over, Fleur. We are free to love and do as we please. I love you." He looked into her eyes. Before waiting for a reply, he pulled her into a passionate kiss which she immediately returned. She brought her hands up to hold his face and he placed his gently on her back. They pulled away and smiled. After a few moments, he scooped her up in his arms.

"Well, are we going to Arcadia or what?" He playfully asked her.

"Of course! Let's go!" She answered, happy that she had no worries any longer.

He whisked her away up the stairs and to her bedroom, where they got the usual things before heading out to Arcadia. The driver was waiting on the gravel road as they bounded out of the front doors and jumped into the carriage.

"To the beach, the pier, please!" Fleur called to the driver. He immediately took off and they were on their way.

After repeating their usual routine of getting to Arcadia, they were once again at the door to the underwater home of Fleur's friends. Kadaj answered the door.

"Fleur! Hey!" He hugged her. "Nice to see you again... but what are you doing here? I thought we were just supposed to-"

"Roselin is gone! She's gone for good!" Kadaj was cut off by Fleur's declaration.

"What? What are you talking about?" He asked, puzzled.

"Sora's killed her! She no longer exists!" Fleur was jumping up and down and smiling like crazy.

"Are you serious? Sora, you did that?" Kadaj asked in disbelief.

"Yea, I did. And I'd do it a million times over again to save Fleur." He stopped her jumping and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. She smiled and nestled in to him as he put his arm around her. Kadaj smiled at this, too, as he finally got to see Fleur be truly happy.

"So where are the others?" Fleur said as she peaked in over Kadaj's shoulder to see an empty living room. Kadaj moved aside and gestured for them to come in.

"They went into town to do some shopping. I'm watching the house."

"Oh, Cloud went too?" She asked, surprised.

"Yea... he says the girls never get him the right kind of snack food, so he has to tag along."

"He's always been like that, huh? Ever since we were little!" Fleur joked. Kadaj laughed heartily and went to the kitchen. He brought back two plates of jinji fruit- one for he and Fleur to share and one for Sora. Sora smiled big and devoured fruit, then rubbing his stomach and thanking Kadaj.

So Fleur explained what had happened and told Kadaj that they were now free to come stay with she and Sora whenever they pleased. They didn't stay long, though, because she wanted to get back to the house and get some things done.

"Sorry we can't stay, Kadaj. We have to go back and run some errands. Tell the others I said hello, and make sure to pop in a surprise us some time! Oh yea, and the party is still scheduled for three days from now. See you then!" She smiled brightly as he showed them out the door.

"We'll be there!" He called after her as they swam off.

Too bad the others missed this news... They'll never believe me when I tell them! Fleur needs to tell them herself... but we won't see her until the party... wait... I have an idea! We can gotomorrow! Sure it's two days early... but she said to surprise her! That's just the genius working... Kadaj mentally thought it out.

Once they got back to the house, it was dark out and getting late. Fleur and Sora both went to bed and experienced the best sleep either of them had ever had. The next morning, Fleur started bright and early with the new plans for the castle.

"Hilda! You are still my lady's maid, but you will now have a room all to yourself on the same level as me. Sholto, you will get a new room as well, but you are being reassigned to help us remodel Roselin's room. We're turning her master suite into the new ball room, since our other ball room is falling apart. Anything useful of hers will be stored in the old ball room. Throw everything else out. Now, lets get to work! Sholto, you and Sora will begin now by getting the things out of Roselin's old room, and putting her old sheets on the floor for painting. Hilda and I will go get new furnishings for the room. We'll cook you a meal when we return. See you in a few hours!" Fleur instructed. She went up to her room and got two sun hats and some money. She gave one of the hats to Hilda and they rung the driver, who took them into town.

On the way there, Hilda seemed overwhelmed, and Fleur decided to talk to her about it.

"Hilda, you seem upset. What's the matter?"

"Nothing at all! I'm just a bit... well... in shock, really. I'm so happy Roselin is gone, and you're treating me so nicely. It's too much, really..."

"Look, Hilda, you are my friend. Don't worry about it! You'll feel better when we get you into your new room. I was also planning on having Yajai fit you for a few new dresses and outfits. How's that sound?" Fleur tried to make her feel better. Hilda smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh Fleur! That sounds just wonderful! I'm so happy!" The two girls hugged tight and Fleur reassured her that everything was changing for the better. Then the carriage stopped, and Fleur and Hilda got out.

"Come on! Let's try and find something to brighten up that musty old room!" Fleur laughed as she grabbed Hilda by the arm and bounded off for the storefronts.

Notes-Yay! I'm so glad about being able to write happier chapters now:) Well, I need some input now... tell me how you think the story is going. Like it? Hate it? Wish you were Fleur? So do I. And also, let me know what color you think the ballroom should end up being painted. The next chapter will be all about the transformation of the room. R+R! Any ideas are welcome!
