After he teleported, Witch Princess couldn't help but cackle. "Well, if he doesn't want to tell me, there's two sides to this story…" She got up and pranced to her tent where Molly was sitting, face down and with her arms held together. "You look upset." Molly gasped a little, looked up, and saw Witch Princess at her tent door. "No, I'm fine."

"Bullocks. You can't hide anything from me. Now tell me what happened."

"It really isn't that interesting."

"Bul-locks."

Molly respired, and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes! Now tell me already!"

"Fine. It isn't that long of a story anyway."

Wizard was at the beach, trying his best to focus on catching fish, but something was off. Every time he tried to lift one, it would wriggle out of his invisible grasp and swim away. He groaned after his third failed attempt, and plopped down in front of a tree. "I don't know what I was thinking." He knew he couldn't quite catch because he was distracted. He decided the best way to get past this was to confront it, as he had done with memories before. Where would he begin?

"Well, it started when he led me to the tent, when you were controlling Pascal. He laid me down onto my bed, and began doing some magic stuff."

"Probably trying to bring his medical studying to some practical use."

"He's done well with it. Remember what happened at the first campsite?"

"I try not to, but please, continue."

"Anyway, he explained that…"

He remembered explaining that all the mind fusing affected her body functions since her brain tried to shut down. "I'm healing those functions… because your brain was not able to help them." Molly said, "I see." Even if she did not, it was okay as he was just trying to heal. "You know, you have been—oh my goodness that feels good." He chuckled.

"Did you actually say that, Molly?" Molly emphasized, "It did! He explained that it was dead tissue in my legs being reformed." Witch Princess seemed unsure of that, but said, "Well, whatever. What happened next?" Molly continued, "Well, I continued with saying that he's been really good about everything. Both of you have these incredible powers, and he's practically brought me back to life, twice, then there's just…"

"…me." Wizard recounted. "What do you mean… just you?" Molly sighed and said, "There's nothing really special about me." Wizard replied, "Don't say that. You've done… some incredible things… even before we left. I…I still remember the cave."

"The cave?" Witch Princess asked excitedly, "What cave?!" Molly giggled a little and answered, "We climbed up Mt. Garmon together because we needed to see the Harvest King and he couldn't teleport because his magic is screwy with minerals in it." Witch Princess eagerly continued to listen. "He said that he remembered when after the Plague attacked us the first time, and we were in the mine together, he said I was determinate, that I was strong, that he felt useless in there too, and remembered that the only thing that stopped me was poison."

"I don't know why you would think that, Wizard," he recounted Molly saying, "if it weren't for you when that gas hit me, we wouldn't be talking." Wizard countered with, "If it wasn't for me…that gas wouldn't have hit you. I… distracted you." A little time passed before she said, "It wasn't your fault." He continued, "Even from then… theoretically… having your mind fused twice should have killed you. It didn't… because you've been incredible too." He looked her in the eyes, "You've been amazing… ever since you came to Castanet. You've… been a positive force of change… for Castanet. You strengthened our fire… brought back our wind… calmed the seas… you awoke the Harvest King… and restored the Goddess' tree. You saved our island, Molly… and even beyond that… you shouldn't have been able to see a Fugue Mushroom… the Goddess thinks you helped her back… Molly, you are amazing, and confident, and strong…" He felt like an idiot now for doing this, but at the time it felt right to touch her cheek, "… and you never needed magic… to be who you are… the best kind of person, Molly."

"And then, things felt magical. His hand was warm, my heart was fluttering… it only felt right to come closer and… and…"

"Smooch him!"

Molly blushed, and her heart was beating with embarrassment. "And then I came in, and ruined everything!"

"You shouldn't worry about it, Witch Princess."

"Worry about it? I'm glad I did it. I don't need you two playing kissy-face to distract us from our mission. But if I'm ever gone again… I guess I can't really stop you."

"I don't need this, Witch Princess."

"Ha! Well, anyway, where's lover boy with the food? He should have been done catching our food by now." She teleported out of the tent, and Molly was left to her own devices.

Winter passed since that moment. They spent it trying to help Kevin with Alan's rainbow. The hardest part was the wood fish; although they were directly at the stump, it took time for Kevin to assuage the bears' assurances so they could let him in. Even after that, it was hardest to help him catch the wood fish. They could only come out at night, and most nights, Kevin could not show up. It was most likely due to the pressures of his farm, a feeling of which Molly could easily relate. The rest of the time was spent with the three of them partaking in some of the festivals that Waffle Island had to offer. They found some of their traditions were not unlike Castanet's. For example, the Starry Night festival was a favorite to go to, mostly because of the star part. Witch Princess refused to do anything with mortals involved, but the Starry Night festival was Wizard's favorite event, and so Molly and he went together, herself cloaked. They watched from the tree next to Alan's flower, and found that shooting stars were not so common like they were in Castanet, but it didn't matter. The fact was he enjoyed this festival, and most of all, loved that for once, he could spend it with company. When the New Year's Eve festival came about, the two of them went to the beach after all three of them had a great dinner. They decided to settle for the beach to watch the sunset come.

"Do you have a resolution, Molly?"

"I think so. My resolution… is to be quicker with missions, so I can go home."

Wizard chuckled at this and replied, "I think that's a good one to make."

"What about yours?"

"I make the same one every year: make more discoveries."

Molly smiled. The feeling that came a season ago was back, but it didn't seem right to make him go through that again. The only problem with that logic was that he wanted to as well, but once again, they were interrupted.

"Come on, you two, it's almost six o'clock."

She sighed, and asked, "Care to return to the campsite?"

Wizard hesitated, "Maybe after a few more moments. I like this tranquil setting right now."

And so they sat, continuing to watch it rise. The ocean continued its calm pulse, and the sun came right on time to brighten the horizon.
