Ella was thrown into a spiraling fit of sadness after Ian left her life forever; but oddly enough, Ian wasn't the one she was always thinking about. All she really thought about was her father, Edward; she hadn't seen him or even got near him once since she returned to the mansion and he had never seen her. Edward stayed downstairs while Ella stayed upstairs, they were too afraid to confront each other.
A few days had passed since that fateful Christmas Eve; Edward had never known what really became of his enigma of a daughter, but he believed that he would meet her soon… and Ella believed that she would meet him too.
One cool evening, Edward was walking through the garden, his mind still reeling about Ella. After a few minutes of quiet thinking, he suddenly heard a strange, unfamiliar, and beautiful voice singing from somewhere unknown.
"Father cannot guide you" The voice sang.
"Now we're on our own
Only me beside you
Still, you're not alone
No one is alone, truly
No one is alone"
"That voice… I don't know it." Edward said before going back into the castle and up the stairs towards the attic.
When he reached the top of the stairs, Edward saw Ella herself standing in front of the large broken window where Amanda had fallen to her death, staring at the dark sky with tears falling from her eyes.
'Is it her?' He thought.
"Father isn't here now" She continued.
"Who knows what he'd say?"
Edward realized something; she was the one who was singing.
"Nothing's quite so clear now
Feel I've lost my way?
You decide, but
You are not alone
Believe me
No one is alone
Truly
People make mistakes
Fathers, mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes
Neighbors can be right
Bullies can be good
You decide what's right
You decide what's good
Just remember
Someone is on your side"
"Our side" Edward sang as he slowly shuffled towards her.
"Our side" Ella continued, not seeming to notice the new voice.
"Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side"
"Our side" Edward sang again.
"Our side"
Ella finally noticed the voice and her eyes widened; she glanced to her right to see Edward standing right beside her. Her eyes widened as the two met each other's gaze; they both continued to sing together.
"Maybe we forgot" They sang.
"They are not alone
No one is alone
Someone is on your side
No one is alone"
Ella and Edward looked deep into each other's eyes for what felt like hours; she slowly put her arms on his shoulders as he rested his arms on her hips. They blinked at each other.
"Ella…?" He asked.
"F… Father?" She said hopefully.
They excitedly smiled at each other before Edward picked Ella up off of the floor and he began to spin her around in circles while they shared a hug. They laughed and cried with joy as they continued to spin around the floor.
Before she came down here, it hadn't snowed in years. And afterwards, it did. If she weren't up there now, some people wouldn't be sure if it would be snowing. Sometimes, people could hear strange happy laughter and beautiful singing from somewhere unknown as if it was coming from heaven itself; sometimes they would even dance along with it in the mysterious flurries. And even though he knew that he would never see her again, Ian Kyle knew that Ella Scissorhands was where she belonged and she was finally happy… and complete.
