Aqua finally became a teenager, and could participate fully in the Jellicle Ball. Demetri had become one of the family, and the two of them were inseperable. During the Jellicle Ball Demetri sat by, and watched Aqua dance. She was so graceful, and she had become more beautiful. Finally the mating dance had found its way through the tribe, and Demetri was with Aqua. The two of them were lying beside each other under the stars. Aqua looked across from her and noticed Sapphire was with Falcon. A few feet from them were Star and Onyx. She cuddled closer to Demetri, and gently nuzzled him.
"I'm glad you left the Majestic's." she whispered.
"I'm glad too." Demetri replied as he nuzzled her.
Munkustrap and Demeter were sitting a few feet away when they noticed Aqua and Demetri. Munkustrap gave a small smile, and looked at Demeter.
"You were right." he said.
"About what?" she asked, confused.
"He would sacrifice everything for her, and she loves him."
"At least we know she will be taken care of, and that he loves her." Demeter said. Munkustrap nodded, and looked back at his daughter and her mate. The two of them reminded him so much of what had happened to him all those years ago. He smiled once more then nuzzled Demeter.
Demetri looked at Aqua to find she had fallen fast asleep. He gave her a gentle nuzzle then fell asleep beneath the glimmering stars and moon.
