Ok, guys! Last chapter! *insert whoop of delight here* I'm so glad to be finally FINISHED this thing!

Sapphire and Joey are mine. The rest is Disney's.

1 ½ weeks later

"Well, Sapphire, you wounds are almost fully healed, scabbed up at least. You're good to start doing more strenuous stuff now." The female duck peeled away the last of the bandages on her arm and Sapphire rubbed the tender skin that had covered one of her bullet wounds.

"Thanks, Daisy," She stretched her stiff wings, then folded them again. For the past 1 ½ weeks that she'd been recuperating, Sapphire had had nothing to do but practice her magic and explore the castle and the grounds.

My new home. The thought felt good as it tickled her mind.

She and Mickey had been having magic lessons every day and the teen now knew how to harness her magic, although she couldn't say she was very good at it. There were plenty of singed hedges in the garden (which was the only relatively safe place to practice) as result of her clumsy ways. Even so, she could meet up with Disney characters now without the fear of stealing their powers now.

And she did meet up with Disney characters. A LOT! People came from all over to visit her. She was tagged as friendly and funny and people immediately liked her. Some were mad about her taking their abilities, but a heart-felt apology was the only thing needed to set that straight.

Donald's girlfriend left Sapphire and Joey and they were alone for a minute. Sapphire used that minute to rub Joey's stomach while he panted contentedly.

The doors swung open again and Mickey came in. "Time for your lesson."

The brown haired girl extended her speckled wings and, with a powerful down stroke, somersaulted over Mickey's head and landed behind him.

"Then let's GO, slowpoke!"

Sapphire sprinted ahead of Mickey and Joey, bursting outside to the gardens with an energy she hadn't felt in over a week. She flew up, enjoying the evening sun and getting familiar again with her unused wings. She hadn't been able to fly during her recovery and she'd missed it terribly. Now that she'd tasted flight, it was hard to imagine what she'd done without it.

"Hey, Saph! Get down here!" Mickey called from the ground. Sapphire glided gently down, hovering just above Mickey's head, taunting him.

"Come up here and get me."

But, after teasing them for a bit, she lighted down in front of them, grinning. "You need to learn how to fly, Mick."

"Maybe I need to immobilize your wings for a bit, Saph." The mouse shot back.

"Maybe we should just get onto practice."

"Maybe you're right."

"Maybe you should both shut up and get the magic flowing." Joey piped up from his position near the wall. He was only permitted to watch if he stayed behind it as to not get hit with off course magic orbs.

Mickey and Sapphire laughed, but quickly got onto practice. They only stopped when Mickey was drained from showing things over and over again and Sapphire's head ached from so much concentration.

Mickey and Joey went inside to eat, but Sapphire lingered for a moment. Then, she flew onto the roof and sat on a tower, green eyes searching the kingdom. Across the stone wall circling the castle, there was a small village where the lesser townspeople lived. Beyond that was the next world, Tarzan. To her left was Lady and the Tramp, to the right was Pocahontas, and The Princess and the Frog behind her.

Sapphire smiled. The orangey-red sunset illuminated the kingdom. She was surrounded by Disney, one of the things she truly loved. I can't believe I'm actually here.

But she was. And she loved it. She imagined spending the rest of her life living in this very castle and she was filled with happiness.

"Saaaaaaaaaaaapphire!" The teen looked down when she heard the (recognizable) voice of Donald. He was scampering among the hedge maze, obviously looking for her.

She glided down and poked his head. "Poor Donald. He can't fly."

"Curfew. Come back inside."

He led her to the door and went in. Before disappearing inside, she looked back at the setting sun.

Goodnight, Disney.

And she followed Donald into the Disney Castle.

END

This chapter certainly lives up to its name. I am the MASTER of cheesy endings! ;)

Anyhow, hoped you guys enjoyed it. I'll probably be making shorter stories of Sapphire and the rest of them in the future. (The FAR future...)
