"I'm telling you, Eve, you'll feel so much better after this," a enthusiastic Tooth Fairy reassured as she measured Eve's waist, writing down the numbers onto a sheet of paper along with the rest of the list of random measurements.

Eve sighed. "I know, I know. It's just... it's going to be weird, you know? I haven't taken this dress off since I woke up in that clearing," Eve spoke softly. The forest spirit felt a strange attachment to the dress, despite her reasons for owning it.

The white, silky lace dress was given to her by her abusive fiancee in her past life. William had tried to marry Eve for so long in order to obtain her family's riches. When Eve's little brother grew ill, the young girl had no other choice but to marry the horrible tavern-owner in turn for his help in healing Eve's brother. She was then given this dress to wear, and was later on killed in it.

Although the dress obviously carried terrible memories that needed to be shed, Eve didn't want to rid herself of it. The dress was the only thing she had from her past life. True, she had her amulet, but it has been touched by her new life so much that it was barely a token of what she once was, anymore. Her amulet was a symbol her new life, since it provides her with her powers and is intertwined with Jack's powers as well.

Eve's past life was awful... so why did she want to remember it? Perhaps because she didn't want to forget what she worked so hard to get through, Eve supposed. She didn't want to forget her sacrifices and her bravery. She wanted to remember the time when she was human. When she had a family and normal human problems such as loss and starvation and struggle. These painful memories were all she was. They were what made her who she is today.

"There we go," Tooth spoke as she straightened up, smiling at Eve with content in her bright facial features. "Now all I have to do is get these measurements to Aria and everything will be done!"

Eve forced a smile. It was nice of Toothiana and Aria (the seamstress spirit) to help her through this. The forest spirit knew she couldn't have done it on her own. Tooth had even created a design for Eve's new dress. The only hint she gave the forest spirit on the dress's appearance was that it would resemble Snow White. Eve could only pray that it wouldn't be as colorful as Tooth's own attire.

Tooth put her tiny hands on Eve's shoulders and looked the red-cloaked girl in the eyes. "It's going to be great. I promise. Just let me take care of things, okay?"

Eve nodded and relaxed her shoulders as she hugged the Guardian of Memories, drawing her close. "Thanks Tooth. I don't know how I'm going to repay you," Eve admitted with a laugh.

Pulling away, Tooth rolled her eyes. "Getting rid of that terrible wedding dress is how. Also, you need to start wearing that hair clip I gave you! Red would look so good in your hair, especially with your new dress," Tooth noted with a smile.

Laughing, Eve admitted defeat. "Alright, alright, the dress will be disposed of."

Hands on her hips, Tooth smiled slyly. "Good. I'll be back soon"

And she was gone in a flash.

A knock on Eve's door interrupted her from her cleaning. "I'll be right there!" Eve called out as she set aside her broom and made her way to the door. When she opened it, she was greeted by the sight of a very excited Tooth holding a gold box.

A smile lit the Guardian of Memorie's face. "It's ready!" She exclaimed, handing Eve the box. "Let's get you into it," she ordered as she flew into Eve's cottage.

Smiling to herself, Eve closed the door behind her and walked over to Tooth- who was now opening the box. The fairy pulled out a silky fabric and her smile grew wider. "Oh, Eve! Look at this dress! Hurry, put it on and let me help you fasten it!" Tooth instructed as she handed Eve the soft and silky material.

Eve complied, slipping out of her white dress once Tooth had turned around, and pulling on her new one. It was much more comfortable than Eve's wedding dress, and it fit her like it were her own skin. The fabric was gentle against her, and Eve could already tell she'd love it. Once Eve had pulled on the dress all the way, she called for Tooth who helped tie the dress and adjust it.

Once she was done, Toothiana backed away and covered her mouth with her dainty hands, a smile wrinkling her tear-filled eyes. "Eve... you look beautiful!" Tooth exclaimed.

Fighting away the warmth in her cheeks, Eve smiled softly as she walked to her full-length mirror. When she saw her dress, Eve couldn't contain her happiness. The dress was a royal blue that made Eve's eyes shine, and at the waist of the dress was a silky yellow ribbon. Eve's dress was short sleeved, the neckline an off the shoulder fashion- the yellow sleeves hugged Eve's arm, and were embroidered with red ribbon. The skirt of Eve's dress hugged Eve's legs and swayed along with her movement. The hem of the dress was yellow and red, and ended right below Eve's ankle just so it barely touched the ground, exposing the forest spirit's bare feet. Toothiana had wanted to get shoes made for Eve, but the raven-haired girl had stubbornly declined her offer. "Thank you, Tooth... thank you so much," Eve whispered as she turned around to face her friend. A smile growing on her lips, Eve hugged the older Guardian. "I love it so much!" She exclaimed as she pulled away to smile at the fairy.

Tooth was still smiling like a child on Christmas. "Turn around! Model it for me, I wanna see how it looks!"

Eve obliged, twirling around in her new dress as the skirt swooshed among her legs. When she stopped, the forest spirit giggled. "It's amazing! It's so soft and comfy and Tooth it's beautiful!"

"And you look outstanding in it," Tooth complimented, gushing over the new dress. "I did pretty good!" Tooth remarked, hands on her hips as Eve laughed.

"You did, indeed," she agreed, grasping her skirt and swishing it happily. Eve never thought she'd be one to get excited over things like clothes. She was quite shocked with her own reaction.

Tooth grabbed Eve's discarded cloak from her bed and held it to her chest, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Now for the last test. Let's see if the cloak agrees," Toothiana spoke in a serious tone as she flew behind Eve, fastening on the soft red fabric.

Once Eve's cloak was put securely on, Tooth flew in front of the forest spirit, observing her attire. With a smile, Tooth put two thumbs up. "It passes the test! They're great! Look in the mirror!" Tooth urged Eve, pulling her by her arm towards the mirror.

When Eve saw her familiar cloak she smiled. This dress was hers, now. The cloak was definitely the final touch, and now this dress had "Eve" written all over it.

And Eve realized that she would no longer miss her white dress. She was ready to discard that memory and move on.

Walking over to the chair Eve had slung her old dress on, she picked it up, turning it this way and that in her hands as she ran fingers over the fabric. Eve turned to face Tooth, looking the Guardian straight in her purple eyes. "Let's take care of this," she spoke, feeling her heart squeeze in her chest.

Nodding, Tooth walked over to the fireplace in Eve's cottage, lighting it up. "I'm way ahead of you."

Once the fire was lit, Eve walked over to it and gazed into the bright flames. It beckoned to her, drew her closer, and she could almost hear it whisper in her ear. It's time to move on. It's time to let go.

With one deep breath, Eve tossed the white dress into the burning flames that ate at the fabric hungrily, turning it into ashes.

Tooth put a hand on Eve's shoulder, reminding Eve that she did not need her past life. It doesn't matter if it didn't go the way she wanted. Because now Eve had a second chance. Now Eve can make her own story... and it can go any way she wants it to.

Lifting her head up as she stared at her aflame memories, Eve let the past slip away.

Take that William, you bastard.

I felt like this had to be done. Eve's past hasn't really been covered too much, so I'm gonna be putting a bunch of one-shots of her past life so you guys can connect to her character more and understand her. n_n i think that readers need to have strong bonds with the characters of the stories they read. It's that strong connection that makes a book so entrancing and life-like.

Sooo yes. That is that.

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR FOLLOWING AND STUFF :D I'm so so so so so so glad you guys are giving such positive results to this sequel! I'm definitely going to continue writing it now that I feel like it has its purpose, haha n_n

I love you my beautiful readers!

Look forward to Bunnymund/Eve bonding time next chapter! :D Weeeee

Goodbye, lovelies!~
