Remaining Friends

When Jade got to the lake, she found Ruby packing her mother's teapot and teacups in her picnic basket and Lucinda folding her mother's picnic blanket, their tea party was over.

"What's going on, Jade?" Lucinda asked.

"I just came by to tell you that I won't be seeing you much around Dunwitty," Jade told Ruby and Lucinda. "because I'm moving to Wuton effective immediately, my parents got sent there."

"We'll still see you around Hexley Hall, right?" Ruby asked Jade.

"And Sofia, Dorrie, Candice, and I will see you around Royal Prep on Fridays, right, Jade?" Lucinda asked, she was worried.

"Of course! We will always remain friends, our belongings will be on the flying coach while my family, our servants, and I will be departing Enchancia by ship at sundown this evening." Jade told Ruby and Lucinda.

"Well, Jade," Ruby said. "it'll be sundown soon."

"Oh shoot," Jade exclaimed. "I need to be at the wharf! Mom and Dad are waiting for me!"

Skywind landed at Jade's side.

"Do you need a lift, Jade?" Skywind asked.

"Yes I do, Skywind." Jade replied, climbing onto his back.

"Where to?" Skywind asked Jade.

"To the wharf, Skywind," Jade answered. "and hurry!"

"You got it, Jade!" Skywind called.

Skywind took off for the Enchancia Warf with Jade upon his back.

At the warf, Liang was getting anxious.

"Where is Jade?" Liang asked Emma.

"She should be along soon, Liang, don't worry." Emma said.

"I hope you're right, Emma." Liang said.

Suddenly, Skywind landed on the wharf's dock as Jade climbed off of his back.

"I'm here!" Jade exclaimed.

Jade then looked at the stern expression on her father's face.

"You are late, Jade." Liang said firmly.

"But Dad, I..." Jade began.

"None of your excuses, Jade," Liang scolded sharply. "our ship will set sail soon!"

"Can I at least say good bye to Skywind first?" Jade asked

"There really is no need for you to say good bye to Skywind, Jade," Emma said lovingly. "he knows the Ever Realm like the back of his wings."
