Chapter 48 Forgiveness is Something We Don't Deserve

The song for this Chapter is actually Secret base, the theme song used in the dramatic anime Ano Hana.

Timmy's room 6:00 pm

Timmy is now seen staring at the window of his room, thinking deeply of the mistakes he has done. His tears are already dry from all the crying he has done earlier, but the guilt he is feeling is very great. Cosmo, Wanda and Poof are watching on the sidelines…

Tootie's room 6:00 pm

In the same manner, Tootie de Leslie is also staring on the window. Tired from all the tears she had shed of, she really can't remove the hurt she is dealing with. She tried to remember the happy memories she has with Timmy, but all of those are fading away…

Trixie's room 6:00 pm

At the same time, Trixie was staring at the window. She is trying to not show her emotions out. However, her tears are just rolling down, hurt at the disappointing attitude she has learned from Timmy. At that moment, the rain begins to drip as if the weather is following the sorrow they are feeling.

On Timmy's room…

"Look Wanda, I made the rain fall to make the scene more dramatic!" Cosmo said. Wanda just slaps him.

"Cosmo, this is not time for jokes!" Wanda said. Timmy is now thinking of all the mistakes and the consequences that are done due to his selfish wishes. He has just realized on how true the mysterious Lion said to him about his mistakes.

Tootie was thinking on how much he hated Trixie and on how Timmy could betray her. However, for some unknown reason, it's the compassion towards her that made her cry all the more. She wanted to hate them, but she just can't. Mixed emotions can't make a thing on what she has to do. She is now saying "Why is this happening? Why…"

Trixie is also somewhat disappointed that that feeling to forget Timmy is not easy for her. She even begins to doubt what kind of feeling she has towards him. She can't decide which is which… even she can't do anything at all… however, she also thought of the consequences of thinking… all she wanted right now is peace, the peace to her now-troubled heart that is aimlessly looking for answers.

Timmy noticed that two persons suddenly appeared on his back. He looked behind and saw a teenage girl who wears an outfit of an adventurer and a weird male with a very unusually tall hair.

Trixie heard her uncle Yao knocking on the door. Among all the persons she could talk to, it will be him, as a country, who would know how to manage her very young emotions.

Tootie noticed a very strong presence right behind her. It was that of a compassionate Lamb that just appeared out of nowhere in her room. What is more mysterious is that this Lamb seems to have a reason why it's here.

"Who are you?" Timmy suddenly asks them both.

"I'm actually Hokkaido Nihon…" the tall bonnet-hated guy said "…and this is here is Misty Waterflower and we are here to talk with you."

"Why do you want to talk to me, this is not the right time…" Timmy said. He then looks down and continued…"I did a very great mistake of hurting perhaps the only real friends I could actually get."

"Perhaps that's the reason why I have to talk to you…" Misty said.

Trixie immediately hugs China is a very tender embrace. China was somewhat surprise with that, but he willingly accepted.

"Trixie, what's wrong?" China asks her.

"Please Uncle Yao…" Trixie said "…please, you're the only person that I could talk to…"

"I have felt what you are feeling little girl…" the Lamb suddenly spoke up, which surprised Tootie the most. Tootie was going to freak out but she can't because of the loving aura the Lamb is giving out "…I, myself, have felt the feeling of not forgiving someone due to what he or she has done…"

"What do you mean with that…" Tootie immediately replied. Her voice turned to sadness and said "…that person or animal you said is not the same as what I feel…"

"Actually, I do… but I'm telling you something. The greatest love someone would give is the ability to forgive. I'm telling you this… Love is patient and it is also kind, it cannot be showing any signs of jealousness or any sense of pride. It can never show any signs of selfish and it will never bear a grudge. It will never delight in the works of sin but rather follows the path of Truth and Righteousness. Most especially, love will never give up…" the Lamb said "…this is the true qualities of real love. I'm telling you, young girl, that the kind of love said here is not how the world dictates it but rather on how heaven created it."

"But, Timmy never returned my love back! In fact he and that bratty girl betrayed me!" Tootie immediately replied.

"I know how you are feeling but that is not what I'm talking about…" the Lamb said "…the kind of love I am saying is something that compasses all understanding, and only those who have understood what that love is are the once who are able to give it away. If you have time, I will tell you what that is…"

Trixie talked with China everything that she learned about Timmy and how she hated twice more than how she loved him before. China knew the consequences of this one, especially to world security. He has to explain it in a way that Trixie would immediately understand.

"Actually…" China started to talk "… perhaps this came for a reason-aru… can't you think of setting aside romance for a while and instead, focus on becoming friends? You have saw all the things he has done wrong, but maybe it was done to let you know that you must be friends instead right?"

"Yes Uncle Yao…" Trixie said "… but it's very hard to forget all those times that I have feeling for Timmy…"

"But instead of channeling that to romance, why don't you channel it into friendship-aru?"

"Channel it to friendship?"

"Based on several things I know as an adviser, sometimes, what you feel doesn't correspond to what you really perceive because of what your heart is telling-aru. Maybe all along, you admire him because you want to be friends with him-aru. It is because…"

"Uncle Yao, thanks…" Trixie said "…perhaps your advice is very helpful…"

"Don't worry-aru…" China smiled. At that moment, he noticed that Trixie was gone.

"Where did she go-aru?" China reacted.

"I don't know if ever I will be forgiven Misty…" Timmy said to the girl "…unlike you, who make responsible wishes, I made more harm than good…"

"But that's not my point here." Misty replied "What I am telling is that forgiveness is something we don't deserve, but it is something that was given to us as a gift, all we have to do is to receive it. After all that we have done, when someone forgives us, it means that that person is saying that he or she loves even if you have done the worse mistakes in your life. If ever…"

At that moment, Timmy heard a voice in his head, more probably form Trixie.

"Timmy, Tootie, Dogwood Tree in Dimmsdale park…"

"I think I have to leave…" Timmy said.

"Wait, but I still didn't…" Timmy just went out. He just went out, forgetting that he has fairies once again.

"Job well done…" Shinnoh said.

"But I still haven't said the only thing that would strengthen their bond!" Misty replied.

"Which is…"

"Tootie…" the Lamb said. "I'm telling to you a story so that you will understand how forgiveness is showed…"

"Alright…"

"There was a kingdom and the king is trying to find a queen in his kingdom. In fact, he found one and they got married. However, the queen was not satisfied to the love the king gave her but instead, she left the kingdom and found a man, an ambitious beggar who wanted to become the next king. Due to his words of flattery, the beggar won the queen's heart. The queen gave herself to him, thinking that he will give him the real love she is looking for. However, the beggar only wanted to use her for his purposes of ruling the kingdom.

"On the other hand, the king was worried to the actions of his queen. However, he loves her so much that whatever she asks, he gives away to him. However, time and time again, his servants are telling him that the queen is becoming unfaithful and is actually mustering a rebellion headed by the now-powerful leader, the former beggar. The king did not listen at all but instead still gives the queen whatever she asks, even a part of his kingdom.

"The queen was surprised on how the beggar-turned-nobleman treats his servants harshly, unlike the faithful and kind king. In fact, there are times that she is frequently battered by the former beggar because she didn't give him the enough support he needed. This is something the king is also well aware, but the king just loves her so much that he even took care of her personally.

"That is until the rebellion started. The queen finally leaves the king due to the threat of the nobleman. The king was deeply saddened and he now decided to muster and defeat the rebellion and their leader was now arrested. The rebellion was indeed crushed. But the soldiers have found the queen in servant's clothes, full of dirt and soot. An adviser asked that she be executed. Even the former queen demanded death on herself due to her unfaithfulness and her way of supporting the rebellion financially…"

"But what did the king do?" Tootie suddenly asks the Lamb.

"The king stood up, knelt before the queen, and hugged her, saying that he has already forgiven her. He then called one of his servants to have one of his best tailors make a very beautiful white gown and a crown be put to her…"

"But he did all those things that threatened him!' Tootie replied.

"And that is how real love and forgiveness work…" the Lamb said "…let me tell you this… the woman represents you and the king represents the King of all Creation. However, since your heart is not yet ready, I'll let you find the answer if you are willing to seek the king."

At that moment, Tootie receives Trixie's invitation.

"I think I have to go there…" Tootie said. "What's your name, Mr. Lamb?"

"You will know when the time comes." The Lamb replied "However, I want you to talk to Arthur regarding this conversation." At that moment, Tootie went out of the room and rushes outside.

Timmy ensured the rain is no longer falling thru wishing and the beautiful full moon of hope is shining. The three of them runs towards the park bearing the new insights they have. At this moment, China followed Trixie, so is Misty following Timmy. Trixie, Timmy, and Tootie stopped right in front of the Dogwood tree. All of them are tired. China decided to hide in a nearby bush, so is Misty and Shinnoh.

"What are you doing here-aru!" China shouted, but not enough to make the three notice them.

"We went to talk to Timmy…" Misty replied.

The three just watched the three kids in front of them. The kids are waiting, waiting for the moment to say something.

"Timmy…" Trixie first spoke up "… perhaps I'm considering the feelings I have for you…"

"Yeah, me too…" Timmy replied "…actually, I'm here to say… please forgive me… Trixie, for kissing you and for making all those crazy selfish wishes... and Tootie for not even taking a look at what you feel. Sorry for being selfish and for…"

"Timmy, since when did I kissed you?" Trixie suddenly asks.

"Long story…" Tootie replied "…but whatever that is, Timmy, Trixie, I'm sorry for overreacting early…"

"Wait, but I never remember you overreacting." Timmy replied.

"Perhaps I'm the one who should ask for forgiveness…" Trixie said "…Timmy, I'm so very sorry for treating you more as a lover than a true friend. And for hurting you Tootie, if ever I could remember that I actually kissed Timmy…"

"Wait, you didn't know?" Tootie immediately replied.

"Of course how I would I know about that!" Trixie said.

"Alright, enough of that…" Timmy said "…but please forgive…"

"We forgive you!" the two girls replied.

"Thanks guys!" At that moment, the three cuddled to join in a group hug. However…

A blinding flash came all around them and everyone, including China, Misty and Shinnoh, notices Sector CL2 picturing them in a camera.

"Nice work Isabella…" the leader of Sector CL2 said "… now we have enough evidence to calm Arthur down."

"Phineas, I have to admit something…" Immediately, she noticed the camera on his hand missing.

"WHAT! WHERE DID IT…"

"Never mind about that…" Phineas replied. "…well, Ferb, call Sector V and the countries that they are all ok…"

Meanwhile, the three wand wielders noticed that their wands are lighting up much more powerfully. Upon noticing this, the three noticed that the wands turned to their original forms in their hands and seems to instruct them to point it to the sky. The three immediately followed and a very bright light shone up. The light went towards the Blue Moon and made a reflection upon returning to earth in front of them, a very short passage on something.

"Unto the Darkness the Light shone thru…" Timmy first reads it.

"Revealing the Light that will give mankind's path…" Tootie reads it next.

"The Unveiling Truth is in your hands…" Trixie followed.

"And thus, begins your journey of your lifetime…" all of them reads the last line in sync.

At that moment, Britain noticed a very bright star on the sky, a star that only someone like him could see.

"They did it!" Britain commented "They passed the third trial!"

"That's very good of them." Buck said.

"I have to talk to everyone regarding the next phase…" Britain said "…and to plan their equipment…"

Meanwhile in Virginia…

"The star of hope… it's shining once again…" a hooded black figure said.

"So, grandmaster, you really are knowledgeable on how to read the stars…" Father immediately replied beside him.

"So, finished on the delightfulization of our trump card?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now that a piece in now on place, let's see on what surprises we could do. My agents are going to deliver the weapons we have. Just make sure we make a very good show on our attack…"
