The end is here :( Prompt thanks to GwennyDee. Thanks to everyone who offered prompts and pairings. So…the poll question is whether or not I should expand on one of the chapters and make it a story or if I should do another series of one-shots, but this time based off of holiday themes. Hope you enjoy. Disclaimer: I do not own Bloodlines or the characters associated with it.

Zoo

Adrian had never been to a zoo. Neither had any of the other Moroi and Dhampirs Sydney knew. It hadn't taken her long to formulate a plan to change that. Going to the zoo had always been a childhood experience Sydney'd looked forward to. She wanted so desperately to share the experience she'd jumped at the idea when presented.

It was fate really that they went on the day they did. It was near the end of September and Hopper would be leaving soon, but he was still happy and Jill was back so they'd gone. Angeline wanted to ride nearly everything they saw while Adrian was at the opposite spectrum and wanted to sketch the animals up close. They were reminded several times that yes, the animals bite and no, you can't go in the cages. The day was long, but overcast, and plenty of fun.

The group stuffed themselves with zoo food and looked at every animal possible. It was obvious to see who liked which animal best. Adrian liked the clouded leopards best, Jill the jelly fish, Angeline the birds, Rose the tigers, Neil the pandas, Eddie the golden lion tamarin, Dimitri the wolves, and Lissa prairie dog. Sydney enjoyed watching their reactions all while keeping Hopper under control.

It was a nice day. A good one for the memory books. It was two weeks before the Alchemists decided Sydney wasn't worth it and let her go. Three weeks before Jill decided she wanted to stay in Palm Springs. One week before Sydney's mom and Carly were brought to Court. It was perfect.

Okay, wanted a happy one for the end. Remember to PM me with the answer to the question in the above AN. Good-bye for now.
