A/N: Welcome to the final chapter of this part of the trilogy. Contains Frank/Nation (Whoever thought of those two as a couple?) Miracle/OC, and more! Read & Review and see you for part three!

While the others went to the park, Cosmo was pondering whether to call Miracle or not. He really liked her, but he felt too old for someone her age. He kicked his legs on his bed, then jolted once he heard the phone ring. He turned, the phone ringing again, releasing a sharp sigh. "Okay, be cool..." he told himself and went to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Uh, hello? Is Cosmo there, please?" Miracle asked, not recognizing his voice at first on the phone.

Cosmo gulped once Miracle's voice was on the other line. He then cleared his throat and spoke in his normal voice. "This is Cosmo speaking." he answered, shutting the door as Ricky chased Laura seductively.

"Hi, Cosmo," Miracle blushed slightly, twisting the phone cord with her finger. "How are you?"

"Fine, you?" Cosmo asked, his face turning bright red as he fiddled with his glasses nervously.

"Missing you and vondering vhen I can come visit you..." Miracle then dropped her voice, remembering what she talked with her mother about. "And also curious as to vhether the Transylvanian sign vorks..."

"Why don't you come by tomorrow afternoon? I won't have to do anything since Nation and Laura want to get their nails done..." Cosmo chuckled friendly.

"I'd like that." Miracle's voice almost sounded like a person in love, which she was becoming fast toward Cosmo McKinley.

"I'll be here." Cosmo grinned, eagerly. 'You still got it, old sport', he thought to himself.

"So, I'll come by tomorrow," Miracle let out a soft giggle. Inside there were butterflies in her stomach and she almost squirmed in excitement.

"How about 2ish? Nation likes to get her nails done in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll be there, see you tomorrow, luv...I love you!" Miracle quickly hung up, the affection had slipped from her lips.

"See you tomorrow," Cosmo smirked, catching the 'love you'. "You're not so bad yourself."

Miracle blushed and nervously giggled. "Bye, Cosmo..." she quickly hung up, but in a gentle way, even though she was embarrassed.

"See ya, Miracle." Cosmo eventually hung up, feeling proud of himself.

Miracle looked at her door, as she had made an arrangement that she had wanted to make, she opened the door. Magenta had softly knocked. "Dinner is ready if you vant any."

"Vhat is it?" Miracle asked.

"I have experimented vith a recipe for a roast." Magenta replied, like she were discussing a wild animal she had killed for dinner.

"Okay, Mom," Miracle said, finally weighing down the pros and cons of that dinner. "Just a small plate, okay?"

"Of course, dearest." Magenta smiled, then walked down to get dinner for her and her family.

Miracle smiled a little, following her mother. She had on some soft slippers on so she wouldn't have to wear heels to dinner. Her thoughts, however, kept drifting to Cosmo. Miracle went to the dining room, after all it was the most suitable place to eat. She twirled a bit of her hair around her finger as she rested her chin on her fist.

"Miracle's going to be having some porked roast with us." Magenta said to Riff with a smile, as she served up her plate.

Riff Raff smiled slightly at his sister. "Good,"

Magenta scooped up only half a serving for Miracle and gently handed the plate to Miracle, placing it in front of her. "I actually quite like carrots and potatoes, it's these tomatoes I'm not fond of." Magenta said as she put some vegetables on Riff's plate. Magenta engaged in conversation with Riff as they ate. They were unaware of their daughter's new feelings toward her distant cousin, and managed normally. Most of their conversation was fading to Miracle as she was in another world. Riff Raff replied to Magenta in the conversation. He didn't notice Miracle's gradual absentness.

Miracle gave a small smile and put the plate on the table. She made herself concentrate on the room and her parents, trying not to daydream while her parents are there. She twirled her finger around her hair and absent-mindingly jabbed at her food with a fork.

"This is quite good, no?" Magenta spoke up after finishing her plate.

"It's delicious." Riff Raff nodded.

Miracle gave a small hum, then blinked at her parents. "Sorry, vhat?"

Magenta glanced at Miracle. "I vas saying how good the food is, don't you like it?"

Riff Raff raised an eyebrow slightly at her himself.

Miracle looked at her plate and then looked at her mother. "Oh, yes, it's great." she sweetly smiled.

Magenta glanced at her plate, then at her. "You barely touched it!"

"Sorry, Mom. I guess I was thinking a little too much."

Magenta smirked, sensing something. "Vhat's his name?"

Riff Raff frowned slightly. There was a him?

Miracle's eyes widened and she blushed slightly, falling into an embarrassing consequence. "T-There is n-n-no him!"

"You cannot fool Mother!" Magenta laughed, then settled her brother.

"Okay," Miracle giggled sheepishly. She wasn't going to name him, at least not until she was sure they were destined. "Yes, there is a guy."

"Did you know him from vhen Brad and Janet raised you?" Magenta asked, making motherly conversation.

"Not quite..."

"Did you just meet him?" Magenta continued to ask, then turned to Riff. "Vhy don't you get some more food before you hurt somevon?"

Riff had been clenching the arms of his chair to hear of his little girl subjected to a powerful emotion such as love. He frowned, and nodded at Magenta's statement and walked out of the room for girl talk.

Miracle then nodded to her mother's question.

"Vho is he?" Magenta asked, very curious of her daughter's life and wanted to help in anyway she possibly could.

"Do you promise not to be mad, Mom?"

"Vhy vould I be mad?"

There was hesitant silence. Miracle nodded and tried the very best to say her possible soul mate's name without frightening anyone. She bowed her head, avoiding her mother's gaze. "It's Cosmo..."

"Cos-mo?" Magenta asked, making sure she heard that right.

"I love him, Mom, he may be older than me... But, I do..."

"It is okay," Magenta gave a smile, comforting her daughter. "I love you no matter vhat."

Miracle looked back up with a smile. She stood up, hugging her mother.

"You are still my daughter, I vill love you no matter vhat happens." Magenta patted Miracle's back gently, and gripped harder in the hug, never wanting to let her go.

Miracle shifted so she was sitting properly on Magenta's lap so there would be no uncomfortableness. She smiled in the hug, feeling safe.

Riff came back in with a couple of glasses of wine and took a sip of one.

Miracle smiled softly at her father.

"That von better not be mine." Magenta teased, seeing he sipped one of the glasses.

"I was thinking it could be..." Riff smirked, teasing Magenta. He may have been in love with his younger sister, but he still managed to keep the teasing older brother natural tendencies.

"Eww Riffy germs!" Magenta winced playfully, getting in touch with her younger sister side of their relationship.

Riff Raff handed the clean glass to Magenta. "You know you don't actually care about 'Riffy Germs'." he joked.

Miracle giggled, then stood from her mother's lap. "I'm going to get an early night if that's okay." She was amused and didn't want to go yet, but she was a little tired.

"That's fine dear," Magenta told her gently. "Be sure to wash your face and brush your teeth, okay?" she took a sip of wine from her personal glass.

"Okay, Mom," Miracle nodded, kissing both their cheeks to head off and do just that. "Night, night Dad."

"Night, Mir." Riff Raff smiled at her, sipping his own wine glass again.

"Night, Miracle." Magenta toasted her glass, watching her daughter go upstairs.

Riff Raff sat next to Magenta and gave a half smirk to her as Miracle went upstairs to do her nightly routine.

"So... you vanna give Miracle a little brother or sister to play vith?" Magenta looked up at him with her eyes glazed.

Riff finished his wine and tossed the glass behind him. He gave her a predatory look and stood up helping her up and started to lead her upstairs.

Back at the TV Station after dinner the next day, LP and Nation had a little talk on the way to the park. LP saw David again, he had a few presents for her, such as a book of Earth fairy tales, a teddy bear and it had a necklace around it. It was clear that David really liked LP as much as she liked him, even if he was a little different. But, there was a serious talk between LP and Nation once they went back to the station that shocked Nation.

Cosmo and Miracle did the Transylvanian sign while they were gone after their date the next day and the two did find out they are indeed soul mates. Cosmo was surprised at first that Miracle asked him if he knew about it, but she is at that age where many Transylvanians experiment with it. Now, to the girls away from the park and back home at the TV Station.

"That's a pretty necklace," Nation complimented once LP showed her the presents from David on their way away from the park. "What else did he give you?" she was both curious and just trying to bond with the girl a bit more.

"He also gave me this cute teddy," LP took out the bear and a storybook. "And this book. I don't think I've seen it before."

Nation smiled at the teddy bear, taking a closer look at the book. "Ah, it's a book of classic Earth fairy tales." Even as an adult, the Earthling fairy tales were interesting to read.

"What are fairy tales?" LP wondered.

"They're stories," Nation explained, opening a page to what the story was about with the pretty pictures. "For example, there is one called Sleeping Beauty." She wanted to tell what the story was about, though in a way not to ruin it for LP when she would read it.

"I love stories, does Sleeping Beauty snore?"

"Well, no one knows if she snores, the story never says."

"Does she drool?" LP glanced at the pretty pictures. "Daddy wears a facemask when he goes to bed, it looks creepy."

Nation gave a small chuckle. A brief flash of hurt went across her eyes but too quickly for anyone to notice. "I don't know if she drools, once again it isn't said in the story."

"This story isn't really descriptive," LP giggled, then looked up at Nation. "Are ya okay? I'm sorry if I hurt you..."

Nation looked at her. "You haven't hurt me sweetheart, and the stories sometimes are sometimes aren't really descriptive."

"Oh, okay," LP looked through the book. "These are pretty colors..."

"How about you read some to me before you go to sleep when it's bedtime?" Nation suggested.

"Me? Read? I dunno Nation..." LP shrugged.

"I just thought it'd be nice..."

"I-I-I don't read too good..."

"Well, when you get stuck, I'll help you, okay?"

"Oh, okay."

"So, that a deal, dear?"

"Okay, that'll be fair." LP smiled, clutching the book. "That was nice of David to give me this stuff, and it's not even my birthday or a convention!"

"Well, sometimes it doesn't have to be a special occasion for a friend to give you a gift, or you them." Nation said, as they were getting closer back to the TV Station.

"Yeah..." LP glanced back at David before they were out of town and at the station.

"Oh, my gosh, Nation McKinley!" an unknown boy beamed. He seemed familiar to LP as she looked at him.

"Who are you?" LP wondered.

"My name's Sonny!" the boy replied. He wore different clothes than what a boy or anyone his age would wear. He then took out a glossy photograph of Nation with a permanent ink pen. "Can I have your autograph, Dr. McKinley?"

"Sure thing," Nation blinked in surprise and smiled. She took the picture and signed it. 'To Sonny, good health and keep smiling, Dr. Nation McKinley x.' She tried not to ruin the picture and smiled, handing the photo to Sonny.

LP kept staring at Sonny, he seemed really familiar to her somehow.

"Thanks, Doc!" Sonny beamed, then walked away, singing a song about himself.

LP looked him leaving, and looked back at Nation. "Does that boy seem familiar to you?"

Nation blinked slowly as she watched Sonny leave. "He kind of reminds me a little of Frank..."

"Really?" LP looked closer. "I see a bit of Janet Weiss in him too for some reason..." her eyes then widened and she glanced up at Nation. "You don't think..."

"Could be..." Nation sounded shocked, looking at the boy and LP.

"No... it couldn't be! Daddy and Janet Weiss wouldn't do that to each other!" LP shook her head, imagining her father in bed with an innocent, pure woman. "Would he...?"

"I'm not sure, but he must have done."

This had to of course be done before Nation knew Frank personally. Because of that, Nation wasn't judging too harshly.

"Hmm..." LP wondered as they walked inside the station.

"Ricky is a sicko sometimes..." Cosmo mumbled as he looked through photographs from Ricky's camera of Laura in her underwear.

Nation looked around as they entered.

LP happily ran inside like a cheerful child, but ran into Cosmo. "Sorry, Uncle Cosmo!"

"Oh, that's alright, just watch it next time." Cosmo said with a smile so she wouldn't feel threatened or scared.

"What're you looking at?"

"NOTHING!"

Nation came up to them, raising an eyebrow, recognizing the camera. "Cosmo, go put that camera back with Laura and Ricky!" she then looked at LP. "How about we put things in your room and we go see about dinner?"

"Sure!" LP cuddled her new teddy, then went to her new room.

Cosmo sheepishly hid the camera then nodded and left. "I never get to have any fun!" he moped like a child.

"Grow up, Cos," Nation looked over her shoulder. "Take pictures of your own girl if you wanna see pics like that!"

"My new room's kinda smaller than my old one, but I don't mind, it was kinda lonely having all that space for just one person, royal or not." LP said, taking her new gifts to her bedroom in the station.

Nation looked at LP. "Well sweetie, you won't be lonely anymore, I'm sorry i didn't stop by when you were first upset, Laura dragged me out of the TV station."

"Oh, it's okay." LP sat on the bed, organizing her new things. "Nation, are you gonna be my new mommy?"

Nation twirled the ring around her finger absently as she looked at LP and sat next to her. "I hope so, sweetheart."

"Can I be honest with you, Nation?" LP turned, looking into her green eyes. "I have a big, big secret! No one can know, 'specially Daddy.." she sounded extra childish today.

"Of course, sweetheart." Nation promised.

LP sighed and gripped her book. "I'm not a fool, Nation," she said, sounding more like a grown up than a child. "I'm smarter than I look. Yes, I haven't read an Earth fairy tale, but I'm an evil mastermind. I wanted my father to be killed on the night of his convention because all he would do would abuse and neglect me, not to mention his servants. I even asked Riff Raff when my father left to put on his makeup to get ready to kill him. I still don't want to be a princess, because royalty is stupid!"

Nation blinked slowly and scooted back. "Well, you shouldn't keep secrets, dear, and think of such things about your father, but I won't tell anyone unless you want me to, and I'll still love you no matter what." she said, sounding a tiny bit frustrated, but also understanding and calm.

"Whatever," LP sighed in her true teenage rebellion. "Let's just forget this moment happened, I could use a sandwich." she laid back, kicking her shoes off. "Today, Nation!" she now truly sounded like the daughter of Frank.

Nation looked at the girl, a stoic look appearing on her face. "You don't have any right to order me about, dear." Her voice was just as calm as her face. She added the 'dear' as almost an afterthought. She still loved the girl but she wouldn't allow anyone, even a teenager, boss her about. She stood up and headed to the door holding the door-frame with one hand as she looked at the girl on the bed. "I don't take orders from youngsters." she said, before leaving and didn't read a bedtime story to LP like she promised, knowing the sweet young girl she knew was a lot like her father in her true colors.

"I-I-I'm sorry, Nation," LP grew a little nervous, her stomach had turned inside her body. She gripped the ends of her bed and her eyes widened. "C-C-Calm down now..." Seeing Nation's stoic face reminded LP of when Magenta would glare at her to make her shut up when she needed to.

Nation heard LP's reply. She sighed and placed her hands over her face as she continued to lean against the door she was against. She was frustrated from the fight with Frank earlier, and upset with how she had been ordered to do something by LP, but she wasn't mad with the girl. She did however know that LP needed to know she (LP) shouldn't have ordered her (Nation) to do something.

"Nation...?" LP's voice cracked. "I could really use you right now! Please!"

Frank had his makeup running, looking like he had been crying. He saw Nation. "I-I'm sorry about earlier... I wasn't thinking... Honest... i'm just very sorry about my behavior earlier... I wasn't being the gentleman I was earlier... I... Are you okay?"

Nation slowly took her hands from her face. "I don't think so." She was stressed, annoyed but her hearts were aching from LP's cry and now seeing Frank's tear-stained looking face.

Frank sighed and left Nation alone. It would probably be better if they were separated now, a lot had happened between them.

Laura, who was now dressed properly again and had a serious case of bedhead, went to see why LP was calling out. If needed she would fetch Nation to help the girl. "Are you okay, sweet pea?" she asked LP as she popped her head through the door.

LP sniffled and held her knees. "I did a bad thing... I told Nation the truth about me and now she won't listen to me... I'm such a terrible person... I failed as a being, human or alien! I think I liked myself better when I was a childish teenager instead of a brat... I don't know who I am anymore..."

Laura pushed the door closed and came and sat on the bed. "Okay sweet pea, tell me what happened after you told this 'truth'."

LP sighed and let a tear roll down her cheek. "I'm no good... I'm no good..." she flopped into Laura's lap for some type of comfort. "Nation left and she doesn't seem very happy anymore... I just feel awful... I want to be liked, but I don't want to be known for me... I just... I... I don't know what to do now... I'm really sorry..."

"Did something happen to make her seem upset?" Laura asked gently as she stroked LP's hair. She knew Nation would never get angry, unless something had happened, he also knew that Nation loved LP like a daughter.

"I kinda told her I'm a sadist and a phony." LP admitted as her stomach crawled.

Laura released a sharp sigh. "Well, sweet pea, I'm sure Nation would be proud ya told her. Perhaps, you said something that upset her afterwards?" she really wanted to help the princess. No matter what, Laura loved the little girl like an older sister, younger sister bond.

"I guess I kinda told her to make me a sandwich and I wasn't really nice when I asked..." LP sighed, feeling like Laura was the older sister she had always wanted.

"Maybe you could apologize to her for that, sweet pea. And also, maybe you and your father could come up with something to make her feel better?"

"Daddy? What's he got to do with this?"

Laura frowned a bit, but offered a gentle smile. "You probably best ask him yourself, all I know is that he upset Nation."

"Oh, I don't know, Nurse Ansalong..." LP sounded a bit nervous.

"I'll come with you if you want, sweet pea."

"Thanks, I think." LP smiled, then hopped off her bed, gripping her teddy. "This is cute, I admit..."

"Who gave it to you?" Laura asked, hoping to cheer up the girl.

"My new friend, David." LP blushed slightly as she said the boy's name.

LP buried her face in her teddy's fluffy head. "It's not like that!" she defended, muffling through the stuffed animal's fur.

"Okay, I believe ya." Laura winked.

LP groaned from her teasing and squeezed her bear harder. "Women!" she scoffed, reverting back to her childish self slowly.

"Teenagers," Laura chuckled, then let out a deep breath. "Well, shall we go see how we can make Nation feel better?"

"I guess so..." LP sighed, clutching her teddy. "I never had a teddy this beautiful before..."

"Well, keep it safe and come on, let's go find Frank and we'll figure out a way to make it up to Nation."

"Okay, let's go see Daddy." LP placed her teddy back on her bed. "Daddy?"

Frank sniffled and turned to her. "Not now, sweetie, Daddy's having a moment."

"Come on, cheer up," Laura put her hands on her hips. "Together, we're going to cheer Nation up and to help keep you together."

"I don't know, she seemed troubled..." Frank sighed.

"I kinda told her I'm evil... Like how you decieved Brad and Janet..." LP looked up at him.

"Little Precious, that was very bad!" Frank scolded. "We'll talk about this later, but we need to get Nation back on her feet."

"Better only be talking," Laura looked at him firmly once. "You should do something nice, just the three of you. Something that Nation'll love." She was just a ray of sunshine on a gloomy situation.

Frank glared at her. It even brought back memories when Laura was Columbia in the castle an she always introduced him, Riff Raff and Magenta to bizarre customs and cultures of their new planet.

"Like a family fun day?" LP's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I think something would be good." Laura smiled at her, after giving a glare to Frank right back.

"Now, hold on!" Frank began to protest.

"Daddy for once think of someone other than yourself!" LP snapped.

Frank sharply sighed. "Whatever! What do we do?"

"Well, for one thing, Nation likes going out, so maybe you could all go and have a picnic and maybe arrange an activity for you all to do." Laura suggested.

"Pickanick!" LP chimed. "I never had a real pickanick before!"

"You know of picnics, LP?" Frank raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah, she-" LP looked at Laura, then looked back. "I mean, my old nanny Columbia used to take me on them when you would be busy, Daddy!"

"Whoever this Columbia was she had good taste," Laura nodded in agreement. "Okay, I could sort out the picnic food with some of Nation's favorite food."

LP and Frank couldn't help but share an aside giggle from Laura's comment about 'Columbia'.

"Just make sure no vegetables," Frank prompted. "LP and I do not eat vegetables."

"I think I should try them, Daddy, Nation says they're healthy." LP defended.

Laura nodded to LP's statement. "How about this then, I'll make you two sandwiches that you can easily take any vegetable off if ya don't like it?"

"Okay!" LP chirped, acting like a happy go lucky child again.

Frank shuddered at the very thought and idea of vegetables.

Laura rolled her eyes at his reaction. "Fine, I'll make his with no vegetables."

"We do not need vegetables to survive." Frank stated to Laura.

"Different digestive systems?" Laura wondered.

Frank shrugged. "Probably, my father never ate a vegetable in her life."

"Spinach looks like moss on trees." LP cringed, thinking of vegetables she knew. "Is a tomato a vegetable?"

"It's a fruit!...I think."

"Tomatoes are definitely fruit, sweet pea, they have seeds after all." Laura explained.

"Seems confusing," LP thought about it. "People eat 'em with those salad things."

LP tilted her head.

"Stop confusing my child, please." Frank said, sounding like a real father. "Let's do this nicpic thing."

Laura chuckled once she helped them get things ready as Nation and Cosmo talked about earlier problems over wine. "It's picnic, not nicpic." she informed the transvestite.

"Really? Nicpic sounds right in my head." Frank hummed.

"Everything does in your world, Daddy." LP joked.

"Stop." Frank gently pushed her and made funny faces.

LP then giggled and laughed, now getting along with her father instead of fearing him.

Laura smiled at the way Frank and LP were playing.

"Let's make a food list." Frank took out some paper.

"I'll get to the kitchen!" LP slid down the floor, going to the fancy dining room of the TV Station. How convenient that a TV Station has a dining room!

Laura nodded and started to say what Nation's favorite foods were.

Nation was resting her head on her arms on the table. Her eyes were closed and the bottle was empty but she had half a glass left.

"Oh, my poor sister..." Cosmo cooed, cleaning up after her.

Nation groaned slightly.

Once Frank and LP had the picnic together, they decided to go looking for Nation. She was still in the kitchen. "Naaaatiiiooon!" LP and Frank's voices rang in her ears as they came in with a large picnic basket.

"Picnic time!" LP giggled like a child.

"Turn that frown upside down!" Frank added with a wide grin. He really wanted to keep her in a good mood and spend some time with her, actually being in love.

"What?" Nation looked up, blinking and tilting her head. She offered a smile, but it was slightly weary.

"We wanna picnic with you." LP smiled.

"We're sorry for what we did, but we wanna make it up to you, we got good ones..." Frank smiled, taking out one of Nation's most favorite foods from the basket.

Nation smiled more truly. She then got up, straightened her clothes. "Okay..." She was touched that they were doing this for her. Nation got up and went to go with them. She looked at Frank, wondering why his attitude was changed from earlier.

"It's a beautiful day, Nation." LP smiled. "We shouldn't waste it."

Frank sniffled a bit and wiped his eyes, walking with the girls. They went to the park they went to for where LP met David. It would be a good picnic spot, but LP would have to stay with him and Nation.

"We're really sorry, Nation." Frank spoke up.

"Yeah, sorry." LP nodded.

"I forgive you," Nation reached her hands to both of theirs. "I'm just a stupid woman..."

"No, you're not..." Frank whispered, holding her close as LP carried the basket over her head and they walked outside the station together. "I'm a stupid man... All I've done before was hurt people... I was like a sponge... I just took, took, took and drained others of their love and emotion. I just chewed people up and spit them out again... If anyone is stupid, it's me... I want us to be happy together, Nation," he smiled, sincerely. "I want us to be together... And maybe... if you'd like... We could give LP a baby brother or sister to play with."

Nation looked at him. "Frank, I love you... And I would like that but we'd need to be married... And I don't think you are that."

"I know," Frank took out the engagement ring his mother gave him to give Annette. "I just have one thing to say before we settle down and that's-" Frank looked into her lighter green than his eyes. "Dammit Nation, I love you!"

"Awwwwww..." LP marveled at their love proclamation as she dug into the picnic basket and there was even a single red rose without any thorns in it.

Frank smiled, took the rose from LP and handed the rose to Nation.

Nation looked surprised and took the Rose to smell it. She then grinned happily and hugged him. "I love you too, Frank!"

"Oh, Nation..." he gently purred.

"Hey! Are you guys gonna eat or what?" LP called as she took out two heart-shaped cookies

"Yes, let's eat." Nation giggled and blushed before looking at LP.

LP giggled, handing them the cookies and taking her own.

"A toast," Frank called, taking out a glass of water. "To a brighter future and better life."

Nation held up her glass of water. "A bright future and happy life!"

LP giggled, clinking their glasses together. She then took a drink wondering about the happy life and bright future she would lead now. She then glanced back and saw David in the distance. They smiled and waved at each other, but LP would see him for another time. this was a family time, and the future was their's to decide.

To Be Continued...
