Skylar's arms were strong around Belle's back as the two girls hugged goodbye. They pulled apart and smiled at each other. "Gonna miss you guys," Skylar said, looking at each kid in turn. "Whether you're all my blood cousins or not, I wouldn't trade you guys for any other cousins in the world."
Elliot dramatically wiped and invisible tear from her cheek. "That was so sweet, Sky!" she commented, giggling.
Gold was watching the news, his eyes glazed over in boredom.
"Hey Gold, you going to come say goodbye to your family and friends?" Freddy asked.
The blonde nodded and stood. "Gimmie a sec," he said. He watched for a few more seconds and shut off the TV, tossing the remote back onto the couch.
"Goodbye childrens!" Gold said, hugging each one. He hugged Bonnie, Foxy, Chica, and Freddy as well.
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and their kids made their way back to the RV after many more good-byes to and from Skylar and Gold. When they got in the RV, they piled into seats and started it up.
Edd and Belle sat at the small table, their sketchbooks laid out to one side as they talked.
"You know..." Edd said, turning to look at Elliot and Sylvia, who where lounging in the small bed/loft and talking, occasionally laughing. "I don't think I've ever seen Sylvia with a better friend than Elliot or Skylar. And in such a short few days, too."
Belle smiled. "Yep, that's Ellie for you. I don't know any person who doesn't like her. I wish I was that cheerful. I would make more friends.
"I like the way you are, even with your grumpy side," Edd responded, and Belle laughed, smacking his hand playfully. Her cheeks were pink.
"I like you the way you are too," she responded. "You were so brave back at Fazbear's Fright. And carrying your sister when she started freaking out? That was so gallant!"
"Gallant?" Edd asked with a snicker.
"It's some super old word that my mom uses," Belle shrugged. "I thought it sounded cool."
They chatted idly through the rest of the ride. Belle pulled out her phone. "I'm going to write about our adventure with Percy," she said, quickly skimming the default news page about Percy's body being cremated. She inwardly sighed in relief about him being dead, then felt slightly guilty.
"And put it where?" Edd asked, leaning over to see her screen.
"My blog," Belle answered. "What should I call the story?"
Edd thought for a moment. "Hm... what about Purple Pandemonium?" he suggested.
"Perfect!" Belle started typing.
Soon enough, they were back at Freddy and Chica's house. Belle had fallen asleep on the table, and Edd gently shook her arm to wake her up.
"Bye, Sylvia!" Belle said, hugging the smaller girl.
"Bye, Belle. Thanks for taking care of my brother," Sylvia said quietly with a friendly smile.
Once everyone else had gone in, Edd offered to take in Belle's suitcase for her.
"Thank you," she said gratefully. They took their time walking up the sidewalk to the house, stopping at the door.
"It was nice to hang out with you," Belle said, taking the suitcase and thanking him.
"It was..." he agreed.
They stood there for a moment, just looking at each other and smiling.
"It kinda stinks we're not actually biological cousins," Belle stated.
"It's not that bad."
"Come on, Edd! I wanna get home and play some video games!" Foxy yelled from the car.
Edd looked up at his dad and quickly back at Belle.
"How so?" She asked, referring to his previous statement.
"I can do this," he said.
He suddenly pulled her close to him by her back and pressed his lips to hers.
"Bye," he said as he broke away, quickly running back to the RV.
"...Bye..." Belle said in a whisper when he had gotten in, standing at the doorstep in shock.
The RV roared off, and Belle went inside, hardly containing her smile.
THE END.
