The sun rose majestically against a sky blue canvas, occupied by a few white fluffy pillowy clouds. It casted a blanket of warmth, and comfort over East Liverpool. As it glistened through the windows of New Rad Castle, it blanketed the small sleeping form of the child who captured the heart of Celestine, King Charles, Kin, Connor Nickell, the Warriors, their friends, and many people of Eostia and East Liverpool.

The door of the guest bedroom in which he was sleeping quietly opened as Prim gently walked in. She carefully walked over to the bed, and watched the sleeping boy's small form raise, and fall from his breaths. She smiled warmly at him, and bent her head over to gently nuzzle at his cheek.

"Toby sweetie, it's time to wake up." She gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead.

He yawned softly, and slowly blinked his eyes open looking through his eyeglasses. He smiled warmly at her, "G-good morning P-Prim."

"Good morning little one, did you sleep well last night?" She reached up with a hand she kneeled down on her knees, and lightly stroked along Toby's arm through the covers.

"Y-yes. I didn't have any b-bad dreams." He smiled warmly as she stroked at his arm.

"Well that is good sweetie." She leaned her head over to nuzzle at his cheek. "Are you hungry? Kaguya is in the palace kitchen preparing breakfast for all of us." She smiled warmly at him.

He nodded. "Y-yes. I am a little h-hungry." He gently reached up and uncovered himself as Prim reached up to assist him.

She smiled softly at him, and stood up on her legs, and turned her side toward the bed for him to climb on her back. He smiled softly at her, and carefully climbed up on her back, and hugged her neck lightly. She smiled at him, and kissed the top of his head as she walked out of the guest room.

Prim, and Toby arrived at the ballroom which was nice and clean. The royals, and the others minus the Shadowbolts, and Beardsley were all seated in a big circle table on red velvet chairs. They smiled warmly as the two entered. The Shadowbolts and Beardsley left the celebration to go back to East Liverpool for the others to attend college the next day, and for Beardsley to take care of the dragons when the Warriors returned.

Celestine spoke softly. "Good morning my dear Prim, and young Toby. Please come take a seat."

Prim nodded as she walked up to a space between Claudia and Maia. She carefully kneeled down. Toby gently climbed off her, and sat down on a chair between Prim, and Claudia. Prim bowed her head to Celestine. "Thank you Celestine."

Toby smiled softly up at Celestine, Charles, and around at everybody. "G-good morning e-everyone." He spoke softly.

They all smiled warmly at the little boy as Kaguya came walking into the ballroom with pushing a cart filled with plates of hearty breakfasts. She began handing out the breakfast plates to everybody.

Celestine, Charles, Connor, Claudia, and Prim each had a sandwich with freshly made apple cider. Maia decided to eat a large omelette she saved from the celebration with some milk, Luu Luu had a salad of lettuce leaves, water chestnuts, and finely sliced carrots with apple cider as well. While Grave had a fruit bowl, Vault had some steaks and soda.

Kaguya carefully walked over to Toby with his plate in her hands and gently set it in front of him with a fork and knife.. "Hello there Toby. I made you some pancakes with some freshly made apple juice. I hope you enjoy little one." She smiled softly, while she had the same thing.

Toby's stack of pancakes were made of two with a pat of butter and some syrup. He carefully picked up the fork and knife to start cutting at the pancakes which were soft and warm. He dug his fork into some, and took a bite. He smiled softly as he could taste the warmth of the pancakes, the sweetness and smoothness of the syrup and butter blended all together.

After he swallowed his first bite he looked up at Kaguya who sat across from between Maia and Luu Luu. "Th-thank you K-Kaguya. I like these. Th-they taste like pancakes that my m-mommy made for me for breakfast." He reached for his cup and took a drink at the apple juice. "Mmm... a-and this taste like the apple juice my m-mommy gave me to help me go to sleep at night i-if I had a bad dream."

Kaguya smiled warmly at him. "Aww.. well, you are quite welcome sweetie. I am happy that you like them." She went back to eating at her pancakes.

As he was finishing his breakfast for a few minutes, Toby looked around at the group of people of knights, and smiled a little. 'They are so nice to me. Maybe my wish came true, but I wish mommy was here.' He thought to himself as he lowered his head, and started shaking.

Everybody noticed this which Claudia spoke up first. "Toby dear, what is the matter?" She reached up with a hand to rub at his back turning her head to try to look into his eyes.

Prim did the same by reaching a hand, and stroking at his back and looked at him with a concerned look on her face as long along with the others. "Yes Toby sweetie, is something wrong? You can tell us, we care care about you, and want to help you." The others nodded in unison.

He started to sob, and shake heavily as he looked up at the group, and toward the royals. "C-Could I maybe *sniff* g-go out on the balcony *sniff* C-Celestine *sniff* and K-King Charles?"

Celestine looked at the little boy, and nodded speaking softly. "Of course my dear."

Toby nodded and looked at the others with tears in his eyes. "I-I am s-sorry." He carefully got off the chair, and gently backed away from the group, and walked in the direction toward the balcony. As he walked into the balcony he folded his arms, laying them on the rail, and buried his face in them crying heavily.

The others all saw this from their point of view, and looked on sadly. Prim was starting to stand up when Celestine gently lifted a hand. "My dear Prim, would it be okay if I go speak with young Toby?"

Prim nodded. "Um.. of course Celestine." She smiled a little and looked out at the balcony at the crying child.

Celestine gave her and everybody a warm smile as he lifted herself up, and turned to carefully walk toward the balcony.

Toby was standing at the rail looking out at East Liverpool. He watched as the sun stood against the sky blue canvas. "I-I miss you m-mommy, and I-I am sorry!" He said to himself as he lowered his head again with fresh tears pouring out of his eyes.

Celestine carefully walked up to the little boy, and gently spoke. "Toby dear. Is it okay if I join you?"

Toby jumped a little, and turned around to look up at the High Elf. "Y-yes *sniff* Celestine. *sniff* I-I am sorry for *sniff* being mean to you, *sniff* and the others." He lowered his head in shame.

Celestine frowned down at the child, and took a step toward him and laid a hand over his small form. "Shh... no dear one, you have nothing to be sorry for. We all understand so don't ever think you were being mean to us, okay Toby?" She looked down at him with a soft smile.

He look up and nodded. "O-okay *sniff* Celestine." He reached up with an arm to wipe at his tears. "I-I just miss my m-mommy." He turned his back toward Celestine slowly. "If she wasn't on her way to pick me up from school, she will still be here. It is all my fault!" He closed his eyes tightly, and shook again with heavy sobbing.

Celestine gently reached up her hand, and rubbed at his back. "Shhh...no dear Toby, you must stop blaming yourself for the loss of your mother. It was an accident, and you didn't know." She thought of something, and gently lowered herself on the balcony floor kneeling her legs at Toby's level placing an arm over him. "Let me tell you a story little one, okay?"

Toby nodded, and wiped at his tears again. "O-okay. *sniff*"

Celestine took in a deep breath as she looked up at the sky. "A very long time ago when my friend Connor, and his brother were together, everything was peaceful in the city. All of humankind treated each other with love, respect, and friendship." She lowered her head and frowned. "Until one day his brother allowed himself to be consumed by hate."

Toby looked to see her frowning, and watched her with a concerned look as he listened to her story.

She lifted her head back up to look at the sky, and continued. "As hatred consumed him, he wanted to exact revenge on East Liverpool, and make everyone who shunned him pay." She looked down at the little boy who was sitting down with his legs curled up close to himself with his knees up to his chest as he sat gently up against her under her arm.

He looked up and nervously asked. "P-please don't be mad C-Celestine, b-but w-why?"

Celestine gave a soft smile, and gently nuzzled at the top of his head. "Dear Toby, don't be afraid of asking me a question, I am not mad. You should never apologize for asking a question." She made a long sigh. "You see little one he wanted everyone to hurt him disappear, because you was accused of something terrible he didn't commit, and his family refused to speak to him. When the people believed that Owen was always trouble to the city."

"One day he met Origa Discordia the Queen of the Dark Elves. He begged her to give him power to exact his revenge on the people he once loves. That resentment ate in his heart until he became a Conqueror of Dragons." She let a tear shed as she lowered her head.

Toby watched with deep concern, and spoke softly.

"P-please don't cry Celestine." He looked up with a soft reassuring smile.

She smiled warmly down at him. "Thank you dear Toby." She sighed heavily as she lifted her head back up. "With the aid of the Dragon Warriors, Connor had no choice but to fight his brother."

Toby looked up curiously, and asked. "D-Dragon Warriors Celestine?"

She nodded softly at him. "Yes little one. They decided to face Origa in this dimension, when Origa casted a duplicate spell on herself years ago. Together they help protect East Liverpool from danger and darkness." She sighed deeply as she continued with her story. "After spending five years in hatred, Owen decided to avenge himself at the hands of his brother as well."

Toby looked up at her as he listened intently, but with fearful eyes.

She noticed his look and smiled softly. "Don't worry dear. My friends have aided Connor in the battle when he is in trouble and hurt."

She looked down at the little boy. "You see dear one, although Owen tried to get his revenge, Connor still sees the good in him after he sided with Origa. He is his brother, his family, and family will always be there to forgive you, love you, and help you in life when you make a horrible mistake." She lowered her head, and gently nuzzled at his cheek.

He nodded solemnly, and asked. "D-do you think my mommy forgives me Celestine for her bring gone?"

Celestine looked down with a small smile, and gently asked. "Well, dear, if an elf ask, do you think your mommy forgives you?"

Toby nodded. "Y-yes."

She smiled softly asked with the same gentle tone. "And why do you think she does forgive you?"

Toby smiled up warmly. "B-because she loves me, and she would tell me that it was all an accident. She would tell me to stop blaming myself, because she loves me and she is always with me in my heart.:

Celestine nodded, and gave him a gentle kiss on the top of his head. "That is right dear Toby. I truly am sorry for the tragedy that fell upon you with losing your mother and for the way your father have treated you by blaming it on you." She smiled softly, and gently spoke. "Toby dear, I would like to tell you something, okay?"

Toby nodded, and looked up softly. "O-okay Celestine."

She sighed deeply, and looked down at the little boy. "As a sorcerer, Kin is able to listen to the hearts of all people in East Liverpool. Well, he heard a particular wish from my friend Prim?"

Toby smiled up softly. "O-oh, what did she wish for Celestine?

She smiled warmly. "Well, she wished to one day have a boy or girl, son or daughter, to call her own that she could come to love and care for." She sighed deeply. "With his time on East Liverpool, he was able to listen to the hearts of other people from different lands."

Toby swallowed nervously. "E-even humans Celestine?"

She nodded. "Yes little one, even humans. Well, four nights ago he heard a wish from the heart of a young boy, and he could sense he was very sad. Would you like to know what he wished for Toby?"

Toby nodded a little nervously. "Y-yes, please?"

Celestine smiled warmly. "He wished to have a new home to live, and a new family who will love him."

Toby looked up with widened eyes. "Th-that was my wish Celestine. I-I wished for a new home, and a new family, because my daddy was being, so mean to me."

Celestine nodded. "Yes dear one, you are the boy who he heard made that wish. So with deep concentration, he used his magic to envelope you in a warm glowing light, and brought you here to East Liverpool. Yet he brought you here, and placed you in front of the entrance of Sunny Flare's apartment."

Toby nodded, and looked up at Celestine softly speaking. "Th-then Prim found me, d-didn't she?"

Celestine nodded and smile warmly giving him a light nuzzle on his cheek. "Yes she did little one. You see dear Toby, she is a wonderful princess. She treats all creatures no matter how big or small, and no matter what species, with the kindest of hearts." She sighed deeply. "I believe her wishing for a child to call her own, and you wishing for a new family who will love you, that you and Prim were meant to find each other.

Tears started to form in Toby's eyes. "W-we were Celestine?"

"Yes Toby sweetie, we were meant to find each other." He heard the voice of Prim who was standing at the doorway leading out to the balcony. She walked carefully up to him, and laid down next to him, and Celestine and the others along with Charles stood in the doorway.

"Me, my friends, and Charles have been talking about Toby... and.. um if you would like to.. um.. we all would love for you to stay in East Liverpool, and be apart of our family." She smiled at him, and gave him a gentle kiss on the top of his head, and laid an arm over his small form.

Toby choked back a couple of tears, and asked gently. "R-r-really?"

The others walked out onto the balcony they all sat in a circle with Charles taking her place beside Celestine.

"Of course dear. You are the most precious little boy I have ever met, and you gave me inspiration for something new to do with my fashion." Claudia said gently as she looked over at the child with a warm smile.

Toby asked softly. "I-I did?"

Claudia nodded. "Yes you did dear. You know that gold gem that I sewn into your outfit there? Well I have been thinking about doing custom dresses and suits for people who want something special to them sewn into their dresses and suits."

Toby smiled softly, and blushed at the fact he inspired Claudia.

"Yes child, I would love for you to stay, and I know Applejack would be happy if you stayed. I could introduce you to the rest of the Apple family when they have their annual Apple Family Reunion." Kaguya said with a soft smile.

"Yeah kid, I know Indigo would like for you to stay too. You could go watch some games with her and the others. Also, of you would like to someday I would take you for a ride that you will never forget." Maia smirked softly.

"YEAH! If you stay little Toby, we would have whole barrels of fun! We could have parties everyday! We could play any games you wanted! Have sleepovers at the catacombs! Have picnics together!" Luu Luu couldn't hold her excitement at the thought of Toby staying that she smirked.

Toby couldn't help but laugh happily at Luu Luu's antics.

"LUU LUU!" Everybody shouted, except for Toby who stayed in unison.

"UHH... YOU PARTY POOPERS!" She said sticking her tongue out.

Alicia rolled her eyes, and looked over at the little boy with a soft smile. "Toby sweetheart, if you do decide to stay, you could come, and borrow any book you would like from my room. I have all sorts of books that I know you would like. Also, I could maybe show you some of my fighting techniques if you would want to see."

They all smiled warmly at the child as Celestine was the last to speak. "Toby dear, myself and my friend Charles would be honored if you would stay as well, but the choice is yours. We will support you with either decision you make young one."

Toby looked around at everybody and swallowed deeply. "W-well, I would like to live here, b-but.." He turned to Prim with tears in his eyes. "P-Prim, would you be mad at me if I called you a-auntie?"

Everyone gasped quietly as Prim had tears of her own. "Aww.. Toby sweetie, no, of course not I will not be mad at you if you called me auntie. Are you sure though? I don't want to take the place of your real mommy." She stroked at his back, and shoulders with her hand.

Toby looked up into her sky blue eyes. "Y-you won't replace her Prim. I-I know she is with me in my heart. Y-you could be my second mommy. P-please Prim, can I call you auntie?" He carefully stood up and gave her a warm hug around her neck.

Prim couldn't hold her tears any longer as allowed them to happily shed. "Aww.. Toby sweetie, of course you can call me auntie." She sat down and brought him into her arms in a warm hug. "My precious little boy, my precious little Toby, auntie loves you!" She felt him shake with sobs in her embrace, but could tell he was happy.

Toby spoke between sobs. "I *sniff* love you *sniff* too auntie!" They hugged each other which felt like eternity as the others just looked on with warm smiled, and tears if happiness in their eyes.

Kin gently spoke as Prim who held Toby in her arms. "Well, my kind Prim, it looks like your wish has come true. Young Toby, it looks like your wish has come true as well."

Prim nodded with her head on Toby's shoulder as she looked up at Kin. "Yes Kin, it has. I have a child to call my own, and I promise to always love him." She moved her head to kiss the top of his gently.

Toby very gently unwrapped his arms around Prim's neck, and turned toward the royals, and the rest of the Warriors. "Y-yes Charles, and Celestine, m-my wish has come true. I-I love my new auntie, and I-I love you all, my new family!" He cried happily as the others gently gathered around the little boy and Prim in a big group hug.

"We love you Toby!" They all said in unison.

Celestine looked over at her friend with a warm smile which Charles returned. "It looks like, that we got to get some special duties done that are required to welcome this young one to East Liverpool for good."

Charles nodded. "I believe so Celestine." He and Celestine slowly stood up, and not wanting to disturb this warm moment and quietly walked back into the palace.

With the sun shining warmly upon East Liverpool, it shined brightly upon the Warriors, and the new addition to their circle of friends and family.
