A warm slightly hot summer day here at the Winter Garden Downtown, Florida. Silver was walking down the sidewalk with his dog Buster, to keep himself from the heat he wore a plain regular white t-shirt with denim light blue overall on top feature pocket on front, and slip-on black shoes with short socks. His curl was tied into a ponytail with a matching ribbon so he could have some air flow into his face. In his hand was a dog leash attached to Buster's collar and there's a crossbody straw bag hanging from his shoulder.

It was a nice day on the 29th of June, the two walked down the sidewalk passing by other people going in and out of stores. Silver just loves going downtown because it is always filled with lots of interesting people. He can enjoy the sights and sounds of all the different stores, but he also loves getting to talk to people and ask them about how they are or what is new for them. There have been some people that he has known since he was little and now that he has grown up and is an adult he still remembers their names and knows who they are.

"Silver! Hey!" A voice called out to him as he passed by a store window.

Silver turned around and saw a man in his late 30's standing in the doorway with a large smile on his face.

"Mr. Joplin!" Silver said with a grin. "How are you?"

"Good, good," Mr. Joplin replied. "What brings you down here today? You're not doing any shopping today?"

"No, not today, I'm just taking my dog for a walk." Silver said.

Mr. Joplin's eyes widened. "You got a dog!? Since when!?"

"Since my 21st birthday." Silver laughed. "My maternal cousin Dorado gifted me with this puppy as my surprise gift, isn't that right Buster?" He turned his head down and looked at his dog.

The 7 week old Buster barked happily and wagged his tail.

"He's adorable!" Mr. Joplin said with a big smile. "What kind of dog breed is he?"

"He's an English Bulldog." Silver answered. "Despite his breed being labeled as an aggressive dog to own, he is actually very gentle and loving towards others."

"Oh wow!" Mr. Joplin exclaimed. "That's amazing!"

"Yes it is," Silver said with a chuckle. "But then again I never really had a dog growing up. My parents were too busy with work to have a pet in our home even before my mom retired as a kindergarten teacher when my twin sister was born."

"Oh, I see," Mr. Joplin said with a nod. "So what are you doing these days today?" Mr. Joplin asked.

"Well I am still living with my parents at home." Silver explained. "I am currently attending the University of Central Florida and taking online classes and majoring in Art."

"Oh that's great!" Mr. Joplin exclaimed. "Are you still working part time as a babysitter?"

"Yes, I am." Silver said. "I just love kids, especially babies. They are so cute and adorable to take care of."

"I see." Mr. Joplin said. "That must make your job pretty easy."

"It does, it does." Silver agreed. "Taking care of the kids is much better than having some angry customer screaming at your face."

The two laughed off.

"Do you think that one day you will have children of your own?" Mr. Joplin asked, with a look of interest in his eyes.

Silver laughed. "I would love to have one of my own, maybe someday in the future, who knows." He ended with a shrug. "But right now I am focused on my studies."

"That's great!" Mr. Joplin said with a nod.

The two continued to chat for a few more minutes until Silver started to hear a sound of…

CLICK-CLICK!

…He turned his head around only to see nothing, just people walking past them and some cars driving by.

"Did you hear something?" Silver asked, facing back at Mr. Joplin.

"No." Mr. Joplin replied with a shake of his head. "I-I didn't hear anything at all."

"Huh…." Silver thought to himself. That was odd. He was sure that he heard a noise coming from somewhere behind them. He tried to listen again, but there was no sound. Nothing.

"Are you okay?" Mr. Joplin asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Silver lied. He wasn't sure if he was hearing things or not. "Thought I heard something from behind."

"Oh, well, I'll let you go then. I better be going now." Mr. Joplin said. "Nice talking to you Silver."

"Same here, Mr. Joplin. Have a nice day!" Silver waved goodbye to Mr. Joplin.

As Silver walked away, he couldn't help but wonder if he was just hearing things or not. But Silver was so sure that he did hear something that was almost sudden like a camera. Maybe it was just his imagination?

"Maybe I was just hearing things." Silver thought to himself. He continues to walk with Buster in front of him.

Now back in the Willow's Home, Silver laid his head against the pillow that was placed on the armrest of the sofa while reading a romance novel of Pride and Prejudice. The room was quiet and he could hear the TV playing in the background. He was enjoying his peaceful moment when he heard the sound of a mail truck driving by outside.

Silver got up and walked over to the window and looked outside. Sure enough, there was a USPS mail truck parked right next to their mailbox. Silver watched as the mailwoman opened the lid and placed a bunch of letters and envelopes.

"Mail here Mama!" Silver called out his mom who was cleaning the dining room table across the foyer before he ran over to the door and greeted the mailwoman.

"Hello!" the mailwoman said. "Here are your mails for the day."

"Thank you!" Silver said, bid her goodbye and took the mail from their mailbox. He hummed as he flipped through the letters and envelopes, making his way back to the house.

"Let's see what we have here today….. bill… car registration renewal… credit card bill….. tax return form." He said to himself.

CLICK-CLICK!

Silver suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It is the same sound he heard before. He quickly turned his head around from behind but he didn't see anything.

"What the…" Silver said under his breath. Okay, that sounds like a camera shutter. Something that you usually hear when you take a photo and yet that's definitely what he heard when he was talking to Mr. Joplin earlier.

"Silver!" His mom's voice called him loudly out inside the house, snapping Silver out of his thoughts.

"Uh-coming Mama!" Silver said. He ran inside and walked into the living room before he handed his mom the mail.

"Ah, mail here." Paula said, looking at all the envelopes in her son's hand, not noticing her son's expression.

"Here you go." Silver said, giving her the envelopes.

"What do we have here?" She asked.

Silver wasn't sure what to say. All he could do is just give a weak smile. "Um, bills and stuff."

Paula noticed her son's expression and she gave her son a questioning look. "What's wrong sweetie?" Paula asked, noticing her son's blank stare.

Silver sighed. "I think I might have heard something earlier."

"Really?" Paula asked. "Like what?"

"A click, like a camera shutter sound that I heard before," Silver said. "When I was talking to Mr. Joplin in Downtown, I heard a sound like that. I thought I was just imagining things but I think I wasn't."

"Hmm..." Paula furrowed her eyebrows. "So what you're saying is that you heard some camera shutter sound?"

"Yup." Silver nodded. "I heard the sound when Mr. Joplin and I were speaking with each other. Like someone was taking pictures of me or something."

"Who would take a picture of you?" Paula asked.

"I don't know." Silver shrugged. "But I heard it again when I went outside to get the mail."

"Well, I guess we should be careful." Paula said. "I'll talk to your father and let him know about this."

"Okay." Silver nodded his head at his mom.

Silver watched as his mother walked to the kitchen and then he turned around to head back to the living room to grab his book before going upstairs to his room.

"Who is taking pictures of me?" Silver wondered to himself.

The next day, in the France pavilion in Epcot, Silver was invited to afternoon dining with and by Rachel at the Chefs de France Restaurant.

"Hey Silver! Good to see you again!" Rachel said as they both shared a hug and sat down together.

"Hi Rachel! It's been a while!" Silver replied.

Rachel smiled. "It has indeed."

"How are you doing?" Silver asked.

"I'm good, I'm good!" Rachel said with a smile. "You?"

"I'm doing good, too." Silver said.

The waiter came up to their table and asked for their orders. Once they ordered, Silver and Rachel began to chat with each other.

"So how was New York with Poe, Lena, and Jameson?" Silver asked, taking a sip of refreshing lemonade drink.

"It was fun!" Rachel said, drinking her red wine. "First, we went to Central Park and just walked around. We also went to the Empire State Building and rode the elevator up to the top. Then, we went to Times Square and visited all the shops there. And lastly, we went to the Statue of Liberty and just enjoyed the view. It was a lot of fun!"

"Sounds like a great trip!" Silver said.

"It was!" Rachel said with a smile. "We even went to Broadway to see a show that evening."

"Oh wow!" Silver said. "That's cool! What did you see?"

"Phantom of the Opera!" Rachel said with a grin. "You should see the look on Poe's face when they drop the chandelier above us! He looks like he's gonna faint and perish!"

"I bet!" Silver laughed. "And what about Lena and Jameson? What's their reaction?"

"Lena already knows it's going to happen since she and the girls were having a girl-only movie night at Gosalyn's place," She answered, "and Jameson looked like he was going to puke. He kept telling us that he wasn't ready for that moment."

"Oh, that must've been funny." Silver chuckled.

The waiter came back with their food and Silver and Rachel ate their meals. During the meal, the two continue to chat with each other. While Silver was listening to Rachel, he couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him. The same feeling that he had when he was outside getting the mail out of the mailbox. He kept glancing around, but he didn't see anyone.

As he tried his best to focus on Rachel, the feeling of being watched still remained. Silver kept looking around, but he couldn't find anything. All he could see was park guests walking around the French pavilion entering and exiting the shops and restaurants. Why does this feeling keep coming back? Why does it seem like someone is watching him?

Silver finally decided to ask Rachel about it. "Hey, Rachel," he said. "Do you think someone is watching me?"

"Hmm? What makes you think that?" Rachel looked at him in confusion.

"It's difficult to explain. I just feel like someone is watching me." Silver said.

"You mean like a stalker?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah." Silver said, nodding his head slightly. "Something like that."

Rachel looked at Silver and thought to herself for a few moments. "What makes you think that?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, yesterday……" Silver began to explain his problem to Rachel. He started by telling her when he was speaking with his old acquaintance Mr. Joplin when he was walking his dog and that when he first heard it. Second when he was getting their mail out of their mailbox outside of his family, he heard it again and this is making him uncomfortable. Lastly, he told her that he felt like someone was watching him during the afternoon dining with Rachel.

"Wow, that's quite a story." Rachel said.

"I know, right?!" Silver exclaimed. "It's started to make me feel really anxious. I can't even concentrate on what you are saying to me."

"So, what do you think?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know. I'm just so confused and scared." Silver replied. "I feel like someone is watching me. Someone is following me and secretly taking photos of me without my knowledge. I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling." He explained with a heavy sigh.

"That's very weird." Rachel said.

"I know, right?" Silver said. "I just want someone who is doing this to me to stop it. I don't want them to follow me anymore. This whole thing is starting to freak me out."

Before Rachel could say anything, their waiter came to their table. "Are you two enjoying your meal?" He kindly asked.

"Oh uh yeah!" Rachel said. "We're fine thank you."

"Good!" The waiter said, smiling at Rachel. "Is there anything you two would like to order or will that be all?"

"Oh no thank you!" Rachel said. "I think we're good. Could you bring our check please?"

"Of course!" The waiter said. He quickly brought their check to the table.

After paying the bill, Rachel and Silver left the restaurant. Silver still talks about his problem to Rachel. "I just don't know what to do, I told my mom about this and she told my dad and they both said that they'll take care of it. My dad even went to Home Depot to buy security cameras and secretly installed them outside our front house. But nothing happened. I'm still getting the feeling that someone is watching me."

"I'm sorry Silver." Rachel sighs. "I wish I could help you. I really don't know what else to tell you or what we should do. I mean, I've never heard of anything like this happening before.

"Thank you, Rachel." Silver said with a sad smile. "I really appreciate your concern and I thank you for listening to my problem."

Rachel gave Silver a big side hug. "You're welcome." She said, "I'm glad that I could listen to you."

Silver thanked Rachel and they walked away from the restaurant. As they walked, Silver looked around and he didn't see anyone suspiciously following him. Okay, at least now there's no one following them. That's a relief.

Silver and Rachel continued to walk through the French pavilion until they reached the entrance of the Morocco pavilion. Just before their foot touches the path leading into the pavilion…..

"There he is!!!!!"

Out of nowhere, they were suddenly ambushed by a group of paparazzi. The bursts of camera light told him that those people were trying to take a good picture of him. Their camera flashes blinded both Silver and Rachel and threw a bunch of questions at him.

"Are you Silver?" One of the reporters asked.

"What!? How did you know my name!?" Silver shouted back at them.

"Yup! That's him alright."

"Hey kid! Smile over here!"

"Turn around for us. We can't see you!"

"Stop! Don't take any more pictures!" Rachel screamed at the paparazzi while shielding Silver and the terrified young glasses-wearing man covered his face with his hands. "Leave him alone will you!"

The paparazzi ignored Rachel and continued to take their pictures of Silver. They all surrounded Silver and took their pictures of him. Some of the paparazzi even tried to take his picture without asking.

"Is it true that you are in a relationship with Lord Anthony Draventon? Some of the famous 8th Duke Draventon?" One female reporter asked him.

Silver was immediately shocked, and felt like some lightning struck him. His body shuddered and shook. He wanted to run away, but he was unable to move. All he could do was stand there and take their photos.

"What!" He yelled back at the reporters.

"How did you two meet?" Another reporter asked.

"N… No comment." Silver said.

"Are you two dating?" A male reporter asked.

"He said no comment!" Rachel said, shaking her head. "Please leave him alone!"

"We're just friends!" Silver said.

"Is that so?" The male reporter said as he reached down in his pocket to pull down some photos. "Can you give us an explanation on this?"

When Silver saw the picture, he felt his heart freeze. The picture showed him and Anthony sitting on the bench at Vicky's Tea Party. He could see the shocked expression on Rachel's face as well.

"Oh my god!" Rachel covers her mouth. "You said you and Anthony were being careful!"

"I did!" Silver hissed at her. "We were alone but we got so caught up by the scenery of the lake that we somehow ended up interacting with each other romantically." He told her. Silver then shouted back at the reporter. "Where exactly did you get that photo of us!"

"I have a source!" The reporter replied.

"Who!?" Rachel asked.

"Toby Determined!"

"HIM!!!" Rachel exclaimed.

"That's not important!" Silver said. "Just leave me alone!"

Silver looked around to see if anyone else noticed what was happening. He saw some other guests standing there with their mouths wide open and shocked and confused expressions on their faces. Not knowing what was going on and why there were paparazzi in the park.

[Song: Leave me alone - Princess Diana the Musical, most of the lyrics have been changed.]

Rachel:

You got to leave him alone, leave him alone,

leave him alone!

Rachel was furious at the thought of them being ambushed by these paparazzi, flashing their camera and taking the photo not just of her and Silver but only Silver.

Rachel:

Can you see you're making him uncomfortable, making him uncomfortable, making him uncomfortable!

She demanded that they leave the park. The paparazzi were too many and their cameras flashed too much for Rachel and Silver to take. They had to escape before the paparazzi caused any more trouble. But with all of them surrounding them in the circle, it's impossible for them to get out.

Silver:

So you are one who is doing this?

Taking pictures of me without my knowledge.

At the Downtown, my home, and at the restaurant

You are there everywhere in my hair! It's not just fair!

Silver & Rachel:

It's not just fair!

This whole time, the sound of the camera shutter was them all along. They are the one who caused all this. They are the ones who are responsible for this. They are the ones who are secretly watching and taking pictures of him.

Male Paparazzis:

Maybe we should leave him alone, leave him alone, leave him alone!

The paparazzi started to believe maybe it would be better to leave Silver alone. The young man's body is fractally affected by the emotions that they have caused.

Female paparazzis:

Perhap we're making him uncomfortable, making him uncomfortable, making him uncomfortable!

They notice how Silver's body shakes and quivers when he hears the sound of their camera shutter. The paparazzi also noticed that Silver's eyes are always moving and darting from one place to another.

Silver:

You are so very rude! No rule!

Silver & Rachel:

Making us look like fools!

"Silver!" One of them called him out.

"Kid, over here!" Another trying to get a picture of him.

"You look fantastic today!" The third compliments his outfit.

If only Rachel had brought her Maleficent Bane with her, she would be able to attack these paparazzi and not give a damn if she ended up destroying their camera.

Silver:

You've got to leave me alone! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!

Silver knew that one day his secret romantic relationship with Anthony will be exposed one day but never did he expect to encounter such circumstances where he will be attacked by the press like this.

Rachel:

Why don't you just go bloody go home, blood go home, bloody go home!

Rachel, with the same emotion as Silver, also walks towards them. She was ready to fight the paparazzi. She wanted to show them that she is angry and she is ready to destroy them.

But Silver stopped her and dragged her back in the center. He holds her back and tries to calm her down.

Silver:

How could I survive this problem

There will be paparazzi day and night.

Sometimes I wish they would stop doing this to me!

Silver let out a huge sigh. He knows that every day and every night, there will be paparazzi around him. He knows that they will continue to take their photos of him and question him. He knew that they were going to cause him more problems. He couldn't understand why they were doing this.

Rachel:

You guys need to get a life!

Go pick on someone else's son.

And let my friend Silver enjoy his life without you

Someway, somehow!

Rachel, seeing how upset and terrified Silver is, felt helpless. She couldn't do anything for him. She wanted to help him, but she didn't know what to do in this scary situation.

Silver (Rachel):

You got to leave (a-) me alone (lone), leave (a-) me alone (lone), leave (leave) me (me) alone (alone!)!

Rachel (Silver):

Can you see you're making (un-) him uncomfortable (comfortable), making (un-) him uncomfortable (comfortable), making (making) him (me) uncomfortable (uncomfortable)!

"Silver! Silver!" One tried to call his name out.

"Over here! Kid, look at this way!" Another tried to make his way toward the front, pushing and shoving others in the way.

Male paparazzi 1:

Your face will buy a meal!

Female paparazzi:

A car!

Male paparazzi 2:

A new home!

Rachel:

You are there, everywhere in his hair!

It's not just fair.

Rachel & Silver:

It's not just fair!

Having had enough of this, Silver released a battle cry. There was a moment of silence before everyone heard it. The photographers were shocked and froze for a second when they heard Silver yell out.

Silver:

Leave me alone! Leave me alone!

Rachel:

Leave him alone! Leave him alone!

Out of nowhere, the animals started charging at the paparazzi and did anything to distract them, from biting their legs and feet, to pulling on their arms and ears.

Silver:

Leave me alone! You got to me alone!

Silver & Rachel:

LEAVE ME/HIM ALONE!

The two fled as fast as they could to get out of here with the animals helping them escape while the paparazzi were distracted from the animals.

Mr. and Mrs. Willow and their son Silver decided to have a serious conversation with Yen Sid. The paparazzi really got on their nerves, everywhere Silver went, he was suddenly ambushed by the paparazzi. No matter where he goes, the paparazzi are there waiting for him to take pictures of him.

Silver felt paranoid about being photographed all the time. Ever since the incident with him and Rachel, he had this strange sense that he was always being watched, even when he wasn't in public. He would close the curtains in his room so they wouldn't take pictures of him in his own bedroom without him knowing. The paparazzi were relentless, and sometimes it seemed like they knew exactly what they wanted. They'd show up at the most random places, just as you're getting ready to leave. One moment you're just simply walking down the street and then BAM! You've been photographed.

They didn't seem to care if they got in Silver way or annoyed him. If anything, they don't care if they invaded Silver's privacy and caused him stress or anxiety. It's not like they will ever apologize or ask permission. They just do whatever they want, and there's nothing you can do about it.

As a result of this, Silver started to feel scared to leave the house or even go out because those darn paparazzi are just waiting for the right moment to take a picture of him. Whenever he had to go somewhere, he would panic and freak out. He even has to private his social media accounts so they wouldn't get in touch with him. He just wants to live his life in peace. He doesn't want to be bothered by anyone, especially not some stupid paparazzi.

"Thank you for taking your time with us Mr. Sid." Paula said as the Willow family stepped into Yen Sid's Study.

"Of course Mrs. and Mr. Willow, please have a seat."

The Willow family sit on the three chairs that Yen Sid has summoned using his magic. Silver sat in the middle with his mom on his left and his dad on his right.

"I know you wanted to talk to me regarding the paparazzi." Yen Sid said. "So I am here to listen to all of your concerns."

Silver and his parents nodded their heads. They were grateful that Yen Sid took time off from his busy schedule to come over and listen to him and his family. With all that's happening right now, they need Yen Sid to help them through this difficult time.

"They keep coming after us. It's so hard to get them out of our lives. We really need help with this matter. They're getting worse than ever, and they won't stop following us, they just keep showing up wherever we go." Silver was the first one to explain this to the old wizard man. "It's almost as if I can't even leave my house anymore. This has been extremely difficult on not just me but my family," He said.

"To have your privacy invaded in this way is incredibly scary. It's just a tough, tough thing to go through. I have to quit my job as a babysitter to protect not just myself but the kids as well. I can't even spend time with my friends because I don't want them to get ambushed by paparazzi as they did to me and having cameras shove into their faces with a bunch of questions being thrown at them."

Silver was truly worried. His parents looked at each other, concerned. They felt bad for their son. At least he knows why they are doing this. But then again, Yen Sid does have an answer to every problem so if anyone needs someone to help them, it's him.

"What should we think we should do Yen Sid?" His mother asked him softly. "I'm concerned for my family's safety but more importantly my son. It felt like we reached the dead end of the maze, nowhere to go and nowhere to get out."

Yen Sid nodded. He understood. He could feel how much concern the Willow family has for him and also sympathizes with them. It's very understandable that they're afraid of the paparazzi. However, he had a plan to get rid of these unwanted attention seekers.

"After listening to your concern, it seems to be clear that the only way to solve this problem is that I think it would be best for Silver to move somewhere safe where the paparazzi wouldn't find him." Yen Sid explained to them.

But the Willow family looks at each other with their jaws dropped open, speechless. Their eyes widened. They were shocked by his words.

"You want to send my son away. Away from his home, away from his family and friends, and everything else he loves?!" Paula was flabbergasted by this.

"Mama!" Silver interjected. He knew that moving away from his home would benefit him. Although, it sounded like a horrible idea to his parents. "Please calm down," Silver pleaded with his mom. He couldn't bear to watch his mom worry about him. He needed both of his parents to trust Yen Sid and believe in him, no matter what.

"Now, now, I understand this may come as a shock to you but please listen to what I have to say." Yen Sid sighed. The whole idea was absurd. Of course it wasn't easy for them to accept such a drastic decision but he needed the parents to be fully convinced of his idea. "After hearing about your worry and fear, I realize the paparazzi only come after your son and your son only." He explained. "This means, they are chasing him all the time, there is something special about him. There must be a reason as to why they keep going after your son. Right?"

Silver nodded his head. "I was dating Lord Anthony Draventon, the Duke's son. When our secret relationship was exposed, the paparazzi started following me. They keep taking pictures of me every single day, trying to make money off me."

Roberto squeezed his son's hand tightly. He tried to comfort him like any father would do to their kid. In the end, he needs to convince himself too.

Yen Sid looked at Silver and smiled. "I'm sorry to make you move away from the place you call home, but I assure you that this is best for everyone involved. As long as you stay here, they will just keep bothering you. I'm sure you will agree that going far away from them is a better alternative. I understand how painful it is for you to lose your privacy but I'm afraid that this is the only solution I could give you."

Paula was about to object, but her husband cut her short before she could say anything.

"My family and I trust you Yen Sid." Roberto spoke up for Silver. "If I may ask…"

Yen Sid bowed his head, nudging the dad to continue.

"Where will you take our son exactly?" Roberto asked.

Yen Sid smiled. He understood that they would want to hear where their son would be going. "A place far away from the paparazzi. Not just anywhere, but somewhere that they won't be able to find him or follow him." He answered honestly. "However, this place is not in the real world but rather in the magical realm world."

Paula gasped. "A-another world?" She mumbled, still stunned by all this news.

"Yes." He responded. "After all, there is no way they can reach him there. It's safer for Silver, and he won't suffer in fear. Your son can live free from those ignorant camera flashes and the constant presence of the paparazzi. For three weeks."

Paula and Roberto look at each other and wonder if they should do this. But then they thought about it more carefully, maybe this is a chance for Silver to finally escape from the constant intrusion of the paparazzi. Besides, it would be good for their son. He would be safe and protected from another world but yet this will be hard for them.

His parents nodded back at each agreeing to this before looking back at Yen Sid. "Wherever you want to take him, we will happily oblige. You have our full consent to this, we love him so much. We only want what's best for our son and for his safety. We will do anything for him to make sure our son is safe." Paula responded to him.

"Thank you for understanding." Yen Sid said. "I promise you that Silver will be safe."

"Thank you, Yen Sid." Paula thanked him as well. "We trust you to make sure our son will be safe."

Yen Sid smiled. He knows that he can count on the Willow family to do what is best for Silver. He looks at Silver who was silently staring out of focus. "Silver, I want to know if it is okay with you to be sent to another world."

Silver thought about it. He knew that moving away would solve this problem once and for all. It would also prevent the paparazzi from ever finding him. But then again, it would mean leaving everything behind. His parents, his friends, and his familiar surroundings. It would be tough. But maybe, it'll be worth it. After all, he doesn't want to be chased around all the time by the paparazzi every single day and every single night.

He glanced at his parents. They were looking back at him, waiting for his response. It was hard for them that they would have to send him away to a world of the unknown, but he knew it would be best for him.

With full confidence, he spoke. "I'm in."

In the hallway of the Willow Home, Paula has her back against the wall with her husband as they wait for Silver to finish packing up in his room. The night came to them and the family had one final dinner with Silver before he departed.

"I am not sure about sending Silver away." Paula feels worried for her son. She never sent him to go far away from here.

"Mi amor, he will be alright," her husband confirmed. "They will make sure that Silver will be safe in their world, this way the paparazzi won't know where exactly he is."

"I know but I am worried for him." She replied. "But three weeks? I don't think I can stand it that long."

Roberto held both of her hands. "Paula, I know you are worried about Silver. But don't worry, Silver promised us that he will write a letter to us saying how he is."

"Did you really think so?" She said.

Roberto nodded his head. "Of course. I am sure." He kisses his wife on the lip before releasing it.

A door was open causing both parents to look directly at the open door. It's revealing Silver who was wearing a darkish gray swing coat that he put on. The Military style coat is made of wool blend, and nylon. The wool coat has a polyester lining and features closed by black buttons, the warm wool coat has two side pockets. The coat is an irregular coat, the front length is shorter than the back length.The wool coat has a high collar, it has two different styles when standing up or not. He also wore a pair of white stockings and an ankle black leather ankle boot. For accessories, he wore a white cotton gloves to warm his hand and on his head, he wore a black velvet beret.

He gives his parents a very deep curtsy. "Mama, Papa. I am all set."

"Silver." Paual smiles sadly at her son. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you Mama." He giggled.

"Oh hijo!" Paula starts to tear up as she hugs her son tightly, oh how she wishes she could never let go. She couldn't bear to be parted from her beloved son.

Roberto hates to disturb this farewell moment but he has to. "Honey," he said. "It's time."

"Of course." Paula spoke back to him.

The parents escort their son to the back porch of the house. There, their two other children, Valentina and Amy stood in the entrance way, to say their goodbyes to their older brother.

"Valentina," Silver began, turning his head to his little sisters. "Amy."

He hugged both of his siblings before releasing them.

"Gotta miss you Silver." Amy said.

"I will miss you little sis." Silver gave her a small sad smile.

"We'll miss you, too," Valentina said, hugging his back.

"It won't be the same without you here," Amy said quietly.

"Don't worry girls. I am sure you will do just fine without me." Silver said, smiling at them. His dog, Buster, whined as he tugged on his friend's boot lace, begging him to stay. Silver bent down to his dog level.

"I'm sorry, Buster but can you promise to be a good and strong dog for me? I want you to take very good care of my family while I am gone, mostly important to Valentina and Amy." Silver gives a kiss on top of his dog's head.

Buster stood up straight and barked at him. "You can count on me!"

Silver smiles sweetly at him. "That's my boy…"

Yen Sid came shuffling in. "Silver?" he said, bowing. "It's time to go, we have no time left."

So Silver then gives his parents and his siblings along with their dog one last tearful family group hug before he takes a step down on the porch over to Yen Sid. The Willow family stood there on the porch as Yen Sid began to summon the portal doors in front of them that led to another world.

"Well, time for us to get going," Yen Sid said to the glasses-wearing man. "Come, Silver. We must go."

Silver took a deep breath, trying to fight off his tear before he slowly took an steps to the open doors, he took one last look at his family with sadness on his face. "Goodbye! Take care!" Silver waves at them before he steps inside followed by Yen Sid from behind, the door closes shut and vanishes.

The mother looked soft for her son with a single tear roll down on her cheek, while her husband rubbed her back to comfort his wife. "Farewell Silver," Paula said softly. "A great distance will separate us. I pray that you will be safe in their world and I pray you will be protective in their arms."

Meanwhile, inside the portal, Silver looked back as he saw the doors being closed before turning him away. Silver will miss his family dearly, he took out a beautiful golden pendant that's shaped like a heart. He opens and sees the inside which contains a picture of his family. His parents, his two siblings and himself.

He then burst into tears, a single tear drop onto a photo.

Poor Silver, being ambushed by the paparazzi is the worst thing that could happen to him. Never did he expect that he would have to deal with such unwanted attention. Even though he is dating the son of the famous wreaths family in the world, the paparazzi still hound him around. Every day he is followed by cameras and reporters, making him uncomfortable and nervous. I hope that Silver will be able to enjoy his time away from home and he will be safe and sound in another world. But we must trust Yen Sid to make sure that Silver will be safe and protected. If his parents can trust him, then I am sure that you too, readers, can trust him as well.

But can Silver handle being away from his family for three weeks? But then again, if he and his friends are able to stop Ditto from using the wish Star, take down Hex from ever taking over the Magical Universe, and defeating Herbert from the race. I am absolutely positive he can handle it. After all, he was once a shy young man and later, a brave young man who is willing to risk his life for the sake of his family and loved ones.
