Timmy, Vonnie, Spyro, Whirlwind, Superstorm, Lyla, Ronald, Cynder, Colin, Rylee, Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase were walking on the path in the Luxury Forest until they got to the Luxury Forest Depth.
Then Timmy, Vonnie, Spyro, Whirlwind, Superstorm, Lyla, Ronald, Cynder, Colin, Rylee, Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase walked thirty two steps forward.
"We're here." Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee said.
"That's awesome!" Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Why did you want to come here?" Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee asked.
"We want to learn about your past!" Timmy and Vonnie said.
"We see. Then we'll tell you." Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee said.
"I'll go first. You see, after Ronald saved my life from the Bulb Spiders, he and I fell in love with each other, but you might wonder what would have happened if I met Spyro first before going to the Treasure Grove, right?" Cynder asked.
"Right." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"If I met Spyro first and then went to the Treasure Grove and if Spyro saved my life from the Bulb Spiders, nothing would happen and we would still be just friends." Cynder said.
"What would have happened if you met Spyro first before meeting Ronald on May 20, 1996, before the Bulb Spider situation on May 29, 1996, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Well, if I met Spyro before meeting Ronald on May 20, 1996, before the Bulb Spider situation on May 29, 1996, and if Ronald saved my life from the Bulb Spiders then Ronald and I would still be just best friends but if Spyro saved my life then Spyro and I would have fallen in love with each other but that will never be possible due to my parents." Cynder said.
"Wait, your parents didn't want you to meet Spyro, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder said.
"But why? Was it forbidden?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, it wasn't forbidden, Timmy and Vonnie. If it was forbidden then I wouldn't be allowed to meet Spyro after meeting Ronald. It was just a prevention." Cynder said.
"We see." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Good." Cynder said.
"And forbidden is what happened to Ronald." Spyro said.
"Yes, listen to him because he's right." Cynder said.
"We see. But can you tell us about the prevention?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sure. It was a long time ago after I befriended Sunburn, Camo, and Zap on May 20, 1991, and it started on May 30, 1991, in my house." Cynder said.
Then a flashback from May 30, 1991, appeared and Cynder was in her house.
Then Cynder exited her house and walked sixteen steps forward.
Then Ethan and Kris exited Cynder's House.
"Cynder, where do you think that you are going?" Ethan and Kris asked.
Then Cynder turned around.
"Going to meet the Purple Dragon!" Cynder answered.
"Cynder, get back inside the house!" Ethan and Kris demanded.
"But…" Cynder said.
"GET BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE, RIGHT NOW!" Ethan and Kris demanded.
Then Cynder, Ethan, and Kris went back inside Cynder's House.
Then Ethan and Kris turned around.
"No, Cynder, you can't meet the Purple Dragon, and if we caught you trying to meet the Purple Dragon, then you would be grounded for six months and we are going to tell the other citizens this and if those citizens see you trying to meet the Purple Dragon and tell us that, then you would be grounded for twelve months and if you meet and play with the Purple Dragon and we find out then you would be grounded for twelve years! Do you understand that?!" Ethan and Kris said.
"Yes, Father and Mother, I understand." Cynder said.
"Good. Because you are not ready to meet the Purple Dragon yet." Ethan and Kris said.
"When would you think that I am ready to meet the Purple Dragon?" Cynder asked.
"Only after you passed a test and this test would only be given to you after you made one more friend." Ethan and Kris said.
"I understand, Father and Mother." Cynder said.
So, Cynder went to her room and went to her bed and fell asleep.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents didn't think that you were ready to meet Spyro when you were five years old even if you wanted to?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder said.
"So, what was the test?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I can't tell you that yet. First, I have to tell you what happened on the next day after that." Cynder said.
"So, what happened on the next day after the Prevention?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Well, in the afternoon, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap walked to my house and knocked on the door and Father opened it and they asked if I could play with them but Father said that Cynder is busy and then closed the door. Then Sunburn, Camo and Zap walked to the window and looked inside my house. Then Mother started singing a song that was related to one of the songs of my favorite show and started dancing while singing the song and forcing me to dance to the song and then after the song was finished, I left the house with the song and dance in my head and I never forgot the orders and then Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and I went to the Baram Playground. Then Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked if they could take me to see the Purple Dragon and I told them that I appreciate it but I said no, thank you and rejected their offer, not wanting to them get them in more trouble with their parents than they already have, so I listened to my parents' orders and never tried to meet the Purple Dragon again." Cynder said.
"Why would you reject their offer? If we were you, I would accept their offer." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Humph. It wouldn't be worth it. Getting my friends in trouble for something that I want. And besides, I already accepted three of their offers three days in a row because I forgot my parents' orders. On May 27, 1991, parents told me not to go the Croissant Campgrounds though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called the Danger Forest and then I left the house and went to the Baram Playground and then in the Baram Playground, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go the Croissant Campgrounds and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted the offer and went to Croissant Campgrounds with them and then two hours later, I went inside the Danger Forest and found the treasure and got out of the Danger Forest but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Danger Forest which meant that I went to Croissant Campgrounds and I told them that Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go the Croissant Campgrounds with them and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents went to my friends' parents and told them that I accepted Sunburn's, Camo's, and Zap's offer and then Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were grounded for three hours while I was grounded for one hour. Then on May 28, 1991, my parents told me not to go to the Candy Cane Campgrounds though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called the Terrifying Forest and then I left the house and went to the Baram Playground and then in the Baram Playground, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go the Candy Cane Campgrounds and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted their offer and went to the Candy Cane Campgrounds with them and then two hours later, I went inside the Terrifying Forest and found the treasure and got out of the Terrifying Forest but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Terrifying Forest which meant that I went to the Candy Cane Campgrounds and I told my parents that Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go to the Candy Cane Campgrounds with them and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents went to my friends' parents and told them that I accepted Sunburn's, Camo's, and Zap's offer and then Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were grounded for three hours while I was grounded for one hour. Then on May 29, 1991, my parents told me not to the Gumdrop Campgrounds though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called Pirate Forest and then I left the house and went to the Baram Playground and then in the Baram Playground, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go to the Gumdrop Campgrounds and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted their offer and went to the Gumdrop Campgrounds and then two hours later, I went inside the Pirate Forest and found the treasure and got out of the Pirate Forest but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Pirate Forest which meant that I went to the Gumdrop Campgrounds and I told my parents that Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked me if I would like to go with them to the Gumdrop Campgrounds and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents told my friends' parents that I accepted Sunburn's, Camo's, and Zap's offer and then Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were grounded for three hours while I was ground for one hour. But on May 31, 1991, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were around my house when they heard my parents' orders unlike May 27, 28, or 29 because they were already in the Baram Playground in those days, so when they asked if I would like to go with them to meet the Purple Dragon because they knew how sad I was and I smiled, happy to know that they care for me, but I remembered my parents' orders, Mother's song and my mother forcing me to dance, and the last three outcomes, I said that appreciate their offer and said no thank you and rejected their offer and then told them that I don't need to meet the Purple Dragon to make myself feel happy because I'm happy to have friends like them." Cynder said.
"That's impressive, Cynder!" Superstorm and Lyla said.
"It is?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, it is, Timmy and Vonnie." Superstorm and Lyla said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because she did the right thing and I was impressed by what she did then when she told me about the past in the Mystifying Forest." Spyro said.
"Yes, Spyro commented that it was nice and thoughtful of her and that he's impressed and that she did the right thing." Whirlwind said.
"She did?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, she did. She refused their offer to meet me to prevent them from getting in trouble with their parents." Spyro said.
"And by refusing their offer to meet Spyro, she shows that she cares about her friends. That's a remarkable trait." Whirlwind said.
"But did they know about the dangerous places?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sunburn, Camo, and Zap did know about the dangerous places but they didn't know that Croissant Campgrounds was near the Danger Forest and they didn't know that the Candy Cane Campgrounds was near the Terrifying Forest and they didn't know that the Gumdrop Campgrounds was near the Pirate Forest at that time when they were five years old. You can ask them if you don't believe me." Cynder said.
"Sunburn, Camo, and Zap, did you know that the Croissant Campgrounds was near the Danger Forest and that the Candy Cane Campgrounds was near the Terrifying Forest and that Gumdrop Campgrounds was near the Pirate Forest when you were five years old at that time?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, we didn't, Timmy and Vonnie. If we did, we wouldn't ask Cynder to come with us to those campgrounds and if we were near Cynder's House and heard the orders that Ethan and Kris gave Cynder then we wouldn't make the offer to Cynder in the first place." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"You see, Timmy and Vonnie? Sunburn, Camo, and Zap are true friends to Cynder." Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"Yes, we see it. But did your own parents know that those campgrounds were near those dangerous places?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, they did but we only found out after Ethan and Kris told us that those campgrounds were near those dangerous places one hour after Cynder fell asleep on May, 30, 1991, and then Ethan and Kris asked if our parents told us that those campgrounds were near those dangerous and we answered no and then we went to our own parents and then Ethan and Kris asked our own parents if they knew that those campgrounds were near those dangerous places and they said that they did but they didn't tell us and then Ethan and Kris scolded them for not telling us that." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"So, that means your parents were at fault." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"You could say that, Whirlwind, but our parents didn't tell us that because they knew that we were smart enough not to go in there and they thought that Cynder is too. And then Ethan and Kris explained to them that Cynder is an adventurer and explorer so she would go anywhere dangerous which is why they told her not to go to those campgrounds and our parents understood and then taught us from now on which campgrounds are near safer places and which campgrounds are near dangerous places at that time." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap explained.
"What do they mean by that?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Cynder is an adventurer and explorer so she likes to explore, visit places, and find treasure. Despite Cynder being adventurous, she can also be reckless." Spyro said.
Timmy and Vonnie were shocked.
"You mean that Cynder would go anywhere dangerous just to find treasure?!" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, and that's what I learned from Sunburn, Camo, and Zap before Zap told me that Ronald and Cynder had feelings for each other." Spyro said.
"Cynder, what is wrong with you?! Your own life is more important than treasure!" Timmy and Vonnie said.
"For being young, they can sure scold." Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase said to themselves.
"Yes, you're right, Timmy and Vonnie, but sometimes I can't help myself. I get too excited for everything. I love to go on adventures!" Cynder said.
Then Timmy and Vonnie calmed down.
"Then your parents should have given you something that makes you bored so you should not forget your parents' orders." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"There's only one thing that can make me bored." Cynder said.
"What is it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"A Bored Flower." Cynder answered.
"What's a Bored Flower?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"A Bored Flower is a Gray Sunflower but on the night of the Attack Of Baram Village, the Apes destroyed all the Bored Flowers in the village. And there's only one way to get more Bored Flowers and that is going to Bored Mountain but no one ever goes there because it's really really dangerous and is a death sentence going there even Ronald and Cynder knows this and won't go there and that's saying something, especially for Cynder." Zap explained.
"I understand. So what was the test, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First let me tell you how me and Ronald met. On May 20, 1996, me and Ronald were playing with butterflies in our own backyards and then the butterflies went inside the Baram Forest and we chased them and because we weren't looking where we were going, we bumped into each other. Then we apologized to the other for bumping into one another. Then Ronald asked me if I would like to play with him and I said that I would like to play with him. So, Ronald and I played together and after we played together, we became friends and then we went back to our own houses. I don't know how Ronald's side went but I do know how my side went and it went like this…" Cynder said.
Then a flashback from May 20, 1996, appeared and Cynder was inside her house after playing with Ronald and told her parents that Ronald was a Nice Guy but Ethan and Kris were suspicious of Ronald.
"We still don't know if we can trust Ronald, Cynder." Ethan and Kris said.
"Come on! First you say that I can't meet the Purple Dragon five years ago and now you say that you don't know if you can trust Ronald! You never trust my judgment! Why don't you believe me?!" Cynder asked.
"Alright, we'll believe you and just like we said five years ago, we will give you this test." Ethan and Kris said.
"What is the test?" Cynder asked.
"We want you to make sure that Ronald is really a Nice Guy and tell us everything that he does to you and follow our orders. If Ronald is really a Nice Guy as he seems to be, then you passed the test and we would think that you are ready to meet the Purple Dragon. However, if Ronald turns out to be a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Guy then you failed the test and are not ready to meet the Purple Dragon." Ethan and Kris said.
"I understand." Cynder said.
Then Cynder left her house and brought Ronald to her house and he met Ethan and Kris but Ethan and Kris were still suspicious of him.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, Ethan and Kris didn't trust Ronald right from the start?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Nope, they didn't trust Ronald right from the start." Cynder said.
"But we thought they did!" Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Well, then you thought wrong, Timmy and Vonnie!" Cynder said.
"Then was there anyone who they trusted without suspicion?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, and those someones were Sunburn, Camo, and Zap." Cynder said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because on May 20, 1991, we were brought to the Dragon Temple and my parents, Sunburn's parents, Camo's parents, and Zap's parents were there in the Dragon Temple along with Ignitus, Aquafa, Terrador, Minerallayas, Volteer, and Cyril while Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and I played together. And because my parents were there along with Sunburn's parents, Camo's parents, and Zap's parents, they trusted Sunburn, Camo, and Zap without suspicion before they left to go to work." Cynder said.
"So, your parents trusted Sunburn, Camo, and Zap because they knew that they have golden hearts just because their parents were there in the Dragon Temple along with them?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie. And that reason for that is because my parents, Sunburn's parents, Camo's parents, and Zap's parents were all friends and are still friends. And sure Ronald's parents were all friends and are still friends with them. But I didn't meet Ronald with his parents and I wasn't my parents at that time when Ronald and I were ten years old." Cynder said.
"So, what happened?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"We played together tomorrow and then we went to the school but in different parts of the school and then after school, I saw Ronald helping people in the school field and I told my parents this but my parents were still suspicious of him. Then the next day, it went the same way as the day but I saw Ronald helping clean the school and I told my parents this but my parents were still suspicious of him. Then the next day, it went the same way as the day before that day, except I saw Ronald helping out the other citizens and I told my parents this and their suspicion shrank but they were still suspicious of him. Then the next day, went the same way as the day before that day, except the bullies who didn't go to school started bullying me and Ronald saw that and stood up for me and then Ronald and I became best friends after that and I told my parents this and me and Ronald are best friends now and their suspicion grew up instead of shrinking down and now they were really suspicious of Ronald." Cynder said.
"So, what happened?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Then the same thing happened on May 25, 26, and 27 and on May 27, Ethan and Kris finally lost their suspicion of Ronald and trusted him. And this is what they said…" Cynder said.
Then a flashback from May 27, 1996, appeared and Cynder was inside her house.
"We're impressed, Cynder. You did exactly what we said and Ronald is really a Nice Guy and for that, you passed the test and you are ready to meet the Purple Dragon." Ethan and Kris said.
Cynder wasn't even excited but was worried.
"Cynder, didn't you hear us?" Ethan and Kris asked.
"I did but do you really think that I am ready to meet the Purple Dragon?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, we think so. But is something wrong?" Ethan and Kris asked.
"Yes, I just don't feel ready to meet the Purple Dragon yet." Cynder answered.
"Well, Cynder, if you don't feel ready to meet the Purple Dragon, then don't do it. Wait until you really feel ready to meet the Purple Dragon." Ethan and Kris said.
"Okay, I will." Cynder said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, you didn't feel ready to meet Spyro on May 27, 1996?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes." Cynder answered.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my heart, soul, mind, and stomach were talking to me and said that I am not ready to meet the Purple Dragon because I never knew if Ronald was tricking me or not so I decided to wait until May 29, 1996, to meet Spyro. So, on May 28, 1996, I invited Zap to my house after I invited Ronald to my house but Ronald looked rather scared and at first, I thought that he thought that Zap was going to hurt him and I told him that Zap isn't going to hurt him and he told me that wasn't the reason why he's scared and then he told me that he told me that his parents told him that he can't play with any other hybrid or other dragons, except for me, and was afraid of what his parents might do to him if they caught him playing with Zap. So, I convinced Ronald to play with me and Zap by telling him that your parents can forbid you from playing others when you are with them but in this house, we go by my or my parents' rules and they cannot order me around because they're not my parents and telling him to please play with me and Zap and he obliged and played with me and Zap and then Ronald and Zap went to the Guest Room and then they were talking about something and then Ronald and Zap became friends and then we went back to own homes and then two hours later, I saw Ronald and Zap playing together in the Baram Playground and Ronald was nice to him and was a good friend to him too and then I decided that Ronald wasn't tricking me and then decided that I would go to meet the Purple Dragon on May 29, 1996, which was tomorrow at that time." Cynder said.
"But you never got the chance to meet Spyro because of the Small Ape putting that poster up while being disguised as Vanessa." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"That's right, Spyro." Cynder said.
"Um, Cynder, did Zap trust Ronald when he first met him?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, Zap was suspicious of Ronald. It just took eight hours to lower his suspicion but Zap was still a little suspicious of Ronald." Cynder said.
"Um, how about Sunburn and Camo when they saw you two walking to school together?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sunburn and Camo were also suspicious of Ronald but sadly I couldn't do anything to lower their suspicion because I already put Ronald in a risk by having him become Zap's friend and playing with him and I don't want to put him in any more risks." Cynder said.
"It seems like you can't get past anyone without someone being suspicious of Ronald back then." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yeah, I think it was unfair that anyone always has suspicion of Ronald. Nobody ever trusts my judgment." Cynder said.
"Yeah, we understand your feelings about how everyone judges Ronald. Just because he's too nice doesn't mean that he's suspicious or that he's a creature with bad intentions." Spyro said.
"Yes, that's correct, Timmy and Vonnie, but luckily, that Small Ape put the poster up and because Ronald saved my life from the Bulb Spiders, me and Ronald fell in love with each other. Ever since then, everyone trusted my judgment." Cynder said.
"Wow." Spyro said.
"I know, right? It took the day that Ronald saved me from the Bulb Spiders for them to trust my judgment." Cynder said.
"Uh, Cynder, we have a question." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, Timmy and Vonnie?" Cynder asked.
"We know that you passed the test because Ronald is a Nice Guy but why would you fail the test if Ronald was a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Guy?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First, let me tell you another way to say it. Another way to say a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Guy is a Dog in Sheep's Clothing." Cynder said.
"Okay. Now, let us ask the question again. Why would you fail the test if Ronald was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I got fooled but I didn't get fooled." Cynder said.
"We were looking for a deeper meaning." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Then I guess it's time you learned what kind of heart I have." Cynder said.
"Please tell us what kind of heart you have, Cynder." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"I will but only if you really want to know why parents prevented me from meeting Spyro earlier." Cynder said.
"We really do want to know why Ethan and Kris prevented you from meeting Spyro earlier." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Well, it's because I have a gentle heart, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder said.
"You have a gentle heart, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, Timmy and Vonnie. I'm gentle-hearted." Cynder said.
"What would happen if you met Spyro when you were five years old while you're gentle-hearted?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Then I would become a Jerk too." Cynder answered.
"If a Nice Gal, who's gentle-hearted, becomes a Jerk, is there a way to change her back into a Nice Gal?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Once a Nice Gal, who's gentle-hearted, becomes a Jerk, there's no changing her back into a Nice Gal!" Cynder said.
Timmy and Vonnie were shocked.
"You mean there's no way for Nice Gals, who are gentle-hearted, to return to being Nice Gals?!" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie. They would only change into Jerks With A Heart Of Gold and that's about it." Cynder said.
Then Timmy and Vonnie stopped being shocked.
"Now, we understand. Your parents didn't want you to meet Spyro earlier because they didn't want you to change from a Nice Gal to a Jerk, Cynder." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie. I would rather be a Nice Gal than a Jerk any day." Cynder said.
"But what does Ronald have to do with it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Ronald is kind-hearted and his kind-hearted heart prevents him from becoming a Jerk and protects creatures, who have gentle-hearted hearts, from becoming Jerks too." Cynder explained.
"So, if Ronald was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing then his heart wouldn't be kind-hearted, right, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, Timmy and Vonnie, if Ronald was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing then his heart wouldn't be kind-hearted and would be jerk-hearted instead and jerk-hearted hearts won't protect me from becoming a jerk, so I wouldn't be allowed to meet Spyro if he was one but he's not a Dog In Sheep's Clothing because he's a Nice Guy although some might suspect that he is a Dog In Sheep's Clothing because he's too nice but he really is a Nice Guy so Ronald is a Sheep In Sheep's Clothing!" Cynder said.
Then Spyro and Whirlwind smiled.
"Hearing this again makes me so happy and so I'm going to say it again just like the last time: You are extremely lucky to have really Good Parents, Cynder. The Cynder of the original universe would be jealous of you." Spyro said.
"Wait, you didn't get mad when you first heard this, Spyro?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I didn't get mad when I first heard this, Timmy and Vonnie." Spyro said.
"But why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I am not mad because her parents, Ethan and Kris, did nothing wrong. Ethan and Kris preventing Cynder from meeting me earlier because they don't want her to become a Jerk is a good reason for not meeting me, Timmy and Vonnie." Spyro said.
"And I had trouble understanding that too when Cynder told me and Spyro that but after meeting them, I understood that her parents, Ethan and Kris, had a justified reason for preventing their daughter, Cynder, from meeting Spyro earlier." Whirlwind said.
"How do you know that, Whirlwind?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"You should ask Spyro." Whirlwind said.
"Okay, so how do you know that, Spyro?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I know Ethan and Kris care for their daughter, Cynder, and Ronald taught me that I need to look through other's shoes and think about what I would have done if I was in the same place as them, Timmy and Vonnie, and this is what I told Whirlwind." Spyro said.
"We see. But was there a way that you and Spyro could have fallen in love with each other, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"There are and that is for Spyro to save me from the Bulb Spiders on June 7, 1996, but that would be impossible because I have school at that day or save me from the Bulb Spiders and then saving me on September 1 through September 9 because if Spyro had saved me from the Bulb Spiders then my parents would make me do chores instead of going on adventures to find the Gem Hearts and I would be busy with school so we wouldn't see other until September 1st, 1996, but that's impossible too as there is no ninth Tribe and no, Panter's Clan doesn't count as they go places that are too far away from Baram Village and they're not same as the other tribes because they don't have a title and only roam in places near the Mystical City which means that I can only go to places that are near Baram Village. And before I met Ronald, I had the Prevention of meeting the Purple Dragon, so there was no way to meet the Purple Dragon while I go to school." Cynder said.
"We see. But was there a way that you could meet Spyro earlier without the Prevention happening, Cynder" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"There was a way if I didn't go to school and at first, I didn't want to go to school but this is how it happened…" Cynder said.
Then a flashback from September 1st, 1988, appeared and Cynder was in her house and she didn't want to go to school.
"I don't want to go to school. I am scared of it." Cynder said.
"Alright, Cynder, you won't go to school but that means no adventures." Ethan and Kris said.
"No adventures?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, Cynder. No school means no adventures." Ethan and Kris said.
"So, I won't be able to go on adventures?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, Cynder. You won't be able to go on adventures if you don't go to school." Ethan and Kris said.
"Alright, Father and Mother, I'll go to school." Cynder said.
Then Cynder left her house and went to Baram School.
Then eight hours later, Cynder came back home from school and entered her house.
"So, how was your first day of school, Cynder?" Ethan and Kris said.
"It was amazing! My classmates and my teacher are nice! But I'm not going to make friends with my classmates yet!" Cynder answered.
"Um, do you think that I would return there?" Cynder asked.
"Sure, and you would be in that school until June 31, 1997." Ethan and Kris said.
"Thank you, Father and Mother!" Cynder said.
"You're welcome, Cynder." Ethan and Kris said.
Then the flashback ended.
"You mean that if you didn't go to school then you wouldn't be able to go on adventures?!" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right." Cynder said.
"So, that means that you couldn't join Spyro's team, right, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right. If I didn't go to school and Spyro asked me to join his team in Ronald's Mountain, I would be forced to say no and not join his team. And even if I had said yes while I didn't go to school, the Guardians, the Pegasus Village's citizens, the Griffin Village's citizens, the Dragon Village citizens, and/or my babysitters would bring me back to my house after my first adventure and my parents would ground me for going on an adventure. But that never happened as I went to school." Cynder said.
"Wow, your parents are strict and hard, Cynder." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Father and Mother might be strict and hard on me but they are really Good Parents nonetheless because they care for me. And besides, I'm an Adventurer and I would rather choose the choice to go to school and getting the Prevention than the choice not to go to school and not being allowed to go on adventures. An Adventurer that can't go on adventures… that would make me sad." Cynder said.
"Yeah, I understand that now because if I was in your place, I would choose the first choice instead of the second choice too." Whirlwind said.
"You would?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Timmy and Vonnie, how would you feel if you were an Adventurer that couldn't go on adventures?" Whirlwind asked.
"We never thought of it that way but we guess that we wouldn't like it and it would make us sad too." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"You see, Timmy and Vonnie. It's important to look through other shoes and think about how someone would feel if they couldn't do the thing they love to do and what I told you is what Spyro told me at that time before I met Cynder's parents." Whirlwind said.
"Yes, and Ronald understands exactly how I feel so I always tell him about my problems and that is another reason why I love him." Cynder said.
"Um, would Ronald be able to meet Spyro when he was five years old?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, he will, but he didn't want to meet Spyro when he was five years old." Cynder said.
"Then when did he want to meet Spyro?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I wanted to meet Spyro when I was three years old, Timmy and Vonnie, but my parents gave me a Prevention and not allowing me to meet him." Ronald said.
"Why? But, Cynder, I thought you said that Ronald is kind-hearted and that his heart prevents him from becoming a Jerk, so he should be allowed to meet Spyro and play with him, so why couldn't he?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I did say that Ronald is kind-hearted and his heart does prevent him from becoming a Jerk, so you're right that Ronald should be allowed to meet Spyro and play with him, so why couldn't he? Well, it's because there's a drawback to kind-hearted hearts." Cynder said.
"What is it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First, let me tell you about the drawback to gentle-hearted hearts. The gentle-heartedness of the heart doesn't activate until we turn three years old. Now, I will tell you about the drawback to kind-hearted hearts. The kind-heartedness of the heart doesn't activate until we turn five years old. So, Ronald would have just a heart because the kind-heartedness of his heart isn't activated. So, if he met Spyro while the kind-heartedness of his heart wasn't activated, instead of Ronald changing Spyro into a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, Spyro would change Ronald into a Jerk, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder explained.
"So, it's a similar reason why your parents didn't want you to meet Spyro earlier, Cynder, but unlike you, Ronald's parents didn't want Ronald to meet Spyro earlier because the kind-heartedness of his heart wasn't activated yet." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"That's right, Timmy and Vonnie. You should ask Ronald if you want to learn more about his past." Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Ronald, were you afraid to go to school too?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I was." Ronald said.
"And did your parents tell you the same thing that Ethan and Kris told Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, they did, so I went to school." Ronald said.
"And did your parents do the same thing to you like what Ethan and Kris did to Cynder when you told them that you wanted to meet the Purple Dragon?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, but there was no test, actually there was but at that time, they didn't say anything about it so I thought there was no test, and that happened on May 20, 1989. And then the next day, Mother started singing a song related to one of the songs of my favorite show and started dancing while singing and forcing me to dance to the song." Ronald said.
"We see. It's no wonder why you and Cynder are a perfect match to each other. Because you can relate to each other's experience and understand how the other felt." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, we do!" Ronald and Cynder said.
"And Ronald was the one who asked my parents to tell me the reason why I couldn't meet the Purple Dragon because if they don't have a reason for it then they will be as bad as his parents and then my parents told me that I have a gentle heart and then I went to the library and read about gentle-hearted and I learned and realized that Father and Mother were trying to protect my heart and keeping me from becoming a Jerk and I was so grateful and thankful to have parents like Father and Mother. And after I thank them, this is what happened…" Cynder said.
Then a flashback from May 30, 1996, appeared and Cynder was in the Baram Library.
"Father and Mother, thank you for taking care of me and being Good Parents to me." Cynder said.
"You're welcome, Cynder." Ethan and Kris said.
"Father and Mother, is there anything else that I could do for you?" Cynder asked.
"We want you to complete a little request." Ethan and Kris said.
"What is it?" Cynder asked.
"If the Purple Dragon befriends Sunburn, Camo, and Zap before befriending you, we want you to eavesdrop on the Purple Dragon's conversation with Sunburn, Camo, and Zap." Ethan and Kris said.
"But isn't it wrong to eavesdrop?" Cynder asked.
"Well, it is, but you would never know if what we said is true or not if you don't eavesdrop." Ethan and Kris said.
"So, you want me to confirm your claims, right?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, Cynder. We want you to make sure if the Purple Dragon is a Jerk, a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, or a Nice Guy. If the Purple Dragon is a Jerk like we suspect him to be, then we want you to spend little time each day with him after you find that out and tell us that we were right. But if the Purple Dragon is a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold or a Nice Guy, then come tell us that we were wrong and we won't order you for twelve months." Ethan and Kris said.
"Yes, Father and Mother, I will complete the request. I will make you two proud of me!" Cynder said.
Then Cynder walked to Ronald and he was reading a book about Aquaworms.
"Ronald, what are you reading?" Cynder asked.
"I'm reading a book about Aquaworms." Ronald said.
"Can please read me the whole story?" Cynder asked.
"Sure." Ronald answered.
Then Ronald went back to chapter 1 of the book.
Then Ronald read the whole book to Cynder.
"Were you almost done with the book before I asked you what you were reading?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, I was." Ronald answered.
"I'm sorry." Cynder said.
"You don't need to apologize, Cynder. I'm happy to start a book over for you or my friends." Ronald said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents suspected that Spyro is a Jerk, right, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder answered.
"Whirlwind, how did you feel about that when you first heard that?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I was shocked so I asked Spyro to please tell me that Ethan and Kris were wrong about him but he was honest and told me that Ethan and Kris were right about him." Whirlwind said.
"Really?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Really. And I was a Jerk who cared nothing about the enemies that I defeated like the Swamp Spiders, the Bulb Spiders, the Frog Weeds, and the Growths and didn't feel any pity for them but they were really harmless but have gone mad because of the Dark Army and after I learned that from Ronald, I felt really bad and felt ashamed of myself for not feeling pity for them. Ronald has taught me a lot of things and I changed into a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold because of him which is why I helped him and Cynder get together." Spyro said.
"We see." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"And I won't fall in love with someone until I really get to know them but I won't fall in love with anyone else as I'm already in a relationship with Ronald." Cynder said.
"And I won't fall in love with someone until I really get to know them too but I won't fall in love with anyone else as I'm already in a relationship with Cynder." Ronald said.
"Why wouldn't you fall in love with someone if you don't really get to know them, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my parents taught me the true meaning of love, Timmy and Vonnie. It was on July 10, 1992, and it went like this…" Cynder asked.
Then a flashback from July 10, 1992, appeared and Cynder was in her house while she was six years old.
"Father and Mother, can I ask you a question about love?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, you can, Cynder." Ethan and Kris said.
"Can you fall in love with someone at first sight?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, but it's not true love, Cynder. That's just your hormones acting." Ethan and Kris said.
"How about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve hours later? Is that true love?" Cynder asked.
"No, Cynder, that still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"One day later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Two days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Three days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Four days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Five days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Six days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Seven days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Eight days later?" Cynder asked.
"Still isn't true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"Nine days later?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, that's true love." Ethan and Kris said.
"So, I have to really get to know someone from Day 0 to Day 8 and then on Day 9, I can fall in love with someone that I'm truly in love with?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, Cynder." Ethan and Kris said.
"And we will teach you the true meaning of love." Ethan and Kris said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents taught you that before you can fall in love with someone, you need to really get to know them first starting from Day 0 and ending with Day 8 and then on Day 9, you can fall in love with that someone, right, Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder said.
"How about you? Why wouldn't you fall in love with someone if you don't really get to know them, Ronald?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my parents taught me the true meaning of love too, Timmy and Vonnie. It was on July 10, 1992, and it went like this…" Ronald said.
Then a flashback from July 10, 1992, appeared and Ronald was in his house while he was six years old.
"Father and Mother, can I ask you a question about love?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, you can, Ronald." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Can you fall in love with someone at first sight?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, but it's not true love, Ronald. That's just your hormones acting." Thorn and Saphira said.
"How about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve hours later? Is that true love?" Ronald asked.
"No, Ronald, that still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"One day later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Two days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Three days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Four days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Five days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Six days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Seven days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Eight days later?" Ronald asked.
"Still isn't true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Nine days later?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, that's true love." Thorn and Saphira said.
"So, I have to really get to know someone from Day 0 to Day 8 and then on Day 9, I can fall in love with someone that I'm truly in love with?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, Ronald." Thorn and Saphira said.
"And we will teach you the true meaning of love." Thorn and Saphira said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents taught you that before you can fall in love with someone, you need to really get to know them first starting from Day 0 and ending with Day 8 and then on Day 9, you can fall in love with that someone, right, Ronald?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Ronald said.
"So, what time did you ask your own parents the first question?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"5:00." Ronald and Cynder answered.
"Wait, so they happened at the same time?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Ronald and Cynder answered.
"So, you adopted your own parents' beliefs, right, Ronald and Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Ronald and Cynder said.
"So, that's why you two falling in love with each other on May 29, 1996, after the Bulb Spider situation is true love because you got to really know each other before that day, right, Ronald and Cynder?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Were Sunburn, Camo, and Zap taught the same thing by their own parents?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Nope but we're not going to force our beliefs on them." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I'm a Nice Gal, Timmy and Vonnie." Cynder said.
"And because I'm a Nice Guy, Timmy and Vonnie." Ronald said.
"And if we forced our beliefs then that means that we would be Jerks but we're not so we're not going to force our beliefs on Sunburn, Camo, and Zap." Ronald and Cynder said.
"We see. Now, can we return to talking about the kinds of hearts because we want to ask a question about drawbacks?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sure, we can. Now, what do you want to ask us?" Ronald and Cynder asked.
"Is there another drawback to being kind-hearted and being gentle-hearted?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, there is and that is we have trouble trusting anyone, who hurts us or kids or messes with our life, and we found it hard to forgive Whirlwind, so we were mean to her, but we were able to forgive Boom, Grum, Hummy, Tesler, and Vasket because they would never hurt anyone, even kids, but they did cause a disruption in the village though." Ronald and Cynder said.
"We understand now." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"And I'll go third. You see, after Rylee saved my life from the Corm Spiders, she and I fell in love with each other, but you might wonder what would have happened if I met Lyla first before going to the Treasure Grove, right?" Colin asked.
"Right." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"If I met Lyla first and then went to the Treasure Grove and if Lyla saved my life from the Corm Spiders, nothing would happen and we would still be just friends." Colin said.
"What would have happened if you met Lyla first before meeting Rylee on May 20, 1996, before the Corm Spider situation on May 29, 1996, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Well, if I met Lyla before meeting Rylee on May 20, 1996, before the Corm Spider situation on May 29, 1996, and if Rylee saved my life from the Corm Spiders then Rylee and I would still be just best friends but if Lyla saved my life then Lyla and I would have fallen in love with each other but that will never be possible due to my parents." Colin said.
"Wait, your parents didn't want you to meet Lyla, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"But why? Was it forbidden?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, it wasn't forbidden, Timmy and Vonnie. If it was forbidden then I wouldn't be allowed to meet Lyla after meeting Rylee. It was just a prevention." Colin said.
"We see." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Good." Colin said.
"And forbidden is what happened to Rylee." Lyla said.
"Yes, listen to her because she's right." Colin said.
"We see. But can you tell us about the prevention?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sure. It was a long time ago after I befriended Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase on May 20, 1991 and it started on May 30, 1991." Colin said.
Then a flashback from May 30, 1991, appeared and Colin was in his house.
Then Colin exited his house and walked sixteen steps forward.
Then Kasen and Esther exited Colin's House.
"Colin, where do you think that you are going?" Kasen and Esther asked.
Then Colin turned around.
"Going to meet the Purple Unicorn!" Colin answered.
"Colin, get back inside the house!" Kasen and Esther demanded.
"But…" Colin said.
"GET BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE, RIGHT NOW!" Kasen and Esther demanded.
Then Colin, Ethan, and Kris went back inside Colin's House.
Then Kasen and Esther turned around.
"No, Colin, you can't meet the Purple Unicorn, and if we caught you trying to meet the Purple Unicorn, then you would be grounded for six months and we are going to tell the other citizens this and if those citizens see you trying to meet the Purple Unicorn and tell us that, then you would be grounded for twelve months and if you meet and play with the Purple Unicorn and we find out then you would be grounded for twelve years! Do you understand that?!" Kasen and Esther said.
"Yes, Father and Mother, I understand." Colin said.
"Good. Because you are not ready to meet the Purple Unicorn yet." Kasen and Esther said.
"When would you think that I am ready to meet the Purple Unicorn?" Colin asked.
"Only after you passed a test and this test would only be given to you after you made one more friend." Kasen and Esther said.
"I understand, Father and Mother." Colin said.
So, Colin went to his room and went to his bed and fell asleep.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents didn't think that you were ready to meet Lyla when you were five years old even if you wanted to?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"So, what was the test?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I can't tell you that yet. First, I have to tell you what happened on the next day after that." Colin said.
"So, what happened on the next day after the Prevention?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Well, in the afternoon, Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase walked to my house and knocked on the door and Father opened it and they asked if I could play with them but Father said that Colin is busy and then closed the door. Then Moonfreeze, Duna and Erase walked to the window and looked inside my house. Then Mother started singing a song that was related to one of the songs of my favorite show and started dancing while singing the song and forcing me to dance to the song and then after the song was finished, I left the house with the song and dance in my head and I never forgot the orders and then Moonfreeze, Duna, Erase, and I went to the Daram Playground. Then Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked if they could take me to see the Purple Unicorn and I told them that I appreciate it but I said no, thank you and rejected their offer, not wanting to them get them in more trouble with their parents than they already have, so I listened to my parents' orders and never tried to meet the Purple Unicorn again." Colin said.
"Why would you reject their offer? If I were you, I would accept their offer." Superstorm said.
"Humph. It wouldn't be worth it. Getting my friends in trouble for something that I want. And besides, I already accepted three of their offers three days in a row because I forgot my parents' orders. On May 27, 1991, parents told me not to go the Croissant Campsites though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called the Danger Jungle and then I left the house and went to the Daram Playground and then in the Daram Playground, Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go the Croissant Campsites and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted the offer and went to Croissant Campsites with them and then two hours later, I went inside the Danger Jungle and found the treasure and got out of the Danger Jungle but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Danger Jungle which meant that I went to Croissant Campsites and I told them that Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go the Croissant Campsites with them and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents went to my friends' parents and told them that I accepted Moonfreeze's, Duna's, and Erase's offer and then Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase were grounded for three hours while I was grounded for one hour. Then on May 28, 1991, my parents told me not to go to the Candy Cane Campsites though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called the Terrifying Jungle and then I left the house and went to the Daram Playground and then in the Daram Playground, Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go the Candy Cane Campsites and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted their offer and went to the Candy Cane Campsites with them and then two hours later, I went inside the Terrifying Jungle and found the treasure and got out of the Terrifying Jungle but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Terrifying Jungle which meant that I went to the Candy Cane Campsites and I told my parents that Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go to the Candy Cane Campsites with them and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents went to my friends' parents and told them that I accepted Moonfreeze's, Duna's, and Erase's offer and then Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase were grounded for three hours while I was grounded for one hour. Then on May 29, 1991, my parents told me not to the Gumdrop Campsites though it wasn't dangerous but it was near a dangerous place called Pirate Jungle and then I left the house and went to the Daram Playground and then in the Daram Playground, Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go to the Gumdrop Campsites and because I forgot my parents' orders, I accepted their offer and went to the Gumdrop Campsites and then two hours later, I went inside the Pirate Jungle and found the treasure and got out of the Pirate Jungle but with twenty four scratches on me and when I returned home, my parents knew that I went to the Pirate Jungle which meant that I went to the Gumdrop Campsites and I told my parents that Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase asked me if I would like to go with them to the Gumdrop Campsites and I said yes because I forgot their orders and then my parents told my friends' parents that I accepted Moonfreeze's, Duna's, and Erase's offer and then Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase were grounded for three hours while I was ground for one hour. But on May 31, 1991, Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase were around my house when they heard my parents' orders unlike May 27, 28, or 29 because they were already in the Daram Playground in those days, so when they asked if I would like to go with them to meet the Purple Unicorn because they knew how sad I was and I smiled, happy to know that they care for me, but I remembered my parents' orders, Mother's song and my mother forcing me to dance, and the last three outcomes, I said that appreciate their offer and said no thank you and rejected their offer and then told them that I don't need to meet the Purple Unicorn to make myself feel happy because I'm happy to have friends like them." Colin said.
"That's impressive, Colin!" Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"It is?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, it is, Timmy and Vonnie." Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because he did the right thing and I was impressed by what he did then when he told me about the past in the Mystifying Forest." Lyla said.
"Yes, Lyla commented that it was nice and thoughtful of him and that she's impressed and that he did the right thing." Superstorm said.
"He did?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, he did. He refused their offer to meet me to prevent them from getting in trouble with their parents." Lyla said.
"And by refusing their offer to meet Lyla, he shows that he cares about his friends. That's a remarkable trait." Superstorm said.
"But did they know about the dangerous places?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase did know about the dangerous places but they didn't know that Croissant Campsites was near the Danger Jungle and they didn't know that the Candy Cane Campsites was near the Terrifying Jungle and they didn't know that the Gumdrop Campsites was near the Pirate Jungle at that time when they were five years old. You can ask them if you don't believe me." Colin said.
"Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase, did you know that the Croissant Campsites was near the Danger Jungle and that the Candy Cane Campsites was near the Terrifying Jungle and that Gumdrop Campsites was near the Pirate Jungle when you were five years old at that time?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, we didn't, Timmy and Vonnie. If we did, we wouldn't ask Colin to come with us to those Campsites and if we were near Colin's House and heard the orders that Kasen and Esther gave Colin then we wouldn't make the offer to Colin in the first place." Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase said.
"You see, Timmy and Vonnie? Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase are true friends to Colin." Superstorm and Lyla said.
"Yes, we see it. But did your own parents know that those Campsites were near those dangerous places?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, they did but we only found out after Kasen and Esther told us that those Campsites were near those dangerous places one hour after Colin fell asleep on May, 30, 1991, and then Kasen and Esther asked if our parents told us that those Campsites were near those dangerous and we answered no and then we went to our own parents and then Kasen and Esther asked our own parents if they knew that those Campsites were near those dangerous places and they said that they did but they didn't tell us and then Kasen and Esther scolded them for not telling us that." Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase said.
"So, that means your parents were at fault." Superstorm said.
"You could say that, Superstorm, but our parents didn't tell us that because they knew that we were smart enough not to go in there and they thought that Colin is too. And then Kasen and Esther explained to them that Colin is an adventurer and explorer so he would go anywhere dangerous which is why they told him not to go to those Campsites and our parents understood and then taught us from now on which Campsites are near safer places and which Campsites are near dangerous places at that time." Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase explained.
"What do they mean by that?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Colin is an adventurer and explorer so he likes to explore, visit places, and find treasure. Despite Colin being adventurous, he can also be reckless." Lyla said.
Timmy and Vonnie were shocked.
"You mean that Colin would go anywhere dangerous just to find treasure?!" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, and that's what I learned from Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase before Erase told me that Rylee and Colin had feelings for each other." Lyla said.
"Colin, what is wrong with you?! Your own life is more important than treasure!" Timmy and Vonnie said.
"For being young, they can sure scold." Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase said to themselves.
"You're right, Timmy and Vonnie. But sometimes, I can't help myself. I love to go on adventures. I get too excited for everything!" Colin said.
Then Timmy and Vonnie calmed down.
"Then your parents should have given you something that makes you bored so you should not forget your parents' orders." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"There's only one thing that can make me bored." Colin said.
"What is it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"A Tired Flower." Colin answered.
"What's a Tired Flower?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"A Tired Flower is a Platinum Sunflower but on the night of the Attack Of Daram Village, the Apes destroyed all the Tired Flowers in the village. And there's only one way to get more Tired Flowers and that is going to Tired Mountain but no one ever goes there because it's really really dangerous and is a death sentence going there even Rylee and Colin knows this and won't go there and that's saying something, especially for Colin." Erase explained.
"I understand. So what was the test, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First let me tell you how me and Rylee met. On May 20, 1996, me and Rylee were playing with butterflies in our own backyards and then the butterflies went inside the Daram Forest and we chased them and because we weren't looking where we were going, we bumped into each other. Then we apologized to the other for bumping into one another. Then Rylee asked me if I would like to play with her and I said that I would like to play with her. So, Rylee and I played together and after we played together, we became friends and then we went back to our own houses. I don't know how Rylee's side went but I do know how my side went and it went like this…" Colin said.
Then a flashback from May 20, 1996, appeared and Colin was inside his house after playing with Rylee and told his parents that Rylee was a Nice Gal but Kasen and Esther were suspicious of Rylee.
"We still don't know if we can trust Rylee, Colin." Kasen and Esther said.
"Come on! First you say that I can't meet the Purple Unicorn five years ago and now you say that you don't know if you can trust Rylee! You never trust my judgement! Why don't you believe me?!" Colin asked.
"Alright, we'll believe you and just like we said five years ago, we will give you this test." Kasen and Esther said.
"What is the test?" Colin asked.
"We want you to make sure that Rylee is really a Nice Gal and tell us everything that she does to you and follow our orders. If Rylee is really a Nice Gal as she seems to be, then you passed the test and we would think that you are ready to meet the Purple Unicorn. However, if Rylee turns out to be a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Gal then you failed the test and are not ready to meet the Purple Unicorn." Kasen and Esther said.
"I understand." Colin said.
Then Colin left his house and brought Rylee to his house and he met Kasen and Esther but Kasen and Esther were still suspicious of her.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, Kasen and Esther didn't trust Rylee right from the start?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Nope, they didn't trust Rylee right from the start." Colin said.
"But I thought they did!" Lyla said.
"Well, then you thought wrong, Lyla!" Colin said.
"Then was there anyone who they trusted without suspicion?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, and those someones were Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase." Colin said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because on May 20, 1991, we were brought to the Unicorn Temple and my parents, Moonfreeze's parents, Duna's parents, and Erase's parents were there in the Unicorn Temple along with Ignitas, Aquafo, Terrados, Minerallayor, Volskara, and Cysil while Moonfreeze, Duna, Erase, and I played together. And because my parents were there along with Moonfreeze's parents, Duna's parents, and Erase's parents, they trusted Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase without suspicion before they left to go to work." Colin said.
"So, your parents trusted Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase because they knew that they have golden hearts just because their parents were there in the Unicorn Temple along with them?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Lyla. And that reason for that is because my parents, Moonfreeze's parents, Duna's parents, and Erase's parents were all friends and are still friends. And sure Rylee's parents were all friends and are still friends with them. But I didn't meet Rylee with her parents and I wasn't my parents at that time when Rylee and I were ten years old." Colin said.
"So, what happened?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"We played together tomorrow and then we went to the school but in different parts of the school and then after school, I saw Rylee helping people in the school field and I told my parents this but my parents were still suspicious of her. Then the next day, it went the same way as the day but I saw Rylee helping clean the school and I told my parents this but my parents were still suspicious of her. Then the next day, it went the same way as the day before that day, except I saw Rylee helping out the other citizens and I told my parents this and their suspicion shrank but they were still suspicious of her. Then the next day, went the same way as the day before that day, except the bullies who didn't go to school started bullying me and Rylee saw that and stood up for me and then Rylee and I became best friends after that and I told my parents this and me and Rylee are best friends now and their suspicion grew up instead of shrinking down and now they were really suspicious of Rylee." Colin said.
"So, what happened?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Then the same thing happened on May 25, 26, and 27 and on May 27, Kasen and Esther finally lost their suspicion of Rylee and trusted him. And this is what they said…" Colin said.
Then a flashback from May 27, 1996, appeared and Colin was inside his house.
"We're impressed, Colin. You did exactly what we said and Rylee is really a Nice Gal and for that, you passed the test and you are ready to meet the Purple Unicorn." Kasen and Esther said.
Colin wasn't even excited but was worried.
"Colin, didn't you hear us?" Kasen and Esther asked.
"I did but do you really think that I am ready to meet the Purple Unicorn?" Colin asked.
"Yes, we think so. But is something wrong?" Kasen and Esther asked.
"Yes, I just don't feel ready to meet the Purple Unicorn yet." Colin answered.
"Well, Colin, if you don't feel ready to meet the Purple Unicorn, then don't do it. Wait until you really feel ready to meet the Purple Unicorn." Kasen and Esther said.
"Okay, I will." Colin said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, you didn't feel ready to meet Lyla on May 27, 1996?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes." Colin answered.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my heart, soul, mind, and stomach were talking to me and said that I am not ready to meet the Purple Unicorn because I never knew if Rylee was tricking me or not so I decided to wait until May 29, 1996, to meet you, Lyla. So, on May 28, 1996, I invited Erase to my house after I invited Rylee to my house but Rylee looked rather scared and at first, I thought that she thought that Erase was going to hurt her and I told her that Erase isn't going to hurt her and she told me that wasn't the reason why she's scared and then she told me that she told me that her parents told her that she can't play with any other hybrid or other unicorns, except for me, and was afraid of what her parents might do to her if they caught her playing with Erase. So, I convinced Rylee to play with me and Erase by telling her that your parents can forbid you from playing others when you are with them but in this house, we go by my or my parents' rules and they cannot order me around because they're not my parents and telling her to please play with me and Erase and she obliged and played with me and Erase and then Rylee and Erase went to the Guest Room and then they were talking about something and then Rylee and Erase became friends and then we went back to own homes and then two hours later, I saw Rylee and Erase playing together in the Daram Playground and Rylee was nice to her and was a good friend to her too and then I decided that Rylee wasn't tricking me and then decided that I would go to meet the Purple Unicorn on May 29, 1996, which was tomorrow at that time." Colin said.
"But you never got the chance to meet me Lyla because of the Small Ape putting that poster while being disguised as Tamessa." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"That's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"Um, Colin, did Erase trust Rylee when she first met her?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"No, Erase was suspicious of Rylee. It just took eight hours to lower her suspicion but Erase was still a little suspicious of Rylee." Colin said.
"Um, how about Moonfreeze and Duna when they saw you two walking to school together?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Moonfreeze and Duna were also suspicious of Rylee but sadly I couldn't do anything to lower their suspicion because I already put Rylee in a risk by having her become Erase's friend and playing with her and I don't want to put her in any more risks." Colin said.
"It seems like you can't get past anyone without someone being suspicious of Rylee back then." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yeah, I think it was unfair that anyone always has suspicion of Rylee. Nobody ever trusts my judgement." Colin said.
"Yeah, we understand your feelings about how everyone judges Rylee. Just because she's too nice doesn't mean that she's suspicious or that she's a creature with bad intentions." Lyla said.
"Yes, that's correct, Timmy and Vonnie, but luckily, that Small Ape put the poster up and because Rylee saved my life from the Corm Spiders, me and Rylee fell in love with each other. Ever since then, everyone trusted my judgment." Colin said.
"Wow." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"I know, right? It took the day that Rylee saved me from the Corm Spiders for them to trust my judgment." Colin said.
"Uh, Colin, we have a question." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, Timmy and Vonnie?" Colin asked.
"We know that you passed the test because Rylee is a Nice Gal but why would you fail the test if Rylee was a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Gal?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First, let me tell you another way to say it. Another way to say a Jerk pretending to be a Nice Gal is a Dog in Sheep's Clothing." Colin said.
"Okay. Now, let me ask the question again. Why would you fail the test if Rylee was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I got fooled but I didn't get fooled." Colin said.
"We were looking for a deeper meaning." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Then I guess it's time you learned what kind of heart I have." Colin said.
"Please tell us what kind of heart you have, Colin." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"I will but only if you really want to know why parents prevented me from meeting Lyla earlier." Colin said.
"We really do want to know why Kasen and Esther prevented you from meeting Lyla earlier." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Well, it's because I have a gentle heart, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"You have a gentle heart, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, Timmy and Vonnie. I'm gentle-hearted." Colin said.
"What would happen if you met Lyla when you were five years old while you're gentle-hearted?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Then I would become a Jerk too." Colin answered.
"If a Nice Guy, who's gentle-hearted, becomes a Jerk, is there a way to change him back into a Nice Guy?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Once a Nice Guy, who's gentle-hearted, becomes a Jerk, there's no changing him back into a Nice Guy!" Colin said.
Timmy and Vonnie were shocked.
"You mean there's no way for Nice Guys, who are gentle-hearted, to return to being Nice Guys?!" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie. They would only change into Jerks With A Heart Of Gold and that's about it." Colin said.
Then Timmy and Vonnie stopped being shocked.
"Now, we understand. Your parents didn't want you to meet Lyla earlier because they didn't want you to change from a Nice Guy to a Jerk, Colin." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie. I would rather be a Nice Guy than a Jerk any day." Colin said.
"But what does Rylee have to do with it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Rylee is kind-hearted and her kind-hearted heart prevents her from becoming a Jerk and protects creatures, who have gentle-hearted hearts, from becoming Jerks too." Colin explained.
"So, if Rylee was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing then her heart wouldn't be kind-hearted, right, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, Lyla, if Rylee was a Dog In Sheep's Clothing then her heart wouldn't be kind-hearted and would be jerk-hearted instead and jerk-hearted hearts won't protect me from becoming a jerk, so I wouldn't be allowed to meet Lyla if she was one but she's not a Dog In Sheep's Clothing because she's a Nice Gal although some might suspect that she is a Dog In Sheep's Clothing because she's too nice but she really is a Nice Gal so Rylee is a Sheep In Sheep's Clothing!" Colin said.
Then Superstorm and Lyla smiled.
"Hearing this again makes me so happy and so I'm going to say it again just like the last time: You are extremely lucky to have really Good Parents, Colin. The Colin of the original universe would be jealous of you." Lyla said.
"Wait, you didn't get mad when you first heard this, Lyla?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I didn't get mad when I first heard this, Timmy and Vonnie." Lyla said.
"But why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I am not mad because her parents, Kasen and Esther, did nothing wrong. Kasen and Esther preventing Colin from meeting me earlier because they don't want him to become a Jerk is a good reason for not meeting me, Timmy and Vonnie." Lyla said.
"And I had trouble understanding that too when Colin told me and Lyla that but after meeting them, I understood that his parents, Kasen and Esther, had a justified reason for preventing their son, Colin, from meeting Lyla earlier." Superstorm said.
"How do you know that, Superstorm?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"You should ask Lyla." Superstorm said.
"Okay, so how do you know that, Lyla?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I know Kasen and Esther care for their son, Colin, and Ryler taught me that I need to look through other's shoes and think about what I would have done if I was in the same place as them, Timmy and Vonnie, and this is what I told Superstorm." Lyla said.
"I see. But was there a way that you and Lyla could have fallen in love with each other, Colin?" Superstorm asked.
"There are and that is for Lyla to save me from the Corm Spiders on June 7, 1996, but that would be impossible because I have school at that day or save me from the Corm Spiders and then saving me on September 1 through September 9 because if Lyla had saved me from the Bulb Spiders then my parents would make me do chores instead of going on adventures to find the Gem Hearts and I would be busy with school so we wouldn't see other until September 1st, 1996, but that's impossible too as there is no ninth Tribe. And before I met Rylee, I had the Prevention of meeting the Purple Unicorn, so there was no way to meet the Purple Unicorn while I go to school." Colin said.
"I see. But was there a way that you could meet Lyla earlier without the Prevention happening, Colin" Superstorm asked.
"There was a way if I didn't go to school and at first, I didn't want to go to school but this is how it happened…" Colin said.
Then a flashback from September 1st, 1988, appeared and Colin was in his house and he didn't want to go to school.
"I don't want to go to school. I am scared of it." Colin said.
"Alright, Colin, you won't go to school but that means no adventures." Kasen and Esther said.
"No adventures?" Colin asked.
"Yes, Colin. No school means no adventures." Kasen and Esther said.
"So, I won't be able to go on adventures?" Colin asked.
"Yes, Colin. You won't be able to go on adventures if you don't go to school." Kasen and Esther said.
"Alright, Father and Mother, I'll go to school." Colin said.
Then Colin left his house and went to Daram School.
Then eight hours later, Colin came back home from school and entered his house.
"So, how was your first day of school, Colin?" Kasen and Esther said.
"It was amazing! My classmates and my teacher are nice! But I'm not going to make friends with my classmates yet!" Colin answered.
"Um, do you think that I would return there?" Colin asked.
"Sure, and you would be in that school until June 31, 1997." Kasen and Esther said.
"Thank you, Father and Mother!" Colin said.
"You're welcome, Colin." Kasen and Esther said.
Then the flashback ended.
"You mean that if you didn't go to school then you wouldn't be able to go on adventures?!" Superstorm asked.
"So, that means that you couldn't join Lyla's team, right, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right. If I didn't go to school and Lyla asked me to join her team in Rylee's Mountain, I would be forced to say no and not join her team. And even if I had said yes while I didn't go to school, the Guardians, the Pegasus Village's citizens, the Horse Village's citizens, the Unicorn Village citizens, and/or my babysitters would bring me back to my house after my first adventure and my parents would ground me for going on an adventure. But that never happened as I went to school." Colin said.
"Wow, your parents are strict and hard, Colin." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Father and Mother might be strict and hard on me but they are really Good Parents nonetheless because they care for me. And besides, I'm an Adventurer and I would rather choose the choice to go to school and getting the Prevention than the choice not to go to school and not being allowed to go on adventures. An Adventurer that can't go on adventures… that would make me sad." Colin said.
"Yeah, I understand that now because if I was in your place, I would choose the first choice instead of the second choice too." Superstorm said.
"You would?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Timmy and Vonnie, how would you feel if you were an Adventurer that couldn't go on adventures?" Superstorm asked.
"We never thought of it that way but we guess that we wouldn't like it and it would make us sad too." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"You see, Timmy and Vonnie. It's important to look through other shoes and think about how someone would feel if they couldn't do the thing they love to do and what I told you is what Lyla told me at that time before I met Colin's parents." Superstorm said.
"Yes, and Rylee understands exactly how I feel so I always tell her about my problems and that is another reason why I love her." Colin said.
"Um, would Rylee be able to meet Lyla when she was five years old?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, she will, but she didn't want to meet Lyla when she was five years old." Colin said.
"Then when did she want to meet Lyla?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I wanted to meet Lyla when I was three years old, Lyla, but my parents gave me a Prevention and not allowing me to meet her." Rylee said.
"Why? But, Colin, I thought you said that Rylee is kind-hearted and that her heart prevents her from becoming a Jerk, so she should be allowed to meet Lyla and play with her, so why couldn't she?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I did say that Rylee is kind-hearted and her heart does prevent him from becoming a Jerk, so you're right that Rylee should be allowed to meet Lyla and play with her, so why couldn't she? Well, it's because there's a drawback to kind-hearted hearts." Colin said.
"What is it?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"First, let me tell you about the drawback to gentle-hearted hearts. The gentle-heartedness of the heart doesn't activate until we turn three years old. Now, I will tell you about the drawback to kind-hearted hearts. The kind-heartedness of the heart doesn't activate until we turn five years old. So, Rylee would have just a heart because the kind-heartedness of her heart isn't activated. So, if she met Lyla while the kind-heartedness of her heart wasn't activated, instead of her changing Lyla into a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, Lyla would change her into a Jerk, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin explained.
"So, it's a similar reason why your parents didn't want you to meet Lyla earlier, Colin, but unlike you, Rylee's parents didn't want Rylee to meet Lyla earlier because the kind-heartedness of her heart wasn't activated yet." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"That's right, Timmy and Vonnie. You should ask Rylee if you want to learn more about her past." Colin said.
"Rylee, were you afraid to go to school too?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, I was." Rylee said.
"And did your parents tell you the same thing that Kasen and Esther told Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, they did, so I went to school." Rylee said.
"And did your parents do the same thing to you like what Kasen and Esther did to Colin when you told them that you wanted to meet the Purple Unicorn?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, but there was no test, actually there was but at that time, they didn't say anything about it so I thought there was no test, and that happened on May 20, 1989. And then the next day, Mother started singing a song related to one of the songs of my favorite show and started dancing while singing and forcing me to dance to the song." Rylee said.
"I see. It's no wonder why you and Colin are a perfect match to each other. Because you can relate to each other's experience and understand how the other felt." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Yes, we do!" Colin and Rylee said.
"And Rylee was the one who asked my parents to tell me the reason why I couldn't meet the Purple Unicorn because if they don't have a reason for it then they will be as bad as her parents and then my parents told me that I have a gentle heart and then I went to the library and read about gentle-hearted and I learned and realized that Father and Mother were trying to protect my heart and keeping me from becoming a Jerk and I was so grateful and thankful to have parents like Father and Mother. And after I thank them, this is what happened…" Colin said.
Then a flashback from May 30, 1996, appeared and Colin was in the Daram Library.
"Father and Mother, thank you for taking care of me and being Good Parents to me." Colin said.
"You're welcome, Colin." Kasen and Esther said.
"Father and Mother, is there anything else that I could do for you?" Colin asked.
"We want you to complete a little request." Kasen and Esther said.
"What is it?" Colin asked.
"If the Purple Unicorn befriends Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase before befriending you, we want you to eavesdrop on the Purple Unicorn's conversation with Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase." Kasen and Esther said.
"But isn't it wrong to eavesdrop?" Colin asked.
"Well, it is, but you would never know if what we said is true or not if you don't eavesdrop." Kasen and Esther said.
"So, you want me to confirm your claims, right?" Colin asked.
"Yes, Colin. We want you to make sure if the Purple Unicorn is a Jerk, a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, or a Nice Gal. If the Purple Unicorn is a Jerk like we suspect her to be, then we want you to spend little time each day with her after you find that out and tell us that we were right. But if the Purple Unicorn is a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold or a Nice Gal, then come tell us that we were wrong and we won't order you for twelve months." Kasen and Esther said.
"Yes, Father and Mother, I will complete the request. I will make you two proud of me!" Colin said.
Then Colin walked to Rylee and she was reading a book about Aquaworms.
"Rylee, what are you reading?" Colin asked.
"I'm reading a book about Aquaworms." Rylee said.
"Can please read me the whole story?" Colin asked.
"Sure." Rylee answered.
Then Rylee went back to chapter 1 of the book.
Then Rylee read the whole book to Colin.
"Were you almost done with the book before I asked you what you were reading?" Colin asked.
"Yes, I was." Rylee answered.
"I'm sorry." Colin said.
"You don't need to apologize, Colin. I'm happy to start a book over for you or my friends." Rylee said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents suspected that Lyla is a Jerk, right, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin answered.
"Superstorm, how did you feel about that when you first heard that?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"I was shocked so I asked Lyla to please tell me that Kasen and Esther were wrong about her but she was honest and told me that Kasen and Esther were right about her." Superstorm said.
"Really?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Really. And I was a Jerk who cared nothing about the enemies that I defeated like the Marsh Spiders, the Corm Spiders, the Frog Weeds, and the Growths and didn't feel any pity for them but they were really harmless but have gone mad because of the Light Army and after I learned that from Rylee, I felt really bad and felt ashamed of myself for not feeling pity for them. Rylee has taught me a lot of things and I changed into a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold because of her which is why I helped her and Colin get together." Lyla said.
"We see." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"And I won't fall in love with someone until I really get to know them but I won't fall in love with anyone else as I'm already in a relationship with Rylee." Colin said.
"And I won't fall in love with someone until I really get to know them too but I won't fall in love with anyone else as I'm already in a relationship with Colin." Rylee said.
"Why wouldn't you fall in love with someone if you don't really get to know them, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my parents taught me the true meaning of love, Timmy and Vonnie. It was on July 10, 1992, and it went like this…" Colin asked.
Then a flashback from July 10, 1992, appeared and Colin was in his house while he was six years old.
"Father and Mother, can I ask you a question about love?" Colin asked.
"Yes, you can, Colin." Kasen and Esther said.
"Can you fall in love with someone at first sight?" Colin asked.
"Yes, but it's not true love, Colin. That's just your hormones acting." Kasen and Esther said.
"How about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve hours later? Is that true love?" Colin asked.
"No, Colin, that still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"One day later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Two days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Three days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Four days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Five days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Six days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Seven days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Eight days later?" Colin asked.
"Still isn't true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"Nine days later?" Colin asked.
"Yes, that's true love." Kasen and Esther said.
"So, I have to really get to know someone from Day 0 to Day 8 and then on Day 9, I can fall in love with someone that I'm truly in love with?" Colin asked.
"Yes, Colin." Kasen and Esther said.
"And we will teach you the true meaning of love." Kasen and Esther said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents taught you that before you can fall in love with someone, you need to really get to know them first starting from Day 0 and ending with Day 8 and then on Day 9, you can fall in love with that someone, right, Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"How about you? Why wouldn't you fall in love with someone if you don't really get to know them, Rylee?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because my parents taught me the true meaning of love too, Timmy and Vonnie. It was on July 10, 1992, and it went like this…" Rylee said.
Then a flashback from July 10, 1992, appeared and Rylee was in her house while she was six years old.
"Father and Mother, can I ask you a question about love?" Rylee asked.
"Yes, you can, Rylee." Saul and Tory said.
"Can you fall in love with someone at first sight?" Rylee asked.
"Yes, but it's not true love, Rylee. That's just your hormones acting." Saul and Tory said.
"How about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve hours later? Is that true love?" Rylee asked.
"No, Rylee, that still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"One day later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Two days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Three days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Four days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Five days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Six days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Seven days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Eight days later?" Rylee asked.
"Still isn't true love." Saul and Tory said.
"Nine days later?" Rylee asked.
"Yes, that's true love." Saul and Tory said.
"So, I have to really get to know someone from Day 0 to Day 8 and then on Day 9, I can fall in love with someone that I'm truly in love with?" Rylee asked.
"Yes, Rylee." Saul and Tory said.
"And we will teach you the true meaning of love." Saul and Tory said.
Then the flashback ended.
"So, your parents taught you that before you can fall in love with someone, you need to really get to know them first starting from Day 0 and ending with Day 8 and then on Day 9, you can fall in love with that someone, right, Rylee?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Rylee said.
"So, what time did you ask your own parents the first question?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"5:00." Rylee and Colin answered.
"Wait, so they happened at the same time?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Rylee and Colin answered.
"So, you adopted your own parents' beliefs, right, Rylee and Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Rylee said.
"So, that's why you two falling in love with each other on May 29, 1996, after the Corm Spider situation is true love because you got to really know each other before that day, right, Rylee and Colin?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, that's right, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin and Rylee said.
"Were Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase taught the same thing by their own parents?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Nope but we're not going to force our beliefs on them." Colin and Rylee said.
"Why?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Because I'm a Nice Guy, Timmy and Vonnie." Colin said.
"And because I'm a Nice Gal, Timmy and Vonnie." Rylee said.
"And if we forced our beliefs then that means that we would be Jerks but we're not so we're not going to force our beliefs on Moonfreeze, Duna, and Erase." Colin and Rylee said.
"I see. Now, can we return to talking about the kinds of hearts because I want to ask a question about drawbacks?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Sure, we can. Now, what do you want to ask us?" Rylee and Colin asked.
"Is there another drawback to being kind-hearted and being gentle-hearted?" Timmy and Vonnie asked.
"Yes, there is and that is we have trouble trusting anyone, who hurts us or kids or messes with our life, and we find it hard to forgive Superstorm, so we were mean to him, but we were able to forgive Boom, Grum, Hummy, Tesler, and Vasket because they would never hurt anyone, even kids, but they did cause a disruption in the village though." Colin and Rylee said.
"We understand now." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Do you have any questions to ask us?" Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee asked.
"No, we don't." Timmy and Vonnie said.
"Well, we do." Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase said.
"Well, then what is it?" Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee asked.
"Well, if you were taught the true meaning of love by your respective parents then why did you ship us with our crushes when we first met our crushes before we got together with our crushes?" Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase asked.
"Well, because you weren't taught by your respective parents the true meaning of love so we did that because it's better to support our friends than going against it and you knew the meaning of love so you deserve being together with your crushes." Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee said.
"We see." Sunburn, Moonfreeze, Camo, Duna, Zap, and Erase said.
"Now, we better go back to the Mystical Temple." Ronald, Cynder, Colin, and Rylee said.
