Aphmau:

I walked around some more and found a big tree.

I wonder if that's the tree I planted for Levin and Malichi's tree house!?

I walked some more and found a very familiar women holding a baby in her arms and two young boys running around her house.

"W-Wait Donna!? Is that you?" I asked the woman.

"Aphmau!!!! Oh it's been so long! Where have you've been! When I heard the news that you were back I got so excited but I can't leave my boys unsupervised!" She chuckled.

"These are all yours!?" I asked.

"Yep! Well mines and Logan's that is! Those two are the twins and this is the youngest and only girl!" She said cradling the baby in her arms.

"Wow everyone did change... "I said out loud.

"What?" Donna asked.

"Oh nothing....it's just something that Zoey had told me earlier!" I said.

"Well I got my hands full right now so we should meet up another time to talk about things and catch up!" She said.

"Alright sounds good! I'm just gonna look around and see how the others are doing, see you later!" I said leave and heading towards the tree.

There was stairs leading up to the top so I went up and climbed a latter. There was beds surrounding the tree. It looks like a place to keep safe in.

So this is the tree....I'm glad it's still being used for its purpose!

"Oh! I see you made your way up here already!" I said to the stranger that was leaning on one of the branches on the tree.

"I'm just keeping a look out!" He said.

"Oh.....okay." I said.

"Oh Aphmau! So you finally made it up here! Well you were always one to explore your surroundings huh?" Zoey said climbing up the latter.

"Heh I guess!" I said looking around.

"So how are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm better. But I really want to talk about -" I said.

"Garroth......I know! But I don't want to get into that just yet! You still have a lot to catch up to!" Zoey said.

"But Zoey..... you can't keep him away from me!" I said.

"I'm not trying to...... I'm just trying to keep you away from.... death!" She said.

"Death!?" I asked.

"Aphmau I sacrificed my immortality..... I can't imagine what you might have to sacrifice now! I just don't want to lose you again..... and this time not forever!" She said.

"So there's no possible ways to get him back?" I asked worried.

"Of course there is but only if you're willing to do a major sacrifice!" She said.

"Anything for him...... anything for Garroth!" I said.

"Okay we'll talk some other day, now just enjoy the rest of your day and get a good night sleep!" She said and left.

Sacrifice....

I went down the latter and the stairs and went to the well. Laurance was there walking around the place.

"Hey Laurance!" I said.

"Hey ummm how are you doing!?" He asked.

"Better! Thank you!" I said.

"This is still crazy but I'm sure I'll get there!" He chuckled.

"Heh yeah! So what do you think about getting Garroth out of the Irene Dimension!?" I asked.

"Of course! We have to go back for him! Do you know how!?" He asked.

"No, Zoey does but I need help!" I said.

"Okay!? Sure!" He said.

"I need to sacrifice.... immortality!" I said.

"Aphmau ......how are we going to get something like that!?" He asked.

"I don't know.... *sigh* I was hoping you did!" I said.

"Well I do but.... I have to kill someone I care most about and that would be you...... or I'll just have to kill a large group of people!" He said.

"No! We can't do that!" I said.

"I know..... buy don't worry, we'll find another way!" He said.

"Try to ask around to anyone you know in the mean time!" I said.

"Alright! See you around.... Beautiful!" He said and winked.

"Ugh! LAURANCE!!!" I said.

I'm glad some things haven't changed....

"Umm excuse me....Lady Aphmau?" A young girl said.

"Oh it's okay you don't have to call me lady Aphmau! Its just Aphmau now!" I said.

"Well.... A-Aphmau I'm Alexis! Molly and Dale's daughter!" She said.

"Alexis!!! Oh look at you you've grown so much! Where are your parents?" I asked.

"Oh they left 7 years after you left but I still stayed!" She said.

"Oh why didn't you go with them?" I asked.

"Well Phoenix Drop is my home and I wasn't going to leave that behind! Im now one of the guards of the village!" She said.

"Oh that's awesome, it's so great to see you again! Wait how do you still remember me!?" I asked.

"I don't, well I didn't! My parents used to talk a lot about you when I was little and when I heard your name recently passing though town I just remembered!" She said.

"Oh.... well it was fun catching up with you Alexis! See you around!" I said.

"You too lady- oops I mean Aphmau! " she said.

I walked over to Kawaii~ Chan's house and knocked on the door.

"Hello Aphmau come in!" Nekoette said.

We had dinner and we took turns telling stories. After the dinner I thanked Kawaii~Chan for the cake she baked me and stepped outside of their house. It was night and kind of dark by now.

"Hi Apple!" I young man's voice said.

"Kyle!? You... remember me?" I asked surprised.

"Yep I remember you. I surprisenly have very good memory of when I was growing up!" He said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well when Alexis and my parents decided to leave. But me and Alexis decided to stay and become guards of Phoenix Drop!" He said.

"Oh I see so Emma and Corey left too!" I said.

"Yeah they did, but they're okay!" He said.

"I'm sure they are Kyle!" I smiled.

"So Apple I'm here to escort you to the tree house. You and your other guests will be sleeping there tonight!" He said.

"Yeah thanks!" I said.

He walked me up and I thanked him and said good night. I climbed up the latter and everyone was getting ready to sleep. I put the cake down and threw myself on one of the beds.

What a long day....

I said drifting in my sleep....
