The Love Legacy - Generation 4 Chapter 29

 

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!

Last time we left the Love teens plotting a secret plan to help Aneira visit Arwyn, with Octavia having her own secret agenda as usual... but will this work, with so many people involved, or will this backfire? 

Read on to find out!


Nick: so.... let me get this straight... you two are the only ones that are actually where you said you would be because....
























Elena: Aneira has gone to Elfland looking for Arwyn, together with Trystan and Jimmy.

Nick: right... and Octavia is...

Elena: we have no idea where Octavia is really, but she's away on whatever secret mission she's on at the moment, although her mum thinks she's here with us at cheerleading camp!

Nick: .... cheerleading camp?

Tyler: yeah... apparently a camping trip wasn't enough for her and she had to add the cheerleading part... I hope my family never finds out, or I'll never hear enough from my sisters...

Nick: *laughs*
























Tyler: *grunts* there's nothing to laugh about, my sisters can be mean...

Nick: yeah, sorry... so... that's where Harry and I come in, we are hosting your cheerleading camp... now I think I have the bigger picture... and I'll make sure to tell Harry too, so we can share the same story... although I do hope nobody is going to come and ask us, I don't feel comfortable with this stuff... 

Tyler: me neither! I hate all this...

Elena: oh, and I didn't mention the vampire cousins are also in, they are covering for us at school, saying we have food poisoning... or something....

Tyler: and apparently James is in it too... but he's the only one of the little ones...
























Nick: ok... anybody else? There are so many people involved, are you sure everybody will share the same story? To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit nervous... if this comes out, my mum is going to kill me...

Elena: no, we have briefed everybody... 

Tyler: except James, who heard it from Aneira... and the cheerleading camp thing also came from Aneira, we know about it but are we sure everybody is informed?

Elena: well... I hope so....

Nick: but let's say all goes well... what if anybody wants to see pictures? 

Elena: that's true! I hadn't thought about this.... and wait, what if they come to a match and we are not in the cheerleading squad?

























Elena: I will have to join the cheerleaders to make this work! 

Tyler: I don't think that's the main issue here....

























Nick: besides, your birthdays are coming up, right? You won't be in high school much longer...

























Elena: true! Nick, you're the best cousin, you made me panic and then took it away!

Tyler: except for the not having any pictures from the camp to show part....

Elena: oh don't worry about that, we can always just come back quickly to take some... or use Photoshop!

























Harry: sorry for the wait guys, it took some time to fire up the old grill and to defrost some skewers.. but dinner's ready!

























Harry: what have I missed?

Elena: ah... long story... it all started with Arwyn disappearing from the face of the earth and Aneira going crazy, what with the new world and everything...

Tyler: please don't say the whole thing again, my brain is hurting...

Nick: don't worry guys - Harry, I'll tell you the whole story later. But basically, the cousins here have conceived a master plan and we're their cover-up...

























Harry: okay... if that works for you.... but tell me, is this one of those major Love drama situations? I've heard stories from your parents... and your aunts and uncles.... are we part of something big?

Elena: well... maybe... I guess maybe at some point in the future one might look back and tell this story too, yes... 

Tyler: if we are successful....

Harry: and what about your sister? Is she also part of the plan? I hope she's doing okay, we haven't talked much recently....

Nick: .....

Elena: well, speaking of which: are you not ashamed of yourself to even mention her? You've been leading her on for ages for what, just a bit of fun? Or to please your ego?

Harry: wait... what?

Elena: actually, I shouldn't even be talking to you since you basically ruined her life. But I'm willing to call a truce as I'm grateful that you are helping us now. But yeah, stay away from her, will you? I'm trying to make her move on... to someone who's actually interested in her...

Harry: er... I'm not sure how we got here or what we're even talking about?

Tyler: awkward much... 

Elena: well, anyway, I'm going to bed. Thanks for dinner... and for opening the campsite for us...

Nick: sure, I hope it's not too cold, there's no heating but the snow has already melted so you guys shouldn't freeze...

Elena: no worries we'll be fine... I just hope Aneira and the others also manage to find a warm place to sleep tonight, I haven't heard from her the whole day, I guess they're still travelling... 

























Aneira: this is it guys, we made it!!

Trystan: finally... I thought we had got lost again...

Jimmy: great! I knew you could do it!
























Aneira: this is the entrance to the elven kingdom... it's so beautiful with the snow! Too bad this place is ruled by my evil auntie, otherwise it would be nice to visit more often...

























Jimmy: come on, let's go.... so close to our goal now! And I'm even starting to feel comfortable in these weird clothes... they have a very weird sense of fashion over here...

























Trystan: at least the special fabric keeps us warm!

























Aneira: true, but you should not be wearing your beanie, Trystan, we're trying to blend in, remember?

Trystan: yeah yeah... not that we've met many people so far anyway... besides, you're wearing a scarf too...

Aneira: but mine blends in with the outfit!

Jimmy: but hey, true, where is everybody? We were lucky that nobody was home when we "borrowed" these clothes from the hanging line outside that cottage... but at least it was a sign that somebody was living there. But the rest of the place looks deserted...

Trystan: I don't know, maybe they left or are hiding from our evil auntie?

Trystan: maybe we should do the same... I don't like this place, I have a bad feeling... besides, we shouldn't have stolen these clothes, I'm not comfortable with this...

























Aneira: relax Trys, we're almost there. Remember: we find the castle, sneak in, find Arwyn and save him from whatever horrors he's going through... easy...  we'll be on our way home sooner than you think!

























Jimmy: speaking of which, we should hurry if we want to be on our way back before sunset! We don't know how long the actual mission is going to take... Aneira, where did you say the castle was?

Aneira: not too far, we're almost there...

Jimmy: exciting! We should go on secret missions more often guys!

Trystan: speaking of secret... remind me why are we using the main road again? I thought we didn't want to be seen...

Aneira: true, but it's the quickest way... and the plan is to blend in, nobody will notice, relax Trys...

Jimmy: and again, nobody is around anyway!

Trystan: the fact that we don't see anybody doesn't mean that anybody can't see us.... 

























Aneira: here we are... the castle is over there.... it looks different, I thought it was bigger...

























Jimmy: haha maybe they downsized...

Aneira: my auntie? No way...

























Trystan: so... what are we waiting for... let's go and save your boyfriend, sister...

Jimmy: I second that, Trys! Let's go kick some a---

Aneira: Jimmy! That's not why we're here... although I wouldn't mind saying a thing or two to my evil auntie, if I get the chance!

























Aneira: it definitely looks different...

Jimmy: looks cool! Shall we go in?

























Trystan: yeah, but how do we get in again... certainly not from the front door...

Aneira: of course not, there must be another entrance somewhere... we should have a look at the back maybe...

























Trystan: but first let's get out of here first, they're going to see us! 

























Trystan: We can hide in the forest while we decide the best break-in route, okay? I don't fancy any close encounters with crazy auntie...

Aneira: sure... holy plumbob, I can't believe we're so close! Arwyn must be here somewhere...

























Berwyn: so... whose turn is it...

Arwyn: I built the last one, so this one's for you, brother...

Berwyn: yeah... I think it's fair... I wonder what the next activity is going to be, when the snow is gone...

Arwyn: don't ask yourself too many questions brother, it doesn't help....

























Arwyn: better just live in the moment and forget about everything else... but it's too painful...

























Arwyn: wait.... was that....

























Berwyn: was that what, brother?

Arwyn: nothing... I must be hallucinating now... for a moment I thought I had heard her voice...

























Berwyn: ... Ar... you're not doing yourself any good... we can see if we can find a way, you know...

Arwyn: we've already talked about it Ber... it's impossible... we're stuck here.... forever ....

Blodwen: so? Who's coming to help me build the best snowpal ever? I'm waiting!!

























Berwyn: my snowpal building duties are calling me, brother... enjoy your 10 min break...

























Aneira: oh my goodness! Guys, they're here!! I can't believe it!! Arwyn!!!

Trystan: wow, that was major luck, what are the chances!

Aneira: wait before you speak of luck... crazy cousin is also here...

























Jimmy: poor guys, they're on babysitting duties! We need to save them, An!

























Aneira: yes, we will save them, Jimmy... we'll take them back home with us...

Trystan: great, but now, let's move... the sooner we get this done the earlier we can be on our way home... 

























Jimmy: go talk to him An... the evil child is busy, she might not notice... slow and steady!

Aneira: one second... I need a moment.... all that time wondering how Arwyn was doing... I can't believe we're finally here!!

Trystan: please tell her to speed up....

Jimmy: yeah.. An you've been so brave! But now that we're here... just go talk to him... please...

Aneira: yes... I will.....

























Aneira: *whispering* Arwyn.... Arwyn!

Arwyn: I'm hearing it again... I must be really hallucinating badly... I wonder whether they used the right mushrooms for the soup today...

Aneira: Arwyn! Over here!

Arwyn: what...

























Arwyn: Annie?! Oh my goodness, Annie!? Is it really you?!

























Aneira: Arwyn!! 



Arwyn: Annie... it is you... holy plumbob! How... 

Aneira: ah... long story...

























Arwyn: nevermind how, I'm so glad to see you!! I missed you so much...

























Jimmy: woohoooo! Kiss her already!!

Trystan: shut up Jimmy, we're trying to keep a low profile here... you don't want to wake the evil cousin...

























Jimmy: there's my man, woohooo!

Trystan: jeez, get a room, sister....

























Blodwen: and what is going on now, what is all this noise..... ah!!! 

Berwyn: holy plumbob, now, this is a surprise!

























Blodwen: and what is she doing here! I certainly did not invite her!

Berwyn: well, she's a princess too, she doesn't need an invite... beisdes, by taking away our phones and forbidding us to communicate with them... you kind of did invite her....

Blodwen: grrrr this is not what I had planned!!

























Blodwen: and stop it already! Ewww he's eating her face!

Berwyn: I'm sure she doesn't mind *laughs*

























Berwyn: well done Annie, so brave to come here! And so romantic... my brother is a lucky man...

























Arwyn: An... I can't believe you're here... this feels like a dream come true.... 

Aneira: oh Arwyn, I missed you so much.... what happened to you? I didn't hear from you... and then we woke up in this new world on Snowflake Day...

























Aneira: I was so worried... and I had to come...

Arwyn: my brave girl... thank you for finding me... and I'm sorry if I made you worry, and believe me, if I could have found a way to get in touch with you I would have but...

Aneira: but?

Arwyn: she took away our phones and.... 

Aneira: and?

























Arwyn: she threatened us... said if we were to get in touch with any of you, she would make sure we would never see you again... ever...

Aneira: oh Arwyn I'm so sorry, I should have come sooner... I'm sure when I tell my dad he can---

Blodwen: *cough cough* ehm ehm....

























Blodwen: what do you two think you're doing? And you cousin, how dare YOU come to my realm univited... and distract my guard from his duties!

Aneira: woah, I had forgotten about her...

























Blodwen: this is unacceptable! So leave this instance and don't you ever dare coming back!

























Berwyn: uh oh, she's having a meltdown...

Trystan: hey kid, how dare you treat my sister like that...

Jimmy: and there she goes again... I see she hasn't changed one bit....

























Blodwen: and you! I remember you too... I thought you were cool at first, but you're just like the rest of them... I hate you!

Jimmy: oh wow, you broke my heart there...

























Jimmy: not! Seriously Trystan, how can this one be related to you guys...

Trystan: I have no idea... but I have also no idea how my dad can have a sister like that... they are so different....

Aneira: hey lady, listen to me. I know you don't have great examples at home but you should stop this behavour at once. Can't you see everybody dislikes you? Is this what you want for yourself?

Blodwen: that's not true! I am a princess, everybody adores me! They must too, otherwise they'll be in trouble!

























Aneira: that's exactly the point, do you want to be liked freely or by force... you're still young, you can still change this...

Blodwen: oh just shut uuuuup! You're making no sense there!

Aneira: somebody needs to tell you Blodwen, you're growing up to be worse than your mother, but you can still change that if you want...

























Berwyn: about time somebody told that evil kid a thing or too... your girlfriend is so brave Ar, you're a lucky man...

Arwyn: I know... and I'm so proud of her....

Berwyn: listen, you should go back with her... don't worry about me, I'll figure things out. But you go and be happy... you deserve it...

Arwyn: but...

Berwyn: no buts, you belong together brother...

























Jimmy: ouch ouch I'm hurt... Trystan help me this kid hurt me so much... she said she hates me! What shall I do with my life now...

Blodwen: well, you brought this on yourself you know... but if you apologise to me I might reduce it to dislike only... oh I'm so kind today, aren't I?

Aneira: Arwyn...

























Aneira: we need to go... while she's distracted... the others will find us later...

Berwyn: yes brother go... now... I'll keep her here... 

Arwyn: Berwyn...

Berwyn: no, you go, now, it's an order! I was born first by a minute or so, remember? I get to order you around. Go and be happy brother... I'll find my way. And maybe if I'm lucky, a lovely lady might come to save me too one day *winks*

Aneira: thank you, Berwyn... really.... 

Arwyn: let's go now, before it's too late....

























Jimmy: no, really, I'm so hurt that I don't know how I can live another day when I know this evil little kid hates me!

Trystan: oh no, you're so unlucky cousin, I don't think I could live knowing that someone hates me...

Jimmy: it's not just someone, it's this little lady here... I was so hoping to receive some appreciation from her, or even awe...

Trystan: *laughs*

Blodwen: wait... are you teasing me?

























Jimmy: I don't know, are we?

Trystan: *laughs*

Blodwen: you can't fool me! Do you think I'm stupid? Besides, your acting skills are rubbish...

Jimmy: oh, another stab in the back... that hurts... not.... 

























Jimmy: wait... is she still staring at me?

Trystan: yep...

Jimmy: how do I make her stop?

Blodwen: you can't.... wait a minute....

























Blodwen: where do you two think you're going? Hey!! I did not give you permission to leave! Hey! Come back!! 

























Blodwen: you fooled me....

Jimmy: well that was fun...

Trystan: yes but... how do we go back now?

























Berwyn: well, can you run faster than she can? 

Trystan: I'm not a very sporty type...

Berwyn: then, turn and run to the trees, you can make your way back to the portal through the forest... it will be harder to catch you, but you are more likely to get lost... 

Trystan: er.....

























Blodwen: you think you fooled me, yes... but you forgot one tiny detail *smirks* .... we're probably late for dinner, which means....

























Gale: Arwyn! There you are, I've been looking for you three everywhere. My daugher is late for dinner, where is she and why is she not with you? And....

























Gale: Aneira...

Arwyn: so close.....

Aneira: ... hello auntie Gale....

Gale: what are you doing here?! I don't remember inviting you... and what are you two doing here alone anyway...

























Gale: you're not escaping, are you?

Arwyn: An....

Aneira: don't worry, leave it to me. She's my aunt, she won't harm us...

Blodwen: mummy!!! Thank goodness you caught them, they're escaping!

























Gale: well well well.... explain yourself, niece....

























Blodwen: yes, explain this to the Queen, cousin... I want to see how you get out of this one... 

Berwyn: wait!!! I can explain...

























Aneira: no need, Berwyn, I can deal with my evil auntie by myself.

Gale: what did you call me? You may be my niece but I'm still the Queen of the Elves! You shall not speak to me like that...

Blodwen: yes, tell her off, mummy!

























Aneira: ah, yes. You're the mighty Queen of the Elves... so mighty, that you won't even release these two poor guys that served you all their lives from the torture that is looking after your evil daughter! No, that's the way you repay these faithful people, you purposefully make their lives miserable!

Blodwen: you won't speak to my mummy like that! Mummy, throw her in the dungeons already!

























Jimmy: oh shut up you imp... besides, I'm sure if your brother and father were here you two would not be saying any of this, am I right? 

Blodwen: ....well, they are not, so deal with it...

Jimmy: and you people probably don't have dungeons anymore... what would you need them for? Elves are peaceful people... although yourself and your mother might be the exception...

Blodwen: watch out how you speak to me, human, or you might need to prove yourself wrong...

Berwyn: *laughs* I hadn't had this much fun in a long time! You two are hilarious... do you fancy a job at the palace, Jimmy? With my brother gone, you would make my days so much more cheerful!

Jimmy: er.... thank you, but no thank you?

Blodwen: and your brother is not going anywhere unless I say so, he's staying right here! But you, human, can apply for a job as additional servant if I allow it... and I have to see about that...

























Aneira: honestly, I don't know why my father never said anything... bt you're evil and cruel, and make me feel ashamed to be part elf! Actually no, I know many lovely elves, including your son and your husband. You bring shame to their name!

Gale: anything else?

Aneira: yes, we are going to leave right now and you will let us go and reflect on your evilness and hopefully change your ways going forward! 

Arwyn: you go girl!!

























Gale: are you done?

Aneira: yes...

Gale: good.... 

























Gale: because I have just started! How dare you come to my realm univinted and speak to me like that, I will not allow it! You say I make you feel ashamed of being part elf... but you make me feel ashamed of my brother's only part elf family!

Arwyn: woah, even you cannot say that!

Gale: I have no idea what he was thinking, he was following his heart yes, but because of that, I had to pay and be Queen!

Aneira: well, and you disliked it so much that you stayed on and abused of your power...

























Gale; no... YOU have no idea what it has meant to me... for my family... you have no idea what having such a responsibility mean... and if that means giving in to my daughter's little whims... so be it! Too bad if that means you won't be able to have a happy ever after with your boyfriend, I don't care!

























Gale: you people can't always get everything... and you need to stop thinking that you can just come here when you feel like and take what you feel like! I'm the Queen and I shall not be spoken to like that. Niece or not, you're accused of high treason and you will be thrown in the dungeons! 

























Gale: But don't worry, you'll have a trial before that.

Aneira: what?! Are you out of your mind?!

Gale: if you all want to meet me in the great hall, your trial will begin in five minutes.

Aneira: but this is crazy! I want to speak to uncle Gwydion...

Arwyn: An, he's not here..,. nor is Glyn... oh my goodness I was dreading this might happen....

Gale: indeed, he is not here, and neither is my son... they're away on diplomatic travels... and guess why I hardly see my husband and son these days? Guess whose fault is that? Exactly... yours!!

Aneira: but how can it be my---

Gale: I don't care, if you want a trial, you'll come to the great hall in five minutes. Otherwise, that's a trip straight to the dungeons!
























Gale: so, here we are. Let the trial begin!

Jimmy: trial... who does she think she is? Jeez Trys, your family is weird...

Trystan: don't tell me...

Gale: Aneira Love, you are accused of trying to steal one of my daughter's guards and of trying to help one of my subjects escape my realm.
























Arwyn: An... are you alright? It will be okay... I hope...

Aneira: I just need to breathe otherwise I'm going to explode... 

Berwyn: I can't believe she's actually putting her niece on trial! 
























Gale: so? What do you have to say for yourself?

Jimmy: Trys... I don't know if I can keep quiet here... and look at your cousin's smug face! I can't stand it.... these two are completely crazy!
























Aneira: quite a few things, actually. How dare you treat Arwyn and Berwyn as slaves!

Gale: they are not slaves, they are my daugther's guards! And watch your tone, you don't want to try my patience, niece..

Aneira: well, technically, they are Glyn's guards, not Blodwen's. She's just a spoiled little brat that follows her mother's example way too closely. What does Glyn have to say about this?

Gale: that is none of your business!

Aneira: but of course it is my business when you're talking about my boyfriend!
























Aneira: and you will let him go right now!

Gale: kid, I will do no such thing and you know it, so deal with it...
























Aneira: but it's not fair! You can't force him to be here against his will! I always thought this was a free country! Do your people have no freedom anymore?

Gale: but of course they do, so long as I approve of it of course.

Aneira: you're a tyrant aunt Gale, I can't believe uncle Gwydion approves of this!
























Blodwen: don't you dare talk about my dad! He's a wonderful daddy and only wants the best for us! And I want to keep my guards, so end of the story!
























Jimmy: ... do you mind?

Trystan: go ahead...
























Jimmy: okay, that's enough crazy ladies!

Arwyn: I admire your courage, Jimmy...
























Blodwen: how dare you address us like that! Mummy, throw this one in the dungeon at once!

Jimmy: to be honest I don't care... but what I care about is that we arranged this secret trip to help my cousin check that her boyfriend was still alive, because it turns out he was not able to let her know he was okay because someone had threatened him and taken away his phone!
























Jimmy: you and your daughter are crazier than I thought... and believe me, I have heard some stories about you...

Berwyn: he's good...

Arwyn: he's so brave... such an inspiration....
























Arwyn: he's right you know! What you've done to us is not okay. And I need to tell you!

Jimmy: you tell her, man!

Aneira: wow, Arwyn! I didn't expect this!

Arwyn: I had high hopes when my uncle gave us to you when we were kids. I thought you were kind and just. And I was proud to be Master Glyn's guard. But now... what you are doing now is despicable! And besides, only done out of spite for your niece and to please your tyrant daughter!
























Gale: oh my goodness the boy has a voice... I had never heard him speak so much!

Blodwen: the insolence! Mummy, he can't talk to you like this, he's just a guard! He's nobody...
























Arwyn: oh my goodness what did I do... I just insulted the Queen... I'm going to die in a dungeon...

Aneira: I'm so proud of you, Arwyn! And don't worry, nobody's going to end in a dungeon... my dad would not allow it...

Jimmy: hey kid, don't you dare insult my friend ever again, or...
























Blodwen: or what? What will you do? Huh? 

Gale: I'm bored... 

Blodwen: ... I'm the princess, you can't do anything to me. But you, on the other hand, will do what I say...
























Jimmy: yeah right... in your dreams!

Blodwen: I... I hate you!

Jimmy: finally, a mutual feeling! Grow up kid...
























Gale: enough! What you said Arwyn might be partly true but has no relevance whatsoever to this case.

Blodwen: indeed! What matters here is that I have claimed you both as my guards and cousin Aneira here wanted to rob me of one of you! That is a crime and for this you will pay!

Gale: I have decided. You are guilty and will be taken to the dungeon immediately!
























Jimmy: but you can't do this! She's your niece! 

Arwyn: And you know that we are right...

Aneira: don't worry Arwyn, my dad will not let this happen. Do you really want me to call my dad, aunt Gale? Do you think he will approe of what's going on here?

Gale: that doesn't matter at all. He walked away from his kingdom and therefore has no right to interfere anymore. Besides, he'll never know that you are here...

Aneira: well, he'll kind of figure it out when Trystan goes back home without me...

Gale: you misunderstood me, niece. When I said you are guilty and will be taken to the dungeon... I meant all of you....
























Aneira: what? 

Arwyn: you can't do that!

Jimmy: you ladies are completely nuts! Let's get out of here, guys...

Berwyn: bomb about to explode on the count of three..... two.....

Gwydion: and what is going on here?!

Berwyn: one...
























Gwydion: what in the world are you doing....

Enfys: I told you mummy was being weird and locked herself and big sister up in this room for a very long time... they forgot about me...

Glyn: thanks, little sis...
























Gale: ... Gwydion!?

Glyn: hey mum, we're back early!

Aneira: now, deal with this, auntie Gale... *laughs*

Jimmy: woohooo that is what I call a perfectly timed entrance!
























Blodwen: daddy!! I'm so happy that you are back!!

Jimmy: I hope this guy will give them a lesson...

Blodwen: daddy, evil cousin Aneira had a plot to steal one of my guards! She was going to steal my property, can you believe that? But I discovered it and mummy is sending her and her friends to the dungeon! Are you proud of us?

Glyn: ... dad, I think that Blodwen has been spending too much time with mum.... we shouldn't leave them alone for this long...
























Gwydion: *sighs* honey, your guards are not your property and you know that...

Blodwen: but daaaad!

Trystan: Glyn!! So nice to see you!! And you've grown up!!
























Glyn: I know, weird right? I'm still getting used to the mood swings and this new body, but I think my hair look cool right?

Trystan: haha sure! Welcome to teen age world, cousin!
























Glyn; ah, I have missed you guys!

Trystan: we have missed you too! James was very jealous that we were coming here without him and asked us to bring you back with us!

Glyn: haha, I wish!

Arwyn: Master Glyn is back... Berwyn, I think we might actually make it alive out of this!
























Berwyn: of course we will, why did you think I was so chilled?

Arwyn: wait, what? What do you know that I don't...

Berwyn: *laughs* well, let's say that they forgot to invite one family member to this so called trial... and I managed to send her a quick message on the way here... I didn't know if it would work but I was counting on it...

Arwyn: Enfys... but she's still a child...she just had her birthday a couple of days ago...

Berwyn: yes.. but luckily for us she takes after her father and brother and is obviously very clever to figure out the rest herself *smiles*
























Enfys: what a mess that you have created, sister...


Blodwen: shut up Enfys, you were a baby until like yesterday, you have no saying in political matters...

Enfys: *laughs* political matters? Seriously? You having a tantrum because you were going to lose 
one of your toys is a political matter now? 

Blodwen: I told you to shut up. Anyway I refuse listening to the arguments of an infant!
























Enfys: but let's speak of the fact that what you were going to lose is actually a living being that you were keeping as a slave... poor Arwyn and Berwyn, I always wondered how I could help them...

Blodwen: you don't understand sister, you're too young!
























Enfys: no, you don't understand sister. I know you love mummy, and I love her too, but can you not see that what she's doing is not always right? Without dad she's lost, she needs him to keep the balance...

Blodwen: but she has me! I help her when dad is not here...

Enfys: you are like her, it doesn't help... sorry...

Blodwen: you're just jealous because you were left out! I know it and I will not listen to you any further!
























Gwydion: Gale...

Gale: Gwydion! You're back early... 

Gwydion: luckily, I would say... so... will you tell me what's going on? Blodwen was rambling about some plot... and dungeons... what have you done this time?
























Gale: I did nothing! She came here uninvited, thinking that she can just take whatever she likes, as if she owns the place, can you believe it?

Gwydion: *sighs* I guess you mean whoever...

Gale: regardless, she can't do that, and I had to punish her! Or are you okay with my brother's offspring just walking in here and taking everything they like? He walked away from the kingdom, he chose to live in the mortal world, he has no power here anymore!
























Gwydion: oh Gale, I can't believe you're still using this excuse... after all this time!

Gale: but it was not fair... it's not fair!!

Gwydion: I tell you what's not fair: treating people like toys is not fair. Purposefully ruin someone's life out of spite is not fair. Not letting two people that love each other be together just because you have the power to do so, is not fair! Don't you remember us, Gale?

Gale: I do... and I'm sorry that I have to separate them but... Blodwen said... I need to make the point that--

Gwydion: no, Gale, you don't need to make any points here. Just let them go... it's time that our daughter learns a lesson, she's really spoilt, have you not noticed?
























Gale: yes but... she's the princess, she should have anything she wants! Otherwise what's the point?

Gwydion: ..... I think I've been away for too long... I'm sorry, Gale...
























Aneira: it's so nice to see you Glyn! 

Glyn: likewise.. and I apologise for my mother's behaviour... and my sister's behaviour...
























Aneira: there's nothing you should apologise about Glyn... but you had a great timing! Right Trys?

Trystan: yeah, that was not going the way I hoped... and I didn't fancy visiting your dungeons...
























Glyn: don't worry, dad and I would have never let that happen...

Aneira: I kind of counted on that... and my dad would be furious if he knew this!

Trystan: he's still going to be furious when he finds out about this trip anyway....

Aneira: relax brother, he won't find out unless you tell him...

Glyn: well, he will kind of figure it out when you show up with these two elves with you....
























Aneira: Glyn... do you mean....

Arwyn: Master Glyn.... 

Glyn: yes guys, that's exactly what I mean....
























Aneira: oh my goodness! Thank you Glyn!!

Arwyn: Berwyn.... I think we're free.... 

Berwyn: I've heard....
























Arwyn: Master Glyn... words can't express how grateful we are...

Glyn: you don't have to say anything Arwyn, that's what you do among friends...

Aneira: but your mother...

Glyn: let me deal with her...
























Arwyn: Berwyn! We're free, we're free!! And Master Glyn said we're his friends! Can you believe it?

Berwyn: of course I can... although I might need some time to believe that we are free... what will we do now?

Arwyn: well, we'll go back with Aneira, right? And I know exactly what I'm going to do! I thought you knew it's what you wished for too?
























Berwyn: ....

Aneira: Arwyn, we made it!! We made it!!!

Arwyn: I know my love... I still can't believe it, but from now on I won't leave you anymore...
























Glyn: ah, the joy of helping these two be together almost bring tears to my eyes... I hope I will also be as lucky one day!
























Glyn: which takes me to the next part of the plan.... mother, I have something to tell you.

Gale: Glyn, what have you done, why are those two being happy over there?

Gwydion: I think you should listen to what our son has to say, Gale...
























Glyn: ok listen up. What you did today, and in the past weeks is very bad mother. Very very bad. Arwyn and Berwyn are my dear friends and Aneira is my dear cousin. You have no right to keep them apart, so I have set my guards and friends free, mother.
























Gale: what did you say? Gwydion, I think I heard it wrong... he can't possibly...

Gwydion: of course he can, they're his guards... and friends...
























Gale: are you crazy? You don't have the power to do this, only I can! And I don't wish to---

Glyn: yes, but see, here's the deal mother. There is something else that you wish and you've not been very successful in getting, is it?

Gale: what are you talking about?

Glyn: you wish for me to be the next king, but you can't force me to do it. And I didn't want to do it.

Gale: this is rubbish, you know you should accept your responsibilities and get on with it! And I won't---

Glyn: exactly, mother. I'm happy to accept my responsibilities and be the next king of the elves....

Gale: really! oh Glyn that's great, I'm glad you finally saw reason! I'm so proud of --

Glyn: ...if you let Arwyn and Berwyn go.

Gale: what!! You can't possibly---
























Glyn: I can and I will. Easy mother. You want me to be king, here's the deal. Take it or leave it. But I'm sure me being king is worth more than my sister's little whines... 
























Glyn: wait... why is it so dark all of a sudden?

Blodwen: oh my goodness what's happening! The light is gone!!!

Enfys: she's scared of the dark...
























Jimmy: chill kid, it's probably the heavy snowfall causing an electricity fail or something...

Blodwen: but... we have candles!

Enfys: that's actually true....

Blodwen: something is afoot... something evil...I can sense it! We have to run!

Jimmy: jeez you're so dramatic, it must have just been the wind blowing off the candles...

Blodwen: inside?!

Enfys: you've got a point there...

Aneira: Arwyn... what is this... it's suddenly so cold...

Arwyn: I don't know An... but don't worry, now that we're together nothing scares me anymore...
























Glyn: mother, is this one of your tricks?

Gale: of course not! Gwydion...

Gwydion: I don't know what this is... but it's getting colder... something is not right...it's almost like ---
























Blodwen: *screams* I told you! Something bad is coming!! We must run!!! Aaaaah!!

Jimmy: ouch! That was my foot, watch where you're going kid!

Blodwen: if you hadn't noticed it's pitch black here, so obviously I can't watch where I'm going, can I...

Enfys: don't move sister, if you're right and something evil is here, you don't want to run right into them....

??: mwahahahahaha *evil laugh*

Gwydion: who is this and what do you want?!

??: *evil laugh* you are doomed, elves...

Blodwen: I told you! I told you something evil was coming! Why does nobody ever listens to me!!

Jimmy: maybe because you're a crazy kid 99% of the time? But this time you might have been right... stay close to me kids, nothing will hurt you...

??: *evil laugh* don't worry, I have no intention to hurt you.... on one condition .....

Gale: Whoever you are, you can't blackmail us, we won't let you!

??: you have no choice....
























Enfys: *screams* aaaaaaaah!

Glyn: Enfys!! You son of a *** leave my sister alone!

??: who?

Enfys: sorry... I'm okay... something grabbed my arm but... it's just Blodwen... she's scared... she's been crying...

Blodwen: shut up you traitor!

Gwydion: enough. Stop scaring my family and leave at once, whoever you are!

??: as I said, I have no intention to hurt you... but I will plunge your kingdom into darkness forever....

Gwydion: into darkness forever....this sounds vaguely familiar.... holy plumbob.... I know who you are! I have heard of you... but I thought they had managed to trap you... how have you escaped? Nevermind... the most important thing is what do you have against us? We are a peaceful kind and don't get involved with matters of magic...

??: that is not totally correct... the peaceful part. See, King of the elves, it seems that your Queen has not been that peaceful lately...she's actually been quite evil and therefore has attracted my attention...

Gwydion: Gale??

Gale: I have no idea what he's talking about!

??: oh I think you do... I know for a fact that you have not been nice to two people that love each other very much... you've actively worked to keep them apart... and this is not .... cool, Queen of the elves, not cool. 

Arwyn: wait... An, is this about us?

Aneira: oh my goodness... Arwyn... 

??: ... so, if you elves want to see light again, you will have to let Arwen and Anneera go....

?? n.2: *whispers* Arwyn and Aneira!

??: yes that's who I meant. Arwyn and Aneira. Let them go now, or I will take the light out of this realm forever *mwahahahahahha*

Aneira: oh my goodness... I know what's going on....

Arwyn: you do?

Aneira: yes... I think this is---

Glyn: but this has already been sorted! I freed them two minutes ago...

??: oh.... really? Ah.... well... uhm... then what are we doing here?

?? n.2: *whispers* sorry, I didn't know!

Blodwen: oh my goodness there is more than one!! We're going to die!

Aneira: oh dear... excuse me, are you A--
























Susan: time to cut this crap!
























Susan: let the light return!
























Susan: .... Octavia?!?!

Octavia: mum?!?!?! 
























Octavia: mum, what are you doing here!

Susan: what are YOU doing here... and with... with.... oh my goodness, how has he managed to get free! Octavia, come to me, quickly, I've got this... 

Octavia: what are you talking about?

Susan: whatever he might have told you, it's a lie... do you know who that is?

Octavia: of course I know, he's my boyfriend!

Susan: he's.... WHAT?!
























Gale: and who are these people now? Gwydion do something! They threatened us, they must be thrown in the dungeons!

Gwydion: well... I think there's another family drama unfolding... but your friend Susie seems to be handling it...

Gale: Susie... what is she even doing here?
























Gwydion: I don't know but it looks like we're not the focus of attention anymore. 

Gale: but that guy... who is that guy anyway?

Gwydion: oh, just the most dangerous dark wizard alive. 

Gale: what?! We need to do something Gwydion! How can you let him stand in our castle?

Gwydion: well, I think he's got enough to deal with right now *laughs*  Look, all is well: the crisis has been averted, the light has returned, we have sorted our family drama and now it's our turn to sit back and watch the rest unfold! Do you have any popcorns?

Gale: do I have what?

Gwydion: This day is getting better and better *laughs*
























Aneira: Octavia... of course it was Octavia!

Berwyn: your crazy witch cousin? And who's the guy?

Aneira: her boyfriend Ash... he's the darkest wizard ever existed and she was keeping him a secret...

Berwyn: and for a good reason... wow she knows how to pick them!

Ash: er... sorry everybody, there was a little misunderstanding here. But good to hear that the people we came to save have already been saved! No harm done and we can leave in peace...
























Susan: what were you thinking!!! And how long has this been going on, huh?

Octavia: that's none of your business! Ash and I are in love...

Susan: in love? He's dangerous Octavia! He plunged a whole town into eternal darkness!

Octavia: So what? And how does that compare to sending him into exile and trapping him? So not cool... poor Ash, if I hadn't helped him break the spell....
























Susan: break the--- holy plumbob, Octavia! Are you telling me that you are the one that helped him? Oh my goodness... please don't tell me that..... that.... Octavia, when did you help him break the spell? Was it on Snowflake eve? There have been wizards investigating this universal shift and they've been saying that only an extremely powerful burst of energy, something that we've never witnessed before, could have sent us in this parallel dimension... Please Octavia, tell me it wasn't---
























Octavia: but of course it was us, mother! Obviously, the shift to a parallel dimension was not planned and was an unfortunate side-effect but... see, we're all still here and nothing really changed!
























Susan: nothing changed... nothing changed? Are you crazy? Look around, look at us, look at you! Everything changed... everything! You changed our world... to help him?! You are crazier than I ever thought!

Octavia: but I love him, mum!
























Susan: stop saying that! For what you know, he must have brainwashed you into believing this so he could get you to help him!

Octavia: it's not true, we love each other!

Ash: I think it's time I take over, love...
























Susan: and you, stay away from my daughter!
























Ash: with all due respect, Mrs Love, what your lovely daughter is saying is true. We do love each other, and finding a way to help me get free came after.

Susan: after what, exactly?

Octavia: mum, we've been together for ages, you just didn't know about it...
























Susan: what!? This can't be... So this is where you were sneaking out to! I knew there was something big you were plotting, I knew it! But then again, you are always plotting something... but I can't believe you never thought of telling me... your mother....

Octavia: well, exactly because of the way you are reacting right now maybe?
























Susan: you are coming home with me right now! And you're grounded for the foreseeable future!

Octavia: I'm not coming home, mum.

Susan: but of course you are. And wait till I tell your father...
























Octavia: and he will be happy for me because I found love! 

Susan: it's not that easy kid, he's evil

Octavia: oh yeah? What about you then? You are an evil witch too and dad still chose you... 
























Susan: it's different... he is... you just can't be with him... anybody but him, Octavia...

Octavia: why are you so cruel mother! We want to be together...

Susan: you're just a child...

Ash: she is definitely not, she's the most powerful witch I've ever met, and the most beautiful one. I am in love with your daughter, Mrs Love, and nothing will keep us apart, not even your threats. 
























Susan: I will not tolerate this happening under my roof! Octavia, this is enough. This ends now, let's go home.
























Octavia: I already told you, I'm not coming home mum... 

Susan: nonsense, you've got school to finish and--

Ash: she's not coming home because I have asked her to move in with me. But you are welcome to visit us Mrs Love! 

Susan: what... but... you're crazy, you can't go live with him Octavia! You still have school and--
























Octavia: I'm dropping out of school. I don't care. I just want to be with Ash. And if you can't have both of us, you won't have either of us.

Ash: there is no need to drop out of school love, you can finish studying if you want. Or not, as you prefer.

Susan: you can't do this... she's my child!

Ash: she's old enough to make her own decisions, Mrs Love.  And I've lived long enough to know that once I found true love I should not let it go...

Susan: ... very well then. I see my trip up to here was completely useless. I hope you're happy, Octavia. I'll go tell Leo that we're leaving.

Octavia: and what does uncle Leo have to do with all this?

Susan: Oh, I bumped into Alice and she was furious as she had just found out about Aneira's little plan... I just knew that if I follwed them I would somehow find you too...
























Leo: hello, Aneira...

Aneira: dad.... what..... what are you doing here... how....

Arwyn: king Leo....
























Leo: hello Arwyn, good to see you again! And glad to hear that your little plan worked, Aneira...

Aneira: well, kind of... if it hadn't been for Glyn... 

Leo: your mum and I were so worried! We knew something was not right... you should have told us!

Aneira: I couldn't... I'm sorry dad, I couldn't tell you...

Leo: you know you can tell me anything, An!

Aneira: not this... you hadn't done anything, you had let your sister take Arwyn away... I didn't want you to do the same now...

Leo: I'm sorry Annie, it was more complicated than it seems... I thought to give a little time to Gale to settle and then talk to her again... but I see now how important he is to you...  
























Alice: Annie! Thank goodness you are okay...

Aneira: mum! You're here too!

Alice: of course I am darling, I was worried sick!
























Aneira: mum I'm so sorry, but I couldn't tell you...

Alice: of course you could, and I wish that you had Annie... you never lied to us before...

Leo: Arwyn, you really care for my daughter, don't you?

Arwyn: I do sir... very very much... 

Leo: good. You have my blessing. 

Arwyn: thank you, king Leo...

Leo: But now, I need to go sort something out...
























Aneira: I'm sorry mum... 

Berwyn: but it was for a good cause, right brother?

Arwyn: the best one...

Trystan: mum!!
























Alice: Trys! My brave boy, I can't believe you went on this little adventure with your sister!

Trystan: I'm sorry mum... but I couldn't let her go alone...

Alice: I know... I know... I'm just happy I found you healthy and happy!
























Leo: Susie, I see you found Octavia...

Susan: I have... but she's not exactly the daughter I thought I would find... I don't recognize my daughter anymore...
























Ash: indeed, she's the most wonderful woman and witch and I'm so honoured to have her by my side!

Octavia: oh Ash... you make me blush!

Susan: well, we'll see about that...

Leo: bit of advice from personal experience, old friend: don't try to keep two people who love each other apart... it will just backfire... just be happy for her!

Susan: I don't know that I can... this is too much Leo...
























Glyn: uncle Leo! So great to see you!!

Leo: and you! You've grown up so much Glyn!

Glyn: yes, everybody is saying that... and you know what? I have decided I will accept my role as future king of the elves. One day, I want to be just like my dad, and like you uncle Leo!
























Leo: that's great to hear Glyn, I'm very proud of you!

Arwyn: he did it for us... I can't believe he did it for us! I hope it's what he wants too...

Berwyn: but of course it is. He was born for this! He's going to be a wonderful king, Ar... we should be very proud!
























James: Glyn! 

Glyn: James! And Eric! You're here too! So nice to see you!!

Eric: holy plumbob....
























James: you've grown up...

Glyn: indeed I have...
























James: but that's ok, it's almost our birthday too!
























James: it's so nice to see you Glyn! Eric and I have missed you so much!

Eric: indeed... and when we grow up too we can have fun together again as before! Isn't it wonderful?
























Gale: Leo! I didn't expect to see you here...

Gwydion: I told you this day is keeping on giving! We should really get popcorns, dear...
























Leo: Gale, Gwydion... I hear there was a bit of commotion before but everything got sorted?

Gale: it was all a misunderstanding really...

Gwydion: really....
























Leo: good. Because I wouldn't want to find out that you threatened my daughter... or her boyfriend... understood?
























Gale: but of course not! Haha we love dear Annie and we love to see her happy with Arwyn!

Gwydion: ....didn't we have one of those old popcorn machines stored somewhere?

Blodwen: hello uncle Leo, have you come to take evil cousin Aneira away? She tried to steal my guard you know. That's not cool. If it were for me, I would have sent her straight to the dungeon!

Leo: .....
























Gale: haha my daughter, she likes to joke a lot...

Blodwen: what? Mother...

Gwydion: Blodwen, we have already talked about this. 
























Blodwen: but daaad! It's not fair!! He is my guard and therefore my property! 

Leo: but of course he is not.... he's a person, with feelings, and feelings for my daughter specifically, he's nobody's property!

Blodwen: of course he is! He's just a guard, that's what guards are. Just somebody else's property, here to serve and obey our will. They'e not like us.

Leo: what! Holy plumbob, guys, I think you need to talk to your daughter here...

Gwydion: he is right, Gale, we should have told her long ago...

Gale: absolutely not, that's our business, she doesn't need to know...
























Alice: although I'm happy to have found you both, you know you two are grounded for the rest of your life, right?

Trystan: but mum, that's not fair!

Aneira: and I already told you, we would have told you but couldn't, as you would have told dad, and we couldn't risk dad saying no! I needed to see that Arwyn was okay mum, specially after what happened on Snowflake night...
























Aneira: how did you find us anyway... did James rat us out? I knew we shouldn't have told him! He's just a kid... but I thought he would keep our secret...

Alice: and he did indeed, but now I'll have to talk to him too... I didn't know he knew? It would have made things so much easier if we had known! *sighs* I've got three lying kids out of five... who would have thought...
























Aneira: but wait, if it wasn't James... how did you find us?

Alice: your school called and asked how the food poisoning was going.... they were worried for us, as so many of he Love teens seemed to be sick...

Aneira: ah...  damn school....

Aneira: so we took a trip to the campsite....
























Elena: surprise!!

Aneira: Elena! You're here too!!

Elena: yeah... well... once we got caught I thought it better to come along than to face mum and dad....
























Tyler: same... I knew it wouldn't work, there were too many people involved, it was doomed from the beginning!

Aneira: wow, always so positive Tyler... but indeed it did work, actually...
























Trystan: just not as smoothly as we had planned... and with way more people involved than expected...
























Elena: ah yeah, what is Octavia doing here by the way? No, wait, I don't think I want to know....
























Elena: Anyway, it's the results that count guys, and we've been successful! We should celebrate! 

Aneira: yes, and we should really do... it's New Year's Eve guys, we were supposed to grow up today...

Tyler: indeed... instead we are stuck here... do you know when we're going to leave?

Elena: or, we could celebrate here?

Aneira: here? After everything that happened today? 

Elena: I only know the part from when we arrived, but yes, why not, we're all here anyway... well, most of us are... do you think we could have a last minute party?
























Gareth: mum, is it time to go yet? There are so many people here and only a few I know... 

Susan: oh honey, sorry I was so busy having a fight with your sister that I lost track of time... I'll go tell Leo that we're going to be on our way, okay? Then we'll text dad and Amelia that we'll be home soon.

Gareth: are Octavia and her friend coming with us?

Susan: no darling, they are not...
























Gareth: I'm sorry mum... I love you...

Susan: thank you sweetie, I love you too....

Gareth: wait...
























Gareth: who is that?

James: who, Eric? Are you kidding me?

Gareth: not Eric, the girl behind him... I don't think I've seen her before...
























James: ah, that must be cousin Enfys.. I only saw her once before and she was a toddler, maybe she grew up...

Gareth: she seems nice! I think I'll go talk to her... can you introduce me maybe?

James: well, I don't really know her but sure, why not...

Gareth: then maybe we can stay a little longer...
























Ash: thank you for agreeing to move in with me, my love... I'm the happiest man on earth right now....

Octavia: oh Ash, I'm happy too, but the fight with my mum was so bad... I knew it would be bad, but not like this... we said horrible things to each other....

Ash: give her time, it will pass... she'll get over it and she'll come and see us in our beautiful house. She can come any time you want, you know that...
























Octavia: oh Ash, I love you so much... and thank you for coming here with me and trying to help my cousin... too bad we were too late and could only have a little fun...

Ash: any time my love, any time...
























Lowri: so, I hear congratulations are in order, sister!

Aneira: Lowri! That's another surprise! How many people did mum and dad bring with them?

Elena: quite a few in fact, but I think she's the last one...
























Lowri: I told you it was a good idea to come here An! I knew it would work! I just wish you had told me, I would have come with you and helped...

Aneira: I know, I'm so sorry little sis... but so many people were in on this already... and I couldn't take you with me... I'm sorry...
























Lowri: it's ok... well, it really isn't, but what can I do... but as I was the one who put the winning idea in your head, I deserve a prize!

Aneira: shoot, you name it and you can have it!
























Lowri: I want proof that you guys are really together and happily so. I dare you to kiss Arwyn right here right now *laughs*

Aneira: what! Why?

Lowri: just a little punishment for not taking me with you, sister *grins*
























Aneira: but there are... people! Come on you can't ask me that? 

Lowri: you said I could get anything... I want this *grins*

Berwyn: *laughs*
























Aneira: fine, I'll do it! Arwyn, come here please?

Arwyn: what is it, what are you doing?

Lowri: is she really doing it? My shy sister and your shy brother?

Berwyn: it appears so *laughs*
























Aneira: I love you Arwyn...

Arwyn: well, that was a very nice dare, remind me to thank your sister later...

Trystan: jeez guys, get a room! And with the parents around... embarrassing...
























Aneira: happy?

Lowri: you blushed big time sister! *laughs* but yes, you win! It's good to see you happy, big sis...

Leo: ....
























Leo: so, I've had an idea.

Gale: which is?

Leo: it's New Year's Eve!

Gale: ah yes, but we don't really celebrate it...

Leo: exactly, why don't we do a bit NY party? And while we are at it, we could also celebrate Annie's birthay... I overheard her talking to Elena and Tyler. The three of them were planning to organise a birthday party today, but now that we're here...

Gale: no way, I might have been forced to give in with Arwyn, but she will not also get a birthday party under my roof! After all she's done...
























Gwydion: I actually think it's a great idea!

Gale: what? Gwydion! Back me up here please?

Gwydion: Gale, we've all had a long and stressful day, for different reasons. It's New Year's eve - which I had forgotten about by the way. Why not have some fun and celebrate and have some quality family time all together! 

Gale: but... but....
























Leo: awesome, I'm going to make the announcement then! Listen up everybody, I have a big announcement to make! Tonight, to celebrate New Year's eve as well as my daughter, my niece and her boyfriend's birthdays, we're going to throw a long awaited crazy Love party! 

*crowd cheering*
























Gale: you are crazy Gwydion! These guys are never gonna leave us in peace...

Gwydion: no, it's fun... I told you this day is the day that keeps on giving! Who would have thought this morning when I woke up in the Fairy realm that I would get a distressed message from my youngest daugther that required my presence at home... and that the trip back home would take us here, to our Great Hall packed with your relatives and their friends, and that although we (or you) started as enemy, we would end the day with a party as friends? I'm still waiting for my popcorns by the way...
























Octavia: oh, that's true, it's your birthday... I'm glad you get to celebrate... even if we were too late, I'm sorry...

Aneira: Octavia! Finally I get to talk to you... this is a surprise, I didn't expect to see you here!
























Octavia: well, after I found Ash I asked him for a favour... I had a feeling your evil aunt might create problems, so we came here...

Aneira: this is so kind of you, thank you!

Octavia: well, you helped me with Ash so I wanted to return the favour... but turns out it was all for nothing, you guys had already sorted yourself out and now my mum knows about Ash and about our secret... oh Annie we had a terrible fight...
























Aneira: don't worry, she'll come around... it must have been a shock for you both...

Octavia: you think so? 
























Aneira: I know so... she might be an evil witch but she won't stand on the way of love... she'll figure it out, just give her time...

Octavia: thank you Annie, you're a real friend... now I guess you should go get ready, you're about to leave your teenage years behind! And join your man in young adulthood... he looks nice by the way, you're a beautiful couple...
























Aneira: thank you... I think we are too *smiles*

Leo: oh I forgot: the party will be elven themed, courtesy of my dear sister Gale! Go get find yourselves a dress people,  and see you back here at 9pm!

Gale: hey, who ever said anything about dresses!
























Elena: so here we are...

Aneira: here we are indeed! Can you believe that this is our birthday party?

Elena: never in a million year I would have thought that we we would have it in a castle! This plan exceeded expectations, Aneira!

Aneira: *laughs*

Tyler: I feel a bit nervous though... so many people... but this outfit is quite cool I have to say! Are you ready girls?

























Crowd: happy birthday!!! *cheering*

























Elena: finally! Welcome young aulthood... I had been waiting for this!

























Enfys: woohooo! I love birthdays!!

























Tyler: make a wish Tyler...

Crowd: woohoooooo happy birthday!!!

























Aneira: this is so exciting... and totally unexpected! But so beautiful anyway... I just wish the rest of the family was here too...

























Aneira: ok, I'm next... make a wish....

Crowd: woohoooo go Annie!!!

























Aneira: *blows candles*

Berwyn: brother, your girlfriend is growing up! We should celebrate!

Arwyn: ah yes, that's true! I was too busy staring at her... she looks even more beautiful tonight...

























Arwyn: I will let the world know that it's her birthday! Happy birthday my darling Annie!

Gale: woohooo happy birthday niece!

Gwydion: ... and now you're celebrating her? I mean, that's good, but you do change your mind quite fast my darling...

























Crowd: wooohooooo! Happy birthday Annie!!!

Lowri: you're beautiful sister but... you look exactly like before! Spooky...


Aneira got romantic as her new trait together with horse and outdoor lover. Apparently she also has quick learner and alluring comes from the life aspiration of finding her soulmate.
























Everybody: woohoooo it's New Year's Eve!! 

























Aneira: Come on everybody, enjoy the cakes!

























Elena: Jimmy, what are you waiting for, ok that there are three cakes this time, but they won't last for long!

Jimmy: I can't believe you guys are already young adults... Now it won't be too long for Trystan and me... I'm not ready to grow up yet!

























Jimmy: but this matcha cake is really good... I think I'm going to have one of these when my turn comes...

























Leo: aaah, my baby girl is a woman now... I'm so proud... and so glad that this crazy day could end on such a happy note!

























Blodwen: this cake is so good mummy! By the way, what was it that you and dad wanted to tell me earlier?

Gale: ... mm this cake is so good!

























Gwydion: Gale, we decided...

Gale: just not today okay? Let's just enjoy the party for tonight... please...

Blodwen: are you planning a surprise for me? So cool! When can I get it?

Gale: ....

























Gwydion: it will be difficult but I hope it's going to be a new start for all of us...

























Trystan: Glyn, what are your parents talking about?

Glyn: I think they're going to tell Blodwen the truth...

Trystan: the truth about what?

Glyn: about my dad...you know, him not being originally part of a royal family and so on... Blodwen thinks she can do and have anything because of her royal blood, and treats other people as if they are beneath her... it's time for her to learn...

Trystan: do you mean that she doesn't know her parents' story? And how come you do?

Glyn: they never told any of us. But I figured it out... overheard some stuff... and I had some memories from when I was young... then did a bit of research... and then one day I talked to my dad. I think it's the coolest thing ever, and the one thing that makes me still have faith in my mother... she does have a good side, it's just that she keeps it hidden very well...

Trystan: I can imagine it will be a major shock for Blodwen... it will change how she sees the world...

Glyn: and so it should... honestly, I don't know how mum and dad have not done anything about her behaviour. Of course it doesn't help that my dad is away most of the time... and my mum spoils her of course. Anyway I hope this is all going to change, starting tomorrow....

Trystan: and Enfys? She seems quite smart...

Glyn: oh, she is indeed! She takes after me, obviously *grins* and she loves fairytales with a happy ending, she'll love the story and will be proud to be part of one!

























Arwyn: my darling, I would like to propose a toast...

























Arwyn: to my wonderful girlfriend, the most beautiful and bravest woman I know. We would not be here were it not for you coming to look for me. I love you my darling, always and forever!

Aneira: oh Arwyn...

Enfys: awwww you guys are so sweet!! I want to be like you when I grow up, cousin Aneira!

























Aneira: and I toast to you, my amazing boyfriend! I love you Arwyn, may nothing keep us apart any longer.

























Arwyn: ... now I'm going to do something that I hope will make your sister proud...

Aneira: what...

























Berwyn: woah, you rule, brother!

Lowri: ewww get a room sister! I was joking before... we don't need to see this!

























Enfys: oooh this is so romantic....

Eric: indeed it is!

James: what are you two talking about, this is disgusting!! 

























James: why do people keep kissing each other in public, jeez have some decency people! Disgusting...

























Aneira: have you heard anything?

Arwyn: mmmh no?

Aneira: nevermind, let's resume where we left off...

























James: umph this is so annoying... they're ruining the vibes of a great party! I'll have to have a word with my sister...

Enfys: actually it's her birthday party, and she just got back together with the love of her life after fighting my evil mother... such a beautiful story, so romantic! I would love to have the same when I grow up... 

Eric: haha and I'm sure there is a knight in shiny armour around here who would be happy to join you in your story...

























Gareth: hey, I don't have an armour but I can volunteer if you want! And my mum is evil too, we can fight her if you want...

Enfys: haha thank you Gareth, I'll keep that in mind *smiles*

James: what is wrong with you guys!!

























Alice: oh Leo, our daughter is so happy! I've never seen her like this... happy, confident, beautiful as always... I'm so proud...

Leo: indeed... do you think we should expect grandchildren soon?

























Alice: woah wait a minute, I'm not old enough to be a grandmother!

Leo: you will always be beautiful, grandmother or not, you know that...

























Alice: speaking of which! Let me check in with my mother to see if all is ok... but I bet she and dad are just enjoying the time alone!

Leo: did you hear what I said?

Alice: what?

Leo: nevermind, come here my love...

























Lowri: oh my goodness not you too! What have I started with that dare? I really don't want to see this!

























Elena: oh Tyler, did you really mean it? 

Tyler: of course I did... I love you Elena and I want to spend my life with you... and I will propose properly to you one day soon, but this place is too crowded and is making me nervous...

Elena: *smiles*

Tyler: but in the meantime, let's move in together...

Elena: I can't wait...

























Jimmy: so, I hear that we have to thank you for the perfectly timed arrival of king Gwydion and Glyn...

Berwyn: I didn't know if it would work... but Enfys is a smart girl, she saved us all!

Jimmy: indeed she has... but you have to! Anything I can do to repay the favour? Now that you are free you can come and stay with us for a bit and I can show you the real cool places and clubs where I usually hang out!

Berwyn: haha no worries, but thank you! I still haven't decided what I'm going to do, it's like moving from a very certain and very boring life to a world full of possibilities... it's a bit overhelming actually...

























Jimmy: I can imagine... but hey, if there's anything I can help you with just shout!

Berwyn: actually... I've been meaning to ask Aneira, or Elena but...

Jimmy: yes?

Berwyn: do you have any news of Ella? Is she alright?

Jimmy: *smiles* I was waiting for that! I've heard that you were.... er... close to my cousin *winks*

Berwyn: er... I just didn't get to say goodbye when we came back here so...

























Jimmy: she's fine, she had a major birthday party, we ended up in a vampire bar dancing till late night, can you believe it? I think she was a bit drunk at the end... and Trystan and I left early, I heard someone had to carry her home... she's quite the party girl, my cousin!

Berwyn: wow... what did I miss... you said someone had to take her home... anybody I know?

Jimmy: who? Ah no just some guy from the bar I think, 

Berwyn; ah...

Jimmy: listen, I don't know much. If you need info like if she's seeing someone you need to ask the girls, I have no idea..

Berwyn: sure... sorry... 

Jimmy: look, if you want my opinion, and I usually know what I'm doing when it comes to girls... just go see her, take her out somewhere cool, have a major make out session like there's no tomorrow and she'll be yours again! Easy!

Berwyn: er... okay... thanks... I'll... think about it....

























Trystan: hey sis... you look happy...

Aneira: I'm over the moon Trys! I couldn't imagine a happier ending to our little trip... thank you so much for coming with me...

Trystan: any time... I'm happy to see you happy Annie, I couldn't bear to see you so sad in the past weeks...

























Aneira: thank you Trys... it made all the difference you know! Coming here... although it looked bad at the beginning... in the end, it went the way it was supposed to...

Trystan: and what are you going to do now? Now that you don't have school anymore you can do anything you want... go to university, find a job, move in with Arwyn....

Aneira: actually, I don't know yet. But I have asked Arwyn to move in with us, I hope that's ok. And I guess Berwyn will do so too... we haven't really discussed the logistics... but then maybe at some point Arwyn and I can come back here, I would like to experience what it's like to live here... and poor Arwyn hasn't had a normal life here since before he came to the castle so... but who knows, it's just ideas for now...

Trystan: sounds good sister, I'm happy for you!

























Aneira: and you? What are you going to do?

Trystan: just back to the usual life I guess...

Aneira: no, I mean, about Matilda... you said Clara asked you to go see her... will you? 

Trystan: I don't know...  I decided to focus on our trip and to push the decision to when we're back...

Aneira: well, if you need backup, you know I can come with you. I can take Arwyn too, and show him what the big city looks like! And it's a good excuse to go see auntie Amy anyway.

Trystan: thank you, Annie, really...

























Ash: it's almost midnight darling, let's go watch the countdown!

James: so long as nobody kisses at midnight... ewww...

























Eric: cool, I didn't know elves had TVs!

Enfys: of course we have TV, where do you think we're living, the middle ages?

























Elena: it's almost time!

























Aneira: it's so nice to celebrate all here together! What are the chances... this is going to be a lucky year for all of us! We should all make a wish at midnight...

























Elena: here we go!

Everybody: shu shu beeeee! Shu shu beeee! Shu shu beeeee!

























Everybody: wooohoooooo! Happy new year!!!!! *cheering*

Ash: happy new year my darling...

























James: I knew it! I KNEW it!!! Ewwww... let's look at the screen and pretend all is normal around me....

























Lowri: brother, happy new year!

James: oh, thanks Lo! Happy new year to you too!

























Blodwen: well, I guess since it's new year we can have a truce and it's ok to hug... happy new year sister!

Aneira: hey you... happy new year...

Arwyn: happy new year to you too....

























Octavia: mum...

Susan: Octavia...

























Susan: look, I'm sorry I got angry earlier, but you have to understand that this was a big shock... he is...

Octavia: I know who he is mum, and I'm okay with it. We really love each other, and that's what matters. I know you may not like him, but I hope with time you will come to accept him..

Susan: I am not sure but I will try... happy? I don't want to start the new year with a grudge with my daughter. I know we don't always get along but I love you, you know that...

























Octavia: thank you mum.... I love you too... happy new year...

Susan: happy new year to you too darling...

























Octavia: now, let's go eat, I'm starving! 

Susan: but we just had cake!

Octavia: that feels like ages ago, I'm ravenous!

Susan: ......

























Leo: okay people, eat up quickly because we are going to move on the next part of the evening... we want to close this eventful day with a Love tradition... a crazy group dance!

Elena: so cool!!

Trystan: you're joking right?

Leo: of course not, eat up, son!

























Alice: come on everybody, let's do the cowpoke dance!! All together woooohooooo!!

























Gale: brother, against all of my expectations I have to say that this dancing tradition of yours is quite fun... 

Leo: I told you, it's the best way to end such a beautiful family evening!

























Trystan: Annie look, I'm flying!

























Aneira: very cool, brother! You have to teach me how to do that!

























Alice: wooohoooo we're on fire people!

Jimmy: but I think we should all start at the same time, right? We are not at all coordinated...oh nevermind, it's still cool! We should do this more often!!!
