Our story, takes place after the events of The Black Caluldron. Taran, and Eilonwy, now visit each other often. Dallben really likes Eilonwy as she is nice to Taran and a good help around the farm. One day, Taran and Eilonwy were outside the farm giving Taran's pig, Hen wen a bath, and they talk about their lives, and how happy they were to have met each other.

"It is very nice to have you around Eilonwy. I was actually quit lonely before I met you." Taran said with a smile. As there was something about Eilonwy, that made him feel happy inside.

Eilonwy was very flattered as she felt the same way about him. Eilonwy never explained her life as a princess. Or if she really was one it remained unknown. She walked closer to Taran, held his hand, and said to him with a smile.

"Taran, you don't ever have to be lonely. I'm always here for you, and I'm more then glad I'm able to cheer you up. I don't know what I would have done if you took your own life to stop the cauldron. I think that was the bravest thing I ever see. in my life."

Taran blushed from her words of true kindness. Taran may have been a pig boy. But Eilonwy, saw him as much more. To her he was a true hero. He then asked her. "Oh you really think so? That really means allot."

"Oh yes. Not to mention you faced the horned king and defeated him. That was so outstanding." Eilonwy said.

Taran then held her hands and looked her very deep in the eyes, and said. "Oh you're so kind. You are indeed a princess to me. Do you think we will stay friends forever?"

Eilonwy giggled blushed, and said. "Oh for sure. Maybe we could end up being more then friends, if you know what I mean."

Taran was amazed to here this. As he was to shy to say something like that to Eilonwy. He hoped they would know each other for a long time, and even face more big adventures together like the one they will never forget, finding the black cauldron.

Eilonwy later has to leave. And she puts her hand on Taran's shoulder, and says to him."bye Taran, I might not be able to come back for a few days. But remember, as long as we're friends I'm always with you."

They then hug, as Eilonwy leaves the gfarm. Taran smiled, Dallban walked by him and said with a small laugh. "You found a good girl my boy. A very good one." He then patted him on the back.

The End.

This was a one shot for The Black Cauldron! Hope you liked it.
