Prudence paced back and forth in her mother's office. Headmistress Wormwood stood at the window, noticing large amounts of noise and construction from the other side of the wide street. Prudence fiddled with her fingers "Maybe it was both of our faults. Of course she started it... but I certainly think I led her on mother…maybe it was."

Wormwood turned around quickly and faced her "Prudence! You will not speak of the subject again! You were tormented by that horrid little girl! This is not your fault... And I will not hear MAYBE utter from my daughter's lips… I did not raise an indecisive daughter." Heavy sounds made her cringe from the outside, she brought up her glasses "OH! That noise! How disruptive! And where is Louise! I need assistance with this matter." There was a knock at the door as Prudence answered. Wormwood turned around "Miss Wells! Where have you been?! I've had to get a substitute to fill in for you!"

She smiled "Well, I have some good news for you." She brought out a small paper "I quit."

"WHAT!"

"WHAT!"

Both prudence and Wormwood said. The headmistress began to grow worry lines on her head "Louise, you've worked for me for years! I cannot lose you! Why the change of mind!"

"It was actually the loss of a very special student." She said. "I've put in my two weeks and I've decided upon the loss that I am quitting." She brought out a paper "I've placed the proper paperwork. Thank you for your time Nerissa."

Nerissa sourly took the papers "You are leaving for that little brat?! That little devil who ruined my reputation? How dare you betray me!" she began to go hysterical "Please! Louise! You've been with me for years! You've brought up the test scores tenfold in the past year! If you stay, I'll give you a raise... and I'll let you have your own office!"

She turned to her "It was never about the money Nerissa."

Nerissa's lip twitched as she followed her out of the building. Miss Wells walked down the steps as Nerissa yelled, alerting the other students in their classes. They all peeked out the windows as Nerissa shouted. Even Nolan stopped working on the lawn to watch the two ladies. "You'll be nothing without this school! You'll be penniless! Where do you think you are going?!"

Louise turned around "I am building a new school."

Nerissa cackled "HA! How are you going to be funded! NO one will support you!" the hairs in hear neat bun began to fall out of place "Our school is the top in the city... no other school will reach success."

"I actually have some very willing benefactors who are eager to start with me." Right as she said the words, Ratigan walked across the corner. He was dressed in a button up white shirt and dark pants. On top of his head was a brown hard hat "Miss Wells, we have some decisions to make about the placement of the green house. I hope I am not interrupting." He turned to Nerissa "Hello Headmistress."

Miss Wells smiled "Not at all, I was just leaving." She turned to Nerissa "Mrs. Wormwood... May I introduce one of our benefactors?" Nerissa gasped "Mr. Ratigan! W-Why are… You are-"

"Miss Wells had approached me two nights ago along with my wife..." he waved across the street. Rosalie waved back and shouted "Hi honey!" She was working on building one of the walls with the rest of the boys, who were hammering and drilling holes in the wood. "She proposed that since my daughter was never welcomed and expelled from your institute, we should take initiative to build our own school, funded by our family and taught by some well-rounded teachers. This school will teach children…Not raise young robotic adults." He smiled "My Charlie will fit right in." he tipped his hard hat "Good day."

Wormwood had it. Her face turned red "No student will ever come to your school! What an atrocity! How dare you come in here and attempt to change my methods of teaching! You will have no success!"

Miss Wells took out her clipboard "I have already fourteen parents willing to transfer... and will transfer once the school is finished in the fall." She turned to Nolan "We are in need of another teacher... to teach robotics and creative outlets for science..." she laughed "We are working on the name of course, Nolan... if you would like a better job.. It is being offered. We couldn't think of a better teacher."

Nolan nearly fell over "ME? You want me?" he started to walk towards her as Nerissa shouted "One more step and you're FIRED!"

He sighed, holding the rake in his hand. He walked up the steps to the smile of Nerissa. Nolan placed the rake in her hands "No need to fire me... I quit. The hedges need trimming." He smiled and walked down the steps, stood next to Louise and kissed her. He let go "Sorry it took so long." She kissed him back and let go, the redness still appearing on her cheeks "What a day I'm having." She then started off, joined by Charlie on her hand "Good morning Miss Wormwood!"

Prudence walked down the steps as Nerissa stopped her "Prudence! Come here at once!"

"No mother!" she walked to Charlie and laid out her hand "I'm sorry."

"Me too." They hugged tightly as Prudence turned to her mother "Mother, it's time to change." She walked along with them as the other students walked out and joined them, pushing Nerissa out of the way. She pleaded "Stop! No! Your education! Years wasted! NO!" Charlie began to join her friends, until she heard a whisper in the air. She turned a corner in a small alleyway and noticed the small book from before. She opened the pages and saw a special note at the end, written in golden ink:

Queen Nerissa was defeated in a grand battle. The portal was permanently closed forever, never to open again. After the smoke had cleared and the castle was regained, the king had assumed the throne and placed Helena in charge as the new queen. Her first decree was to demolish the royal blood marriage rule... Her and Dimitrius the inventor were soon married and declared as king and queen of Bellemoor. They soon decided to start a family, and to a large ceremony they had a little girl in which they properly named Charlotte, after a dearly devoted friend.

Cornwall was forgiven, and was placed as the royal documenter and communications with every town in the kingdom. He was assigned as chief ambassador to the land of Idylia, in which he has restrained the rules and regulations of the town; including more activities for the children.

As for Charlie, she returned home and saved her family from certain doom. The power and bravery of her heart surpassed any of the strongest of people on the earth. She is a true friend, niece, and daughter. Her tale is far from over…

And they all lived happily ever after…

She turned the page, and noticed more ink being written.

Charlie, sadly your parents will never know what had happened, neither will your sister. The magic is very rare, and unfortunately the power will fade on you over time. You will not remember Bellmoor, me, Dimitirius. Or even Cornwall. The portal was closed forever... which means no one can get in... Or even get out… Your memory will be rewritten as only a dream. I am sorry to break the news so fast to you, it is a rule that still has no explanation.

I thank you for your kindness and your courage... You really are an amazing young lady. My father has told me that being courageous is risking everything you love, more than yourself. If what you have done for us and your parents isn't courage I don't know what is?

As your memory is taken away, be assured we are in great debt to you. We will never leave you, or stop caring about you... just like a guardian angel, we'll be watching you and protecting you. Your family is very lucky to have you, as you are lucky to have them.

Try not to wish on any more stars…

-H

P.S Told you I'd get you home.

The book slowly faded away in her hands as she wiped away a tear. She looked up at the sky "Thanks..."

Rosalie turned the corner "Charlie? You alright?"

Ratigan held many wood boards in his hands "You've been daydreaming a lot lately, is everything ok?" he stumbled with the boards in his hands "Do you need to go inside?"

"Come join us!" Rosalie said.

"Yeah!" she smiled "I'm fine!"

She ran off to her parents and held her mother's hand, walking off to Charlie's new future and even new friends.
