Yay, another chapter! Sorry for the late update. School started and I just have a lot to do. Sorry! I may have to change the update schedule due to intense classes. I'll put that on my profile and make sure to give you guys that info when I decide. I still love this and I'll continue to update, just not as regularly. I really have no free time, other than the weekends. So I promise that I will not put this on hiatus, not now, at least.

I want to thank everybody who has reviewed! We got 10 reviews! I know that that's a pretty small number, but I've never gotten to 10 reviews before. Thank you all who continue to read, even though I'm horrible at keeping up with update schedules! Love you all!

TheDoctorPieMaker: Aiglentine is pronounced Eg-Lan-Teen.

Galinda awoke the next day and sat up. She remembered the horrible events that had taken place last night. She wanted to get up and walk over to Beau and Leo's room, but she was afraid to. She was afraid that they wouldn't be there. She was worried that she would go down stairs and find her parents weeping, that they would have to tell her that her brothers had not survived the night.

"I hope you were right, Aiglentine. I hope that they were okay." Galinda whispered to herself as she climbed out of her bed. She stepped over to her window and gently pulled back the curtains and tied them in place. Looking out the window, she silently prayed that Beau and Leo would be alright. Then she looked down to the garden below her window, focusing on the rose bush where Aiglentine lived. "Please, Aiglentine. Please be right." She whispered before turning and slowly making her way to the door. She took a shaky breath and opened the door, listening closely for any signs of the health of her brothers.

She heard no noise from their room, that was not a good sign. She did not hear that man, probably the doctor' s, voice like she had last night. That could be good or bad. She heard no crying, no weeping. That was a good sign. So she decided that it was an equal chance of something good or bad happening and stepped out of the doorway and into the hall. Creeping down the hallway and towards the stairs, she continued to listen, trying to find any signs of the current situation. Finding nothing, she decided to simply venture down the stairs and find what awaited her.

When she finally came down the stairs and turned the corner, what she saw was nether good nor bad, she supposed. Her parents sat there, which she supposed was a good thing. After all, they weren't crying. But they also had no readable expression on their faces, meaning that anything could be going on in their heads.

"Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy." She finally said, stepping out from around the corner and entering the parlor. And then her face lit up, because sitting slightly to the right of her parents, were Beau and Leo.

"Good morning, sweetie." Her mother said tiredly. "You're up late."

"I woke up in the middle of the night." Galinda explained. At first, her mother only nodded. But then a realization dawned on her.

"Oh, sweetie. I'm sorry if you were scared." She said, opening her arms and allowing her daughter to snuggle into her embrace.

"I was, but Aiglentine told me that they would be okay." Galinda began. "And they are!" She pointed to where they sat, snuggled up in blankets, on the couch. The boys gave her weak smiles and tried to look brave.

"Yes, they are." Her father smiled. But what they didn't tell her was that they were actually not positive that the boys would live for much longer. They simply couldn't bear to tell her that.

"Yeah, we are." Leo said, a touch of sadness in his voice. He also knew that neither him nor his brother would make it much longer. But, like his father, he simply couldn't bear to tell Galinda that. It would hurt him too much to see the look of complete sorrow and horror on her small face if someone were to tell her.

"Yay!" Galinda exclaimed, running and jumping onto the couch, snuggling in between her brothers. "I'm glad. I don't know what I would do without you. Aiglentine would miss you, too." The boys exchanged a sad look. How it pained them to hear their sister so excited that they were alive when, in reality, they could die at any time.

"Speaking of Aiglentine," Beau began, his eyes alight with a certain light that was only there when he had an idea, "maybe we could all have a tea party with her. You know, me, you, Leo, and Aiglentine." Normally, the boys hated tea parties. But today, they knew that they didn't have much time left and that Galinda would want to spend time with the if she knew this fact. So today, they were actually sort of looking forward to a tea party.

"Of course!" Galinda said, hopping off the couch and running off towards the kitchen. "Callista!" She called.

"What is it, dear?" The maid asked, looking down at the little blonde.

"I wanna have a tea party with Beau and Leo and Aiglentine! And I need help and I need stuff." The little girl explained.

"Oh, I see." The maid said. "Well, since you want to celebrate that Beau and Leo are okay, maybe you can use the special cups."

"Really?" Galinda exclaimed. The special cups were only used for important guests and little Galinda was never allowed to touch them. But she had always wanted to use them for a tea party.

"Of course!" Callista said. "But you have to promise to be extra careful."

"I cross my heart!"

"Good. Now let's get set up."

The two spent the next hour setting up the tea party in Galinda's bedroom. They set up a table with a pink table cloth and set out the fancy cups. Then, Callista prepared chocolate milk, biscuits, and some soup. She put the chocolate milk in the teapot so that Galinda could serve it to her "guests" and laid out the biscuits on a dish and the soup in a serving bowl with a ladle. Then, she and Galinda set out a bowl for soup and a plate for the biscuits at each seat. And, after placing down napkins and silverware, Galinda changed into her favorite tea party dress and waited for her guests. Callista was going to tell Beau and Leo that Galinda was expecting them at any moment.

Aiglentine was the first to arrive. She came through the window that overlooked the garden where she lived. Aiglentine wore a beautiful red dress and her long hair in an elegant French braid. And Galinda pulled out a chair for Aiglentine to sit at. She took the napkin and put it in her lap and Galinda waited patiently for her brothers to arrive. Finally, there was a knock at her bedroom door and she skipped over to it and opened it. Beau and Leo stood there, wearing their Sunday suits. This surprised Galinda, because they never dressed in anything fancy for one of her tea parties.

"Hello. Thank you for coming." Galinda said, curtsying. "You both look absolutely wonderful."

"Thank you for inviting us." Beau said as he and Leo bowed.

"You look wonderful yourself." Leo said. Galinda smiled and held the door wide open.

"Please take a seat." She said. Beau and Leo both sat down, though Galinda did have to stop Leo before he sat on Aiglentine. But she was sure that he hadn't meant to nearly squash her friend.

"Thank you all for coming." Galinda said after she and her guests had all taken a seat. Then she gently grabbed the teapot and rose. First she went to Beau. "Would You like some tea?" She asked.

"Yes, thank you." Beau replied. He waited to see water be poured out of the pot, but was surprised when it was not water that was poured into his tea cup. It was chocolate milk. He smiled. Galinda always wanted chocolate milk at a tea party, but their parents did not want her to spill it and leave a stain. Galinda then moved on to Leo.

"Would you like some tea?" She asked.

"Yes, please." Leo nodded. Galinda poured some chocolate milk into his cup and moved onto the empty seat where they knew Galinda imagined that Aiglentine sat.

"Would You like some tea?" The blonde asked. The boys heard no answer, but they knew that Galinda imagined her friend's answer, because she poured some chocolate milk into the cup. Finally, she poured some tea into her own cup and set the pot down. She picked up the biscuit tray and walked around the table, offering a biscuit to her guests, who all gratefully accepted. She did the same with the soup, and soon, everybody had a cup of chocolate milk, a biscuit, and a bowl of soup. They all happily ate and made small talk.

And by the time that Beau and Leo left, they knew that, even if they were to die that day, Galinda would have that one last happy memory with them. And if they didn't die today, they would continue to give Galinda great memories with them.

Yay! A new chapter. I am going to try to do updates once or twice a week. But school really is crazy and my classes are all advanced classes. It's way harder than it was last year.

I started a community dedicated to Galinda-Centered fics. If you have any fics that you think I could add or know of any that you think that I should add, please PM me and tell me!

See you all later!
