The pitter patter of tiny feet. The sounds of an innocent child's laughter.
Those were the noises that filled the empty hallways of the Butterfly castle as young Miles - having been formally adopted into the Butterfly family only a couple of weeks prior - ran through the halls as quickly as his legs could carry him, finding his way to the stairwell & traversing down all the way to the ground floor, where he dashed towards the throne room. Everyone that was close to the family - Marco, his family, their friends, Buff Frog & his children, etcetera - were waiting there, having set up a mock ceremony not unlike the one they had set up for Star for her mock coronation. This time, though, it wasn't a coronation, and Star was not the center of it. Miles was, and everyone was delighted for it.
In the boy's hands he held flowers - wilted flowers - which he intended to give as presents to the attending guests & his new family. It didn't register to him that the flowers were essentially dead. He was just happy to show his appreciation to his new circle of family. And they were ready & willing to accept them no matter how dead they were. He approached the door leading into the throne room where everyone was waiting for him. He was way too short to reach the door handle, so all he could do was stand there and wait for someone to let him in...not that it bothered him.
Inside the throne room, everyone was excitedly awaiting the arrival of their guest of honor. "Ready?" Marco asked his beloved.
"Yeah. I'm ready." She told her boyfriend with a kiss before turning to her parents. "Are you guys ready?"
"I haven't been this excited for any throne room gathering since the day we gave you the wand." River told her. "Brings back memories..."
"It does, doesn't it?" Moon responded. Before she could say any more, the sound of faint giggling was heard from the outside. That was their cute that Miles was here. Unfortunately, it did not dawn on the guard at the door - in this case, Buff Frog - that the boy was too short to reach the door. Thankfully it only took Star clearing her throat for him to get the message & open the door for him. Sure enough, Miles stood there, dead flowers in hand, and the biggest smile he could possibly have on his face.
"Hiiiii!" He squealed in delight before he ran into the throne room, excitedly jumping from audience member to audience member, either handing them a flower or giving them a hug. Everyone quickly found themselves sucked into Miles's adorable charm. The goofy, sincere, beaming smile on his face perpetuating gratitude for his new home was like a magic spell. As he pitter-pattered his way towards his new family, he found himself with just enough flowers to give to each of them - Moon, River, Globgor, Eclipsa, Meteora, Star, Marco, Rafael, Angie, and Mariposa - and doing the simple task of handing them each a flower was enough to elicit more joyful squeals from the boy. When he was finished handing out the flowers, he immediately dashed towards Star & requested a hug from his new sister.
"Aww, hi you little munchkin." She didn't hesitate to pick him up & hold the boy, smothering him in kisses. "Are you ready?" He rapidly nodded his head & giggled. "Okay, go! Go find mommy!" She put him down & the boy complied, tapping his little feet towards Moon, who subsequently picked him up off the ground & held him in her arms, staring into his beautiful eyes. After kissing his forehead, she put him down in between her & River, facing the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen..." Moon began to announce to the group. "Thank you all for joining us on this marvelous day." She motioned over to Eclipsa, who took out a small crown and walked over to behind Miles, ready to place it on his head. "We are more than proud to introduce the newest member of the Butterfly family..." And Eclipsa gently placed the crown on top of Miles's head. The boy initially reacted with confusion, remaining motionless to allow himself time to process what was happening. "Miles Butterfly!" But upon hearing his now official new legal name, he exploded into loud giggles & cheers, stamping his feet all over the place & applauding, as everyone surrounding him and in the audience joined in it.
