A/N: If I'm being honest, I wanted to see more from the HEROES ending and the short story. Here's my take on Gilly and her friends receiving the Magical Medal of Honor!

Hey Guys!

I know I'm supposed to send this through the Mini Magical Scrolls, but Professor Sebastian said no more calls so I used the Pegasus Post instead! I used my wand to send it as quickly as possible. By now, you're probably having breakfast or lunch or dinner wherever you are, wondering what this is all about.

I just want to say I miss you guys and can't wait to see everyone again! Let's have a memorable time on the day!

P.S. The pouches are gifts from Hayley and Jack to congratulate us! Send them your thanks!

P.S.S. The third pouch is from me! Actually, it's from Peaches. Please treasure it with all your heart.

Maxine

I can't believe this isn't a dream.

Now, I know what you're thinking. What is happening, Gilly? Is there another villain attack? Did you curse yourself again? Don't you always tell this to yourself?

All perfectly valid questions. And no, it's not because of Peaches's 'present'. This may just be one of the best things that has ever happened in my life.

Even Professor Sebastian looks pleased!

See, three days ago I received an invitation from the Royal Court that my friends and I were to be awarded the Magical Medal of Honor. The Magical Medal of Honor, a prestigious award given to people who have shown tremendous bravery and courage in Enchantasia. We received this after saving the kingdom from being cursed by Rumplestiltskin and Alva.

Pretty cool, right?

Who would've thought a former thief like me was able to save Enchantasia? Of course it isn't just me of course, my friends were all there during the Blood Moon. We were receiving the award together after weeks of talking through the Mini Magical Scrolls. I can't deny I don't miss them.

I wake up feeling drowsy after sleeping late. Mother does not look pleased that I'm not moving as early as she wants me to be. Can you blame me? My friends and I (minus Maxine) had one last secret call on the Mini Magical Scrolls on what to expect at the ceremony. Maxine had sent a letter off-scroll with gifts from other people we knew who weren't coming to support us. Aside from those gifts, Trixie gives me a new pair of boots. She and Anna designed them to replicate my old ones.

I draw Trixie in a hug. "Thank you. This is the best gift I've ever received."

Trixie giggles. "You're welcome. Now go take a bath. Mother and I will give you a makeover!"

When I do, Trixie drags me to our vanity mirror, newly added and definitely was not my suggestion. My sister tries to dry my hair with her magic, but Mother stops her and convinces her to check on Father if he was getting ready.
