 The very next day, Queen Theresa was overjoyed to see her daughter alive and well, with not even a scratch on her. Adrien worked hard to make sure Andrew was imprisoned for his actions, exposing his entire sinister plan to the public. The Naughtyblocks were forced to do community service for their role in Andrew's scheme, and while they grumbled and complained they knew this was the better alternative to what could've happened.

Over the next few weeks the Numberblocks established their goodwill, erasing most people's doubts of their benevolence. Brooke spent more and more time among the residents of her kingdom, happy that things were looking up for both species.

Eventually the time came for Brooke to officially be crowned Queen. Right before her coronation, she had to calm her nerves by confiding in the Numberblocks.

"What if I screw up in the most spectacular way imaginable?" Brooke worried. "I haven't known about my royal heritage for that long, I don't think I'm prepared enough!"

"Brooke, we promise you'll always have us to help you," Five assured her, touching a gloved hand to her cheek. The soft touch made Brooke feel more at ease.

"Thanks Five," said Brooke. "Thank you everyone, for all you've done for me. I'd never have made it to this moment without you."

The Numberblocks all had their biggest smiles, endlessly proud of the human they'd come to love and cherish. And now was the time for Brooke to fulfill her destiny. She stepped into the light, seeing the celebrating crowd below. Everyone fell silent when Queen Theresa stood to address them.

"Many years ago I thought I'd lost my daughter for good. Now, thanks to all of these wonderful Numberblocks, she's been returned to us, and I'm proud to pass my title onto her. I am confident that the kingdom will prosper under Queen Brooke."

With that, Theresa lifted the crown off her head and passed it to Brooke, who placed it onto her own. Cheering came from all directions, with humans and Numberblocks alike celebrating the passing of the torch. Twelve rolled her eyes as Eighteen blubbered with emotion, Adrien and Twenty-Six embraced each other, and One had the widest smile of them all, thinking back to the very first day she'd laid eyes on Brooke, and how it had all led to this moment.

And with both species now living in harmony, the new horizons to explore were limitless.
