"Ah, there you are. I was wondering why you were still outside." Cheyanne stood at the end of the hallway and motioned Lucy to her bedroom.

"Sorry, I had to say goodbye to all our friends before they left. Lots of stuff was said." Lucy followed her and flopped onto Cheyanne's bed. "Whew, I feel exhausted after all that."

Cheyanne snickered and seated herself on the bed beside her. "I can imagine, we haven't been alone like this since we first met. Just the two of us chilling in my room. It brings back a lot of good memories." She stared down at Lucy with a smile. "You know, I've been meaning to ask something."

Lucy rested her head on Cheyanne's lap. "Sure, ask away!"

"Would you like to move into an apartment together? Just the two of us since I need to be near my college." Cheyanne chuckled.

"Huh, why us? Wouldn't Ralph get lonely not having some company around?" Lucy asked.

Cheyanne shook her head. "No, he'll be going on small tours with his band. I thought this was the perfect time to ask you out." Her face reddened and she coughed a little.

Lucy's eyes widened and she opened her mouth. "Wait, this was your way to ask me out on a date, too!? You want us to live in an apartment together, too?" She gulped.

"Yes, silly! I think we've been good friends long enough and I love having you around. So why not just date and see how it goes?" Cheyanne bent down to Lucy and kissed her.

"Mmph, I'm fine with this! Guess we'll be dating while you're in college." Lucy giggled at her. "And I love you too, Chey."

Cheyanne winked and petted Lucy. "That makes me one very happy necromancer! We'll head out tomorrow and search for a good apartment. In the meantime, why don't we chill here and watch a movie?"

Lucy quickly folded her wings and smiled. "Yeah, sounds good to me!" She along with Cheyanne searched for a movie while they laughed together.

In a dark room, a dim television blared the news while the president emerged on the screen. Before he spoke, the television cut to black, and a scoff echoed out. A masculine figure quickly dropped the remote and clasped his hands together.

"The time of peace between humans and supernaturals needs to be stopped. Both sides will know what pain and misery will feel like." A male voice whispered to himself. "I'll bring back the fear like Spades did at that concert. But to do that I'll need the help of a very special little girl." His eyes scanned through a pile of photos in his hands. Images of Lucy, Yori, Cheyanne, and Tex grew visible before he pulled a card out. Princess soon emerged on it as he laughed to himself. "Yes, she's the one that will be the key to my plan. I just need to find her and then the killings can commence."
