You were in the bathtub, a hat holder was scrubbing your fur until it began shining.

"Today is a special day!" Tengu hopped up to the bath, a smile gracing his features.

"I don't think I can do this..." You sighed.

"Come on master! You already made
It this far!" You stood up in the bath, shaking up as much water as possible, the water burnt Tengu's light out.

"If you say so." Tengu turned around as you stepped out of the tub.

"It will be perfect! Once the moment is right, you will confess your love to him." Tengu heard multiple dryers turn on, they must have been drying your fur. "I know you can do it!"

"Yes, I can...I am- no I can't do this." You slumped down in the chair you were sitting in.

"You love Randy don't you?"

You sighed as you began to dress yourself. You put on a purple dress with a black pea coat "I do, more than anything."

"That is why you have to tell him!"

Just as you finished getting ready Nomi came in "Randy is waiting for you master."

You walked out of your dressing room, blushing when you saw Randy. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a purple button down shirt. Randy was so handsome. You and Randy met where the staircase ended, and you two began walking down it, hand in hand. Music began playing when you guys began walking.

Once you guys made it down Randy placed his hands on your waist, you nervously placed your own on his shoulders. Then just like that, you two were lost in each other and the music.

Randy loved twirling you around, he loved the feel of your soft fur, he loved how your eyes would light up, he loved everything about you. It did not matter what you were, human, or barbarian, all he knew was that he loved you. It was such an odd way to fall for someone, but life just works in mysterious ways.

It was amazing for both of you, but it could not last forever. Once you and Randy finished dancing you resorted to sitting in the garden. "Randy?" Randy looked at you, "Are you happy here with me?"

"yes," you smiled, looking down, but you began to slightly panic when you saw Randy looking off in the distance, a frown plastered onto his features. "I just wish I could see my mom again."

You looked down again before smiling "there is a way." You pulled out the enchanted piece of glass "I carry it with me wherever I go, it is my connection to the outside world after all, especially after my electronics died. This piece of glass will show you anything, including your mother."

Randy stared in awe as you handed him the shard "I want to see my mom." You and Randy watched as the picture appeared, your eyes widened in shock. Rae was searching through the woods, coughing and wheezing. "My mom....she is sick and she may be dying! And she is all alone!"

You look up to the window of your room, you could see the phones light glow "then go to her." You looked away from it.

"What?"

"I release you, you are no longer my prisoner, go save her."

"thank you (your name)." Randy glanced down at the glass, "don't worry mom I'm on my way!" Randy turned holding out the glass so you could take it back.

"take it with you, then you will always have a way to look back and remember me." You pushed the glass towards Randy. Randy nodded.

"thanks for understanding." Randy got up and hurriedly ran into the mansion, so he could gather his belongings and leave.

Nomi, who was passing Randy as he left the garden, happily walked up to you "everything is going perfect, good job!"

"I let him go..."

"What...what! But why?"

You sighed, looking at Nomi "because I love him."

Randy had gathered his things and was by the entrance of the mansion now, ready to leave. He just failed no notice the chipped tea cup that his inside his pocket as he began walking away from the mansion. Randy frowned when he heard your pained roar.
