*one year later*

((Tulip is now 20, Junior is 23 and Susie is 19 hehe))

*night*

Susie: *looks at Tulips empty bed sadly* *looks at window* * looks back at her door to make sure no one is there* *looks back at window* ... *goes out the window and into the forest*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tulip: *smiles at Junior* It's night, so I think I'll go out.

Junior: Ok. Be safe.

Tulip: *smiles sweetly at him* I will. *takes out the rocks that block the hole of the cave* *climbs out*

Junior: *puts the rocks back*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Susie: *goes to the shore near the end of the watterfall* *looks at the water* *cries* *puts her hands over her face while she cries*

Tulip: *walks through the waterfall*

Susie: *doesnt notice* *slowly looks up while crying* *sees Tulip* *shocked*

Tulip: *sees Susie* *stops walking though the water and stares at her*

Tulip: *sees Susie* *stops walking though the water and stares at her*

Susie: T-Tulip....?? *still in tears*

Tulip: *still frozen in place* *rushes through the water away from Susie* *gets out and runs away*

Susie: Wha- WAIT! TULIP!! PLEASE!

Tulip: *disappeared into the forest*

Susie: Please.... *slowly starts to cry again* *runs back home*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Susie: *opens the door to her house* *runs into her parents room* TULIP IS ALIVE!

Her parents: *sit up quickly / frozen in place in shock*

Matilda: What...?

Susie: SHES ALIVEEE TULIP IS ALIVE!! *cries of happiness*

Matilda: What??? A-are you sure..?

Susie: POSITIVE. I SAW HER OUT IN THE FOREST!

Richard(Tulips dad): You might be seeing things, Honey.

Susie: I WASNT!!! I SAW HER!!! But when we saw each other.... she ran away from me.... like she didn't wanna see me...

Matilda: *thinks for a moment*.... *looks at Richard* Maybe she really did see Tulip...

Susie: I DID I DID

Richard: Maybe... but what were you even doing in the forest anyway?

Susie: I-I... I wanted to go back there... because... it was the anniversary of her death...

Richard: ok, I understand, but you shouldn't be out there this late at night

Susie: Ok.

Matilda: Where did you see her?

Susie: SHE WAS AT THE END OF THE WATERFALL

Matilda: *thinks*... Do you think she'll be there if we go look for her?

Susie: I don't know... I don't know if she even wants to come back...

Matilda: Oh I'm sure she does, Honey.

Susie: But.... s-she ran away from me...

Matilda: I wonder if.... Junior is still alive with her....

Susie: Oh. That would.. make a lot of sense.

Matilda: *sigh* I really should have just let them be.

Susie: yea...

Matilda: *starts to tear up* *looks at Susie* Lets go find her.

Susie: *small smile*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tulip: *hiding behind a tree* *looks at the end of the waterfall* *sigh of relief* *whispers* I think she's gone. But she saw me.... agh..... *slightly frustrated expression turns into sadness* I haven't seen her in forever... *shakes head* But I cant see her. I need to get back to Junior. *carefully tip-toes to the river with berries, a few fruits, and more firewood* *gets in the water, goes to the cave, and knocks on the rocks*

Junior: *takes out the rocks* *loving smirk*

Tulip: *playfully raises eyebrow* *whispers* just let me in, you goof.

Junior: *moves out of the way of the opening and helps her in*

Tulip: *gets in and puts her things down* *turns around to put the rocks back and faces Junior* *a little startled*

Junior: *smiles at her playfully*

Tulip: *giggles* Fine. What do you want.

Junior: I want a kiss.

Tulip: *rolls eyes* Fine. *puts hands under his beak and kisses him*

Junior: *wraps wings around her*

*outside the cave, Matilda, Richard, and Susie come to the spot she saw Tulip*

Susie: She was right-......What's that? *points to the light coming from a little spot on the waterfall*

Matilda: It... It looks like there's someone in there...

Susie: *gasp* THAT MUST BE WHERE SHE IS!

Tulip: *hears Susie* *stops kissing* *gasp* *whispers* closeupthecavecloseupthecavecloseupthecAVE *starts picking up the rocks*

Junior: *helps her*

Susie: *looks at the light that slowly goes away* Wait what??
