Sophie was in her room staring at a wall thinking about what Keefe had said to her. When Edaline knocked on her door with a tray of ripplepuffs. "You ok sweetie?" She asked with concern. Sophie responded with a sigh and, "I will be once I have some space from Keefe and Fitz." The boys had stopped by five times each that day. Edaline smiled sadly and sat on the bed next to Sophie. "I remember when Jolie was your age and had a similar problem." Edaline started to explain, "She was so conflicted. The boys were people she had known for a very long time. She didn't want to hurt either of them." "Then what did she do?" Sophie questioned. "She listened to her heart." Edaline responded, smiling. Sophie stood up quickly. "I know what I need to do. Thanks Mom!" Edaline started to say your welcome but no was there to hear it. Because Sophie has already run out the room and to the Leapmaster.

"Well this is awkward." Biana grimaced as she stated the obvious. Sophie was red and Keefe was redder. But Fitz won. He was as red as Mrs Snugglebottom. "Can we get this over with?" Keefe asked. Sophie nodded and spoke, "Just before I tell you this, I want you to know that I love you guys." They nodded and Biana watched. "I've decided to choose both of you."

"What"

"What"

"What"

"I know I know! Just let me explain. I choose both of you. Becaus-" she stopped abruptly when she realized it would be easier to tell them separately. "I need to talk to you separately." She walked over to Fitz quickly and dragged him outside by the collar. As soon as the two elves got outside Sophie launched into her speech of: Don't freak out. I love you guys too much. But she was cut off by perfect lips colliding with hers. It was much like their kiss at the Four Seasons Tree. Long and sweet. When Fitz broke off the kiss he transmitted:

(Italics are Sophie and Bold is Fitz)

I love you.

She was blushing from head down.

I love you too.

What am I gonna tell Keefe?

Exactly what you told me.

Sophie sighed and turned towards the house. But transmitted one last thing before she went inside.

Wish me luck.

Always.

As she walked in Keefe sprang on her. "Is it my turn?" He asked quickly. Sophie nodded and walked him outside. She launched into her speech, "Keefe, I'm so sorry. I love you both so much. Too much. But-" "You love him more." Keefe said, broken. "That's not fair Keefe!" Sophie exclaimed. "No, I get it." He said sadly, smiling. "Just I'll see you around." As he walked away Sophie sobbed. She wished that he didn't have to get hurt. But, some things just can't be.
