Anxiously waiting, Earl and Abigor leaned into the room. Sat there patiently was Lawrence, dressed in a golden tailored suit with white ruffles. It brought out his features well as his hair glistened in the light, ever so lightly. One, two three, gosh Lamia was so late the boys were as good as dead, they could feel it now. Especially, as their stomachs crumbled and that empty bit of doom feeling reached them. Where on earth was she?

Singing merrily down the halls, dressed in a light blue with a long cloak, Lamia took her time. She felt it wasn't her needs that wanted her presence so the boys would simply have to wait until she got there at her time. Finally, though rounding the corner she caught a glimpse of the boys anxiously waiting by the door. It was a funny sight indeed. Abigor was slowly looking more female by the second, and it seemed Earl's feelings were on the brink of explosion. Everything seemed to be falling into place, this was why she felt obliged to help them. After all she was the one who had brought everyone together so far, she may as well end it too.

Relieved to see Lamia rounding that corner they beckoned her over quickly. Trying to usher her to enter the room, to which she laughed at their anxious faces and complied.

Upon entering the room, she noticed a finely dressed looking man sat across from her, his golden suit brang out his other features and his hair glowed a tint of yellow amongst the brown. He was breathtakingly beautiful, and it made Lamia want to take further steps in. Ignoring the dangers of talking to a stranger and where this man actually stood in ranks, Lamia pressed on so that she was by the table he was sat at. This Lawrence then gestured for her to sit, to which she did before looking up. The door to the room closed, so no peeping toms could watch. Much to the disappointment of Abigor and Earl, before Lawrence made eye contact with her. It was then that Lamia knew who she was sat across from, her eyes began to water and she cried. Tears flowing down her face she laughed to herself and said,
"I knew you'd find me, just like you said".
Lawrence wiped away a few of her tears and replied,
"Yes my dear I found you just like I said"....

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door sulking Abigor and Earl crouched to the floor to wait. Abigor's new lotion was working tremendously, and Earl could see his original female features it was extraordinary. He felt now was the time, as they were alone. So taking Abigor's hands into his own and, facing him Earl spoke softly,
"My darling I have longed for you from far apart, for so long. Now you can be who you truly are, is there any room for me in your heart?".
Earl waited for a response and Abigor stared at him startled, completely taken by this.

He knew Earl cared for someone but, until now he had never guessed it was him. Closely inspecting the man before him, Abigor smiled these were the features of a man he'd grown to care for deeply. So he answered,
" My you have become brave, of course there is room in my heart for you there always has been. I just have one request now, I am only known to you as a female from now on,"
She said. Delighted by her response Earl rapt Abigor into a tight hug agreeing, instantly to her request. After all you'll do anything for the one you care for.
