Following morning I woke up by Baron carrying me to the breakfast table."Let me sleep you giant idiot!""No.It's breakfast time whether you like it or not.Right mom?"His mom is totally on my side."Put the girl back in her bed Baron!"Baron turned around so I can face his mother."Thank you Mrs.Goyhern.Now put me back to my bed please."Then he put me back on my bed.Not so long after Peter did the same."Do any of you listen to me?!Put the girl back to he bed!She's clearly not awake and you two are being very disrespectful.Yeah we get it you are her brother.You're her boyfriend."I sighed."Can you turn around so I can look at Mrs.Goyhern?"Peter turned around."Thank you for trying but the only time I can wake up under my terms is my grandparents' house if it's the three of us.It's either my roommate Silver,my little cousin Alex,Baron or Marigold's screamings.Which is dreadful for the whole club tower.We get it you're in love with the school bully and you want to look good.Ugh!"

"So...do I put you back to your bed or on the ground?"I chuckled."On the ground if the coffee is ready."He laughed."You're insufferable.Off to bed.I'll get you once I make it.""Thank you.You're the best."And he did get me when the coffee was ready.I made my hair into a bun less then five seconds and sat down."You did that quiet fast."I chuckled."I do it all the time.It's habit.Muscle memory kind of stuff could be more appropriate."We had breakfast all together and then we brought everybody's gift to the living room per Mrs.Goyhern's request.This time Dex got me girl."Hey there.What do you think about your name?It has to rhyme with Hector because he's your boyfriend."She laughed."Does it have to rhyme?"I shook my head."So do you have a name in mind?"She nodded."There was this serie my previous owner used to watch.There is a lady crazy about garden gnomes.Her neighbors are the main characters.Do you remember the neighbor's name?"

"Babette from Gilmore Girls?Yeah.So...Babette?"She nodded."It's cute."I chuckled."But I must warn you Hector is a little bit uptight and grumpy.You need to push his limits as much as you can because he's driving me crazy.Now it's your turn girl."She laughed and jumped on my shoulder.I was looking for the next gift when I realized everybody staring at me."What?"Baron pointed Babette."That's my second dragon.Yes I know thank you very much.Hector is a pain in the ass."

"You talked to it?"I sighed."It's a she and yes I talked with her.I asked Hector what name he wanted he didn't answer so I thought maybe she would and she did.What's wrong about this?I ta-Oh...I see.I understand what is going on here right now.So...quick explanation.I can talk to dragons.End of explanation."

"That's not the end of that explanation but I'll write you a letter full of questions."I sighed."Come on Baron this is my last night here with you and you guys.Let it slide."He shook his head.And we all got back to our gift opening thing."Well I don't have to go shopping for another whole year if you ask me."We all laughed a little and then we had lunch.After lunch older people left to go around the town and left me and Peter alone at home.Of course Baron wasn't thrilled but...he's ok with it."Wanna know something?"I nodded but my mind wondered back to our date the other night and I was touching the ring...I suddenly felt the disappointment that assuming Ralph felt.

"Rose?"I got out of my trance."I'm so sorry.What were you saying I blacked out there for a second?"He chuckled."Yeah I realized.I said that I looked into this bi thing after last night and I think it's facinating.Think about it.You can pull both genders.That is so cool."I laughed."Well no one really knows yet.It's just me,Baron,Ivory,you and Silver.I haven't told my parents or my grandparents or my little cousin or my best friend yet.So...where I am going with this is that I was wondering if you could keep this tiny piece of information to yourself?"He nodded."Thanks Peter."He sighed."Too bad you have to go tomorrow morning."I sighed."Actually...I'm leaving at three am to be in the airport in time so I won't miss my portal."

He straighten up on the couch."Really?"I nodded."I would love to stay but headmaster Lyre says and it happens.I don't love him but I don't dislike him either.He got me out of detention one time."I chuckled."I'm sorry I hadn't told you before."I kissed him."You're lucky you're cute."Then we just made out on the couch.We eventually ended up falling asleep and then Baron woke me up to get me to the airport."Is it time?"He nodded."Alright I'll get my stuff."He nodded."I'll wait downstairs."I nodded and I woke Peter up."I'm leaving.""Already?"I nodded and he kissed me."You're not making it easier Peter.Please."He slowly stopped."I like you Rosalind Monroe.A lot."I chuckled."I'll miss you too.I'll be in another realm but...you'll write to me?"He nodded.It was dark but I could swear on my life I felt a tear.Maybe it was me.Maybe it was him.Maybe both.I don't know.But him keep kissing me didn't help me."Peter I need to go.But...spend the winter holiday with me and my family.I'll talk to them.What do you think?"

"That'd be great."Then we kissed a little longer and then he escorted me to the airport with Baron."I'll miss you two."Then the portal opened."I need to go.See you guys as soon as I could."Then I walked through the portal and here I was in headmaster Lyre's office."Welcome back Ms.Monroe."I smiled."Please let me hide in here for a few months.Please!I don't want to explain my boyfriend to my friends.That'll be a torture for me."

"Go to your club tower Ms.Monroe it is very late."I nodded and went to my club tower and no one was there yet.It was just me.Unless some seventh years spent the holiday here.Before I went to my room I thought I would go sit by the fireplace and just as I was about to sit on the couch I saw Ralph sleeping on it.I softly tried to wake him up."Ralph?"He turned the other way."Ralph you fell asleep on the couch.Go to your room."But it wasn't Ralph that was sleeping there.
