The big city.

Blake suddenly appered next to Cora. He had seemed sad over the last few days, but said nothing of it.

"I have a surpise for you." He said. "You said you invited mother and father to your wedding? I found mother so your husband-to-be could meet her." He said boredly. He was bored and needed something to do.

His mother was standing behind the couch.

~~
Jade was sitting on Kate's old bed, wacthing Ruby and Zinc agure.

~~
Dust was sitting on a park bench when Clara appered next to him.

~~
Mason ate his icecream just as slowly, not saying anything.

~~
Jake was in his craven looking bored.

Cora looked up at Blake, jumping when he appeared so suddenly. Any trace of anger was gone with the mention of her mother.

"You did??" She asked, her face lighting up. "Where is she??"
~~~~~
Ava stepped into Jake's cavern. She recognized him from the first day she 'woke up', but said nothing to him and went straight to Elliot, who was sitting in the corner with her knees pulled up to her chest. She handed her the letter, and then turned to leave.
~~~~~
Ashlyn soon turned off the TV.

"I hate the news," She mumbled.
~~~
Lenora was glad she was invisible, or else she would probably be getting many weird stares. Her hair was dirty and she was all alone. She sighed, and stared intently at the ground, as if searching for something there.
~~~~~~
Sable soon stood up, and went inside, leaving Raven alone again. She was still staring at the grass, looking dazed.

Carlisle heard Cora downstairs, usually he would have seen what was going on but rather this time he set the book down and laid back on the bed.

Blake pointed over his shoulder.

~~
Clara smiled. "I know where Lenora is. She is in the underworld." She was lieing.

"What!? Why!?" He demaned.

~~
"Me too." Mason agreed.

Cora turned around slowly, and when she saw her mother, she blinked once, and opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. It had been almost a thousand years since she last saw her. She didn't know /what/ to say, but she was happy, so happy, to see her.
~~~~~
Elliot opened the letter, and jumped up, her face lighting up immediatly.

"Cora is getting married?!" She asked. Ava jumped and nodded, smiling lightly at her.

"Yes, and can you please give this to Tyler? Melody said you may know him," She said, handing her another letter. She noticed the light blush on Elliot's cheeks at the mention of Tyler, but didn't ask.

"Yes, I can," Elliot said.

Ava nodded.

"Thank you," She said, and left.
~~~~~~~
"I mean, people kill each other too much. It's not that hard to get along," She mumbled, though the scars up and down her legs showed how much of a hypocrite she was. She was wearing shorts and a tank top. She normally never let anyone see her legs or arms, but it was hot out, and the air conditioning was broken. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. Maybe she was starting to trust Mason. She didn't know, and didn't really care.
~~~~~~
Lenora sighed, and stood up, her face impassive once again.

Carlisle got off the bed and walked downstairs. "Hey Cora, I was wo-" He stopped short when he saw a women standing there, Cora looking surprised, and Blake looking bored on the couch. He quickly deduced what this meant and he gulped.

Her mother smiled, loveingly at her daughter.

When she hread Carlisle she truned to face him. "Is this him?"

Blake yawned. "Now if you don't mind, I have to sreach the underworld." He said before disappering.

~~
Jake closed his eyes, not really careing.

~~
Tyler was walking aimlessly around the underworld.

~~
Clara disappered, taking Dust with her.

~~
Mason had his jacket off, for once he wasn't cold. "So says you." He mumbled.

~~
Jade sighed.

Cora nodded.

"Y--yeah," She whispered. She was smiling broadly now, and turned to face Carlisle.
~~~~
Elliot was gone a few minutes later, and was looking for Tyler in the Underworld.
~~~~
Hymn was in the goddess' throne room, looking quite bored.
~~~~
Ashlyn glared at him, and threw a pillow at the back of his head.
~~~~
Ava was in heaven again, and Melody saw her looking so sad.

"Go talk to him," She urged. She had figured out by now what had happened by asking around. She just couldn't mind her own business.

"He doesn't want to talk to me," She mumbled, staring at the tree with the crows on it. Melody sighed.

"You must be Mrs. Redbird. It's nice to meet you." Carlisle pushed his nerves away for the time being "I am Carlisle." he told her.

"Marlys." She said with a smile. "Very nice to meet you."

~~
Clara appered in her mother's thrown room.

"Why you bring me here!?" Dust demaned.

~~
"Hey!" He said turning around, he smiled slightly. "You just proved my point."

Hymn blinked in surprise when she saw Dust. She hadn't seen him since he had left the Underworld, normal again, so long ago.

She said nothing, staying in the shadows, mostly hidden from view.
~~~~
Cora had her eyes back on her mother. She was smiling.
~~~~~
Ashlyn frowned, then threw another pillow at him. She couldn't help it; a small laugh escaped her lips.

Ether frowned.

"This is very unlike her," She whispered to herself.

"Would you like anything to eat or drink?" Carlisle asked politely, he was trying to figure out how he was more comfortable with the women he had never met before more that he was with his own mother.

"No, no thank-you." She said just as politly. She truned her head to look at Cora. "You have yet so say anything." She said.

~~
Chris stood up, carrying a bottle. "This is her soul." He lied. The bottle was empty.

"What?" He yelled and went to take the bottle, but moment he did, he lost his soul, again.

~~
He tossed it back. "Haveing fun?"

Felix smiled. "Is that a bad thing?"

"He's going to die," Ether said simply. "So perhaps not."

Ashlyn just nodded, still smiling. She hugged the pillow to her chest, and looked at him.

"You know, I still don't know much about you," She pointed out.
~~~~
Hymn stepped out, and wanted to say something, but what?

The annoying Dust was back, but she felt something. Guilt?
~~~~~~
Lenora sighed, and started to walk again.
~~~~
Cora was smiling, and a tear ran down her cheek. She wrapped her mom in a tight hug before she could say anything else.

Carlisle smiled at Cora's happiness.

Rose came downstairs to investigate the sudden flood of happiness, Carmen at her heels. "Oh, Marlys, hello again." Rose said with a smile.

"You say that like it's a good thing." Felix said.

Mason looked at her. "What do you want to know?"

~~
Dust's eyes went blank, as he with drew his hand.

Chris disappered.

Dust looked around but said nothing, he rembered nothing.

~~
Marlys smiled and hugged her back. She then looked up at Rose. "Hello."

Blake suddenly appered next to Carlisle. "Well that cuold of have went better." He mumbled.

"It is," Ether said. She was invisible even to Ashlyn now.

"What are your parents like? Did you have any siblings?" Ashlyn asked.
~~~~~~
Cora finally let go, but too her mom's hand. When she saw Blake she quickly wiped her tears away with the back of her other hand.
~~~~~~
Hymn frowned, but stayed where she was.
~~~~
Lenora was back at James' house a few minutes later. She stepped inside.

"Dust!" She called. "James!"

"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked him, still smiling since Cora was happy.

Blake frowned. "Have you ever tried to find a man you haven't seen since you were six, and he calls you by your brother's name, and when you finally able to tell him who really are you rember you were named after that man?" Blake asked.

Marlys couldn't help but laguh slightly.

~~
Mason skipped the quistion about his parnets. "My older brother Jerry, he's a cop, there's Marybeth she is only 12, there was Dorthy, she was Marybeth's twin, she died a few years ago." He said.

~~
James looked at Lenora. "He went looking for you."

~~
"Welcome back, Dust." The goddess said.

~~
Tyler was heading towards the goddess's thrown room when he saw Elliot.

"No, but my father hates me so I get what you mean." Carlisle told him.

Cora laughed lightly, sniffling slightly. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand again. She couldn't wait to see her father, too.
~~~~~
"Oh, I'm sorry," Ashlyn said quickly, looking down. She took another spoonful of ice cream before looking back at him.
~~~~~
"He did?" Lenora asked, blinking in surprise. "Oh....I suppose I should go look for him then," She said, and turned to leave again. "Did he say where he was looking?" She asked.
~~~~~~
Elliot grinned and ran towards Tyler, practically knocking him down with a hug. She was too excited about the news about Cora, and just about seeing him again.
~~~~~~
Ava was in the park a few minutes later. She had snuck back to Link's house to get her things, and now she had her violin next to her, Angel and Demon on her lap. They were silent, however.

Suddenly thier father appered next to Blake.

~~
"For what? You did nothing wrong." Mason was frowning.

~~
Clara appered next to Lenora. "Try the underworld." She said with a laguh, and disappered.

~~
"Hello little one." Tyler said with a laguh.

~~

Ashlyn shook her head.

"Nevermind," she said. Then she looked at him, smiling slightly.
~~~
"Papa!" Cora cried, and ran at him, hugging him tightly. Oh, how she had missed him! She could still remember the day he died clearly. She wondered if he would be proud of how she had turned out. After all, the last time he had seen her, she was only 7.
~~~~~
"Hi, Ty!" Elliot exclaimed. "Look, look!" She said, and handed him the unopened envelope. She was practically bouncing in place while she waited for him to read it.
~~~~~
"The underworld...?" Lenora mumbled, but she obeyed nonetheless. A few minutes later she was in the goddess' throne room, looking around.

"Jeez!" Carlisle jumped and tripped backwards, landing on his back. He looked dazed as he looked at the ceiling "That hurt..."

Blake chouldn't help but laguh at Carlisle.

"Cora?" He asked, unsure, after all he got Blake and Tyler missed up.

~~
Mason frowned. "Okay then."

~~
He took the envlope. "Um," He said after he opened it. "I can't read."

~~
The goddess had Dust sitting on the floor near her feet.

"Hello, Lenora." She said, but Dust just looked blank.
