After another hour Dawn ended up hugging all three of them goodbye. It had been nice talking to her again. After a couple cups of brew Lily opened up the wine bottle. She poured glasses for all three of them. "To a great party." Lily toasted.

"A great fairy princess." Pandora said, raising her glass.

"To the Kingdom!" Ralvania said, raising her glass up, laughing.

"To the Kingdom!" Chimed in the other two.

                  They all took a healthy sip of the wine, relaxing with a just girls evening. Ralvania was tiresome from the days events, but rarely did she get to see Pandora. The big party had been fun; even the true crazy that came with a huge castle full  of beings. The empress was happy for Lily, who'd filled everyone's goblet back to the top with the intoxicating purple liquid. 

   "Drink up ladies." 

"Do you think Colin will join us?" Pandora asked.

"I don't know. Why do you ask?" Lily replied taking a sip.

"Because where Colin goes my mate tends to follow." Pandora said, taking a gulp.

Ralvania giggled nearly choking on the wine. The other two snickered briefly.

 "Thank you both for staying a little longer." Lily told them, sipping her drink.

"Anytime." Pandora told her.

After one more glassful, Pandora stood up slowly.

"I've had a wonderful time tonight but I had better get Salem while he can still walk." She said.

"Thanks for coming." Lily told her.

"Glad we got to visit as well." The empress told her.

"We"ll have to do this again soon." Pandora told them both.

"Yes." Both of them replied, almost at the same time.

         Pandora turned and left heading off to get her mate and go home. The empress stayed for one more glass with Lily before she too, said farewell.
