Hope's POV:

The castle was bigger than I remembered. Not sure about he trash and how clean it is but... It's good to see these again. This time, not being chased around by a bunch of little kids. I went past rows of columns and tapestries bearing the Pisces West crescent. Nothing inside changed. I wet straight ahead and like every single castle I've come to know, there was the great hall or the throne room. However you call it. There used to be four thrones here. Then, three. I don't know if Cloudy still remembers that she had a twin. She decided to shut that memory out as her beloved sibling is deceased. So then there became three. The night Cloudy and the Queen fled, the Queen died. Then there became two. When it was confirmed that Cloudy was dead, there stood one.

"Your highness..."

"Speak..."

"I am Hope. I have returned."

"Hope..?"

"Your majesty, do I have to prove to you?"

"Yes. It would a appreciated if you did." I took out my sword and knelt down. Like how the sword was presented to me that evening. It laid in my two hands and I said:

"I am Hope. "Hope of all of Pisces West. It was Cloudy who made up my nickname-"

"Don't... Say that name. Please. Why are you so big-"

"Sir, I come here with good and bad news."

"Make it quick. Start with the bad."

"Sir, please. I must start with the good."

"Go on..."

"Your daughter Cloudy is still alive. That's why I have not come back the many months." His eyes grew. "The bad news is... Erelle is under attack... We need a place to let the people stay until the war is over."

"I can't believe you... I'm sorry." Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around. The cat girl herself stood behind me. She pushed me away.

"Father I AM the daughter you had. I may have been thought dead but no. These months I spent in pure blindness. I had no recall of my memory whatsoever. Mother took it away."

"Then fight me."

"What..?"

"We're already going to war and you want me to fight?!" She gasped.

"You can't be my daughter. She's dead." (Watching the first ep of Pokemon for the first time lol)

"Or is she..?" She said. I laughed. "Is there anyway I can prove to you?"

"What was the real name of your sibling?" I gasped. What.

"Cheryl."

"HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS STORY HAS A "C" IN THE BEGINNING OF THEIR NAME?!" I blurted. Cloudy and her dad stared. I backed down. "Heh..."

"What story?" She asked.

"Never mind."

"So it... Really is you?!" Her dad's eyes were swelling up.

"Yeah. Mom died though. So did Cheryl." She said sadly.

"I know." They hugged.

"Now please. Let my cousin's people stay in Pisces West." She said.

"Your cousin?"

"Yes. HapPy."

"HapPy?" HapPy came running in. Where are they coming from?!

"Haiiii." He wagged his tail.

"Oh HapPy!!!"

"Don't tell me. Colby?" I asked Cloudy. She nodded. Colby came running in as well but too fast tripping over Cloudy's tail an landing right at her feet when she moved back. Colby looked up and realized that everyone was staring. He froze. Cloudy offered her hand all sweet and stuff. Colby was blushing. A lot. He stood up and her father was glaring. Cloudy noticed. So she let out an evil smile. She smacked Colby on the head.

"YAS lol." I said.

"Next time watch where you are going." She laughed. Everyone laughed.
