"Happy Birthday Maddie!" my new family says as I blow out the candles.

I look over at Hare. She smiles at me. That smile that melts my heart every time. I still haven't told her how I feel. I should I know I should however I cannot bring myself to it. Queen and Knave have welcomed me with open arms. Ali is going to school and she made friends. Shes 8 now, and I am 17. I completed high school and next year I am going to college to study art. The year we have been here has changed our lives.

"Maddie, can you come with me for your present?" Hare asks.

"Of course my dearest Hare." I reply getting up.

"Can I have cake?" Ali asks.

"Of course Ali. Just not too much." I say booping her nose. I smile as she giggles.

I follow Hare to her room. Its the opposite of Alice's and I's. Instead of the blue its black. Everything is black, with light grey trim. Her curtain is the only color with it being a pride flag. I smile a little at that.

"Look, Petal its been a year now, and I have to admit something." Hare says.

I gulp. Is my dream becoming true? Does she truly feel the same?

"I like you. Well yes obviously I do like you, but no I actually like like you. Honestly I do believe I love you Petalia." Hare says.

I stand there. Is this a joke? Have I truly lost my mind?

"This is honestly not a joke Maddie. You are not going crazy. I do like you honestly. Please give me a chance." Adhara pleads.

"I like you too." I whisper.

She steps closer to me. And I take a deep.

"My parents know. They will allow this, if this is what you want." Hare says.

I step closer, and our noses touch. I kiss her softly, and she kisses me back.

"MADDIE!" Alice yells barging in.

"Yes dear Ali?" I ask squatting to her height.

"Mommy and Daddy got you your own room!" she exclaims.

I smile at what she refers to Queen and Knave to. They know I call them that, and I am glad Alice has found her parents. I follow her to a door I didn't notice before. I walk in and gasp. Its a beautiful royal purple with lavender trim, and a lesbian pride flag as a curtain. There is a loft bed with a desk and a bunch of art supplies.

"Thank you so much." I gush.

"Of course. You are our daughter too." Queen and Knave say.

Tears form as I hug them. This is truly wonderland.
