Ivy poured two glasses of water, bringing them over to the couch and sitting down next to Maggie. She handed one to her sister, and took a sip out of her own. The TV was on, showing video footage of proud, blue skinned alien speaking with the President of the United States. Morocco has not changed in the weeks since the attack on California.

The new treaty had been worked out for the most part. All that was left was for both parties to sign, and then the Stellas planned on returning to Stellis.

Lenan was in the background, talking to another official. He had offered his service to the government to help as a mediator between the two races. They had accepted, and he had flown to Washington the next day.

Ivy put an arm around Maggie, and Maggie leaned her head on her shoulder. They watched in silence until the program was over, and then Ivy wordlessly shut off the TV.

She stood up. "Time for bed."

Maggie groaned, and Ivy pulled her up from the couch. "It's been a long week. You need your sleep."

"You do too!" Maggie protested.

Ivy laughed. "And that's why I'm going to bed also."

Maggie walked off to her room, muttering something about the night being young, and Ivy went to her own room, changing into her pajamas. She let her hair down from its loose braid, walking over to her window and staring up at the sky.

A shooting star flashed across, and Ivy rested her elbows on the window sill. Everything's okay. She shut the window, turned off the lights, and slipped under the covers.

Everything's okay.
