Their next meeting was not as lively as their previous one, for sure, because they just stared at each other.

Snugglemagne was half excited, half worried. Will she accept my love? Or will she reject it for fun just to torture me? Ahhhhh! Please accept, please accept, please accept....

On the other hand, Night was unsure how to phrase it. Timber, please bless your sister so she can say the right words. She was very nervous, and it showed; her palms were sweaty, she absolutely refused to make eye contact with Snugglemagne, and she was shaking slightly.

The two were completely and utterly quiet.

It was Night who eventually broke the silence, thankfully, "I... I would like to say something to you, if that is okay, Snugglemagne." 

"O-Of course! G-Go ahead!" Snugglemagne nodded. Sweat was falling down his forehead. He was shaking a bit as he spoke.

Night took in a deep breath, coughing a bit before she quickly uttered a few words.

The ex-king blinked in confusion, "Excuse me?"

"I-I said...." Night blushed scarlet. "I-I love you too."

"Y-YOU DO?!" Snugglemagne's eyes widened.

Night just nodded.

The lion had no idea how to feel about this confession, "I-I...."

This time, Night was the one nervous. What will he say? Will he be disappointed that I love him too despite our status as enemies? Have I destroyed my chances with him-

"I'm so happy!" Snugglemagne suddenly smiled, happy tears leaking from his face.

"H-Huh?" Night stared at the lion in disbelief. D-Did he really just say that?

"I-I really thought you would reject me because of our previous animosity," he  confessed. "B-But now that I know that you feel the same way, I-I'm really happy."

Night was stunned to bits. This lion...

She had thought of him as a coward before....

But now...

She saw him as a brave lion....

One who had a caring heart behind all his selfishness.....

And that....

That made her happy, knowing that she chose the right person....

So, without thinking....

She walked over and kissed him.

Snugglemagne had gone red at first, but he too got used to it.

As the orange sun went down for its slumber, a new love was created.

And to think that they were enemies.

Now, they're lovers.

They're really grateful for that.

Because they know that they've finally found their other half.
