Peggy and Eliza held one another as they cried softly. It was official. They were trapped in these forms forever, they would never get to be with their loved ones back in the village.

Washington walked over to a mournful Lafayette and placed a stubby hand on him. His eyes widened in shock and he flinched away when Lafayette was suddenly encased in a golden light.

"Lafayette!" Philip cried.

"Philip, wait!" Eliza shouted and she screamed when her son was encased in light.

"What's going on?" Peggy said fearfully, ruffling her feathers and panicking when she saw the light surrounding them.

"Eliza!"

"Peggy!" Eliza shrieked when she was suddenly lifted into the air. She was blinded by golden light and squeezed her eyes shut. The light faded away, and she cautiously opened her eyes.

She gasped at the sight before her and tears started to fall from her eyes.

Philip opened his eyes and blinked, confused when he realized that everything was suddenly smaller. "W-What the-" He gasped and looked down, shocked to see human hands and legs staring back.

"Ma!" He shouted with excitement. "Ma look!"

Eliza let out a sob and rushed to her son, embracing him in her new arms.

Lafayette meanwhile, was so happy to be back in his human form that he rushed to Washington and flung himself at him, planting kisses all along his now human face. Washington spluttered and blushed, but accepted the kisses gladly. Once Lafayette realized what he'd done, he jumped away, a furious blush on his face.

"I-I did not m-mean to-" His next words were muffled when Washington grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a kiss.

"I've wanted to do that for awhile." He whispered, grinning at the embarrassed Frenchman.

Lafayette grinned back, though the horrible flush was still present. Trying to bury his embarrassment, he kissed Washington again.

Meanwhile, all the villagers were just staring in silent shock as the household objects that had been attacking them turned into people.

Everyone was silent as the now human objects sobbed into each other.

The silence was broken by a cry.

"Eliza! Peggy!"

Both women turned and their eyes widened when they saw another woman running to them with tears streaming down her face.

"Angelica!" Eliza cried back, hugging her sister tightly. Peggy joined in quickly, sobbing as she was held by her elder sister.

The sight of the three sisters embracing each other snapped the rest of the villagers out of their shock and they all rushed to the now human servants.

Meanwhile, Aaron clung to Alexander like a leech, refusing to let the now human Prince go.

"Aaron," he said soothingly, running his hand through his lover's short curls. "We cannot stay here forever. I'm sure the servants are confused and awaiting us."

"Let them wait." Aaron murmured, happy in the warm arms of his lover. "I nearly lost you, Alexander." He looked up and gently stroked Alexander's cheek. "I am... scared to go downstairs. What if the villagers are still hostile? They could hurt you. I can't risk losing you again."

Alexander kissed him softly, trying to convey reassurance. "It will be alright." He said quietly. "I am certain they aren't hostiles anymore."

Aaron still looked doubtful and he gnawed his lip gently.

"The servants might need our help." Alexander reminded him and that got Aaron to finally move out of Alexander's embrace.

"Alright. Just... please be careful." Aaron said, helping Alexander stand. "Be ready for a fight."

Alexander smiled softly and kissed his cheek. "You as well."

Aaron grabbed his hand and Alexander led him down the steps of the tower, heading for the foyer of the castle. Alexander smiled when he realized that the magic from the enchantress was truly gone. A part of the curse also had sped up time for the castle itself, causing it to degrade and collapse much sooner than it should've. Now, with the curse broken, the castle was being restored to its former glory.

The look of awe on Aaron's face as he took it all in, was extremely adorable and Alexander couldn't stop the wide smile from spreading on his face. He squeezed Aaron's hand and Aaron squeezed back.

When they reached the foyer, they were startled but relieved to see that all the villagers were seemingly calm, though they all looked terribly confused.

"Alexandre!"

Alexander's face broke into a grin when he saw a tall man with a tight bun atop his head walk over to him.

"Lafayette!" He said, pulling the Frenchman into a hug. "It's so good to see your face again."

"As for you." Lafayette said, patting his cheek.

Aaron meanwhile, was staring at Lafayette with wide eyes. "Wow." He muttered.

Lafayette grinned at him. "Like what you see mon cher?" He purred.

Aaron's face immediately flushed and he clutching Alexander's arm. "Sorry," he said, sounding more confident despite his red cheeks. "I've only got eyes for Alexander."

Lafayette chuckled and nodded before letting out a small shriek when strong arms wrapped around his waist.

"Monsieur Washington!" He said, face flushing when Washington placed a soft kiss on his neck.

Aaron smiled softly while Alexander barked out a laugh.

"It's about time." He said with a teasing grin. "You two have been hung up on each other even before the enchantress."

Aaron giggled at the sight of their bright red faces. 

While Alexander began to talk with the new couple, Aaron looked around. He felt his heart warm when he saw the once cursed servants reunite with their loved ones from the villagers. He saw a group of woman and a young boy, all hugging each other and crying. He blinked when he recognized two of the women, Angelica and Theodosia. When he caught the names 'Eliza' and 'Peggy', he instantly knew who the little boy and other two ladies were. He hadn't a clue that Angelica had sisters, but he was glad they were all reunited at last.

"Hercules!"

There was a loud cry and everyone turned to see a man covered with freckles tackled a larger man with a colorful bandanna. Aaron grinned when they exchanged a passionate kiss, his mind remembering one of the very first conversations he'd had with Eliza. The freckled man must be his deeply missed lover.

He startled when Alexander slipped his hand into his. "That's Hercules' lover, John Laurens." He murmured.

"The one the footstool was named after?" Aaron murmured back.

Alexander kissed his forehead. "Well, he should be back to a dog now, but yes."

"Aaron! Oh, thank god you're alright."

Aaron grunted and stumbled back a bit when his sister slammed into him, hugging him tightly.

"S-Sally...." he stammered, hugging her back just as tightly.

"I got here as fast as I could." She said, cradling his face, eyes scanning. "You're not hurt, right?"

"I'm fine Sally." He said, gently holding her wrist. "I'm better than fine."

"Where's Alexander?" She asked. Aaron beamed at her before grabbing Alexander's hand and tugging him over.

"Here he is." He said, tilting his head slightly to peck Alexander's cheek.

Sally gaped. "P-Prince Alexander!" She stammered.

Alexander's face flushed. "Please don't call me that Miss Sally. I uh, I'd also like to apologize for my previous behavior. I was... I was very bitter about my situation and took it out on you. I sincerely apologize." Then he bowed and Sally's eyes widened.

"I, n-no, it's alright..." she stuttered. Her eyes softened. "I understand and I accepted your apology. We can move passed it."

Alexander straightened and sent Sally a grateful smile.

"Alexander," Washington said. "We should celebrate! Our curse is broken at last and we have been reunited with our loved ones once more."

"Yes, that calls for a party, yes?" Lafayette chimed in.

"I'll get the wine!" Peggy yelled, a grin on her face as she whirled away to the kitchen.

Alexander let out a merry laugh while Sally giggled. As soon as Peggy's words were heard, all the servants burst into action and soon, the entire foyer was fit for a massive party. Alexander grabbed Aaron's hand and led him onto the dance floor.

"Alexander!" Aaron squeaked when his lover grabbed his hand, snuck an arm around his waist and tugged him close.

"Don't you want to dance?" Alexander asked, warm breath fanning over Aaron's face. Aaron was a bit flustered before he recovered quickly and pressed even closer.

"Of course darling." He murmured, already swaying to the beat of the music. "Do you?"

Alexander's responding grin was sharp and he immediately started to dance, eventually pulling Aaron into a spin.

They danced long into the night, paying no mind to others, solely focused on each other. They didn't even notice the small, knowing smiles on the faces of those around them. They were too caught up in themselves.

Just after midnight, Aaron and Alexander snuck away to have time alone. Alexander had just gotten his human form back and Aaron still wasn't quite over how close Alexander had been to death.

They needed a break.

They ended up in Alexander room, laying on the bed, cuddled with each other. Aaron was stroking a hand through Alexander's long hair, marveling how soft it was.

"I love you Aaron." Alexander whispered, placing a gentle kiss on Aaron's wrist.

"I love you too." Aaron whispered back.

"I'm like, madly in love with you." Alexander said, almost sounding awe.

Aaron laughed gently, leaning forward slightly and kissing Alexander's forehead.

"I would hope so, considering the feeling is mutual." Alexander stared at Aaron adoringly and Aaron couldn't get enough of his eyes. If there was one thing that was exactly the same about Alexander, it was his lovely eyes.

"I read this fairy tale once," Aaron began, resuming his stroking of Alexander's hair. "It was about a disguised prince falls in love with a lowly commoner. And they run away together to live happily ever after together."

Alexander kissed Aaron slowly, passionately. When he pulled away, Aaron felt dazed. His mind was fuzzy, full of endorphins.

"Sounds like a fascinating read." Alexander said. "You'll have to introduce it to me."

"I will." Aaron said. "I'll read it to you."

"That sounds lovely. I really can't wait." Alexander said before pulling Aaron into a loving and gentle kiss.
