Chapter 23: Bye-Bye Tsums I

Later that night, everyone arrives at the Ramshackle Dorm. Like the night they arrive, the portal where the Tsum arrive have reappeared again.

"There really is a hole in the sky... It's just like the headmage described," Azul says.

"Right on schedule," Tanzanite says.

"And the Tsums go home through there?" Kalim says, and soon feels saddened, "Aw, it's sad to see them leave."

"I know what you mean. We were having fun," Jasper says.

Rook agrees, "I know just how you feel, Roi Doré. Our time with them was precious indeed."

"I couldn't agree more. Every moment I spent with mine was delightfully full of surprises," Jade says.

And Ortho says, "I wish I could've spent longer observing Tsum behavioral patterns."

"Huh..." Deuce replies, "You guys all sound so wistful. Am I the only one who had a super hard time looking after his tsum...?"

Lilia giggles, "Khee hee hee, I had quite a bit of fun myself, but I can see it was no picnic for you, Deuce."

Soon, Crowley arrives, "Good evening, everyone. Splendid, you're all present. It's so nice when everyone arrives exactly on schedule! Now, we'll be sending the Tsums home shortly. Take this opportunity to say your farewells."

Kalim says to his Tsum, "You're really leaving, huh, Tsum? I had a whole, WHOOOLE lot of fun with you!" And soon begins to tear up, "Knowing this is goodbye makes me wanna cry, but I've gotta see you off with a smile. Thanks for coming, Tsum! I'm glad we got to meet. Be happy, wherever you go!"

Kalim Tsum agrees.

"Partings are never pleasant, but there's no sense being all gloomy about it. Let's keep this as cheerful as we can," Lilia says, "Tsum, I have to hand it to you—you were good at surprising people. I quite enjoyed our day together. Take care!"

The Lilia Tsum hops up and down, excited.

Then Jade says to his Tsum, "It wasn't all roses with you, but I enjoyed spending time with a fellow plant-lover. You'd be welcome to come visit again. There's so much in the garden I could show you."

Jade Tsum jumps in agreement.

"Ahh... Would that I could have shown you even more of our school's beauty? partings come all too soon," Rook says, "All the more reason for me to etch every beautiful moment we shared into my memory. Thank you for spending today with me!"

Rook Tsum jumps eagerly.

The Deuce Tsum begins moving around like crazy as Deuce tries to hold it down.

Deuce says, "Cut it out, Tsum! Quit getting underfoot! Sheesh, you're a troublemaker to the very end. It's good you're so active, but... You really gotta do something about the way you let things set you off. Otherwise you just make trouble for everyone!

Deuce Tsum bounces in excitement.

Ortho then asks his Tsum, "Are you sure you wouldn't rather stick around and let me observe you a little longer? " The Tsum shakes his head in response. Ortho then says, "...Yeah, I guess not. It was fun playing with you and Idia today, though. I'll never forget our flight together, and I hope you won't either!"

Ortho Tsum hops.

"We could have made fantastic business associates, friendly rivalry and all. It is a pity you have to leave too soon," Azul says, "Feel free to visit again if you feel so inclined. I'd love to play more board games with you. Oh, and if you do come back, I'd appreciate it if you bought a souvenir or two. You see, I'm quite curious about what it's like where you're from

Azul Tsum jumps in agreement.

Tanzanite says, "We sure are going to miss you little guy."

"Yeah. We sure had a lot of fun," Jasper says.

Tanzanite pet the Tsum, "We sure are going to miss you."

"Yeah. And we hope to see you again someday," Jasper says.

"And hope you all will get home safe," Tanzanite says.

The Tanzanite and Jasper Tsum jump in agreement

"All right, is everyone done saying goodbye? It's time to send the Tsums home," Crowley says.

"Then I suppose this is our last hurrah," Azul says. Then turns to everyone else, "Is everyone ready?"

"Yeah! Let's give them the best send-off ever!" Kalim says.

Jasper and Tanzanite agree, "YEAH!"

Soon enough, the Tsums begin hopping higher and higher and soon begin to levitate off the ground and towards the bright light in the sky.
