Maiden Fair Hair's little turtles showed up, all in their new forms.

"Aren't you all so cute!" said Maiden Fair Hair.

And then Lady Lovely Locks little fish came.

"Aw!  They sparkle!" said Lady Lovely Locks with a bittersweet smile.

"What's the matter, Lady?" asked Silkie Pup.

"Everyone has a wedding ring but me," she said sadly.  "Does that mean the Dreamer has forgotten him?"

"Did you worry about me, my Lady?" asked Prince Strong Heart.  "I could never stay away from you.  He embraced her in his arms, in his new form.

Then he bent down on one knee.

"Will you be mine?"

"Always."

"Where are your mice, Prince Strong Heart?'

And so they appeared.

"The dreamer is thinking about turning me into a werewolf.  Our offspring will have the option of being born or not."

"I will most definitely be a werewolf, then," said Silkie Pup.

"I believe the mice will be as well," said Prince Strong Heart.

"Isn't it exciting?" said Lady Lovely Locks.  "We are all together now.  The Dreamer has grown up, but inside her head, our memories remain."

"And more adventures for all of us awaits," said Prince Strong Heart.

"To new stories for us all," said Duchess.

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

Author's note:  Well everyone, this is the last of the books.  (Finally!)  All of the clothing and accessories, and even some of the toy images, were found from Etsy.com, a place for homemade crafts and vintage toys.  It felt good to advertise for individuals instead of major companies.  But on a personal note, I hope this gives you some new ideas of your own.  What were your favorite things as a child?  What do you wish you could turn back time and revisit?  When we write a story, we can pick up a memory just as surely as we can pick up an old toy, and the canvas can then paint a picture for the plots in our mind.  Go ahead and put your own twist on them.  Ask questions like "I wonder what it would be like if they were people?" or something else.  Go ahead and surf the net, and dress them up in your head the way you used to dress up your dolls.  Change a little something to give them your own personal twist, and yet it still feels that the essence of what you loved about them remains.  Even grown, we can revisit anytime we write.
