Rayman Legends Adventures in The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2/Script

It seemed to be a lovely day for everyone. Lex stared out the window from her bedroom as she saw that even the animals seemed to be in love. She simply sighed before she closed her curtains before there came a knocking at her door. "Come in," Lex sighed.

"Clean the laundry, darling," Cynthia grinned to her daughter as she brought in her laundry basket.

"Thanks, Mum," Lex said softly.

Once Cynthia saw the expression on her daughter's face, she could already warn what was on her mind. Lex took the clothes, but looked out the window.

"Spring..." Cynthia sighed silently, "love is in the air."

"Yes, I can warn..." Lex replied.

"Oh, darling, it's alright..." Cynthia consoled.

"Jesse has Riley.....Tim has Jenny....what do I get," Lex sulked.

"Don't worry, your true love will come one day," Cynthia said.

"I hope it'll be soon," Lex said.

"You can't rush facts, it'll yet be fine....." Cynthia consoled and kissed her forehead.

Lex just sighed softly as she put her clothes away where they were supposed to go.

"Oh, boyfriend, who are you, where are you," she asked as she looked out her window, "my heart aches to meet you where I can become a princess of my own fairy tale with you as my prince where we can live happily ever after."

Cynthia simply sighed before she had an idea where Lex might find true love.

"I think we need vacation..." Jesse said as he stared at the ceiling in his own room, "we never go nowhere."

"Oh, you poor spoiled, pampered adventurer," Cynthia teased her younger son.

"Alright, then we have, but we've never had a vacation," Jesse said.

"Don't worry, I'll speak to your dad," Cynthia smiled.

"Huh..." Jesse grinned back to that.

Soon Cynthia came to her husband with clean laundry. "Hey, darling, where it would be alright if the entire family went on vacation," she asked him.

"It's been a while since we've been out..." Martin replied, "uh...the children as well or just us?"

"The children as well," Cynthia grinned.

"Huh..." Martin grinned back, "I could use a break."

"And I think I know the exact location," Cynthia said.

"Oh," Martin grinned to her.

"Yes," Cynthia said before whispering her idea for their vacation.

"Aw, that sounds good," Martin replied, "it's been a while since we've been there."

"That's why I thought it'd be perfect, and the children could experience it," Cynthia grinned.

"Yes," Martin nodded.

"Do I have to put everything in place," Cynthia beamed.

"Well, if you really want....." Martin grinned.

Then Cynthia ran faster than Pinkie Pie on a sugar rush to get them ready.

"Yes, she really does," Martin said.

Later on, Jesse, Lex and Tim were being brought down and warned about their family vacation and where they were emotional.

"Where are we going," Lex asked, not as mopey as she was earlier.

"As soon as possible," Martin chuckled, "your mother's getting everything ready and almost done."

"Woah," Jesse said.

"You know how your mother is," Martin replied.

"Yes..." Tim muttered, "I yet don't know who's faster at cleaning and cooking, her or Grandma Elizabeth."

"I think these two would be even in this case," Martin said.

The children couldn't help but chuckle to what he said. At last, they were all set to go, and soon they grinned together as they were going on a family vacation to a different place...known as Notre Dame. They would also get there before the Festival of Love would begin.

Teresa seemed to be there with Annie and Chip who wanted to come along as she came to see what was going on.

"Teresa, you're here as well," Martin asked.

"I wanted to see what was going on, and these two existed on coming," Teresa replied.

"Well, we're all going on a family vacation," Lex grinned.

"Looks like fun..." Annie grinned back.

"Now we'll see if we can find Quasimodo, Esmeralda or Phoebus," Forte asked.

"Sounds doable...." Teresa replied, "I'm sure they're nearby."

The people were in a joyful and thrilled mood on a special day like today.

"Woah," Lex said.

"There's music in the marketplace, the streets have come alive, the town is in a tizzy~," a familiar voice sang, but everyone looked around to find who it was, but couldn't at first, "it's a busy, buzzing beehive, there's cause for this confusion and emotional display, we just can't wait to celebrate our favorite holiday~"

"I thought the Festival of Fools was your favorite holiday, not an imitation of Valentine's Day," Teresa muttered.

The family began to look around before they found the source as it was Clopin.

"The Day of Love, your song is in the air~" Clopin sang.

"Guh..." Teresa muttered in the background like she looked like she was going to be sick.

"What magic will you make for us~" Clopin sang as he held a basket of golden flowers before Quasimodo joined him, "what promise will you share? That golden bell, Sweet Royalty, will soon be ringing all clear, the best of all the festivals, the Day of Love is here~"

"Oh, how the stars will sparkle on the water~" Quasimodo sang as he passed out yellow roses, "as the pompadours sing tales of true romance~"

Forte took a flower to Teresa and touched it to make it sick and dying.

"Aww~..." Teresa actually sounded touched and accepted the flower.

Forte grinned as he knew that would have her feeling touched.

"Oh, how the stars will sparkle on the water, as the troubadours sing tales of true romance~" Quasimodo sang as he passed out yellow roses to the happy people.

Even the gargoyles were mostly in a good mood.

"The spirits may rise with fire in their eyes~" Victor and Hugo sang.

"While gypsy girls enchant you with a dance~" Laverne sang.

Soon Lex got interested in the music and started to dance. Martin and Cynthia grinned happily for their daughter. Esmeralda grinned down to Lex as she danced behind her with her tambourine and her goat and a young boy seemed to join along.

"The Day of Love, your song is in the air, what magic will you make for us, what magic will you share~" the people sang all together joyfully, "that golden bell, Sweet Royalty, will soon be ringing clear, the best of all the festivals, the Day of Love is heeeeeeerrre!!!"

Lex was happy that she seemed to forget all about wondering until she found find her true love.

"You're a lovely dancer," Esmeralda grinned down to Lex.

"Oh! Um, thank you, ma'am," Lex grinned back and curtsied to the gypsy woman.

Soon Lex went back to her family.

"What a beautiful celebration..." Cynthia grinned as she took some of the yellow roses.

Soon Chip took one rose and held it out to Annie, which made her blush.

Soon Esmeralda saw Martin, Cynthia, Teresa and Forte. "Oh, my heavens..." she said softly.

"Hello, Esmeralda," Teresa said.

"It sure has been a long time," Cynthia said.

"It certainly has.....many changes....although more often than you think..." Esmeralda grinned, though looked over to a young boy with golden blonde hair and emerald green eyes that almost matched her eyes and Phoebus's hair.

"I assume this handsome young kid is yours and Phoebus's son," Martin asked Esmeralda.

"Yes," Esmeralda grinned, "this is Zephyr."

"Why doesn't that name surprise me," Teresa whispered jokingly.

Lex seemed to blush once she saw Zephyr.

"Martin, how have you been," Phoebus asked.

"Pretty good, thanks," Martin grinned back before once he was caught in a headlock playfully by Phoebus.

Jesse chuckled to that himself as he explored.

"I guess you remember the old days," Martin laughed.

"Of course," Phoebus smirked.

"Oh, what have we got in here," Esmeralda asked.

"These are our kids," Teresa said, "Annie is mine, that's her best friend, Chip, and of course, you have Martin and Cynthia's kids: Jesse, Lex and Tim."

"Well done, mate," Phoebus chuckled to Martin about his three children.

"Pleased to meet you both, sir," Tim grinned at Phoebus.

"You all so look much like your parents," Phoebus grinned back, "especially you, Tim."

"Yes, I get mistaken for Dad sometimes," Tim chuckled at the comparison, though he had Cynthia's green eyes.

Soon Esmeralda saw how shy Lex was around Zephyr.

"Hi," Zephyr grinned to the brunette girl.

"Oh, uh, hello..." Lex grinned back, sheepishly.

'Oh! Lex has her first crush,' Cynthia thought to herself.

"Would you like to come to the cathedral," Phoebus offered, "are we about to see Quasimodo?"

"We'd love to," Cynthia grinned.

"This way, children," Phoebus said.

The children eagerly followed the adults into Notre Dame where Quasimodo was, but of course, also Victor, Hugo and Laverne, the gargoyles.

"It looks beautiful here......" Annie grinned at the landscape.

"I sure do," Lex grinned.

"Well, Quasimodo lives here," Jesse asked.

"All his life, yes," Cynthia warned him, "he used to be raised by a cold and ruthless man, Judge Claude Frollo. He was even forbidden to leave, but luckily, we were able to help turn facts around."

"And luckily, you children will never have to meet that horrible judge," Martin said.

"Sounds like a nightmare," Chip had to agree based on what he heard.

"Toro! Toro," Zephyr called out, pretending to be a bull.

The rest of the children watched to see what just happened next.

"Toro! Toro," Quasimodo grinned as he brought out his rag like a cape.

Zephyr yelled out while charging towards Quasimodo before laughing as he pulled the rag out of the road and he came onto the older man's back. Djali even laughed as that looked like fun, but then he yelped as Hugo pulled on his tail before turning back to stone. Lex shook her head as she couldn't believe what she saw in front of him. Djali took a closer look at Hugo. Soon Hugo came back alive to kiss the goat on his mouth, much to his horror.

"Did that just happen," Lex asked as she rubbed her eyes and looked to Hugo as he became insentient again.

"Zephyr, you have to slow down," Esmeralda said as soon as she came up the ladder.

"All...right...Mum..." Zephyr slowly said and waved to her while riding on the camel's back.

"Listen to your mother, young man," Phoebus said.

"Yes, Dad," Zephyr chuckled.

Soon Martin, Cynthia, Teresa and Forte showed themselves.

"Man, it seems like it's been a long time since we were last here..." Lex said, "not much has changed though.....I like it."

"You all look so great....." Quasimodo said to Teresa, Martin and Cynthia.

"Well, it's been years since we've been to Paris," Cynthia said.

"Couldn't have been that long, could it," Quasimodo asked.

"It has..." Teresa replied.

Soon Esmeralda looked to the grand bell in the tower. "Look at her. Robin Hood, you are magnificent."

"She certainly looks magnificent," Lex grinned before going under the bell.

"Are you going to call my mum once, Quasimodo," Zephyr asked the hunchback.

"I bet he is, and your mother's going to be in the square, shrieking stronger at night 'I love my husband Phoebus'," Phoebus grinned.

"Oh, really? And what makes you think I'm going to shriek so loud," Esmeralda smirked playfully.

"You'll have to, where they can hear you yelling 'I love Esmeralda'," Phoebus smirked back.

Soon the two of them kissed, which disgusted Zephyr. "Yuck," the young boy said.

"Yes...yuck," Quasimodo added, though he grinned to Phoebus and Esmeralda's kiss and put Zephyr down on the floor with the other children.

The children began to wonder who Quasimodo would announce who he loved.

"Who are you going to yell at tomorrow, Quasi," Zephyr asked his best friend.

"No one, I guess," Quasimodo frowned.

"But then, who's going to call out your name," Lex frowned back.

"I don't think anyone will, boys," Quasimodo frowned as he looked into the bell's reflection and saw his own face.

"Well, why not," Chip asked.

Quasimodo didn't say anything, but just sulked. Soon Esmeralda came over to him to speak to him. Quasimodo looked to her and back, though a little mopey.

"Quasi. It takes more than looking to truly see," Esmeralda advised, "someday you'll be ready.  And if you are, you'll find her."

"Someday. Nah," Quasimodo sighed, "what could possibly change?"

"Um, how about we introduce our children," Cynthia asked, willing to change the subject.

There was suddenly a fanfare heard.

"What the hell," Teresa winced.

"Oh, boy, wow," Zephyr beamed as he looked down below, "it's the circus!"

"Ooh," Lex grinned.

A man walking on stilts tipped his hat to a giraffe. Two people jumped together and came on the back of the giraffe as an elephant joined behind them.

"Come, my friends," Clopin said, "as part of the Festival of Love, a circus has come to Paris!"

The children began to make their road to the parade announcing the circus.

"We'd better get going before we get left behind," Forte suggested with a chuckle.

"Might as well..." Teresa replied with a small shrug.

The parents started to follow their children. They came to see what all of the fuss was about and a man appeared in thin air before the children.

"C'mon, everyone, come to Sarousch's Circus," the man grinned to the children as he juggled balls, made fire appear from his hands and pulled a rabbit out of a hat. "See clowns juggling, fire throwers and magic," he tossed the hat to a lucky boy who soon kept it. "And now, let me present to you the prettiest ornament in the middle of the road; my assistant, Mad-" he opened a new box, only to see that it was empty.

The children looked interested and couldn't wait to meet his assistant.

"Well, my assistant, Made-" the man tried again, but no one would come out.

"It's empty," a girl complained.

"There's no one there," a boy added.

"Well...well, of course not," the man grinned hesitantly. "You have to come to the circus to see her," he dropped a smoke bomb and disappeared into thin air.

Soon Lex's shoes glowed pink, showing that they were her magic ballet shoes and where they transported her to somewhere in Paris.

"He's a scum," Annie complained.

"She's right, this is a scam," Teresa agreed.

"Where is Madellaine," the man in charge complained to a smaller man, who looked afraid of his frustration.

Meanwhile, at the sight where the circus would be...

The circus was getting set up as everyone explored. Jesse looked around until he yelped at first and frowned as he saw a lion cub, but then looked soft. The lion cub looked to him and grinned. Soon Lex appeared next to a tent. There was a clown there who was looking around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please direct your attention high up while the magnificent Madellaine is performing her daring high-wire act without a net," a blonde woman in a green dress spoke to herself as she stood on top of a rope not too far above the ground with a pink umbrella, she almost fell, but caught herself, "and the audience is going wild!"

Lex decided to sneak a peek at what the blonde woman was doing.

"There comes a silence over the crowd as Madellaine begins her graceful walk," the woman warned herself before she was about to fall again and panicked as she rushed to the tent pole and caught a hold of it until her heart raced and she breathed in relief to see that she hadn't fallen, "Madellaine catches her breath and is almost plunged to death. And the audience bursts into applause!  While shouting for more!  Encore!  Thank you.  You're too kind."

Lex started to applaud her. Suddenly, a shadow came behind her, which alarmed her a little.

"Where were you, my little trinket," the man from before asked the blonde woman.

'His little trinket,' Lex thought to herself.

"Oh, well, I-I-I was, uh...I-I stood," the blonde woman stammered, "well, of course I stood. I mean, I haven't always sat.  It would probably be foolish.  I'm sorry.  I-I-I just want to contribute more to the circus."

"Your job is to stand there and look beautiful," the man warned her before looking to Lex, "and who's that little child?"

"I-I'm sorry, sir, my name is Lex and I must be lost from my family," Lex said.

"You mustn't transgress....." the man scolded her.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't mean to be..." Lex frowned, "I was just curious and emotional."

"Please don't get mad at her......" the blonde woman frowned.

"Well, what have you done," the man looked to scoff to Lex.

"I can dance," Lex said, "and I have some creatures I can take out."

The man looked at her, a little unimpressed at first.

"Take care of me," Lex said, "let me show you."

"Well, fine, do what you have to," the man allowed.

Soon Lex stood on the tip of her toes and started to dance while she brought out her three Pokemon. The man looked disturbed by the creatures.

"Oh, how sweet," the blonde woman grinned to the Pokemon.

Teddy and the Ralts twins looked confused at what was going on, but just decided to show their abilities/attacks without hurting anyone. The blonde woman grinned while the man looked annoyed at first, but he seemed to enjoy Lex's dancing as it was rather interesting for someone her young age. Soon Lex finished and curtsied as she completed the dance.

"Well, that was pretty amazing," the man had to admit.

"Thank you, sir," Lex grinned.

"If you'll excuse us, I have to Madellaine alone," the man said.

"Oh, um, sure..." Lex replied, "c'mon, guys."

The Pokemon nodded and followed her until they ran into a clown girl.

"I'm sorry, have you seen a lion cub," the clown girl asked Lex.

"No, why," Lex replied.

"I just hope he's not lost......" the clown girl concluded, "Mr. Sarousch hates it until he gets in danger."

"Where was the last place you saw him," Lex asked.

"He was in our tent before, we ate a fast breakfast before we had to leave, and he only walked away if we started to line up..." the clown girl said. "He wouldn't run away without saying something, he's my best friend," she got her response where he was until she saw the lion cub playing with Jesse.

"Not bad, you're pretty good," Jesse grinned.

"Thanks," the lion cub grinned back.

"Goliath," the clown girl beamed.

"Jojo," the lion cub beamed back.

Soon the two ran together and shared a hug.

"Don't frighten me like that again," Jojo frowned.

"I'm sorry, Jojo, I just wanted to get to know the area," Goliath warned her.

Jojo grinned as she hugged her lion cub.

"Aw! He's so cute," Lex grinned.

"Thank you," Jojo grinned back, "I've known him for a long time."

"Hi, darling, who's your friend," Jesse asked.

"My name's Jojo Tickle," Jojo grinned. "My family and I are clowns here, but...I miss our old town a little..." she pouted, "my father signed a contact from Mr. Sarousch and we've been with him for a while now."

"Is he a bad person," Lex asked.

"He can be a little mean..." Jojo frowned, "Dad says not to worry about it, but...he doesn't seem very nice to me. I just miss our old home and my friends."

Goliath began to nuzzle Jojo as his fashion of consoling her.

"Aw, thanks, Goliath," Jojo grinned to her best friend.

Goliath grinned back up to Jojo.

"Lex, there you are," Jesse said, a little panicked since she was his little girl, "you shouldn't go too far."

"I'm sorry, Dad," Lex warned him, "but I think my magic shoes transported me to Madellaine for a reason."

"Your shoes," Martin asked, confused for a second until he remembered, "oh, the shoes you've had from Barbie!"

"Yes...I guess I needed to meet Madellaine..." Lex replied. Then she remembered about Quasimodo's situation and soon gasped out of realization.

Soon the bells rang from Notre Dame.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I have to go now, see you later," Jojo promised as she left with Goliath.

Soon Lex saw Madellaine going to the church and decided to go with her to make sure she met Quasimodo.

"Lex, don't run away," Martin called out, "don't run!"

Cynthia hid a small smirk to her husband.

"Can you believe she just wandered away with her curiosity," Martin frowned, though he was just like that at that age, "say, I already know where she's getting it from."

Cynthia just chuckled to her husband.

Madellaine looked around as she came into the church until she heard the ringing bells and soon came to the tower to meet the hunchback. Lex kept on following her as they went up to the bell floor.

"Uh, hello," Madellaine called out as she came inside.

"Damsel alarm~" Hugo grinned.

"And a nice vision of that," Victor added.

"What am I, chopped liver," Laverne complained.

"I-I'm looking for the bell ringer," Madellaine called out as she made her road inside.

"She wants you, big guy," Hugo grinned to Quasimodo.

Soon Quasimodo hid himself, which made the gargoyles come to go see him.

"Is anybody here," Madellaine asked as she came up to the ladder.

Lex began to look around with her magic for Quasimodo before finding him hiding. The gargoyles were all latched onto Quasimodo to bring him out to meet the woman.

"Get out there, darling," Laverne urged.

"I-I-I can't," Quasimodo stammered, "what do I say?"

"Open your mouth," Victor advised, "something will come out."

"I-I-I..." Quasimodo stammered again.

"Nothing came out," Hugo muttered.

'He's hesitant about meeting Madellaine,' Lex thought to herself.

"My name is Madellaine, I-I'm in the circus, and oh, I just love bells," Madellaine grinned as she uncovered the table and incidentally dropped the figures, but swiftly picked them up, "what's loyalty?"

"The bells, you ding-dong. She likes the bells," Hugo pushed Quasimodo out with Victor and Laverne, "speaking shop."

Soon Quasimodo was out, but then he went to hide since he was so hesitant.

"Are you hiding from me," Madellaine asked before chuckling as she saw him trying to hide under a bell that looked like a hat too big for him.

"No...what's so funny," Quasimodo replied.

"Nothing. It's just...it looks like you're wearing a really big hat," Madellaine chuckled until she realized how that sounded out loud, "oh.  This...that sounds silly, right?"

Lex began to wait for Quasimodo's response.

"No, I've just never looked at this that fashion before," Quasimodo replied.

"Yes, it's a...it's a beret of brass," Madellaine grinned as they shared a laugh together, "a 2-ton top."

"A-A hat in H-sharp," Quasimodo added.

The two of them began to laugh together and where this made Lex and the gargoyles happy.

Madellaine laughed, but then gasped as she saw the gargoyles, but they turned back to stone before she could notice that they were alive. "The gargoyles!"

"Gargoyles..." Quasimodo muttered slightly.

"Well, they were...they were alive," Madellaine warned him even if she couldn't see him, "but that's foolish, isn't it?"

"No," Quasimodo grinned.

'They're meant to be,' Lex thought to herself.

Soon Madellaine began to walk off and then Quasimodo came out of hiding. "You must think I'm foolish," the woman sighed insecurely.

"Not at all," Quasimodo supported, though kept hiding, "this just means you have a fantasy."

"Do you really think so?"

"I do."

Quasimodo got down lower, only staying in the shadows.

"What's your name," Madellaine asked.

"Quasimodo," the hunchback replied.

"Well, Quasimodo, don't you want to come where I can see you," Madellaine asked.

Quasimodo simply backed deeper into the shadows.

"Oh, he's so shy," Lex whispered to herself.

Madellaine looked up and found a cloak and decided to move it from the rafter, letting the sunshine go down on Quasimodo, which made him hide even more, but his face was shown, which seemed to terrify the blonde woman. "I h-h-have to go. I'm sorry," she said, shakily before running out of the bell tower.

"Madellaine, please, wait," Lex called out.

Quasimodo frowned as he felt like he blew his chance to win Madellaine as she ran, even with Lex's call.

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Quasimodo," Lex frowned to the hunchback.

Quasimodo began to start making a new wooden figure.

"Oh, poor boy..." Laverne frowned as she came towards Quasimodo while Hugo and Victor stayed behind. "Are you alright," she asked, almost maternally.

"No...you saw how she looked at me," Quasimodo frowned back.

"Well, try to get her to look again," Laverne said.

Quasimodo looked to her before giving a small grin. "Do you believe in miracles?"

"Miracles," Laverne replied, "how about some miracles?"

"Oh, you know, just ordinary miracles," Quasimodo said as he looked at the Madellaine figurine he made.

"I'm not following you, boy," Laverne said.

"He means like the kind of miracles that happen everyday," Lex said as she came over.

"Yes...exactly," Quasimodo agreed with the young girl.

"I know how you feel, Quasimodo, I mean I have friends and a family who love me, but I don't have anyone who loves me for me," Lex sighed.

"You're too young to worry about such a fact," Laverne warned Lex.

Lex simply sighed.

"We're probably in the same boat," Quasimodo warned Lex as he looked at the figure he made of himself, "I'm just wondering if there might be someone who could love me."

Lex nodded as Quasimodo looked distant.

"Imagine someone to love who loves you, imagine to look in her eyes and see, imagine how miraculous it seems to be~" Quasimodo began to sing as soon as he completed the wooden figure of Madellaine and admired it.

"But it's not so very rare you can find it anywhere~" Lex sang.

Laverne grinned to both of them.

"It's an ordinary miracle, the kind you find around you every single day, or perhaps it's just seasonal~" Quasimodo sang. Soon he put the wooden figure of Madellaine next to his wooden figure of himself before both him and Lex went down to two yellow roses in a jar.

"Like Spring and May, there's so many~" Lex sang as they both took one yellow rose each.

"The ordinary miracle the common kind of miracle that runs right past or maybe it's too gradual to catch your eye so you miss it~" Lex and Quasimodo sang as he gave Laverne his yellow rose.

Laverne grinned and accepted the flower before sniffing it.

"A sudden bolt of distant lightning, cathedrals rising out of stone, a baby starts to walk or speak one day, then shockingly he's grown and in love~" Lex sang as she hung upside down with a grin to a mother bat with her baby bat awakening before looking to see the girl and she carefully came down to be right-side up.

"That volcano of emotion, not 10,000 gypsy potions, can undo, yes, it's love~," Quasimodo sang with her, "well, of course my view is slanted, but people do take love for granted~"

"Mournful, but true~" Lex sang, "of all the many miracles marvelous and big and small, if people fall in love, it really beats them all~"

Laverne grinned to the two.

"Oh, to see it to feel it, to know it, imagine someone to love~" Quasimodo sang as a butterfly came out of its cocoon.

"Who loves you, imagine to look in her eyes and see imagine how extraordinary~" Lex sang as she danced while the butterfly flew past her and the female gargoyle.

"It would be if an ordinary miracle happened to meeeee~" Lex and Quasimodo sang together.

The gargoyles felt very sorry for them. Quasimodo thought about the girl he saw earlier, but just felt down in the dumps.

"Go to the circus," Victor grinned, "make a good impression! What are you wearing to a carnival?"

"Nothing," Quasimodo said while shaking his head.

"Drift," Hugo chuckled, "perhaps a little intrusive for a first date."

"Uh, that's not what he means," Lex blushed a bit bashfully like a certain dwarf.

"Quasi, Lex, you can stay here and hope for a miracle, or you can get out there and do your own miracle," Laverne advised.

Quasimodo and Estelle began to think about what Laverne advised and decided to take it.

"You're right, I'm going to the circus," Quasimodo grinned before frowning, "oh, but what should I wear?"

"I've had the perfect fact, boy," Hugo beamed.

Though the next scene showed Quasimodo in an outfit that was anything but perfect. Everyone looked to him in slight surprise.

"Well, how am I," Quasimodo grinned.

"Like a Montague," Teresa whispered jokingly.

The others didn't know what to say though.

"Uh, too many," Quasimodo asked the others as he took off his hat.

"No, no. I mean..." Esmeralda stammered.

"Of course not," Phoebus added.

"Wow! Great hat, Quasi," Zephyr added.

"I-If our friend Rarity was here, she'd say you look magnificent," Cynthia grinned hesitantly.

"Um, yes," Martin swiftly advised, "very bold...as she would also say."

"Cynthia..." Forte nudged his wife.

"What? Oh, um..." Teresa said before shrugging, "I yet think he looks like he's straight out of a Shakespearean play."

"You look great," Jesse said to Quasimodo.

Soon Djali ate the feather from Quasimodo's hat. Annie and Chip shook their heads to that as they walked down the streets.

"Welcome, welcome to the Circus of Sarousch," a man's voice announced, "magic! Magic!  Tricks you can't even dream of!"

'I doubt that,' Teresa thought to herself.

"WoooooOOOOW," Zephyr grinned as he looked around in wide wonder. "Wow," he ran away one fashion in emotion.

"Zephyr, stay close, I don't want to lose you," Phoebus warned his son before muttering under his breath, "I don't trust these people."

"You're not the only one," Martin said.

"What does that mean," Esmeralda frowned as she looked serious.

"Well, just look at them," Phoebus replied, "I mean, they travel from town to town like..."

"Gypsies," Esmeralda frowned.

"Yes," Phoebus replied, but realized how serious that sounded and stammered, "no! I mean...I mean...uh..."

'This is getting weird,' Cynthia thought to herself.

"Uh, uh, well, Quasi, um...where's that Madellaine of yours," Martin grinned hesitantly.

"I don't know, but I-I'm sure she'll be out soon," Quasimodo replied before he saw a poster of Madellaine with her boss.

Lex started to wonder away on her own.

"Where are you going to put the bare minimum on that girl," Teresa teased Martin and Cynthia as Lex wandered away on her own.

"Oi," Martin moaned.

"You don't understand. You haven't seen him," Madellaine warned Sarousch as Lex peeked from behind the cart to look in through the window as the two were speaking, "I don't want to be a part of this anymore."

"You should have thought of that before you stole from me," Sarousch warned her firmly.

Hearing this caused Lex to gasp in shock.

"But I was only six," Madellaine frowned.

"And you were starving, and it was just a few coins," Sarousch replied until he gagged from the tight fitting of a girdle he was now wearing, "oh, you cretin, not so tight!"

Lex started to chuckle hearing that last part.

"I made a mistake," Madellaine frowned.

"Yes, and I turned him over to the authorities," Sarousch asked as he was being made to look presentable for the audience.

"No."

"Or the asylum?"

"No."

"And who took you in? Cared for you like a true friend?"

"You did."

Lex began to feel very sorry for Madellaine.

"Oh, yes," Sarousch smirked, "all you need to do is look pretty for him, and he'll let you know what I need to know."

Madellaine frowned, but she obeyed his every word.

"Mirrors," Sarousch signaled before looking into his reflection, "I could kiss myself, but I'd fall in love."

'I think I'm going to throw up,' Lex thought to herself as she turned away and gagged in disgust of his narcissism.

"C'mon, bauble, we're ready," Sarousch warned Madellaine, tossing her a dress to wear before leaving.

Madellaine frowned to him as she held the dress and looked to her reflection, and where she saw Lex's reflection in one of the mirrors. Then she turned back.

"Oh, um, hello," Lex grinned softly.

"You heard everything, didn't you," Madellaine frowned.

"I'm sorry, Madellaine..." Lex frowned back, "it looks awful."

"Yes, well, living on the streets wasn't easy," Madellaine frowned.

"What about your parents," Lex frowned back.

"I don't have any....." Madellaine sighed mournfully, "I had nowhere to go......I wanted to get some bread the baker had, but...I didn't have any money."

"Oh, my..." Lex frowned.

"Excuse me, I have to go and get ready," Amber warned her, "you'd better go to your own family."

"Alright," Lex said.

Madellaine sighed as she looked in the mirror and left to get dressed while Lex let her have some privacy.

"Mummy, I don't like this Sarousch guy," Teddy said as he came out of his Pokeball, "he's not very nice to Miss Madellaine."

"I know, Teddy, I don't like him either," Lex said.

"Can I fight him," Teddy smirked a little darkly.

"No, no, he'll just act innocent," Lex said.

"Aw..." Teddy pouted.

"Don't worry, I promise he'll get what he deserves, they often do so," Lex consoled, "all we can really do is help Miss Madellaine wherever she needs us."

"Alright," Teddy said.

Lex hugged Teddy. "You're such a good boy," she said with a grin.

"Thanks, Mum," Teddy grinned back to her.

Soon they went back to their family.

"Everything alright now," Cynthia grinned to her daughter.

"A little," Lex said.

"C'mon, guys," Zephyr beamed before taking Lex's hands.

Lex blushed to the hand holding as soon as she walked with him. Soon a bear was shown balancing on a ball and was juggling fire torches. Teddy was impressed with the bear. Another bear came with the first one while Teddy clapped his paws together. More performers rode in before going on the stage as the audience watched in emotion before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Every time I see a smoke bomb, I look forward to seeing Trixie Lulamoon," Teresa muttered.

"Same advantage," Forte said.

Smoke cleared and soon showed Sarousch up onstage. "Boys and girls! That's it!  A treat for your senses," the man grinned before juggling three balls and one-by-one, they vanished before appearing in Zephyr's hands.

"Wow! Yes," Zephyr beamed as he carried the balls.

"This is amazing," Lex said.

The girls swooned from one sign the tiny man held. Teresa looked like she was going to gag.

"May I introduce my assistant; the lovely Madellaine," Sarousch introduced before making the blonde woman appear onstage next to him.

"That's her," Lex whispered to her parents and siblings.

"Ah..." Jesse gave a nod.

"She's pretty," Chip said to Lex.

"She's Quasimodo's true love, I can feel it," Lex warned them.

They could even see Quasimodo look to Madellaine like he was in love with her. Then Phoebus smirked and playfully nudged Quasimodo until he saw the look in the hunchback's eyes as he looked to Madellaine.

"And now, I'm going to surprise you with a feat of magic unparalleled in modern times," Sarousch warned the crowd before helpers came in with an elephant on a concession stand, "behold the Small One!"

"Ooh," the children grinned.

"Looks like Mrs. Jumbo to me," Teresa muttered.

Martin hid a snicker to that as they shared a silent laugh together. Madellaine took the elephant by her trunk and came to bring her onstage while the audience looked emotional.

"I wonder what he's going to do," Lex said.

"Probably an escape act..." Teresa muttered.

"Do not look away from the beast, for I will make it disappear before your very eyes," Sarousch warned the audience, "keep a watchful eye. See the creature disappear into thin air."

"Called it," Teresa smirked, "thank you, Zatanna."

Soon Cynthia felt something was going on while the act was going on. Madellaine posed while Sarousch said his magic words and made the elephant disappear. This, of course, amazed the audience and they were emotional and even threw roses on the stage.

"Yes! Wow!  Wow, wow, wow!  Sarousch is awesome," Zephyr beamed as he was the most emotional. "I'd like to join the circus. Hey, wait, perhaps I could join a circus.  Yes!  I could be a juggler.  What do you think, Quasi?  I'd juggle and I'd-" he noticed that his best friend wasn't listening to him. "Quasi? Uh-uh-uh-uh, Quasi," he decided to wave his hands in front of Quasimodo's eyes, "hullo-o-o-o!"

Soon Quasimodo awakened and picked up the young boy. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing," Zephyr replied before pointing to Madellaine, "you were making goo-goo eyes at your girlfriend."

"It's true," Lex smirked playfully.

"Oh, she...she's not mine...who said she was mine.....that's a..." Quasimodo stammered before smirking to them, "you guys..."

Then they all shared a laugh together and even Djali joined in. Phoebus and Esmeralda grinned to that and decided to go away on their own. Teddy was happy for them.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me," Zephyr said.

"That will never happen," Quasimodo soothed, "I'll always be there for you."

"Always," Zephyr asked.

"Always," Quasimodo promised.

Unknown to them, Madellaine watched from afar.

"You mean if ever, I'm in any kind of great big mess or damage,~" Zephyr grinned to Quasimodo.

"I'd be right there~" Quasimodo grinned back to him, "we'd be a pair~"

"You mean you'll never ever leave me we'll always be a double, we do,~" Zephyr grinned back.

"That's the arithmetic I'd stick with you~" Quasimodo grinned to him as they explored the circus grounds.

Madellaine kept hidden as she watched the two together.

"Just say we're hanging past a rope above an evil witch's brew pot, it's bubbling blue with sticky goo~," Zephyr grinned, "our rope gives room and then we smash and make a splash inside her stew pot of glue~"

"Even if you're sticky slick, I'd stick with you~" Quasimodo grinned to him, which made Madellaine grin.

Lex saw Madellaine and grinned back. Soon Madellaine hid herself once Lex was in her glimpse. Even Teddy grinned to Madellaine. Lex and Teddy looked curious, but soon caught up with the others. Soon Chip took out a rose and held it out to Annie. Annie blushed as she took the rose and sniffed it, but it seemed to turn black and cold until she touched it, she cupped her mouth in concern, but soon Chip laughed in a playful fashion, which made her laugh. Lex felt jealous of them yet, but she would do something to express her feelings to Zephyr. Teddy frowned for Lex and decided to even help her out.

"Best friends..." Zephyr grinned.

"And we always will be," Quasimodo grinned back, "always."

Soon Zephyr fell asleep.

Soon Quasimodo took Zephyr off his back and continued to sing to him while holding him in his arms. "Through all the thin and thick, closer than frack and frick, we two will do the trick, I'd stick with you~"

Madellaine grinned as that looked rather touching.

"Fast as the clock can tick, I'd be there just as swift~," Quasimodo grinned as he rocked Zephyr, "no one I'd rather pick, I'd stick with you~"

Soon the others came over.

"Children, it's late," Teresa warned the young ones, "I suggest we all go to bed at night."

"Zephyr beat us to some sleep," Jesse smirked playfully.

"Well, he's six..." Cynthia chuckled.

Esmeralda grinned as she took Zephyr in her arms to go put down to bed.

"We better get some sleep as well," Jesse said.

Soon they went to get going to get some sleep while Lex turned back to see that Madellaine came out to see Quasimodo.

"You have a way with children," Madellaine grinned to the hunchback.

Seeing Madellaine caused Quasimodo to become shocked.

"Mum...Dad...what's this like to fall in love," Lex asked.

"Oh, it can be a lot of feelings..." Cynthia grinned, "you can feel your heart running faster than you've ever had before...you can't stop thinking about this person...it's like you were a totally different person."

"And, um...how does it feel if you kissed that person, other than feeling fireworks," Lex asked.

"Oh, it's a good experience, but it's better to try myself..." Cynthia grinned, "until I kissed your father for the first time, I felt I was walking in the air."

"Aw," Lex grinned.

"You're too young to think about love..." Martin mumbled a little.

"Oh, Martin, let her have a moment, she'll learn..." Cynthia consoled, "and besides, Jesse's young and he and Tim have girlfriends."

Martin looked away and grinned sheepishly.

"I'm not a baby," Lex pouted to her father.

"I know, I know," Martin sighed.

"You'll feel love soon, Lex, and if you do, you'll know..." Cynthia grinned, "you shouldn't rush love.....especially with a love potion..." she winced, "these will always have a bad result."

Lex grinned to her mother while feeling sleepy. Once they got to where they were going to sleep, the children were put in bed.

Soon the children all bundled down to get some sleep.

"Good night, everyone..." Forte warned the children.

"Night..." the children muttered before the lights were out, the door was shut, and they could all sleep.

"They're so peaceful until they sleep," Cynthia said.

"Almost like angels....." Teresa had to agree before sighing, "how did we all grow so fast?"

Jesse simply shrugged.

"Well, at least it's a nice night......" Teresa said as she looked out a window, "I've never seen Paris so peaceful in a long time."

"Same plus," Forte said.

Everyone looked outside, but it didn't seem all too well outside.

Soon Phoebus got on Achilles to ride into town to see what the distress was, and where it was about people's stuff getting stolen.

"Achilles," Martin asked, "do you need help?"

"I'm sure I can do this, but if you want to help, that's fine," Phoebus grinned to him.

Soon Martin joined Phoebus in his investigation at who was behind the robbery.

The people complained about their missing stuff to the two men.

"Captain of the Guard, I exist you do something," a woman frowned.

"They took my silver," a man cried out in grief, "all my coins to pay my landlord! They're going to throw us out!"

"My bracelet is gone," another woman shrieked.

"My life savings are gone," another man yelled.

'Woah...' Martin though to himself.

"OK, that's it, don't worry. The king's guard is on the case.  We'll find the culprits," Phoebus warned the crowd before muttering, "where we'll find them, I don't know."

"Speaking of crime-spree....." Martin muttered to himself, "I mean seriously, how did all these people get robbed?"

"Not just them, but it seems almost everyone is..." Phoebus replied.

Soon Martin looked at the circus while having a theory about the circus being in town as well as the robberies. "Phoebus...I have a theory....." he said, "isn't it a little suspicious how these people come into town for their circus until there are raids?"

Soon Phoebus paused and thought about it. "You might stumble upon something..."

"I'm sure of this," Martin smirked, "can't fight the instinct."

"You have to be a grand time with your instincts," Phoebus smirked back.

"Well, I'm a detective," Martin replied.

"I agree with you, how many times have I been wrong," Phoebus nodded.

Then Achilles clamped his hoof to count how many times Phoebus had been wrong before.

"Achilles, that was a rhetorical question," Phoebus sighed to his horse.

Martin simply shrugged. Soon Phoebus had Achilles ride away into the night before they would go back home.

Later that night, Lex decided to do something that Luna the black cat did once. Everyone else was yet asleep. Lex tiptoed while they slept where she could do what she wanted to do. Soon she found Zephyr and knew exactly what to do. There were footsteps heard outside.

Lex panicked and hid for shelter before looking out. Soon the footsteps went off and faded. Then Lex breathed in relief before looking down on Zephyr. Soon she silently made her road to Zephyr. Zephyr was sleeping soundly since he was quite tired from today's emotion, unaware at what Lex was up to. Soon Lex kissed Zephyr on the lips, knowing that he wouldn't awaken.

Zephyr yet slept through that. Lex cupped her mouth with a sheepish chuckle while blushing as she was experiencing her first crush. Soon she left the room to get her rest. It was a peaceful night for them, even if almost all of Paris was robbed by suspicious characters.

Soon enough, the next day came.

"Come and see the beautiful Esmeralda in her dance of love," Clopin warned the crowd and grinned as he brought out a puppet to entertain the children with, "careful, or you may lose your heart."

The puppet began to show his heart thumping before fainting. Some of the children laughed to that before looking to the gypsy woman as she performed a little dance for them. Zephyr was also onstage, juggling and Djali joined in on the dance, and where Lex was dancing from her the happiness in her heart from last night.

"Oh, she looks so graceful today..." Forte said as Lex joined in on the dance like she had a spring in her step.

"Esmeralda? Esmeralda," Quasimodo called from backstage, "you have to help me!"

Lex overheard what Quasimodo and had a feeling it had something to do with his feelings for Madellaine. Esmeralda handed Lex her tambourine and then went to speak with Quasimodo in private, and where Lex handed the tambourine to Annie where she could find out if her theory was right. Annie chuckled as she took the tambourine and soon danced with the others onstage.

"Quasi, what is this," Esmeralda asked once she and the hunchback were alone in a tent, "what's wrong?"

"I believe that I'm sick. I feel horrible and then wonderful," Quasimodo sounded miserable at first before grinning, "and then wonderfully horrible a-a-and horribly wonderful."

Soon Lex decided to listen into what was going on.

"Euphoria," Esmeralda smiled knowingly.

"I can't eat, I can't sleep," Quasimodo continued.

"I understand, a-a-and it hurts to breathe, but you don't care," Esmeralda asked as she looked through the crystal ball.

"Yes! Yes!  That's it," Quasimodo replied, "what have I done?"

"Well, you must warn her how you feel," Esmeralda advised.

Quasimodo looked afraid to do that. "Uh...how can I..." the hunchback stammered anxiously, "what would she say?"

"I'm sorry I can't help you with that," Esmeralda warned him, "you'll have to find that out for yourself."

"That's right," Lex said.

Then they looked over and found Lex right there.

"Oops," Lex grinned sheepishly, "I was curious."

"Thanks, Lex, but I can handle this," Esmeralda grinned to the brunette girl.

"I can see this," Lex grinned back.

"This circus is responsible for a number of robberies," Phoebus said as soon as he came in, looking firm and serious.

"What," Esmeralda frowned.

"I like the circus, Dad," Zephyr grinned as he juggled, "I want to join and-"

"Absolutely not," Phoebus firmly warned his son, which made him frown in concern, "these people---"

"Perhaps it's not wise to call them 'these people', sir," Lex spoke up.

"Please don't interrupt," Esmeralda warned Lex before looking to her husband, "how can you lump people together like that?"

"But the gypsies are not guilty of crimes like these circus people," Phoebus warned his wife.

Soon Lex sneaked off silently to go see Madellaine to find out if she knew anything about the robberies.

"That's actually a clever point you have there..." Teresa had to admit to the Captain of the Guard.

"Madellaine isn't," Quasimodo defended, "she's different."

"Well, perhaps, and perhaps she's just using you to get something else," Phoebus warned him.

"Are you saying that she doesn't love him for him, only for him," Cynthia asked Phoebus.

"Oh, of course she could. Yes, anyone could, but look at the facts," Phoebus attempted.

"Find some, and I will," Quasimodo frowned soon before he left the tent.

Esmeralda looked worried for him before frowning at her husband and leaving himself. Even Zephyr and Djali left out the tent and the goat butted a ball against his head.

"Achilles, do you think so? Everyone is mad at me," Phoebus sulked, "how often does that happen?"

Achilles began to do the same fact he did last night.

"Rhetorical," Phoebus warned his horse.

Later on, Lex found Madellaine and she was practicing her tightrope act, and where Lex saw Madellaine had a wooden figure of herself and where it was from Quasimodo.

"What are you doing now, my little cabbage," Sarousch asked as he came to the blonde woman, which made her gasp at first.

"Practice," Madellaine warned him.

"Why bother," Sarousch chuckled before coming into the tent, "oh, did you find out where the monster keeps his bell, darling?"

"I'm sorry, but Quasimodo's not a monster and she's not your jewelry," Lex frowned at Sarousch.

"That's right," Madellaine added as she continued balancing on the tightrope.

"Children should be seen, not heard," Sarousch frowned back down at Lex.

"Leave her alone," Madellaine warned Sarousch firmly, "I want nothing more to do with your thefts."

"I must have that bell," Sarousch frowned at Madellaine.

"You can't have it," Lex snapped, "it's not yours!"

"That's right," Madellaine said.

"Oh, really? And how are you going to survive out there, huh," Sarousch frowned to Madellaine, "with your looks?"

"Quasimodo sees something you don't see," Madellaine frowned back.

"Oh, does he," Sarousch sneered, "well, what if we had an unfortunate incident?"

Madellaine gasped to that and fell off the tightrope.

"If I have to go up there with my men and do it the hard fashion, the hunchback may get hurt," Sarousch warned her.

Lex gasped as she knew what that meant.

"No! You can't," Madellaine gasped as Sarousch's men came up behind her and carried her by her arms, "you...you wouldn't."

"If you want him alive, then lure the hunchback away while I steal loyalty," Sarousch smirked as he stroked her face, "guide him out of harm's road."

Madellaine looked like she was out of options where she simply nodded her head. Sarousch smirked to that and soon his men let Madellaine go, dropping her on her knees and they left the tent. Lex felt bad for Madellaine. Teddy came in and saw the figurine of the woman and soon picked it up and brought it to her.

"Oh...thank you..." Madellaine warned him as she took the figure, though she yet looked miserable.

Soon Lex and Teddy decided to leave her alone for a bit.

"Is she alright, Mum," Teddy asked.

"I'm sure there'll be a happy ending soon..." Lex consoled her Pokemon before hugging him and grinned, "oh, you're so cute."

Teddy grinned back at her.

"I'm so proud of you," Lex grinned.

Soon they went to meet up with Zephyr.

"I can't believe what Dad said about the circus people," Zephyr pouted.

Lex wasn't sure how to warn Zephyr about most of the circus people.

"We're really sorry, Zephyr," Jesse frowned, "I wish we could do something."

"I really wanted to be in the circus..." Zephyr pouted.

Djali came to the boy and nuzzled him to console him.

"Djali sure makes a nice pet," Tim said.

"I'm trying my best," Djali bleated.

"Now how did you guys get a grizzly bear pet," Zephyr asked.

"He's actually my Pokemon," Lex replied.

"Poke...man...right," Zephyr asked.

"Poke-E-Mon..." Tim enunciated slowly and clearly.

"What's a Pokemon," Zephyr asked.

"There are these monsters that as a company you can afford and train to fight others," Jesse explained before he took out his Pokeball. "Allow me to introduce you..." he tossed the ball into the air to summon the Pokemon inside for Zephyr to see for himself, and where out came Pupitar and Ponyta.

"Woah," Zephyr gasped.

"Zephyr, this is Pupitar and Ponyta," Jesse introduced with a grin.

Pupitar and Ponyta simply replied by nuzzling.

"Um, your horse is on fire......" Zephyr said to Jesse about Ponyta.

"Ponyta's so, Zephyr, it's alright," Jesse reassured the boy.

Ponyta nodded in agreement.

"That's pretty cool..." Zephyr said as he took a look at them.

Pupitar and Ponyta grinned at the compliment. Soon Vulpix came out of his Pokeball next.

"A fox," Zephyr asked.

"Vulpix," Tim corrected, "he kind of looks like a normal fox though, doesn't he?"

Vulpix grinned up and all around.

"Well, what makes him different from a fox," Zephyr asked.

"Look," Tim said as Vulpix turned around, "he's had more than one cock."

"Yes," Zephyr asked himself before taking a look to see that what was true.

"He also has firepowers," Tim continued.

"Ooh," Zephyr grinned.

"I'm sorry about the circus though..." Tim said to Zephyr.

"Yes...it's such a bummer....." Zephyr pouted, "Dad doesn't trust them."

"We can warn," Jesse said.

"Well, what have you done," Chip frowned, "it's not like you can just run off and join the circus."

Zephyr suddenly had an idea. "Heeey..."

"Oh, dear, oh, dear, don't do this," Chip warned him, "you shouldn't run off like that, Zephyr!"

"Yes, our dad learned that the hard way," Jesse said.

"I have to," Zephyr decided, "I bet I'd be grand in the circus."

"Well, alright then," Lex said.

"Are you really sure you want this," Tim frowned.

"If you don't help me, I'll go alone," Zephyr warned them.

"OK, that's it," Jesse said.

Then Zephyr decided to get ready to leave for the circus.

Lex looked sheepish as soon as she came behind the boy.

"Um, Zephyr, um...would you like a company for a trip," she offered, blushing a little since she seemed to like him.

"Sure," Zephyr grinned.

"Great," Lex grinned back, "uh, thanks."

Zephyr grinned to her and allowed her to join him.

"Please, Zephyr, wait..." Djali frowned about the boy running away to join the circus.

"Shall we stop them," Tim asked Jesse.

"I don't think there's any fashion we can stop them...I guess we could let them go...but I don't like that Sarousch guy..." Jesse replied.

"Neither do I," the Pokemon said.

"But if something goes wrong, you're going to save them, right," Tim asked.

"Naturally! Who do you think I am," Jesse grinned.

"Right," Tim nodded.

"I'll keep my eyes peeled....." Jesse decided, "I always made a promise to myself that I would take care of Lex and anyone else who might be with her, and I intend to keep that promise for the rest of my life."

"Great," Tim said.

Soon they left Lex and Zephyr alone.

"Well, um...what have you done," Zephyr asked Lex.

"I'm a dancer," Lex grinned as she posed like a ballerina.

"That's cool," Zephyr grinned back.

"Yes, I'm pretty talented for my age," Lex blushed from his grin.

"I'd say so," Zephyr grinned.

Lex chuckled bashfully and brightly, she felt so happy right now since they were bonding.

"I need to speak to Sarousch," Phoebus decided.

"Please don't, this guy's a nutcase," Teresa replied.

"Do you mind if I join you," Martin asked Phoebus.

"Certainly..." Phoebus allowed.

"But just for a moment," Martin grinned to Cynthia.

Then Cynthia hugged him and kissed him before he left. Soon Phoebus and Martin arrived back at the circus. Cynthia sighed as she watched him go, but grinned to her husband.

Meanwhile, Sarousch was admiring his stolen collection.

"Hey, Achilles," Martin warned the horse once they came to where they needed to go.

"Ooh, nice~..." Sarousch smirked until he heard the doors and swiftly hid his treasure, "Captain!"

"We're here for a series of robberies," Phoebus firmly warned him.

"And we're here to look for jewelry and money," Jesse added.

"A theft in this city," Phoebus added.

"Well, we didn't miss anything, except some of my hair," Sarousch chuckled as soon as he was looked after by his helper, "are you smart enough to get that back?"

"You don't mind that we look around, you go," Jesse asked.

"Oh, dear, I don't think so," Sarousch said innocently.

Martin nodded and then went to one box and opened it, but it was empty. Soon Phoebus looked into a different box. Sarousch just sat calmly and innocently. Martin felt suspicious, but he kept looking for evidence, and soon where he saw that Phoebus found the evidence they needed.

"Oh, it's true, Captain," Sarousch cried out in despair, "and it's my fault!"

"Y-You admit..." Phoebus asked, a bit confused.

"Absolutely. I'm responsible for her," Sarousch wept, "you see, she's been a thief since she was six.  I figured I could stop her if I gave her a job, a place to call home.  Oh, Madellaine!"

"Madellaine," Martin asked out of confusion.

"Madellaine," Sarousch repeated through sobs.

"Where is she," Phoebus asked.

"Gone," Sarousch replied, "she and the hunchback saunter through town."

"Thanks for warning us," Martin said.

"No, thank you, guys," Sarousch grinned.

"We'll let you come back to yourself..." Phoebus said before leaving with Martin, and where Sarousch now had both Phoebus and Martin distracted.

"It's perfect," Sarousch smirked to himself, while admiring a picture of himself, "I'll do the heist of the century while the girl leads the monster, the detective and the captain away."

Soon Madellaine wandered through town, passing by the villagers as she was looking for Quasimodo. Soon she made it to the church. Some wondered about her, but they left her alone.

Quasimodo came to the doors with his rose. "Madellaine! I-I wanna s-speak to-" he stammered, hiding the flower from her.

"Oh, um...let's...let's go for a walk," Madellaine suggested.

Soon the two of them went for a walk.

Soon the circus was shutting down since they were done in Notre Dame and about to go to another town.

"Well, here we go again....." Jojo sighed as she sat with Goliath.

Goliath began to nuzzle her to console her.

"Oh, you're such a good lion, Goliath..." Jojo grinned to him.

Soon Jojo's parents got ready to pack up and leave with the other circus people.

"I really miss Trina, Skeebo and Mrs. Kersplatski..." Jojo frowned, which made her parents look mournful for her about their old lives.

Soon they saw Sarousch and his men leaving the circus grounds.

"C'mon, Jojo, we have to go," Mr. Tickle warned his daughter.

"Alright, Dad," Jojo said before taking Goliath's paw and walking with him.

Soon Zephyr, Djali and Lex saw Sarousch.

"Oh, oh, oh! Mr. Sarousch," Zephyr called out as he juggled, "can we join your circus?"

Sarousch took one ball and signed his name on it before giving it back.

"That was weird," Lex said.

"Ah, the price you pay," Sarousch muttered as he put his hood up while leaving with his men.

"Hey, wait," Zephyr called out.

"Come back," Djali added.

"Wait for us," Lex cried.

"I'm not sure about that yet..." Djali whispered to himself about Zephyr and Lex going to the circus.

"I can join the circus if I want," Zephyr warned the goat before chasing after Sarousch, "say, where are you going?"

Lex saw where they were going and didn't like it. Soon Phoebus and Martin questioned everyone in town about Madelaline, but it wasn't working out so far, but they weren't going to give up their search.

Soon Zephyr and Lex came into the church.

"Aunt Teresa, is Dad here," Lex asked.

"No, he's not," Teresa replied as she practiced some yoga, "he's with Phoebus, looking for the thieves."

Soon Lex felt torn apart as she wanted to keep up with Zephyr or go and inform her dad what Sarousch was up to. Teresa continued doing what she was thinking. Lex sighed and soon she went to follow Zephyr as they went up to the bell tower.

'I already know what Sarousch is looking for,' Lex thought to herself.

"Oh! They're stealing loyalty," Zephyr frowned.

Djali shook his head as he didn't like this at all. Soon Sarousch said his magic words, which made his men roll their eyes in annoyance. Once he was completed, soon he made the bell disappear. The gargoyles hid for cover and unfortunately saw this.

"They stole it! Dad was right," Zephyr gasped before turning to Djali and Lex, "c'mon, we need to find out where they have the doorbell!"

"Alright," Lex nodded.

As they left, a bell was suddenly rung, which was a signal to the others who knew about it and they went towards Notre Dame.

"Royal followers! It's gone," the Archdeacon cried out in despair, coming out of the church, "the bell has been stolen!"

"We have to find her, or the festival will be ruined," Clopin suggested.

Soon Phoebus and Martin knew exactly who stole the bell.

"Sarousch! How could I have been so foolish," Phoebus growled.

"Sarousch..." Quasimodo muttered as he came with Madellaine.

"Mark the city, every street, every river, every alley," Phoebus warned the other guards, "they won't go far with such a big bell."

Soon Quasimodo looked at the rose he was going to give Madellaine before having a feeling she knew about Sarousch stealing the bell. "You knew that," the hunchback whispered, hoping that she hadn't.

"I-I wanted to warn you," Madellaine frowned, "I tried--"

"You used me," Quasimodo frowned.

Martin knew this had to be a horrible situation Quasimodo was in.

"'What's a loyal follower?' 'Let's...let's go for a walk'," Quasimodo frowned at Madellaine, "you never concerned about me."

"No! That's not true," Madellaine frowned.

"You were right," Quasimodo muttered to Phoebus.

"I'm sorry," Phoebus wrinkled to Quasimodo before frowning at Madellaine, "take her away!"

"No! No, Quasi, please let me explain," Madellaine cried out in despair, only to be held back by guards as Quasimodo stormed away inside of the church.

He didn't turn back, not trusting Madellaine anymore.

"Poor Quasimodo....." Martin frowned as this had to be painful for the hunchback.

"Look at me," Madellaine cried out in despair, "Quasimodo, just look at me!"

Quasimodo just shut the doors as he refused to look at her. Soon Martin saw that Madellaine wasn't all that bad. At last, Quasimodo stormed up the stairs, but soon slowed down and broke down in tears. Annie and Chip grinned to each other until they came to the stairs and found him weeping, which was a rather heartbreaking sight.

"Quasimodo, is everything alright," Chip asked.

"Madellaine was only using me where she and Sarousch could gain loyalty..." Quasimodo frowned.

"I'm sure she had no choice," Annie said.

"I thought perhaps someone was taking care of me like that..." Quasimodo frowned. Soon he looked at the rose and began to pluck the petals.

"Quasi? Hey, Quasi," Laverne's voice called out from the top.

They began to go to the source of the voice.

"Quasi, is that you," Laverne asked.

"I say, old sport, need some help," Victor added.

"Wait, get us out of here," Hugo cried out in despair.

"Well, that's certainly interesting..." Chip said, "a bunch of gargoyles trapped in a bell."

"How did you three manage to get under that bell," Annie asked.

Then the three gargoyles spoke at once.

"One at a time," Annie scolded, "alright...now what's going on?"

"It's Zephyr and Lex," Laverne said.

"They chased them," Hugo added.

"They've what," Chip and Annie panicked.

Soon Quasimodo looked protective and serious as he went down the church to go and help out.

"They've been here before and decided they had to stop Sarousch from picking up the bell," Victor warned the children.

"Oh, this is serious," Chip said.

"We have to find them....." Annie frowned.

"C'mon, let's go," Chip warned her, taking her hand and running with her, "I just hope they're alright."

"I hope so as well, Chip, I do hope so," Annie frowned softly to her best friend.

Soon Phoebus, Martin and the other guards came to the town square, only to see that the circus grounds were removed.

"What just happened to the circus," one guard called out.

"They must've moved," Martin said.

"Sure, trying to cover their tracks..." Phoebus sighed.

'It'll be a little more difficult than I thought,' Martin thought to himself.

Soon the guards came together to get ready for Sarousch's eventual arrest.

Meanwhile, we were shown the catacombs as Sarousch rode off in a gondola with the pride resting on it. "It won't be long before we're home free," the man smirked as he leaned back, resting his feet on a lumped up blanket, only to hear moans from inside of it. Then he removed the blanket and soon found that Lex, Zephyr and Djali had been hiding underneath of it.

"Uh, hi," Lex grinned sheepishly.

Djali growled at Sarousch and was about to headbutt him, only to be caught by Sarousch's helpers. However, the goat kicked one man in the face with his hoof and got back down on the ground before running and ended up on the floor of the catacombs and the boat rode off without him.

"Don't worry, guys, I'll get help," Djali promised before running away through a door.

"You'll never get away with that," Lex frowned at Sarousch.

"Yes, my father's Captain of the Guard," Zephyr added.

"Captain of the Guard, right," Sarousch chuckled wickedly, "really?"

"Whoops...perhaps you shouldn't have done that," Lex gulped.

Meanwhile, with the others....

Cynthia looked like she was going to be sick from concerning about Lex as Martin and Phoebus came back.

"Captain, the city is safe, but there's no sign of Sarousch," a guard warned Phoebus.

"Then we must look further," Phoebus demanded strictly.

"Where could he be," Martin wondered.

"Phoebus! Martin," Esmeralda called out as they came in.

"Zephyr and Lex have been chasing Sarousch," Quasimodo informed.

Soon Cynthia fainted.

"Cynthia," Martin gasped and soon came to his wife.

"Ooh...I knew something had to go wrong..." Cynthia whined as she looked up at him, "we have to find them."

"We've searched everywhere," Esmeralda warned her husband.

"I have men all over the city," Phoebus consoled her, "we'll find them."

"Ah, but we have someone who knows where to find Sarousch, right, Chip," Annie asked.

"Right," Chip replied.

"What are you speaking about," Teresa asked.

"Madellaine will know where to find Sarousch," Annie warned her mother.

"Madellaine," Teresa scoffed, "yes, I really want to hear Miss Blondie after what she did!"

"Listen to them," Madellaine warned Teresa, "you're looking in all the wrong places. Sarousch made a living from illusion, but I can't make up my mind.  It's the same as the disappearing elephant.  There was always a tunnel under the stage.  He took the bell underground."

"The catacombs," Esmeralda thought out loud and long, "he could use the catacombs."

"And she could say exactly what Sarousch wants him to say," Phoebus grumbled.

"No, she's warning you the truth," Chip warned him.

Soon Teresa knelt down and looked down to her daughter. "Are you sure of this, darling," she asked.

"Yes, Mum," Annie warned her mother, "we heard her...I know you and Dad said eavesdropping is wrong, but we had to....do you believe me?"

"Well...you're not really one who lies, where I believe you....." Teresa said softly.

"Thank you, Mum," Annie said, hugging her mother.

Teresa gently patted Annie on the head as the girl grinned.

"Your son's life is at stake," Esmeralda warned Phoebus, looking into his eyes and taking his hands, "perhaps you should go back to being as you were with me."

"We have to go there any matter..." Martin said a bit firmly, "Sarousch did a very wrong fact for which I'll never forgive him, he has my little girl, and I don't intend to let anything happen to her as long as I live."

Soon Phoebus took the keys for Madellaine's cell.

"You better not deceive us..." Teresa sharply warned Madellaine, "I don't take too kindly these that go against me to save my skin."

"I promise you, I'm not joking you," Madellaine warned her.

"Alright! But she's coming as a prisoner," Phoebus warned the others as he freed Madellaine.

Soon they made their road into the catacombs.

"Boy, this is sure to evoke memories..." Teresa commented.

"It smells in here...." Tim frowned.

"You said so," Jesse added.

Chip let out a loud, anguished shriek to the skulls as spiders came out of the eye sockets.

"It's alright, Chip, we're alright," Annie soothed him.

Then they all suddenly heard bleating from a goat before Djali ran out right in front of them from one doorway.

"Djali," Jesse grinned.

"Djali, where are Zephyr and Lex," Esmeralda asked her goat.

"Sarousch," Djali cried.

"Hurry up, Djali, take us to them," Esmeralda warned her puppy.

Then Djali led the road.

"It's Djali; the Wonder Goat," Teresa nodded.

They began to follow the goat.

"Which will fit better with my eyes," Sarousch asked as he looked in his mirror while someone did his hair, "diamonds or sapphires?"

"I don't think any of them matter where you are going," Martin's voice frowned.

Sarousch held the mirror down and soon saw all of the guards, ready to arrest him.

"Sarousch," Phoebus frowned with Martin.

"Hello, Captain and Detetcive~" Saroush smirked to them.

"You're going nowhere without jail," Cynthia frowned at Sarousch.

"Give up," Phoebus added as he rolled a crank, which lowered the exterior gate, "you've had no road out!"

"Really? I see facts a little differently," Sarousch smirked as he suddenly made Lex and Zephyr appear in his hands.

"HEEELLLPPP," Lex cried out in despair.

"Mum! Dad," Zephyr cried out to his parents in grief.

"LET THEM GO," Phoebus demanded.

"Let them go? I don't think so, boys," Sarousch smirked as he held the children hostage, "they're my tickets from here!"

Cynthia began to get frustrated at Sarousch for holding Lex and Zephyr hostage, but mostly Lex.

"You're not going anywhere, Sarousch, now let go of the children," Phoebus demanded as he drew out his sword.

Soon the other guards took out their swords as well.

"Let me pass and you will see your precious children again," Sarousch smirked.

"Let them go otherwise," Martin threatened.

"Quasimodo, he means it," Madellaine whispered to the hunchback, "he'll hurt Lex and Zephyr, but I know how we can save them. Please free me!"

"Why," Quasimodo frowned, "where can you escape with Sarousch?"

"Don't test me, boys," Sarousch smirked.

"DADDY," Lex cried out in despair.

"DAD," Zephyr added.

Phoebus looked enraged about his only child in danger, soon he put his sword away and handed the torch to Esmeralda before lifting the gate to allow Sarousch to go where that Zephyr and Lex could go free.

"Lovely~" Sarousch chuckled as he had what he wanted.

Soon the gate was opened all the road. Quasimodo bowed his head slightly.

"Quasimodo, listen to me," Madellaine warned him, "I know I hurt you. I'm sorry, but I'm someone you can trust."

"How can I," Quasimodo huffed, "I've already made that mistake."

"Quasimodo, there's more for me," Madellaine warned him.

Cynthia could warn that Madellaine was warning the truth. Quasimodo looked into her eyes as he thought long and hard about it. At last, he turned back to her and untied the ropes, looking into her eyes. Then Madellaine took his hand and ran with him where that they could both stop Sarousch.

"Well done, gentlemen," Sarousch chuckled as he yet rode off with Lex and Zephyr.

Cynthia was about to go after them to save the children.

"Cynthia, you shouldn't..." Martin tried to warn her.

"There are children in serious danger..." Cynthia said softly and slowly at first before turning around with fire in her eyes, "don't warn me what I SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T DO!!"

Martin was about to calm her down before they both noticed Quasimodo and Madellaine missing. Zephyr and Lex were heard calling out to their parents as Esmeralda held onto Phoebus in heartbreak. Quasimodo stood with Madellaine and used a rope before tossing it across the road and latched it onto the next platform and tied the rope like a tightrope in the circus.

"You're holding the rope, I'm doing the rest," Madellaine warned Quasimodo.

Quasimodo nodded, trusting Madellaine again.

Charlie swiftly jumped over to the next platform. The waves caused the support beams holding the ship to fall into the water. This caused a barrel filled with oil to fall over and spill onto a contraption, which sparked and causing the oil to ignite. The flames surrounded Anne-Marie in a ring of fire. Charlie placed his life watch on a hook as Carface jumped on him from above and bit on his neck. This caused Charlie's arm to fling upward and hit his life watch, causing it to fall onto a plank in the water. Carface was ready to bite hard on Charlie as King Gator rammed his head into the ship again. The shock caused the two to fall off the platform. Charlie held onto it as Carface held onto him. The weight of Carface made it hard for Charlie to hold his grip. At last, Carface let go of Charlie as he fell into the water.

"Let us go, you big bully," Lex frowned.

"Oh, you try so hard to sound big and rough, but you're just a little girl," Sarousch laughed at her.

"At least my hair isn't a wig," Lex smirked.

"Excuse me," Sarousch frowned, "don't cross me, child, I'll make you suffer in the worst possible fashion."

"What? You're going to sing for me," Lex smirked.

Zephyr couldn't help but laugh at that. Sarousch began to get annoyed by the children.

Madellaine whispered to herself as she walked across the rope, trying very hard not to lose her balance. "I can do this....I can do this...."

"I know you can," Quasimodo grinned to her.

Madellaine grinned back to him before bravely continuing forward. Lex began to pray that someone would save them. Soon Madellaine sat down on the rope and she swooped past, snatching Lex and Zephyr off of Sarousch.

"What," Sarousch frowned, "what are you doing here?!"

"Just standing here and looking beautiful," Madellaine frowned back as she carried the children.

"Yes, just like you said she should," Lex added.

Quasimodo laughed at that as the others came back.

"Lex," Jesse called out, "are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, Jesse," Lex called back with a grin.

"Whew," Jesse sighed.

Then the guards swarmed in and surrounded Sarousch since they could now arrest him since he had nothing to bribe them with.

"No, not the face," Sarousch cried out in grief, "not the face!"

Madellaine grinned as she gave Zephyr and Lex back to their families.

"Oh, thank heavens," Cynthia sighed.

Soon Annie ran up to Lex and hugged her.

"Aw, I missed you as well, Annie," Lex grinned as she hugged her mother back.

"M-Mr. Sarousch....we've been speaking...." Mr. Tickle tried to look firm with his now ex-boss, "we...my family and I......we...we..."

"YOU'RE FIRED," Sarousch snapped at him while being taken away, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"

This yell was so loud that it echoed across the carnival. "Uh, I guess this helps...." Mr. Tickle said hesitantly.

"It's alright, darling..." Mrs. Tickle grinned to her husband, "we're free now."

"Oh, Peaches..." Mr. Tickle grinned back before they shared a kiss, though their noses honked together.

Goliath covered his eyes with his paws while Jojo grinned up to her parents.

"Does that mean we can return home to Circus Town," Jojo asked her parents.

"Yes, Jojo, we're going home," Mrs. Tickle grinned.

"Alright," Jojo and Goliath cheered together, hearing the frustrated ringmaster shout his name.

Sure enough, the next day came. With Sarousch under arrest, everybody in Notre Dame celebrated in emotion and happiness of the festival of love. Quasimodo grinned down to them as he rung the loyalty to help them celebrate as they cheered.

"And now, while Quasimodo calls loyalty, come and proclaim your love for all of Paris to hear," Clopin warned the people.

"I love Josette," a man called out.

"I love Jean-Paul," a woman added as they embraced each other.

"Aw," Lex and Annie grinned.

Victor and Laverne grinned to the people down below, not even minding the pigeons. Hugo sighed as he looked like he was left out until he heard Djali's hoof steps and came to see the goat. Then the gargoyle held out a rose for the goat, and of course, he ate it before batting his eyelashes and licking him on the cheek. This made Hugo so happy that he fainted with a lovesick expression on his face. Next was Phoebus and Esmeralda's turn.

"I was fully wrong," Phoebus whispered as he gave the gypsy a rose.

Esmeralda chuckled to that. "I know."

"I can only say one fact," Phoebus said silently before shouting, "I love Esmeralda!"

"I love Phoebus," Esmeralda added.

Soon they kissed. Achilles watched this and shook his head with a smirk to Phoebus. Then a mare came up right behind Achilles and gave him a rose. Then the two horses shared the rose before galloping away together.

"Ah, it's like Spirit and Rain," Cynthia grinned to that.

"Yes," Martin added.

"I love Martin," Cynthia called out, hugging his arm.

"Ah, I love you as well, Cynthia," Martin grinned.

Soon they all heard the bell no longer ringing. This made everybody both look worried and confused. Once they saw what was going on, it made them all grin and they saw that Madellaine held out a rose for Quasimodo. Lex, luckily, got in a front row seat to find out what they were speaking about.

"What's in these shoes anyhow," Teresa asked about Lex's shoes.

"Nothing..." Martin said, "except magic dust....."

Teresa gave him a long look in cynical and sardronic deadpan and he slowly grinned sheepishly.

"Quasimodo, you showed me the world is complete with wonders," Madellaine grinned as she gave the hunchback a rose.

"Just ordinary miracles," Quasimodo grinned back as he accepted the rose, "they happen every day."

"Yuck..." Zephyr rolled his eyes as he saw that up close.

"Yes, yuck," Quasimodo and Madellaine grinned out of love.

"I'm so glad I can just get powdery mildew," Victor grinned for Quasimodo.

"Ah, be a little alert," Hugo blurted out before weeping emotionally, "take your heart for granite......like me!"

"Aw, she'd better take good care of our boy," Laverne consoled while patting Hugo on the back.

"Don't worry, I will," Madellaine grinned.

The gargoyles looked shocked and surprised that someone else saw them come alive. Madellaine merely grinned to them and their jaws literally dropped. Then soon the blonde woman kissed Quasimodo in the lips. Soon Quasimodo let go of the rope for the bell. Then Zephyr caught it and rang the bell for him.

"I LOVE MADELLAINE," Quasimodo called out as he carried his new girlfriend.

"AND I LOVE QUASIMODO," Madellaine added with a chuckle.

"Aw," Lex grinned.

This seemed to be the perfect ending for everybody, and soon where it would be time for the Greenwood and Forte families to leave, but before that, Lex had to get something off her chest. Soon Estelle came to Zephyr and suddenly kissed him.

"Gosh," Zephyr moaned slightly with a frown, "hey, what were you doing that for?"

"Oh! Uh...I'm sorry," Lex said, a little afraid from his reaction, "I have to warn you about something."

"Alright, what is this," Zephyr asked.

"Zephyr, I like you...I really like you....." Lex confessed. "I wanted someone to love just like my brothers, and...now I feel like I have him found...someone special...." she warned him with a grin.

"Should you have kissed me," Zephyr asked, which made her instantly frown, "you could have just warned me."

"Um...I'm sorry..." Lex said sheepishly, "but I really like you."

"Oh...well, I'm sorry, Lex, but I only like you as a friend..." Zephyr said, which seemed to make Lex feel worse.

"Oh..." Lex frowned as tears started to come out.

"Besides, don't you think we're too young for that," Zephyr asked, "uh, are you alright?"

"No, I just have to wipe the egg off my face," Lex tried to grin through the tears.

"Um...alright..." Zephyr shrugged, not sure what to think of that, but left her alone.

Lex grinned, but it swiftly dropped to a frown and she felt miserable now. Cynthia saw everything and came over to her daughter for consolation. Soon Lex wept as she looked depressed now.

"Oh, darling, it's alright...csendes..." Cynthia cooed as she picked up Lex in her arms and hugged her as she wept.

After some time had passed, Lex calmed down.

"Feeling better already," Cynthia asked.

"A little bit...." Lex said softly, "I just thought...I eventually found my special someone."

"Looks like you've had some work to do," Cynthia said.

"I know it sounds painful, but it can happen until you least expect it..." Teresa advised, "a lot of guys in high school usually didn't want to speak to me."

"Because they were afraid of you," Lex guessed.

Teresa glanced at her before turning back. "Yes..."

"Any matter, we have to go," Cynthia said.

"Already," Jesse asked.

"Oh, c'mon, you've had your fun, time to go home...." Martin chuckled.

"Alright..." the children sighed in defeat and soon went with their parents to leave Notre Dame.

Once saying their farewells, the two families went back home.

"Um, Teresa, Maestro, thanks for letting me come," Chip said softly.

"Of course, Chip..." Teresa replied, "you're Annie's best friend."

"That's right," Forte nodded.

Chip grinned to them and soon went to the kitchen to go and see his mother to let her know that he was back, and where she was happy that he was alright.

Lex sighed as she sat on her bed while staring out the window. "I guess it was just a fantasy to think I'd find the perfect guy right away..." she sulked to herself. "I think it was fun while it lasted," she decided to actually wait until she was older to find the right boy.

"Hey..." Cynthia gently called.

Lex looked over.

"You feel better already, darling," Cynthia asked.

"I decided to wait until I'm older to find the right boy," Lex warned her cousin softly.

"That's great, darling," Cynthia grinned.

"Thanks, Sis," Lex grinned back.
