[Gwneodlen whined and tried to reach for her] "No! I am the queen! I am meant for it! You didnt want it, you gave it to me!! It is where I belong!!" "You do not belong anywhere, imposter!! You are just a flake, stuck in her own fantasies! and you are falling apart now, and you deserve it!" Her laughter rang as Gwendolen began sinking into a pool of darkness. "noo!!! Lenny!! Help me!!
[Allen didn't seem to be able to hear Gwendolen's words at all. He kissed Rillanne's hand again, laughing...]
- Nooo!
[Gwendolen cried - And then, the castle and balcony were gone in a swirl of sparkles, and an silver haired woman was smiling at her, beautiful and serene.]
...Why, it's you again...
[She smiled, and then waves to a table that hadn't been there a moment ago. It had a teakettle with a tea cosy on top, along with lots of scones, cream, and other kinds of food.]
But it's all good - Those nasty little red eyed things can't bother us here, anyway, after all...
[She means the mirror images, of course.]
[And then the woman smiled at her, and picked the tea kettle up.]
[Gwendolen looked at her blearily] "W-who are you...?" [..an angel..? a fairy..? she felt a sort of comfor from her, similar to from she felt from her mother. But the darkness in her reared in dislike] "A friend.." She poured her some tea and treats "Really, you are fortunate that you were in this world with them. In some worlds they realy mess you p more. Even until you become a hideous monster yourself, swamped in all your own negative feelings, with no more hope.... I hate to say it, but she were starting to edge close. But, there still is hope for you."
[Gwendolen stared at her some more, and then plopped down on the comfortable looking chair.]
...Tea, please?
[And the white haired lady laughed, and served her some tea along with a big helping of scones with cream and jam.]
- Bon Appitite, my dear! Good food always makes things better, I think.
[Gwendolen bit into one of the scones, grimacing, but then smiled a bit as she actually tasted it.]
...It's good!
[She then paused, and looked at the beautiful lady. The lady didn't look young, really, but she did look beautiful and regal, she thought. Gwendolen twitched a bit, wondering if she was going to look as good as this when she was old and white haired.]
[But anyway -]
...What did you mean by "It's you again, though? Did I ever meet you before?
[And now it was the lady's turn to pause, a scone half to her lips.]
- You're right. That's odd - I was so sure I'd just seen you recently...
[And she tilted a head again, her cape billowing behind her.]
[Gwendolen blinked again. That cape...]
[And then she stared, as the billowing cape turned into the exact shape that the shadowy thing she'd seen earlier for a moment.]
[...So just why had the Mirror Images seem to hate that shadowy thing, again?]
[The regal lady, however, did not seem to realize anything was strange.]
- But never mind that, my dear - For now, I want to ask you a question.
[And she took another sip of her tea, smiling.]
...What's your name, Young Miss? I think you might be a relative of some kind, you see, since you did manage to come here in the first place and all...

[Serena stared at the strange shadow, sweatdropping.]
- You're looking for serenity, Ma'am? I had no idea that peace of mind was the sort of thing one could just misplace...
[And the shadow laughed at her, gently but oddly menacingly.]
...You'll be surprised at the things one keeps misplacing, once one gets older, my dear...
[And then it tilted her head, looking at her.]
Youth is sooo precious! It's really wasted on the young, don't you think?
[And then, it disappeared, just like that.]
[Serena stared at the empty garden, then, and put her arms around herself.]
[So what had happened, just now?]
[And later that night...]
[Gwendolen was wandering around in a nightmare.]
[Her castle in the Gold Kingdom was right there, but even though she walked and walked, it always seemed to float away, just out of reach.]
[And then, the castle windows opened - And a blonde girl came out, Allen at her side.]
...I'm so glad you came home to us, my lady Rillanne...
[He said, and then knelt down and kissed her hand. Rillanne laughed as he did that, and then looked at Gwendolen, a mocking expression on her face.]
- See, Imposter? I have everything back, now. Everything.
[She said, while Allen looked up at her with an adoring expression on her face, not seeming to hear her words at all.]
...And now - I am the Queen!
