Divus 3 - Goodbye

The third episode of the Divus series.

## **Synopsis**

Alex Foxx is moving to Sweden and saying goodbye to everyone. Penny realizes Alex's gift has more meaning than she originally thought and chases after him to stop him from leaving.

## **Plot**

Alex is finishing packing up his stuff with the help of Vulpini. Penny and Pyrus are present, presumably to also help Alex move.

Alex checks with his sister that she's going to take care of his stuff after he leaves, she replies that it's no problem. Penny and Alex share a heartfelt goodbye, each wishing the other a good life and saying that they enjoyed being roommates. Alex looks over to Pyrus and begins to say goodbye, but then decides that he doesn't actually care to. Alex leaves to the bus-stop and Penny, Vulpini, and Pyrus are left alone.

Penny looks dejected, but Vulpini cheerfully begins to pick up boxes to take downstairs. Pyrus offers to help her, but she says that she's just going to shape-shift into a muscular dude that she saw at the gym. Pyrus seems shocked, and it is evident that this is the first time he's heard about her powers. Penny is concerned as Vulpini can only use her powers for a limited time and Penny doesn't think Vulpini can get all of the boxes down in that time.

Vulpini tells her not to worry about it, but before she can leave, she notices the amulet that Alex gave Penny a few episodes prior. She seems surprised and says that the necklace looks exactly like the Foxx family heirloom. Pyrus asks her what she means, and she tells him that her grandfather gave it to her grandmother (also named Vulpini) as token of his love. The amulet was passed on to Vulpini's dad, who gave it to her mother, who then gave it to Alex so that he could give it to his future love.

Penny is shocked and tells Vulpini that Alex had given her the amulet. Vulpini chuckles and says that the necklace must be the same heirloom. Pyrus sighs in frustration and asks Vulpini to honestly tell them why Alex decided to move to Sweden, saying that it couldn't have just been because of the job. Vulpini relents that Alex did have another reason to leave. Penny, not sure what she means, asks why.

Vulpini spills the beans that Alex left because he was in love with Penny, but didn't want to get in between her new relationship with Pyrus. Pyrus puts his hand on Penny's shoulders and gently tells her to go after Alex. Penny is confused, asking him about their relationship, but Pyrus lets her know that he's always been aware that she still had feeling for Alex, and that he thinks she would be happier with him, even if Alex is a dork and an airhead.

Penny thanks him and leaves. Pyrus sighs and sits on the couch with Vulpini, obviously dejected. Vulpini tells him that what he did was very honorable, to which he replies that he didn't want to get in between what Penny and Alex had. He then goes on to sadly hypothesize that maybe, with more time, he and Penny could have had something more serious.

To cheer him up, Vulpini asks him if he wants to hide Alex's stuff. He's surprised at first, but laughs and tells her he's interested. Vulpini also laughs and tells him he reminds her of her girlfriend, Kaiyo.

The scene shifts and Penny is now running towards the bus-stop to catch Alex before he gets on the bus. Before she can get there, she runs into Olivia who is selling goodies for her school's fundraiser. Olivia tells her that if she buys five treats, Olivia will throw in a good feeling. Penny tells her she doesn't understand, and then asks her if she's seen Alex, to which Olivia tells her she hasn't. Penny tells her that she doesn't have time to buy cookies at that moment, but that she'll stop by after she's found Alex.

Hendry, Olivia's older brother, shows up, and she asks him if Alex is his badger friend. He shakes his head "no" and Olivia is confused.

Penny makes it to the bus-stop and is upset to find out that Alex's bus has already departed, she sits on the bench sadly while Alex walks up behind her with an armful of cookies that Hendry had made him buy from Olivia. Neither of them notice the other, and Alex mockingly imitates Hendry forcing him to buy cookies. Alex gasps when he looks at the bus schedule and realizes he's missed his bus. Penny, finally noticing him, calls his name and he drops his cookies in surprise.

Alex asks her what she's doing at the bus-stop, and if she's here with Pyrus. Penny tells him that her and Pyrus broke up. Alex excitedly asks her "really" before pretending to be sad about the break-up.

Penny tells Alex that she has something to say to him, before admitting that she's in love with him and has waited five years to tell him. Alex sighs happily and tells her that he feels the same. The two embrace and Alex apologizes for not realizing his feelings sooner. They kiss, and the episode fades out.
