## Chapter One **;** *Sophie*

**It's a beautiful** autumn day when Sophie and Keefe decide to take a little stroll in the human world. "Ah, I could just stay here with you forever." Keefe says. It's so cute how Keefe talks on and on about how he could live next to her every day. Sophie knew exactly what Keefe would do. "I don't know Keefe, I'll want to go back to my home and you'll most likely change your mind if I leave." She replies as they continue down the path. "Oh ho, is that so? Maybe I'll spend the next three hours convincing you to stay here with me. Then we wouldn't have to worry about all the problems at home." Keefe argues. Once Sophie makes her mind, *no one* can change it. "Keefe, please stop. We need a new topic." She pleads. "Uh, yeah sure...Umm, why don't we make leaf angles?!" Keefe exclaims. He sure does have some crazy idea forming in his head. There are a bunch of leaf piles around them, all the trees are shedding leaves. "Leaf angles? That's a little crazy." Sophie comments. "Oh yeah?" Keefe replies as he scups Sophie up with one hand under her neck and the other under her leg. "Keefe! What are you doing? Stop! You'll trip running this fast with me in your arms!" Sophie yelled. Keefe was having a crazy big smile while he was running toward a humongous leaf pile. "It's okay, Foster. I got you!" He jumped into the leaves and Sophie's back fell right into the pile. Keefe thinks that's hilarious, he's laughing his head off right now. "Keefe, do you know how long it'll take me to brush out these leaf bits?" Sophie glared at him. Keefe is still wearing that smug smile. This is what she likes about him. No matter what gets him into trouble, he still has enough courage to do it. "Well, why don't we just have a bit of fun, cause you'll have to brush your hair anyway." Keefe insisted. At least she didn't hurt herself falling into this leaf pile. There's so much leaves here that it saved her from a hard landing. Sophie didn't want to ruin the fun, so she just went along with Keefe's fun ideas. "Okay, I guess we can try to make leaf angles, but I think there are too many leaves to do that." Seriously, how can there still be *more* leaves on these trees? This pile is so gigantic! "Fine, then we'll have a leaf fight"

What...A *leaf fight*? Sophie thinks in her head. "Oh!" Keefe just got a hand full of leaves and threw it over her head! Is that how you want to work? Fine, lets play. "I am so getting you for that." Keefe jumps away, just missing the leaves she tried to throw at him. How can he doge things so quickly? She needs to be extra fast to get him. "Come and get me!" Keefe hollered. She was definitely getting him. Faster, faster...Yes! "Ah-ha! Now, you'll need to brush your tangled blonde hair with me." Sophie declared as she smirked at him. Keefe smiles and picks leaves out of his hair. "You got me. Took you long enough!" Keefe laughs. He always makes things into fun adventures. That was really fun and tiring. Man, Keefe is fast! She needed to lay down for a second. "Snuggle time?" Keefe asks as he watches her lay in the leaves. Well, this leaf pile is big enough to fit him in. "Yes, Keefe. It's snuggle time." Sophie sighs as her muscles relax. They lay there for a few minutes. She wanted to do something else now.

"The sun is about to set, let's go grab a snack and watch the sunset." Sophie suggests. She really liked watching the sun rise and set. It's beautiful seeing the sun create different shades of color. "Great idea, where to get the snacks?" Keefe asks. Honestly, he doesn't really know where to go because they're in a world that elves are unfamiliar with. Good thing Sophie knows bunches of places to pick up snacks. She grew up in this world when she was a little girl. "I remember seeing an Auntie Anne's pretzel place. You've tried pretzels before, right?" Sophie asks. She forgot if Keefe tried pretzels yet or not. He's asked her to pick up so many human foods for him, she lost count. "I sure have, that cheese stuff that you dip them in is absolutely amazing!" Keefe makes an exhilarating sigh while he looks up into the sky. Whelp, apparently he has tried pretzels and he likes them a lot. Maybe he'll like the cinnamon pretzels? "Keefe, have you tried cinnamon pretzels?" Sophie asks. The cinnamon pretzels are pretty good. She has a sweet tooth and she'll definitely get them. "No, I don't think so." Keefe answers as they approach Auntie Anne's mini stand. What?! He has to try them, she's going to buy cinnamon pretzels for him whether he wants them or not.

"A large bucket of cinnamon pretzels please." Sophie orders their evening snack. "Wow, these are *really* good. It's very sweet!" Keefe states a fact. They sure are yummy. "Okay, let's sit in this pile of leaves, we can see the sun set pretty well from here" Sophie says. The sky was already a shade of red-orange color, it's beautiful. She leans over Keefe to grab some Pretzels from the bucket. "Yeah, this is a great spot. Very pretty sunset." Keefe announced. It was about seven o'clock maybe even later. Sophie decides to lean on Keefe's shoulder while they watch the night takeover. "I think we should head home now," Sophie suggests. It was getting pretty dark out. "You can sleep over at my house." Oh, maybe not...Her adoptive dad, Grady Ruewen, is very protective of her. He still thinks she too young to have a boyfriend. Sophie's Twenty-Two! Her dad often complains about having Keefe over all the time, but he'll eventually let it go. "Yes! That's a great idea! Will I be able to sleep with you though?" Okay, he's going over the edge. Keefe is *not* married to her yet. "Keefe, you're my *boyfriend*, not my husband yet. And my dad will probably freak if he catches us." Keefe makes a pouty face, he's going to keep pushing. "Okay, fine. But I'll get to sleep in your room?" To her surprise, he doesn't keep asking to sleep with her. "Yes, you can sleep *next* to my bed, not on it. Let's get going." Sophie grabs her light leaping crystal as Keefe does. They arrived at Havenfield, and when they open the door, Sophie's mom greets them. "Hello, Sophie, Keefe, did you both have fun on your little date?" Edaline asks. Apparently her mom knew *exactly* what they were doing. Sometimes it gets a little annoying when her parents get into her business. "Yes, mom, we had a great time." Sophie replies looking at Keefe. He just nods his head and smiles. Whoop, here comes dad. "What were *you two* doing tonight?" He makes a serious face when he asks that question. Ugh, why do parents have to know everything their kids do at all times? "That's between me and Keefe. We were just heading to my room." Sophie tries to not to roll her eyes at him. But this is getting old, she and Keefe have been dating for *months.* She leads Keefe up the stairs when she heard her parents wish her a goodnight sleep. "Jeez, your parents have to know everything you do?" Keefe asks once they enter Sophie's room. At least *he* noticed they are being overprotective. "They want to know, but it's getting to a point where I can't tolerate them asking me a bunch of questions about my dates." She replies before she makes a loud yawn. It was pretty late and she was tired. "Oh, okay." Thank goodness he doesn't interrogate her any further. She wanted to go to bed. As she headed to the bathroom to get changed, she saw that Iggy's fur is a different color. It's teal now and not purple anymore. Dex must have stopped by today. "Keefe, I'm going to go change in the bathroom." She didn't even wait for him to reply. She jumped into her pajamas and returned to her room. Keefe was already laying in his bed when she went over to lay in hers. This was a really fun day, she wants Keefe to live with her forever. "Goodnight, Foster. Sweet dreams." Keefe quietly says. "Goodnight Keefe, see you in the morning." Sophie whispers. She doesn't need anyone to help her sleep, no more nightmares. Sandor retired from his protecting job a while ago, She missed him. Sophie's eyes fluttered closed as she fell asleep.

## Chapter two ; Keefe

**Keefe woke to** Sophie trying to get out of bed quietly. "I'm so sorry, did I wake you up?" Sophie asks. She cared for him, she loved him and he loved her. He didn't want her to feel bad, so he partly lied, "No, I just woke up. It's alright." Sophie's face had doubt all over it. She always worried for him. And he loved that about her. He stood up and walked down stairs with her. Edaline and Grady were awake and they were setting up breakfast. And man, did it smell good. He is really hungry this morning. "Good morning, mom and dad." Sophie happily said. Good, she's in a good mood. So was he, today is a special day. He can't tell Sophie though, because he's going to surprise her later. They were planning on visiting Fitz and Biana today. Keefe didn't even tell them they were coming, Ha! They'll definitely be surprised seeing them arrive at their house unexpected. Though, Sophie told him to tell Fitz that they were coming... "Do you guys want breakfast?" Edaline asks. Oh yeah, he was super hungry, he could eat all that food off that table. "Yes! I am so hungry." Keefe excitedly says, but Sophie stares at him. "Keefe! Manners." Right, he forgot. Sophie is still teaching him to remember to have manners. He should be embarrassed, but he thinks it's funny that she has to tell him these things. "Sorry!" Keefe looks at Edaline and he politely says, "Please and thank you?" Edaline laughs and Grady motions for them to sit at the table. They sit down and Edaline assures Keefe that she's fine with his bad manners "Oh, Keefe, it's okay, we already assumed you two would be hungry." Nice, her parents know them a little too much--But who cares? Wait...Sophie does. She sure is one sensitive cute girl. "Good, sometimes Foster can be a bit too bossy with me." Keefe remarks. Oh, there is her glare! Ha, he knew she'd do that when he said that. She's too easy to annoy. "Okay, let's eat" Keefe says.

They arrived at Everglen and Keefe walked in like he owned the home. Just wait for Fitz to see they're here. His face will have his eye popping out. "Uhm, Keefe, didn't you tell them what time we were coming?" Sophie questioned. She's probably going to *not* be surprised he didn't notify them. Let's find out. "Just wait." Keefe orders. Sophie sometimes only has a hair of patience. "Hello? Did someone just open the door?" Biana's voice echoed down the stairs. "I'll get it!" Fitz hollered. Here he comes! This will be good and funny. Keefe is a trouble maker--but hey, he can't help himself. Sophie will most likely lecture him in the end. "Fitz, it's us. Sophie and Keefe." Sophie announced as Fitz came into view. There's the face he's been waiting to see! "Wait--you guys came over? Why didn't you knock, or at least tell us before hand?" Fitz's eyes were full of questions. Oh, and here's Biana! She looks even more surprised, she has her eyebrows high with her eyes wide. "We didn't expect you guys to come over, we would've cleared our agenda if we knew." Biana mentions. Oh, now Sophie is looking at him. She must've assumed what he did, because right now, that glare she's giving him could really kill someone. "Keefe, did you *not* prewarn them we were coming?" Sophie demanded an answer. "I thought it would be more fun to surprise them. I mean, did you see their faces when they saw us?!" Keefe exclaims. Surprising people and watching their reaction is the *best* thing to ever do. "Keefe. Really?" Sophie looks annoyed now. Guess she couldn't tolerate a little fun. "Fitz?" Keefe had to gasp at that voice. He totally forgot Fitz is dating Linh. *How could he forget?* "Linh is here?" Sophie asked. Fitz looked over and watched as she entered the room. Wow, she is really pretty--But not as pretty as Sophie! "Yes, we were actually going to go shopping today," Fitz answered. This is very convenient, Keefe is going to get Sophie something later. "Tam was coming with us too." Fitz continued. Tammy boy is going to be here, or is here? That's okay. Keefe and Tam became friends years ago, turns out they have a lot in common. Keefe also needed to go shopping, shopping for Sophie, obviously. "Can we join you guys?" Keefe *needed* to do some shopping. "Sure" Linh replies. Thank goodness. Now he'll convince them to have only the boys do shopping in one part of the city and the others in the opposite part.

They were in Atlantis shopping, and Keefe wanted to buy stuff for Sophie without her knowing. Good thing his plan worked, he was with Fitz and Tam and Sophie was with Linh and Biana. "Guys, let's go into that jewelry store." Keefe strode toward the store and the others followed. Keefe was going to get Sophie something *very* special. She's going to happy sob over it. "I'm guessing you're getting Sophie some jewelry?" Tam assumed. Yes, that is correct. Keefe is going toward the corner of the store where there's a sign that spells R-I-N-G-S. "Yep, this is a very special spot and you guys have to help me choose one for her. There's too many options." Keefe literally couldn't choose. There were thick ones with diamonds on it, some were plain, others were very sparkly, and so on. "I like the plain ones." Tam doesn't have a good taste in fashion. Well, in Keefe's opinion. Honestly, Sophie would most likely rather the plain ones. She's a girl who doesn't like standing out. "Actually, Sophie would probably rather the plain ones too." Keefe comments. He knew she would and he'll get the same type of ring to match hers. "Uh, Keefe. Do you know what size her finger is?" Fitz *had* to ask. Good thing he did! "Yes, Fitz. I'm not *that* stupid. I've been planning this trip for like, three weeks." Keefe answered his rather silly question.

When the boys met up with the girls, almost all of them had their hands full of shopping bags. Tam only got a couple of things for Biana and Linh. Keefe had about three bags in his hands. He hid the rings in his pockets so Sophie wouldn't accidently find them. "Hey boys, how was your shopping?" Biana asked while she was struggling to hold about eight bags in her hands. "It was great. What about you girls?" Fitz responded first. Keefe could see Tam take a few bags out of Biana's hands into his. Such cute love. "It was *amazing* there were so many pet stores to look at over there!" Linh exclaimed. She is the biggest pet fan ever. When there were baby alicorns, she would cuddle with them for *hours.* "Nice, let's go back to Everglen, so we can show each other what we got." Fitz suggests. They all pull out their light leaping crystals and away they go.

## Chapter three ; Sophie

**Sophie and the** others arrived at Everglen and they all sat in the living room with their shopping bags. Sophie didn't really buy much, she only had two bags in her hands. "So, who shows their stuff first?" Biana wanted to know. Sophie didn't want to go first, she got the least things out of everyone there. "I vote for Foster!" Keefe yelled, Sophie glares at him while Linh is nodding her head. Come on, really Keefe? Ugh, fine I'll just go. "Sophie? You want to go?" Fitz asked. Sophie just stared at him and said, "I guess." she started to take things out of the first bag. "I got some Butter-Toffees for myself, and for anyone who wants some," she explained. Butter-Toffees are Sophie's favorite dessert. She actually only got some for herself, but she didn't want to be selfish so she offered some to the others. She finishes showing her stuff and almost everyone else does, Keefe still had to go. "Okay, I got a few things for Sophie and some stuff for me." Keefe says. Wow, he's so sweet. He got stuff for her when he didn't need to. *Keefe is the absolute best.* Keefe gives her the things he got for her and Tam thinks it's time for dinner. "Okay, who wants to eat?" Tam was curious. Actually, Sophie was hungry. They head to the dinning room and Fitz's parents already had set the table and they even made dinner. "Sorry, I need to use the restroom." Keefe has the worst timing for things. *"*Okay, but be quick." Sophie wanted to eat dinner next to him. This food looked delicious. They all sat down and started to eat. "So, what did you kids do today? Anything fun?" Alden asks. Biana spent hours looking for dresses while Linh was adoring the pets. Sophie just followed and went into a few food stores. "Yes, we had loads of fun! We went shopping in Atlantis." Biana answered before anyone else could. Sophie wasn't the biggest fan of shopping. "That's great to hear." Della replies and she shoves a spoon full of food into her mouth. Ugh, where is Keefe? He's going to miss dinner, he needs to hurry.

They all finished dinner--except Keefe. He took his sweet time in the bathroom. Where is he? Sophie really wanted him to eat with her--Too late now. "Keefe missed our whole dinner" Sophie complained. She couldn't believe how bad his timing was. "I know, I know! But I also had to grab something. Patience, Foster." Keefe's voice filled the room. Where did he even come from? At least he was here now. "We were just headinug outside, prefect timing Keefe." Linh says. Perfect timing? He missed our whole dinner! Keefe better have a good explanation for this. "Alright, then lets head outside." Tam orders. They were planning on relaxing down by the lake before Keefe suddenly showed up. They got to the lake and Sophie noticed that Keefe was shifting a lot. Was he nervous about something? He was definitely hiding *something* from her. "Who wants to swim?" Biana asks. Swimming sounded fun, Keefe looked at Sophie, "Hey, can you feel how cold it is for me?" he requested. She went onto the dock and knelt down to stick her hand in the lake water. It was a little cold, not too bad. They could swim in this temperature water. Before Sophie could get up, she felt a push on her back and she went face first into the water. "Agh, who did that?!" Sophie coughed up water. *That* was not fun. She turned to see Keefe laughing on the dock. She's going to make him get in with her now. "The scream you made before you fell was hysterical!" Keefe seemed to enjoy it. Everyone else was laughing too, Biana jumped in with Tam.

Sophie swam to the dock and looked up at Keefe. "Help me up, Keefe." She demanded help. Keefe obeys and Sophie smirked as she griped his hand. She put her feet against the dock legs and pulled away as hard as she could. Keefe yelps as he falls right on top of her. Ouch, she didn't think of the pain before she pulled him in. "Nice one, you got me there." Keefe laughs and splashes her. Finally, Sophie got him back for all the pranks he played on her before. Fitz jumps into the water behind Keefe and he quickly swims toward him then dunks his head into the water. "Now, you got the proper punishment for that." Fitz declared while everyone else just laughs. Even Keefe laughs. Well, until he suddenly doesn't and he makes a serious face. "Oh, no, no, no. I think they fell out of my pocket, Fitz!" Keefe looked at Fitz and just dives underwater. What did he mean by that? Was it important? "Fitz, what did he lose?" Sophie needs an answer. Keefe could be under there for eight minutes looking for the things that fell for all she knows. "Uh--uhm... Tam, would you like to explain to her?" Fitz stares at Tam. What do they know that she doesn't? Ugh, just answer quickly! "Someone, just answer please." Sophie requested. Keefe probably swam all the way across the lake, not knowing where he even is. Fitz openes his mouth but then closes it. Sophie felt a tickle on her leg and she shrieked, jumping away from the spot she was in. Ew, what was that? A fish? A Worm? A shadow swam closer to her legs and she realized it was Keefe. He griped her legs and stood up, making Sophie a lot taller. "Keefe, what did you lose? The boys refused to tell me." Sophie questioned him. Why wouldn't they answer her simple question?! "Well, Sophie. The 'thing' I lost, was actually nothing." Keefe smirked. Why did he always have to make a scene out of *everything*? She looks at Keefe in the eyes before he sets her back down in the water. Sophie was about to ask why the boys were stammering over their sentences earlier when Keefe lost "Nothing". But after she stands in the water, Keefe splashes her and pushes her into the water with her back landing first into it. Now, she really was choking on that water. Why would Keefe do that? When Sophie surfaced, Keefe was holding something in each of his hands. Both of hands folded over the things he was holding. She glared at him when she saw that he was smiling. "Really, Keefe? You almost choked me to death! That's not funny!" Sophie yelled. Keefe just laughed and nodded his head toward his hands. "Which hand? Choose one." Keefe ordered. What kind of prank was he playing? Sophie just pointed to the one on her right. Keefe opens it and...there's a ring? She couldn't help but gasp as Keefe says, "Great choice! Now, will you next choose to marry me?" Sophie has been waiting for this moment for a while. Her eyes welled with tears, Keefe was really proposing to her. "Yes! yes, Keefe. Yes, I'll marry you!." Sophie exclaims happily. She lets him slip the ring on her finger. He gives her a same style rings to put on him. "I love you more than you know" Keefe declared. Sophie just laughs and happy sobs as Keefe picks her up and heads to shore.

Everyone was elated about the news and they celebrate by eating dessert inside and dancing. Sophie couldn't believe she was Keefe's fiancé--but she should. She's too happy to even be worried. Keefe dances with her and they do some fancy moves. Keefe is smiling as crazy as Sophie is. She couldn't wait to announce this to her parents. Now they'll have no choice but to welcome Keefe into their family line. Keefe positions Sophie with her back bent a little and he leans over her while they begin to kiss. She could feel Keefe smiling while he kisses her, she didn't blame him. Sophie was also smiling.

"This was a fantastic day, it was so much fun. Thanks Fitz and Biana for organizing the day." Sophie thanks them while she begins to fetch her light leaping crystal out of her pocket. "Hey, no problem guys. You're always welcome to come over." Fitz replies. "Bye, see you guys later. Goodnight." Biana adds to the conversation. "Bye, goodnight." Keefe and Sophie both say. They show their crystals to the last bit of sunlight and they glitter away.
