Kaylessa had recognized the crystal Raverie used to leap away. It was the same crystal they always used to get to their special hideout. She dug out her old Neverseen crystal that she never bothered to return and spun the facet to the one that would lead her to her old treehouse.

Kaylessa appeared smack dab in the front of a tree and she almost fell over. She craned her head to look at the petite treehouse perched on the uppermost branches of the large tree.

She climbed the rope ladder leading inside, the one Raven, Ruy, and Kaylessa had installed so you couldn't enter if you didn't want to do an ab workout.

She opened the small swinging door and peeked inside. Raverie was leaning against the walls of the treehouse staring outside of the window across from her.

The small wooden treehouse was decorated with colorful rugs and small cushion chairs with a mini coffee table in the middle, like a miniature cottage. Ruy had chosen the theme, leaving Raven and her to actually decorate.

"Raverie?" Kaylessa asked as she crawled towards her best friend. Raverie glanced at her.

"Kaylessa," she said a bit stiffly.

"I'm sorry I left you. I really didn't want to. You were one of my best friends ever and I didn't want to leave," Kaylessa apologized. She sat down in front of Raverie, forcing her to look at her.

"Why did you leave?" Raverie asked.

"I didn't want to destroy everything. I still hate the council, but what have we really done?" Kaylessa explained after a thoughtful pause, her voice almost hushed.

"Ruin lots of things," Raverie answered, sighing a little. "You're right. I think I only stayed in the Neverseen for . . . Ruy." Raverie looked a little sheepish. Kaylessa smiled.

"You know, I think you like him," Kaylessa grinned. Raverie snorted.

"You're just now figuring this out?" Raverie laughed.

"Well, not really," Kaylessa beamed. "Ruy likes you too, you know." She said the last part only barely above a whisper. Raverie rolled her eyes but smiled.

"Friends?" Kaylessa asked. Raverie shook her head.

"Best friends," Raverie corrected. She pulled Kaylessa into a hug and held on tightly. When they pulled away, both of them were laughing hard.

"I might quit the Neverseen," Raverie said.

"What about Ruy?" Kaylessa asked. Raverie chuckled as Kaylessa tilted her head in question.

"Who says I'll stop talking to him?" Raverie grinned. Kaylessa laughed and there was a friendly silence.

"You know, I would've cried if you said no," Kaylessa said, giggling a little. Raverie gawked and Kaylessa burst into a new wave of laughter.

"You? No way. I would've cried if you hadn't come," Raverie snorted. Kaylessa moved to sit next to Raverie against the wall.

"You? No way," Kaylessa jokes. Raverie rolled her eyes playfully and punched her in the arm. Kaylessa copied Raverie and pulled her knees up to bang them against Raverie's. Raverie stuck her tongue out and Kaylessa mimicked her.
