- *Knock Knock* Rygel, are you up yet?

- I'll be right there...

Ah...I have an exam today...what was it again...oh right, History...

- Goodness! Why is this water so cold...

Ugh...I'm so tired I can't wash my face normally...I barely got any sleep last night. That dream...no...it's not a dream. It's a dreadful nightmare. I need to get to school so there is no time to tell Aunt Celia right now. 

It's alright...

I'll just...tell her in the weekend.

...yea...

- Bye Aunt Celia...

- Bye Rygel!

Aunt Celia seems to be in a good mood...is it because of the ceremony? It's probably because of that. The reason I can't talk to her these days is because she's so busy with the it...

It's alright though...

She'll be free...

Eventually...

2 Days Later

- Ahhh tomorrow's the weekend...I'm done with school. FOREVER! Hm? Aunt Celia?

- Yes yes, you must be very happy. Now where are the scissors? Did you see them dear?

- Ah. No, I haven't. I'll help you look for them.

- Oh yes please. That would be great.

Ah...scissors...scissors...there!

- I found it.

- That was quick...

- Here you go.

- Thank you dear.

I was hoping to tell her about my nightmares but I guess she's too busy...

Oh well...

Maybe tomorrow then...

The Next Day

- Mmm...Aunt Celia...what are you doing so early in the morning?

- Ah Rygel! Would you pass me that pencil?

- Hm? Okay.

- Thank you.

What is this long list? 

Looks like she'll be busy today too...

 Well, there's still some time before the ceremony. 

I'm sure she'll eventually be free.

That's what I kept telling myself...but the day she was free...never seemed to come...

And well...now, I'm here...

~ To be successful! Does not mean to always be right! But to learn from what you do wrong! To fail does not mean that the world has ended then and there! Failing helps gain experience, knowledge, and- ~

When. Will. This. End.....

I have been standing here...like an absolute statue. 

Yes I did talk...I said like a few words for the dumb speech and but then this random professor has appeared and has been talking for the last 30 minutes...

~So Dream big! And strive for a better future! Know your goals. And know your abilities. And finally, Congratulations graduates, you've made us proud!

- Mr. Random Professor

*Clap, Clap, Clap*

*Woohooooooooo*

*Congratulations~~~*

*Clap, Clap, Clap*

* Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay*

* Round of Applause*

*Clap, Clap, Clap*

Maya: We graduated Rygel! We graduated!!!!!

Rygel: Yes, we graduated.

Maya: I'd expect you to be happier!

Rygel: What do you mean, I'm elated.

Maya: Ah! It's my Mom! And Auntie Celia!

Rygel: Ah...

Maya's Mom: Maya!

Maya: Mom!

It's so cute to see Maya with her mom...

Would my mom have been there in another universe?

Oh those silly thoughts again...

Celia: Rygel!

Rygel: Ah! Auntie!

Celia: I'm so proud of you my dear!

Rygel: Thank you! You've worked really hard as well.

Celia: It was worth it don't you think?

Rygel: Yes. It really was.

After everyone saw their parents and family. 

We all sat for dinner.

I never expected our little island to have so many tables...well that's nothing compared to how many people there was...

I never expected our little island to have so many people either!

Of course I don't know them all, seeing as how I didn't know half of them existed. 

But I talked to quite a few people, professors, friends, it was a great time. 

The celebration lasted a few hours but then we all went home...

And I finally felt free...

-Haaaaaaaaah! I can finally rest...

- You were busy weren't you?

- Oh yes, this was a very busy day.

- I'm very proud of you Rygel, you did really great today as well.

- Thank you. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you Auntie.

- Ah. I got you...a little something.

- Hm? A present? Thank you so much!

- You're welcome.

- Oh my! Dangling gold earrings! Where did you get these?!

- That's not important now...Do you like them?

- I love them! Thank you so much...!

- I'm glad you liked them. It's quite late now isn't it? I'm going to bed. Goodnight Rygel.

- Goodnight...

My! 

These are so pretty. 

I wonder where she got them from...They look quite expensive...but oh well.

I'm really tired right now. And my birthday is really close, it's tomorrow. 

I'll be turning 18...

It makes me exited to think that I'll be an official adult tomorrow.

But whatever, right now, I should go to bed...
