Stella walked through the halls until she reached Penelope's throne room.

Penelope looked surprised to see her. "Oh? What brings you here? And where's Starlight?"

"In his room... I've come to talk to you..."

Penelope tilted her head. "What about?"

Stella hesitated. "I... I want to come back."

Penelope stared in disbelief. "You... Want to come back... Rejoin us?"

Stella nodded. "Yes..."

Penelope hummed. "So you've finally learned your lesson?"

Stella looked down, slowly nodding. "...Yes... They aren't... aren't worth my protection..." She admitted softly.

Penelope sighed seeing how heartbroken she was. "Oh, my little one..." She knelt down and looked at her. "I told you that he didn't love you..." She gently rubbed Stella's cheek with her finger.

About this time Kala came in, a bit beaten up but was taken by surprise at the sight before him. He hesitated coming any further.

Stella sniffed, starting to cry. "I-I j-just wanted him to be safe..."

Penelope sighed softly, continuing to gently rub her cheek, shrinking down so she could wipe Stella's tears away. "Do you promise to obey all that we tell you too?"

She looked up at her and nodded.

Kala shrunk and came over and Penelope explained what was going on.

He hummed as he watched. "And you won't go back to fighting against us?"

Stella took a deep breath before shaking her head. "... No."

Penelope looked at Kala before they turned to Stella.

"Why did you decide this?" Penelope asked her.

Stella hesitated. "You've been right. You always have been..."

Penelope smiled a little at that. "Well, what can I say, Mother knows best." She told her before stepping back and nodding at Kala and the two spread their hands out and chanted something and Stella was surrounded by a bright light and when it died down, her appearance changed. 

Her skin was a soft purple, her ears became pointed and stuck through her hair which turned a deep full purple. She gained horns that were shaped somewhere in between Kala and Penelope's. Her outfit changed into a dark indigo dress and she wore a pink circlet with blue gems and a choker of the same color scheme.

She looked up at them, tears brimming her eyes and they both smiled at her and pulled her into their embrace.

"Welcome home, Phoebe. We missed you."

"...I... I missed you too... Mom, Dad..."

(Surprise!! Also We will be working on Phoebe's ref soon and get it up for all you guys! - Molly)
