Here's chapter 24! Sorry it took so long. I was a little busy for another project for Valentine's Day. Here you go!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, all birds, pigs, eagles, and Leslie tiredly walked out each of their cabins, and went up the deck when Aggie called them all through the P.A. system. She didn't say why they all have to go up to the main deck, but Aggie said herself they have to.
Most of the hatchlings, piglets, and eaglets were so excited for no reason as they ran up the stairs to the main deck, while the grown-ups were still tired when they just woke up from their sleep as they slowly walked up the stairs.
"Ugh, why does Aggie wants us to wake up this early and meet us at the deck? It's too early!" Leonard yawned.
"She can't call us to get up there for no reason. It's probably urgent. So, we have too," Bomb answered.
"I know Aggie is more of a day bird, and sometime didn't sleep 7-8 hours, but I never knew she's an early bird," Silver said.
"That's because she's not!" Red snapped, "Try to know her better first before jumping into conclusions. You know that!"
"Gee, Red..." Chuck was quite shock when Red shouted at his sister like that.
"Don't say a word, Chuck!" Red held a wing up, "I know what I'm doing!" He walked up pass Chuck and Silver.
The two Speedster siblings were concerned how Red snapped at them like that. It's like he's angry at them. It seemed because of the same reason. The two just kept themselves quiet for a while, still feeling guilty for breaking Red and Aggie apart for good.
When they all reached the main deck, everyone was surprise of what they in the entire deck. The main deck was like a house party. The place is so colorful. There was two buffet tables of each sides of the deck. The tables have fish, bread, pastries, ice creams, chocolate fountain, and drinks (punch, juice, beer, and soda). There are streamers and triangular banners hanging above, and balloons tied up on the railings. A karaoke machine sat on the corner, ready for someone to sing. A boombox with music cd sat near an outlet. There was also a large rectangular pool at the center, a big bounce house at the other corner near one of the buffet tables, a platform with light bulbs around it, and colorful confetti all over the deck.
"Wow, look at this place!" Leslie explained.
"I haven't seen a party look like this since... our wedding," Mighty Eagle recalled.
When everybody made it on deck they all look around in amazed that the whole deck is full party decorations and food.
"Ooohhhh, chocolate fountain!" Chuck ran towards the chocolates, and was about to lay a finger on it.
But then, something popped out of the chocolate fountain, "SURPRISE!"
"AAH!" Chuck screamed in fear, and jumped into Red's wings, "Hold me!"
Aggie jumped out of the chocolate fountain, covered with chocolate, "Good Morning, everyone! Glad you're all here! Welcome to my party!"
"Wait, you made this party? All by yourself?" Glenn asked.
"Yep. It's a lot of work, but it's fine," Aggie explained, "Since we all have a hard time back in Magic Island, and it's clearly all my fault, I decided to make a party while travelling all the back to our homes. To lighten you guys a bit, and liven up our trip."
"Oh, Ags, you don't have to do that," Stella cooed.
"I don't have to, I want to! And I also made a runway for you who want to show up their style and clothes!" Aggie added, "So, what do you guys think?"
Gale was seen with happy tears in her eyes, holding back her tears. She was so happy that she finally have a runway that she always wanted.
"Uh, Gale, are you okay?" Aggie placed her wing on Gale's shoulder.
Much to her surprise, Gale hugged Aggie tightly while crying, "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Aggie! This is exactly what I want for the cruise ship! Thank you so much! Oh, I better get the clothes I'd created," Gale rushed back down stair to find her cabin, and to get the dress she made.
"Wait up, Gale! I made some, too!" Ruby shouted as she followed the purple bird.
When the two birds left, Aggie still has something to confess to the pigs and eagles since they don't know her very much.
"Listen, everyone, I am very very sorry for what happened. I know you were all mad at me for almost killing you all, and I know you still haven't forgive me. I really want to ask for your forgiveness. All of you," She looked down to her talons, and her wings behind her back, "I know you probably don't want to forgive me now. The truth is, I wasn't angry when all of my hard work of fitting in was ruined when all of us lived in peace now. That's what I've been wish for : Peace, harmony, and friendship between our groups. And, since that, I want to know you better and hang out with you guys, and I want to show to you that I'm not as evil as you thought I am. I don't want to force you, but I hope you could forgive me someday."
The pigs and eagle glanced at each other and one another for a second, and smiled.
"Of course we forgive you," Carl said in an honest way, "Sure, it might've stung a little bit when you tortured and almost killed us all, but the reason we're still around is because it's been so much fun hanging out with you."
"Yeah, and it was really shocking if you succeedingly kill us, you'll erase the whole universe's memories of us that we ever existed, but it's not like we weren't used to that from you!" Earl the musical pig added.
"Of making you feel forgotten?" Aggie repeated.
"No. Being angry at us when you were upset," Pinky corrected, "We realized you were upset, but we never knew that time because you're always smiling and lying that you're okay. It was clearly also our fault."
"OF COURSE IT WAS!" Aggie shouted angrily, recalling the moment that she blamed them all for making her life worse, but she calmed down for a moment, and cleared her throat, "Sorry. I promise to be patient and open up whenever I thought you made a mistake to em."
"And everything what you did, we didn't take it personally," Jerry patted the sparrow on the back, "No hard feelings now."
"But it's really great that it's all over," a pig sighed in relief.
Aggie felt like beaming. She was sure that the pigs and the eagle forgave her for real. She knew that they haven't forgave her yet when they were still in Magic Island, but this time, their tone was real forgiveness, "Since you haven't had breakfast yet, I already made a lot since I'll feed the whole three islands. So you all go on and eat, and have some fun at the same time. Enjoy!"
"Last one to the bounce house is a rotten egg or bacon!" Leslie shouted as he rushed to the direction of the bounce house.
Some of the hatchlings, piglets and eaglets followed Leslie as quick as possible so they won't be called rotten when they came last.
"Hey, don't bounce when your eating or after eating!" Aggie warned.
While the rest of the birds, pigs and eagles split up to help themselves eating food on the buffet tables, Aggie and her friends stayed on their spot.
