[But Rachel - what if he already said hello? He smiles fondly]

You always do.

Well it's just that it doesn't have to be a bad thing or a time to be sad. It can be exciting and new. I mean defining yourself and starting again. It can be fun! And luckily Celine has a song about it.

[ shuffling through her iPod and oh yes there it is. Putting her ferret down and jumping to her feet. ]

She's a genius that way.

[ Pressing play so she could sing. It's Celine and the fact it's a song for someone else that get Rachel away from bed and into her natural elegant. ]

[And he can help but just smile because - because it's so right for their situation and the epic combination of the song, her talent and most of all - their connection is just overwhelmingly uplifting.

It's the first true smile he's smiled in so long, and it doesn't surprise him at all it she gets it out of him.]

[ That's the one thing that never fails to make Rachel feel better, singing. Inspiring others through songs is even better so she laughs a bit. ]

She's a pop goddess for a reason.

Pop goddess?

[Is Rachel a practitioner of the old religion?]

[tinkerbelling]

In a way that everyone loves her and she's worthy of adoration. And does pop songs and powerful love ballads.

So you call people who are well loved gods and goddesses? [But what about...religion.] What are - 'pop songs'?

video;

[tinkerbelling]

Just a few. We call them divas as well. There's Celine, Barbra, Dianna Ross, Mariah Carey. It's because people look up to them and their songs inspired a whole generation of singers and musical styles.

Pop it's well, a style. We have rock, pop, hip-hop. Celine is one of the most famous pop musicians.

[He's still confused but he tries to follow and nods. He doesn't need to delve into all of that right now.]

I..see.

They inspired me and one day I'll do the same for the world when I'll be a famous singer and a star.

[sworntovalor]

You already inspire me.

[tinkerbelling]

See? Today Sir Lancelot, tomorrow the world!

[He smiles fondly]

You've had me a long time ago, Rachel.

[ smiling. ]

See? it's fine. It's like Celine sang. Everything comes at the right time. Especially good things.

[And he now realizes just how true that is - something good has presented itself to him when he hit rock bottom, when he thought he could never pick himself back up. That helps his resolve a little, as shaky as it still might be.]

You're right.

[tinkerbelling]

That sometimes happen -

[sworntovalor]

More often than you realize.

[tinkerbelling]

I'm glad though. Starting over can be wonderful and I'm sure it'll be amazing.

[sworntovalor]

[It couldn't possibly be worse, could it?]

I do hope so.

[tinkerbelling]

Just smile. Let go, have fun. This is a good thing! It's exciting. I'm excited for you. You'll see it'll be fun.

[sworntovalor]

[He smiles for her. As for himself, he's more terrified than excited.]

With a friend like you, life always is.

[tinkerbelling]

I just know...it can be hard. Relationships and...

Just be strong. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere so.

[sworntovalor]

[This is why he dislikes using the Forge - if they were face to face he'd be getting a hug now.]

I will be, I promise. [He won't allow himself to give in to despair again.] Thank you.

[tinkerbelling]

It was my pleasure.

[sworntovalor]

And that is why you're so special.
