Kole found his cheeks starting to hurt from how much he was smiling. The evening was going wonderfully! Well, aside from the intrusion of Franklin, the evening was going wonderfully. It was all too soon that the darkest part of the night came, and the fair workers were starting to usher the crowd out.
After more rides (and trying to talk Kyllian into the more earthbound rides) and snacks and a fireworks show, Kole was happily sleepy. He was usually a night dweller, but he'd been up early to worry so much about today going right. He looked around at the group and smiled brightly. Even Franklin really hadn't been that much of a bore. To make a point though, he dared to reach over and take Edith's hand, cheeks warming slightly. Edith was his friend first, not Franklin's. "I had a lotta fun," he said, looking between Edith and Kyllian. "Do you wanna come back tomorrow evening?"
Franklin had stuck close to Edith the whole evening, trying to get her attention away from Kole. Every time he tried to sneak her away, the two boys were on top of them. Though irritated that they couldn't take the hint, he still smiled and reached to poke Edith's cheek with his finger. "I had a lot of fun with you, too! Please, say I can see you again!"

After the gentle coaxing by Kole and the more exuberant nudging from Edith, Kyllian had rode a few more rides, albeit ones closer to the ground. They weren't necessarily his style, but he had to admit, it was a lot more fun with friends to share with. Where had the evening gone? One moment they were talking about possibilities and the next carnies were shutting off lights. The child, being a day dweller himself, was practically dead on his feet with exhaustion.
"I'm game." Kyllian smiled stuffing his hands into his pockets with a yawn.
Edith wasn't surprised when her eyelids started to droop. She was sleepy enough to curl up in a tree and doze the night away, but she was so happy. When Kole took her hand she naturally accepted it and gave the appendage a squeeze. She shook her head. Oh she'd love to come back!
A silent giggle came out when her cheek was poked and she swatted at Franklin with a grin. She nodded, and shifted her Teddiursa to the crook of her arm so she could give Franklin a hug with her free arm. There was a fervent nod as well. She would love to see him again! She had fun tonight with all of her friends, didn't she? And he was included, of course!

Kole smiled brightly. Coming out again with Edith- and Franklin?! He had to work to keep from groaning. Well, she was allowed to have other friends. As long as that other friend knew his place....
"Okay! Get lots of sleep then! I'll try to get here earlier than today, so we can do more! We'll see you then!" Giving Edith a grin, he turned and grabbed Kyllian's arm to head back home. He was walking on the clouds. They'd had such a good time!
Franklin smiled with relief as the two went their separate way. Now was a chance! Not long, but it was something. He waited for the boys to be out of earshot, and turned to Edith. "May I walk you home? It's late, after all."

Kyllian gave Edit and Franklin a big salute and wrapped his arm up with Kole's. "Be careful on your way back home." Of course he meant it for them both, but he was more worried about Edith. She flew in, so he was sure she would fly back. Would she be okay to?
Eh, if Kole wasn't worried, then why should he be? She was a tough cookie! Kyllian grinned and padded off with his friend, just as excited for a good nights rest as he had been for the carnival.
Edith pulled a little ball of twine out of her bag and secured her teddiursa about her waist so she wouldn't accidentally drop it on the way home. She waved Kole and Kyllian off, jumping up on the balls of her feet with a big smile, wings unfurled behind her.
Turning her attention to Franklin, Edith put a finger on her lips. The walk was a longer one, possibly out of his way, but he had offered and it was late...So, with a nod, she took Franklin's hand and started to walk back home.
