The Biggest Top's Goodbye [Lia's and Rita's Epilogue]

The blonde sat idly at the edge of her now stripped bed, only a mattress on it that would soon be removed as well. She looked outside, towards the Sun in the sky, as many an employee helped tear down the various tents and facilities for the Biggest Top. It really was closing down, and soon, they would leave the Azores for good... Rita grasped her phone in her hand, still looking at the latest call she made, to Kitty. Her first and really one of her best friends. Beneath those were calls to Laura, who was basically her older sister at this point, and Crymson, who needed no introduction. It seemed Crymson was the one most shaken up with her decision. It wasn't easy to simply drop out after so many years of hard work, but really... continuing through High School wouldn't sate her passion for working here.

"Well... I guess we're finally leaving. Heh, it's a bit sad... but I'm satisfied." Rita got onto her feet and walked over to her closet, only one remaining set of clothes stood there on just a few hangers. She didn't take much time to change into them, finishing it by putting on a pair of black fingerless gloves. As she finished, her golden bracelets reappeared on her wrists, a clear sign that, despite Azores' trials being over, finally, she still retained the Potential. Unlike her brother, she could still fight... surprisingly.

Calmly, after folding the clothes she was just in onto her bag, the former silvernette stepped out of her room and took a turn, quickly opening the door to her lover's side, knocking.

"Rise and shine, sweetheart. How are you feeling? Gotten any better?" Rita bore a warm smile, now devoid of any further regret she might have had. It was time to let the past go... and just look at the future, a future with Lia. Yeah... she could accept this. Everyone was doing their own thing and now... she was doing hers.

"We should go check up on her now, don't you think?"

Lia yawned and suddenly jumped awake. She certainly felt better today. She was tired of sleeping after so long, and training was on the way, especially for the little one now. Her eyes were still marked from the event before, but she still seemed right as rain, if albeit with a few more screws loose. She looked to Rita. "I feel very well. Maybe we should exercise today. I haven't done it in a day, all because of you. So let's get rolling," she said with a face that seemed to refuse any kind of resistance. She got up from bed, and began to leave and dress up, before coming back in record time in her outfit.

"So I guess this means we get to wake her up? I haven't seen her in a day or two; is she getting used to the place?" She wasn't too nervous about the new one, and something just compelled her to do what she did. Maybe it was because of her own past, which was odd in a way, and yet it was sweet. She only wondered what she would grow up into.

Rita quipped, smirking. "Hey now, don't put all the blame on me! Besides, we're just fine now. Just make sure not to push yourself." The blonde was happy, it seemed that Lia had made a full recovery and was just as she remembered. Well, maybe a little more hyperactive, but that was honestly fine with her. It was nice seeing a smile on her face, it reminded her of what she fought for.

"Yeah, I don't think she'll have any trouble getting adjusted at all. I'm glad we brought her in... there are so many kids who don't get a chance to have nice parents, it's honestly sad. But we can't bring them all, right?" Rita chuckled and turned around, exiting the room and waiting for Lia. "You know, I wasn't so sure about her name first, but I think it kinda fits her now." As soon as the performer came over to her, Rita wrapped her hands around her waist, reaching up to give her a kiss on her cheek.

"Mio... kinda sounds like Lia, actually." She giggled and let her go, stepping out of their small house. "She should be just waking up around now, I tried to spend the day with her yesterday to get her introduced to the rest of the guys. Hehe, it's funny, she kinda reminds me of when I was a kid, hiding behind my leg and all. Aaah... I'm glad Dad let us take her in, I don't think life will be the same from now on." The blonde turned towards where they let Mio sleep for the night with a sheepish smile. If Lia wanted to go right now, she would go too, but she was honestly a bit nervous... after the way she reacted to them, it was easy to get a bit awkward at first.

Lia looked at her as though she was crazy. "I want to bring in a bunch of kids from over the world into the circus. Until I die. That's my plan when I...take over," she said, frowning. The prospect of taking over would be both daunting and sad. She didn't want to take her father's place for giving her so much. She smiled in spite of it though. "Mio doesn't sound like Lia. They don't even rhyme!" Before they could move on to Mio's room however, a young little girl would come rushing out, wide awake and slam her body into the two.

"Mama! Papa! Can we go outside now?!" Mio asked eagerly, before Lia grinned. "Yes, in a little bit. Life won't be the same anyway...but I'm gonna miss this place. Maybe we will come back. I'll be sure to bug Dad about it alright?" she said. She placed a hand in Mio's head as she hopped in front of them. Life was taking a new direction for them, which meant saying goodbye to old points in life. But of course this didn't mean that this door was forever closed. No other doors were opening, and soon, it would be like walking through a hallway, with so many open doors available to them. It might be scary at first, but that was the exciting part right?

Rita blinked for a moment and chuckled to herself. "You're the sweetest girl I've ever seen, y'know? But you know what, that plan sounds just perfect..." The blonde appreciated her disposition, the performer had certainly made a turn-around from her state during the struggle against Nesoi. Really, Rita couldn't say it enough... seeing her this happy made it all worthwhile, everything.

"Well, it's more like word structure and such, it's kinda... ah, forget it." She rubbed the back of her head and pouted until she noticed that actually going to Mio's room wasn't necessary. Her... daughter. Lord, it was still so hard to believe she had someone she could consider that now. But yes, their daughter, correction, had already strolled out and come to meet them instead. Rita put on a wide smile, crouching down and ruffling Mio's hair lovingly.

"What Mama said, we'll be going soon. I'm gonna miss this place too... everything I consider home was here, after all, but hey." Getting up just a tad, Rita pulled Lia down and wrapped both her and their daughter in a tight hug. "We'll be fine, 'cuz we're family..." Her smile showed nothing but love for both of them. Rita truly was committed to giving it her all in order to be a good parent for Mio... and a good significant other for Lia. She really wouldn't be able to express it in new words.
