Woot, we have finally made it to Christmas day! Of course we're now close to the middle of February Trinity....but I don't care, I am finishing this story, gosh darn it, lol!

Alright, so we start the day bright and early with lovely Derek. What a nice guy he is, and so gentlemanly too!
Turns out he's had a rough night, filled with dreams of turbulent scenes, lol, of none other than his betrothed Terra.

To do a little backtracking for you guys, let's recall that Terra basically came into his room last night, kissed him, told him she loved him, and then quickly took off right afterwards! (Recap: Ch 17, Pt 4)
Poor Derek doesn't know what to think but he assumes that Terra must be confused, he doesn't believe that she's truly in-love with him.

At any rate, Derek heads downstairs on his way outside to clear his mind and practice his Fire powers; but on his way he runs into Ailani sitting on the front porch. She doesn't seem too happy to see him though, not after last night. (Recap: Ch 12, Pt 2).

Derek ends up apologizing for walking in on her and assures her that it was a complete accident. He also says that it was Lowell, Ailani's twin brother, who had told the guys that the bath was free.

  

Ailani has just guessed correctly that Terra was the one to tell Lowell about the bath being free, and now she has some surprising things to reveal to Derek about his betrothed, Terra. What will Derek think and say about her news? Find out next.

Next: Ch 20, Pt 2
