Kira had responded well.
For Madeleine, that was one of the main hurdles over. Although she and Kira had forgotten their differences and became closer during Lee's time of being unable to remember, it wasn't all that long ago that they had argued, and Madeleine had been uncertain as to what Kira's reaction to the engagement would be.
But she couldn't be more thrilled.
And her dad had taken the news well - and Madeleine knew that her mum would come round at some stage.
And as for her - she was still on a constant high, floating around on a sea of euphoria that she just couldn't come down from, and there was always a bright smile on her face.
It was stupid, but it was brilliant.
And of course, now they got to tell people about it. When Madeleine had told Olivia the news, her friends face had flickered indistinguishably, before she gave a high pitched scream - and then all Madeleine could see was a load of flying scarlet hair as Olivia launched herself at her to give her a hug.
Though, not everybody knew yet. Most knew about Lee's memory, but the explosive engagement news hadn't been spread around.
Yet.
She knew that, as Head of the Warriors, gossip and news about her was spread quickly. But for once... she didn't really mind.
Right now, it was early afternoon, and sunlight was streaming through the open curtains. Madeleine was lying back on her bed, book balanced on her raised knees, iPod plugged in and turned up loud as she moved her head and tapped her foot to the beat of the music.
Yeah, happiness is a very odd thing. And the best part was, it was such a huge contrast to her mood a few days ago.
When Will came into the room, Madeleine didn't notice; until she walked right past her.
Pulling the earphones out of her ears, she grinned at Will. "Heya."

Will walked well more like crawled up the staris to the common room.
She walked past everyone and straight through the door leading to the girls dorms. Hectic. Her life that was.
She pushed opened the door and turned around and closed it.
Finally, peace at last...no, Will's thought ended in a cry.
All she wanted to do was sleep until the end of time. She had hoped the dorm would've been empty apart from Kira's bat and maybe her fox.
True they were both there, the fox curled up in a ball on her bed fast asleep and the bat hanging from Kira's bed post.
But there was another being in the room, that was currently bobbing their head to the music they were listening too as well as their foot.
Will hoped that she would be able to get past Madeleine without her knowing she was there as she hadn't noticed her yet. It wasn't meant to be.
"Heya." Madeleine's voice swam around the side of her book and up to Will's ears.
Nooo, I want to sleep! "Hi, Madeleine. How are you?" Will asked as she flung herself onto her bed were Terrico[/color] jumped into the air out of fright and landed softly down as he saw Will and knew that she wasn't in her best happy mood, buit she was exhausted and came up and licked her on the cheek. Then he settled down again as Will began to stroke him on the head, gently.

Madeleine frowned gently as she took in Will's appearance. She looked so tired... as white as paper, and just weak in general.
Something like what she'd spotted in the mirror after her coma.
It wasn't good.
Worried, she asked, "How are you doing?"

"How are you doing?"
Will, who had been lying down, moved her head up so she just saw Madeleine over the bottom of her bed and slammed it back down.
"Exhau- sted," she yawned as she answered her, "Exhausted, sorry," she smiled.
"What about you?" she asked wearily.

Madeleine smiled at Will. "You'll be fine in a few days, it took me a week or so to get back up on my feet."
She pondered on Will's question for a second.
How was she?
Good? Great? Bloody fantastic? Ecstatic? In love? Wonderful? Amazing?
"I'm... brilliant, actually," she said, smiling over at Will. "Have you heard about Lee?"
Then it struck her - was this being callous? After all, Will had just been stabbed by her 'boyfriend'...

Will pricked up at this.
"No, it's not that. Have you any idea how busy the- wait, what? No, I haven't. Has something happened? Something bad?" Will shot upright staring at Madeleine's blue eyes.
Then she saw it. The twinkle in her eye. It was somethign good...but what?
"Is Lee back to normal now?"

Madeleine nodded brightly, her face lighting up into a beam. "Yeah, he's back."
He was back.
And he loved her.
They were back....
"Yeah, it was a couple of days ago," she smiled. "We were in the common room and it just... happened."
Because of her plaits. And Madeleine would never be able to get over that - that she'd done something so simple to her hair, and it had brought him back to her. That was something truly incredible.
She sat up properly, laying her book aside and grinning at Will. "And that's not even all of it... we haven't told many people yet, but he won't mind not being here to tell you this... He... well, after his memory came back, he proposed - so we're engaged."
Engaged. The word couldn't sound any more wonderful.

You're what?!
That was the first thing that came to Will's mind. Her face hadn't moved at all, her heart raced. Time was on a standstill.
Then suddenly as it begun, it had stopped.
"Wow...that's...that's...that's-" Will looked at Madeleine then all around the dorm then back at her, "That's...wow!"
Well she was ecstatic for them and clearly lost for words.
"Glückwünsche," Will said in her native tounge. Then laughed at the expression on Madeleine's face, "In other words, congratulations. I'm really, really , really. Actually you know what, there isn't a word for how I feel for you two right now," she finished truthfully.
She got up and walk over to her friends bed and gave her a quick hug.

Madeleine laughed as Will hugged her, unable to get rid of the bright beam on her face.
"Thanks, Will. I know it's a bit unexpected and we're so young and all... but we won't actually be getting married for a few years at least."
But she couldn't wait.
Really, really couldn't wait.
Because he was going to be hers, and she would be his.
They'd be one.

"Hey, who said you were too young?! I think you're old enough to decide things for yourself," Will laughed.
"Maddeleine, you two are great together, acutally better than great. If this is what you two want to do, don't let anybody stop you," Will smiled at what she said.

Madeleine smiled shyly. "We're not about to. And besides, I doubt many people will try and stop us; they know us too well - and everyone seems thrilled about it all."
Well, except her mum.
But Madeleine knew that she'd come round. It might take until after the wedding - though, she hated that thought. She wanted her mum to be there and be supportive and... and to do all the preparations that she never got to do for Shaun's wedding.
And he was the person that Maddie really needed approval from. Oh, she knew that Shaun would be thrilled, and that she'd have gotten a huge bear hug from him on hearing the news - and that he'd be sad that his baby sister was going away, but he'd know that she was going to good hands.
Of course, Madeleine knew that Shaun would have approved heartily - after all, he was the one who had convinced her to go back to life for Lee (and she was heartily regretting the words she'd said at his grave), so he'd be happy.
But she wanted so badly to see his reaction, for him to tell her that he was thrilled for her, and for him to help her mum come to the conclusion that she was doing the right thing.

Will couldn't stop smiling for them.
"Madeleine, you two are soulmates. Well it sounds and looks that way from were I sit," Will glanced at the fox and carried on, "You're meant to be,"
Will put her hand on Madeleine's upper arm to show her support.

Madeleine blushed.
She didn't think that she had ever thought that about Lee, but...
She did believe in soulmates.
Were they soulmates?
... well, seeing as Madeleine had come back from the dead for him, and his memory came back for her, she thought yes was a pretty safe guess.
"Thanks, Will."

"No probs," Will's smile becam a big toothy one,"Whatever makes my friends happy,"
Then a song started playing in her head.
Whenever dark turns to night
And all the dreams sing their song
And in the daylight forever
To you I belong...
She had never listened to Irish singers much but her mum had been obsessed with them and had gotten Will into B*Witched too.

Madeleine laughed. "I think I was happy enough before you said that. I don't think that I can get any happier, in all honesty."
And she couldn't imagine ever being more ecstatic than this. Ever.
