"I was hoping we wouldn't get to this part," Honey stood by the door with Laura.

"As was I, dear. But good things must come to an end for new things to begin." Laura replied, hugging her best friend. "But I won't forget about us. I won't. I promise."

"Good. You can do this, Laura!" Honey encouraged.

"I'll be back to visit in a few months. Plus, it's summer. Canada won't be cold!"

"I know. And I'll be there to visit in two weeks."

"Good. And make sure to bring everyone with you." Laura looked around the room, eyes landing on each of her new friends.

"Don't worry," Bibi assured. "We will make sure that she won't forget us!"

Bas nodded sagely. "If she forgets us we'll call Aunty Mary and she'll make sure to take us."

"We love Aunty Mary," Lime added.

"Good." Laura scooped all six children into a hug.

"What a time it's been." Remus stepped in to hug her afterwards.

Honey had started a fire in the garden's fire pit, allowing the families to sit outside.

Remus idly strummed his guitar, sitting on a lawn chair. Suddenly he began to play a tune, watching Honey for her reaction.

The blonde grinned, her eyes dancing with the light of the fire.

"Oh you hear a lot of stories 'bout the sailors and their sport

About how every sailor has a girl in every port
But if you added 2 and 2 you'd figure out right quick
It's just because the girls all have a lad on every ship

And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away

Lucky Annie was a lady who'd been pleased by many men
They all would sail away but then they'd come right back again
But if they never sailed her way she really didn't care
Cause I know that you don't need a man to twiddle under there

And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away

Saber had her lovers, they came in at every door
You could even say that she was really quite a whore
But when she needs some pleasing, she knows just where to go
I grab my good friend Madam Rouge and we go down below

And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away

There was a time when Rouge she found the sailor men a bore
Each new one was more tiresome than the one she had before
Now she finds more joy in breeches than she ever did of old
I'm more fond of their bulges when they're pouches full of gold

And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
It's often times a man will leave you broken with dismay
And it's Twiddle ee ai dee ai dee ai
Twiddle ee ai dee ei
There's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away

Why the boys would look at her, it puzzled poor Flint Locke
She would sit and smile and nod and let them brag and talk
But if they tried to touch her well she'd put them on the run
Cause why would I need a lover when I've got myself a gun
