From Chapter Eight... Ashley & Emily: friends forever!

. . . Ashley and Emily continued to walk down the rainbow's arch to where it met the earth. They stepped out of the rainbow onto the mossy ground. Ashley recognized it immediately; it was the same bed of moss where they had slept so soundly at the beginning of their journey. Ashley wanted so much for other children to experience the wonders of the golden key so it seemed only right to leave the key at the bottom of the rainbow where they had originally found it. Kneeling, they carefully placed the key under a clump of moss with just the jeweled handle showing. The ruby that had helped guide Ashley and Emily throughout their journey shone ever so brightly. Ashley now understood the magical powers of the golden key and remembered the wise words spoken by Aunt Mona, "No one would ever want to sell the key, not for all the riches of the world." It was not about money, it was not about wealth...the key unlocked the strength and the desire to never give up following your dreams. Ashley recognized the beauty within people whether young or old. More than ever, Ashley admired Emily for her determination throughout their journey. Ashley and Emily smiled at each other, knowing their journey through Fairyland had come to an end. They both took one last look back to the rainbow, each remembering their own special memory; knowing that they would share many more journeys together.
