Meeting again in the back of the library, Oran starts the discussion, "So, any idea on what we could use as fakes?" "Yes," Lavender responds, "we could use two old brooches I found," she pulls out two black gem brooches. "They look perfect," Oran says, looking at them, "Now, let's swap them with the real ones," and with that, Lavender puts the brooches back in her pocket and her and Oran nod to eachother, in agreement about the plan.
After successfully swapping the gems, Lavender and Oran return to the back of the library to discuss, "So, now that we have the gems," Oran starts seriously, "what do we do with them?" he asks, seriously confused. "I think we put them on," Lavender states, serious, but a little annoyed at the question. "Okay," Oran responds, and they both pull out the gems from their pockets and put them on, Lavender being first to have hers on, being slightly impatient, with Oran having his on soon after.
Suddenly, the gems start glowing so bright that they have to shut their eyes, with the gem Lavender is wearing glowing a bright purple, and the one Oran wears glowing a bright sky blue, with Lavender exclaiming "What is Happening?!" and Oran wittily (?) responding "I don't know, I'm just as blinded as you are!"
After a few seconds of blinding light, it dims and then goes out, with Lavender being first to open her eyes, and noticing Oran still has his shut, even after the light is gone, she says "It's safe to open your eyes now, Iceberg," and finally, Oran slowly opens his eyes.
"The gem you're wearing is blue now," Lavender points out to Oran, "And the one you're wearing is purple," Oran points out to Lavender.
Abruptly, Lavender's and Oran's eyes and hair start glowing purple and blue, and in a trance-like state, they start floating off the ground, and when they're around 2-3 feet off the ground, bright and violent purple flames appear around Lavender, and sharp blue ice forms around Oran.
For a few seconds, they're just floating there, with flame and ice, and they finally, slowly, descend to the floor, where the fire and ice disappear, their hair and eyes stop glowing, and where they faint and are greeted by their cousins in a joint dream.
"Surprise!!" Rose and Valerian exclaim to their cousins.
"Lavender," Rose says, "Oran," Valerian says, "both of you have…" Rose lets Valerian finish the sentence "The Gifts, magic powers!"
"Lavender, you have the fire, smoke, lightning, and lava Gift."
"Oran, you have the water (and all its forms) Gift."
"And both of you, the first time you use your Gift after you turn thirteen,"
"Your hair and eyes will permanently turn to the color of them"
Valerian continues, "Anyway, enjoy your Gifts," "And use them wisely!" Rose says, then the both of them "Farewell!"
And so they wake up, still in the library. For a second, Lavender's and Oran's eyes glow when they wake up, but return to normal just as fast.
