With his empty glass still raised in the air, Ivor Ebony grinned and gestured at Mina. "Here's to you, Miss Hawkins. Let us give her a round of applause and toast our drinks to the teeny bopper who saved the town!"

The crowd of people applauded and cheered. The people who filled the room ranged from local restaurant owners (excluding Bunting Dupree, of course) to business men and women, to civil servants and even a movie star or two (literally, as Star Skye herself clapped in a golden tuxedo) and they all beamed with gratitude over Mina's accomplishment. Only the frizzy, lion maned snob Ashley Ryan scowled at Mina's public acclaim.

Mina's flushed cheeks and went warm and pink as she bashfully rubbed the back of her head. "I guess I'm the toast of the town!" she said, pinker than a drunk's nose on New Year's eve.

"Exactly, kiddo!" Ebony said. "Somebody buy her a drink... non alcoholic of course."

Mina, thrust her hand forward, grinning boldly. "Gimme some chocolate milk...on the rocks!"

"You heard the lady!" Ivor shouted, pointing at the bartender at the corner of the room. "Chocolate milk on the rocks! Shaken and stirred so the chocolate doesn't settle on the bottom!"

"Yummy!" Mina grinned, before Blind nudged her.

"Before you get all starstruck," he said, helped her stay grounded. "And diabetic. Shouldn't you ask him an important question? Like who he really is?"

Mina shook her head and turned to face the man, but he had already turned away.

"Anyways, after the holidays..." he began and chuckled. "And my awesome rhyme. Things are gonna change around here, once and for all. People will no longer walk the streets in fear, in fact, they will all hop, skip and sing in perfect harmony! And no darling," he turned to his wife. "I don't mean you, even if you are perfect!"

She blushed profusely. Ivor grinned like a maniac and thrust two thumbs in the air. "The Aura who once threatened our very way of life, has been abolished. Their leader imprisoned and her cronies too. The justice system will prevail and in the new year, I hope to reform it entirely...in my truly harmonious manner!"

The man's words were greeted with thunderous applause. Even Mina was excited. She clearly had a new position too in the judicial system.

"The streets will be safer, the laws will be fully enforced and Business Park will be back in...business!"

Ebony ignored the cries from random women to father their children. Instead, his mustache hovered over a dazzling white smile. "And now, I leave you to enjoy this gala. I wish you all a clangin' Christmas, a hoppin' Hanukah and a Quanzah worthy of a Quasimodo!"

"Where are you going?" a hapless banker asked from the audience.

"To get some grub!" the new mayor answered. "I really could go for a pumpernickel and pickel sandwich right about now and..."

A feeling swelled up in Mina's throat and it wasn't indigestion. "Raven," she called out to the man who was once her mentor. "Wait a minute!"

"Raven?" Mr. Ebony answered looking back at her. "There's no ravens here. Mr. Fletcher doesn't allow pets in this hotel."

He looked winsomely at Harmony. "But pet name's don't count. Isn't that right perfect Harmony?"

They nuzzled noses and he lifted a hand in the hair. "That will be all. Now let's party til we're all purple..."

As he departed the miniature stage, Mina's jaw dropped. "What in the holy huh?!" she muttered. "No Raven here? What does that mean?!"
