Lucille appears in the Sanctuary, standing in the center of the room she and Blossom have been staying in. Blossom smiles and gets up, running to hug Lucille. Lucille embraces Blossom, and looks down at her, smiling.

"Do you want your present?" Lucille asks.

"I do!!" Blossom grins at her. Lucille lets go of the hug, and sits Blossom down on the bed. In Lucille's hands appears a small, pastel pink box with a bow on top. She hands it to Blossom. Blossoms eyes widen and she takes it.

"Can I open it?" she looks at Lucille with a small smile

"Open it," Lucille grins, watching in anticipation. Blossom does. Inside is a ring, made of the finest metal, crowned with the most beautiful stones. Blossoms eyes widen more and she tears up, taking the ring gently.

"It's... it's amazing...." she says.

"I'm glad you like it," Lucille says, helping Blossom put it on her finger. The inside is engraved with "L+B". Blossom hugs Lucille once it's on.

"I love it! You're amazing..."

"I'm so glad you like it," Lucille says, hugging back. Blossom holds her close.

"I love you so much..." Blossom says.

"I love you too, Blossom," Lucille says, smiling softly. Blossom lays her head on Lucilles shoulder, relaxing. Lucille lays her head on Blossom's, also relaxing, knowing that this is the one place where nothing can hurt them.

"I want to do something for you... I just have to figure out what..." Blossom says.

"You have all the time in the world, my love," Lucille replies. Blossom takes Lucilles hand and starts tracing a heart in her palm.

"I'm glad I get to spend my life with you.." Blossom whispers.

"You'll spend much longer than just that with me, if you want," Lucille says.

"Really?" she looks into Lucille's eyes.

"Of course, dear."

"How?"

"Corrupteds can prolong lifespans, and if you were to say... become a Corrupted, you could live as long as you want."

"I see,,, how would I become one?" Blossoms eyes widen a little

"Be right back," Lucille smiles, vanishing. She returns shortly, "How do you like your chicken?"

"Um... chicken tenders? I dunno-" Blossom tilts her head. She laughs nervously.

"On it," Lucille disappears. Blossom looks at her hand with the ring with a small smile. Lucille reappears with a table, and upon it is a plate of what looks like chicken tenders, and various sauces. "When you're eating, I want you to intend to become a Corrupted. Focus on it." Blossom nods.

"So... I'll become one by eating this and focusing?" Blossom looks nervous, "Will it hurt? What's it like?"

"It won't hurt, it just tastes like chicken," Lucille says, placing a hand on Blossom's back, "It's... confusing. If you eat Corrupted soulflesh it like... You'll see, my love"

"Okay... and if I do this I'll be with you forever? You'll still love me?" Blossom looks up at Lucille.

"Of course, my darling," she kisses Blossom on the forehead, "I will always love you."

"Okay... alright." Blossom takes a deep breath, "I got this..." She looks to the table and starts eating, focusing on becoming a Corrupted like Lucille said. Lucille smiles, encouraging Blossom with small words of affection and encouragement. Soon, Blossom finishes and looks to Lucille, waiting.

"Should be good now, just wait a day or two before trying any weird abilities. I don't want you hurting yourself," Lucille says.

"Okay,, so that's it? I'm a Corrupted like you?" Blossom asks.

"If it worked, yeah," Lucille replies, "Should've been enough"

"Okay,,, wanna cuddle?" Blossom smiles.

"Yes is that even a question," Lucille giggles. Blossom grins and opens her arms. Lucille picks her up, and brings her close. Blossom holds onto her, yawning.

"I love you..." Blossom whispers.

"I love you too, doll," Lucille carries her to the bed. Blossom relaxes in her arms.

"Now you won't have to worry, right?" Blossom asks.

"Never," Lucille says, laying down with Blossom.

"Oooo I'll be able to teleport!! Right?" Blossom smiles.

"You will!!"

"I'm so excited!" Blossom grins.

"You'll be the best Corrupted ever, my love," Lucille says, softly.

"No, we'll be the best,, together,," Blossom blushes.

"I love you," Lucille says, kissing Blossom

"I love you too... we will be worshipped,,"

"Together."

"Together."
