Twas as though the burden of a sixteen ton weight of lead was lifted from her trembling shoulders and once more she could breathe without pause.

Thunderous applause, the cheers and shouts of many in revelry of her, her dearest friends, her fellow students, both the rich and the poor, and last but not least, her parents.

[color=f49ac2]"Can you believe it, Magnus?  Our girl's going to be a star!"[/color]  

[color=f7976a]"Yes, and a lovely star she'll be, my dear!  Just wait till she has her first concert!  It's going to be smashing!"[/color]

Of the loudest who cheered for Daniella, her mother stood with her father, such a warm, approving grin plastered across their faces.  Though welcomed, it was a slight mortifying to the girl, blushing a bit, but such a redness to her face when she saw who else gave her standing ovation.  [color=ed145b][i]Maxwell...I couldn't have done it without you.  You were the inspiration behind everything I've done.  I just wish...I wasn't so afraid to tell you.[/i][/color]  So an equally joyous smile she shared with the boy, not to mention Marcella and Cooper, waving to them happily with her brightest grin.  Twas always said her smile was like a pure, white light, even in the thickest of shadows, the darkest of darkness.

[color=ed145b]~"Hmm?"~[/color]  But what be this?  There was a girl ([@Framing A Moose]), Lila she believed her name was, who just so happened to usurp her seat next to Maxwell.  If given other circumstances, she wouldn't have minded for the young lady to take her seat.  Gladly she would have given it to her, but...seeing as it was her seat next to Max...well...she couldn't help but feel a tinge jealous, but dared not to show it.  [i][color=ed145b]Bygones are bygones I suppose, and why ruin this joyous occasion with petty jealousy?[/color][/i]  She thought.

So in good spirits as she left the stage, a triumphant feeling in her heart, she decided to take the other seat beside Maxwell, smiling warmly to Lila.  Such a sigh of relief she exhaled slumping back into her chair.  [color=ed145b]~"I did it."~[/color]  Was all she could manage to say, but the excitement, it was indeed evident upon her beaming good looks.  [color=ed145b]~"Thank you, everyone.  I never would have made it if it wasn't for you."~[/color]
