After a little bit more driving, Katherine finally made it to Edward's home. She slowly turned off the car and got out. She walked over to Edward's door and opened it up for him, so that he could get out. She watched him closely and swallowed hard.

Edward stepped out of the car and uncurled his back.
Ivy and sweet peas had, by this time, weaved into the Mansion’s main gate so tightly that it had enveloped it in a tangled mess of spear-shaped leaves and frilly flowers ... and, observing this with surprise, Edward was forced to scuttle up the crumbling outer wall and slide down into a prickly monster-sized rosebush in order to enter into his old garden.
Ignoring the thistle from the plant in his elbow, and ignoring the dust of the moist dirt and dark red petals, Edward stumbled out of the rosebush and stared in flummoxed awe at everything.
The Mansion’s parterre that had once been so neatly snipped and sculpted was now a complete jungle. The sunflower patch was in disarray, weeds the size of baby trees speckled the walkways, the primroses overran their path, and ... and Edward slumped down in bewilderment as he saw how the topiaries had all lost their picturesque looks and were now large blobs of brown fluttering leaves.
A giant twig reached out of where the hand topiary used to be, now leaving only a macabre and skeletal twig-hand. Edward sighed, his observant black eyes slowly moving from one devastated side of the garden to the other.

Lucy stepped into the disarrayed gardern herself, but cautiously, trying not to be punctured by the large rose bush's thorns.
Successfully, she made it through and what her eyes beheld was a beautiful sight. Even though it was not a manicured garden, Lucy knew it was once beautiful. Her eyes glittered in the sunlight as she spun in her own circle, slowly observing every plant, leave, or flower.
"It's so pretty," she said in a soft whisper. She had never noticed all the details the last time she was here.....which was three years ago... For it was night the last time Lucy accidentally placed herself near the mansion.

"Thank you.."
Seeing his garden so overgrown caused Edward to realize how long it had been since he had ventured back up here, to his home.
A few shards of glass winked innocently from the ground; the shining remains of Jim’s fall through the Mansion’s zenith window . . . and Edward looked numbly at the ground, memories flooding though him. Long ago memories.
Looking away from the ground and stopping the memories, the sad young man walked stiffly up to the main door.

Lucy didn't know what else to do, but follow Edward's thin stiff frame up to the door as well. "Can you open the door?" she asked as she popped her head around his waist. She knew that Edward had never allowed her the opportunity to teach him and now was a bad time to ask, but she wanted so desperately to hold on to him for as long as possible.

Katherine watched as Edward and Lucy walked up to the door of the mansion. She sighed deeply and shook her head a bit. She closed the doors to the car and slowly began to follow them. Being at the mansion again brought too many memories to mind and she really didn't want to remember them, but she really had no other choice.

Edward sunk his chest stiffly and he glanced at his new hands. "No."
Here, the mechanical man looked to Lucy below. His brown eyes sparkled tenderly at hers and he awaited her help.

He would never learn......Edward would have these hands for the rest of his life.....and he would never know how to use them......... However, Lucy did not feel like arguing this point. Instead, she reached for the door handle and pushed it down, causing the metallic door to creek as it was opened.
Peering inside, it smelled dusty and felt cold. "Do you want me to go inside with you?" she asked looking up to him.

Katherine was going to go into the mansion with the both of them, but she was too scared to. She didn't want any more memories creeping back into her head. She took a deep breath and looked away from the mansion, sadly.

Edward did not need to answer, for when he looked down upon Lucy, his glossy black eyes told her. They were afraid, and sad, and didn't want to be left alone just yet.
Edward moved across the grand hall and examined the mess it had become. He felt tickles cross his chest and face when he broke the cobwebs that had now manifested the old house. When he came to the stairs, he didn't use the rail, but instead, walked stiffly up them, as he had always done before with his scissorhands.
Now, the young boy stood up in the attic, near the small bed made of hay and shreaded paper. Finding comfort in this, Ed felt himself grow warm and he settled down into it.

Lucy had taken more attention to the entire mansion than the first time she had visited....or well.....arrived there... It was daylight and so that helped brighten up the details of it.
Once in the attic, Lucy peeked out of the broken window and saw her mother below in the garden. She waved to her and then disappeared as she looked up to the large hole in the roof. Seeing this.....flooded her with memories when she was only 8 years old..... The bright stars and the chilling cold......Edward's scissors glimmering so beautifully in their light.....his dark black eyes sparkling like wet coal.... But all she saw now, was stormy rain clouds beginning to form and the distant sound of thunder.
Turning around, she saw Edward in his pathetic bed, sitting in it with a look of security. Feeling as if she would begin to cry, she looked away and said, "I remember this place a lot, Edward."

Katherine saw Lucy out of the window and waved slightly back to her. She sighed deeply and looked up to the sky, seeing that it looked like it was about to rain. She sighed deeply and wrapped her arms around herself. She and Lucy would have to leave soon.

A cordial nod, "Me too. . ." Said the low voice in the shadows of the mantle. The slim figure of Edward sat, unwavering, even at the clash of thunder that rolled through the dark, black, angry clouds.

Lucy blinked hard as the thunder crashed. She looked down to her feet and scratched at the now splintering wooden boards in an uncomfortable manner.
Not knowing what to do next....besides leave and say good-bye.....Lucy looked back to Edward as her eyes filled with tears. She knew that she would never see him again and all her memories of grandma Kim would be lost....also....her best friend would be alone forever, once again..
Small droplets of rain began to drip into the hole in the roof...along with some of Lucy's tears that had now managed to fall from her eyes.
Walking to Edward, trying to contain herself, she stuttered, "I....I hope.....we ....we can see eachother...again...."

Katherine felt the rain coming down and sighed deeply. She knew that Lucy would come soon, so she slowly got back into the car and leaned back in the driver's seat. She sighed deeply and ran her fingers through her hair.

The wind sang spookily against the open hole in the roof, like an ally cat wailing to the stars at night. It was a quite unnerving, but it did not bother Edward.
Lifting his neck and staring at the tiny girl, he said, "You're leaving?"
