Tiana sat on her balcony, staring into the night sky. It was incredible. The two brightest stars caused a tear to trickle down her cheek. She hoped Ray and Evangeline were happy together. Then again, she knew they would be. Ray spoke of Evangeline so much when he was....alive.... Tiana wiped another tear from her cheek at the thought of her old friend. He had helped her and Naveen quite a bit back in the swamp. He was an amazing friend- always was, and always will be.

Tiana sometimes dreamed of Ray. Last night she had dreamed that he and Evangeline came down to visit her. She remembered that Evangeline was beautiful. She had long silver hair, and wide grey eyes. The two fireflies had sat on her balcony talking to her for countless hours, and they had a blast. Naveen and Louis came and happily joined them.

However there was one part of the dream that Tiana remembered better than all the others. Before Ray and Evangeline left, Evangeline pulled Tiana aside and spoke to her in private. She smiled at the princess and simply said, "Ray speaks of you all the time. I'm so happy to have finally met you."

Tiana then responded, "Oh, he spoke of you all the time, Miss Evangeline! I'm ecstatic to meet you!"

Evangeline giggled lightly. "That's my Ray. I love him so much."

That was the end of the dream, or at least what Tiana remembered of the dream. However she needn't remember more. That simple dialogue with Evangeline always sent in a flood of emotions- joy, sorrow, regret, happiness, and even envy. She hoped Evangeline really acted that way to Ray. But judging by the way he spoke of her, she knew the female firefly did.

Looking back up into the sky and seeing her two favorite stars, Tiana smiled weakly. They were so utterly perfect. It was beautiful. As much as she missed Ray, she knew he was happier with his beloved- his angel Evangeline.

Thinking further on it, Tiana came to a decision. She had three guardian angels. First, her father. Having always been on her side since birth, he made quite an impact on her life. He sparked her interest in cooking, and always shouted to the skies when she cooked something up. Second, Ray, one of her best friends from the bayou. He helped her and Naveen (alongside Louis) so much, and she owed quite a lot to him. But thirdly, and maybe most importantly, Miss Evangeline. Evangeline was a light in Ray's life, willing him to go on, even when he couldn't any more.

Glancing up at the stars for the last time that night, a third appeared next to Ray and Evangeline. "Daddy." Tiana whispered. She wiped a final tear from her eye, and stepped inside.
Tiana's thoughts on Ray and Evangeline after the events of "The Princess and the Frog". Idea sparked by my other work, Chell's Last Words, which has a similar sound.
