Reunited

"You...You came back."

- The Beast knowing that Belle have came back for him before dying

There are various ways for characters in a story to be 'reunited. 'One common method of this concept is when heroines think that the major heroes has died by means of sacrificing their own live. When they see something in the shadows and thought that it is the villain, they momentarily realize that their love interest had survived, making them let out tears and embrace. Another common method is when a hero's long lost family is still alive after being separated or they fulfil the promise that they will come back for them.

Reasons why heroes reunite with their loved ones:
 * Realize that their loved ones are still live after beating the villains.
 * Crossing paths with old friends while in new worlds.
 * Knowing that they are coming back for them after making a promise.
 * Realize that they are not alone after knowing their secret past or finding their lost family.

(Christine takes her apron off, as the door opens and a gust of wind sends pages flying. As Christine bends down to pick them up, Betty notices her locket.) Betty, are you all right? What is it? (Betty: That locket, where did you get it?) Oh, from my mother. (Betty: May I?) Sure. (Betty examines the locket.) It doesn't open. (Betty: (smiling) I gave my son this locket, just before he went to sea.) No, it was my mother's. It was given to her by my father. (Betty: (shows a small, golden key around her neck) After the accident, they sent me this key, in his possessions. Please? (Christine nods. Betty fits the key into the locket's keyhole and succeeds in turning it.) Oh, my god in heaven!) (when the locket opens, they both read "Follow Your Dreams" in cursive on a gold plate inside.)

(Florrie: [seeing an Africa-shaped birthmark on Alex's paw] Zuba! Look!) Oh, I've always had that. The vet checked it out. It's kind of a beauty spot, really.) (Zuba: A mark.)
