"What's on your mind, Jacklyn?"
" 'You're both lucky to be alive.'"
"Yes, that's what she said. I was there."
"But...…maybe somebody else isn't."
"What are you getting at?"
"The moment I mentioned dancing with my parents in a few days, the whole Party Fails immediately beamed up and requested to be there. Then from that moment on, you saw. They treated us way more nicely as if we were their own."
"I know. They did say we were."
"But what if they were warning me? If I were them, I would have hopped the first portal and gone home, but when it came time; they said they would rather stay with me, and then go. What's gonna happen at that Dance, Helen?"
"I...…..You know I can't talk Future."
"But Jewels did that with Stephanie. Tell me. What are you hiding from me?"
"You're the SecretBearer. You tell me."
"But so are you."
"I never took the role, remember. No matter what timeline we are, in order to get to the letter C, we have to cross A, and B. They look different for both of us, but both lead to the same results. That's all I'm saying."
"Same results? Huh."
"Don't think about it too hard, Kid. As Ruby said. We're lucky to be alive. So just live a little. That is what life means."
"It's also a double negative for the word evil."
"Yeah, that's life spelled backwards. So what? We all die. That is evil, but if all you do is prepare for the end, you will miss the beginning."
"What's so important about the beginning?"
*BOOM*
"Is that you can make your own ending."
Uni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*OOF*
"Oh, thank, thank you, thank you, Doctor."
"I am not a doctor, nor am I a Vet, but you're welcome. She's good as new."
"How do I pay you, Alexa? Do you accept…."
"I accept nothing, for I am nothing. But you.....you have the whole world to decide what is accepting and what is not."
"...Sa….sa....sorry for killing you, earlier."
"It's okay, Starlight."
"No hard feelings?"
"No hard feelings. Although
*Tap, tap*
My bones are harder than ever, thanks to you. I think you crushed them in just the right way, they shifted.
Thanks, Chiropractor."
"Oh. I.....I can do it again if you want."
"No, no. I'm good. Thank you."
"But I can see you are still notted."
"Hey, how is it that you can talk, but Dragons can't?"
".......What's this about, Dragons now?"
"Frostwing, you…"
"Yes, I can talk. I just....don't want to. If you want me to talk, you have to take the initiative to make me. If you don't want to talk to me, I am not going to talk with you.
Now what's this about....
Unicorn!!!!!
Freeze!!!!!!!"
"Calm down, calm down, Frostwing. Lower your guard."
"And you, Uni, lower your horn. This is not a fight, but a standing."
*Zurrruaaammm*
"......What are we standing for?"
"Frostwing, he has your heart. We transplanted, so he will accept you. Just needs to know that you will accept him too. Do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Frostwing!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ok, ok. Fine.
But out of the two of us, you are the one that flew away. If you do that again to my Rainbows, I will personally...chase you; and this time, there will be no reviving."
*Gulp*
"Ok. You two love birds, calm it. We're not here for you, and you are not here for us. Instead, we are here for all else. We are here for all that was, that is, and that is yet to be. So, can we set aside our differences and move forward? This is a fast-paced world, and the sooner we can show how serious we are, the better others will take us. Can I trust you to follow that?"
"Yeah, old man. She's talking to you.. Can you keep up?"
*Hmppppppprrrrrrrrrrrmmmmm*
".........I take that as a let's begin. So...…..as Helen said, 'It all starts at the beginning."
