"Last time on Twilight Sparkle gets a Genshin Impact!" Paimon announced "Me and my friends went to meet up with Lisa only to forget what we needed until Lisa suggested we get a Teyvat Travel Guide but just when we did the book was revealed to be missing alongside some others as me and my friends went on a mission to get all three books back with the latter stolen by an abyss mage which Lumine then battled while we searched for some books only to get stuck in our very own nightmares and now it's up to Rainbow who got a message from somepony to go save us" Paimon explained
What Jean witnessed was a bit of fire leading to where Rainbow went as she saw Rainbow went out of the city gates
"Where's Rainbow going to? And at such fast speed? I'd better have my fellow Knights of Favonius members investigate" Jean said
Jean then went to go and get her two prized pupils, Kaeya and Amber who when they met up were confused
"What's wrong Jean?" Amber asked
"Did we do something wrong?" Kaeya asked
"No you didn't, I just want you to go and investigate where this trail of fire is leading you to and if yu can find the source or Rainbow come find me or if needed rescue her" Jean suggested
"We're on it!" Amber said
"We won't let you down" Kaeya said
The duo rushed off but meanwhile Rainbow got to the cave where she dropped to the ground
"Okay, this has to be the cave, I'd best be careful to not get caught in the same trap as my friends" Rainbow said
Rainbow then grabbed her sword before she flew in as she rushed for her friends before she heard a scream making her turn to what seemed to be a darker purple door with a darker pink star with a darker white star behind it and a five darker white stars right besides it
"Was that Twilight?!" Rainbow asked
Rainbow then sighed in strength before she rushed into the door and when she did she saw something unexpected, she saw something that looked familiar
"Wow! For some reason this looks familiar" Rainbow explained
Just then Rainbow was pushed away by a filly as she turned around only to notice a orange coated pony with purple mane and tail and a shield cutie mark in three shades of purple alongside a lightning bolt symbol
"Rainbow! Quick! Save Twilight! She's in danger!" The pony answered
"What?! Where's she?!" Rainbow asked in shock
"Right over there!" The pony answered
The pony then pointed to the large ladybug which Rainbow noticed as it had Twilight in it's hoof
"On it!" Rainbow said
Rainbow then rushed over to the ladybug who was about to shoot a laser only to feel a buck
"Hey! You stupid bitch! Move out of the way of my friend!" Rainbow ordered
The ladybug then began hissing as it's mouth opened three ways making Rainbow pale in color as she dragged Twilight to safety with her super speed
"Rainbow! You're here!" Twilight called out
"Don't worry Twilight, that ladybug is scary looking by the way, do you know how to beat it?" Rainbow asked
"No! You know why?! Because I'm scared!" Twilight answered
"Twilight! There's no reason to be scared of ladybugs! Just imagine them being cute and such!" Rainbow suggested
"But Rainbow! My brother said he had scary looking eyes and such and they can see where you are!" Twilight explained
"But that's what he wants you to believe, maybe it was just a prank" Rainbow reminded
"He told me it wasn't! I'm sorry but I can't!" Twilight explained between sobs
"When has my friend ever lost hope in herself? To answer yourself, never so you should not quit! Just imagine a cute little butterfly or whatever and stop your nightmare" Rainbow suggested
Twilight then began thinking only to fail
"I--- I can't!" Twilight answered
Rainbow then groaned only for the ladybug to find the duo as it shot a laser making the duo stop
"You know what, fine, I'll stop this!" Rainbow said
Rainbow then turned to the center as the ladybug hissed while Rainbow closed her eyes causing the ladybug to get confused and walk away which made Twilight worried
"Rainbow? Is it gone?" Twilight asked
Rainbow then opened her eyes and saw it was gone
"Yes it is! Now tell me, what are their weakest sides?" Rainbow asked
"I don't know! I never investigated it!" Twilight answered
"That's not good! Twilight just take a deep breath!" Rainbow suggested
"O-Okay" Twilight said nervously
Twilight then took a deep breath as she remembered all the fun adventures she's had with her friends as Rainbow noticed the world slowly reforming before Twilight let's it out slowly
"It worked, it worked!" Rainbow said excitedly
Twilight then opened her eyes before hugging Rainbow
"Thanks Rainbow, you really saved me there" Twilight said
"Now come on, we've got more friends to rescue" Rainbow suggested
The duo then ran towards the door and exited it and when they did they were back in the cave as the door vanished making the group pant
"Now let's go save the others" Twilight explained
The two then noticed three more doors
"Okay, this is gonna take a while" Rainbow said
"We can do this though, let's start with Paimon's" Twilight suggested
"Alright" Rainbow said
The two then entered the door finding themselves back in Mondstadt as they smelled some chicken wings
"Chicken wings? Is that Paimon's nightmare?" Twilight asked
"I don't think it's that, I think it's something way worse" Rainbow explained
Twilight then nodded as they approached Mondstadt where they saw some people gathered around alongside some human bones
"Now this is dark" Twilight explained
"Yeah, definitely!" Rainbow explained
The duo kept walking until they noticed Paimon as a chicken wing above a stove
"Let Paimon go! Please! Pamon's not emergency food!" Paimon called out
"I think I know what her nightmare is" Twilight explained
"Let me guess, being emergency food?" Rainbow asked
"Yep, we'd best stop this and fast" Twilight answered
"On it! Let's go!" Rainbow said
The duo then rushed to the center as they turned to the group
"Attention! Stop eating people!" Twilight ordered
But the people there didn't listen
"Hello! Listen to us!" Rainbow called out
Still no answer making them worried until they looked at each other making them gasp in shock
"Why are we ghosts?! I don't know! Jinx! Jinx again!" The duo yelled in shock and worry
"Now what do we do?! If we can't get their attention somebody should!" Twilight suggested
"Quick! Back to the door!" Rainbow ordered
The two then went back to the door which they exited out of
"Okay, if we can't go there there should be someplace else we can go" Twilight suggested
"I know! How about Lisa's!" Rainbow suggested
I'll even make a protective shield just in case!" Twilight suggested
"Alright, let's go!" Rainbow said
Twilight then started the spell on the duo as they rushed into Lisa's nightmare where they saw that it was Halloween decorated
"Wow! This looks Halloween made!" Twilight said in awe
"She must be scared of Halloween, isn't she?" Rainbow asked
"Yeah" Twilight said
The four then began walking towards the entrance of Mondstadt where they saw a lot of pumpkins partying as Lisa was missing
"Hey, where's Lisa?" Rainbow asked
"I don't know, we should investigate here though" Twilight said
"It will be tough with all those pumpkins around" Rainbow reminded
"Yeah, true!" Twilight said
Just then Lisa was seen being thrown into the air a few times
"Somebody help me!" Lisa called out
The duo then turned around and saw Lisa being thrown into the air a few times making them gasp
"Or not" Twilight said
"Let's go save her!" Rainbow suggested
"Good idea!" Twilight suggested
Rainbow then cut the spell before she rushed over to Lisa and pulled her out of the pumpkins' grasp
"Rainbow?! You saved me!" Lisa called out
"Yeah! Now hold on! We don't want you to get caught by these copycats" Rainbow suggested
"Okay!" Lisa said
The duo then flew towards Twilight
"Get them!" One of the pumpkins said in a distorted voice
"Wow! That's creepy!" Twilight said
"Okay, I'm gonna regret doing this but RUUUUN!!!" Rainbow ordered
The two then began running while Lisa hugged Rainbow tightly in fright before the pumpkin Rainbow zipped by the two
"Give her back!" The pumpkin Rainbow said in a distorted voice
The pumpkins then surrounded Rainbow
"Okay, maybe I should teleport!" Twilight suggested
"Okay, and Lisa we'll be back home in a bit!" Rainbow said
Twilight then teleported the three towards the door which they then entered before it disappeared
Soon enough trio were back as Lisa continued to hug as Twilight tried to pull her off while using her magic
"We're... Back... Home..." Twilight said between grunts
Twilight eventually let the Lisa go causing the duo to fall
"Thanks Twi" Rainbow thanked
Lisa then curled up into a ball!
"Don't tell me we got caught?!" Lisa asked
"No, you may wake up" Twilight suggested
Lisa then woke up before sighing in relief
"Maybe we should get a bit of rest for now after what just happened" Rainbow suggested
"Yeah, these pumpkins were really frightening, I think I need some rest" Lisa explained
The trio then sat down and told each other what happened since they were away and after a while the trio calmed down
"I think everything's fine now isn't it?" Twilight asked
"Yeah" Rainbow said
"Also thank you Rainbow for handling one of the books" Lisa thanked
"No worries, now if you're ready we can rescue the rest of our friends!" Rainbow suggested
"Yes, let's go to Paimon's" Lisa suggested
"No, let's do her last, that one is gonna creep you out a lot!" Twilight explained
"Okay" Lisa said
"Let's go to Lumine's then!" Rainbow suggested
The trio then went through the other door before they found themselves between Lumine as Lumine kept crying while Lisa was gone
"What happened Lumine?" Twilight asked
Lumine then pointed making the two look and gasp at the most gruesome thing they are witnessing the unknown god and Lumine's brother were making sex in front of Lumine, kissing, dancing and lot's more and Lumine was watching it all
"Ew! How gross! And why didn't you stop them!" Rainbow answered
"Because I died!" Lumine answered
The two then turned around and saw they and Lumine were stuck on the chains near their grave
"Oh sweet Celestia! Now where's the door?!" Twilight asked
"I don't know, even Lisa's missing!" Rainbow explained
The two then looked around in worry as they got a little frightened
[Lisa's POV]
Meanwhile Lisa found herself near a cliff as she looked around
"Girls! Call out if you're here!" Lisa called out
Lisa then began walking nervously before she found Twilight, Rainbow and Lumine on the ground lifeless while Lumine's brother and the unknown god had sex
"Ew! If the pumpkins weren't scary enough this was! I'd better save them!" Lisa suggested
Lisa then rushed towards the scene where she tapped Lumine's brother
"Now what?!" Lumine's brother asked
The duo then turned around
"What happened to them?!" Lisa asked
The duo then turned around before back at Lisa
"Oh nothing, they're both dead anyway, see these graves" The unknown god suggested
Lisa then turned back in shock
"Oh no! This was a bad idea! I gotta get help!" Lisa said
"You can't get help, you've never been in this situation before, remember" The unknown god reminded
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can stop you!" Lisa reminded
[Twilight Sparkle's POV:]
Twilight and Rainbow could only look in shock and worry at what's happening
"This is hopeless! We're doomed!" Rainbow said
Just then a familiar voice rang out a few ways back
"Lisa, you needed help didn't you? Well you've got one!" Amber said
"Yes, you just had to call out to us for help! Now let's fight!" Kaeya said
Twilight, Rainbow and Lumine then gasped as they could only witness a fight happening between the trio and Lumine's brother and the unknown god
"They came to save us!" Twilight called out
"There has to be a way out, right Twilight?!" Rainbow asked
"Yes, Lumine, you need to take a deep breath and imagine something you like" Twilight suggested
"Okay, I can try" Lumine said
Lumine then closed her eyes and imagined all the fun times she had with her friends while Rainbow and Twilight could only witness the battle until they noticed Lumine's brother and the unknown god vanishing alongside the chains on their friends reappearing while the trio got back to their bodies as they gasped in relief
"We made it!" Rainbow said in relief
"But how did this happen?!" Twilight asked
The trio then went to Lisa and the other two
"How did you get here and why?!" Rainbow asked
"We came here to rescue you four after what we heard from a certain mirror somebody lied to us about" Kaeya explained
"But why?" Twilight asked
"I mean, you three alongside Paimon helped us on the past missions so we had to come and rescue you" Amber explained
"But how can we save Paimon, I mean we can only turn into ghosts" Rainbow explained
"Why?" Lisa asked
"I don't know, we weren't seen in that nightmare!" Twilight explained
"Hmm, there must be a dangerous force doing this, the only way to save Paimon is by having us do it, you two can go handle the abyss mage and we'll save Paimon" Amber said
"Yes ma'am!" Rainbow said
"Let's go!" Twilight said
The group then went out of the door as they then arrived back in the cave as Twilight led Rainbow to the abyss mage while the other three went through Paimon's door before they landed
"Alright, we're here, now let's go save Paimon" Kaeya suggested
"Hey? Where's Amber?" Lisa asked
"I don't know but Amber if you hear us you may follow us" Kaeya suggested
The two then began walking as Amber walked behind the two before they got to the crowd where they saw Paimon getting redder
"Whoa! It's getting hot in here and in a worse way!" Paimon said worriedly
"Lisa, use your laser skills to send everyone flying, I'll handle Paimon" Kaeya suggested
"What do I do?" Amber asked but her friends didn't hear it
"Alright and Amber if you hear me find some way to revive yourself and stop the cannibalism" Lisa suggested
Amber then nodded before running off as Lisa used her lightning spell to send everyone flying into the distance before Kaeya rushed over to Paimon and put her off of the spinning pole and putting her on the floor
"You okay Paimon?" Kaeya asked
"Kaeya, you came to save me!" Paimon called out
"Well, it's a long story but imagine a normal kind of city just like in the real world and not some emergency food theory, okay?" Kaeya asked
"Okay" Paimon said
Paimon then closed her eyes and thought for a moment as she remembered all the adventures she had with Twilight and Lumine and also the others before she turned back to normal and Amber got revived before panting as she, Lisa and Kaeya rushed towards her and hugged before Paimon flew freely
"Thanks" Amber thanked
"No worries" Kaeya said
"Now where's Twilight and Lumine?!" Paimon asked
"They're fighting the abyss mage, we just saved them and Rainbow so let's go!" Lisa suggested
[Twilight Sparkle's POV]
Meanwhile the two had returned by the abyss mage
"It's over right now!" Twilight reminded
Afterwards the abyss mage turned around
"What?! How did you make it?! I thought I sent you to the hall of nightmares!" The abyss mage reminded angrily
"And it was not strong enough for any of us and it is about to be for you, the nightmare of being beaten by me, Twilight and the rest when they come!" Rainbow reminded
"We'll see about that!" The abyss mage said
The abyss mage then shot a powerful flame at the two which Twilight reflected with her magic before it sent the abyss mage flying against the wall as the staff fell down which Rainbow then rushed to catch only for a spell to shock Rainbow sending her back into a wall
"You're never gonna be able to break the staff!" The abyss mage said
"Yes we are!" Twilight reminded
Twilight then shot a spell which then got fused with a flame, some ice and electricity as it flashed towards the staff breaking it
"Noooo!" The abyss mage called out in defeat
"It's over now, you've been defeated!" Kaeya said angrily
"How did you escape this place's traps?! They're... So well hidden!" The abyss mage asked in defeat
"I have no interests in finding out where you little rascals hide yourselves away but I do want my book back, tell me, how is it that you have the time to conceal your stronghold and apply a magic seal but not to sign out a book in the proper manner?" Lisa asked angrily
"You should also tell us why you trapped us all in these nightmare realms" Twilight reminded angrily
"And have us rescue these guys?!" Amber reminded angrily
"You have no respect whatsoever for other people's work" Lisa said angrily
"...You--- You just want... The book? I was unaware that anyone in Mondstadt was concerned with unearthing the secret hidden inside this book... Who... Who are you all?" The abyss mage asked
"The librarian, although I believe that should be quite clear already" Lisa reminded angrily
"Yeah but don't change the subject for beeswax's sake!" Rainbow ordered angrily
"Yeah, return the book, this is an ultimatum" Lisa ordered
"Hmph, since you insist on concealing your identity I have all the less reason to give you that book" The abyss mage explained
"You're gonna give us that book or else we're gonna have a problem!" Rainbow ordered
"Why? I mean, after all, it contains... The secret..." The abyss mage explained
Lisa then made an electric sphere and got prepared to shoot lightning at the abyss mage before it gasped in shock and worry
"Wh-What are you doing?! Such concentrated elemental power! P---Please don't---" The abyss mage pleaded worriedly
"Go ahead Lisa" Lumine suggested
And after using up all of Lisa's patience Lisa shot an large shot of electricity at the abyss mage causing it to scream a horrifying sound before it lost consciousness in the ensuing electrical current...
"Lisa's so strong..." Lumine said in awe
After that Lisa began dusting herself off
"Hmph, naughty boys who don't do what they're told need a little punishment to keep them in line" Lisa said
"Still, you didn't let them finish speaking..." Kaeya reminded
Lisa then sighs in disbelief
"This is why I call it troublesome work" Lisa explained
"Now what?" Twilight asked
"Well, we just need to find the book ourselves, it should be around here somewhere" Lisa explained
The group then began walking down the hall before they found a chest which Amber opened
"And..." Rainbow started
"The book's here!" Amber answered
Everyone then began cheering as Paimon turned to the group
"It's 'The Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies! Paimon remembers that name, is this the one you were looking for?" Paimon asked
"That's the one" Lisa answered as she grabbed the book and flipped through the pages "It's a goood thing it isn't damaged otherwise..." Lisa started
"Otherwise what? Are you telling me you have even more crazy punishments up your sleeve?!" Paimon asked angrily
"Yeah, we've had a long scary day, right guys?" Twilight asked
Everyone then began nodding in agreement while Lisa shook her head in disbelief
"I know, I know but I was trying to say that I would probably have needed to dish out a little taste of one of my potions in that case" Lisa explained
"Ah!" Paimon and Twilight called out in realization
"Then again... As I said it isn't from the restricted section which is the only reason I would let the average citizen borrow it in the first place and it doesn't appear to have any abnormal elemental properties save for the markings I put on it" Lisa explained
"Yeah... It seems like just an average storybook" Paimon reminded
"Then what did the abyss mage mean about a 'secret'?" Twilight asked
"I don't know but as far as my duties as a librarian go, my troublesome work is finished but since this book has piqued your interest why don't I let you borrow it" Lisa suggested
Lisa then gave the book to Twilight who levitated it next to her
"What's the, um, due date?" Twilight asked worriedly
"There's no time limit for you, I will register you as a 'custodian' rathern than a 'borrower'" Lisa explained
"Then that means we have all the time in the world to investigate it" Lumine explained
"Yes and I'll do my hardest to investigate the source of the secret" Twilight explained
"Well, this is an exclusive privilege reserved for trustworthy citizens only" Lisa explained
"Exclusive privilege? Why does Paimon feel this is just your sneaky way of offloading your troublesome work onto someone else?" Paimon asked
"Excuse me? Are you in some way dissatisfied with my work?" Lisa asked angrily
"No we aren't, she just wants a break, I mean, she's still traumatized, right Paimon?" Twilight asked angrily
"Yes Paimon is and she's sorry if that sounded rude to you" Paimon apologized
"Good, you are amendable to reason them, I do wish I could keep you by my side as my personal assistants..." Lisa said sadly
"I hoped so too but don't worry, I'll surely come visit you when I have the chance" Twilight said
"Good, anyways my work here is done, I'm going back" Lisa said
"Yeah, I have to go back to my job, also Twilight could we have a chat when you return to Mondstadt?" Rainbow asked
"Sure Rainbow" Twilight answered
"Sweet!" Rainbow said
Rainbow then zipped off while Kaeya, Amber and Lisa walked off before Lisa turned back to the trio
"Don't forget to register at the library when you have a spare moment" Lisa reminded
The trio nodded as Lisa then left with her friends following soon after and when they arrived at Mondstadt Rainbow turned to Twilight
"Twilight? Could we have a chat for a moment?" Rainbow asked
"Sure" Twilight answered before turning to her friends "You may go ahead, I'll meet up with you in a moment" Twilight said
Lumine and Paimon then nodded as the duo walked or flew off while Rainbow turned to Twilight
"Twilight, I have a few questions" Rainbow explained
"Really? Why's that and how'd you know we were in the cave?" Twilight asked
"Somepony told us and that pony looked really familiar to me" Rainbow answered
"Huh really?" Twilight asked
"Yeah, she was dark colored and had a black crown" Rainbow explained
"Oh, that's Princess Luna, the princess of the night, I believe she saw me and my friends being in a tough situation" Twilight explained
"Huh? Really? If so how did she do that?" Rainbow asked
"By using her magic which she mostly uses during the night" Twilight answered
"Oh okay, and when I was in your dream, I met somepony very familiar, like she was a family member of mine or something, she even had a tattoo of a shield and a lightning bolt" Rainbow explained
"That was Scootaloo and she's your adoptive sister, she's even a huge fan of yours" Twilight explained
"But I never had a sister before and even if I did I don't know if I'll be a good sister to her!" Rainbow explained worriedly
"Have you seen Lumine's brother, I know he was disgusting in Lumine's dream but I can tell you already that in real life she's not actually that disgusting, all he is, is lazy and such" Twilight explained
"Wait?! Really?! But I don't think Lumine's met her sister before!" Rainbow explained
"She does and in fact we're on a mission to search for her and our friends, the truth is we all miss our friends and family and deep down, you do too, I can already her Scootaloo in your heart screaming that she misses you and hopes you return" Twilight explained
Rainbow then puts a hoof on her chest only to hear the sounds of the same pony she saw before screaming out of hope that Rainbow would return and when she heard that she puts her hoof down
"I feel it and for some reason I feel horrible for leaving her behind" Rainbow explained
"To be fair, I feel horrible for leaving the Princesses behind too but at least I'm staying strong, we all are and we hope that we can return back home as soon as possible" Twilight explained
"Thanks Twilight, you really are an amazing friend, I'll never forget this" Rainbow said
"No worries, now, I'll see you tomorrow" Twilight said
"Yeah, later Twi!" Rainbow waved
Twilight then walked off as Rainbow could only think of what Twilight said and after a while Twilight arrived back at the headquarters where she saw Jean cleaning up
"Hey Jean, how's it going?" Twilight asked
"Oh, it's going well Twilight, except a few minutes a go a few pieces of rainbow flames needed to be disintegrated, don't know how that happened" Jean explained
"Don't worry, I know you can do it" Twilight said
"Thanks Twilight" Jean said
Twilight then nodded before entering the headquarters where Lumine and Paimon waited
"Finally! What took you so long?!" Paimon asked
"Sorry about that Rainbow had a few questions regarding my homeworld" Twilight explained
"Oh okay, now if everyone's ready let's go meet up with Lisa" Lumine suggested
Twilight and Paimon then nodded as the duo entered the library and when they did Lisa was seen filing the last paperwork before she noticed the trio entering
"Ah, you've returned, the paperwork is done, you are now the custodian of this book" Lisa announced
"Thank you miss Lisa" Paimon thanked before she began thinking "But Paimon thinks we're forgetting something again" Paimon thought
"The Teyvat Travel Guide!" Lumine reminded
Lisa then pointed to the shelf with a chuckle
"It's right over there silly girls" Lisa reminded
Paimon then turned around in shock and sure enough on the shelf where Lisa pointed was the Teyvat Travel Guide
"Look, over there on the shelf! Isn't that the Teyvat Travel Guide? And look how many copies there are!" Paimon said in awe
"So we went on this mission all for nothing?!" Twilight asked in shock accidentally dropping the book in an instant
Lisa then began chuckling a bit
"The Teyvat Travel Guide is a serial publication, it is not part of the library's formal collection" Lisa reminded
"Oh..." Paimon and Twilight called out in realization
"Take one, consider it your compensation for being Lisa's little helper today, with you by my side my troublesome work was a little less dull than usual" Lisa explained
"It was more exhilarating than fun!" Twilight said in disbelief
"Chillax Twilight, at least we saved another treasure" Lumine reminded
"Yeah, you're right" Twilight said
Paimon then grunted as she still couldn't believe what happened
"The Teyvat Travel Guide was just bait to get us to do a day's work!" Paimon reminded angrily
"I hadn't anticipated that a few routine returns inquiries would take us out of the city let alone down into some underground ruins and scary nightmares" Lisa explained with the last part making her shudder a bit before she gave the group a few souvenirs "As compensation for dragging you all into all this bother take these souvenirs" Lisa suggested
"Wow, Lisa went and bought us some special souvenirs!" Paimon said happily
"In fact they were intended for our next outing but... Nevermind, we can discuss next time's activity when the time comes, I hope you are looking forward to it" Lisa said in happiness
"Well we are as long as it doesn't take us to another nightmare cave" Twilight said
Lisa then began yawning again while her friends grabbed the Teyvat Travel Guide and when they did they went out of the headquarters only to see Rainbow
"Hey girls! I was just about to come get you for therapy!" Rainbow explained
"Really?! How'd you apply us for that?!" Twilight asked
"Eh, I asked the best people I know and four of them were willing to do it, by the way where's Lisa?" Rainbow asked
"She's still in the library, she's even a bit bored by the way" Paimon explained
Rainbow then sighed in disbelief
"Guess I have to go get her then, why don't you girls wait outside the Therapy Offices right down the street in the meantime" Rainbow said
"Sure" Twilight said
Afterwards the trio went to the therapy offices place a few ways from the headquarters and when they arrived Paimon could only think in worry
"Are you sure it's a good idea to get therapy?" Paimon asked
"Yeah, of course it is, I mean, we got trapped in horrifying nightmares, remember?" Lumine asked
"Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it, but at least Rainbow and Lisa saved us" Twilight explained
"Yeah, can you two tell Paimon what you witnessed though?" Paimon asked
Twilight and Lumine then got a little white as Paimon chuckled nervously
"I'd rather not" Lumine answered
"Same, I know we're friends but yeah, it's really frightening" Twilight answered
But before Paimon get another word out Rainbow called out
"We're back!" Rainbow called out
The trio then turned around and saw Rainbow trotting by with Lisa following close by
"I don't get what we're planning on doing but I decided to join in" Lisa explained
"We're having therapy duh!" Twilight reminded
"Yeah, I thought I told you" Rainbow reminded
"Yeah, it's just, I wasn't in the mood to go out, I was still scared and tired from the nightmare" Lisa explained
"You don't have to be anymore as we're having therapy right now but if you can't handle it we could always ask Jean to help you" Lumine explained
"But I don't want any more people to know about this embarrassing nightmare" Lisa explained
"It isn't embarrassing, I mean, sure some nightmares we, especially Paimon have are sometimes embarrassing but that's no reason to go and get more horrifying experiences, that's why Paimon finds it a good idea we get therapy" Paimon explained
"Yeah, just be glad Rainbow handled this for all of us" Twilight said
Lisa then sighed
"Very well" Lisa said in worry
The group then entered as they then began their therapy one by one as they all talked about what they experienced in the realm of nightmares with some having terrified looks while speaking and when Lisa was next she stood still
"Lisa, are you okay?" Twilight asked
Lisa then turned around
"Are you sure it's alright, won't she be asking a lot of questions? What if they all get personal and--- and---" Lisa started
Rainbow then approached Lisa
"Relax Lisa, I know this looks frightening, especially with how frightening some nightmares were but trust me when I say that there's nothing to be afraid of, sure she'll ask a few personal questions just like the rest of them but that's just because she wants to see why you get that nightmare and a horrifying one at that" Rainbow explained
"Yeah, but you should've gotten my confirmation first" Lisa reminded
"And have you be haunted by the nightmare realm? Of course not, we're gonna give you therapy whether you like it or not so go it there and give it all you've got, also pretend you're speaking to a client and not to a therapist!" Rainbow suggested
"Okay, I'll try" Lisa said
Lisa then took a deep breath and let it down while her friends let out sounds of 'you got this' before Lisa entered and when Lisa did she told the whole story and such as if she was talking to a client and when she returned her friends could all look in worry before Twilight stepped forward
"And, how did it feel?" Twilight asked
"Are the memories flooding back or what?" Paimon asked
Lisa then sighed before she smiled
"It worked, though the therapist said I would need therapists for a few more months seeing as the trauma haunted me more than you guys but I can still smell the air of relief right now" Lisa said
Her friends then cheered before they ran in to hug Lisa who hugged them back and as soon as they were done the group left as Jean walked by
"Hi girls, are you feeling a little better?" Jean asked
"Better than never! Thanks Rainbow, we really needed it" Twilight thanked
"Don't sweat it, after what we all saw during your respective nightmares I definitely wanted to help, besides it's not like you wanted to lose hope after seeing these nightmares, right?" Rainbow asked
Paimon then chuckled nervously
"N-No! Definitely not!" Paimon said
"Well that's a relief since Rainbow told me everything so that's why I helped her with handling thes stuff" Jean explained
"WHAT?!" The group gasped in shock
Jean chuckled a bit
"Guess you girls did lose a bit of hope after all when seeing these nightmares, luckily Rainbow game at the right time, and with her super speed at that" Jean explained
"Yeah, though I still need to learn on how to use it, I mean I barely survived a lot of crashes, I might not know this but there may be a few bruises on me right now" Rainbow explained
"Rainbow, you found your super speed?!" Twilight asked
"Yeah and it's all thanks to what you told me!" Rainbow explained
"It doesn't matter, as long as we're both safe right now" Lumine reminded
The group then smiled at each other before Jean turned to them
"Anyways, I think I should be off now, I'm still busy with my 'Grand Acting Master' duties so if any of you need me just let me know" Jean suggested
"Will do Jean!" Twilight said
Jean then walked off as Lumine could only look in worry
"Did anybody hear her personality crack for a moment?" Lumine asked
"I think I did, maybe we should investigate it" Paimon suggested
"We'll investigate it tomorrow, for now we all need some rest, thanks again for your help Rainbow" Twilight thanked
"Don't sweat it girls, glad I could help!" Rainbow said
Rainbow then walked off as Lisa turned to the trio
"I think I might as well be going, don't forget to meet me again if you want another 'due books mission' Lisa said
"Will do miss Lisa" Paimon said
Lisa then smiled before she walked off
"Alright, let's go home, we've had a long day" Twilight suggested
The other two then nodded as the trio went back to their hotel room as Twilight laid down the books
"Should I go get a safe from my room or...?" Lumine asked
"No need, during our walk here I used a spell on book in case anyone wants to steal it, that way only we can tough it and no other abyss mage" Twilight answered
"And what if an abyss mage does touch it?" Paimon asked
"You don't wanna know" Twilight answered
"Okay" Lumine said
Twilight then picked out a lot of stuff from her new saddlebag alongside the special red gem which was still wrapped making her worried which her friends saw
"What's wrong Twilight?" Paimon asked
"Nothing, it's just... What if we don't see that green guy again?" Twilight asked
"Of course we'll see him again, we still need to ask him about the gem" Lumine reminded
"True and besides Paimon thinks this is just the beginning so Paimon doubts the green guy is never gonna appear" Paimon explained
"Maybe you're right, what if it's just the beginning and if it is I wonder how long it'll be" Twilight explained
"I dunno but Paimon still thinks we're at the 'Prologue' of our story so we still got a long way to go" Paimon explained
"Prologue? Don't tell me you're speaking to the non-existant viewers again?" Twilight asked
"Maaybe" Paimon answered in a sneakishly tone
"Well, that doesn't matter, what matters is that Paimon's right, if we're at this so called 'prologue' we'd still have long way to go until we can find our friends" Lumine explained
"True, thanks girls" Twilight explained
Meanwhile at another place while Lumine, Twilight and Paimon were talking an abyss mage was looking out the window until it flew to a familiar pony, especially familiar to Twilight and Lumine
"Did you find that pony who interrupted Dvalin's sleep?" The pony asked
"Yes I did and it looks like she has some new friends, they even kicked their butt against one of the most evil friends of ours, they even killed a lot of hilichurls and arrested Raptor and Izzard forabsolutely no reason, what do you suggest we do, Starlight?" The abyss mage right now
"For now we do nothing, let's go meet up with Aether and try and hurt that dragon again with poisonous magic" Starlight suggested
"Are you sure you want to do that?" The abyss mage asked
"Shut it! Of course I do! They were the ones who interrupted Dvalin and scared off many birds! They deserve to get a lesson so until they learn their lesson we're gonna fight agains them and gather more allies, I mean we already have a lot, don't we?" Starlight asked
"Oh yeah, we do those fools that call themselves 'the Fatui' despite them being the very opposite of us mages" The abyss mage explained
"That's right and even if you don't like it, we're better than them, we just gotta find a way to get all the gods' gnosses, now come on, we're almost late to meet with Aether" Starlight explained
"Yes boss" The abyss mage said
And with that both the abyss mage and Starlight left Mondstadt's city grounds as nobody saw them leaving, not even Twilight and her friends who kept on talking and doing what they could for the next few hours or the Knights and Guards of Favonius as they were all busy protecting and doing what they do best for the rest of the month as nobody had anything fun to do as the next few days were a little less eventful
