Day 75-Return
Another three weeks have passed since I reawakened, and there's still no word about what happened in the Everfree Forest. I still go up to the clock tower to eat ice cream and watch the sunset, but Discord is never there. Neither is Solaris. I feel like I lost something important from somewhere inside me, because I don't have a heart (duh). I don't know how to describe it, but it's not a good thing, and it feels as though I'm being tortured by these thoughts. Also, when I'm on missions, even when I'm not asleep, images of that lavender unicorn keep flashing through my head. I don't know where these are coming from, but I'm having a hard time putting my hoof on it.
This morning, as I walked into the Grey Area with a depressed look on my face, as usual, King Sombra gave a slight chuckle as I walked by.
"What's wrong, Moondancer?" he asked. "What is troubling you so?" He should clearly know what saddening me, but I didn't want him to know that again.
"It's nothing," I pitifully spit out. I just didn't want to talk right now.
"I gotta say, though, this castle's a lot less loud. At least, with Diamond Tiara and Prince Blueblood. But I'll get used to this arrangement. What say you?" I seriously didn't want to talk to him right now, but we saw Prince Blueblood walk in with an interested look on his face.
"Hey, Moondancer, did anypony tell you? Everypony at the Everfree Forest indeed get banished from the Organization. Spooky stuff. Especially since the spookiness is in the most spookiest forest in Equestria."
"Then they're really not with us anymore." I was upset by this piece of news, but I kept it together. After I accepted my mission, I took a Corridor of Darkness straight to Twilight Town, where I was to destroy Shadow Globs, which are a form of Heartless that summon Purebloods. I destroyed the weak and defenseless Shadow Globs with little effort. I was about to take off for the clock tower again when I was frozen solid by a familiar voice.
"Hey, Moondancer!" I turned around to see a creature who looked awfully familiar, until I realized who it was. It was Discord! "How's it going?" I was so stuck with relief that it was hard to come up with the right words to speak with. "What is it. It looks as though you just saw an apparition."
"I thought you were gone!" I finally spat out. "The Everfree Forest--everypony was expelled..." I trailed off again.
"Actually, the non-ponies were expelled." I was so relieved, in fact, I ran up to Discord and hugged him, trying to hold back tears.
"I was worried about you."
"Well, it somehow worked, due to the fact that you don't have a heart."
"Well, let's go get some ice cream!"

After we got our bars and went to the clock tower, I felt a spark of joy return to me. It felt great to have Discord with me again.
"I've got to check with the Royal Highness, or she's gonna get me, for sure," said Discord.
"You mean you didn't RTC yet?" I asked. Discord shook his head no in response. "Why come with me, then?"
"I just wanted to find out what I've been missing," he simply said.
"Well, I started bringing Solaris up here while you were away."
"Seriously?" He must have been surprised by my update that he almost didn't believe it. I simply nodded my head yes.
"I also promised her that all three of us would have ice cream together when you returned. We're friends now." After giving him this bit of information, we just contently nibbled away at our ice cream as we saw the sun go down.
