Day 125-Failure
Over the next three weeks, Discord was gone, but that didn't mean that our visits to the clock tower had to stop. After our missions, we still meet up and have ice cream and watch the sun set. We always talk about how our missions went and when Discord would return. We were patient for his return, but I just couldn't wait to talk with him again, especially to talk about the WINNER stick I got several months back. I've been so distracted by recent events that I completely forgot about it. I can just hope I remember to tell him what I've won when he gets back.
When I accepted my mission this morning, which was to observe some crossfire in a storage depot in Jasper, Nevada, I was wondering about my memories about the lavender unicorn. I'm still having dreams about her, even when I'm not sleeping. And these dreams are of her and her friends, and I don't know how to make them out. Before I could figure it out further, I heard a whirring sound and I went to check it out. I saw Optimus Prime and the blue and yellow Autobots on a lifting device and a figure in a piece of large armor. Out of the vortex came a car which looks very speed related and has the number "38" painted on the doors. It suddenly transformed into the white and blue Autobot I saw before.
"Looks like the Autobots have a new recruit," said the figure, whose voice I recognized as the robot who can no longer fly.
"And you must be Starscream," said the white and blue Autobot. "Weird, I thought you'd be taller." The robot, Starscream as the white and blue Autobot called him, growled in anger over this insult.
"Smokescreen, stand down!" said Optimus. "You're no match for Starscream's Apex Armor!" I then saw the white and blue Autobot, Smokescreen as Optimus called him, activate something on his wrist.
"Any last words, Smokescreen?" asked Starscream.
"Only four," Smokescreen simply stated. "Kiss your armor goodbye!" He then ran towards Starscream and threw himself in a kick position, and I saw him go through the armor along with Starscream. Whatever technology he had on his wrist, it allowed him to phase through that object. I then saw Starscream destroy a crate on the lifting device and leave the Autobots behind, taking a red rock with him. The situation having died down, I thought it was enough to provide to Queen Chrysalis and decided to go to the clock tower.

I just sat there, eating my ice cream all by myself, until I heard a voice break me away from my thoughts.
"Hey, Moondancer." I turned, and sure enough, it was Discord.
"You're back!" I said. I was so glad to see him again, it was like how I saw him again after I thought he was kicked out.
"Just got back, yeah." He then took his place on the clock tower with his ice cream in hand. "Where's Solaris?"
"I don't know." I saw that she wasn't here when I got here and I know that it's getting late and that we would have to RTC soon, but I wonder what's keeping her, because her mission should be done by now. "It's not herself to not show up after work..."

Solaris was in her bed, sobbing uncontrollably. Finally though, she calmed down and wiped her eyes from her tears.
"Why would she say such a thing..." Her voice trailed off as she remembered her battle between a mysterious figure wearing the same cloak as her and her compatriots, and how she failed at it. "I don't believe her. It's genuine... and so am I."
