//------------------------------// // Day 150-Coma // Story: Hasbro/Square Enix Kingdom Hearts Days of a Nopony // by SonictheHedgepony //------------------------------// Day 150-Coma The next morning, I went to the Grey Area and met up with Trixie. "Good morning, Moondancer," she said. "How has your magic been improving?" I found that question rather vague, but I should still be respectful. "Alright," I simply said. "Queen Chrysalis just partnered The Great and Powerful Trixie with you today," she told me. I found it weird that she referred to herself in the third-person, but I know she's trying to do the best she can to impress me. "Trixie hopes that we'll conquer this mission like Trixie conquered the Ursa Major. And speaking of conquering, did you hear about Solaris?" I didn't like how Solaris was mentioned by somepony else, so I started to get worried. "What happened to her?" "She failed to conquer her last mission and is in a deep sleep like you once were. I think she'll never live up to the standards of The Great and Powerful Trixie!" I found that last part to hurt me greatly, especially after she said that Solaris was in a coma. I began to run for Solaris' room until I was stopped by the Queen. "Where are you going, Moondancer?" she asked. "To check on Solaris." I said, wasting to time to reason with her about why I'm running off before my mission. "Shouldn't you do your mission?" "I'm going to do it. I just have to see Solaris." "You can't help her out. She won't awaken." "I don't care. I should still be with her." I began to run off again, but I was brutally stopped again. "Why? The thing's damaged. Faulty." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and of course, my anger flared up. "Don't you dare call her that!" My anger was so strong as I said that, my horn began to glow with its trademark magenta glow. "I can say whatever I want to say. How we can take care of Solaris is not your business right now." This comment still kept me enraged and my horn glowing with magical energy. "I don't care!" "Come on, Moondancer. You've got your hooves focused on a nopony." "Me and Solaris are Noponies!" I knew she was referring to something else and not our species, but I felt it was best to correct her. "Temper, temper. Solaris' condition won't affect you in any way. You'll be alright." "Won't affect my--" I can't believe she was being so optimistic about this, even when one of our own is incapacitated. "What the HELL is wrong with you?" My anger reached such a critical point that my eyes started to glow white and my horn sparking with magical intensity. However, upon seeing a memory of the lavender unicorn going through the same process, I calmed down and my magic returned to its dormant state. "Look, I'll do my mission--soon." I then ran off for Solaris' room, and when I got there, I saw she was indeed in a state of deep sleep. I felt despondent for her, seeing her like how I was, and I decided to do an act of kindness for her. I gave her the same apple she gave me while I was in my coma, which I kept to remind me of my missed days, although they started to become old and rotting, however, I saw a memory of the lavender unicorn witnessing a blue unicorn who somehow looks like Trixie using an age spell, which the lavender unicorn tried to replicate, to no avail. I decided to try it out for myself, and miraculously, it worked. Now, when she awakens, she'll see fresh, new apples, like she gave to me. I can only hope she awakens soon. *** After my mission, I went alone to the clock tower, where Discord later joined me. "Discord, about Solaris..." I began, but trailed off as I remembered my outburst this morning. "Queen Chrysalis told me about what happened," he said. I knew somepony would tell him about the fiasco. "Why does she hate her so?" "Come now, why are you talking like an actual pony?" "W-why?" I was confused about this until I quickly realized what he meant. "I guess I don't know how real ponies talk." "Because it sounds like you're missing something important." "It's just... when I see her lying there, I have this feeling that she may never awaken." "She will soon enough." His assurance lifted me up a little, but I had another thing flowing through my mind from this morning. "The Queen said she was 'damaged.'" "Well, if it'll get you out of the dumps, my life before the Organization was much more damaged than hers." I hear him say that a lot, but I can't help but follow along. "Chrysalis knows something about her that I don't. Why we're special Noponies." "You know, if it'll also make you get a good night's sleep, I'll ask her." That response was enough to get me off of the ground, literally. "Seriously!?" "I'm seriously serious. Just calm yourself. I can ask, but don't get your hopes too high. Straightforward answers aren't really her thing." "Well, she's more than likely to just tell me." "Touché." I then turned to look at the sunset. "I just hope she awakens soon." Even though I said it already, I felt it best to tell Discord personally. *** "...What the hell were you thinking!?" Discord was really annoyed about how Queen Chrysalis mocked Solaris' condition to Moondancer that as soon as he saw her, he didn't hesitate to call on her. "I told you it's none of your business," said the Queen. "And I told you I won't. I have to know what's up with Solaris. Why won't you tell me what's up?" "Like how you were always honest to your friends." "Alright, now that's just cold." Her statement was enough to cause him to remember what happened to him during the Heartless invasion on Canterlot. "Solaris isn't meant to be with us." Discord was suddenly taken aback by this. "Why ever not?" "What do you and Moondancer see in Solaris that I don't. Take a better look at her. *** Solaris continued sleeping peacefully in bed as I brought to her a freshly restored apple to put alongside the first one I gave her this morning. Hopefully, when she comes out of it, she can know that those apples represent how much I missed her awake.
