//------------------------------// // Chapter 24: Through the Waterfall part 2 // Story: Little ray of sunshine // by KDS-Writingindustries //------------------------------// Celestia looked in awe at the sight the area she was in. The water was bright and sparkled, it contrasted with the darker shade of the Lilly pads and water sausages. There was also specks of sparkling rocks, covering the ceiling. She stood still fascination in her eyes, she felt, at peace....until... *Ring... Celestia picked up the phone. "HELLO! THIS IS PAPYRUS!!!" The skeleton greeted Celestia on the phone. Said pony chuckled "Hi Papy. What's up?" "WELL, REMEMBER WHEN I AKED YOU ABOUT CLOTHES?" Celestia's breath stiffened "Y-Yeah" "WELL, THE FRIEND WHO WANTED TO KNOW... HER OPINION OF YOU IS A BIT...MURDERY." Papyrus explained. "WELL, WORRY NOT DEAR PONY! PAPYRUS WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU!" Celestia laughed with a hint of dread 'Of course, why did I doubt!?' "YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT WEARING A BURNT SCARF. SO OF COURSE I ACTUALLY TOLD HER... YOU WERE INDEED WEARING A BURNT SCARF! IT PAINED ME TO TELL SUCH A BOLDFACE LIE. BUT SINCE YOU AREN'T WEARING A BURNT SCARF...SHE SURELY WONT ATTACK YOU! NOW YOU ARE SAFE AND SOUND! WOWIE. THIS IS HARD. I JUST WANT TO BE EVERYONE'S FRIEND!" *Click... Celestia sighed loudly, she lifted up her scarf. "I have to get rid of thing..." She put it in her satchel for safe keeping. Celestial looked at the beautiful surroundings, then she saw an echo flower not to far away from her. She nudged it, curious of what it had to say. "So? don't you have any wishes to make?" Celestia saw more of the flowers along the path, she checked them out to see what they had to say. "...hmm, just one, but... It's kind of stupid" "Don't say that! Come on, I promise I won't laugh" The echo flowers ended there. Celestia was disappointed, but continued on with the path, finding another sigh. The sigh was continuing about the history of the war. The power to take their SOULs. This is the power that the ponies feared. Celestia was getting a bit annoyed by the continuous stopping and starting. But kept moving forward nonetheless. The next area was a simple pathway, with water on either side. Celestia trotted forward, hoping that the next room would be the continuation of the war. Then a long, palish-yellow...thing...appeared from the water. Celestia stopped and raised a brow, but then continued once more. Another long pale...thing...appeared, Celestia ignored it. Then both of the tentacles went down, a giant, onion shaped head appeared from out the water. "Hey ... there... Noticed you were... Here... I'm Onionsan! Onionsan y'hear!" The giant monster, Onionsan, said with little enthusiasm. Celestia stared at the strange palish-yellow monster, "C-celestia..." The pony continued walking, Onionsan followed with the water. "You're visiting Waterfall, huh! It's great here, huh! You love it, huh!" Celestia slowly nodded, she was a bit unsettled by how Onionsan was talking, and moving, and, using weird facial expressions. "Yeah! Me too! It's my big favourite. Even though, the waters getting so shallow here... I, have to sit down here all the time, but... He-Hey! That's okay! It beats moving into the city..." By now Celestia was walking a bit slower to hear the monster out. "Like, living in a big aquarium. Like all my friend did! And the aquarium's full, a-anyway, so, even if I wanted to I... That's okay though, y'hear! Undyne's gonna fix it, y'hear! I'm gonna get out of here and live in the ocean, y'hear!" Celestia smiled at Onionsan "I hear! That does sound nice, living in the ocean" She realised she was at the end of the room. "Hey...there... That's the end of this room. I'll see you around! Have a good time!" Onionsan slowly dropped down "In Waterfalllllllllllll" Celestia moved to the next room. There was a hill-like formation in the middle of the room. It looked like some sort of stage. Celestia was about to walk past it until her heart popped out. She looked to see a shy looking monster in the corner of the room. Celestia smile patiently, the scaly monster shyed away even more. Aaron nods his head approvingly The Shyren's attacks, or any for that matter, were notes formed by quite hums. Celestia had an idea! She hummed a catchy tune from the song she remembered earlier. Shyren turned her head around, smiling as she hummed the melody. The musical notes were coming in bunches and more faster. Shyren seems much more comfortable singing along. Celestia wasn't finished yet, the pony sang more as well as Shyren. Monsters were drawn to the music. Suddenly, it was a concert... "Come on!" Celestia guided Shyren to the higher part of the room. Celestia began to sing lyrics... "~Umbrella at your side. It's rai-ning but you close it tight!~" "Se ri sir ra~ sir ra la-la la la-la~" Celestia could see Sans selling tickets made of toilet paper, bobbing his head to the melody, She giggled and continued to sing. "~Those heels that you like, are soa-king but is that al-right?~" "sir re Si ra, sir ra la-la la la-la" The seats are sold out. Celestia felt like a pop star. "~Let out a sigh, for a-nother day the same-as the-last! Come on let's try, dye it blue and Change it up from the past~ Re-flecting up! From a-puddle and then gone-in-a-flash! Is that most, that you can dream or wanted-to-see!~" "But look ar-ound~!" "Dance up and down!~" "The world is-now!~" "Still going 'round~" "Just feel it pound!~" "We're skyward bound~!" "Move at the top~ speed ~ of~ sound!~" "Run-ning to an-other day!~ I wa-nna break a-way and take the lead~!" "Tra la-la la~ Tra la-la la~la~" "As-you're stuck on yes-ter-day~ No sun-to-shine would be O-Kay with me~" "Tra la-la la~" "Every-day~! Every-day is O-K~!" By now, every monster was clapping, stomping, and hoping to the beat! Celestia decided to up the wow factor by effortlessly dodging the note attacks in style! The monsters cheered loudly. "You fall down seven-more times~ I'll be there seven, eight, nine~! As we keep trying we'll find-" "We're always singing the same t~u~n~e~" "Shining down on-me you're my blue m~o~o~n~" "Dream-ing for-ever to find now, I'm-awake~" "I need to find to-mor-row, can you take me-away-" "And go the top~ speed ~ of~ sound~" (A/N ~Doo Doo Doo Doo~!) "Run-ning to an-other day~ I wa-nna break a-way and take the lead~!" "Tra la-la la~ Tra la-la la la~la la~" "As-you're stuck on yes-ter-day~ No sun-to-shine would be O-Kay with me~!" "Tra la-la la~" "Every-day~! Every-day from now on~!" The monsters cheering and screaming was deafening. All the monsters circled around Shyren as Aaron and a few other monsters picked her up. With all the monsters cheering her name, Shyren never felt so happy, so alive, so free... The monsters cheered and took her too another room. Shyren looked back at the pony and mouthed a 'Thank you'. They were all gone. Celestia smiled 'My work here is done' She trotted forward.
