Second Petal [video]

[Well this is... new. For those who know Ruby, they're probably used to see her as a bouncing ball of energy and excitement. Which isn't a bad thing - Ruby's a pretty upbeat kid who just wants to keep making sure her friends always feel that way too!

But now... now she looks a bit withdrawn. Not outright upset, but she most certainly has the look of someone that's really being bugged by something.]

... Hey, guys.

[Geez, even the way she talks is a bit deflated.]

I kinda have a question. People have been talking about their friends disappearing, and it kinda got me wondering...

When someone returns home, what if they... knew things. About stuff that happened that they didn't experience yet, 'cause someone knows what happened to them in the future, and told them about it.

[... Ah. The picture is becoming clearer now...]

Do you think... could what happened to them later on change, then?

Wait, so people just... forget about this place? About all the stuff they did and all the people they met?

... How is that possible?

I don't know. That's why I think it's impossible. It just doesn't sound right, does it? Why would we come here if we just forget all about it when we go?

It doesn't make a bit of sense. None at all. I just can't stand it...

I feel you. If people can remember stuff that they learned here when they go home... maybe a lot of bad things could be avoided. Things could be better for them.

Not even that bad things can be avoided. I mean, that's be a huge plus, don't get me wrong. But like...I dunno. I guess it's just because the whole things almost pointless if you don't?

Yeah...

I mean, it would be cool if this was like a fairy tale! Like, we're all brought here to learn a powerful message or something! That would actually be pretty fun!

But not that just feels kinda... bluh, y'know?

[loveisanopendoor]

I guess my point of view might just be a little biased...I mean, not that I'm, like, actually from a fairy tale or anything, of course, but, I'm kinda sure I'm the closest thing to it? Eheh...

[rosetotheoccasion]

[There's a pause, and then all that heavy stuff they were talking about before is immediately forgotten because OHMYGOSH!!! You can practically see the stars shining in Ruby's eyes.]

Whoa, what??? You were in a fairy tale??? Are you some kinda magical princess???

[loveisanopendoor]

W-well, not exactly! I mean, my sister's more like a magical queen?

[rosetotheoccasion]

[The gasp that Ruby lets out is so intense, it's a wonder her lungs didn't burst from it.]

Oh my gosh, really??? What's it like having a sister like that??? I mean, Yang's super cool, and she can do really neat stuff, so I know how it is to have a really awesome sister!! But a magical queen??

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, it's not always fun and games! Elsa has the power to make it snow and control ice and stuff, which is really cool? And yeah, the fun and games are amazing, don't get me wrong, but, it's tied to her emotions, so when she gets sad, it gets all cold...but thankfully, I'm here to help, so, we can handle it!

[rosetotheoccasion]

[Magic in tune with emotion, huh...]

Oh, my big sister is kinda like that too! Whenever she gets really angry, her eyes turn red and she goes all firey. It's pretty cool!

[loveisanopendoor]

Wait, what?! That's so awesome, I'm jealous! I wish I had powers like that, it'd be awesome if we can be all like, fire and ice, y'know?!

[rosetotheoccasion]

Aw man, that'd be perfect!! And if she's the queen and you're a princess, that means nobody would ever mess with your kingdom! I mean seriously, who would wanna go up against rulers like that who can freeze you or toast you in an instant?
