"Why are you crying?" Venus asked Luna, the younger shrugged weakly sniffling into her arms.

"I don't know" she croaked, staying in her position curled up with her knees close to her chest, continuing to sob into her arms.

"I can't make you feel better if I don't know what's wrong" The brunette sighed, rubbing Lunas back lightly.

"I don't know what's wrong! All of it, everything" the blonde whimpered, letting hot tears run down her young face, her eyes puffy and red, her nose stuffed and swollen, and her shirt soaked with tears and snot.

"Is this the wrong time to ask where the chips are?" Celeste added, leaning her small frame against the rough empty door frame. Luna giggled, shakily wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Top left shelf, probably in the back" Luna said, smiling weakly at her best friend while still sniffing and letting out tiny hiccups. Celeste nodded, giving the blonde a thumbs up to which she returned happily before roughly wiping her face.

"Ouch!" she mumbled at the burning sting, her face was only sore and swollen from her crying, but at least she wasn't alone, and at least she had the two people she loved the most by her side, hoping she would never lose them.

"Hi, friend!' Luna squealed, hopping onto the torn-up stained mattress beside Celeste.

"What do you want," Celeste said, turning to face the other girl.

"I need help. I think I like someone. And it's scary" Luna mumbled, sitting up in front of the purple-haired girl.

"They probably don't like you" Celeste responded, laying on her back beside the shorter girl.

"What do you mean? I have an amazing charm-" Luna began, flipping her long hair dramatically.

"You have as much charm as a dead slug" Celeste responded, giving the blonde a dirty look furrowing her eyebrows.

"Hey idiots" a voice yelled out, Venus entered the room grabbing more items messily shoving them in the bag "we're going, get up"

"Where? Why? I'm tired" Luna whined, frowning at the older girl.

"To see Vi." She replied.

"Why though?" Luna asked, laying back down on the mattress.

"Cause I just watched Benzo get murdered and Vander get kidnapped by some ugly ass man" She smiled, throwing her bag back over her shoulder.

"Oh," She muttered, standing up and following Venus and Celeste.

The girls exited their home, traveling through the lanes. Luna was scared in all honesty, she didn't know what was happening but she knew Benzo had been killed and Vander could be hurt, and that genuinely scared her. She felt not only nauseous but light-headed and dizzy.

"Are you good? You look green" Celeste asked, giving her a weird look. Luna gave a weak smile nodding holding back a gag.

"Get away," Celeste said, stepping away from the blonde, who held a hand over her mouth before turning and puking on the ground.

"Nasty" Celeste mumbled, the two girls walking ahead. Luna ran up to them, looking like she just got punched, it feels like it.

They continued, eventually making it into The Last Drop, walking into the room uninvited.

"Why are you guys-" Vi began, the four staring at the three girls standing in their doorway.

"I was being nosy and saw everything" Venus shrugged, Vi slowly nodded as they entered.

At first they all just awkwardly stood there, but Celeste broke the silence. "So...are we saving him or-"

"No shit we're saving him" Mylo responded looking over at Vi.

"You guys are coming?" Vi asked, Venus, nodded while Celeste nodded along.

"Do you know where they took him?" Claggor asked, Luna took this as an open invitation to ignore the important conversation and go over to see Powder.

"Ekko followed them, The old cannery next to the docks. He said..." Vi began but stopped and she slowly sighed, looking over at her sister. "I need you to sit this one out, Powder"

"What?" She asks, her face dropping.

"You're not coming" Vi stated, walking over to the bluenette.

"I'm not afraid," Powder said.

"It's too dangerous," Vi responds, looking down at her younger sister.

"But families stick together. You said it yourself" Powder stammered.

"I know what I said-" Vi began.

"I want to fight, I can help" Powder interrupted.

"You're not ready" Vi stated, Powder looked hurt

"You're all I have, I can't lose you" Vi finished, meanwhile Luna, Celeste, and Venus were sitting there trying extremely hard not to laugh, but of course, Luna let out a weird snorting sound hiding her face behind her hand. That was Celeste's breaking point before she began hysterically laughing while Venus let out a giggle before straightening her face.

"Seriously" Mylo deadpanned, Luna snorted again trying to keep a straight face but failed horribly.

"Here, take this. If they come from you, take this and run. Wherever you are, light it up, and I'll find you. I promise" Vi said handing Powder a 'smoke bomb thingy' according to Luna.

Then they walked off, Venus, Celeste, and Luna followed behind but Venus turns around at the doorway.

"Bye, see you when we're done" She smiles shutting the door in the confused blonde's face. Luna opened it up quickly, peeking her head out.

"What?" She yelled.

"You're not coming" The brunette yelled back without turning around and the five of them walked off.
