The Sundrop & The Moondrop

- Chapter 62, What Did You Do -

- Princess DawnRise's perspective -

I had finished cleaning up in the daycare since MoonStar was out and Sundrop was sleeping/charging. Then I realised, there was nothing to do now as I waited patiently for MoonStar to return or for Sundrop to come down to the daycare. So I sat, in the middle of the floor I sat and began to look around at the play structures. I was left alone, yet I didn't feel as if I was.. after a while I stopped looking around and began to silently stare at the floor. This didn't help at all, no thoughts were there to fill my head.. nobody was here to even have a conversation. But just as I had begun to drift off to sleep as I sat there, I heard movement in the ball-pit. I assumed this to be Sundrop jumping down again, my guess was correct as I watched him resurface and climb out of the ball-pit.

"Oh, hi Sundrop!" I called out to him, standing up in the process and turning around to properly face him as he walked towards me. "Sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone down here like that.. has Starry returned yet?.." he replied but I shook my head as MoonStar had not yet entered the daycare again. "..Oh, I guess he's going to return a bit late then.." he looked down to the floor before continuing "Well, we could play a game while we wait!" suddenly he had changed his attitude, going from rather sad to completely fine again. "Yeah.. what game though?.." I asked him "Tag?" I nodded and agreed to his suggestion and we began a game of tag as he taught me the rules.

Not even ten minutes into the game, the daycare's wooden double doors opened and in walked MoonStar. "MoonStar's back Sundrop!" I called out to the daycare behind me as I stood infront of MoonStar who had just finished closing the doors behind him. "Starry!!" Sundrop yelled happily, excitedly running towards MoonStar for a hug. I joined in the hug only because he gestured for me to hug him too. MoonStar said nothing as Sundrop and I pulled away and Sundrop began to speak "So.. what did you do?..." MoonStar still didn't answer. "..Did you do something bad or?" Sundrop continued to ask. MoonStar made no attempt to respond, he just stood there blankly like a statue. "...You did, didn't you?..." Sundrop asked, this time MoonStar nodded in response to the question.

"MoonStar, why?.. I thought we promised a long time ago that you wouldn't do this anymore!" Sundrop seemed pretty upset, I decided to just stand there and watch the two of them silently. This was something I didn't know about, therefore I didn't want to interrupt them unless things got out of hand. "..I had to.." MoonStar muttered, this caused Sundrop to yell "Had to!? why?.. I get that he's been a bit of a-... but, that doesn't mean you had to!" he wasn't finished yelling yet, all MoonStar did was stand there silently fiddling with a white marble he'd gotten from one of his pockets. "Starry, do you understand how bad this is? you can't just go running around hurting people again!.. I don't want that to happen again... I hated that.."

Finally, Sundrop seemed to be finished. MoonStar went to speak but it seemed like Sundrop was about to interrupt him, so he stopped and thought about it some more. Then he spoke "..Sundrop, you know I had to.. I know the consequences of my actions and I know that my reasoning does not justify what I have done... but you must understand one thing Sunny, it's part of who I am.. who I was.. and at this point? it's practically just nature.." Sundrop looked down to the floor in hearing this. MoonStar had hurt someone, most likely Glamrock Freddy but I do not know how bad the situation is. Only MoonStar knows that.. and it looks like he doesn't really want to talk about how bad it is right now.

"..I understand, I'm going back upstairs.." Sundrop said, turning to leave but MoonStar stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "Don't, we should all spend some time down here... okay?" he said. Sundrop nodded as a response, maybe he knew that playing games might help him get his mind off of this.
