copy and pasted from google docs :stars eyes:

I already have this scene partly done because I needed to get it out of my brain

And as Harley watched Nate fall, it all stopped. It just...stopped. Time, sound, anything that was happening around her--it stopped. Her eyes teared, they spilled over onto the ground. She fell forward, stopping herself from falling flat on her face with her hands. His voice was already becoming a distant memory.

"Yeah, the name's Nate. You're Harley, right?"
"Nateley against the world!"
"Oh, look, it's the constellation of Macario!"

And then she felt herself getting mad.

She shut her eyes. Squeezed them shut as hard as she could. And when she opened them, they were purple. Not her normal blue-ish green, just pure purple. All around the Lunar Realm, people could feel it. Something in the air was changing. The trees outside the castle bristled and a purple circle started around her. She stood up, as it soon balled around her.

Leafie, Circe, Bee, Asteri, Sappho, Achilles, Altar, Mayday, Mars, Juno, Acadia, Volt even Tonson. All stared.

"Bee, what the hell is happening?!" Leafie asked as Harley's hair turned purple. "I don't know! This might be some sort of human thing?" Bee wondered aloud. In all the time she'd spent studying humans, she had never , and I mean positively never , come across something like this.

"Give him back. Give. Him. BACK!!" Harley didn't yell it like the English version of Anne Boonchuy. No, no. She screamed it like the Korean version.

She leaped up.

"Where'd she go-" Tonson was cut off as a punch came to his face. With everything Harley had, she fired. She didn't know what this was, she didn't care. All they knew was that Tonson had dropped their brother and best friend out of the fucking window and she was going to fuck him up.

He was down. Sitting on the floor, breathing heavily, his face bruised.

"Give him back." Harley said, sitting down. She could hardly breath, her head was pounding, but she was awake. Just felt weak. Her eyes changed back, as did her hair. Well, a few strands stayed purple.

She leaned against the wall as Circe and Leafie took their place next to her.

"Harley?" A voice asked and Harley looked up.

There was Nate. With wings. "Nate! Nate, you're okay!" She giggled breathlessly.

"Yep, the wings came in just in time. Are you okay?" He asked, bending down. "I think so." She replied.

And in the background was slow clapping.

"I see, I see." Tonson said. "Well, looks like I'll have to use this sooner than I want. I had big plans, Harley. And you and your little purple party, ruined them." He reached for a book and whispered something. Then something in Acadia and Mars' eyes changed. Shifted.

And then they bowed. Bowed before the emperor they had hated for years.
