(I know this video was made during the pandemic but I just had an idea with an OC I had during that time....VannaOrange)
A couple hours later....
Lemon hears a knock on the door and hears it open not bothered to turn the other way....
"FOR THE LAST TIME MELON QUEEN, LE-"
"O-oh! My queen! I-I'm so so sorry!"
She turns the other way seeing a orange haired twin-drilled person with an orange slice on her head with a white and orange outfit....VannaOrange.
"Oh....it's you."
"I-I'm very sorry....I-I'll leave."
Before Orange could walk out the door....she heard Lemon's voice call out to her.
"Stop."
This caused her to turn her head around.
"Y-yes, my queen?"
Lemon lets out a deep sigh.
"Don't leave....I'm....sorry I yelled. The dumb melon queen walked in here two hours ago and tried to lecture me about melons and lemons working together. What a load of bullsh*t. Not to mention she mentioned....THAT....name."
Orange has a worried expression on her face understanding the situation.
"I'm....very sorry to hear that, my queen."
"Listen....I don't normally give you this order but....come over here. I want to talk to you."
"Oh....of course."
Orange walks over and sits next to Lemon on her bed.
"What is that you're holding?"
"Oh....it's tonight's dinner. I thought I'd bring it up to you since you can't really walk right now. And I brought you some wine."
Lemon sits up seeing how well prepared it was and her glass of red wine.
"....Heh....you remembered."
"Yes, anything for you."
Orange places them on the bedside table before turning to her.
"What was it you want to talk to me about, my queen?"
This causes Lemon to turn to her revealing her other eye is healed which almost makes Orange yelp but covers her mouth in shock to keep herself from screaming.
"I know, real shocker....but that's part of what....SHE....did to me....and that stupid melon queen...."
Orange's expression turns into a concerned expression as she bunches up her knees.
"I....want to ask you some questions...."
"Firstly...."
"....Why do you still serve me? October after October....and....now I'm nothing....so what are you still doing here?"
Orange becomes shocked but worried at that statement....which leads to putting a hand on her shoulder making her flinch.
"....I'm still here because I love to serve you....after all this time....I supported you in your goals....in taking down Melon....I want to stay by your side....even if us and the melons are on the same page...."
Lemon looks up at her.
"Who said that we're on the same page? Sure, we're under the same roof as her....but that doesn't mean sh*t. I still hate seeing her face along with those stupid melonheads."
"I-I'm sorry, my queen."
Lemon takes the plate of food and eats a little before speaking again.
"Here's another thing....how can you stay by a lemon who lost everything? You're a citrus fruit, you're a sweeter and a popular fruit."
"That's it, a citrus fruit. My queen, you're a citrus fruit too. That makes us related by our roots."
Lemon sighs before putting down her plate.
"You don't have to keep calling me "my queen" anymore....I'm not even a lemon queen at this point...."
"Of course you are....you'll always be my lemon queen to me. You're just at your lowest....maybe when October comes....we'll find a way to not only get your powers back but maybe have new ones. Even if we do team up with the melon queen, everything will turn back to normal soon enough. You just have to have hope....citrus and sour fruits don't quit."
There was a long silence before Orange was suddenly pulled into a hug startling her.
"M-m-m-my queen-"
"Shut up....just....shut up...."
Orange was confused....but she returns the hug making Lemon tremble.
"....Okay...."
They stayed like this for a while until Lemon lets her go.
"If you tell anyone about this....I'll end you. Got it?"
"O-of course, my queen."
Orange gets up and was about to walk out the door.
"Orange?"
Orange turns back to Lemon.
"Yes?"
Lemon gives a small smile.
"....Thank you....and please....call me Lemon."
Orange returns the same smile.
"Of course, m-I-I mean....Lemon."
She closes the door leaving Lemon feeling a little better about the situation before turning back to the window.
