7: Look And You Will Find

M knew if she wanted to know more about the Wishing Star, she would have to talk to the animatronic who knows about it: Eclipse. She didn't think he would question her too much, right?

... Right?

She looked around the daycare for him, seeing him on the balcony overlooking the daycare, walking into the room She quickly rushed over to where the line from the ceiling hung, grabbing it and bringing it over to in front of the Ball pit. She pulled on it, and it started to retract into the ceiling, lifting M with it. She swung, letting go of it as she landed on the balcony. She stepped into the room that it led into, looking around for Eclipse. She could overhear Him and Moon talking in the Computer room. She was about to go in until she heard what they were talking about.

"-And now he won't let me do it anymore!" Moon exclaimed.

"Did Sun give you a reason why?" Eclipse asked.

"No," Moon muttered. "But since I told him of the wishing star I found in the first world I was in, he made Computer close the portal, and he won't open it for me!"

M's eyes widened upon hearing this. Moon found another wishing star!? She leaned in to listen, making sure she wasn't seen.

"But what about M?" Eclipse seemed worried. "She'll be devastated if she hears that we have to stop looking for her friend,... What did she call her again?"

"Alenmine," Moon told him. He sighed. "I have no clue what to tell her."

M clenched her fists, blinking back tears. She took a silent deep breath, then went back to the balcony, jumping and grabbing onto the ceiling line. She lowered herself down to the ground, then went to find Sun. He was talking with Earth and Lunar, seemingly arguing. She stayed hidden behind one of the play structures, watching them.

"Sun, M is worried sick about her friend!" Earth exclaimed. "You can't just tell her that she can't see them anymore just because Moon found a wishing star in one of the worlds!"

"I can, and I will!" Sun argued. "I don't want anyone to get hurt! If that means she has to stay here and her friend stays wherever she is, then it's fine. She'll understand." He started to walk off from the other two but was stopped by M herself. "M! W-we were just talking about you!" Sun stuttered, noticing her angry demeanor.

"Understand?" She asked. "Oh, I understand, Sundrop. You don't care, do you? All you care about is the little family you have here!" She stomped the floor, making Sun take a step back. "The only reason that I'm still here is because of how much the others care for me, isn't it?"

"N-no, of course not!" Sun exclaimed holding his hands up in defense. "I-I just don't want anyone to get hurt!"

"Who knows how much Alenmine is getting hurt right now!" M snapped. "She could be in danger! I need to help her!"

"M please-" Lunar started but was interrupted by M.

"I can't believe you, sun!" M screamed as she ran out of the daycare.

She kept running until she ran out of breath. Looking around, she saw that she was in the main atrium in the Pizzaplex, the big holograms of the Glamrocks on stage. She fell to her knees and started to cry.

Where are you, Dou?" She muttered, hiccuping. "Where did you go?" She closed her eyes, holding her head in her hands as she sobbed. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears away, taking a deep breath. M stood up, clenching her fists. "I'm going to find you, no matter what they say. I'll get those damn A.I.s to open the portal so I can find you. And if I can't."

"I'll find the Wishing Star, and I'll wish that I'll find you."
