Legend of the Seven Lights

20. Symphonia

Time to conclude the Song Saga with a crossover world of the worst Disney movie ever! X) Nah, it was probably good; compared to sequel films. XP

Chapter 20: Symphonia

Symphonia; approaching Fantasia

The R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N. zoomed into the atmosphere of the musical planet, music lines and notes flying by their side as they pierced the fluffy clouds. "'ey, get away, ya crazy song-sans! I tryin' ta focus, go find some birdies!"

Haruka Dimalanta lied on her front on her train bench, her long raven hair unraveled while Aeincha brushed it smooth. The Lilliputian stood on Haru's right arm and held the comb in both of hers, its teeth watered as Aein exerted much strength in holding and brushing. "Arigato, Aeinchan." Haru smiled. "I didn't find time to comb after Dressrosa. It's not too hard for you, is it?"

"Nope! Your hair is really soft and pretty, Haru-chan." Aein beamed. "Your rose is really pretty, too. I don't see purple roses often."

"It's very pretty!" Mary grinned, twirling said rose in her fingers. "Purple is fun, it's close to blue, which I really like! You ever play 'Loves Me, Loves Me Not'?"

"Not if it means destroying a rose." Haruka said. "Besides, the outcome doesn't set in stone the person's feelings towards you."

"There's a trick to winning it: you can pluck off the stem petals, too."

"Well, a close friend gave it to me, so I wouldn't kill it. ...Are you done, Aeincha?"

"After I tie the pigtails and rose on. Unless you wanna keep it long."

"Hmmm... not yet. Pigtails make me look youthful."

"Heehee, okay!"

"You're very great at what you do!" Meloetta grinned, floating above them. The spirit's hair was now light-green and hanging long, her eyes matching the color. "I love hair almost as much as music! We should do each other's one day!"

"That'd be great! Your hair looks amazing, Meloetta-san, I'm excited to style it."

Sugar looked at them a few seats away, frowning. She pulled back her hood and felt the edge of her short hair. Same as always. She stood at the nails of her fingers and toes. Very short. "Something wrong?" Chris asked. He was sitting next to her.

"My hair and nails don't grow anymore. At first, I liked that about my curse since it was time-consuming to cut them. But the idea of cutting them on a regular basis... it gives you a feeling of growth. Well, that's what I wanna think. I've seen the way girls dye their hair or change their shape... they know that life changes every day and they embrace it. I want that feeling."

"If you ask me, you got it. You were making toys yesterday, now you're going to a music planet with some kids who used to hate you."

"Used to?"

"I mean, I still don't like you. But if Cheren thinks you're alright, well I won't argue. But we're concerned for his tendency to date so many girls at once."

Sugar chuckled, sporting a smile. "Don't worry, Sugar!" Meloetta floated beside her and rubbed Sugar's hair. "Me and Aeincha will style your hair one day, too!"

"And your nails!" Aeincha was by Sugar's feet and observing the nails. "Promise to let me know when they start growing. I wanna be the first to give you a pedicure!"

"Hm hm hm! I won't forget!" Sugar giggled.

"Good evening, passenger-sans, this be your captain, the greatest train ever is taking land on a weird-ass planet of music and colors. Get off and no throwing up!!" Chimney screamed. ("Gyom-gyom!") (Play "Harmony" from Rayman.)
