A few nights went by as I tried to bring back the girl that I once knew. Today, we all hung around Twinkie tower. Y/n was sitting on the couch, watching Buttercup and I play Power Rangers. The other boys stood around the kitchen, talking.

"... and then the bad guy hit your guy." She clashed the bad guy toy against my blue Power Ranger.

"Oh no!" I laid my guy on the ground, "Bleh, I'm dead! Buttercup, take down the bad guy!"

"Okay, but I have to be sneaky!" She put her finger to her lips and shushed. I nodded as she slowly pushed her guy behind the bad guy, then suddenly made her red Power Ranger stomp on the bad guy.

"Yay!" I cheered.

"Look I found the healing potion!" She held a little Lego in hand and hit my guy with it, "Yay! I saved you!"

"The city is saved!" I gave her a high five, then gazed towards Y/n. She was looking back at me. She sent a weak smile, I sent a smile back, "Buttercup, I think it's your bedtime."

"What? No! I don't wanna!" She cried.

"C'mere, let's get you to bed," She pouted as I picked her up. Once she was in bed I came back to the living room and sat next to Y/n. It was mostly quiet, "So, uh-"

"You're really good with her." She said, eyes on the end of her shirt.

"Thanks, she's really easy to take care of, actually." I smiled and was about to say more, when there was a thud. Buttercup ran down the stairs, crying, and went to her mom.

"I-I had a nightmare..." She sobbed.

"Hey, it's okay, come over here." I began, but didn't pick her up as an idea came to mind, Y/n used to sing that song to calm Buttercup, what if...

"Guys!"I picked up Buttercup and ran to the kitchen, "I have an idea! Did any of you bring the guitar?"

"Uhh, yeah, why?" Ray asked, curiously.

"I wanna try something!"

"Alright..." Ray grabbed it from the kitchen island and handed it to me.

"Y/n?" I asked into the living room. She gazed over at me, her eyes were glossy, "Are you alright?" She sniffed and nodded, "Look, I gotta show you something. Can you come with me? Please?" She took a deep breath and got up, following me to the roof.

"I'm not entirely sure if this'll work, but I really hope so." I said, as we both sat on the roof ledge. Buttercup sat between her mom and I as I got the guitar ready.

"Ghoul, what are you gonna do?" Buttercup asked.

"I'm gonna try to save your mom." Y/n looked at me strangely as I began to strum.

"Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see..."

I looked up at her, but nothing had happened, yet, at least.

"...Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me..."

Before I could begin the next word, she started singing.

"Who said that every wish

Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
