Sunset’s breath was knocked out of her she felt herself colliding with a figure. Letting out a panicked shriek, her right hand light up in a shroud of white hot fire, heat filling up the area as she looked at the figure that hit her… and immediately froze.

Her breathing began to lessen, and seemed more at ease as she looked into his soft brown eyes. “I… I was walking through the city… I went down an alleyway to get away from some muggers and slipped through a manhole cover. I figured I could lose them in here.” She said, wiping her eyes. “I… I got lost a little after. I followed a pipe, and… and… I found this-this… thing! I don’t even know what it is!” She said, her voice a panicked whisper. “Please… please help me!” She cried, tears flowing once more as reached out for this mysterious being.

{~🔬  Donnie stares at her for a moment, chest heaving and chestnut eyes staring widely at the girl in front of him. A human girl is down in the sewer, looking worse for the wear. Dirty, tattered clothes, mussed hair and even damp though the smell isn’t strong enough to touch his nose as he’s lived down here his entire life. 

  Pushing past his shock for a moment he pushes himself up so that he can attempt to calm the panicked girl who’s talking fast and low, almost as if she’s afraid of someone overhearing.

      “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take a breath, calm down…you’re safe now.”

  Donnie reaches a comforting hand to gently touch the girls shoulder as she reached for him. His demeanor attempting to become soothing and comforting, even lowering his height to be more eye level with her and not hovering over her.

      “Now, what is it that you saw?”      🔬~}

At this point, Sunset didn’t even care about the fact that her new acquaintance’s hand felt massive on her shoulder, but it was comforting nonetheless. She took a deep, shaky breath and gently rubbed her hand against the being’s before tucking some stray hair behind her ear.

“I… oh, sweet Celestia, I probably sound insane, but… it look like some kind of… like some giant fucking mutated squirrel looking thing. Like something out of a horror movie!” She said.

“I thought I was gonna die down here, but… I’m just happy to see someone else down here. Thank you…” She trailed off, unsure what to call the new person.

“Hey, don’t worry about it, ok squirt?” Shimmer said. “Besides, I’m honestly just glad you agreed to come with me.” She wrapped an arm around Sav and pulled her in close, asking “So, anything your hungry for? And don’t tell me you aren’t hungry because I heard your stomach earlier.” She said, giving Savannah’s tummy a poke.

“… Well, I-I’m not really hungry for anything.. l-like, I’m hungry, but I-I don’t really.. wanna eat? I dunno why…”

“I was n-never told that.. being s-s-sad made you hungry.” She shrugged. “Maybe.. maybe salad..?”

“Well, being sad doesn’t usually make you hungry, not unless you don’t eat for a couple of days. And Joseph did mention that.” Shimmer said. “Look, how about this: I saw a little burger joint in town. We’ll go there, and you can try to eat a little something ok? I just don’t want you starving to death or anything squirt.”

“Well, then if you’re not depressed, then I wanna see a smile, and I I don’t, I’m gonna freakin’ tickle you so hard…” she said, gently poking the girl in the ribs.

“And don’t worry Joe… She’ll be safe with me. I’d die before I let anything or anyone hurt her.”

“Ah’m holdin’ ya to that. Make sure she eats somethin’.”

Savanna only sighed and clung to Shimmer’s arm. “I’m s-sorry I made y-y-you worry so much…”

“Hey, don’t worry about it, ok squirt?” Shimmer said. “Besides, I’m honestly just glad you agreed to come with me.” She wrapped an arm around Sav and pulled her in close, asking “So, anything your hungry for? And don’t tell me you aren’t hungry because I heard your stomach earlier.” She said, giving Savannah’s tummy a poke.

“Then it’s settled.” Shimmer said with a grin. “Come on, we’re gonna get some food. I’m actually pretty hungry.” She said. “And you… I wanna see at least one smile from you be the end of the day, ok? This depression thing doesn’t really suit you. I know this hurts, but I promise, it’ll be ok, Sav.”

“I-I’m not depressed.” Savanna pouted and stood up, shuffling toward the door.

“Ehh.. ‘m not one fer sweets. Ya take care of my little girl, though, uh…” Joseph rubbed his chin.

“Shimmer..?”

“Ah. Skittle. Got it.”

“Well, then if you’re not depressed, then I wanna see a smile, and I I don’t, I’m gonna freakin’ tickle you so hard…” she said, gently poking the girl in the ribs.

“And don’t worry Joe… She’ll be safe with me. I’d die before I let anything or anyone hurt her.”

Shimmer let out a large sigh as she said, “Ok… ok, I won’t. But only if you get out of the house with me for a bit, ok? You look like you need it. I’ll even get you some ice cream. Any kind you want. That sound good?” She said, flashing a grin at Savannah.

“Ehhh… I’m not h-hungry..”

“Bull-sheeeit.” Joseph muttered, and as if told to, her stomach growled. “Ya ‘aven’t eaten anythin’ in two days.”

“.. I guess ice cream’s o-okay ..”

“Then it’s settled.” Shimmer said with a grin. “Come on, we’re gonna get some food. I’m actually pretty hungry.” She said. “And you… I wanna see at least one smile from you be the end of the day, ok? This depression thing doesn’t really suit you. I know this hurts, but I promise, it’ll be ok, Sav.”

“Look, I’m sure Nero doesn’t hate you, Sav… if anything, he was jealous that you were wanting to spend time with this new guy instead of him. And if that’s the case, then he needs to try to understand where you’re coming from a bit. Do you want me to talk to him?”

“N-No! N-No, don’t– don’t t-talk to him, please? H-He’ll hate me more.”

“Can’t hate ya if ah shoot ‘im.” Joseph offered, once again. “Makin’ a lil’ girl sick like tha’. Back in my day–”

“D-D-Don’t SHOOT him!”

Shimmer let out a large sigh as she said, “Ok… ok, I won’t. But only if you get out of the house with me for a bit, ok? You look like you need it. I’ll even get you some ice cream. Any kind you want. That sound good?” She said, flashing a grin at Savannah.

“Savannah Mottram, you look at me.” She said, gently grasping her chin in her head and gently turning her head up. “You. Are not. Going to hell. Besides, even if you did, don’t you think I do everything I can to get you out of there?” She said, wrapping a strong arm around her and pulling her in close.

“.. O-O-Okay ..” Savanna sniffed, rubbing her eyes again before clinging onto Shimmer tightly. “I-I just – I really, really- r-really– r-really miss him a-and I want him to not h-hate me and I-I-I keep screwing up.”

“Look, I’m sure Nero doesn’t hate you, Sav… if anything, he was jealous that you were wanting to spend time with this new guy instead of him. And if that’s the case, then he needs to try to understand where you’re coming from a bit. Do you want me to talk to him?”
