“I don’t know what to say...”, buttercream rambled for the sixteenth time since we entered field 6. “Just say what you feel, okay?” “It’s just... Sharing that with me must have taken a lot of courage.” Trinity looked away at the pyramid. Oh sorry. I have to catch you up. After we left the cage, there was a pedestal with a cube on top. We’d just unlocked field 6. 3D stuff. But once we entered, we got jumbled up into a million groups. At the same time, everyone seemed to be mourning Noel’s death except for Trinity. I was as suspicious of her as Batman was of Superman. Wait. Who are those people? “I think I just remembered something. Batman And Superman. Two names.” And then the lights went off as the lights went on. I stood in front of two aisles. I knew it was a dream still because nothing else appeared except for a kid aged around 4, a mom I didn’t know, and me. The mom asked “What toy do you want, Sadie? Barbie is very popular with kids your age. Or Hello kitty?” “No. I want Superman.” “Very funny. Now pick.” “It’s not funny.” And just then I realized I was living buttercream’s flashback. “I don’t like dolls. I want to be a-“ “We’ll talk about that with your father when we get home, todd. Since you won’t pick, I’m getting you Batman.” The dream faded away. I saw a girl planning for a wedding. “Abby, what kind of flowers do you think will fit your purple aesthetic?” I talked though I didn’t want to. “Zoe, you know I’m ace.” “Abby, I know. And he knows too. I’m trying to help you. Because you can be ace around him and mom won’t interfere. Plus, it’s not even legal. You’re fake-marrying your gay best friend as an ace person, while he’s an important figure in human rights. The phone rang. It was her mother. “Yes!” She hang up “We don’t have to fake a wedding. She’s not coming. She figured it out. She’s not understanding still, but she does understand the plan to live with Fabian.” I remembered this. Buttercream seemed to remember it too. The lights went on as the lights went off. “Piper. That’s my name. My real name. The one I deserve.” I calmed him down after he cried. “I know about that wedding. It’s familiar. How do I know you?” “That’s a secret we don’t know yet, but I’m sure we will.” And those words are what inspired Trinity to tell them everything. Well, except she left out Aidan, her past, and her alias. She basically used her persuasion skills to tell them about reverse brainwashing. But not about Noel or her. In fact, Now that I think about it, I’m kind of glad she’s gone.
