"So she hasn't moved since she came back?" I heard Candy whisper to my mom as they both stood in the doorway of my room. I had my back turned, but I know it's the two of them there.

"No. I have no idea what happened to her. One minute she rushes out of the house, and the next, I find her here in bed, not talking to me or her father" It goes quiet for a moment. I can almost see the look on my mothers face. The way she holds her hands together under her chin when she's worried, and the sad look on her face."Please Candy, can you talk to her. I'm sure she just needs her best friend here with her"

"Leave it to me, Mrs. Shy!" Candy says with a confident tone. The door closes and I immediately feel someone jump and land on the end of my bed. "Hey, Autty. You know if you mope around for too long you're going to miss the festival"

"I'm not moping around, I'm moping in bed..." I mumble into the sheets as she crawls around so she can see my face.

"Same thing silly. Why are you upset? Did something happen?" She asked, tilting her head.

I open my mouth to answer her before I shut it again. I can't just tell her what happened, I barely know what happened myself. I'm not who I thought I was for the last ten years of my life? How would I just blurt that out to someone?

'I'm actually some strange creature from another world, wow I feel so much better now'

"If only it was that easy to explain..."

"If what was easy?" Candy questions.

I cover my face even more as I blush from embarrassment. I can't even tell when I'm speaking out loud, how am I going to keep this a secret?

I look back at Candy to see her scowling at me.

"What?" I ask.

"Are you keeping something from me?" She asked, still mad.

S-shoot!

"W-w-what makes you say that?" I stutter nervously as I sweat, "I would never lie to you Candy"

Her eyes narrowed even more.

" Now you're telling double-lies!? I don't understand you anymore Autumn!" She says pointing a finger accusingly at me.

"I mean it, I'm not hiding anything!" I say sitting up while holding my hands up defensively.

"Triple-lie!"

"Really Candy-"

"Quadruple-lie!"

"I'm okay now, Really!-"

"Five- um? 'Whatever comes after quadruple'-lie!"

"Candy!-"

"Should I keep counting!?"

I start to argue again but instead, I sigh in defeat.

"Fine, you caught me" I groan, "You know, you should be a lawyer or something"

"Hmph!" She smiles triumphantly and crosses her arms,"Now! Tell me what's really going on. And I want the whole truth and nothing but the truth!"

"Alright I will, but you have to promise not to freak out, and don't tell anyone, and promise to still be my friend after," She nods and crosses a finger over her chest. "Good."

I take a deep breath. And explain everything.

"I'm not really Autumn, Or at least I don't think I am. I was born here, and I've only known this life, but apparently, I used to someone else...before I died. it had something to do with my uncle Discord and the princesses. And some demon named Typhon who's trying to take over the world, but I'm not sure how he's involved with me," I trail off and glance to the side in thought before looked back at Candy, "My name used to be Lilian, and I died in a car accident with five other people. That's all I really know, or understand since I basically got a vision of my whole...two lives up until now. I-I don't really know who I am. I c-can't even tell if I'm Lilian or Autumn anymore." Tears start to run down my face.

I avoid looking directly at Candy as I wiped the tears from my eyes. When I do look up she has a blank look on her face, and her mouth is agape as if she was in shock.

"I'm sorry Candy. I didn't mean to..." I almost reached out to hug her, but I hesitantly brought my arms back. "Sorry"

I turn to walk out of the room, but a hand grabbed mine and pulled me back.

"W-wait Lilly!"

Instantly, I whipped my head back around just as Candy shouted that. She pulls me back to face her as she studied my face.

"I-is it...are you sure? Are you Lillian?!" She asked hastily. I nodded and she smiled, "I knew it...I had a feeling...That I didn't come here alone!"

"Candy?"

"Yes, it's me! It's me, Lilly, I'm Candice!" She hugs me tightly, "I found you! I really did it"

I hear her sobbing into my shoulder as we both slump to the ground. She cries as she mumbles "I found you, Finally" over and over again.

"Candy...I... you kept the promise" I start crying too.

"Mhm!" Candy hums, she pulls away from the hug and smiles brightly.

"Yup. it's no problem. I'll...wake you up when someone finds us okay?" I give her my best smile.

"Alright I'll see you then," She says smiling back.

"Yup and we'll have to plan to meet up after this is all over okay!"

"Yeah"

"Yeah I did"
