Motel.

As soon as Sunset Shimmer entered the room, he said

, "Gentlemen, can you let me go take a shower first?"

Daniel: "Absolutely! Sean

: "Ladies first." "

Thanks, gentlemen."

Sunset Shimmer smiled and pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.

"Wow Sean, this bed is really soft, but there are only two beds, and there are three of us, what should we do?"

Daniel said, sitting on one of the only two beds in the room.

"I'll just lay a bunk."

Sean placed the backpack that Brody had given him on a chair.

He took out a note from it and shook it.

Brody said that the hotel here only had a maximum of two rooms, and he could only book one room.

"Brody left it, let me see!"

Daniel immediately jumped out of bed and in front of Sean.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

Sean handed the note to Daniel.

Daniel took the note and read:

"I'm sorry, Sean, the hotel here only has a maximum of two beds, and a person can only book one room at most, so~ take care of the two children, I need to trouble you to sleep on the floor today." - Brodie"

After Daniel finished reading the note, Sean pulled out another set of clothes from his backpack.

He spread out his clothes and looked at them, they were much smaller than his, but they matched Daniel's.

"Brody is always so kind."

Sean whispered a word and folded his clothes aside.

When he looked up, he saw Daniel sitting on one bed for a while, then running to another.

So he asked, "Have you chosen your bed, Daniel?"

Daniel shook his head: "Not yet, I think this bed is very good, but it's too far away from the TV." Sean

continued: "I think you'd better choose it before you sit on it, although she certainly won't mind, but after all, it's a bed for girls to sleep in, so~you know." "

You're right, um... I'll sleep in this bed!

Daniel thought for a moment and sat down on the bed closest to the TV in the room.

Sean shrugged: "If you like it, it's fine." He

walked over to the door and window, sat down in a chair, and took out a sketchbook and pen.

Daniel sat cross-legged on the bed with shiitake mushrooms in his arms.

He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and in an instant, cheerful music immediately resounded throughout the room.

"Cool! "Hawt Dawg Man" is on!

Daniel excitedly looked at the two hot dog men with eyes and mouths on the TV.

"Daniel, could you please turn down the TV?"

At this time, the sunset shimmer came from the bathroom.

"Oh! Sorry, Shimmer.

Daniel immediately picked up the remote control and turned down the volume.

"Thank you very much!"

Sunset shimmered and relaxed, slowly lying in the bathtub, the hot water at just the right temperature covering nearly 80% of her body.

"Comfortable~ When was the last time you took a hot bath?"

She closed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself.

The long-lost bath relaxed her tired body and spirit.

After a while.

"Bathtub, I really want to soak with you for a night..."Sunset

Shimmer stood outside the bathtub and wiped his body with the bath towel prepared in the hotel.

"But there are still two gentlemen outside waiting to take a shower, so we have to say goodbye~"

She got dressed and left the bathroom like a scumbag who had just finished playing with men.

"Gentlemen, who's next, the bathtub and hot water here are really amazing!"

Sunset Shimmer came to the room, and she said as she looked at the two people in the room.

"Uh-huh... Sean, I'll wash it after watching this episode.

Daniel, who was sitting on the bed watching TV, thought for a moment and decisively postponed the best time of the day for the shower

, "Okay, I'll go later."

Sean, who was holding a sketchbook by the door and window, took Daniel's words.

[I can't believe I can draw Daniel out without having to get him to stop moving every two seconds]

he thought to Daniel, who was watching TV in his sketchbook.

[Well, that's good, but Shimmer is out, and I'll have to add her in and add a few more details by the way.]

He observed the glimmer of the sunset leaning against the head of the bed and the whole room, and then picked up his pen again and drew in his sketchbook.

After a while.

Sean's painting is complete.

He glanced at Daniel, who was tilting his head slightly, and thought, "[Daniel is so quiet when he's watching TV...].

[The old brother at this time is really rare~]

At this time, Sean noticed the sunset shimmer on the other bed, and pulled the ends of the hair hanging from his ears back behind his ears.

[The glimmer of the cloak is really a different flavor...].

[Usually wearing a ponytail and the whole person is gentle and elegant, exuding the atmosphere of a scholar, but now the cape is like a different person, and the temperament has changed from beautiful to handsome, and it feels like a... Big sister?

Sean looked at Sunset Shimmer, who was looking down at his phone, and commented in his heart.

The sunset glimmer, who was communicating with Ava on her phone, felt a gaze stay on her.

She looked up, just in time for Sean's vision to meet her vision.

["Is there something wrong?"]

Sunset Shimmer smiled at Sean, her eyes inquiring.

[Ahh No!

Sean shook his head awkwardly.

Sunset Shimmer stared at Sean suspiciously for a few seconds, then withdrew his gaze and continued to communicate with Ava.

[Almost disgraced.]

Sean breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He got up and put his sketchbook back in his backpack.

[It's time to say goodbye to modern life...].

Sean picked up the charging phone from the cabinet, pushed the doors and windows open and walked out onto the balcony.

...

"Miss, the helmet procedure is complete."

"Well done Ava, get everything ready and come to me."

"Yes, miss."

"By the way, what did Chris say?"

"Mr. Chris said that the next time he goes out, remember to tell him in advance, he is about to die of worry."

"Okay, okay, apologize to him for me, Ava."

"Roger."

"Whew~"

Sunset Shimmer exhaled.

[It seems that I'm too self-conscious, there are still people in this world who are worried about me~]

She turned off the screen of her phone on her chest, closed her eyes, and recalled the conversation with Ava just now.

♫♫

♫ ♫

"Hey! ♫♫

Glimmer, do you want to dance together?

At this time, "Banquet" played on the TV, and Daniel stood on the bed and danced happily.

He followed the music and played the guitar.

"No, Daniel..."

Sunset Glimmer picked up her phone and shook it.

"I've got something to do."

"Oh ↘ well~"

Daniel lowered his head in frustration.

It was clear from his tone that his enthusiasm had diminished considerably.

"Don't be disappointed, Daniel, you can ask Sean, he's coming."

Click~

Sean pushed open the door and window and walked in, with faint tears on his face.

He noticed that he was a little confused when he looked at the two people in the room in unison.

"What's wrong?"

"Daniel invites you to join him at the bedtime ball."

Sunset Shimmer pointed at Daniel with a horizontal thumbs.

Sean looked at Daniel.

"Are you coming?"

Daniel looked at Sean with anticipation in his eyes.

"Are you kidding?"

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

"Do you remember this song?!" Come on!

Daniel danced to the music again.

"Let's dance!"

[Wait a minute, he's so happy now, I can't bear to discourage his enthusiasm.]

Daniel's gracious invitation made Sean decide to put that thing on hold for a while.

The corners of Sean's mouth curled slightly, and he took off his shoes and climbed into bed.

"Oh! I haven't played Guitar Warrior in years! "

You've never scored more than me!"

"You're playing in easy mode, and I'm playing in master mode, man!"

"You're jealous! I'm the best guitarist! "

[Maybe~]

The sunset shimmer on the other bed, watching the cheerful appearance of the two brothers, the worries in my heart dissipated.

"Wang~Wang~"

Sean and Daniel danced freely on the bed, and the mushrooms on the side of the bed were infected by their emotions, and they were lying on the ground happily making doggy harmonies for the music.

A few minutes later.

Sean jumped out of bed and turned off the TV with the remote control.

"Daniel, come here—"

He put down the remote and covered his face.

"We've got to talk."

Daniel jumped on the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Can we have a drink first?"

He looked up at Sean in front of him.

"I'm so thirsty...

," Sean sighed, "Now?

Daniel nodded.

"You said I could drink a can of Coke... Or something else.

He looked at Sean pleadingly.

"Well... I'm going to buy you a soda. Sean

compromised, after all, it was what he promised, as for telling him the truth...

"But when I get back, we'll have to talk, I'll be serious."

He looked

at Daniel solemnly and said word by word, "Fine..."

, Daniel replied, Sean nodded, then turned around and walked outside, there was a drink vending machine at the staircase of the hotel.

Passing by the bed of the sunset shimmer, Sean suddenly remembered something.

"Glimmer, do you want something?"

"Hmm... I'll go buy it with you.

Sunset Shimmer thought about it for a moment and wasn't sure what to go with, so she got out of bed, put on her shoes and followed Sean out of the room.

"What's the big deal,"

Daniel muttered quietly as he looked at Sean's back.

Outside the door.

Sean and Sunset Shimmer walked side by side towards the drink vending machine.

"You're going to tell him the truth?"

"Well, it's time for him to know, the longer this drags on, the more troublesome it becomes."

"Looks like you've figured it out."

Sunset Shimmer leaned against the vending machine and watched Sean flip coins into the machine.

"yes,"

Sean threw $1 into the machine.

"I had a phone call with Leila when I was on the balcony, and then I watched the video of my time with my father."

Gada ~ Coke falls from the shelves to the pick-up gate.

"Leila? She must be worried about you, right? "

Well, the messages she sent swiped my phone."

Sean nodded and took out the Coke.

"I can imagine it."

Sunset Shimmer shrugged his shoulders and threw two coins into the machine.

"I just contacted Ava and she told me that Chris was dying."

Gada~ A bottle of strawberry-flavored soda fell to the pick-up gate.

"Hahaha, I bet you'll be spanked by Mr. Chris when you get back."

"Maybe."

Sunset Shimmer smiled and took out the soda.

At this moment, all the lights in the hallway flashed as if they were out of contact.

"What is this?"

“dad!!!"

Sunset Shimmer noticed the strange sight, but before she could figure out what was happening, a miserable cry entered her ears.

"Daniel!"

Sean, who was beside her, immediately rushed to the room.

Sunset Shimmer also reacted quickly and followed him.

Click!

“Fuck!"

Sean pushed open the door and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Wow~"

The sunset shimmer standing beside him let out an exclamation.

Daniel stood barefoot in the center of the room and looked up at the TV on the wall, all the small decorations in the room were inexplicably rotating clockwise around him, and all the lighting around him was affected.

Shiitake felt a change in the magnetic field around Daniel, which scared her, but she was also worried about her master's safety, so she stood not far from Daniel and barked at him.

The things around you are turning faster and faster.

"Oh my god..."

, Sean looked at Daniel in the center in horror.

"Daniel?! What the hell is going on?! "

Daniel, calm down!"

Daniel turned his head and looked at Sean indifferently.

"You lied to me!"

"Daddy! Daddy is dead! Why? Anger

appeared on his cold face.

A list of those killed in the Seattle shooting was playing on the television, with Esteban's picture on it.

Daniel, whose emotions gradually got out of control, made Sean feel bad, and he lowered his body and said with longing in his tone:

"Calm down, Daniel! Let's talk, please. "

You know Daddy is dead! You already knew!

Daniel didn't listen to Sean, and he yelled at Sean loudly and with a crying voice.

A vase flew towards Sean, and just as he was about to hit Sean, his body suddenly fell backwards.

"Are you alright?"

Sunset Glimmer asked, holding Sean's clothes in one hand, it was she who had just rescued Sean from seeing red.

Sean looked at the shards of glass on the ground in fear.

"Glimmer, I'm fine, thank you."

He turned his face sideways and thanked him.

Sunset Shimmer patted him on the shoulder, then walked over to him and confronted Daniel.

"Daniel, can you calm down? Let's talk.

"Glimmer, it's none of your business, you go away!"

Daniel changed from his usual lively and cheerful past, and he said indifferently to the sunset shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer took a few steps forward with difficulty, and she clasped her hands to her chest and said

, "No, I also knew about Esteban's death for a long time."

The magnetic field around her caused her untied hair to fly in the air.

"What? Why are you lying to me too?!

Daniel's indifferent face instantly turned into an expression of disbelief.

"No, I didn't lie to you, Daniel, we didn't lie to you."

Sunset Shimmer shook her head.

"Actually, you already knew the news, you witnessed the whole process of Mr. Esteban's death."

"But it hit you so hard that your brain decided to make you forget this memory out of a protective mechanism, which is why you were in a coma for the first two days."

She watched as an incredulous Daniel recounted all the details.

Daniel looked down at his hands and muttered, "This...

"It's true, Daniel, I grew up learning a lot Xi my mother about medicine, which is called directed forgetting, or selective forgetting."

Sunset Shimmer sideways to dodge a desk lamp flying towards her.

"Selective forgetting, you know?"

"I know,"

Daniel still kept his head down, he hadn't seen the thrilling scene just now, and if he did, he might have calmed down in an instant.

"But why didn't you tell me?!"

He looked at the two of them with an angry look on his face.

"Stand back, Shimmer."

"Hmm."

Sean stepped forward to block Sunset Shimmer behind him, and Sunset Shimmer answered before holding Shiitake in his arms and pushing him to relative safety.

"It's not about Glimmer, I want her not to tell you."

"Why?!"

"I just want to protect you until I can..."

Won't you be hurt?!

Daniel glared at Sean viciously, and the closet on the side was forcibly opened because of his mood swings.

"I hate you!"

At this moment, Daniel's heart collapsed, and he burst into tears and his eyes were blank.

"You're not my brother! Woo~"

[No, no, no!] Daniel.]

This sentence broke Sean's heart deeply, but even so, he still slowly approached Daniel.

"Daniel, calm down, okay?"

"Stay away from me!"

Daniel took a step back.

"I hate you... "

His performance didn't keep Sean from stopping.

"Shhh

"Don't touch me!"

Just as Sean was about to hug Daniel, Daniel pushed him violently.

Sean was pushed back by him and almost fell.

"Daniel! Please!

Sean quickly adjusted his balance and hugged Daniel again.

"No~"

Daniel is still struggling, but even so, Sean will not stop.

Sean held Daniel in his arms, his mouth constantly learning his father's boos to comfort Daniel's emotions.

"It's okay,"

Sean comforted with a faint cry.

"Ahem~Woo woo... I want Daddy—"

Daniel leaned into his arms with his eyes closed sadly.

"Me too—"

Sean had tears in his eyes as he hugged Daniel tightly.

Daniel suddenly remembered that Sean's grief was no less than his, but Sean did not hesitate to ask for help from Sunset Shimmer for him these days, used one lie after another to protect his emotions, and took good care of him, while Sean himself had to suppress his sadness in his heart every day.

Daniel can't think of any reason to continue to be angry, Sean has given too much for him... His emotions calmed down instantly with Sean's "Me Too", and the things floating around him fell back to the ground.

Daniel breaks free from Sean's arms.

"You told me we were going to find Daddy,"

he asked Sean, crying.

"I'm sorry... I know..."

Sean put his hands on Daniel's shoulders, two tears running down his cheeks, and he didn't know how to answer Daniel.

"Don't lie to me anymore... Forever.

Daniel looked into Sean's eyes with a hopeful desire in his eyes, and he wanted his answer, which would affect him for the rest of his life.

"I promise, I'll never lie to you again."

Sean looked at Daniel solemnly.

"I promise."

"I'm serious, Sean."

"I know... I hope so, Daniel.

Sean and Daniel sat quietly next to each other, forehead to forehead.

"What are the two of us going to do without Dad?"

"Shhhh It's going to be fine, it's going to be okay..."

"yes, everything is going to be fine, you still have me and Shiitake mushrooms."

Sunset Shimmer joins the wolves with shiitake mushrooms.

...

On a moving bus.

"Sean, Shimmer... I'm a... Monsters?

Daniel looked out the window at the fast-moving scene and expressed his uneasiness.

"There's nothing wrong with you. You're just... "

Sean doesn't know what Daniel is all about, but he firmly believes that his brother is a normal person.

"Sean is right, it's your talent that sets you apart."

Sunset Shimmer leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed.

"Don't think about it, time will mend all the wounds."

Daniel's eyes changed slightly as he looked out the window.

He accepted Sunset Shimmer's remarks.

"So what do I do now?"

Daniel continued.

"I was thinking... Maybe we can go to the port of Lobos.

Sean looked at Daniel's.

"That's where Dad grew up, you know..."

It's okay,"

Daniel reminisced.

"It's alright, Daniel."

Sean said solemnly.

"There's nothing we can't do, as long as we're together."

...

Daniel leaned on Sean's shoulder.

"Can you tell me a story? Just like dad used to?

Sean nodded.

"I don't tell as well as he does

...", "He used to tell me bedtime stories...",

Sean put his left hand around Daniel's neck, recalling the stories his father had told him.

...

"Once upon a time, in a wild, wild world, there were two wolf brothers, who lived with their wolf fathers in their dens... They live happily together. "

One day, a lonely phoenix moved to live near them, and the two brothers became friends with it... After that, their lives became more interesting.

"Until one day, the hunter took the wolf brother's father away."

"Dad never came back... So the two brothers became lonely, and they needed to find a new home.

"The two brothers were fortunate that when they decided to leave the forest that had accompanied them for many years to find a new home, their friends were willing to help them, so they set out together on a journey from the vast forest, and the wolf brothers were no longer alone..."
