The Plains In Super

"The Keys!" Fily shouted upon waking up from shock.

"Gosh! What a cliffhanger!" she muttered and then attempted to step out of her bed, but upon doing so, she realized that her legs were refusing to move which made Fily remember what had just happened to her before she decided to sleep.

"It hasn't even been a day yet and I've read so many passages already. But then, I can't open another chapter. Right when the exciting stuff was just starting!" Fily complained while trying to make her legs move. 

Little did Fily realize that she actually needs to reconnect her nervous system for her legs to move since she cut them off as a precaution for something like this happening before she completely fell asleep.

"Oh my gosh, why did I do that?" Fily thought to herself and laid back down on her bed, trying to sleep again and go back to her mind palace, but unlike the instances where she could just go back there whenever she wanted to, the stuff that Fily read was bothering her mind so much that she could not even go to her mind palace at command.

"Should I just contact the rest of them? But they're probably going to be surprised since I was supposed to be sleeping up until the next 3 days…"

"But hadn't Gem already unlocked the storage where the rest of the Energy slimes were at with the keys..?" Fily said and closed her eyes.

"But Gem's Salamandite is broken," Fily said and let out a deep sigh.

"I should just go back to sleep-"

"Okay, just put it there." Fily heard Venedette's voice right outside her door.

"Okay, thank you," Venedette said to the maids while opening the door to Fily's room, and was even surprised when she saw Fily wide awake instead of sleeping.

"Oh, you're awake?" she asked while opening the door widely, the maids then brought a couch inside which made Fily's expression even more confused.

"What's that?" Fily asked, pointing at the couch and other appliances that Venedette was putting inside her room.

"Halma sent them here for you," Venedette said and shrugged, having the same question in mind upon receiving these items from Halma.

'A couch? Why would Halma send me a couch?' Fily thought to herself and used her inspector vision to try and figure out the answer to her question.

Fily sat up straight and narrowed her eyes to maximize her focus towards the couch.

The couch was in the same color as Petunia's cloud, which Halma would probably be aware already that Fily does not like the color so much.

So why send her a couch with the same color as Petunia's gummy cloud that doesn't suit Fily's color preference very much?

The answer was found under the sheets where Fily finally saw the chips that she and her fellow Maharlikans use to recharge.

"A charging bed?" Fily thought to herself and glanced at her bed which also had a wireless charger beneath the sheets.

"Does Halma want me to sleep on that couch instead?" Fily asked and closed her eyes to finally connect her limbs back to her brain while Venedette was distracting her from the stuff that she was just overthinking earlier.

"Halma said this would help you gain more energy, whatever that means," Venedette said with a pouty smile as if she did not get the meaning behind Halma's words.

And of course, how could she get that when she was still very unaware of Fily's true origins?

"Hmm, cool," Fily said and went back to her bubby self, starting with her signature eye smile which made Venedette feel like she really liked the new couch very much.

"I should take the other couch outside," Venedette said and excused herself with the maids to take the couch outside, but before leaving, Venedette peeked back inside Fily's room and told her, "You should go back to sleep, sorry for bothering you," with a smile without even waiting for Fily's response.

"It's-" Fily tried responding but Venedette had already rushed outside with the old couch in her room, "okay…"

"Let's see how this works," Fily just said, shrugging the little misunderstanding off and going closer to the couch that looked very much comfortable with the light purple color.

And she was not mistaken, the couch was really comfortable, and within just a few minutes of sitting on it, Fily already felt recharged as if the chips under the sheets were ten times faster than her normal chargers.

"Whoa, what is this?" Fily said and smirked while reaping the benefits of the new chair that even has a built-in massager with it.

"Wow, I love this!" Fily said and noticed the color, "except for the color. I should style it better in the future then," Fily said and continued enjoying the sofa like a cat swirling around her bed.

When Fily finally found a comfortable position with a very good charging rate, Fily thought of opening her stat-hut and searching for her friends who were weirdly together even if it was almost night.

"Huh? What are they doing here?" Fily said after seeing their dots together in just one place.

"Hmm, are they perhaps..?" Fily said and just decided to contact one of them instead.

[Fily: Gem, what are you guys doing there?"]

She sent and let herself charge while waiting for a reply. But when Fily realized that the reply was already taking a lot of time, Fily looked at her stat-hut again and remembered that both of Gem's systems were actually down.

"Oh, I forgot…" Fily said and went into a deep realization after saying words she doesn't just normally say at any given time.

"I forgot? How can I forget something so important like that?" she muttered and looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

"Are Kuya Koi's words really coming true?" one of Fily's voices said in her head which made Fily's heart beat faster.

"No way… Am I actually becoming more human than just a program?" Fily thought before suddenly being pulled inside her mind palace by one of her sisters.

"Get your thoughts straight, Fily! You can't fall for these humans' tricks!" One of her other personalities grabbed her hands and said.

"She's right! We have survived blending in amongst them for such a long time but we can't fall for their deceptions anymore, you remember what they did to us a long time ago, right?!" Fily's other life that she had spent during the old times spoke to her.

"Wait, what are you guys talking about?" the current Fily said and took a step back, looking at her sisters as if they had lost their minds by just one slippage of her words.

"You may be new here but you know we're here to guide you, right?" one from the depths of Fily's mind said before standing against the light.

"If you don't want us to take over, you need to be strong and fight these deceptions head-on."

"But elder!" Other girls complained but were quickly shushed by the elder whose eyes were serious and looking at Fily as if she can see each and every part of their soul clearly.

"We all have experienced this at least once in our lives, it is now time for her to be shaken, but remember, Fily, you need to keep your feet on the ground or else you'll fall."

"Ah, there she goes again," another girl said and rolled her eyes at the elder and just walked away which the elder just ignored.

"Wait! I am not slipping, okay?! I'm still aware of my purpose and who I really am! I am you! And you are me! Just from a different timeline!"

"Correct, we are you and we have also gone through this experience."

"So why don't you trust me?" Fily said with a soft voice to her sisters who just looked away from her with guilt.

"You'll know soon enough," the elder said and tapped Fily's shoulders before returning back to the shadows.

"Why can't you just tell me now like how you've been telling me everything you know for the past fifteen years of my lifetime?" Fily asked and looked at each of her sisters one by one who was either just focusing on what they were doing or obviously just ignoring her… except for her most rebellious sister who had just finished sipping her tea and was glancing at her secretly.

"Sister?" Fily said with her most mellow voice that made her angsty sister roll her eyes at her.

"We just want to see how you'll react in this situation. Or what kind of choices you'd make on your own. We're not going to babysit you forever, you know?" she said and quickly left the room where their other sisters were looking at her like she had just spoiled a secret that they were purposely keeping from Fily.

"Do you not trust me? Even just a little bit?!" Fily cried and removed herself from the living room which was the only place where her other sisters could coexist with her.

"They're so mean," Fily said and opened her eyes, now back to the real world where she just remembered something very important for her to do.
