A/N: Happy New Year everybody. I am so tired lately. I still have not a lot of H/W I heard until the middle of February so expect more consistent fanfiction every week. This happens a day before Stella has to go into battlefield and in her POV. Warning: One of the biggest secret between Green Shadow and Solar Flare is about to be revealed this chapter.

I feel great!

I feel worried!

I feel scared!

I feel…everything!

But mostly, I felt scared.

It is a day before I start to be on the battlefield. My dream did come true, but not in the way I hoped it would. Instead being free and fighting for the plants, I have to fight for the plants with little to no freedom whatsoever. I am stuck in a prison where perverting is something that is absolutely normal. I swear at this rate I would…well…you get what I mean for those reading this. (And yes, I did break the 4th wall)

I shivered at the thought. I looked around the rocky cell to see a Fire Peashooter sitting on a little couch watching TV. It was my roommate, Fury. He only smiled at me when I looked at what he was doing, before returning to the TV.

I suddenly felt the urge to say something about this situation. But I can't just say it to Fury, could I? Looking at his way, I decided to talk to him about the situation.

"Fury," I squeaked, "I need to talk to you about something…"

I sat next to him and he looked at me before nodding.

"You're scared that tomorrow we will be sent to the battlefield, right?"

Well he read my mind…

"Yeah…I guess. I'm scared because I always get bullied here so I don't know if I'm ready to battle against zombies. I barely know anything about fighting and they didn't even train us to do anything, not to mention battle. I might not have enough skills to get through the next 40 years on the battlefield"

Fury shook his head and pat my back.

"I'll help you whenever I can. Remember that we're on the same squad with some other people here. They will try to fit us with someone who's not going to bully you as much. It will help us get through the battle more easily compared with only you going in solo"

"I…Thank you" I started to feel relieved. His words will always stop anyone from dragging me down, including myself.

"I just want you to know" I hugged him, "that thank you for being such a great friend. Especially helping me through the days I am in this stupid loop hole of bad luck and you'd still be there for me. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you as a friend and that you are the only motivation I needed to get through the next few days. I just want you to know that you are the shining little star in my heart."

He giggled at me before blushing his words out. "Aw…Thank you. I never heard that sentence from anyone before. I just want you to know that it is going to be hard to get through the first day but you'll get used to it. It's part of our lives later on."

I held him in an embrace as I felt warm next to him. He is the only person who saved me through the torturous 8 months…excuse me…8 years in DIPB and I really thank him for being by my side.

But then I broke my embrace to a voice by the guards.

"Stella Connors, are you there?" I looked through the hole of the door to see an Agent Pea looking at me.

"Yeah. Stella is here."

"There's someone who wants to meet you outside."

I nodded at her and I was released to a room. Metal is the only thing I could see in this room, probably because the whole room is made of it. I'm eager to see who's visiting me today.

A door from a corner of the room opened. A Fire Flower with red goggles looked at me, smiling in, I think, shock and disbelief. I gasped with almost the same reaction. I ran right onto her and hugged her tight. She accepted my embrace and I stood there for so long. I started to burst into tears as I finally met Summer after 8 years. As soon as I released her, she kissed me in the nose, which made both of us blush. I could feel her leaves wiping the tears away from me.

"I have something to tell you" Summer smiled. I wondered what important news that was so important that I can't just receive it through letters?

And then the next few words made me shocked to the core…

A/N What was she shocked for? Find out next time ;)

Nah I'm just playing with you. Let's get back to the stories.

"Me, you, and Olivia…we officially became sisters!"

"Wait your joking, right?"

"I'm not joking. My mother got married with your dad. So that made us sisters…or at least part-sisters"

Ok…I have become sister with Summer and Olivia!? I am still too shocked. I mean this is reality right?

"What about the case that lead me to prison? Have you cleared my name yet?"

"We were really close right now. We had the proof, the eyewitness, etc. But the only thing is that we need to find that zombie who put the gasoline in the first place to change you to a third-degree murder and your charges could be lowered. I'll try my hardest to get you out of here."

"Thanks, sis. I need you to know that I'm fine here. Some peashooter by the name of Fury has helped me a lot for the past 8 years. I'll be fine, Summer. I just…I don't know how it would feel to be in the battlefield"

Summer gave me a little hug before answering.

"Remember that time when you kicked 10 plants' butt for trying to kidnap me and the faction leaders? The zombies are pretty much the same, only this time they have guns as well. You are brave, Stella so you can bring this thing all around somehow. Plus, zombies aren't as awesome as you think. They could sometimes be very dumb, too so at least you know what to do when you deal with them."

"It doesn't mean I can be less worried. I mean this is not something I can joke about. I might die out there. I know I had a dream to be in the battlefield out there but I'm pretty much fighting for nothing. I had a thought that fighting in the battlefield means freedom to all plants but not in this case. I'm fighting just so that I could get out of prison. And even by that time I might not know what to do after that. I'd be 50 when I'm out. It also haunts me that my mother also passed away for the same reason"

"It's not going to be easy, I can tell you that" Summer looked at me. "I know your mother sacrificed her life that point in time but it doesn't mean you have to. You could stay a bit further back and not get shot as much as others"

"Thank you for your help, Summer-chan" I chuckled. Can't believe I'd say that for once. (Yes It means big sister. So now you know who's older)

"Your welcome, Stella. Me and Paul will try our hardest to get your freedom"

And with that, she stood up and left the room. A guard guided me back to my own prison cell.

Then I could see Fury hiding his face behind his pods. I looked at his expression, knowing that he is sad.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I think I'm also as stressed as you are, Stella." Fury shook his head.

"I just got quite a shocking news. Remember the girl that was in the disk that sing that song I always hum?"

"Yeah, I could recall that's your best friend, Summer."

I took a deep breath. "I became her younger sister" I squeaked.

"You what?" He looked shocked. "How?"

"Well my father got married with Summer's mother. That made us sisters because of it."

"That's so cool. She's going to be quite a great sister!" But then he realized I'm still in prison and not at home.

"I'm sorry. This is such a great news I forgot reality you're staying here for 40 years. I'm so sorry."

"Nah, I'm great" I lied. The realization shook me even harder than before. I felt scared and even more desperate, trying to hide it with a little smile.

"I just want you to know is that don't be desperate, alright?" I looked at his eyes, calm yet fearful. I nodded before going to bed and hide myself in a blanket, hoping I'd forget everything.

Today was quite an…eventful day. It's like a day before I'm going to a battlefield and I have to go through so much to calm myself down. I never thought what the battlefield of chaos would look like. I imagined loads of dead zombies and plants alike. I imagined blood everywhere you go. I imagined soldiers trying to kill everything that's not their ally.

And I am going to become one of them. Dead or alive.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone's worried. I would die at any time in the battle. I PROMISED SUMMER TO STAY ALIVE!

Yet then, I found out she became my sister! I was so happy to realize this but sad as well to not be there to celebrate with the rest of the family. And it worries me a lot.

Whatever happens next, one thing is for sure.

I will be ready for the battlefield.

A/N: I've made a review box to answer your unanswered…answers. This also goes out to AgentCatherine because I got the idea from her.

_Sir Espeon: Yeah too obvious. I always wanted to put references because this makes sure I know that people are reading my story and not just scrolling through everything and saying "Oh I've read your story the whole way. It's so bad I want to puke" without even reading a single sentence...I'd rather have a hate comment but they read through everything before doing so.

_Sparky: Honestly all of my stories are confusing XD but thanks a lot dude.

_Zhengofett: Well I don't know about you but in my world of PVZ: Heroes, if you are charged to first-degree murder, no matter how many people you save, it's either life sentence or death sentence. So what Stella had as a 40 year-sentence is actually very light compared to my world's rules. But don't worry, she'll be fine. Also, yes she did fell for it. If you didn't pay attention to 6th grade Science class, static electricity creates a fire with the right fuel by igniting it, in this case gasoline by the zombie who was supposed to burn the house down. Stella felt cold and as she rubbed her pod on her hoodie it creates static electricity, which then ignites the fire by accident. Plus, the reason why there's no jury is that I kind of based the court within the Phoenix Wright universe where there's only 1 Judge doing the job and he hears all the convictions until he heard enough to give out a sentence.

_Guest: What I explained with Zhengofett. I will forgive your potty mouth ;)

_Lilypad2002: I'm not good at Vietnamese history (or any history for that matter) so I'm not sure what you mean by Uncle Ho's jail diary. Although it might sound like something I would read. But the purpose was a bit like a diary but just so that we know how Stella feels to be in prison.

_Pikagirl2001: Oh you mean "Brighter side of things: PvZ Heroes X Reader?" I really love that story, funny enough because I don't like 2nd person stories. Well Havenchild ships the heroes with the reader with some funny incidents like playing at the arcade with Solar Flare and a zombie attack with Green Shadow. However, I ship Green Shadow and Solar Flare and the reader emerge themselves as one of the characters, in this case Green Shadow. I just want to make a story that talks about how Green Shadow and Solar Flare met each other and forgive each other's past. You could try reading the "Green Flare's diary 1: No school rule, no problem" story I just released a few days ago for a flashback if you want to understand one of the times that Stella and Summer's friendship increased a lot and how Stella was treated in school for Summer to step into Stella's life. BTW love the name, makes me remember of that nightcore song named Pikagirl, although it's just a guest name.
