Fizzy must have dozed off because she was startled to hear North Star calling for her.

Too many memories were going through her mind all at once - finding Wind Whistler; Thistles dead; protecting htem; Baby Whistles crying; the pain of the blast along her neck - but the main thing she could feel was the fear. over and over the waves of fear rushed through her body.

Fizzy begun to tremble. summoning some of her wits together she winked to her room in Dream Castle. She was lucky, she didn't have to share a room in the castle.

Fizzy knew that it was wrong to disobey North Star, but she couldn't bare to look into the eyes of the mauve pegasus.

Unbeknownst to everyone, flashbacks were also tormenting another pony.

Wind Whistler was reliving the terror of falling out of the sky after being struck by the bolt of power. The fear, not for herself but for her unborn foal, and for her mate magnified as the memories continued to come.

Fizzy stood trembling at her window watching the storm rage outside. tears ran down her cheeks as she cried, silently doing nothing to stop them.

A soft tapping at her door didn't even bring her out of her misery.

Ribbon slowly entered the room. Galaxy had telepathically told her to look for Fizzy, who she had now found.

"Fizzy, what's wrong?" Ribbon asked gently as she walked over to stand beside the aqua unicorn. Fizzy's twinkle eyes remained focused out into the storm.

"Fizzy, talk to me". Ribbon urged. To her is seemed that Fizzy didn't even know that she was there.

Ribbon hurridly pulled her bushwoolie hair rug off her own back and threw it over Fizzy's back. That action brought Fizzy out of her trance-like state. Fizzy looked blankly at Ribbon before collapsing onto the floor.
