'''Sophie shuffled around the house, trying to distract herself. Normally she would just leap, teleport, or transmit to Keefe, but Grady had told her that when he manifested, he needed some alone time too. Meanwhile, Sophie had to meet with Team Valliant to discuss what she and Oralie had learned through the caches. '''

'''Sophie stepped out into the pastures and was greeted by a warm hug from Wynn and Luna. Hi guys. She transmitted, Calm… '''

'''Play play play play! They bounced around.'''

'''Sorry guys, not right now. She could see their disappointment as they ran away. She had more important things to worry about. She had been ignoring the cache for Keefe but she couldn’t procrastinate any longer. '''

'''Dex tapped her on the shoulder, drawing her out of her trance. They gave each other a huge hug. It was so nice how things had changed between them. Just a couple years ago they had kissed, and well… it was as awkward as you would imagine.'''

'''They were both glad that they could get make to being friends, best friends. '''

'''Dex pulled away and stared into her eyes. “How are you?”'''

“I’m… fine.” She shrugged.

'''“No…” Dex chuckled. “How are you?”'''

'''Sophie laughed at how well he knew her. “I’m holding up.”'''

“Impossible!” Sophie and Dex started laughing until Stina showed up.

“Oh, I’m glad to see you guys are fooling around while the Neverseen are working on taking down the entire Elvin world.” Stina rolled her eyes but Sophie could tell that she was becoming nicer to the rest of the team.

“I’m sure they’re working harder than you.” Biana appeared, having vanished, behind Sophie, wrapping her in a hug.

'''It was all casual until Sophie remembered what happened with Fitz. This was the first time she was seeing Biana since all of that. Sophie tensed up and Biana seemed to notice.'''

'''“Sophie, it’s fine. We’re good!” Biana smiled but Sophie couldn’t believe that, just like that, they were fine.'''

“I feel like I’m missing something…” Wylie rubbed Wynn’s ears, laughing at the hyper Alicorn.

'''“We’re… fine.” Sophie caught Dex’s confused glance and quickly transmitted I tell you later. '''

'''After a quick nod, Sophie decided to fill them in on the recent events. She talked about their discovery about Keefe’s ability and how she hadn’t contacted him since. After a gulp, she started explaining the cache. '''

'''“So…” Sophie started. “The cache did have to do with Stellarlunes.” '''

“Okay… so what did you find?” Stina impatiently tapped her foot.

'''Sophie took a deep breath. “Stellarlunes are a combination of shadowflux and quintessence. When combined with etherine… it can destroy a Prime Source.” '''

'''Everyone was stunned. They all seemed speechless but Dex came to his senses first. “Why would they use it on Keefe then.”'''

'''“I don’t know.” Sophie’s eyes teared up as she realized she hadn’t even checked in on Keefe to make sure that that wasn’t affecting him. '''

'''“Do the Councillors know? Or better yet, does Keefe know?” Stina asked.'''

'''“Oralie’s telling the Councillors today but… I haven’t told Keefe yet. '''

'''No one really knew what to say yet so they just stood there in silence. '''

'''“What about Glimmer? Does she know anything about this?” Biana suggested.'''

'''Sophie frowned. “That would be a good idea but…”'''

“But…” Wylie prompted.

'''“I just don’t trust her very much.” Sophie was nervous but when she saw the others nod, she relaxed. “I mean, what if she only helped us so she could spy for the Neverseen?”'''

'''Biana coughed. “Sounds exactly like what Keefe did.” '''

“So what do we do?” Stina asked the question they were all thinking.

'''“I think… we wait for the Councillors.” After the groups protests, Sophie continued. “They can look into it more!”'''

'''“Fine.” Dex seemed disappointed but smirked and added. “Lady Fos-boss.”'''

'''Sophie sighed and said goodbyes but Dex lingered behind. “What’s up?” Dex raised an eyebrow.'''

“Oh…” Sophie explained everything with Fitz and hoped Dex could look past his issues with the Vacker family wouldn’t interfere with his opinion.

“So you know who your biological mom is?” Sophie almost slapped herself for forgetting to tell the group to stop the interviews.

“Yeah but I-” Sophie confirmed.

“I know, you can’t tell me.” Dex scratched his head, and wrapped Sophie up in a hug.

“Thank you.” A tear slid from Sophie’s cheek as she leaned into Dex’s shoulder.

“So… do you still like him or do you like…” Dex trailed off, unsure if Sophie was ready to talk.

“I don’t know… at this point, I just want to focus on-” A scream interrupted her comment and it took her a minute to realize it was a transmission and not out loud.

'''Fitz’s panicked voice filled her head. Sophie. A long silence. HELP. '''
