Ala at the Magic Kingdom Castle

Ala snapped her phone shut and stuffed it in her pocket as she looked up the stairs of hte castle "Where is that boy" she mumbled to herself having been to Al's home a few times over the past while to find it empty every time. As well as looking like noone has been there to tend it. With a sigh she started ascending the stairs of the castle, one hand on the small buldge which was her belly as she moved

Silly having found her way into the castle decided it was time to leave. This place was so lonely now. There was nobody here for her. She stared at the floor as tear drops fell she opened the door. She floated out bumping into Ala. She quickly grabbed at the other girl keeping her from falling down the stairs. "Sorry." She mumbled really not paying attention to anything at all. Her fur was matted and she looked as if she hadn't slept in a week. She had lost alot of weight and was pretty much skin and bones. She tried to blink back the tears but it wasn't working all that well. She peered at the person in front of her but her vision was clouded.

Ala blinked having not expected to be run into. her wings burst from her back to keep herself from falling. "Woah" she intoned quietly then looked to see who had run into her "Silly? you look horrible" she said a concerned tone to her voice

Silly whimpered a bit then rubbed at her eyes. She blinked at Ala then pointed. "You look great cept for the fact your putting on some weight." She was afraid to hug her friend in her current state. Ala couldn't possibly know what she was going thru. "I don't feel well. My heart hurts." She fell to the ground then started sobbing loudly. "Belle left me. I dunno why either. She must hate me. I'm a bad mommy." She put her paws over her head while continuing to sob. "She left 5 weeks ago. I'm so alone. I just want her back. I promise to be a better mommy." She cried muffledly.

Ala frowned slightly as her wings folded into her body she turned and sat on the top of hte stairs pulling her friend to her in a sideways hug "Hey now you aren't a bad mommy... I think we're in similar boats here, I haven't been able to locate Aladdin for two and a half weeks. But I dont think either of us are bad parents" she said. One arm holding Silly in a sideways hug her other hand running over her belly sincerely hoping what she was saying to her friend was true

Silly latched onto Ala. "You really don't think I'm a bad mommy? So now Aladdin is missing too? Where are they? Caneton who is Phillip's dad said Phillip came up missing the same time as Belle. I hope they are together. Maybe Aladdin is with them." She thought back. "I saw Aladdin. Two and a half weeks ago. I asked him if he had seen Belle. He said no. So I gave him a wishstone to give to Belle and told him I was going away. But some how I keep ending up back here. Maybe he went to look for her for me." She sniffled feeling even worse. "Now it my fault Aladdin leave too."

"Shhhhh, nothing is your fault, with all hopes they truely are together." Her own pink stained tears started to flow, she smiled weakly "Trust me have a mood swing and start to cry now too" she said with a sniffle.

Silly looked confused. "A mood swing? Whats wrong with you? I know your putting on some weight. You must be eating well. I haven't ate in two weeks. I just can't. I can't eat I can't sleep. I feel so sick." She looked a bit embarrassed. "I proable don't smell all that nice either. But I just don't really care any more. I have no one to look nice for any more." She sniffled still clinging to her friend as if she were the only life support she had currently.

Ala was glad that if her friend smelled not so hot that her own sense of smell was very muddled thanks to Bump. "Eatting well? no I'm eatting normal, I'm pregnant" she told her friend "But you really should be eatting, you wouldn't want Belle to come back to someone who has no energy left to do anything do you?"

Silly looked even more confused. "What's pregnant? Is it a diease that makes you fat?" She honestly questioned. "I throw up when I try to eat. I'm just so upset that I can't." Her ears drooped along her head.

Ala couldn't help but chuckle "No silly Silly, it means I have a baby inside my belly." Ala held silly close to her side making sure she got the hugs she might need, Ala's free hand wiped away her own tears as she looked at her friend who really did look like she had seen better days "Least you are trying to eat" she said softly

Silly's eyes got wide. "You... You... You ate a baby?? You must have ate a cabbage with a baby in it!!" She starred at Ala's belly. "That poor baby. Can't breath in there. Ala get it outta there!!" She looked up at her friend. "You don't want the baby to die in there." She started sniffling. "I wanna be lucky and find a cabbage with a baby. I want a baby too."

Ala stared at Silly for a few minutes confused as all heck then started to laugh "I didn't eat it. and it can breath fine, it's growing. And I dont eat cabbage, just rare red meats and other similar things. Silly you really don't know how babies come to be do you...."

Silly looked confused. "They come from cabbages. Don't they?" She scratched at her ear feeling extremely confused. "How are you growing a baby? Did you swallow a special seed? Do you haveta water it everyday?" She looked up at Ala. She diffenantly had her innocence that was for sure.

Ala had to hold back her laughter to keep from insulting her friend. She could hardly believe silly didn't truely know where babies came from. After a moment Ala shook her head and then spent the next several minutes.... well closer to probably 20 minutes explaining it properly to her.

Silly's eyes got wide. "OMG!!" Her face was bright red by the end of the talk. "I had it all wrong. Ohh dear." She felt embarrassed. "I don't think I could do that with anybody. Well umm nobody has ever taken an intrest in me like that. Guess I won't have any babies!! No male likes me I'm all alone. Will settle with adopting." She still looked extremely embarrassed. "So you did that and now your going to have a baby? Is that what Satine did then?" She thought a moment. "Ohhh I haven't seen you. I been helping with a girl named Satine. She is going to have a baby. I just thought she swallowed the baby. I'm adopting her baby after it comes." She felt extremely foolish.

Ala chuckled softly "You might find someone one day Silly." she smiled at Silly "Yes I did, took me a lot of tries to get pregnant, but I'm very happy about it. And your friend probably did do something like what I did to have a baby of her own.. she nodded

Silly shook her head. "Nobody wants me. I'm a freak." Her eyes welled up with tears. "Your one of the first people to see me as something. But I know I'm not. If I was wanted then my mother wouldn't have well wanted to kill me. She beat my head with a rock and left me there for dead. Some how I lived I just dunno how. Then everyone would throw rocks at me and chase me away. Nobody wants me." She pulled back a bit of her hair showing Ala a large scar across her head.

"You aren't a freak Silly" Ala said softly, touching the scar Silly showed her, her gem glowed very lightly as she did "I can sympathize with how you feel, I was kicked out of more homes then I would rather count, and all on the account that I was different and could do things they couldn't" she told her friend taking her hand away from the not-so-big scar

Silly felt at her head. "It's smaller now. How did you do that?" She huggled onto Ala. "Thank you." She choked back some tears. "Do you think I'm special then? Am I truely someone special? Am I worth knowing? I think your someone special. You prove that more and more every day we are together. I wish you were my family. Then maybe I wouldn't be so alone." She wiped a paw across her eyes. "Whenever I'm around you. You make all the pain from the world go away. You make me feel like I'm wanted and that I'm actually a real person and not some creature that nobody wants."

Ala smiled softly "I can heal people, it's part of why I"m almost never sick or injured, it's also part of why I kept getting kicked out of homes.... And yes Silly you are special, in your own way. And you know what? Friends, are family you chose for yourself" she said softly

Silly smiled. "Is that why that was glowing?" She pointed at Ala's forehead. "If that is true about friends then I have the best family in the world." She hugged onto Ala again. "I couldn't ask for anything more. Your the best family I could ever want. I hope we stay friends for always."

Ala reached up and touched her blue gem when Silly pointed at it and nodded "Yes, thats why it glowed" she said with a smile. Ala smiled happily "I don't see why we wont stay friends Silly, I imagine us staying friends quite nicely" she hugged Silly back kinda glad the topic had changed from their two missing kids

Silly smiled happily nodding her head. She had something new to look forward to. "It's really neat. I can only shrink and grow and fly but you already knew that." She felt very relieved now. "I'm very happy to have you as a friend. I'll never be lonely again. Specially since I know I have you to look forward to!!" She grabbed her tail then started petting it. "I should take better care of myself now. Because I'm wanted so I need to look my best." She smiled happily at Ala.

"That you should Silly, And right now you dont look so great, you've lost a fair bit of weight and you weren't all that big to start with" she said with a nod her own tail lazily looping over Silly's shoulder with her arm "You know you are always welcome in my home too. Outside the magic Kingdom world."

Silly nodded her head. "I'll come then." She continued to smile. All her worries had floated away. "Do you really think there is someone out there waiting for me? Someone who will love me as much as Torvil loves you?"

Ala nodded "Theres someone for everyone Silly and that includes you" she said using the tip of her spaded tail to poke Silly when she said it included her. "Everyone has their special someone, even if they haven't found them yet"

Silly nodded her head. "Well I better get home then. I need to take a bath and get some sleep and something in my tummy. Belle will come back so will Aladdin and Phillip. We are good people." She stood up then held a hand out to Ala offering to help her up. "I'm going to do my best to look good just in case someone special does come along for me."

Ala smiled and took hold of Silly's hand standing up a hand on her belly as she did "I'm glad you are doing better my friend, you need to feel better, too much depression would not be good for you" she nodded "I'll see you soon I'm sure"

Silly smiled hugging Ala one last time before heading towards her home. "Thank you Ala you have made me feel much much better about myself. Good bye!! See you soon!!"

Ala waved at her friend as Silly left, then looked arund trying to decide what to do next. Eventually she sighed and pulled out the little phone again and pressed the bbutton's she needed disappearing and heading homewards
