Chapter Text
It was a sunny day, and Zane and Pixal were strolling around the park. Little did Pixal know, this was going to be their last date…
“Look at the sky, Zane” Pixal said, pointing up toward the clear blue sky, with small wisps of clouds calmly floating by.
“Woah Pixal, It’s almost as beautiful as your sister, Lacip” Zane smiled as he said that, still gazing up at the sky.
“What- what do you mean? My… sister? I thought I had kept her hidden well enough. I thought you’d never find out about her existence!” Pixal started crying, sobs shaking her petit frame.
Zane sighed, taking a deap breath in, then slowly relaxing as he let out the breath.
“I have something to tell you. Pixal, you have half my heart. Give it back. I need to give it to your sister, Laxip”
Pixal cried out in disbelief. She couldn’t believe her metal robot ears.
“Zane.. what do you mean? This has to be a mistake. We need to bring you back to the monastery, where Nya, Jay and I can look at your circuits. We can identify the problem. Together.”
Zane shook his head. “No. Pixal, you don’t understand. I am alright, everything is working perfectly. I love Laxip, and request you give half of my heart back.”
Pixal numbly looked up at Zane, as he was a little bit taller than her. At one point, they had stopped walking, and were just standing in the middle of the park walking trail. Instead of saying anything, Pixal nodded numbly. “As you wish.”
Pixal slowly opened up her chest compartment, revealing her half of Zane’s heart. She wrapped her fingers around the warm power source, and took it out.
But they had forgotten about one thing. Without a power source, Pixal would power down. As the heart left her ninidroid body, she felt her power quickly draining. Falling to the ground, she let out one last sentence
“Goodbye… Zane… we were never really compatible I guess”
And with a final phrase, Pixal’s eyes faded to black.
Zane looked down at Pixal’s lifeless body, and shrugged. “One less problem for me to deal with”
And with that, Zane happily skipped off into the distance, off to find Laxip, to give her the other half of his heart.
————————
Pixal felt life, life! How she had longed to have life, in the 256 seconds she had been out. But how could she be powered up again? Zane had left… so who could it be??
“Hello, Pixal. I watched Zane break up with you. I thought that it was very sad, and I do offer my condolences. My name is Enaz, and I am Zane’s hidden brother.”
Pixal blinked, looking up at Enaz.
“How am I powered up again? And why am I still on the ground?”
Enaz seemed to register that Pixal was on the ground. He offered her his hand, which she gladly took. Enaz pulled Pixal up and smiled.
“You are powered up because I gave you half my heart. After Zane took my girlfriend, Laxip, I thought you’d maybe be second best! Looked like I was right.” Enaz said, winking at Pixal.
Pixal seemed in awe of his charm, and completely missed the part where she was second best.
“Wait… you were my sister’s mystery boyfriend? Wow did she ever have good taste…”
Enaz winked again, as he picked a flower off the ground and held it out to Pixal. He then proceeded to askwith a flourish
“Pixal, would you be my girlfriend?”
Pixal jumped up into his arms, crushing the flower as she did so.
“Yes, yes yes!!”
Enaz twirled her around in his arms, happy to have the girl of his dreams in his arms at last.
