"Don't reflect on feelings you don't need." Usa says. "Do you pretend you can't see all the certainties and even your own worries?"
Faun says nothing. Her dark purple eyes look from Usa to the pier around her, and to Usa again.
"That's the way the safe zone will decrease. Reality will cut you into pieces if you let it!" Usa says. "But I’ve got a recommendation for you, the ultimate escape." She smiles. "We don't need reality, only fantasy- ok?" She takes Faun's hands in hers. "So why don't we go run around in this pier of fantasies?"
It's plain, nobody's nŠµver gonna be sane living in this world all the same. That is the concept Amy embodies- a world that is cruel and harsh, where nobody is special and the streets stain with blood.
But Usa embodies a different concept- a world where there's always a happy ending- always a way out! And with her power, she can pull everyone into a world like that- and they'd be all the happier for it!
"Part of the pier?" Faun asks. "Of course! I'll help you with whatever you want!" She beams, and Usa matches her smile.
"Great! I know I chose you for a good reason!" Usa says, and Faun pauses.
"You chose me?" Faun puts her hand to her heart. "I thought I just found that boat..."
"Nope! I picked someone who looked tailor-made for this pier!" Usa winks. "You're the perfect sort of person for what I'm thinking!"
Faun's eyes widen and her heart races. She's ready.
Usa holds Faun and smiles, magic flowing from her palms.
And maybe you seemed more dizzy to me
Faun gives a soft smile as the magic begins to flow in her.
All you can be is muddled, indeed
"Hehe..." Faun smiles. The name 'Savior' appears in her head as her own name is drowned out by fuzz.
But what do I see? Every trick up your sleeve?
A soft glow begins to surround Faun as her eyes close, and Usa moves to grip her wrists.Swinging a dime in front of your eyes
And- spinning! One, two, three!
Until you will find you're frozen in time
The glow envelopes Faun as she spins-
"This is alright"
- And then Usa lets go, and the glow fades -
But even your mind is lured alive, right into shutdown
- To reveal a catgirl with wings and bubblegum pink hair, beaming positively.
"Shut up!" Amy yells. "Having only what you call remains will be your fate- We won't let you strip away parts of humanity like that! People need both of us- both reality and fantasy!"
Usa glares, and raises her arm. A flock of monsters run at them, and Amy, Cass, and Quxi get ready to fight.
Usa looks up at her with tears in her eyes. "But- but! Reality makes people sad! Fantasy makes people happy! Why... why do people have to be sad?"
"Because ignoring reality doesn't make it go away!" Amy yells. "Because if you strip away the painful parts of a person, what's left barely exists! Because hearing the same old story over and over makes it meaningless! Because a world needs more than one color or else it's just a glob of paint! Because life needs despair so we can have hope, pain so we can have relief, sadness so we can have joy!"
Usa looks up at her. "So people need to suffer to be happy?"
"... I wish people didn't suffer so greatly, either, but giving themselves completely into fantasy isn't the answer!" Amy glares.
"In fantasy, people get to fight back against their suffering!" Usa yells. "They get to be magical girls, superheroes- they get to have special powers-"
"In reality, people get to fight back, too!" Amy growls "If you live your life in fantasy, you'll never change reality for the better- you'll never make it nicer, never clean up blood from streets and never fix the problems that drove you away! To believe reality can never change, that's meant to always be cruel and brutal... isn't that a type of fantasy, too!? That the world is hopeless so you should give yourself in to fantasy- it's a falsehood!"
"In fantasy, you mean something!"
"In reality, you mean something, too! Even if it's not clearer or more obvious, to exist as a person means that you change things, for better or for bad!" Amy breathes in, breathes out. "The peaceful fantasy you represent is an anchor so that people don't break under reality- not a place to live in for eternity! If you won't understand this- how reality and fantasy have to coexist, instead of choosing one or the other, then I might as well not waste my breath!" She stomps off with a huff, her anger showing in her ears and in the snarl that leaves her teeth.
Usa says nothing, just gets up and runs off.
"... She's not going to try this again, is she?" Cass asks.
"If she is, then we'll just beat her up again!" Quxi claps her hands, yellow eyes sparkling. "... Anyways, we should go check out that rabbit hole over there- maybe there's some more Impractical Jokers CDs there!"

You are fooled by the way that this act behaves
