Valenbie CYA - Blue String

Nebula stood there in the middle of the room, staring at the album they held in their paws that this strange blue string has lead them to. The moth tilted their head, curious as to what was inside and why they were brought to find this book. They encountered someone who seemed pretty scary just to find the album and the necrobie shuddered at the thought of messing up and what might've happened there. He was glad that at least it turned out that they just wanted to go back home and find their family. The necrobie sighed and smiled a bit, glad that at least N.E.T. would help them get back to their home, and then looked around to see if anyone else was around. Seeing that no one was there, Nebula sat down on the floor, staring at the album for a little longer.

Then after what seemed like a while, they opened up the album, seeing various pictures in the photo sleeves. They seemed to be photos of the beastbie they had brought back to headquarters to help them find their way home. He stared for a bit and wondering about the family that beastbie was looking for, but wasn't able to ponder for long as the photos seemed to disappear and change. The moth sat upright in surprise, eye widening a bit as they watched the photos change.

They made a noise of surprise as the pages filled up with photos familiar to him. They also seemed to become decorated like a scrapbook themed in a way that he'd decorate it, with all sorts of night sky themed stickers, various stars and planets, pretty much anything space related and maybe some cute cat and dog stickers. The moth lightly flapped their wings happily seeing all the stickers and photos, this made them want to go make a scrapbook now so they'd have to stop by a store and buy stickers and albums for it. Nebula shook his head a bit and went back to focusing on the album changing to have more recognizable faces in them. It made him wonder why he was brought to find this album but it was a magic string bringing him along so who knows. Maybe this had to do with that necrobie people have been seeing around.

Nebula looked at some of the pictures and he made another noise of surprise. He sounded excited while speaking in his hushed voice, "That's Jam, Relic and Raine..! A photo that we all took together when I signed up for N.E.T...!" They pointed to another photo, "And that's when we were showing Relic around Shop Street for the first time..." There seemed to be a lot of photos of the four of them or sometimes them in groups of two or three. All of them seemed to be them all hanging out and having fun, celebrating an event like a birthday, or when one of them achieved something. Nebula wondered how these photos were taken but they didn't seem to mind it too much. They were too busy feeling happy looking through all these photos and thinking on the memories attached to them.

These are all pictures of his closest friends, those he'd consider family and has spent so much time with. Maybe this adventure was worth taking up after all, as he got to think of all the memories he's made with his friends. The moth was smiling the whole time, feeling warm inside from the album. He made a plan to share this album with his friends, Nebula wanted to share this happy feeling with them and talk about those memories. He gently closed the album, wanting to save the rest for when he looked at them with Relic, Raine, and Jam, and got up off of the floor.

Their happy warm feeling was a bit interrupted by someone suddenly speaking. The moth nearly dropped the album as they heard "Family helps us Bie our best selves....don't you think so? And they help us love ourselves even when we feel unlovable." Nebula whipped their head around to see who said that and met eyes with a hooded necrobie before them. They sighed in relief as they tiled their head, noting the necrobie's sweet smile. They smiled back and nodded, "I-I do think so... Family is so nice and spending moments with them makes me feel so much happiness..." Nebula held the album close, feeling that warm feeling return.
