Platinum smiled and sat down next to the bed. "So, did I have you fooled?"

"Kind of." Celestia admitted. "I thought you looked familiar... I need to brush up on my recognition skills."

"Don't worry. I fooled my squad mates. Almost got them to admit their love too..." She shrugged.

Celestia raised an eyebrow. "Isn't everypony in your squad male?" She asked. Then, she paused. "Oh."

"Yeah, Star's been like it for years..." She shook her head ruefully. "So, do I rock this dress?"

"Hm..." Celestia's eyes fogged over for a moment, still half-asleep. They refocused a moment later. "Oh, you look pretty good. Um. I suppose."

"You still a bit sleepy Cell?" She asked gently. "I can help, if for but a short while."

"Just a little tired. I'm not fully recovered yet." She yawned. "Mm. Tired."

"Here." Her horn began to glow, surrounding Celestia. She yawned and grinned. "There. As long as I'm awake, you'll be able to stay awake."

"I..." She blinked. "Thanks, um, Paladin. That's nice."

"Platinum. And it's no trouble. I am your idiot after all."

"Yes... yes, my idiot." Celestia smiled. "My precious idiot."

She blinked in surprise and giggled. "Thank you Celestia." She smiled fondly.

"So... what do you want to do while waiting for Insight to come back?" Celestia asked.

"Dunno... There's not a whole lot to do..." She glanced around.

"I wonder who his illusionist is..." Celestia ponders.

"No idea." She tapped her chin. "I can't think of anyone."

"We'll see, I guess." Celestia stares blankly at a wall. "So... what do you want to talk about?"

"Anything you want to... What were you dreaming about?"

"Nothing in particular." She sighed. "Just... nothing."

"Okay. What were you really dreaming Cell?"

"Being stabbed over and over in the shoulder." She shuddered. "I haven't had an assassination attempt tried on me for years."

"Hey, it's ok... I'm sorry for what I did."

"At least I turned out fine." She chuckled hollowly. "Though it varies slightly, depending on your definition of 'fine'."

"I can't help... really... All I can do is say I'm sorry." She whimpered. "I- I..."
