(In a large cavern-like room, all the aeons are asleep. Just then, one of the aeons - Valefor - wakes up.)

Valefor: (spreading her wings) “Good morning, Spira!!” (she looks around her) “…seriously? Nobody else is waking up?” (she looks at Anima) “…even Anima? But she rarely even sleeps!”

(Valefor gets up and lets out an ear-splitting shriek, but nobody else wakes up - not even Anima.)

Valefor: “…this is getting strange.” (she looks towards the Magnus Sisters) “Sandy? Cindy? Mindy? You three alright?”

(The Magnus Sisters are fast asleep.)

Valefor: (flapping her wings and hovering over to the sleeping Magnus Sisters) “Wake up, you three! It’s time to rise and shine!”

(The Magnus Sisters remain motionless, undisturbed by Valefor’s attempts to wake them.)

Valefor: (furrowing her brow) “This can’t be right. Something must be affecting their slumber. Maybe a shriek will wake them up!”

(Valefor takes a deep breath and lets out an even louder shriek, shaking the entire cavern. However, the only Magnus Sister that shows a sign of waking up is Mindy - the youngest and most easily-frightened. But just moments after waking up, Mindy starts to feel sick.)

Mindy: (clutching her stomach) “Ugh… what’s happening? Why do I feel so nauseous?”

Valefor: (concerned) “Mindy, are you alright?”

Mindy: (weakly) “I… I don’t know. I feel really sick all of a sudden.”

Valefor: (hovering closer to Mindy) “Let me take a look.” (examining Mindy) “Hmm, your energy seems alright. Nothing out of the ordinary…”

Mindy: (still clutching her stomach) “But something feels off. It’s like there’s a heavy weight in my chest, and my head is spinning.”

Valefor: (worried) “I don’t sense any physical ailments, Mindy. Perhaps it’s something else.”

(All of a sudden, Mindy flies over to one of the other chambers in the cavern - that chamber being a bathroom-like chamber.)

Mindy: (rushing into the bathroom chamber) “I think I’m going to be sick!”

Valefor: (following Mindy) “Oh no, Mindy!”

(Mindy vomits violently, relieving some of the pressure she had been feeling. Valefor stays by her side, comforting her.)

Valefor: “Just let it out, Mindy. Take deep breaths.”

(Mindy continues to vomit for a few moments before finally stopping. She sits back, exhausted and shaken.)

Mindy: (weakly) “I’ve never felt like this before, Valefor. What could be causing it?”

Valefor: (pensive) “It’s hard to say. You should probably rest and see if you feel any better tomorrow.”

Mindy: (nodding weakly) “You’re right, Valefor. I’ll try to get some rest and hopefully I’ll feel better in the morning.”

(Valefor helps Mindy back to her sleeping spot and tucks her in with her wings.)

Valefor: “Just close your eyes and let your body relax, Mindy. I’ll stay by your side until you fall asleep.”

Mindy: (closing her eyes) “Thank you, Valefor.”

(Valefor stays by Mindy’s side, watching over her as she drifts off to sleep. As Mindy falls into a deep slumber, Valefor looks around the room, now filled with worry.)

Valefor: (whispering to herself) “What is happening to her? Something must be seriously wrong.”

(She floats up into the air, investigating the other aeons in the cavern. Each one remains undisturbed in their deep sleep. Eventually, Valefor herself falls asleep.)

(The next morning, however, the Magnus Sisters are the first to wake up.)

Sandy: (stretching) “Good morning, sisters. Did you sleep well?”

Cindy: (rubbing her eyes) “Yeah, I slept fantastic.”

Mindy: (weakly) “I didn’t sleep well at all. I woke up feeling sick last night.”

Sandy: (concerned) “Oh no, Mindy. What happened?”

Mindy: (recalling her illness) “I felt nauseous and dizzy. I couldn’t stop vomiting.”

Cindy: “That’s terrible. Do you still feel unwell?”

Mindy: (shaking her head) “No, I’m feeling much better now. I think it was just temporary. Now that you mention it, I have to use the bathroom.”

Sandy: “Alright, take your time, Mindy. We’ll wait for you here.”

(Mindy rushes into the bathroom chamber while Sandy and Cindy exchange worried glances.)

Cindy: “I’m really concerned about Mindy. This isn’t like her at all.”

Sandy: “I know, something strange is definitely going on with her. We need to find out what it is.”

(Just then, Valefor wakes up and floats over to Sandy and Cindy.)

Valefor: “Good morning, everyone. How are you feeling?”

Sandy: “We’re all a bit worried about Mindy. She woke up last night feeling sick and had to vomit.”

Cindy: “Do you have any idea what could be causing this, Valefor?”

Valefor: “I’m not sure, but I think there’s something affecting her.”

Mindy: (returning from the bathroom, sounding slightly sad) “I’m back…”

Sandy: “Mindy, are you feeling any better now?”

Mindy: “Yeah, I feel fine now. But…can we talk in a different chamber? I’m not comfortable discussing this to the other aeons.”

Valefor: (concerned) “Of course, Mindy. Let’s go to a more private chamber.”

(Sandy, Cindy, Mindy, and Valefor move to a nearby chamber, away from the other aeons.)

Mindy: “I don’t know how to tell you all this, but…I think I might be pregnant.”

(Sandy and Cindy exchange surprised glances, their eyes widening.)

Cindy: “Pregnant? Mindy, how is that even possible?”

Mindy: (nervously) “I… I don’t know. I haven’t been with anyone, and we can’t reproduce in the same way humans do. But I’ve been feeling these strange symptoms, and I don’t know how else to explain it.”

Valefor: (thoughtfully) “There have been instances in the past where aeons have inexplicably become pregnant without a known cause. Though rare, it is not unheard of. Mindy, we will support you through this. We must find a way to confirm if you are truly pregnant.”

Sandy: (placing a comforting hand on Mindy’s shoulder) “We will figure this out together, Mindy. Finding a way to confirm your pregnancy is the first step.”

Cindy: “I recall there being a chamber that stores ancient texts about aeon physiology. We could search there for any information on this matter.”

Mindy: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, Sandy and Cindy. It means a lot to me to have your support.”

Valefor: “Let’s not waste any more time. We need to find answers for Mindy’s well-being. Lead the way, Cindy.”

(With renewed determination, the Magnus Sisters, Mindy, and Valefor set off to find the chamber that may hold the answers they seek. They navigate through the winding tunnels of the cavern, careful not to disturb the slumbering aeons they pass along the way.)

(Eventually, Cindy locates the chamber they were looking for. Dust-covered shelves filled with ancient scrolls line the walls. The sisters start searching through the ancient texts, hoping to find any mention of unexpected pregnancies among aeons.)

(Hours pass, with each passing scroll revealing little information. Just as their hope begins to waver, Sandy stumbles upon a weathered parchment tucked away in a forgotten corner.)

Sandy: “I think I found something!”

(She carefully unravels the parchment, revealing a faded illustration depicting an aeon with a swollen belly.)

Mindy: (wide-eyed) “That looks like…”

Valefor: “An aeon pregnancy.”

Cindy: “This confirms it, Mindy. You are indeed pregnant.”

(Mindy’s eyes well up with tears, a mix of shock and relief flooding over her.)

Mindy: (whispering) “I… I’m going to be a mother.”

(Valefor, Sandy, and Cindy share a supportive smile with Mindy.)

Valefor: “Yes, Mindy, you are going to be a mother. And we will all be here to support you.”

Sandy: “Absolutely. We may not fully understand how this happened, but what matters now is that we’re here for you.”

Cindy: “We’ll find a way to navigate through this together, Mindy. You won’t be alone.”

Mindy: (sniffles) “Thank you all so much. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

Valefor: “Now that we have confirmed the pregnancy, we need to make sure you receive the care and support you need. Let’s go back and inform the other aeons.”

(The four of them carefully make their way back to the cavern, finding that Bahamut has woken up.)
