Before we lost it all: Where is Aster?

Once upon a time, a little spookitty by the name of Hexi was very lost.

"Aster? Aster?" Despite having a trainer and 3 other friends I haven't introduced or made yet, she called out for Aster. "Aster, where are you?"

She bumped into a similar creature to Aster, one with a single horn and the colors of a penguin, and screamed, cursing the poor guy with seven years of bad luck.

"Do you know where Aster is?" Hexi asked after having calmed down enough, tears in her eyes and shaking.

 "No, sadly. I don't even know an Aster."

"He's chocolate-colored and he has a marking on his butt that goes down to his legs but stops before it reaches his knees..." Hexi whimpered. "And also he's a neutronidae just like you are..."

"Still haven't seen him."

"Ok..." She whimpered.

"It's alright, kiddo, you'll find him eventually." The neutronidae moved to pet Hexi, but slipped and tumbled, this being only the first incident in his seven newfound years of bad luck.

Hexi screamed, adding seven more to that total. Good thing that there was at least a potion that counteracts that curse, at least.

"...One more thing..." Hexi added. "Are you a unicorn?"

"No." He groaned.

Hexi hopped over in that 'scared cat' way to- is that a pipe bomb?

"Hello!" Hexi said to what she thought was a- I am not googling pipe bomb. Sorry, but I don't know what pipe bombs look like off the top of my head.

The pipe bomb was set up to explode when lemon juice was spilled on it, as part of a complicated plot to kill a specific guy, but the narration was so lemony that the pipe bomb exploded from that alone, fainting Hexi immediately.

Hexi woke up to Aster dragging her back to the house by her scruff.

"Aster!" Hexi yelled. "I was looking all over for you! I was really really scared..."

Aster let go of her scruff. "I was looking all over for you!" He said.

"I'm glad we found each other! I hope we never lose each other again!"

"I wish he found me like last time." Hexi the wiccat said, to nobody in particular. "If only..."

She curled up on her bed and looked up at the sky, because unlike Chip she had an actual house here.

"Aster..." 

Knock, knock!

"Hey, Hexi!" Yelled Chip, unaware of what Hexi had been doing for the last ?? minutes. "Wanna hang out?"

"Sure, just hold on for a few minutes..."
