When fairy-tale meets reality...

Our new professor is a mental case

Why would he do that?

Is that a kitten? Oh it is a kitty. Why are you hiding it?

I'm not allowed to have a pet so I'm hiding it.

I can play it for you if you want. What exactly are you hiding?

Can you? Nothing.. just some stupid notes.

Its Nick. You’re hiding something and no, not talking about the song.

Oh hi! How are you? Never heard the song.

I have too. It’s nice to be in a place that has so many stores. I haven’t a problem so far but maybe they will be worse now.

I totally agree. There are choices there though they do confuse but that's the fun in shopping. The last minute shopping is always crucial when the shop start getting low on stock. One should always be ready for the fight if they want the best.

Just too much to buy. Some people will have to wait for presents.

I regularly toured the mall this whole month and am still doing it. I don't mind all the shopping trips but some shoppers get aggressive a lot. 

Do you want me to continue if it gives you the confidence?

No no.. its fine. Too much compliments might make me awkward. I can't handle them well.

I really enjoy all these sales. Shopping at this time of the year is always the best.

Right? Its only a day till Christmas and I can't seem to finish shopping yet. 

But you are and I’m not being nice. Its the truth. I’d love to. What are you aiming at?

You always make me like you more with your words. Something bold that speaks of confidence but doesn't give the wrong impression. Will you go shopping with me for the costume?

You were good at what you did. I don’t have the time to attend. Are you performing?

Thanks, I practiced those tricks for a whole month before deciding to show it. You have another plans for the day? Yes actually, I'm performing a solo. This will be my first time so I'm quite nervous.

Even with the hair… you look perfect. No one will notice the difference.

You're very nice to say so. Thanks. I feel more confident now.

You’re still a child just a bit well grown for your age.

I will be eighteen in few months, that won't make me a child anymore.

Y-ea. I’d love to be of help.

Thanks. For a while there I thought I'd have to be on the show with this hair. They'd probably think of me as some wicked witch.

So its doing its work, isn’t it? God, I love this tune. I can keep listening to it the whole Christmas and maybe after that only to remember the fun times.

It is doing the work so very well. That is the same way I feel. The tune makes me feel as I am a child still.

I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as you felt. You could be in rags and he’d still see you as a princess. As I said earlier, won’t be a problem.

You're only being nice. I feel anything but princess-like. Would you help me chose my dress for the eve-show?

He’s the man and you’re the little girl who was in all the tricks.

Yes, I did them. All of them. So, will you be there for the Christmas celebration?
