:-)

                giggle matching the child’s, she swings her up higher into the air.                 blank eyes seem to shine with happiness, and she twirls around                 on her heel with the other in her grasp before lowering her back to                 the floor.

          "eheh!" she wastes no time in zooming off once           lowered back down to the floor, spinning away            playfully until she crashes into a wall. her bumped           nose stings, and sugar seems dazed for a brief           moment-- but she shakes it off bravely, rubbing            her nose until it reddens. "ouch."           it isn't long before sugar waddles back towards            the other with questioning chirps. "where? where?"            she whines, tiny hands outstretched in attempts            to find her bigger self. 

                sugar is well aware of other iterations of her, other files,                 so she’s not at all shocked when the spitting image of                 her tumbles into view. tapping a long nail against her                 black-painted lips, she scampers over to the child and                 picks her up, holding her high in the air.

          she outright squeaks at the compliment,            unable to contain her joy as she stomps            both feet in an impatient yet endearing            manner. "sugar! cute! miaou, miao-o-u!"            even when she's lifted in the air, sugar            feels no malicious intent from this being.            sure, they were no zacharie, but what            did it matter? she was being pampered!            toes wiggle at her mirror with effort. her           hands raise towards the sky, and sugar            motions to be raised higher. "up, upper!"

        ’ is du-UH-UH-cky not wi-ITH you? hoo. ‘

           "ducky? you know ducky too?"            without warning, the small child clambers towards            the oscillating voice with childish wonder. "du-uh-            uh-cky! ducky!" sugar mimics, nimbly darting from            one mound of ashes to the next. her giggles are             more light than her alternate's, and clearly shows            her lack of fear with a cartwheel out into the open.

drawing this was quite an adventure
