Remember Me

“If that makes you happy, then it’ll make me the same way.”

There was a small pause before she grinned a little cheekily. “If you feel happy then you should go out on a date with me.”

CONFUSED DAD NOISES HERE.

CONFUSED MOM NOISES

she has her ways.

“I– WELL… I HAD NO SOCIAL SKILLS AT THAT TIME AND I WAS A HUGE ARSE TO EVERYONE AND– AGH THERE’S NO NEED TO BRING THAT UP! I– YOU DO LOOK NICE THAT WAY, BUT TO ME YOU’RE STILL A LITTLE GIRL. MY LITTLE GIRL– SO UM… you already told your mom. Well… frick…”

“...so since Mama knows, can I stay like this then? I wanna stay like this for a long time.” Cue getting to the heart of the matter, yo.

He can’t win against that sort of look. “Well, I’d certainly be an idiot to think otherwise.” He didn’t even need any prompting - pretty much on every cute girls’ side in the world.

“Then you think I should stay like this for a while?” If you’re on her side, then she’s definitely going to look like this for a long time then!

NO REALLY HOW???????????????

TOTALLY MAGIC.........YUP.........YOU KNOW.....NOT LIKE......SHE WAS A NORMAL CHILD ANYWAY......

ERM. UM. WHICH ANSWER WASN’T GOING TO GET HIM KILLED? “You look beautiful, of course, but I still thought you were when we first met.” well cute, but, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE SOMEONE HELP

“But I look better this way, right?” Cue pouting and trying to win him over to the dark side.

“I… I AM NOT MEAN. I’M JUST LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST– I… THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT– THERE’S NO NEED TO CRY. AND I AM PROUD OF YOU. IT’S JUST… WAIT. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT? AND OH GODS DON’T BRING YOUR MOM INTO THIS.”

“YOU’RE TOTALLY MEAN. YOU USED TO YELL AT ME ALL THE TIME, REMEMBER? AND HOW COME YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT I LOOK NICE THIS WAY. I WANT YOU TO BE PROUD OF ME---oh. Too late, I already told mom.”

“LET’S NOT FIGHT OVER ME YOU TWO.”

“BUT DON’T I LOOK BETTER THIS WAY?”

“YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A LITTLE GIRL… NOT AN ADULT. AT LEAST NOT YET! IS THIS BECAUSE OF THAT BOY YOU WERE TALKING TO? I TOLD YOU HE WASN’T A GOOD INFLUENCE. NOW STOP THE TEENAGE DRAMA AND… ERR… TURN BACK TO NORMAL.”

“YOU’RE SO MEAN!! I WANNA BE TALL AND BE LIKE YOU AND MOM. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT? I LEARNED TO DO THIS ALL BY MYSELF. AT LEAST BE PROUD OF ME....BESIDES IT WASN’T HIS FAULT. IT’S YOU AND MOM’S FAULT!! AND I AM NORMAL. WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THAT?”

“WHAT THE HELL…?! WHEN DID YOU GET SO BIG?! YOU’RE SUPPOSE TO BE LITTLE!”

“I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT BUT I’MMA STAY THIS WAY FOREVER. YOU CAN’T STOP ME!!”

“Sure, so long as it puts a smile on your face.” That’d be a crime all in itself, huh.

“Do you like smiles then?” It actually would be because of her pseudo parents finding out. Especially the angry one.

“If the little princess says so, then I must adhere to it.”

“So you’ll play with me then?” You better or she’ll cry.
