#bernadetta 01

She shouldn’t do this. Anyone over the age of five knows that it’s wrong to shove a stranger. It’s even worse if you intentionally shove them into the glistening water of the lake that said stranger is leaning forward to admire in all of it’s glory. It’s not like she hates the girl who is doing nothing aside from minding her own business-- unfortunately, the stranger just so happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The logical side of the blonde knows that this would be a mistake. There are too many bad possibilities that could arise from this little stunt. But the mischievous side of her is the one that always comes out on top and Rin realizes that if she’s going to go through with this then she only has a small window of time remaining to get it done before the stranger moves along with their day.

The adrenaline that is suddenly coursing through her veins is what finally motivates the blonde to spring into action. Before she’s even aware of it, she is already racing forward, palms splayed out in front of her so that they can make instant contact with the other girl’s back as soon as the android gets close enough. It won’t take much strength at all, not with the steady momentum that she is picking up as she draws nearer and nearer. A peal of laughter escapes past her lips at the mental image she’s conjured of what this other girl’s expression will look like once they belly-flop into the cold lake below.

This carefree feeling makes the android nostalgic and it almost feels as if she is back at home; safe and surrounded by the people who love her. But just as she comes within arms’ length of her target the stranger unexpectedly steps to the side and directly out of harms way. The blonde attempts to come to a stop but it proves to be impossible and suddenly she is the one that goes toppling into the water in a shrieking blur of flailing limbs.

She really shouldn’t have done this.
