Later on, in the choir room, after dismissal, Mrs. Chambers, with a few too many sporks, grabs one and hands it to one of her favorite students, a 6th grader, Lily. Lily looks at her in confusion.

Lily: "Huh??? What- what is this for?"

Mrs. Chambers doesn't answer.

Lily comes home with her new spork. Starts giving the spork a dress, a face, and talking to her like she actually exists. Slowly, through a long chain of events, gives the spork lore. Names it 'Sir Sporkathan James Bond I', makes it a knight, and makes it transfem, demiromantic, and a sex-repulsed ace.

Over several months, Lily starts bringing Sporkathan everywhere without even noticing, uses her as a fidget, calms down by holding her, and can never fully explain Sporkathan's backstory.

But something changes one day in choir...

Apologies for the weird line break! I don't know how to use the actual ones in Tumblr, so I improvised.
