"Ruby, can I talk to you a minute, before we head back?"
"I know the drill. Wash your hands before you eat."
"Actually, no. You called me, Mom back there. That was the first time ever; but you haven't called my husband, Dad? Why?"
"That's why you came? So, it wasn't about the perfume?"
"What perfume? I smelt it, but thought it was something that Darius bought you as well."
"You knew? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I'm a Mom. I know everything, but, I was also a girl once just like you."
"But why does the word Mom come naturally for you? Darius and Mr. Heartchild don't get me, but it's almost as if they're trying to keep me caged. All I have to say is, 'Brother', 'Dad'. Why is it soo HARD?"
"Maybe you just haven't had your heart to heart with him yet."
"But I….don't want…a Hampster!!!!!!"
"Ruby, it's not about the Hampster."
"It's not?"
"No. It's about why he is giving you the hampster. He is just doing his best."
"What about Darius? Why can't I say it? I've hung out with him and feel like he is the best thing that has ever happened to me, but I already have a brother; Adryan, and I'm sure he has siblings too. We'll never work out."
"But, he doesn't have a brother. Well........not anymore."
"I....We should head back. Boys must be missing us about now, and my tummies still hungry."
*Shirtiiditiddaaadeee*
"What was that?"
*Screeet, screet*
"There it is."
"KodKod, WAIT!!!!!!!! That's not a......Narbalek?"
*Boom......…..BOOM!!!*
"Ruby, how is it that that was able to grow so big, but your cat is still normal modern day size?"
"We don't know if she's finished growing."
"Meeeeeouww"
"But until she does, we got too."
