*Whoooooo*
"Yeaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
*Clap….clap….clap….clap…..clap*
"And hello to the hope in a new future."
"What are you going to do with your….ummm…old skin, Apple?"
"Use it as a memorabilia?"
"Nah.
If I do that then I will focus on who I was too long, and further prove to the Mermaids , that I hate who I am now.
I have to prove them wrong. I have to prove everyone wrong; but most importantly...I have to prove myself wrong."
"What'd you wish for?"
"Birthday wishes are sacred, Mango. I couldn't even tell you if I wanted to.
All I can say though is that what I wished for hopefully can turn into a Nightmare."
"A Nightmare? Why don't you want a Dream or….or…."
"You asked."
"And so I did."
"Oooooo….Ooooo. It's time to open your presents, Apple.
But I have to be honest; I tried my best go give word of your new..."
"Size?"
"So most of the presents are only tailored to…..who you were. I can figure out which ones aren't what you…."
"It's ok. They are already mashed together anyway."
"You sure you can help us, Rainbow?"
"I mean….that's why I am here. What do you got?"
"It's a...here.
She's got the stuffing knocked out of her."
"Indeed she has. Do you want me to buy you a new one?"
"Buy him a new one?
Rainbow, Stuffed animals are not….."
"Sorry. I meet real animals all day everywhere I go, so why not I….."
"Cause this one is special to me. She has always been there growing up. No matter where I went, she was there. Tangkoko has always been, always will be, and will never be.....replaced. From school to the Dining Table. From parties, to being scared, to being brave; I...…Even to the…"
"Okay. Okay. I can understand.
Would you like me to just stitch it up and give it back to you, or…."
"That's all you want? Just let me push the stuffing back in and I'll do it. Give it….."
"Hey, he gave her to me.
Besides, your fingers are too big.
Scissors, needle, thread, and a small cup of water please."
"Ummm….I can get you one inside."
"Thanks."
"Kyle, can you hold her, while I stitch?"
"Told you you can't use DeathPetal for everything. His 'nimble fingers' aren't sadly as delicate as your soft touch."
"Who said I was just stitching her?"
"Rainbow, don't you….Ouch."
"Sorry. Just hold her from the back, and get your fingers out of the way."
"Why did you need the cup for?"
"Because I…."
"Here's a cup. Couldn't find a big one so…."
"That's ok. Not for me."
"It's not?"
*Shake….shake...shake*
"Ummmm…..was the water always pink? That's not how I poured it."
*Drip….drip....drip…..drip*
"Rainbow, what are you…."
"Thank you, Kid. Now we finish one last sew; stitching in all the water and heart."
"Heart?"
"And…..Place her on the ground…..step back, and...."
"Hi, Philip."
"Ruuaaaaggghhhh!!!!!
….It speaks. Which, what did you do to my Tango, Lolli?"
"I made her better.
Course she is not fully alive or else that would require you to change her; and since I have been removed; I can't give you that; but.....if I do void basic features; then you should be fine."
"Basic….features?"
"She can walk, crawl; climb a little; but her skin is still soft and plushy."
"As long as she can walk and crawl; I don't need her to use the bathroom. I don't need her to eat. I don't need her to talk. I don't even need her to sleep."
"Glad I could help, but my offer still stands. Do you want to…"
"No thanks. You've done enough."
"Here is your needle, and cup back. Ohh….don't forget about the needle."
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now I can take her wherever I go and no longer have to leave her behind."
".....Rainbow, how did you do that back there?"
"How'd I do that?"
"Turn that water into pink life?
What magic did you use? What spell did you cast? I thought you were Barred from the book and studying ever again."
"Whoever said I needed the book to figure out how to do that. Besides, if I told you the secret; it would no longer be surprising."
"Maybe I will have the First Year Students tell me."
