"Ariel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…Ariel?
Where are you?
Before you leave, I wanted to tell you something. You asked me to search myself, and I have. What I found was..."
"Three...…..two...….one....LIFT OFF!!!!"
*Baaaaaburrrrrssshhhhhhhhhaaaauuushhhhhhhhh*
"Beautiful!!!!!!"
"Ruby, look."
"Elwin, up."
"Jacklyn, what is….."
"There she goes."
"...There who goes?
Nurse Lin, where is Ariel? Where is my young Ariel?"
"Young?"
".....Oh no.
Did I act like a complete Jack?"
"Of all traits...…besides that, no."
"How old?"
"Ummmmmm."
"How old?"
"She left letters for everyone."
"Letters?"
"Here's yours."
"Wait, you can't just blast Ariel off in a rocket, and then bid me farewell. I want answers.
Nurse Lin, you hear me? I want.....Hmmm.
'To: Darius. The Lightt of day.'
Darius, thanks for helping me be a Kid again; and realizingg that the Young...…are the best source of happiness a Pureblood could ever attain. My favorite music is Jazz, and my favorite animal is the Tiger Shark. They are just so big, powerful, and majestic. I wanted the best of both worlds, and since Lionsharks don't exist; Tigers it was. Why do you like butterfliiieeesss so much? Is it because they are free and seem to just flap forever. I...' "
"Where is she?"
"Where is Ariel?"
"Girls, you can't just barge in here. I was trying to…"
"We saw a ship leave. Was she in it? What is she? Where did she come from, and what is her true form?"
"Hi, my name is L.T Rachel.
May I help you?"
"Did you help Ariel escape? All she wanted to do was go home."
"And now she is home, Jacklyn.
All thanks to you."
"How....how...…how did you build so fast?"
"We are Manicans and dolls of our own respective Trades. We know nothing else."
"So...…..you didn't wressle your mind on if she should stay or go?"
"Or…..at least have her tell us goodbye?"
"Well…."
"It was all her idea. We just helped bring it to life."
"Nurse, Lin. You saying you didn't force her to do anything? Abandon her friends and not even give us one last hug?"
"She said goodbyes were always the hardest to give."
"But….she didn't mind leaving you some letters.
Here."
"Letters? How did she..."
"What matters not is how, but why."
"Then why?"
"That...…..is for you all to decide...…personally.
Here you go. Pick the one with your name on it."
"Ohhh….kay.
Ummm, this one's for you. This ones for you. Here's yours. Here's…."
"Actually, that one says my name."
"Oops. Okay, so, here is yours; here is yours, and here is….."
"Where's mine?"
"Apple, she only gives out letters to people who were there."
"I was there.
...…..In spirit and in truth."
"Nice try.
You all ready for the big day?
I am proud of all of you."
"Why? We just helped out a girl. Nothing more to it."
"Nothing more to it?
You could have used her to help you escape, like you always wanted."
"You...you saw everything?"
"Lolli makes a very good security system. So much so, we don't even need cameras, but….what we do need.....is more people like you. Second day you came to life, I asked you; 'Are you going to help the Kids, and prepare them for their future?' You told me, 'What about us? What do we get out of this? We want to escape. Will they help us with that?' Well, today; you have proven your worth.
As for you, Darius.....Ariel is right."
*Gulp*
"She is?"
"Nobody asked you to step in and help. You just did, but in the process lost yourself. Stay a Kid, live your life. You are the youngest of us all, and it's time to act on it. We're here to train Kids to grow up, you…are there to make sure they never lose their Inner voice."
