"Did we just get kicked out on the first day?"
"No thanks to you."
"Hey, you started it."
"You heard her. You poked a bear. What did you expect?"
"That's it."
"Huh?"
"People expect you to fight back, and who knows what our Parents do."
"Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe they're here to learn magic to defend against....us?"
"Then we just need to learn everyone wrong."
"You mean, teach?"
"Huh?"
"You said learn.
Feels like all you do is go to School and break up stuff, but not really be....there."
"You know nothing."
".......Friends?"
"You expect me to shake that, after what you did?
How do I know you're not just fashioning me up to be another one of your trophies? Make your dad proud."
"STOP!!!!"
"Oooooh."
"Haaaa…..whooooo.
.....I used to be like you."
"What!!!!!!!!!"
"Even Tarred a teacher once because they gave me a bad grade."
"Rex?"
"Then I went home and got in more trouble with my parents, but that only made me angrier. So, I went to the Teachers house and started breaking his windows. He broke my reputation; I wanted to break his face.
Thankfully, his neighbors heard me and were able to restrain me using brute force so I wouldn't do anything further."
"But that doesn't seem like you at all. You seem nice.....kind...even helpful. Anybody else who got in detention with me would do their best to make it up to me after the adults stopped looking, but not you. Why did you…."
"I wasn't a bad guy by any means. It's just, in my strive for perfection; I was like a backup car. Kept everything bottled up in my pursuit of one goal and one goal only. Perfection. But…..I was so focused and so willing to go super fast that the smallest punch from a car made me literally....spin out of control. In the process, hurting others."
"Still striving for perfection?"
"Nobody is perfect, Stephanie.
But that doesn't mean for one second I will let people like you stop others from trying."
So you fight at our level?
That is the stupidest strength tactic ever. If you want us to change, then you…."
"Stephanie, if you want peace…...then be ready for war.
Thank you, Sir. Keep the change.
Want a snow cone?"
"I think they are called..Ice…cream…cones, and no."
"Why not?"
"You think I went to the Wizardy School to get stupider?"
"Stephanie."
"You are all the same. Bribe the monster. Find the one thing they are hiding; use it against them, and claim your trophy. Then you can brag to others saying 'I killed the beast. I finally found their weak spot."
*Whack*
"My Ice cream cone."
"I will change.....and I don't need your help doing it."
"Stephanie.....are YOU EVEN CONFIDENT THEY WILL BELEIVE?
YOU...NEED ME.
YOU......NEED........ME!!!!!!"
"....Ahiiahiiiahiiiahiiiahiiii."
"Psst."
*Sniff*
"Over here."
"Who are you? What do you want with...…Mom?"
