"Another Pinacalada, ma'am?"
"Thank you.
And thanks again for turning this place into my dream."
"Anything for your happiness."
"How bout spiked?"
"Nice try. We still need you breathing, so they can breathe."
"Shoot.
*Siauuuup*
*Ringaringaring*
"Uhoh. Uhoh.
*Erhermmm.*
Lolli here. The real....Lolli. What can I do for you?"
"Are you going to say that everytime someone calls the real you?"
"Ruby!! What an honor. How was your night?"
"It ended with me waking up to you right next to me."
"But that's impossible. I am right here, and the Dragons won't let either of us go anywhere."
"They certainly let you.
The Robots..........Explain."
"Ruby, I told you they cloned me, and you said that was awesome."
"Well, I...….I didn't know they would transform you into a literal bucket of nails and bolts."
"Hey, you watch your tongue, and your kick. The only way they turn evil is if I lose my anger. They can't go on their own."
"That's good to know.
Tell me, did they ask you first; or did they just do whatever they wanted?"
"They asked me........…a few minutes before Frostwing said they were shipped."
"Lolli."
"I'm sorry. What did you want me to do? I don't have an angry bone in my body and neither will they. In fact, even if they do turn angry; the worst you can expect is they lock you in your house; do all your daily chores, and you die from laziness."
"Not old age?"
"If you sit on the couch all day, does it matter?"
"Lolli."
"What?"
"Shifuuuuuuuuuuuu...….whoooooo.
.....Are you happy?"
"Mama's always happy. Drinking by the pints, chilling by the pool, and eating all so delicious 'sticks'."
"I see they are catering to you quite nicely."
"Or....you know. They probably dropped us off at one of their Nurseries and told the Kids to keep an eye on me. Can't imagine an eight thousand plus year old Dragon succumbing to my every whim and cry?"
"No.....No I cannot. They would never stoop that low."
"Exactly, but I am not mad. They could've trapped me in an alternate reality for all I care. As long as I have communication with my outside animals; I'd be happy."
"Lolli, that's not what trapped...…whatever. Enjoy yourself.
Thank you; and have a great day."
"Hey, don't kick my robots. They are connected with the present so they will grow with you. Something I could never do, and Rainbow failed to teach me."
"Lolli, don't say that. The Dragons are not replacing you. They're just....their......….their extending your arms and eyesight. Yeah. You will never have to answer a phone call with 'It's me, the real Lolli. Miss me?'"
"I hope you're right about that, but as far as everyone is concerned; I am just a Model. A Supercomputer as you said."
"And I feel stupid for saying that."
"Who would ever come to visit the real me, when they have all my Upgrades around?"
".....I would."
"You gotta find me first, and I promised not to disclose."
"That's fine. I like a challenge. I'd search for you high and low, and to the ends of the Earth. As Tai said; leave no family behind."
"I'm...family."
"Of course you are, and you will always be. I'd fight a Dragon for you anyday."
"Please don't do that."
"Why? You fight...…unlike Jacklyn."
"She'll come around to understand.....and so will you."
"Undertsand? Understand what? Lolli, Dragons are….."
"Gotta go. It's time for 'freaky hips, slippery ships.'"
"Huh?"
"It's dancetime, Baby. Call you when I have freetime. Good luck, you're welcome for everything; and have fun.
I know I am."
*Beep*
".......Bye then.
You are more like Rainbow than you think, Lolli. She was quick to give her power if it meant saving others, and so are you quick to give; if it means seeing the rest smile.
I wish we all had the bravery of you.
...…Cause I could certainly use it right now."
"COMING, RUBY? The First Playground is erect. Want a slide?"
"I'LL BE RIGHT OUT."
