"Get the fire extinguisher before anybody realizes what we..."
*Errrriiwwiaaaaaaaaaannnnn.....Pisssshhhhhhh*
"Too late."
"Oops."
"Hey, who turned off the lights?"
"WIND BUBBLE!!!!!"
*CRASH*
".......JACK...…..LYNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I think this time we are going to the Principal's office."
"Not if I can help it."
"I know you wanted to get out your anger and frustration, and this may be the place for it, but it is not a playground. This Y did not only serve as a getaway for Schools, but also as a community center for the Locals, a Library for the Explorers, and the first step in friendship for Tour...…..ists?"
"You wanted to see me Rosa?"
"How did you…..but you...I saw…..the Building.....It…it collapsed. You did something."
"No need to stutter, Ma'am. I know you are shocked."
"I…."
"If you are refering to her making it better, as doing something; then I stand by. I agree."
"Herrmm.
Jacklyn, you may be an Elemental, and you may be adorned by your fans, but you also are a rolemodel. If they can't get away with breaks, then why should you?"
"See you later, Boys."
"Come on. I don't need physical evidence to know when something is going on."
"What…..uhhh.....do you think is going on?"
"Jacklyn, I have not come to slap your hand. I was waiting for your return to my Palace."
"You were?"
*Oof*
"Yes.
We have a lot to talk about."
"We do?"
"I remember you as a Baby, and your parents first brought you home. To the Girl you are now. It's...it's beyond fathom."
"Are you crying for me?"
"I think the droplets are still coming down."
"Oh sure."
"Your parents told me to hang onto something for you."
"Me?"
"When you got older."
"Why you? Couldn't they just trust a family friend or something?"
"I guess I was the safest person. Anybody can leave in a Kingdom. We don't force people to stay, but do you know who can never leave?"
"The Kings and Queens."
"Now you're getting the picture. They did not give me money, even though most of your inventions have left a crease in my Pockets on more than a few occasions over the years. Nor did they leave a distress number for which to call in case you.......I'll just show you what they left. They knew that they might not be here to see you when you finally face up to your fears and not run from them, but I can promise that they are more than happy you have."
"Didn't feel like it. Everywhere I went, I saw a Lolli screaming at a Person, and my dads voice blaring through their lips."
"Parents have the best intentions in the moment, but life always distracts them from execution. That's why there is always a third person outside your group, as well as one inside to keep you accountable.
Okay, now you are getting me interested. What is it? What did they leave me? Tell me. Tell me. Tell me."
"You're still just like a Child."
"I am a Child."
".........Not from the way I see it."
"Mom? I…..hold that thought.
*Clip…..clip…..snatch*
There you two….are?"
"Hun, if you yell any louder, you won't have a voice left to congrat our girl."
"I told her I am happy she is home."
"No. The other 'Congrat.'"
"The other....
*Wink*
Ohh...…..Oh that.
Are we all present?"
"Hear you loud and clear."
"And see you too."
"You still held on to it?"
"I could never let it go. Jacklyns leaving, and if not; I may have taken it for myself."
"Taking it for your….."
"Ooo..hooo….hooo…hooo.....That would be...I don't think you would be able to fit."
"Oh, I'd certainly try."
"Fit?But I already have a homemade uniform. You can't strip me of all my life accomplishments."
"Those life accomplishments almost got you killed, Young one."
"I…."
"Plus your uniform is very basic. Practical….yes. Safe….no."
"This Box is for you."
"What's inside?"
"Just open it. I know you'll like it."
"Mom….Dad...if this is any trinquet that diminishes my power making me 'Normal' I want nothing to do with it. Can't you see I have shown you that I am as Normal as can be?"
"Honey, we don't want you to be normal. In fact, we love who you are. Just wanted to give you something that....can help defend you if you found yourself ridiculed by others."
*Click*
"It's...….a Necklace?"
"Put it on; put it on; and click the button. We didn't know that you would be making your own version, but...a little bit of armor never hurt anyone.
Your shirts keep you warm, yes…..but…."
*Tap*
*Ting….ting…..ting, .ting, ting, ting, ting*
"Sick."
"This keeps you hot. You should never float away ever….ever…..again."
"But you can float away the competition."
"Hun."
"This is the newest and greatest Military lineup. Not available to the Public, and only a handful to Soldiers; but money does talk. I know you don't like using your Fists, but if ever that need arises, you're covered. Literally. From head to toe in protective attire. Bulletproof, stabproof, and weather proof."
"She knows that."
"The only way to attack you is one on one, but…."
"Then...I will have the Upper hand."
"By that time you should have had more than enough time to call an adult. This is a prototype, Jacklyn. Very few made. Although it does increase your speed and agility, for Hyper jumps; the battery life on it is so poor that…"
*Tissshhh*
*Zerruuuoaaaauuum*
"You mean this Battery?"
"That battery powers your whole suit. I know you like to Tinker, but why did you just rip it?"
"Hun, let her explain. Maybe she has made her own battery and wanted to see how this one works. Right, Jacklyn?"
*Crush*
"Huh!!!!!!"
"I need no battery to 'Jump'.
…..I am the Battery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
