"Okay, Starlight. Make a cut right there."
"Right here?"
"Yes. I hold, you measure. Careful now. Unless you know where more Sirens are, this is all we have."
"Huuuuu.....whooooooo."
"Feels different when you're making a dress for yoiurself, huh? No longer for Dolls, but yours alone."
"It….does seem intimidating. I love looking at my dolls, for I know exactly how to cut everything to match. Here, I have no mirror; I have no guide. Just measurements. I know they are of me, but I would still prefer a model."
"The only Shapeshifter who can model you, is flying right now. And I don't have a mirror big enough. So you're gonna have to eyeball it. Sorry."
"It's ok. God gave them to us for a reason. Long before tools came around, we had to use our own body. We did it once, we can do it again."
"That's the spirit. Just don't cut my fingers."
"I won't."
"Please…..don't cut my fingers. It won't just be a bandage problem if you do."
"I have steady hands. You have nothing to worry for."
"I trust you one hundred ten…..ouch."
"Did I get you?"
"...Hahahaahaa….no."
"You Moron. Almost scared me half to death. Don't you ever do that to me again."
"I promise…"
"Promise…..what?"
"I promise to do it to you again."
"......Of course you do."
"Jacklyn, can you come with me a sec?"
"Of course, Scar. What do you need?"
"Well...since we won't be getting nay Passengers anytime soon, and I know you love Basketball just as much as you love yourself…"
"Go on."
"I was thinking we could turn this empty room into an Ice rink. You know….to help you practice. We all got to see our parents, but you didn't get to see yours. As you say to us, this could be your one defining moment. And I want to help you make that happen. It's not about Theo. It's not about the Kids. It's not about whose Mother will walk away with them. It's about you. It's always about you. First and foremost. Seems selfish, but I promise you it's not.
Now, you know I can freeze stuff all the way through, but in order to make an Ice rink, you have to freeze the top; but keep the layer underneath fresh.
The only thing I ask.
*Touch*
*Kurrrrrssiiiaaaaachsssshhhhaiiaaaaaakkkkkk*
Is that you teach all of us as well."
"Sounds like a plan. If I can find the skates, I'll get you all yours dates.
And look. Here comes our first contestant now."
"Do you like it? It's a little….
Woo, woo, woo, woo, wooooo."
"Jacklyn, hurry. Give her some skates."
"Whoooooooo."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh."
*Eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaakiiiaaaaaakkkkk*
"Whoo.
...…I wanna do that again?"
"You were flawless, Starlight."
"And your Dress...…..stole the show."
"Awwww. Thank you. Couldn't have done it without you two."
"Now get off the Ice before you get stuck in it. I still have to run Sanders over it so it's not Jagged."
"When do you think it will be done?"
*Ding*
"Oh no. I'm not going to wake up to find you sleeping on your feet in a pair of skates. None of us may know anything about Iceskating, but that doesn't mean you can overpush yourself on us. We know about exhaustion, and know you don't have to draw blood to get there."
"Sorry. I'm just too excited. Can't wait to rip it up."
"Aaaauuwhwh. The otroscity."
"Starlight, I don't mean rip up your dress. I mean...nevermind. It's late. We're all tired. Jacklyn, don't stay up sandblasting."
"It's..."
"And Darius and El."
"Yeah?"
"Remember to switch off shifts. Once you see Rocketra, you can ease off. Ariel will guide us in."
"Oh. The.....you removed the controller that was here. Why? What happened to autopilot?"
"I weighed the risk, and although it can fly while we sleep; it is too slow. If an attack were to commence, it would stay at the same speed, not giving a bother."
"Cons outweighed the pros."
"Sadly."
"Don't beat yourself up, Kid. I know one day you will create something that will revolutionize the world.
I know....cause I saw it."
"Thanks for the words of encouragement, Helen. I'm going to bed. Dreaming about dancing with my Mom...…and my dads arms wrapped around me as we spin...Twirl....and I.....Woo, woo, wooo.
*Crash*
Ouch."
"Maybe you want to help spin little miss Ballerina back to ther bedroom, Helen."
"Of course."
"Come on, Tippy toes. It's a shower, and then bed for you. That goes for all of you."
"Yes, Helen."
