"Stephanie, I would never leave you."
"No? Then where'd you go last night?"
"Out."
"Out where?"
"Stephanie, I think those two Detectives are a bad influence on you. There is a difference between staking out someone's business to help them......and just plain nose pickers."
"I'm not a nose picker."
"Then show me your hands."
"Uhhhh."
".....That's what I thought. Now, if you really want to snoop around someone's case, I know a lot of Books needing your attention."
"Yes, mom."
*Wriiaaaankk*
"Awoouuuu.
Aaaaghh. Erherrmm.
Did I here you're looking for a guy that needs your attention?"
"Uhhhhhhhh…Have we met?"
"I thought your mom told you not to stoop."
*Zip*
Lips are sealed.
I'll...leave you two alone. If he's the boy you were 'Out' with.....last night, then I won't blame you."
"Stephanie, wait. I…..
*Slam*
...….Hi, Brian."
"Was....did I....That was the other Stephanie?"
"I thought I told you to stay away."
"Here, let me help you clean. Kids can get so messy sometimes."
"Uhuh."
"When I was her age, I could conjur up a robot to do my cleaning for me. Was pretty good at it too."
"Did you conjur him up to do your homework as well?"
"Hey, now. Give credit where credit is due."
"I am."
"....So...….how you been? I missed you, you know?
I walked out on you."
"And then I walked out on you. Your point?"
"....I'm back. To give you.....us…..I mean...….Give us another shot."
"How many times do I have to say the word no? The moment you screamed like a girl, I stopped loving you. I didn't love you then, and once you turned into a Knight who took down a Dragon, I still didn't love you now."
"But I keep telling you. That was a real dragon."
"And I'll tell you the same thing. Why couldn't you attack my heart just as ferociously as you attacked the Dragons? Cause I did that to you.
I just...….thought you would do it to me."
"I am now."
"Well, you're too late. I plan on protecting Steph from all creeps like you. How'd you even get back? Wait….don't tell me. You used your profound status to lure loyal men into setting up a comeback story for you. Not only have you wasted my time, and Stephanies time; but you have now wasted Rainbow's time. They should be out giving magic and spreading joy. Not...cleaning up after a depressed boy."
"I'm not a boy. I'm a man."
"Then act like one."
".......I.....I can see your tense. Here, let me rub your shoulders. A girl can never turn down a free massage. You loved it back at home."
"...Oooo…..Oooo....Oooo.
No, no, no, no.
You can't just walk back in, give me flowers; and expect everything is chill."
"It's not?"
"No. It's not."
"How big must I go to earn your forgivenes? I can....I can...…..I can bring back three Dragon hearts if you'd like. No.....Seven. Yeah. One for every....."
"Don't you get it. You can'y buy my heart and rebuild the pieces. You broke it once, please don't come here to do it again. Goodbye."
"Wai…wai….wait."
"I said, 'Goodbye.'"
"Fine. Then I'll go down and talk to my old Stephanie. At least she's still got sense left in her."
"Good luck finding her."
"I know where she is. She's at One Pearl."
"Could be...couldn't be. Who knows really."
".....Good day, Jewels."
"Good day, Brian."
"...........Hmmm. One Pearl, she said. Now....if I were a School...…where would I...…bingo.
The bigger they are…
*Gulp*
….…..The harder it is to find stuff."
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
