William didn't sleep well. Going to sleep right after using his powers caused him to have nightmares about 4 years ago. He woke up as early as the sun, and went to pick his clothes on the ground, just then he noticed his shirt was covered in dirt because of Blair and asks himself if he should wash Blair's hair that day. William turns the lights on just to find out he had brought the cleaning day earlier. He sweeps the living room and the hallway and gets Blairs dirty clothes to wash it. While washing the clothes, he starts thinking about how his life changed and how it could have been. He hangs the clothes and wears another gray long sleeved shirt and sweat pants and goes to Blair's bedroom to watch her sleeping. She seemed so calm and innocent, he felt pity to wake her up to wash her hair. William wished he could be like Blair, despise everything, she's happy. But she's happy because she doesn't know, and probably will never know.
Blair finally wakes up, full of energy.
- DAD! Good morning! I had the most wonderful dream! I was in a sweetland, and, and there were unicorns and dragons and there was a princess and, and… I forgot. -
- Good morning Blair! It's ok, dreams are shy, they run away when you try to tell someone about them. -
- Really? -
- Yes, but don't worry about it, ok? Now I think you should get that hair washed! -
- Ok. -
William washes and dries Blair's platinum hair. After bath, William goes to the kitchen, puts Blair on her highchair and starts preparing her breakfast.
- Dad, adults dream? -
- I don't know, I think most of them do. -
- Do you dream? YEAH! EGGS! -
William serves Blair scrambled eggs. While she was eating, someone knocked on the door. William goes to check at the peephole and sees Dustine, Sarah Klaw and an unknown girl with a hood covering her face. William immediately gets anxious because Sarah Klaw is at his door, he could already see himself in a gossip magazine being portrait as some kind of celebrity boyfriend. He cogitated to pretend he wasn't there and hoped no one had seen him, until he remembers Dustine is with them and she knows he is at home.
Right after the successful mission of slaying a dragon, Dustine went back home and showered. When she finished her shower she received a message from Sarah Klaw.
Sarah - "Hey, do u know ur single dad friend address"
Dustine - "Hi"
Dustine - "Ofc I do"
Dustine - "Why?"
Sarah - " Radish want to promote him"
Sarah - "Redrot*"
Dustine - "Why she don talk with him?"
Sarah - "According to her: HeS aVoIdInG mE!" [old lady emoji]
Dustine - "Lol!"
Dustine - "But hes shy, u know that"
Dustine - "It would be better if I go with u maybe?"
Sarah - "Can we go tomorrow morning? I have a lot of stuff to do this week"
Dustine - "Ok I guess"
Sarah - "Can I bring someone 2?"
Dustine - "I don think its a good idea"
Sarah - "See u at the Scarlet shop next to ur house?"
Dustine - "Ok"
Dustine basically jumps on her bed after setting an alarm to as early as the sunrise. She wakes up, dresses herself up with gray pants, a sleeveless light blue shirt and a black hoodie, eats breakfast, grabs her purse and goes to the Scarlet Corp. shop. The Scarlet corp. is a massive makeup brand that has been recently popping on the market. Dustine meets Sarah and Seraphina surrounded by fans wanting to take pictures with them, especially with Seraphina, who was handling the situation worse than Sarah.
- TINE! There you are! -
Sarah greets Dustine and goes to hug her. Sarah was wearing a black t-shirt and jean shorts. Seraphina was wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants and a black hooded vest and tries to greet Dustine as well, but because of her fans, she decides to grab Sarah's and Dustine's arms and run away to mislead them.
Seraphina wears her hood, trying to push it as much as possible to hide her face and go walking in a different way to William's home.
- You should have done that since the beginning. -
Sarah mocks Seraphina.
- Yeah. That sure would have saved us some time. -
Dustine says.
After that, they finally get to William's door. Dustine knocks the door. William goes to check at the peephole and after calming down, he takes Blair out of the highchair, grabs her plate and puts her in her room, she complains so he gives her a watermelon slice. William locks Blair's room and then goes to answer the door. Dustine enters already greeting William, with Sarah and Seraphina entering behind.
- Hi Willy! Where 's Blair? -
- She's still asleep, what do you want? -
- Hmm… First things first… Sorry for being xenophobic… -
Seraphina takes her hood off and William immediately recognizes her, not as the woman that told him that speaking sedento and having an accent was inappropriate, but as the A raked hunter and model Seraphina Ve, known for supposedly killing a giant dangerous monster alone with one simple spell. William's first reaction is to try to kick them out, but Dustine notices William moving his arm to point at the door and interrupts him, pushing his arm down with one hand and using the other to cover his mouth.
- Hey Willy! Calm down! They're here to ask you something important! -
Dustine throws William on his sofa while Sarah prepares herself to say something in an epic matter and Seraphina is just embarrassed waiting for her answer.
- William Leech, the WindBreak Foundation decided that you are worthy of joining our strongest hunters and live a life of wealth, fame and glory! Was it good? -
Seraphina gives a thumbs up to Sarah while not looking at her. Dustine is quite surprised and deeply disappointed with herself for not only offering to help Sarah, but actually doing it despite doing it dead tired and basically out of herself. William, otherwise, is scared and holds Dustine's arm, getting her hand out of his mouth. He takes a deep breath, stands up and points at the door.
- You two, get out of my house. Now. -
- What? -
Sarah gets confused, Dustine is worried, Seraphina just accepts it, wears her hood and gets out.
- You heard me. Get out of my house. -
- B-But, do you know what you're throwing away? -
- Are you deaf? Get. Out. My. House-
- The offer will still be open in case you change your mind. -
Sarah gives up and leaves disappointed. William is still holding Dustine's arm and just stares at her eyes with disappointment for 2 minutes.
- Can't you just respect my privacy? -
William takes his hand off Dustine's arm, because Sarah and Seraphina weren't there anymore, he sounded more relaxed, but still somewhat hurt and deeply disappointed.
- You didn't understand! I-I was dead tired, a-and I always thought everybody wanted to become rich and famous. I mean… Y-You're a single parent, that money would sure help! -
Dustine was trying to explain herself nervously, but her voice was shaking and she was holding back her tears. She cowered, with her arms crossed trying to protect herself. But she still was trying to hold a smile, even if that looked more terrified than anything.
- I'm trying to raise a kid, that doesn't mean that I want any fame at all. I would prefer to be as far away as possible from it. -
Dustine tries to not cry loudly, pretending she stills the mature adult there. She leaves cleaning her face with her sleeves and mumbling something about her father.
William locks the front door right after Dustine leaves and unlocks Blair's bedroom door. She had finished the scrambled eggs and eaten all the watermelon, even the rind, and was playing restaurant with the lilac plush bunny Dustine gave her on her 3th birthday and other toys sitting in a circle. William looks at the plush bunny until Blair notices the door is open.
- DAD! What happened? -
Blair askes full of joy.
- Just boring adult stuff. What are you doing? -
William gets closer to her and smiles.
- I'm making the finest pasta in the world! -
Blair raises and shows William her toy pan.
- That's wonderful! -
