A Small Stick of Fairy-Floss

She knew she'd get sick if she ate it all, but the soft squishy pink looked too appealing to resist. 'Tohma!' she tugged at her brother's sleeve and he looked at her. 'Let's get some fairy floss!'

He frowned a little, and she tossed a pout to him. 'Just a little bit?' she cajoled. 'Just a little pinch from yours?'

Which meant Tohma would have to eat the rest, and he grimaced at the thought of all that sweet..

Relena caught the frown. 'We could get a doggy bag?' she volunteered. 'I promise I won't steal any extra bites.'

'It'll shrivel up,' Tohma said absently. 'It'll be the size of your tablets by the time you'll want it again.

'Aww…' Relena released her grip on her brother's sleeve and looked at the fairy floss coming out of the machine. 'I suppose it has to be eaten fresh then.'

Just as well probably, as she doubted her grandmother would let her keep the doggy bag. She'd be angry at the fairy floss anyway. 'Maybe we can try the fishing –' She stopped when she realised, while trying to grab his brother's sleeve again, that Tohma was no longer there. 'Tohma?' she called.

'I'm coming!' she heard from the crowd, and she craned her neck to try and find her brother's blond hair in the sea of black and brown. She couldn't sitting down in her wheelchair, and while she could have stood up to try, she had so many other things she wanted to see and do with her brother that day.

He returned quickly as he'd said, with a stick of fairy floss in hand. It wasn't as big as the one's she'd seen with other kids though, and she looked at it a moment before accepting it.

'I asked for a smaller one,' Tohma explained. 'Though you still can't eat all of this.'

Relena smiled. 'Half and half?' she asked. It looked just about.

And they did split it like that, Tohma taking a seat on a nearby bench and Relena in her wheelchair and the stick of fairy floss being passed back and forth until it was gone.
