A/N: Another drabble about Felicity. You may have guessed she's my favorite character.

I always wanted to be a hero.
Ever since I was a little girl and my father told me stories about battles at sea with horrible, evil pirates and how he saved the day, I wanted to be able to save someone. That's where Pippa came in.
She was new, beautiful, rich... everything a girl could ever want to be. But she was naïve and vulnerable.
She needed a hero. I needed someone to save.
Pippa and I reigned supreme over Spence, and all the empty headed girls that attended. She was older than me by a year, but started later than I did. At first, it was just an alliance: we were brought together by sheer need, not friendship.
But eventually, it became even more than friendship. We were sisters, with an unbreakable bond.
No one had ever though of her as anything more than a pretty face. I believed she could spin a web of golden clouds, if she wanted to. She relied on that, relied on me, and I loved that. I loved being needed, something I had never felt before.
Summers were lazy days at my aunt's country manor, nights sleeping in the grass under the stars. We loved exploring the woods, following animal tracks and pretending to be mighty huntresses. Well, I wanted to be a mighty huntress. Pippa was just along for the ride, daydreaming about princes and castles in the air.
Autumn came, and with it the day I declared we were going to walk back to Spence, rather than wait for the carriage. Our trunks had been sent the previous day, so we stole two pairs of a stable boy's breeches and trekked back to the Great Cage. Pippa didn't really like exercise, but she was always game to follow wherever I led.
The term began happily, if dully. Then one day a new girl came to Spence. She was tall with a mess of red hair and gorgeous eyes, and she dared to stand up to me. She didn't need a hero, but intrigued me just the same.
Pip was hurt, and sulked when Gemma showed us the realms and therefore became my new right hand. But I thought Pippa would be fine now, she didn't need me anymore. Maybe that was why I was let her go.
If I had known what it would cost me, I would have given up all the power of the Order just to be her hero for one more day.

A/N: So… blegh. Didn't turn out as well as I hoped it would. I'm not very keen on the ending. If you agree, or disagree, or just want to say something, go click the purple blue button down there!
