Imagined images: Paper chain

The girl looked at her chain, frowning as she made a row of several perfect people. Each were the same proportion, had the same basic skirt design, complete mirrors of the one before.

Yet she wasn't happy about it.

"What's wrong?" The boy asked her.

"It's perfect," the little girl pouted, her bottom lip jutting out as she folded her arms across her chest and huffed.

"Why is that a bad thing?" He asked, confused.

"Because we're not perfect!" she whined. "I'm short, Bella's clumsy and Rosie's mean. You're tall, Emmett's huge and Edward's too thin."

This gave the boy an idea. "Can I?" he asked reaching for her chain. She nodded and watched him as the look of concentration placed itself on his face.

Slowly he trimmed each character and colored it in, except the two in the middle. He paused looking up with wide brown eyes to stare at the little girl besides him before blushing and returning to his work.

The girl leaned closer in her seat, curious as to what he was doing and why he was hiding his work from her.

"Done," the little boy smiled, beaming at her as his blond hair flopped in his face. He placed the change in front of her.

The chain was no longer six characters of the same shape and color, but now there were six individuals. The one he didn't cut, had black curly hair and a big smile, much like Emmett. Next to him was one with long wavy blond hair and a frown.

The little girl giggled and pointed. "Rosie?" she asked him. He nodded grinning at the fact she knew.

She looked back to the chain to see another blond – although shorter hair – character smiling while a giant red heart upon it's chest. She could see that he had trimmed it to make this character thinner than the Emmett one and knew it was Jasper.

Next to that was a shorter character. It's hair was black and short with big blue eyes and a smile. It too had a heart drawn on it's chest.

The little girl got up from her seat to hug him. "Thank you, Jasper," she breathed.

"Do you like it?" he asked returning her hug. She nodded her head against his shoulder, her spiky black locks making his nose tickle.

"It's perfect."
