"Are you ready?" A bright blue Cadillac called out. It was Sunday, a day off for him, but for a certain airplane, it was a nervous breakdown kind of day.
"I don't know." A timid voice responded. An extremely small plane emerged from the room he was in and looked up at the Cadillac.
"Max, it will be fine. I will stay there with you if you want me to." The Caddy smiled. "But we don't want to be late for your first day."
Now, normally this plane was very cheerful and eager to meet new people, but when it came down to, actually meeting them, he was a nervous wreck who instantly became shy. Nonetheless, he followed his father out the door.
Coming across a large bricked building was not how Max had imagined the building would look. It almost looked scary until they came inside. The inside looked like a hospital receptionist desk and a living room at the same time. Max instantly felt calmer at the sight. He looked around as his dad talked to the lady behind the counter.
"Alright, Max, come along." He said and Max followed him down a hallway.
"This must be it." The Cadillac spoke as they came up to a door. He knocked and Max stayed close by him.
A pearl white Infiniti with purple shades mixed in opened the door and her face brightened once she saw the Cadillac. "Oh, you must be Cooper." She smiled.
"Good morning, Miss. White." Cooper greeted. "We had that appointment for today."
"Ah, with, Max?" She looked beside Cooper's empty side.
Cooper looked beside him to see Max wasn't there. "Max?" He backed up to find Max had hidden himself behind Cooper. "It's alright, Max, don't be afraid." Cooper soothed.
"Hello, Max, It's very nice to finally meet you." The Q60 smiled. "My name is Madalynn. Madalynn White."
"Maddie?" Max asked, his voice cracking a little. His eyes widened.
"No, no no." Cooper quickly said. "She's not, Maddie, she's a different car."
"If you would like," Madalynn started, seeing the uneasiness in Max. "You can call me anything you'd like."
Max hesitated. "Miss. White?"
"You can call me Miss. White if you would like." She nodded. "Come in, come in. Make yourself familiar with the room and we can begin." She nodded to Cooper who nodded back.
"I'll be right around the corner if you need me, Max." Cooper said, giving him a small nuzzle. "Now go on, don't be shy." He nudged Max's tail into Madalynn's room and left back for the lobby.
"This is my room, Max." Madalynn said. "Take a look around before we begin. Go explore a little." She smiled before going behind a desk to gather things she needed. Max slowly looked around the room. It was very nice and cozy and warm. There was a bookshelf against the wall and a desk next to it where she was. There was a corner with a brightly colored rug with a long bed sitting near it. He looked at the books a little before looking back to Madalynn. He couldn't read the books anyways.
"Let's begin, shall we? Let me start off with introducing myself a little, then we can talk about you. Get to know each other a little." She led the way to the corner. "I'm Miss. White, and I have been a therapist for many years. I have helped many cars and planes of different types, and you are no different with your story. I will have no problem helping you cope with your past trauma." She smiled. "I love to watch sunsets and make new friends with many. I'm very social and protective. I have helped many with issues just like yours." She said. Max didn't know what it was, but her voice was so soothing and calm. "What about you, Max? Is there anything you'd like to tell me about yourself? Like, how old you are, what your favorite hobbies are, things like that?"
"I'm ten, and, recently I found out that I have Dwarfism. The, thing that makes me smaller than anyone else." Max started.
"Okay, nothing wrong with that, dear." She smiled. "And what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like to practice shooting with my sp- I mean, friends." He said. "I'm really good at getting bullseyes and can shoot while even moving around!"
"Wow, that is very impressive." She nodded. "Did Your father teach you?" She knew the type of answer she would get with this question. She wanted to know just how comfortable he was with talking about his past. She already knew he was leery around the name 'Maddie' however.
"Um.. he taught me a little bit. But I already had a lot of knowledge before I found him. My, ex-mother taught me how to use a gun."
"How was her teaching style? Did you like it or dislike it?"
"I, kinda didn't like it, it was forced, a little I think. She kept telling me I could do better and I tried to do better just for her. I thought I did okay, but, it wasn't enough."
"What did you think your ex-mother wanted to see? do you think she pushed you for fun, or did she want you to master the subject fully?"
"I don't know, I always thought, she knew I could do better, which is why I tried to do better."
"Would you consider yourself very loyal?"
"What does that mean?"
"Loyal means, in simpler terms, to be faithful to someone or something, that you would do anything for them and you would show support for them."
"I guess so. I do like to help my dad and friends in any way I can."
"Do you like to do any extra chores? Things, your dad or friends don't necessarily ask of you to do?"
"Yeah, sometimes. I like to see them happy."
Madalynn smiled. "You seem to be a very happy-go-lucky plane, Max. Tell me about, your childhood. Describe it in simple words. Such as, cheery, bright, exciting, or dark, lost, alone."
"Um, the last part." He looked down. "But, I also kinda felt cheery. When my ex-mother wasn't around."
"Does she make you feel scared?"
"Yes, a lot. I don't know why."
"I think I know why." Madalynn started. "She pushed you to do things you already excelled at. She took away your freedom to make friends, and she didn't care for you as a loving mother should. Well, that is what your father told me anyways. Let's talk about him though, Mr. Carr? What is he like?"
