Felicia finished getting ready for school, and headed to her father's office to bid him goodbye.
She found him, hunched over his desk, and writing desperately.
"Daddy, I'm leaving." She told him softly; she knew that he wished that his unique writing ability had stayed, so that her mom would be back.
"'Bye." He muttered.
She grabbed her backpack, and stared at her father in silent sadness.
Her mother, Duck, had died several years back.
She walked to the large building that was her school, and wondered what her mother had thought about the school, or about seeing it for the first time. '
Felicia found her classroom, and rushed to change for the class.
She attended the ballet school that both of her parents had went to in their youth.
She nodded her head in greeting to her teacher, Pike.
Pike was also her 'aunt.'
She was one of her mom's close friends, and that had never changed.
Felicia's best friend ran in to class already dressed for the class like always Ariel had been late to school.
"Hey, Felly-chan. What are you thinking about?" Ariel whispered to Felicia.
"Just how much fun that we're about to have in class." She tried to sound as upbeat as possible.
"Liar. What are you really thinking about?" Ariel retorted.
"Remember Mom, and how she and Dad were so in love?" Felicia whispered to her friend.
"No? What about it?" Ariel answered in the form of a question.
"She and Daddy were so in love that I wanted to love someone like that, and for him to love me the same way." Felicia whispered.
"Why do you sound so sad about that?" Ariel questioned her friend.
"Mom died so young; I don't want to burden someone like that, or break his heart." Felicia answered.
"Don't be silly; love is amazing." Ariel retorted with a silly smile on her face.
Felicia laughed, but silently ignored her friend's advice.
