A/N: Here's another chapter about Snow White and Fiona meeting. I'm going to put a few things that are based on me and what I was doing growing up, along with a few other things. I have a Learning Disability that makes my Processing Skills slower than "Normal" people, but that's a good thing, if anyone's wondering. I'll explain later. It's hard for me to explain. The other chapters will go into further detail as I continue and show you people the things I like along with what I like to listen to.
And for what Pricat said, I'm responding like this: Ya, damn right! Being different is a good thing! I was just thinking about that a few days ago about how boring life would if we were all the same. Life is an adventure!
Anyway, enjoy!
It had been four years since Fiona was diagnosed with Autism. The doctor told Lillian that Fiona's condition isn't that severe, but Fiona does need some special care and attention for a while. Lillian understood because Fiona's age and still learning at her own pace while Harold wasn't at the very least bit pleased about it.
All Lillian did was ignore what Harold was arguing towards her about. She could tell Fiona has made a lot of progress from when she was younger; especially after making Fiona attend FFA Special Center because of her speech and communication skills. Lillian was happy Fiona was learning even if it's a slow pace than most kids her age.
Fiona, age seven, was silently walking through the castle of Far, Far Away who was wearing a white shirt with dark green jeaned shorts, and no shoes. She heard the sound of someone yelling and punches being blown towards something as it made the young red-head curious and follow the source of the sound. Fiona looked out her balcony and saw her mother kicking towards her instructor who was blocking Lillian's attacks.
"That's good, Lillian. Now, let's see about your head-butting abilities."
"Alright, Master Wo," Lillian said bowing as Wo began to throw items towards the blonde Queen who reflected/destroyed them with her head.
Fiona was watching this who, for some reason, couldn't keep her eyes off of what her mother was fighting, blocking, and dodging against the attacks. So, instead of playing by herself in her room, Fiona just sat on her balcony and watched her mother practice different types of Martial Arts. As the days passed, what Fiona was doing was a normal routine for her to watch her mother practice her techniques between the hours of three and five o' clock. That, and watching different types of Martial Arts movies and shows that are in real life, along with anime shows that have any kind of Martial Arts.
After two months of that, Fiona was under a tree staring at the trunk of it while thinking of what her mother was doing in practice with her instructor. Fiona was moving side to side, holding her hands together while seeing the images of kicks and punches thrown in her head. Fiona continued to do nothing infront of the tree until she head-butted the trunk of the tree. She did it again, and again, and again for the past hour. For some reason, she had the sudden desire to do that towards the trunk of the tree. She tried to stop herself, but she couldn't. Fiona was mesmerized from what she saw and just had to do it herself. Fiona then decided to use her legs towards the tree since the ogress got bored of numerously head-butting the trunk.
While that was occurring for Fiona, a young girl with shirt black hair that was in two pigtails and blue eyes, and wearing a dark red dress was watching Fiona kicking and head-butting the trunk. The seven year old girl with pigtails' name is Snow White. She just moved to Far, Far Away two weeks ago. She would always see other kids from her school stay away from Fiona for a number of reasons.
The first reason is Fiona is human by day and ogress by night. The second reason is Fiona has a disorder that doesn't make her very friendly to talk to or hang out with.
Snow White, however, didn't think of Fiona being weird or a freak at all. They just made Fiona interesting to get to know from Snow's point of view. The blue-eyed girl was about to jump over the fence to talk to Fiona who was still kicking and head-butting the tree until she heard someone yell Fiona's name in worry. Snow watched at Lillian ran to where Fiona was and pulled the little red-head away from the tree.
"Fiona, what are you thinking? You can't just kick a tree like that," The Queen told Fiona as Lillian saw Fiona's forehead was bruised with blood running down from the wound, down to her chin. Fiona's shins were also bruised and scraped up from kicking as Lillian sighed at this. "Come on. Let's get your wounds cleaned up."
Snow continued to watch as Lillian takes Fiona's hand and walk inside the castle.
"I guess I'll try and talk to her later," Snow White said aloud walking back home.
"You can't just kick a tree like that without any patting. Especially for someone your age. You might break something," Lillian told her daughter rubbing ointment on Fiona's legs, "What made you do something like that, anyway?"
Fiona was fiddling with Lillian's crown and stairing at the material. The young seven year old didn't reply to her mom's question for a while before she decided to answer when Lillian was bandaging up Fiona's left leg. "You."
"Huh?" Lillian didn't understand what Fiona was talking about until it dawned on her, "Do you mean from watching me?" Fiona didn't make eye contact with her mom or said anything else as Lillian was now finished bandaging Fiona's right leg. Sighing, the Queen wipes away the blood from Fiona's forehead. "Don't do something like that again, okay, Fiona? I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Fiona was concentrating on Lillian's gold and diamond-incrested crown, running her fingers over the cold brim. Lillian knows about how Fiona is when the red-head is like that as Lillian ran a hand through Fiona's spiky red hair and smiled. Lillian knows things will get better for Fiona. Things already have for the young princess despite her lack of interacting with other kids, concentrating, and making eye contact with Lillian or Harold, but Lillian's not making a big deal about it.
Fiona is still a child learning as much as she can understand. Harold still thinks Lillian is wasting her time with Fiona, but as long as Fiona is getting what her teachers are telling the young ogress/human, that's all that mattered to the Queen.
After that incident with the tree, along with seeing Fiona do it again two weeks later, Lillian decides to put protective padding around the tree trunk so Fiona couldn't hurt herself and kick as much as she wants.
One day, after Snow's school called Duloc Elementary School, she saw Fiona walking back home by herself. Fiona was fiddling with a pen attached to something flexible in her hands while muttering something as Snow White took this as an opportunity to walk up beside Fiona and talk to her.
"...Uh, hey," Snow White said to Fiona who was still walking home, "My name's Snow White. I just moved here four weeks ago. Your name's Fiona, right?"
"...Yeah, I'm Fiona," Fiona said stopping in her tracks and turning to see where Snow White was, "Nice to meet you."
"Yeah, same here," Snow White said as the two continued to walk to Fiona's home, "You mind if I walk home with you? I always see you walk by yourself and thought you could use some company."
"Okay," Fiona said as Snow smiled at this.
"Cool."
"Yeah."
"...So, a while ago, I saw you had your hair in a poneytail. Why did you cut it?"
"I didn't like how it was touching my back."
"That make sense," Snow White replied.
"That make sense," Fiona echoed smiling.
"I like how you cut your hair like a boys', though. Makes you look cooler."
That, in return, made Fiona smile and jump up and down for a few seconds. Snow White saw this and lightly laughed at the red-head's joy and excitement.
"So, what do you do for fun?" Snow wondered.
"I watch Martial Arts movies and shows on TV," Fiona said, "I also watch my mom practice Martial Arts."
"Your mom knows Martial Arts?"
"Yes. Seven types of them," Fiona said as Snow White was amazed at that.
"Wow! That's awesome!"
"Yeah, I only know TaeKwonDo and Mauy Thai," Fiona shrugs opening the front door of the castle. "Mom! I'm back from school!"
Snow White sees Lillian walk down the stairs. "Hello, dear. Welcome back. Oh, who are you?"
"My name's Snow White. Nice to meet you," Snow White introduced herself.
"Oh, nice to meet you, too," Lillian said shaking Snow's hand, "I'm just wondering why were you following Fiona?"
"Oh, I just wanted to say 'hi' to Fiona since I always see her walking by herself. Plus, I moved here four weeks ago."
"Oh. Well, that was nice of you to do that for my daughter."
"Don't mention it. I'll see you around Fiona, okay?"
"Okay... Yeah," Fiona muttered looking at the floor shyly as Snow Whited walked out of the castle.
Lillian smiled and walked up to her daughter and placed a hand on Fiona's head. "I think she likes you, Fiona."
"Likes me, likes me," Fiona murmured.
"Yeah. Maybe she'll be your first friend if you let her," Lillian added.
"My first friend... My first friend..." Fiona never really thought about friends. She didn't really knew how to make friends.
"All you have to do is be yourself. When you do that, things will go well for you," Lillian said looking down at Fiona, "Do you understand, my dear?"
Fiona nods her head before going to her training tree.
A/N: The parts that are true are when I went to a Special Ed School from preschool up to second grade because of my Learning Disability. I also went there for Speech and Communication Therapy, but the odd thing is that I spoke fine for as long as I can remember. Even in High School, they said the same thing in the documentation I found in my room a week ago. I even asked David and he agreed.
Then again, I was really quiet and didn't want to talk to anyone because I was really shy and didn't know what to say when I met someone.
The other part that's true is growing up, I really didn't know how to make friends because at the same time as a kid, I wasn't interested in making any friends, and I didn't know how to make and friends. Most of the friends I have now came to me, I didn't go to them. Well, except for one, but that was it. I was mostly interesting in the Final Fantasy games my mom bought, and played, along with the first Shrek movie my dad bought and the anime shows I grew up every Weekend.
Well, I gotta go. 'Til next chapter!
