A.N. I see no reviews, which is disappointing. Oh well, here's another chapter.
Disclaimer: Sadly, Tinkerbell does not belong to me...
Ten years later...
Life with a cuckoo-clock for a heart has been hard.
Every morning, I had to wind myself up, otherwise...I would fall into eternal sleep, never to wake again.
And when I got sick, life was even harder, for when I coughed, my cogs ached.
Mary, the only caretaker I have ever known is very overprotective of me, and kept me close to her in Tinker's Nook.
"I don't want to lose you," she always said.
Then, my best friend Clank arrived.
I decided I could trust him with my secret, and told him about my heart.
"Clankie, I have to tell you something..."
Clank turned to me, confused.
"Yes, Bobble?"
Until then, I had always kept my heart hidden under my clothes.
I took a deep breath.
"I bet you're wondering why I always have this bulk under my clothes."
"Really? I never noticed it..."
Typical Clank.
I sighed, trying to have patience with him.
"Point being, I have an abnormality, and since you're my best friend, I think I should tell you what it is."
"Of course Bobble, you can trust me!" said Clank, moving to give me a forceful pat on the back.
I moved away, saying "Of course, it means you're going to have to be careful with what you do to me, and you must PROMISE not to tell anyone."
Clank eagerly put his left hand up in an oath, (the WRONG one, no question!) and swore his loyalty to me.
I took another deep breath.
It was now or never.
"I have a cuckoo-clock for a heart..."
I closed my eyes, waiting for him to shun me.
Instead, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"May I see?" Clank asked.
I nodded, and unbuttoned my shirt just enough to make my heart visible.
Like a true tinker, Clank moved to examine it, so I quickly told him the Three Rules.
He understood, and backed off.
"I'm glad you told me, and I promise I'll never tell your secret to anyone. After all, you're my best friend!" and we gently embraced.
I zoomed out of my memory.
I was on a delivery cart with Clank.
Mary told me I could go on deliveries as long as I was EXTREMELY careful in not doing any damage to my clock.
And then I saw HER.
A.N. Ooh! Cliffhanger! Sorry guys! That's all I have for this chapter. Don't forget to read and review, and I'll see you soon! P.S. I'll update ASAP.
