Disclaimer: Own not Princess Tutu, Do I. (Take That Yoda!)
Description: Ahiru's life has always been someone else's toy, but what if she got to decide what happened to her?
Quote of the Day:
"I'll never love you.""I wouldn't want it if I had it.""Then by all means let us marry."
…
The next day The duck walked down the street pondering what she could use her wish for, (like she had done all day long.) Many people who saw her almost swore that, if they had not known better, she was deep in thought.
Being the silly duck that she was, Ahiru couldn't think of just one thing to wish for. However all of the possibilities that the duck was thinking of, we're helpful to others. It had not even crossed her mind to use the wish on herself, for what would a duck really do with a wish?
Baffled as to what to wish for, the Duck began to go home, (it was getting late and she didn't want to worry Fakir or miss Edle's return.) While Ahiru was thinking about Fakir, she couldn't help but think of his troubled looks as of late.
Suddenly is came to her, she could give her wish to Fakir! Ahiru was certain that Ms. Edle wouldn't oppose! That was what she would do!
Ahiru excitedly waddled home in a hurry, so she could be there when Edle came back.
…
…
Fakir sighed again.
He couldn't concentrate on his work.
It was getting dark and Ahiru still hadn't come home.
It figured that the duck was late; she had never been punctual as a girl…
…As a girl…
He new for a fact that he wanted her to become human again, but did she?
Once more, still, Fakir sighed.
He stayed awake as long as he could, but, being as human as he was, Fakir eventually fell asleep at his desk.
…
When Ahiru finally returned home, it was very late.
She found her knight sleeping at his desk.
…Her knight…
Ahiru didn't really know when she had started loving him, but if she tried she could remember the first time she recognized her feelings as love:
It was when they danced in the lake, it was the way he comforted her, the way he encouraged her.
Maybe…Did he lover her, too?
No, of coarse he didn't, not like that, how could a man be in love with a silly old duck?
The very thought of it was outrageous to her.
If only he loved her back…
Although Ahiru was tired of her love being unrequited, first Mytho & then Fakir, (it was getting ridiculous,) she wouldn't, no she couldn'tforce love her love upon him. (The thought of using the wish to do so hadn't even entered her mind.)
Either way she was giving her wish to Fakir, if anyone needed it, it was him.
Soon enough, Edle returned.
"Have you made your choice, Ahiru?"
"Yes, I have Ms. Edle."
"Then what is your wish?"
"Well…you see Ms. Edle, I'd like to give my wish to Fakir…Is that okay?"
Fairy-Edle smiled
"Of course, it's your wish. Where is the boy?"
"He's at his desk, Ms. Edle"
The fairy-puppet walked over to the desk, and woke the young man from his sleep.
"…Ahiru…" Fakir mumbled in his barely awake state.
"No, Fakir"
"E-edle? What are you doing here?"
"Do you remember the story you wrote for your princess"
"Yes, I get it, you're the fair-wait, my Princess?"
"Never mind that, Ahiru has opted to give you her wish."
"Ahiru? Why would you do that? I wrote the story so that you could decide your fate, so that you could decide, not me. I don't want to control you like Drosselmeyer"
Oh how Ahiru wanted to tell him that he wasn't like Drosselmeyer, How all she wanted was his happiness! But when she tried, all she could do was quack frantically.
Edle understood her however.
"Ahiru calm down, maybe you should use the wish on yourself"
Ahiru looked at the two others in the room confused. What would a duck wish for, she was just a duck.
…Just a duck…
That was it!
This wish could transform her from a helpless duck into a girl! Why didn't she think of it before?
"Ms. Edle I'd-I'd like to be a girl again."
"As you wish."
As soon as the puppet-turned-fairy, finished talking the duck began to glow and turned into a girl again.
Fakir's eyes opened wide and then quickly snapped shut his face red.
"I-I'm a girl again! Fakir, is something wrong?"
"A-ahiru you're-you're naked."
"Eep!"
The girl quickly went to hide behind Edle, the closest thing to her.
"Umm…Fakir, do you have any of my old clothes?"
"Y-yeah,"
"Uzura?" Fakir called to the doll in the other room, his eyes still slammed shut, "Could you bring Ahiru some of her clothes?"
"Yup-Yup-zura!"
Uzura quickly brought the clothes & Ahiru got dress.
"Who's that-zura?"
"She's Edle, the one I told you about."
"Uzura's Confused-zura. If Uzura was made from her, then how's Edle here-zura?"
"Magic" Ahiru replied
"Okie-Dokie-Zura"
"I should go now Ahiru, good-bye."
"Good-bye Ms. Edle, and thank you. Don't thank me, thank your night."
Both Ahiru and fakir flushed red.
"Buh-Bye Edle-zura! Uzura will miss you!"
"Good-bye, Edle"
"Good-bye, Fakir. T-take good care of her"
The girl and boy got even redder.
Edle disappeared into the night.
"Ahiru, are you in lovey-dovey-zura with Fakir?"
Ahiru's face was like a tomato when she looked at Fakir and then back at the doll.
"Y-yes, I am"
Fakir smiled
"Uzura, go to bed" Fakir commanded
"Kay-Kay-zura!"
With that she went to bed
"Ahiru, I love you, too."
When Fakir said those words, Ahiru was the happiest girl in the world…or so she thought.
Then he kissed her.
What a wonderful way to end a story…Or begin one.
