-Turn-

Even though she had been gone for most of the night; walking through the door at twelve-thirty that night, she didn't get any scolding or worry tones from her older sister or her meister.

They were sitting on the couch watching the end of some movie when she strolled in. They looked up at her questioningly, but their attention went back to the television screen. Patty stood there, leaning against the wall, watching the ending with them. As soon as the credits began to roll, the screen shut off with a quick "zap" noise.

Kid stood up first, stretching his arms and letting out a yawn.

"Hello Patty." He spoke, a warming smile across his lips. "What have you been up to? Did you just get home?"

"Um..yeah.." She mumbled back. "I decided to take a walk in the park."

"You should tell us before hand." Liz came up and rustled her little sister's hair. "We were beginning to worry."

"Beginning to..?" Patty thought. "I was gone for six hours..."

But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt

"Are you still up for shopping tomorrow?" She heard Liz's voice call, she was already down the hall, heading to her room. "Tomorrow is suppose to be beautiful, we should go for ice cream as well!"

"Huh?" Patty blinked, she didn't expect her sister to remember their shopping date, especially the way she'd been acting lately. She felt her usual, happy smile spread across her face. "Yes! Of course!"

"I'll wake you up at nine then." Her older sister answered. "Good night Patty."

"Good night big sis! Good night Kid!" Patty called down the hall.

"Night Patty." He smiled as he went into his room.

Patricia Thompson smiled and skipped happily to her room. She began to believe maybe it was a phase, that they were soon going back to their old ways, that it would be that trio again.

That's when she the grim realization came smashing into her mind. Liz's room was across from hers, but Liz was walking to the other side of the house. Where Kid's room was.

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handful of anger, held in my chest

Author's Notes

Wow, I didn't realize how many people would like this. Maybe it's the lack of fanfics about Patty on this site? Lol

Kind of a disclaimer; I love Patty. She is definitely one of my favorite characters. (Favorite characters in Order: Crona, Patty, Kid, & Excalibur.) I have a respect for her that I don't think many people have.

I hear a lot about people calling her dumb, but if you look at it correctly, she was raised on the streets, and going to the DWMA was the first time she was in school. I think she'll learn over time.

And anyways, she beat Black*Star and Death the Kid on the Ultra Test of whatever Epicness. So there.

She has artistic skill, gotta give her that.

I also see the happiness as a defense mechanism. (I got this idea from reading the manga.) She had a rough past, and it can't be easy living with Kid. Just saying.

Anyways :3 Thanks for reading!
