"Because you are the most beautiful to me."
It rings in my mind, rings in my heart.
All I can say is "Me? The most beautiful?"
He peers at me, saying, "Yes."
"How so?" I ask, rubbing my arm out of nervousness.
"Well, for one thing, I like long hair on a girl, and I like a girl who is a leader, not a follower."
I smile a little before it fades, saying, "That makes sense."
"I'm guessing you like a boy who is a leader too?"
I nod my head.
"It's about time I revealed something else to you," he says with a serious tone. "Do you remember that purple Powerpuff girl that you and your sisters created once?"
I nod my head.
"Well, I was once her as well. I've gotten destroyed twice, and my mother missed the ingredients together and made me." He adds, "Even though I'm a leader, I don't feel like I belong anywhere though, not even at home."
"Well...you belong with me," I say, quick to kiss him on the cheek.
He smiles more than any time before. And we kiss again, briefly this time.
When our lips part, we give each other happy looks. And in a moment, his smile fades away.
"It's about time I showed you my world, so we can stop the true evil people," he paused. "But first, I need to tell you a secret."
"What's that?" I ask.
"The man who almost destroyed you and your sisters and who made clones of you and your sisters is my father."
