Felt like writing this. (: This one's a little angsty.

And before I let you guys read, let me take a few extra minutes of your time and shamefully advertise this new forum I made today. It's mostly like a chatterbox for the TDI fandom of the site, and I'd love if you guys join in. Link's on my profile.

Okay, again, a little long for a drabble, but not by much. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own TDI.


Lindsay knew she'd seen Eva somewhere else before. Yet she couldn't place her finger on 'how'.

As she took a second glance, she noticed that although everything seemed different, that look in her eyes remained the same. Hurt. Anger.

Oh, yes. She remembered it clearly now, ten years ago, that one day at the park…


..when she decided she'd rather go swing instead of play on the teeter-totter.

Mira, the servant girl, insisted she play on the teeter-totter, where she could best watch over her while she sat by the bench. A few minutes later, she fell asleep. Lindsay was grateful.

She jumped onto one of the swings, and did what she liked best. She liked seeing how close she could get to the clouds when she swung higher, and the feeling of wind between her hair. It was right then when she was so caught up in everything when she noticed the person occupying Swing 2 was crying.

Lindsay slowed down and planted her feet firmly onto the sand.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"But it can't be 'nothing'."

"I don't wanna say."

With a sigh, Lindsay dug out the leftover gummy worms she'd saved for later from her pocket and held them out. A peace offering. "You can trust me."

The other girl took them and cried harder and threw them on the ground.

Lindsay watched as they fell to the dirt.

"My daddy left. Mommy said he's never coming back."

She thought for a bit, she could not imagine life without her daddy. Her daddy had money. Her daddy bought her toys. Her daddy loved her a lot.

"I'm sorry." Lindsay grabbed hold of the other girl's hand.

And they stayed that way for awhile, swinging a little.


I still don't know how I came up with this, but lately I've felt like writing sadder things. Not like I'm depressed or something, lol. R&R, guys! :D
