A/N: Before people start yelling at me that Ivy was OOC, I'd like to say that I was just trying to get from point A to point B in that segment, and to do that she had to act ditzy. Besides, I provided an explanation. I apologize in advance for how short this chapter is, but I'm posting in bulk, so rejoice!

"Higher!! Push me higher!!!" the little girl squealed. Her blonde pigtails streaming behind her, she smiled in pure delight as she swung through the air.

Nearby, a somewhat bored-looking clown clad in black and red stood blowing up balloons for small children. Just across the crowded park a large mallet stood next to a strength tester. Parents ran after their excited children, enjoying the fair just as much as their little ones.

"Push me higher, Daddy!!" the little girl said again. This time the man behind pushing the swing heard her and reached out to grab the chain, jerking the swing to a sudden halt. "I've told you before, don't you ever call me that!!! Your 'daddy' ran out on you and your mother, he didn't want you. Now I pay your goddamned rent!! You call me by my name, or you call me 'Uncle', you got that?"

"Yes," the little girl whimpered as the man took her by the arm and dragged her away from the fairgrounds.
