'Uh, that dream again. Why do I keep dreaming about that?'
10:09 AM
"It seems like such a long time ago. Sometimes I wonder if it even happened." Murrue said hugging her pillow tighter. Murrue looks at clock again.
'10:09 I should get up.' she stood up and walked towards the bathroom and undresed to take a quick shower.
'Why do I keep having that dream? I guess that in the end, I just can't let go huh? What a fool I am.'
Bang, Bang, Bang
"Mur! Come out!" said a little girl with long brown hair that reached her waist and was wearing a cute white sundress with a white hat on.
"Lily..." sighed Murue.
"Mur! Dont'cha wanna come out and play!"
"Lily, I'll be out in a minute or two."
"That long? But tha's gonna take for-eva!"
"Lily it's only a minute or two. I won't be long." Murrue said drying herself.
"But'a can't wait!"
"Lily, alright Lily. I'm out, what is it?" said Murrue coming out of the bathroom fully dressed.
"Let's play!" said the little girl jumping up and down excitedly.
"Tell me Lily, have you had breakfast yet?" Murrue said bending down to be at eye level with the little girl. Lily shook her head from side to side looking down at the floor. Murrue smiled and chuckled. Lily could be so cute sometimes.
"Well then, how about we go down to the kitchen and I make you some breakfast? Hmm?" Murrue said tilting her head sideways smiling. Lily noded almost as if she were ashamed of herself and followed Murrue down to the kitchen.
"Now tell me Lily, what would you like for breakfast?"
"Rui, do I have to eat now? I wanna go out and play!"
"I know Lily, but you have to eat first. Or do you want what happened last time to happen again?"
Lily shook her head no and answered with a simple, "I'm not hungry thank you." Murrue was annoyed and worried.
"Lily please, you know what might happen if you don't eat. Do you really want to faint in front of all of your friends again?"
At this, Lily looked at Murrue suddenly, anger written all over her face and said, "They're not my friends!"
"Lily..." she looked worriedly at the little girl.
"They don' care 'bout me! They only care 'bout my toys! They don't even like me! And you know what! I don' like 'em 'ither!" Lily yelled with tears in her eyes and sniffling.
At this sudden outburst, Murrue looked at Lily then at the eggs she had pulled out to make some pancakes, then back at Lily. She was sniffling and trying to hold in the tears that were running down her face.
"Oh, Lily, what am I going to do with you? Alright, how about we go to the amusement park today? What do you think?"
At this Lily looked up at Murrue with hope in her eyes and said, "You mean Fairy Park!"
"Yes."
"Yay! I wanna go!"
"Good, now come here so I can wash your face." she said grabbing a clean rag to wipe Lily's face with. Lily walked over to Murrue wiping her tears away with her arm. Murrue bendt down and wiped the little girls face clean. Lily giggled a little causing Murrue to gigles a little too.
Ding Dong
"Now who could that be?" Murrue said walking towards the door and opened it.
"Hey, Murrue."
"Uncle Andy!" Lily yelled happily running towards him.
"Lily!" Andy said bending down with his arms wide open for Lily to jump into. Lily jumped into his arms happily, the only sign that she had been crying a few moments ago her red nose and the fact that her face was a little pink. "How have you been? What's this? Why's your face all pink?" Andy said standing up with Lily in his arms.
"It's nothing. I was just drinking water and didn' take time ta breath and I kinda choked a lil'."
"Andy, what are you doing here?" Murrue asked smiling. She was happy now that Lily seemed to have calmed down and was smiling again.
"Just came by to wish this Lil' Lady a Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday Lily." he said giving her a white lily. "And that's not all."
"You mean there's more?"
"Lots more. Todays going to be a day filled with fun and surprises."
"I can't wait!" Lily was ecstatic.
"I see you have everything planned out Andrew. Would've been nice if you'd given me a warning though." said Murrue smiling.
"Oh, yeah, about that. I tried calling you last night but you wouldn't pick up. And I've been so busy this past week with work and all."
"I see."
"You didn't have plans already made did you?"
"Well, nothing big. I was just thinking about taking her to Fairy Park and when we got back home I'd give her her present."
"Present!" Lily said excitedly.
"What a coincidence. I was also planning on taking her to Fairy Park."
"Why don't you come in for something to eat Andrew? It looks like you haven't eaten yet. Maybe you could make me some of your famouse coffee?"
"Sure, it'd be my pleasure."
"I wanna go now! Please, please, please! Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Lily said giving him her best puppy dog eyes yet.
"Wellll..." Andrew wasn't sure what to do. Murrue just laughed.
"Oh, Lily. Alright then."
"Yay!"
"Ok, well come on Ladies. My cars parked up front." he said putting Lily down. Lily ran ahead to the car. "Remember to buckle up!"
"Andrew, have you found her parents yet?"
"Yeah, but your not going to like it."
"Her parents died in a car accident. Alcohol and cars don't mix too well."
"Poor Lily, what'll happen to her now?"
"They'll probably put her in an orphanage. They still haven't located any living relatives."
"Andrew, do you think they'll let me keep her?"
"Well, yeah, until they find a living relative, and if they don't I'm sure they won't mind if you keep her."
"Thank you Andrew. You've been of so much help."
"It's no big deal. Besides, Lily's so cute, I can't help but help her."
"Uncle Andy! Rui! Hurry up!" Lily yelled with her head out the window from inside Andy's car.
"We're coming." Andy said chuckling.
Fairy Park
"Wow! This is so cool!" Lily said excitedly ontop of Andy's shoulders.
"I'm gald you're having fun." Andy said while trying to buying tickets to go on the rides with one hand and holding onto Lily's foot with the other.
"Haha, Andy let me buy the tickets. We wouldn't want you to drop Lily on her birthday now would we?" Murrue said still laughing.
"That would be very much apreciated."
Murrue bought the tickets and they walked towards the bumper cars because it was the one Lily wanted to go on.
"Here's your ticket Lily."
"Mur I want'cha to come with me. Come on it'll be fun!" she said Dragging Murrue with her. Murrue sat in a purple bumper car and Lily in a yellow one. After a few minute of everybody bumping into each other, Murrue bumped into one of the last people she would have expected to see there.
"Murrue!"
"Natarle!"
"What are you doing here!" they said in unison.
"This is one of the last places I'd expect to bump into you Natarle. Are you on a date with someone?"
"No! I'm just here, to er-"
Just then a giggling Lily crashed into Natarle. Natarle had to bite her tongue to keep herself from swearing, knowing full well that there were alot of little kids around. She'd been caught off guard big time. The ride was over and she tried getting away from Murrue but crashed into Andy.
"Oh, sorry." Andy said still not realising who had bumped into him.
"Oh, that's alright- Andrew Bartfeldt!" 'Just my luck!'
"Natarle Badgriel?"
"Natarle, wait up! You ran off so quick I almost didn't have time to catch up." Murrue said holding Lily's hand the both of them catching they're breath. "I see you found Andy."
"Well, hello. I haven't seen you guys in a while." Natarle said a little nervouse knowing there was nowhere to run. 'Wait a sec! Are they here together? Is that they're kid!'
"What's wrong lady? Are you ok?" asked Lily.
"I'm fine."
"Lily this is Natarle Badgriel. Natarle this is Lily." said Andy introducing them.
"Hello Aunty Natty!"
"Hello. Is she yours?" Natarle said looking at both Murrue and Andy. Andy and Murrue's faces both got considerably red.
"Wha!" they both said in unison.
"Yup, I'm Mur's, and Uncle Andy always says I'm his lil' princess!" Lily said not quite understanding what 'Aunty Natty' meant.
'That's weird. She calls her Father 'Uncle' and her Mother 'Mur' instead of Mom and Dad? Maybe that's the style these days?'
"No, Natarle, it's not like that. What she means is-"
"Oh, Natty!" a man said in a sing song voice.
'Oh, no! Not now! My luck sucks. And I'm rhyming now to make things worse!'
"There you are!" he said jumping out from behind Natarle and hugging her from behind.
That's all for know folks!
Yup! That's all I can bear to write for now. This isn't at all how I expected things to happen. it just kinda happened as i wrote. Anyway, I know it's a little boring but I need you guys to understand how much she enjoyed her normal life.
