Vegetarian
Marina Ka-Fai asked for a oneshot of little Rosie being horrified that animals have to be killed to make meat and so wants to become a vegetarian. As to her, animals are to be cuddled, not cooked (even if some are quite tasty). I'm sorry, vegetarians and vegans, my love for gravy is too strong to commit to your cause. Haribo are pretty dang awesome too.
Emma tried not to make eye contact with her little sister as she held the bowl of beef stew, ready to give herself a serving. Rosie had recently found out at school that meat that we eat comes from real life animals. Horrified, Rosie had decided that she could no longer eat any meat products. She loved animals too much to eat them, even if some tasted really good (she really missed hot dogs). Snow and Charming supported her decision, it was her right to choose what she ate, after all. They just made sure she got enough iron in her diet through other means. Rosie still wasn't happy though. Her parents had made it clear that although she had become a vegetarian it didn't mean that anybody else in the family had to. It was just as much their right to continue to eat meat as it was hers to stop. Rosie claimed to accept this, but she was being sneaky. She was going to take each member of her family down one by one until they stopped eating meat. Her way of doing this? Guilt tripping. Every dinner (Emma and Henry still joined the rest of the family for dinner most nights since Emma's idea of nutritious was the fried onions in a burger) Rosie picked a target and gave them her sad eyes. Tonight, she had picked Emma.
Emma looked between the delicious beef stew her mom had prepared and the vegetarian casserole. It still looked tasty, but it had vegetables. Emma didn't do vegetables.
"Don't do this to me kid." Emma pleaded with her.
"Rosie." Charming warned her. "We discussed this."
"I haven't said a word." Rosie complained, continuing to look at Emma, clutching her stuffed cow under one arm. Emma continued to look between the two dishes before sighing and reluctantly putting down the stew and begrudgingly picking up the casserole. Rosie smiled, finally digging into her own dinner. Emma ignored the funny looks the rest of her family were giving her as she bravely nibbled a courgette.
"I'll need to have your sister guilt trip you more often if that's what it takes to put vegetables into your system." Snow commented. Emma just glowered. She was thinking she might get herself a cookbook.
