Greetings everyone, this little poem for a continuation to the T'was poem has been sitting in my computer for a long while and recently I looked at it again. Like parts 1 and 2, I'm not sure if it makes sense, but I'll let you decide. I'm sharing this anyway, unedited and all, but one day I'll come back to fix this and make it proper. SO Belated Merry Christmas everyone, Happy New Years, and Happy Holidays! Tell me what you think, advice and critique are welcomed.

T'was Version 3 (Unedited)
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Some people were stirring all up and about.
The ornaments hung on the tree with great care,
And presents underneath for all those to share.
The professor was awake and not in his bed,
Making new inventions from ideas in his head.
While down in the basement Ai was awake,
Staring at the Antidote she had just made.
Earlier that day she had visited him,
To tell of good news of his suffering's end.
Kudo was happy and filled with glee,
His excitement comparable to honey and bees.
For Ai herself, her mind was not set,
On a decision between her joy or regret.
She ponders on thoughts and imagined some ways,
Her life would be changed the very next day.
Would she join in with Kudo and be an adult?
Or live life anew and bear new results?
The life she once had was not entirely sweet,
But the freedom of age still had its treats.
If she were an adult, she could help out in life
To provide for Hakase and avoid all the strife.
To be normal and free from the syndicate's reign,
To have life and love and no popping of veins.
Her soccer crush Higo would not seem so out of reach,
If she were an adult, then they could be a thing?
If she were truly Miyano Shiho once again,
Maybe those dreams could come true in the end.
She sighed a great sigh and arose to her feet,
To get her legs moving and put her mind at ease.
As she ascended up to the main floor,
She stared at the tree nearby Hakase's door.
This made her smile so sweetly and nice,
As memories of the detective boys filled up her mind.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, those three
Helped set up the tree to fill the home with glee.
Her mind traveled back to her memories as Ai,
The days with the Detective boys filling her life.
At first, she stayed away and kept a closed mind,
Not wanting to be close and invading their lives.
To keep them all safe and out of harm's way,
Since the organization could take their lives away.
But as time went on, her heart grew so soft
Her love grew deeper and care just as strong.
Ayumi, her sweet and loyal best friend
Was the first to show her friendship she never really had.
Genta, the silly and ever hungry boy
Was like a little brother that she knew she did enjoy.
Mitsuhiko, the smart and caring young lad,
His innocence was nice and made her quite glad.
Each memory so special, each memory so dear,
Those children will stay close in her heart so near.
How would life change if she left those three be?
Would they be alright or be moping under the tree?
She sat at the counter with her head in hand,
Sighing so deeply about her future plans.
It was then she was stared by Agasa behind,
Holding some hot cocoa with marshmallows inside.
He gave her the cup and she glared so deep,
But stopped and drank the contents clean.
He sat by her side, staying quiet and still
Until Ai spoke up and he listened real well.
"Should I be concerned about the calorie count,
This cocoa is fatty and won't be easily lost."
Instead of his usual nervous little laugh,
He smiled so kindly and patted her back.
"Ai-kun, I think one for the night is okay,
but I know there is something on your mind today.
I know the antidote is all complete,
And you have a tough decision that you have to make."
She paused at those words and gritted her teeth,
But then he continued ever so sweet.
"No matter the choice that you choose to make,
I will continue to care for you all just the same.
If you stay as a child, I will still be right here,
Even as an adult, you shall not have any fear.
I'll support you Ai-kun no matter what,
Cause you're like a daughter to me and I love you a lot."
She let out a breath she did not know she held,
And looked up at Agasa trying to find her words.
Her lips failed to move as tears rolled down her face,
For all her frustrations were let out in that way.
Agasa hugged her tight in a nice warm embrace,
And she cried and she cried hiding her face.
After awhile Ai had calmed down,
And expressed every fear and sadness around.
Agasa Hakase heard every plea,
And consoled her fears so ever sweetly.
Then talk they did more, and joy did they find
For the rest of the night, they had their sweet time.
They talked and they talked and laughed most of the night,
Until came the yawns and tired drooping eyes.
She yawned a heavy yawn, and spoke a last time,
"Thank you Agasa, for being in my life.
You were there for me then, and there for me still,
Merry Christmas Agasa, and thank you once again."
He laughed and he smiled at those comments she said,
He spoke "Merry Christmas Ai, you're welcome again."
As she drifted off into the land of dreams,
She felt at ease with everything.
She may not know what decision she will make,
But with Agasa's support, she knew she would be okay.
.
Note: Suppose to be about Ai's decision to either grow or relife (btw, the anime Relife is pretty cool! It's basically a possible future of APTX used right.)
