For Guest #2, who asked for more Unikitty! Wow, 2 chapters in a week, more or less! I AM ON A ROLL! Oh, and I decided I'll put it in alphabetical order, just because I really can't think of any other order. New order should be up before I finish this chappie.
(Does anyone else realize that the word 'alphabet' has 'alpha' and 'bet,' like- alpha and beta? Where's omega? :O)
"Mom, why can't I play with Dad's Lego?" Six year old Natalie asked, tugging at her mother's shirt as she chopped up some carrots. Scooping the carrots into a tub, Natalie and Finn's mother sighed, with a warm smile on her face.
"You know why, sweetie. Daddy adores his Lego." She then added, with a hint of amusement, "Or as he calls it, 'a highly complex interlocking brick system.'"
Natalie frowned, not quite understanding why her Daddy called it that. Honestly, it was called 'Lego.' She didn't quite yet understand what complex or interlocking meant anyway.
"Ooookay… But why? Can't I just play with one eensy weensy piece? A princess Lego would be cool." Natalie spoke up, rolling onto her back and kicking her legs absentmindedly through the air.
"It would." Natalie's mother agreed. She thought for a second. Natalie had seemed very bored lately, as a result of her quitting ballet. The other girls had made fun of her brother for talking to Legos, so Natalie had retaliated by doing a pirouette leg kick into the lead girl's face. Also, it wouldn't hurt to sneak down to the basement, as Will, her husband, was at work, and Finn was doodling in the sitting room.
"Well, maybe we can 'borrow' a couple of pieces." Natalie's mom winked at her. Natalie sat up immediately.
"Really mom?! Thank you thank you thank you!" She gushed, running quickly to the stairs, feet pattering across the polished wooden floor boards.
"Alright, let's go." She smiled, shaking her head. As Natalie ran to the edge of the stairs, her mother following behind, Finn poked his head from around the corner.
"Are you going to play with Dad's Lego?" He asked quietly.
"Mmhmm." His mom hummed. "We're getting a piece for Natalie to play with."
"Can I come?" Finn asked, excitement beginning to show up on his features.
"No." Natalie replied, sticking her tongue out at him.
"Yes, you can." Their mother chuckled. "But don't mess around with the main sets. Don't want your father getting mad, do we?"
"Sure thing." Finn replied, coming fully out from behind the wall, and crossing over to them. Together they walked down the stairs, Finn stopping to admire the main sets, and the two girls going over to the box of Lego scraps. Mostly Duplo from back when Finn was very little rested in there, collecting dust. But some Lego remained at the bottom, being smaller and having fallen down. The mom removed the Duplo, setting it off to one side.
"Let's see what we have here." Natalie's mom said, moving around the blocks. "So you wanted a princess, hmm?"
"Yeah yeah!" Natalie hopped up and down in excitement. "Can you make her pink?"
"Of course, sweetie." She paused, tapping a finger against her chin. "How about… a pink cat princess?"
"Ooh, yeah! Or a pink unicorn cat princess! With a blue horn and tail!" Natalie squealed. Her mother laughed happily.
"How about she's the princess of somewhere called… Cloud Cuckoo Land, somewhere up in the clouds above, oh, hmm, Middle Zealand?" By this point, Finn was listening. He took out his notebook that he had been doodling in and wrote this down. It sounded like a good addition to the story he'd written already, and planned to play out.
"And she's in love with a spaceman called Benny!" Natalie added, but then realized too late what she'd said.
"Isn't there a boy you like called Benny just down the street, Nattie?" Finn asked slyly.
"Don't call me that!" Natalie exclaimed, stomping one foot on the ground.
"And doesn't he love spaceships, or space or something like that?" Finn asked, adopting a serious expression and writing notes down in his notebook. He took in his sister's angry face, and put down next to 'weird cat unicorn thing,' 'weird angry cat unicorn thing.'"
"Now, now, you two, stop fighting. Finn, stop teasing your sister. Natalie, look! I finished her!" Natalie turned to look, and all anger drained from her face. Replacing it was an expression of profound joy. In front of her was a small lego character. She had a pink rectangle head, with pretty eyes and a large smile. Two ears and a blue horn poked up from the top of her head, while at the bottom, a yellow stud neck connected a pink arch body with yellow and blue paws and hooves, and she had a royal blue tail at the back.
"I love her! I'll call her Unikitty!" Natalie squealed, and ran up the stairs clutching her new toy.
Her mother started up the stairs, but then noticed Finn wasn't following. "Are you coming, Finn?"
He turned to look at her. "I will mom, I just want to stay here for a little bit. Please?" His mom sighed, smiling and rolling her eyes.
"Alright. But be careful." She exaggerated the last part.
"I will, I will. Thank you!"
"You're welcome sweetie. Be up for dinner, alright?" She called over her shoulder.
"Ok!" He replied, watching as she finally left into the hallway, and then to the kitchen.
He waited a few seconds, then started pulling out characters from all over the worlds.
Eventually, he ended up with a DJ, Batman, an old wizard, the President, an astronaut, a large robot pirate, a double faced cop, and, most important of all, an ordinary construction worker who he called Emmet.
Now all that was left was to sneak Unikitty out from his sister's room, and he could begin playing.
