Drabble thirteen: In which Lily tries to tell Cloud that Friday the 13th is just superstition.

Mature

Cloud was either a very paranoid child or he was just naturally drawn to such silly things. Honestly, Lily didn't know where he got it from.

"Cloud, I'm not going to work today." Lily declared as she saw the calendar just above her kitchen sink.

And as excited and happy Cloud was to here this, he wanted to know why.

"Why?"

"Because today's the day that hell created itself." Cloud couldn't help it.

He rose an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Today is the day where evil begins, where you do just one thing and everything falls in place with the devil's dirty deed."

Cloud stared.

"The day where you walk under ladders and they attack you, the day when a black cat crosses your path and it also attacks you, the day where you break a mirror and you will have shards in your fist, no matter what."

Cloud continued to stare.

"Cloud, today is the thirteenth of a Friday! A day of evil, and a day of...bad luck!" When his mother finally told him what the big deal was, Cloud just turned back to his coloring sheet and shrugged.

"I don't believe in 'luck'."

"OHO! But Cloud, why don't you break a mirror? I happen to have quite a spar, and then walk around the village, see what evil misfortune happens to you! Hohohoho!"

Cloud thought it best to just do what his mother wanted of him and leave. So be broke a small mirror, smirking slightly as there were no mirror shards near his hand and left the house.

When Cloud came home, he was clutching his mother's waist, very close to crying.

"Mom! You were right! This is a day of hell!"

"Whatever are you talking about Cloud? This day is just a silly day of superstition. To rile old men and scare little children." Cloud stared up at his mother horrified.

Really, Lily had NO idea who gave Cloud these ideas.

Drabble 13, end! Sorry, the idea came because this was my 13th drabble. Hehehe, I couldn't help it. I think Lily just might be bi-polar, but she's woman, so it's natural. Hahaa...Anyway, thanks to KDA, Wish-full Thinker (Sorry 'bout that), Cloud Tsumetai, Tolea (OH YES! KH2, BOOYA! And I shall try doing that next drabble), and Beeria.
