A/N: I adore family dynamics, and I was so shocked when Amy died. I kinda liked her, if only because she was still hopeful and innocent.


A Day in the Life

Title: Of Purple Elephants and Mermaids

Characters: Andrea, Amy

Pairings: None

Word Count: 161

Andrea was secretly very proud of herself. She had never been very good with her little sister's birthdays, but this time she was a thousand percent sure that she was golden. Amy would absolutely flip when she saw her gift! She had wanted it since the carnival came to town last summer, after all.

Why Amy was such a big fan of purple elephants, she would never know, but the point was that she would have Amy's favor for the rest of the year. Or so she thought. It came as such a shock when Amy saw the three foot tall purple elephant and simply pursed her lips as if she couldn't decide what to say… and not in a good way.

"What?" She couldn't help the tinge of desperation in her voice. Didn't she love purple elephants? As if she could read her mind, Amy looked at her with her big blue eyes and said apologetically, "I like mermaids now."


A/N: So, it's been a while... a long while. I blame school, and the fact that my laptop died and I hate writing in public spaces. But, now that I'm in summer vacation, I've decided to suck it up and write where I can since I have no "I have homework" excuse anymore.

Please review!
