"I'm sure we'll be fine, Aunty Magenta..." LP smiled at her. "When was the last time anything bad happened to me with going out?" LP noticed a sinister smirk on Magenta's face as she asked that question. "Don't answer that."
Miracle looked between her mother and friend. She gave a small shrug and then smiled slightly. "So do you vant to go for a valk LP?" she asks her.
Magenta went to LP's closet to pick out a nice coat, planning to let LP pick out an outfit. She then lay the coat on the bed, incase they were going to go.
"Okay." LP smiled back, putting on her coat and zipping it up. "I'm sure you know more about Denton than I do, I can barely go outside and all."
Magenta went to find Miracle a coat. She would ask Riff if maybe miracle could borrow one of his as her's wouldn't be warm enough.
Miracle smiled at LP "It's a little boring, but it has a good TV station" she says. She then ran her fingers through her hair to neaten it.
"What's a TV?" LP was confused.
Riff came in with a spare black jacket and just dumped it in Miracle's hands, wordlessly and went back out the room.
Miracle looked at the coat and then the door. "Thank you... Father" she calls out truly touched at the kind motion. She carefully put the coat on and though it was a bit big it was warm and it looked ok. "A TV is a small box that has moving pictures on it with sound, two people could be seen even if they aren't in the area and heard too..." she explains.
Magenta heard the call and smiled sweetly at Riff Raff.
"You mean like a monitor? We got those here, I can see everything that happens in the castle." LP misunderstood.
Miracle smiled and giggled "Not quite" she says. "On TV the programme has been pre-recorded before it is shown" she adds to the explanation. She then fastened the coat up and smiled "i can show you if you vant vhile ve are out" she says.
"Okay!" LP's eyes lit up as she rushed to the door, eager to hang out with Miracle. She never had a real friend before and she grew very attached to Miracle. It was like some sort of destiny and they were made to be each other's friends. "Daddy, Miracle and I are going out!"
"Make sure you have something warm!" Frank called back out.
"We'll be fine!" LP opened the door and went outside with Miracle.
"Better be..." Frank growled, looking down from the stairwell. "I swear, if anything happens to my baby I'll make sure those Vitus scumbags are rid of their wretched child."
"Frank, I wish you wouldn't treat my sister and I in such a way," Riff crossed his arms. "I've known you since Day Care back on Transsexual."
"I can do whatever I want, I'm soon to be King of our mighty planet in the lovely moon drenched shores... Then my daughter will take over... Whether she wants to or not... She WILL get over her fear of crowds and public speaking." Frank grinned, so sure of his family's future.
Miracle linked arms with LP as they walked down the driveway. She had seen a few groups of girls do that at school and always wanted to try it. After all the groups were made up of friends. "So vhen ve get into town, i'll show you the TV shop and then ve can visit the TV station" she says. She wanted to show LP these things first as they were the best things in Denton.
Magenta had gone to do a bit of dusting so Frank wouldn't have a go at her.
"Tee Vee..." LP said to herself. "That's a strange name."
Miracle smiled "it's short for Television" she tells her. Soon the girls were in the town and Miracle then led her to an electronics shop. It had a window full of small boxes with what Miracle had described on them. "This is a TV" she says quietly.
"Ooooohh..." LP looked with awe as she stepped forward and pressed her face against the screen.
While the girls were there, some girls Miracle went to school with. One of them specifically being Sapphire Hapschatt. Although Sapphire and Miracle's foster parents were close friends, Sapphire didn't particularly like Miracle because of how different and "inhuman" she was.
"What're you doing now, Miracle?" Sapphire wrinkled her nose at the blonde girl.
Miracle stiffened, she had once tried to be friends with Sapphire but had been rejected because Sapphire thought she was different. She turned to look at her with a stiff smile "I am showing my friend Denton" she says, her voice coloured with forced politeness.
A couple of the other girls were looking over Miracle and LP with obvious distaste at how they were dressed. LP looked more normal but they still didn't like it as they themselves prefered nicer looking things.
"You have a friend?" Sapphire snorted. "How unusual for you... You must've made her in a science lab, that explains her clothes..."
"Please leave my friend alone..." LP said in a too quiet voice.
"What's that? Speak up church mouse, what're you gonna do anyway?" Sapphire shoved LP down hard on the sidewalk.
LP was very fragile and felt a stinging pain as she fell on her elbow. LP didn't reply, she just curled herself up in a ball and began to cry, hoping the mean people would go away and leave her alone.
Miracle narrowed her eyes and glared at Sapphire. "You didn't just do that" she growls. "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND!" she yells, her voice sounding like Riff's when she shouted except for the accent. She clenched her fists and used one to punch Sapphire in the face.
One of the other girls, the one who often beat people up, walked forwards to defend Sapphire. She pulled a fist back and punched Miracle. After that she went to kick LP. Miracle saw red at this and ignoring the throbbing of her nose got up and stopped the kick. She then punched the girl, her rage making her stronger as well as the girl, not expecting to be hit back, fell and looking shocked got up and ran away. Most of the other girls ran too. Except one who was actually nicer than the others.
She handed LP a handkerchief "Here this should help clean your elbow, will you tell Miracle I'm sorry that Sapphire hurt you, and I'm sorry to you too" she whispers before following the other girls.
"It's okay... I deserve it... I'm spineless and gutless..." LP shakily stood up, rubbing the injury and wiping the bruise clean. "Thank you Miracle... I should reward you since you serve my father and myself..."
Miracle wiped her nose with the back of her hand. "No need LP, i'd do anything for a friend" she mutters, angry at Sapphire. She turned to face LP and gave a small smile. "Let's go to the TV station now" she says softly.
"Okay..." LP smiled and gratefully followed Miracle to the mysterious wonders of a television station.
"My hair!" Angel, one of Sapphire's minions cried as she saw it was frizzy and a mess due to Miracle's roughness.
"WAAAH!" Sapphire whined as she was in defeat.
The final girl, Rubella, just stood like nothing happened, but she had bruises on her face, hands and rips on her shirt. Also one of her pigtails were lose.
Miracle linked arms with LP. She led her to the TV station. She saw a security guard and bit her lip, she hadn't been there without Janet before. And she wasn't sure if he recognised her.
The security guard came over to the two girls. He looked at Miracle and sighed. "What happened to you?" he asks. He motioned for the girls to follow him though.
Miracle winced as she pinched her nose to stop the bleeding. She followed him with LP. "Defending my friend from some bullies" she tells him. "This is my friend LP" she says.
"H-Hello..." LP gave a weak wave and hid behind Miracle, anxiously as if she were a living shield.
