Imaginary friends always know a soon as it begins.
It's a connection thing, with the brain or something; the creator made the imaginary friend, and so the imaginary friend is somewhat a part of the creator, so they're- ah, screw it. It's too hard to explain.
That's why Sniffles the Cat knew as soon as Patricia and Eddie said their first words to each other.
She's been there since she was created, Sniffles the Cat has. When Patricia was merely 3 and her parents refused to buy her a real cat. And, even when she was deemed childish and long forgotten years ago, she's always been there, following Patricia around, always being there.
Sniffles the Cat has to admit, they are quite cute together. She notices how easily agitated Patricia is around the boy (who Sniffles the Cat was disappointed to find out was named Eddie- quite the anti-climatic name, if you ask her) and was excited to see that her creator has finally found someone to love, even though she's been against it since she was little.
And so she tries her best to make little pushes, to be remembered again, as she has been doing since she was forgotten, but to no avail. Patricia and the boy's relationship actually had nothing to do with Sniffles the Cat, unlike their housemates. And that greatly disappoints Sniffles the Cat, but tries to accept; at least it happens.
She remembers the time she adapted a swearing problem, when Patricia said, "I'm never falling in love, God dammit!" in front of her parents, and, when they asked where she learned such language, she pushed the blame onto Sniffles the Cat's shoulders. She also referred to that night as "the Night of Truths", when she also believed that Patricia would, in fact, never fall in love.
"Never fall in love," Sniffles the Cat whispers as she curls up underneath the chair of Alfie Lewis at a wedding; the wedding.
It was then where she was glad her creator was growing up for the first time.
A/N: I'm not so sure about this chapter. I like it, but I'm afraid it's missing something. I think its that the ending's weak, but oh well. This chapter goes out to Sara, because she helped me with it! Love you, girl.
