Pollyanna felt a hard punch on her shoulder.
"You're pretty mature for a little kid." Pollyanna smiled and rubbed her shoulder. She knew now that Hinawa was… gone,she's been really motherly to Lucas. "So.. I think there's a cinema around here."
"What's a cinema?" She asked. "Guessing you don't know what a movie is either?"
The 13 year old shook her head. "C'mon I'll take you. My treat." Why wouldn't it be her treat? She barely understood what money was! They rode the escalator.
Pollyanna was fascinated. They were stairs that moved instead of climbing them normally. "Woah.." She said when she stepped off. "So much new stuff huh?" The kid nodded. "How much can change in 3 years?"
She had to slightly raise her voice due to the people talking so loud. "About this much." She waved her coat-clad arms and gestured towards everything. They walked into the cinema and both thought the movie. Earthbound:The rise of the Pig King. was a suitable choice. They bought a medium sized popcorn and Pollyanna got glares that said "That girl's an idiot" when she marveled at the Popcorn machine. It wasn't like popping it over a fire. She loves popcorn though. Those glares stopped when Kumatora shot everyone a death glare and took Pollyanna's hand. The movie began. It was Pollyanna's Parent's adventure!
Don't watch our adventure. Don't you have something to ask her?
"Um Kuma?"
"Hmm?"
"Can i ask you for some advice?"
"What for? Your a solid fighter."
"Not about fighting."
"Spill.."
She took a deep breath.
"Let's say… I had to tell something very heavy and heartbreaking to someone very sweet and innocent.."
"Lucas?"
She nodded.
"What do you have to tell him? If you can't. I could."
"No no. I have to do this. No offense but you can be.. blunt."
She shrugged "Eh..That's fair."
"How would I tell him? I can't stand a melancholy Lucas. It's so unnatural."
"How bad is it?"
"It involves our family being torn apart."
She winces. "Yeah…"
Kumatora shifts in her seat and thinks. She's coming to me for emotional advice? Um. Maybe something so crappy it just might work. Lucas is a very- wait i'm not saying this. SAY IT DARN IT!
"Lucas is a very sensitive boy. I recommend slowing him down and telling him gently."
That seemed to brighten the child's attitude. "You wanna go mess with the boys?"
Pollyanna giggles and nods. The snarf the rest of the popcorn down and think out loud.
"If i was a quiet boy/man where would I go in a place this big?"
They exchange knowing glances. " Arcade." They ride another escalator and go to the arcade.
Sure enough, two boys that compared in personalty were not playing games but only talking. They began to listen in. "Then He threw a water balloon at her and she said 'This means war!' in the end we were all wet and couldn't go inside."
Pollyanna held back a snort. Lucas was telling Duster about the time The trio had a giant water fight one summer and were locked outside due to being so soaked.
Duster laughed and looked behind Lucas. He saw two tufts of oddly colored hair that went unnoticed by their owners. He tapped Lucas and silently said to turn around.
He saw the hair too. The two guys who doubled in age from one another began to sneak towards the hair and scare them. Lucas tackled Pollyanna into a hug and Duster didn't scare Kumatora.
She scared him by giving him a look that said"Go-ahead-and-try-buck." The two giggling children were in hysterics. Pollyanna was tickling Lucas and Lucas was squeezing her tight while shrieking in delight. "Alright Alright. Calm down!" Duster said, laughing as the two sat criss-crossed "How do you two get along so well?"
"We listen to each other. And never leave one hanging."
Pollyanna forced a smile. What if he felt betrayed that I didn't tell him sooner? What if he hates me?!
Calm down. He wouldn't hate you. He loves you too much to hate you.
And plus I don't think that child capable to hate his family.
He sees me as a Big sister. I see him as a little brother. I hate that this is so hard!
Nothing in life is easy. Everything has some grueling difficulty.
"Lucas… I have something i have to say."
Before she could continue the chauffeur comes back and says.
"Time to go see King Porky."
Lucas looks at man and then back to Pollyanna."Can it wait?."
She wants to say No. But she can't say no to that tone. "Yeah. I'll tell you later."
Great timing freaking chauffeur dude i don't think has a name! Will she be able to spill?
