Normal
When Maria was four, she had a rude awakening.
The other children made fun of her because of this.
But it wasn't as if she could help it.
There was no way to change the truth.
No amount of pleading or crying would help.
But in truth, she didn't really mind.
In fact, she was glad.
You see, her grandfather... was not a normal grandfather.
Apparently it wasn't normal for one's grandfather to dress eccentrically and have an entire entourage do the same. Complete with animals, props, and decorations.
She always thought it was fun to join in.
Everyday was like a different kind of pretend.
Until the day he came to her school clad in a toga, sandals, and laurel wreath. Her classmates asked why her grandfather was wearing a sheet. With weeds on his head.
Now Maria simply ignored her grandfather's dressing up with a learned level of tolerance.
But that didn't mean she didn't play the love simulation games with him anymore.
A/N: I couldn't remember how old Maria was when her mother died. I think 5. I wanted to have her realized her grandfather wasn't normal BEFORE that happened. And when I said she played the love simulation games with Lory, I mean the two of them would sit side by side and discuss the best options for the game. You know?
Also, I only have 2 more drabbles already written as of right now. So gimme some requests! In fact, one of the ready to be posted was a request. Next up is a bit of a silly Ren one.
