Nine Year Old Pipe Dreams

[lil_tanuki]

Dear diary, I had such a fun dream last night! I dreamed I was a magical girl, one who could soar through the air and save the world from danger!

It was really something! I think I'd call myself "Magical Girl Hayate-chan!"

I'm doing better too, my legs aren't so bad today, and I can actually feel my toes better! The doctor got a little mad at me for going outside last time but she was okay with me playing around a little.

I saw a lot of people on the network are close to Christmas. I wonder if I should have my own Christmas in July! I'd have to dig out decorations though...

Oh, well...

...sure! I don't mind at all!

[lil_tanuki]

Can I have a necklace? I don't wear bracelets that much because I'm often cooking and cleaning.

[lil_tanuki]

Yay thank you so much Tsubomi-oneechan!

[bag_has_snapped]

Just let me know when you're ready so I can be all set, okay?

[shiningwaters]

All right. Crystals hold magic better, so a crystal pendant should work fine. What color would you like?

[lil_tanuki]

I'll be ready in a bit if you want to do this soon!

[lil_tanuki]

Hmm... most magical girls have pink but maybe a white crystal?

[bag_has_snapped]

Okay! When you're ready!

[lil_tanuki]

Okay, come on over!

[shiningwaters]

Okay, that should work well. Maybe some form of quartz.

[lil_tanuki]

Ooh that sounds good! Okay then!

[bag_has_snapped]

Okay! Um... how do I...?

[It takes Tsubomi a bit, but she finally makes her way to Hayate's world... nearly falling on her face as she does.]

Whoop!

[lil_tanuki]

Are you okay oneechan? [That was quite a faceplant.]

[bag_has_snapped]

I-I'll be fine... [She looks up at Hayate, grinning sheepishly as she does.]

[lil_tanuki]

[Hayate couldn't help but giggle as she shook her head.] That was pretty neat though the way you arrived here!

[bag_has_snapped]

Ah... th-thank you. A friend showed how it was done... at least with her. I dunno if any of my friends know how to do that where I'm from

[lil_tanuki]

Oh that is pretty neat to be honest! Can anyone do it?

[bag_has_snapped]

As long as you're part of the community, I believe.

[lil_tanuki]

That is so neat. Well, I'm ready to go then!

[bag_has_snapped]

Mmmn! [And with that, Tsubomi takes Hayate back to her world... and hopes no one wonders why she has a kid with her back home for now.]

[fightbymoonlight]

It's really not that fun to be a magical girl. [Yuri, don't be so bitter.]

[lil_tanuki]

Really? How come? [Yuri please, don't tread on a little girl's dreams...]

[fightbymoonlight]

It's not as nice as it looks. It's a lot of hard work and the fate of everyone lies on your shoulders, without any recognition for it. [Bitter ranting first, realizing she's speaking to a nine year old later.]

[lil_tanuki]

It still sounds like something I'd love to do. I mean... being crippled and all, I would love to be able to some day save people...

[fightbymoonlight]

[And realization setting in in 3... 2... 1...]

Well... it's not all bad, of course. I don't know how your world works, but if magic exists there, you never know what might happen.
