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...

That sounds like a good dream.

[lil_tanuki]

Oh! This got on the community? Well, yes, yes it was! It was nice, watching the city from below... the sparkling lights...

[bag_has_snapped]

Being a magical girl, huh?

Heh, it's nice.

[shiningwaters]

Well, I don't know how much I can help with, but I might be able to let you fly for a little bit...

[lil_tanuki]

I think I'd love it! Being able to help people, fly around, have fun with your friends...

[lil_tanuki]

You can do that? Really? For real real?!

[bag_has_snapped]

Heh... but, it's a lot of hard work, too. Do you think you can handle that?

[shiningwaters]

I'd have to use some very careful Aero magic, but I think it might work.

[lil_tanuki]

You can use magic? [Totally growing excited here] Can anyone learn it?

[lil_tanuki]

Mmm! Once my legs are better, you'll see! I'll be the best magical girl you can think of!

[bag_has_snapped]

Hmm... y'know, I have a friend who likes to make outfits. I don't think I could make you an actual magical girl, but I could certainly help you dress up like one!

[lil_tanuki]

Really? For real? You'd do that for me? Thank you oneechan!

[shiningwaters]

It's a little difficult to explain. But I have a trait that lets me use magic more easily than someone without it. Otherwise, it tends to be even harder to find someone with magic potential, at least in the worlds I've been to.

[lil_tanuki]

Oh I see, so it's sort of like 'magic is a rare thing' for people that you know, correct? I understand.

[shiningwaters]

But I am good enough at putting charms on crafts. I might be able to make something that could at least put on a lightshow for you.

[lil_tanuki]

That would be great actually! I'd really love that to be honest.

[bag_has_snapped]

"Oneechan"? Y-you called me "oneechan"...

[She starts squeeing at that, a big grin on her face.]

She called me her big sister!

[lil_tanuki]

[Giggling at that.]

I take it no one's called you that before? Okay then, please make me a magical girl dress oneechan!

[shiningwaters]

I've got some downtime right now, to be honest, so it won't be hard to put together. What kind of item would you want?

[lil_tanuki]

Maybe a little charm? Something to keep on myself, but big enough so that I know where it is.

[bag_has_snapped]

Nuh-uh! I'll be happy to be your oneechan, then! Oh...! If that's the case, I'm Tsubomi, what's your name?

[lil_tanuki]

I'm Hayate! Hayate Yagami! Nice to meet you Tsubomi-oneechan!

[bag_has_snapped]

Well, then, Hayate-chan, I'll get you that outfit...!

...is there anything you want with it? I'd do something like what we have in our world, but it wouldn't be right, since you're different!

[lil_tanuki]

Well... can I help design it? I also know people can go to other worlds on this community so can I come over and see it being made?

[shiningwaters]

All right, so a necklace maybe? Or bracelets?
