--ather will be so pleas...ed

[the little girl stops in her tracks, the ice skates she's holding falling to the 'ground' with a clatter as she stares at her surroundings. she was quite certain she'd just been in London -- and this doesn't look a thing like London. this doesn't even look a thing like Blackpool, which she's always been told loves this sort of thing.

spinning around, she is surprised to see the little shoppe she'd been visiting is gone, replaced by more of these absolutely impossible stars. and if there's no shoppe, there's no way home.

in a very unladylike fashion, the little girl plops down beside her skates, taking deep breaths. she's British -- there must be a very good explanation for this, and if there isn't, she'll just pretend there is and go about like nothing happened. as soon as she starts breathing properly, of course. her father is going to be so upset.

speaking of, the girl looks down at the skates, tugging a lace]

I suppose we won't be going skating after all...

[ooc; Experiment start!]

I guess so. But it's okay. They'll get what they have coming to them someday, after I'm rich and famous.

Well, because I didn't properly thank you. It's very rude not to properly thank someone. But thank you for not telling him. I think it'll be fun, keeping a secret.

Famous? Like politics, maybe?

[and man he should just ignore it but...]

What do you think they have coming to them?

Yes, exactly! I'm going to be just like my father, only better! And I'm going to marry the most perfect, amazing prince and be the most important woman in the world.

[grins, then leans in to whisper conspiratorially] Well, they like to torment me, so I'll torment them back! I bet they can't pick on me if they don't have tongues, right?

[ooooh dear.....it's disturbing yet oddly ridiculous because it's totally the Lucy he knows in a pint-size package. The ridiculousness of it wins the day, because, well he's heard these threats enough from the Lucy he knows. He doesn't think before he speaks, laughing a little as he says it]

Don't forget the eyes, can rip those out as well.

[and then he realizes he's speaking to a little girl, and ohcrap, he doesn't want to be responsible for adding that favourite to her repertoire.]

Or not any of those things. Maybe just a success is the best revenge approach, what with being the most important woman and marrying your prince, that's revenge enough right there, probably, maybe, yeah? Or shouting! You can just say nasty things to them. That's one I do quite a bit sometimes.

[pouts] You don't believe me. You're just making fun of me. I thought you were my friend.

[she sniffs and looks away, crossing her arms] Maybe I don't want to do just that.

[sincerely, because it's the honest truth] Not making fun. I promise, I believe you, 110%. I'd bet anything that all those things you say you want, the prince and the power all that, you'll get all of it. Probably even the removing their tongues bit, too.

I just know someone who says that sort of thing, that's all.

[opens his mouth to say something else, but he's not sure what to say to any of this, so he picks up one of her skates again, playing with the laces]

[that seems to unruffle her feathers a bit, though she still gives him a look]

So, you really think I'll be able to do all that?

I know you will.

[that definitely mollifies her and she grins, laughing] Of course I will! I always get what I want.

[small smile, although it might be a little sad and troubled] I bet.

[and then a bigger smile, although a little bit forced] I think we should have code names. So if you ever meet that twin of mine, maybe give Him a fake name instead of your real one. And leave out the entire thing about what those girls have coming to them. He won't react well to it, I think. It will be a bit like being spies.

Playing spies? [considers this, tapping her chin, then giggles] That sounds like fun! What do you think would be a good code name, then? I've never had a code name, before. And how long do we play this game?

We play as long as we like I think, or until we get bored with it.

[rests his chin in his hand, thinking]

I'm rubbish at coming up with names. Still, maybe between the two of us we can manage to come up with something.

Hmmm. [mimics his pose] What about something that says how amazing I am and how dreadful you are?

Dreadful?!

Maybe scruffy is better?

Scruffy! Oh, you're just a regular charmer, aren't you?

I'm absolutely delightful.

Obviously. It's what I said, isn't it?

[back to chin in hands thinking pose]

So the goal then is something that emphasizes your delightfulness and my scruffiness. Maybe we can say it's ruggedness? I could be quite rugged, I think.

Hmmm. What about something like Belle and Scrawny?

So I'm Bella, you're Scrawny?

No! I'm not Scrawny, you are! I'm beautiful and sophisticated, so I'm Belle.

Well I can't be Scrawny. I'm not even close to being Scrawny.

You are too. You're all tall and gangly and not nice at all. Not like me.

Oi, I'm very nice!

Nice to laugh at.
