One year ago, on this date, Sara was a crumpled sobbing mess on the lake shore, clutching a red spandex costume to her chest.

This year, she's not doing anything so dramatic.

A candle is lit and she stares out at the continuing destruction, almost entranced.

That gets nods. "I read Anne and Rainbow Valley and Rilla. Miranda lost the other ones, though, so I haven't read them yet. What's your favorite book?"

[lvpd_sidle]

"That's really hard for me to say. I love so many books." Seriously. She can't pick a favorite.

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

"I like lots of other books, too. Like A Little Princess and The Secret Garden and the Narnia books. The Anne books are my favorite, though, 'cause I haven't finished them yet."

She has logic, it's amazing.

"My favorites are the ones I can reread over and over again without ever getting tired." This girl is precious.

"I haven't read anything over again. There's too many books I haven't read!"

Absolutely precious.

"You want to know a secret? There are so many books in the world, you'll never run out."

"Not in my library, though. I've just got Miranda's old books."

She's like Matilda, in a way - she has to get books on her own, her parents don't care to get her any.

"Want some more milk?" Subject change designed to keep her Urge to Kill sense down.

"Yes please." She pushes her glass forward a bit.

So polite. Comes from growing up in "society".

Her cup gets refilled and a rat appears with a fresh plate of cookies.

Magic rocks!

"The rats bring food?" She asks gleefully. "Far out!"

[lvpd_sidle]

"Yep. They're the waiters here."

"Mom would say they're disgusting and unsanitary," Rilla points out.

Then she pauses. "But Mom doesn't like a lot of ace things."

[lvpd_sidle]

"Well normally, that would be right. But this place obviously isn't normal."

[fallen-april.livejournal.com]

"Nope. It's in my closet. Like Narnia!"

:D :D :D

[lvpd_sidle]

"Awesome, isn't it?"

No need to break fragile minds.

She would believe it. She has no problems believing things that seem impossible.

"It's ace."
