onepassingnight | [007 ☿] Dream a little dream

[It's been a rainy dream, as Mizuno Ami (aged seven) walks home. Her backpack looks quite plump and full, probably due to the extra books she brings to have something to focus on during lunch.

Some things distract even her.

Ami hops across a few small puddles then, after a quick thought to decide it's alright, she hops across a much larger one. She sails through the air- and clears her target! All dry. She giggles in satisfaction.

The rain has stopped by now and there's a playground nearby, where the ground and equipment are somehow dry enough to use. Ami has a long time before Mama will be home, and she knows the people who live around here and play at this spot.

She can finish her homework after dinner (and she really will). Right now, she really wants to play. She climbs carefully into the seat of one of the swings, which turns out to be a touch too high for her and she pumps her legs but barely gets up momentum.

She might need a little help. She could also use a friend to play with.]

Okay~!

[She pushes her gently, but with enough force to get a good momentum going]

[It's an even, soothing motion; like being a pendulum; she's played with those before. Ami's smile only grows, and she laughs. She makes a point of saying a word each time she swings closest to Vanille:]

Thank

you

This

is

really

fun!

[Vanille giggles in response]

You're

Very

Welcome!

Let's

Go

Higher!

[she gives her a good solid push to get her going even more]

[Ami kicks her feet in sudden nervousness at the speed; but a moment later, she seems to enjoy this, too.]

Faster! [Oh, dear. She's got a taste for it now! She pulls against the chains and pumps her legs.]

Faster we go!

[She pushes her to go faster, careful not to be too rough and if she falls, she'll be able to catch her]

[Ami lets herself go higher, higher, and then when she runs out of courage to go any further, she leans forward...

and lets go. It's an easy jump, but magnified to a child's eyes it's an impressive one. It's certainly a fun one as she sails through the air and lands on her feet.],/i>

[Vanille watches as she jumps and lands right on her feet. Children were so spry]

Nice one!

Was that fun?

[Ami grins up at Vanille.] It really was! Thank you.

You're welcome!

[She giggles. She thinks for a second.]

You wanna see a magic trick?

[Ami nods her head eagerly.] Please show me!

[She holds out her hand and whispers]

Fire

[A small ball of flame appears in her hand]

But watch this!

Blizzard.

[The ball of flame turns into ice]

[It's a good trick! Ami's head perks up quickly. She starts to reach out, then draws her hand back. She looks up at Vanille.]

Is it OK to touch it?

[She nods and leans over just a little, holding the ice ball out to her]

Mm-hmm! You can touch it.

[Ami reaches out for the ice, but as soon as her finger touches it, it grows larger. She yanks her hand back in surprise.]

Oh!

[She looks at it and tilts her head]

Touch it again.

[Ami, convincing herself this is part of Vanille's magic trick, and now knowing to expect a reaction, reaches out to touch the ice again. This time, it melts - but the water stays in a perfect ball, hovering in the air.

Even Ami is impressed now.]

Amazing!

[Her eyes widen in amazement]

Woooooow....That is amazing!

[She moves her hands from under it slowly]

You must be doing that....

[She'll wonder about it later, the powers they say are because of her, powers in herself she hasn't realized. Is there something like that in reality?

Ami cups her hands under the ball of water, which stays in place.]

But I don't know any magic. It's you.

[She stares at it, knowing it's not her, but how to tell a little girl that it's her and it's her dream]

......Hm....

[Well, let's play with it then]

Watera

[Around them, she creates large water balls that start bouncing around them in a circle]

[Ami turns all around, watching one ball of water and then the next.]

It's so pretty!

[One comes too close and she ducks away, laughing at herself.]

[She laughs lightly]

Wateraga!

[A big burst of water explodes over head, but the water splashes around them in a shower rather than on top of]

[Ami reaches out to catch a few drops in the palm of her hand, and brings it up close to her face to examine it more. It looks, well, normal. But she imagines it to be very special, after all of this.]

You made it rain!

[She giggles]

Mm-hmm! Sure did!

Can you do it again, please? I want to see it again!

No problem!

[she raises a hand again]

Wateraga!
