short: the talk

Disclaimer: This update contains talk that some may not be comfortable with. Please keep in mind that this is going to be around Family Guy level of crude humor if I do it right. You have been warned ♥


"Son, can you come in here?" Merlot called to his boy from the comfort of the sofa.
Drover came into the living room noticing only he and his father on that floor of the house. "Yeah.. this doesn't make me nervous at all.." He trailed off as he took a seat beside his dad.
Merlot cut right to the chase. "Now I know you and Violet have become rather romantic lately-"
"Oh dingle berry! Please tell me this isn't what I think it is!"

Merlot nodded slowly, fighting off a smile at the look on his son's face.
"Now, Drover. I know at your age there's a lot of things you want to try with girls, maybe even other boys-"
"DAD!"
Lo ignored his outburst and continued on. "You just need to be careful with what you do, son. I already have fifteen grand kids and I don't need any from you yet."
Drover rolled his eyes at his dad.
"But, there is another matter. I know you must have had feelings for the darlin' when she was still imaginary, and you probably had to take them into your own hands, if you know what I'm saying. Now that she's real I don't want to hear you two going at it all hours of the day."
"Oh my Berry Dad stop already."

Undeterred, Merlot marched on. "Have ya done anything yet, boy?" All serious now.

*smack smack*
*giggle*
*smack*



"Uh... no."
Merlot knew when his kids were honest and when they were hiding something but he chose to move on. "Now, I've been through the same thing you are going through, with the exception of the girlfriend out of thin air. In fact there was this one time, before I met your mother mind you, ...."


~15 excruciatingly graphic minutes later~

".... and it went EVERYWHERE!"
"...."
"Son..?"
"I think my ears are bleeding."
"Oh it wasn't that bad of a story!"

"Really, Dad? This is where the line is and this is where you are allllllll the way over here."
Lo laughed at his son's embarrassment.
"Y'know son, if ya need some I may have an extra box I can spare, your Mama hasn't really been in the mood since she's started going through the change of life." Lo's generous offer was lost on his son, who just gave him a look for a moment.
"I think I'm gonna go in that corner over there and die now." Drover got up and started walking out of the room.

"Remember to practice safe sex!" Lo called, a cocky smile on his face.

at last

After Mare had given me the base ingredient I was completely jazzed to work with it, hoping for the first time in a long while. Unfortunately, Mom kept me busy with the family the whole week so I had to wait until the weekend. Ok, even on the weekend I wasn't supposed to be at my lab table but I got up at 2am, before anyone else even Gold Mist, and snuck down to my lab table to work.

Creak. Ho-dingle berry some one's there! I stood still as a frozen gummy worm for two whole minutes until I was sure no one besides me was up and moving. I quickly pulled on my lab coat and goggles and got down to work.

I was actually alone for once as Violet was asleep in her doll form. It was a rare thing for me to really be by myself these days. I was always observed by someone; Mom, Downy, Wisteria, Dad, but mostly Violet herself. Not that I minded always having her around, really that was the thing I loved the most. I can depend on her to always be there for me and she always no what to do and what not to do when she's around me. She knows when I need a sympathetic ear or when I just need someone there to sit with me. That's one of the things I love about her.... not love j-just friend-love and... yeah.

At what I guessed was around 5am, A cloud of colorful smoke puffed from the chemical concoction and in that smoke was the image of a girl's face. I had never seen her before but upon looking into the smoke girl's eyes, I knew it was Violet. I did it... I made the potion!

I changed back out of my lab wear and waited for everyone else to wake up, too excited to actually go back to sleep. I did however take the time to think back on my life, thus far. Making Violet real will change everything, I'll no longer have to worry that I'm some lunatic talking to a hallucination. Everything will be different.

When life was young

and all was clear

not much to fear

besides the monsters under your bed

but as you get older
the world's like a boulder
ready to fall right down on your head

when life was young.

At about 8:30 everyone was awake. I couldn't wait, so before they could even get breakfast I had summoned everyone to the front hall. Downy was a little miffed that she couldn't head right out to the slip n' slide but the others just looked at the strange brown liquid in my grasp. They of course couldn't see Violet, who stood right in front of them, but they would soon.

Violet was a bit wary of drinking the strange chemical and looked at me apprehensively. "Trust me." I urged, handing over the potion.

She chugged it down and soon a cloud of light captured her. Every one's attention wavered from me to the growing cloud of light in front of them, shock spread wide over their faces.

Adrenaline pumped hard and fast through me as I waited for the light to die down and show her.

Soon enough it did and the first thing I did was grab her in my arms and spin her around. As her feet touched the ground again I pulled her in close and kissed her.

I knew that I loved her and I was finally ready to accept that, I just hoped that she could too.

That evening I sat out on the porch just looking up at the stars and thinking. I heard the careful foot steps of Violet before she sat down next to me. We sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity before she said something. "Stop worrying, Drover, I love you too."

My eyes popped wide open and I looked over at her. She giggled before explaining. "Since I come from your mind I'm in tune with it."

"You can read my mind?!" I croaked making her laugh harder. "No, no. More like empathy." I sighed in relief before pulling her in close to my side.

A bright beam of light caught my eye. "Look, Vi! A shooting star." She smiled wide and lay her head against my shoulder. "Do you think its good luck?"
I thought for a moment before answering. "I sure hope so,"
