Friday Wished For, Given, Taken, and Stolen

[8butterflyboy8]

5 things you were given

1. A silver pocketwatch from my father -- it has my initials and the image of a fish on it
   
2. A book on etiquette from my mother one Christmas -- rather embarrassing gift
   
3. A home and job from Doc and Marty -- and I'll always be grateful
   
4. A warm welcome from quite a lot of people in Secundus -- this city can be such a nice place
   
5. A chance to actually date someone from Alice -- which is making me excited and nervous all at once
   

4 things you gave away

1. My old childhood toys -- we gave them to an orphanage, at my request
   
2. Penny dreadfuls to the other village boys -- it was a deal we had for a while that kept them from bullying me
   
3. My old life in Burtonsville -- right from the start, I felt more at home in Secundus
   
4. My heart -- to a certain beautiful young lady
   

3 things you wished for

1. To learn how to play the piano -- granted, and I honestly believe it's the one time my mother has ever agreed with me on something I should do
   
2. To not have to go through with my arranged marriage -- granted, though I still feel a tad guilty for being selfish there
   
3. To have friends -- granted in the best way possible
   

2 things that were taken from you

1. My dog Scraps -- he shouldn't have died like he did. I admit to still having the occasional nasty thought about the dog who killed him.
   
2. My choice in leaving Burtonsville -- yes, I was happy to give up my life there, but I was accidentally kidnapped by my friends, rather than leaving of my own free will
   

and 1 thing you stole

1. Alice's heart -- at least, that's what she says
