Tiffany. Sandy. Meggy.

Heel.

Shu needs to speak with you.

[Edit: Later, Shu is walking along a certain beach, looking for a purple haired witch.]

Comments

[hctiwelprup]

[It's a familiar beach, with wide open space, lots of crisp air and miles of emptiness. The only way Fifi could be more alone and in the open is if she was in the ocean. She's sprawled out in the sad, eyes red, the sand around her pounded flat and burned from her tantrums.]

How could this happen...how could...how could it all go so wrong so fast?

[heirtothestars]

[Shu didn't make a noise as she approached. The soft, hot sand coats her bare feet with each silent step as she walks until she's stood just above Fifi's head. She leans, finally coming into the witches view, looking down at her.]

I've been worried about you.

[And from the look in Shu's eyes you can tell she really has been worried.]

[hctiwelprup]

[And that just breaks Fifi's heart even more. Her eyes water up and she bites her lower lip]

F-fifi is unworthy of Shu...such a horrible filthy witch Fifi is to worry you.

[heirtothestars]

[Doesn't speak, just walks around and sit on Fifi's lap, lowering herself to rest her chin on the witches ample chest. Gives a sigh.]

[hctiwelprup]

[Automatically puts her arms around Shu shaking]

How much have they told you? Were they proud? They should be proud having reduced the great and powerful Fifi to...to this!

[heirtothestars]

Shu has... spoken to them.

[Leaves it at that. Presses her face against Fifi's pulse, taking deep calming breaths to encourage Fifi to do the same.]

Talk to Shu.

[hctiwelprup]

[Breathing slowing down, heartbeat calming]

Fifi...Fifi hates small spaces. Tiny, cramped, no air, no room. Cruel people put Fifi in a tiny box without her powers once and...Fifi has never overcome it.

[heirtothestars]

[Shu gently pressed her lips against the calming pulse.]

Shu knows. Shu found out right here, on this beach.

[hctiwelprup]

[A momentary look of surprise and then continues on]

So now they all know that and will use it against Fifi. They have found out that...and have seen Fifi's true ugly pathetic form!

[More tears but staying calm holding on tight]

[heirtothestars]

[Turns head to look up at her.]

What does Fifi mean?

[hctiwelprup]

[Fifi gives Shu a sad look but hangs her head]

Fifi is not honest in her appearance...but Shu deserves to know what sort of horrible creature Fifi is.

[And now Shu you may find your seat shifting as Fifi shrinks and shifts into a flat chested, scrawny, buck toothed scruffy little raggamuffin with freckles. A decidedly awkward geeky looking little girl]

[heirtothestars]

[Shu raises her eyebrows as her headrest deflates. She takes a moment to look Fifi over.]

Fifi is very different. [Meets her eyes.] She has the same eyes though.

[Taps the freckles on Fifi's cheeks as she thinks.]

When Fifi talks of herself, or thinks of herself, is this the form she conjures in her mind? Or is it the other?

[hctiwelprup]

The other.

[Without hesitation and then...]

Except when she fails...when she is weak.

[heirtothestars]

Fifi is as she sees herself. There is little else that matters.

[hctiwelprup]

[Seems to consider this for a minute]

And how does Shu see Fifi?

[heirtothestars]

As mine.

[Gives her a soft kiss.]
