"I'm sorry that I did that, but I did go back and get them after! I was just embarrassed that you would give me something like them!" Victoria growled, and I kissed her forehead.
The items in question were things that I had been making to sell, and I wanted to know if the girls thought they would be good gifts. When I was younger, I had tried to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, and I went through a ton of crafting fazes.
"I know, I would go back and check, and they would always be gone. I knew that you liked them, so that was all that mattered. You girls are part of the reason why I ended up making such good money and why I made sure to help you all out the best I could," I explained.
"Mom told me when you were gone that you were the one that paid for our house and my grandparent's bills. She also said that you paid for my college tuition, is that all true?" Victoria asked, and I nodded.
"Yeah, you girls have always been a big help to me, so I made sure to pay you all back. Not like I could find anything useful for all the money anyways. I was just happy that I could help you all, and we could all keep doing the things that we wanted to," I said with a smile as I learned to turn around the corner.
"I never knew," Victoria said, seeming to be puzzled.
"I never wanted you to, but I don't hold it against your mother for telling you," I said, but Victoria looked troubled, so I asked, "What's up?"
"You did all this, even though I have always been mean to you? I just can't make sense of it all. I don't deserve to have you in my life!" Victoria said, starting to cry.
I pulled my wings in, and we started to drop. We hit the ground before Victoria could even scream, and I put her down, stepping back.
"What is your problem?!" Victoria shouted at me.
"You and your shitty attitude. I did these things, so you don't get to decide if you are worth it! I decided that!" I shouted at her, and she stepped back from me.
"I just... I'm mean to you!" She shouted back.
"Yeah, and I like you just the way you are! Do you think that I would really put up with your shit if It bothered me? When do I put up with anyone's shit?" I asked, and Victoria looked away from me.
I sighed and walked over to her, wrapping Victoria in a hug, and she started to cry against me. People were gathering around, so I wrapped my wings around her as well to block the onlookers.
"I will always be here for you, but don't start changing on me. There are enough girls that treat me like I walk on water, but you are one of the only girls that scold me. I don't want that to change, but I would like for you to try and be a bit cuter when it is just the two of us, okay?" I asked, and Victoria nodded, wiping her face on my shirt.
"Do you think that we can start flying again? I don't mind if you go a little bit higher, just please don't drop us again," Victoria asked, and I nodded, unfurling my wings.
"Are you an angel sent from God?" A woman asked, stepping forward from the crowd.
"Nope, but I am the one that created all the places that you can live in, and I help give you all the food. God has nothing to do with it," I said and then bent my knees before jumping into the air with a whoosh of my wings, and we were off.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
I was able to gain altitude much faster this time, and it almost felt like something I was born to do. Soon we were up fifty feet into the air, and now we were able to soar over the bridge.
"Do you think that people will actually use these bridges?" Victoria asked as we glided over one that was creating a cage that went all around the bridges.
"Maybe not right away, but in time. At first, there will only be a few, but as time goes on, more people will get braver and will want to see the view. Each one of them will have benches and places for people to sit down, so in time I think that we will see more people using them," I explained, and Victoria nodded.
"Is that big one up ahead our tree?" Victoria asked.
"Yup, so close your eyes were are going to go a lot higher," I explained, and Victoria nodded as I increased the strokes of my wings, carrying me higher.
The Great Tree was just up ahead, and I could see my house atop of it. There was a big hole opening on the side, waiting to let me back inside.
I flew up and inside but was surprised to see that all the girls were there waiting for me. I guessed that they could probably hear me coming, and the side of the house opening up indeed gave it away.
"So, it seems like some big changes happened, but Vic still looks normal. What is that all about?!" Melody demanded, and she came storming over.
"What do you mean that I still look normal?! Did you think I was going to do it at my house with my parents there?! And I never said that I was ready for that, so mind your own business!" Victoria exclaimed, jumping off of my arms.
"Well, at least you seem to have figured out some of your feelings, so I will have to be satisfied with that! Now, you!" Melody said, turning on me.
"What about me?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at my short little Queen.
"Can I have a turn?" Melody asked, making big eyes.
"Like right now? In front of the other girls? I don't think that is a good idea," I said, and Melody hit me.
