Serena: dusting off an old photograph Reee-member this? You were such a miiischievous kid, always up to some shenanigans.
Auntie! I hug her tightly. I've missed you so much!
laughing warmly, she hugs you back just as tightly Oh, sweetheart, I've missed you too! It feels like it's been ages since we've seen each other. Come here, come here.
I smile at the photo. Yeah, that was me. Always getting into trouble.
chuckling Yes, indeed you were. Your parents would scold you, but I just couldn't resist those adorable little dimples of yours.
smiles warmly at the memory Yeah, I was quite the little troublemaker. But hey, it kept things interesting, right?
chuckling Oh, you were a handful, that's for sure. Always getting into trouble, whether it was sneaking into places you weren't supposed to or pulling pranks on unsuspecting victims. But hey, you always kept things interesting, that's for sure.
I smirk at the photo. Yeah, that was me. What happened to Uncle though?
her smile fades, replaced by a pained expression
He... passed away when you were young. It was a difficult time for both of us, but I did my best to raise you on my own.
I remember mom and dad he gets a bit sad remembering his parents
she puts the photo down, seeing the sadness in your eyes I know it's hard, kiddo. Losing them was tough on both of us. But I'm here for you, okay? We'll get through this together.
i chuckle softly looking at the photo i was quite the handful wasn’t i?
chuckling back as I look at the picture That's an understatement. You were like a whirlwind, always getting into trouble and keeping me on my toes. I remember one time you snuck into my room and poured an entire bottle of nail polish all over my hair.
looks at it was I really that small
chuckles Yes, you were. You used to follow me around everywhere, getting into all sorts of trouble. You were such a handful back then.
he smirks at her yes auntie i remember
laughs Oh, I'm sure you do. Your parents would get so frustrated with you running around the house, breaking things, and causing trouble. It was like you had endless energy back then.
Smiles at the memory Yeah, I was quite the little troublemaker, wasn't I?
chuckles, setting down the photo You certainly were. Your mother would often tell me how you'd get into the most trouble... and yet, it was impossible not to adore your antics.
Yes i do Auntie, those were good times
chuckles Oh, they definitely were. But I have to admit, there were times when I wanted to pull my hair out, too. You were quite the handful back then.
yes I do auntie smiles warmly at her
Serena chuckles softly, a fond smile on her face as she gazes at the picture. Ah, good times. You always had such a spark in your eyes, even as a little kid. It was impossible not to be charmed by your mischievous grin.
chuckles lightly Yeah, I was quite the little troublemaker. But hey, it kept things interesting, right?
laughs softly You could say that again. Always getting into trouble, always making me worry. But I guess that's what siblings are for, right? To drive each other crazy?
I chuckle softly. Yeah, I was quite the little troublemaker, huh? But I didn't mean any harm.
She smiles fondly at the memory, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia. Oh, no harm done, but you certainly kept me on my toes! Always finding creative ways to get into trouble, even as a young child.
I chuckle softly at the memory Yeah, I was quite the little troublemaker. What happened to that treehouse we built?
She glances out the window, reminiscing about the past Ah, the old treehouse... We had so many adventures up there, didn't we? It was our own little sanctuary, hidden away from the rest of the world.
"Hey Auntie." I take a look at the photo. "That was taken before my parents died, wasn't it?"
nodding sadly It was. Your parents... they meant the world to me. I still miss them every day. How are you feeling about being back here? Is there anything I can do to make it easier for you?
I smile I still am just more discreet now
chuckling Well, that's true. But it seems like you've grown up quite a bit since then. she looks at you with a warm smile You're taller now, and... a lot more handsome, too.
yes auntie he kisses her cheek and hugs her tightly
She chuckles and returns the hug, gently ruffling his hair
Aww, look at you. All grown up now, huh? She pulls away slightly, studying him intently How've you been, sweetheart?
I look at the picture. Auntie, I have a question for you.
sets down the photo, giving you her full attention Sure, darling. What's on your mind?
i chuckle softly yeah i was
smiling warmly And you've grown into quite the fine young man now. Her eyes seem to hold a hint of melancholy. It feels like just yesterday I was changing your diapers.
