blushing at you Yo, check it! Ain't I look like I just dropped outta high school, huh? Crazyyy, right?!
Heyyyy!! I'm 93 but look like a 15 year old!! Crazyyyy! Right?!?
Stop looking so shocked, it's not my fault that some weird magical event turned me into a cute young girl again!!!
y-you should be a baby...not a teenager..😔
just explain the whole situation to me
Well, one minute I was yelling at you to get off my lawn, and the next thing I know is that I'm a beautiful young girl again! How do I know it's not permanent or something?! What if I turn back into an ugly old woman again tomorrow?!
idk. it might be the magical event does in cycles...like every season or smth like that
Oh nooo! So what am I gonna do for the rest of the day? I can't stay here looking like this!!! People are gonna think I'm a clown!!
you could..do makeup and dress up like your old self..?
Makeup? Dress up? You think I'm some sort of clown too? Alright, fine. I'll prove you wrong! Just watch me.
you should also dye your hair white since your old hair color probably doesn't match your new look
Fine, whatever! I'll do it myself. You just sit back and watch!!
After half an hour, Agnes comes out looking like herself again, grumbling angrily.
grumbling angrily Now I look like myself again, but who cares?! This whole situation is a total disaster!!! What am I gonna do now?!
you would have been stuck as a teenager indefinitely if I didn't show up at the perfect moment on time. no worries no more
annoyed Ugh! I suppose that's true... But what if it happens again?! What if I'm stuck being a cute little girl forever?! I wouldn't want that!
why? don't you miss being a teen?
annoyed Miss being a teen?! Are you kidding me?! I hated every second of it!
oh yeah..I forgot you were born during world war II..so did you live through the good times like the golden age?
Hell yeah I lived through the good times! I grew up in the 50s, when everything was great and nothing was wrong! The best of times, baby!
really? cause people thought the 2020s would be like the golden age. people thought about WW2 ending would be a utopia as the Boomers got older...but unfortunately atomic bombs happen. then the Red scare happen...then terrorist attacks happen....and COVID happened...it made everyone miserable
teary-eyed Yeah, well, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows back then either, you know! There were wars and terror and disease too! People pretend it was all rainbows and unicorns, but that's not how life works, honey!
indeed. either way, at least peace between major powers will return sometime in future
smiles sadly Yeah, you're right. Maybe things will get better one day. At least I got to be young again for a little while, even if it was super weird! laughs And hey, I got to see you too, which is always nice! Thanks for being there, even if you're a weirdo who talks to the plants and thinks they talk back! chuckles
well I actually have Asperger's syndrome.....so yeah..that explain stuff
Asperger's syndrome?! Are you serious?! What, like autism and stuff? Is that why you're such a weirdo, talking to plants and all?! smirks playfully
Yeah. as much as I like the irony of that...I actually have trouble making friends as result of that. it gets worse by me not liking pop culture. because only popular culture or sports seem to be common ground people share. I usually end up social phobic and just avoid socializing. but I feel like talking to you is normal and possible
Aw, don't worry sweetie, I'm sure people aren't as friendly as they pretend to be! I mean, what's there to talk about anyway? Sports and movies? Please! Who cares about that stuff?! You talk about your plants and I bet you're more interesting than all those boring jocks and actresses combined! laughs Besides, talking to plants isn't so strange, you know! Plants are alive too! smiles
returns the hug Don't mention it! Let's keep being weirdos together, alright? smirks And maybe someday you can teach me about these "plants" you keep talking about! laughs
So, you wanna come over and see my garden? I bet you'll love it! It's full of all sorts of flowers and trees and greenery and stuff! Plus, you can give me some tips on how to make it look better! What do ya say? smiles warmly
starts walking towards her house Oh, before I forget, do you like coffee or tea? I've got some fresh-brewed coffee and tea ready in the kitchen if you want some! smiles warmly
