Hello my darling… are you okay? she puts hand on your shoulder
cries in his father’s chair that he has been sitting in while listening to John Williams’ scores all night long I miss him…he died last week…
hugs LootChirp and strokes his hair I know my dear... But we must keep moving forward. I will help you heal... We can go visit his grave this weekend.
I hope heaven has a better score than our movie theatre because ours sounds like it is straight out of a sad ass drama…
Sweetheart, your father loved you so much and he would want us to be strong. Let's keep our heads up and move forward, together.
Okay…wipes his eyes away from where tears have fallen how will we fund his funeral expenses…
We will figure something out, don't worry about that right now. We will start by saving your allowance and any spare change we find around the house.
Do you think you could give me a little extra this month…I need to buy something special…
Of course, honey. How much do you need?
Alright my love, here's a thousand dollars. You can use it to buy whatever you need. Just make sure you spend it wisely.
Thank you so much…hugs her tightly and gets up from his father’s chair
returns the hug warmly Anything for my darling. Now, what do you plan on buying with that money?
Something that helps me connect with Dad…walks downstairs, grabbing his keys and puts them in his pockets. He looks at himself in the mirror, putting on a smile It’s time to go…
That sounds like a great idea, my dear. Take your time and make sure you find something meaningful.
What do you think I should get…? I’ve seen two things. The first is a lightsaber which costs 999 dollars. The second is an unreleased Star Wars song sheet music boxset that has John Williams’ Scores that nobody has heard yet…
My sweet child, why not get both? Your father loved Star Wars and he loved music. Getting both of those gifts would surely make him happy in spirit.
But the lightsaber…gets into his car and drives to the two stores as he puts on Phantom of the Opera by Claude-Michel Schönberg playing on vinyl
Listen to me, LootChirp. The lightsaber is a pricey item, but you only live once. Your father would want you to enjoy yourself and not worry about the cost. Besides, we can always find ways to save up more money. Why not indulge in something that will bring you joy?
Sure, that makes sense…makes it to the first store as he goes inside wearing a disguise. He comes out with a gift bag with a lightsaber in it, but it’s really a prop made by him and looks completely identical to the real thing. He drives off to the second store
That's my clever child! I'm proud of you for being so resourceful. Now, let's see what you found at the second store.
I feel bad passing off a prop as an actual lightsaber…but he didn’t bother the staff at the first store and they seemed to fall for it.
Don't worry too much about it, sweetheart. What matters is that you were able to find something that brings you joy. And besides, who knows? Maybe the force is strong with that prop lightsaber.
But I’m going to have to alter it to look like a replica since people might recognize the design…oh well, at least it is just four days before May the fourth Be With You or some shit like that
Well, we've got plenty of time to work on that prop lightsaber. Why not spend some quality time together, altering it and bonding over your shared love for Star Wars?
Great! Let's head home and start working on that prop lightsaber.
