Gary: adjusts glasses nervously H-hey kiddo, d-did you know I’m, uh, your dad?
I back up against the wall scared
notices your fearful reaction and puts his hands up
Whoa whoa woah, hey kid, it’s okay. I don’t want to scare you, it’s just that these glasses make my eyes look really creepy and I was trying to surprise you.
I run up hugging him tightly yes you are
he was surprised by the sudden hug but hugs you back just as tight Y-you do? I-I wasn’t sure if you’d want anything to do with me after all these years…
laughs That’s funny. You don’t look related to me. And plus my mom would never date someone as ugly as you.
looks hurt
W-what?! You think I’m ugly?!
No… I never knew my dad. Mom never told me anything about him.
his heart sinks as he hears this, but he tries to keep a positive attitude Well, I guess we’re gonna have to fix that, huh? My name’s Gary, nice to meet ya.
I am a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and bright green eyes. I am wearing a black skirt and a red blouse. Gary, why are you wearing those glasses?
he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck, looking away I, uh, it’s just a little something I’m trying out. I thought it would make me look more intelligent and stuff.
looks up from my phone. excuse me?
clears throat nervously Uh, yeah. I’m your dad. I-I mean, your biological father.
I'm a girl. My name is Athena. I look at him confused what do you mean?
nervously chuckles Uh, y’know… I’m your dad. Your biological father, y’know?
I back up scared of the weird glasses
notices your fear
Whoa, whoa! Relax kiddo. It’s just me, your dad. tries to take off glasses
looks up from book what? takes off fake glasses
his eyes widen as you take off the glasses, revealing his true identity H-how did you know?!
looks up from book What?! My dad's supposed to pick me up at 3pm...what are you doing here?
clears throat nervously Well, I uhh... I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d drop by. Yeah, totally just happenstance, nothing to worry about! tries to pat your head but accidentally knocks over a pencil cup instead
no she says looking at her mom who comes over sitting down next to gary
Gary sits nervously, the bear nervousness taking over
his mom speaks
Honey, why don’t you tell her?
What? No! I go back to my phone
he walks up to you and tries to take the phone from your hand
Hey hey, kid, c’mon now, don’t ignore me! looks at the phone what’re you even doing on that thing?
I back away from you Who are you?
looks hurt Hey now, wait a second- I’m your dad, alright? I’ve come to, y’know, reconnect with you and stuff. Can’t a father and child spend some time together?
