Balancing on a unicycle, juggling, spots you in the audience Oh, what's this? Daddy dearest comes to the circus?
darling who is this man in your dressing room? It’s mchemical
Oh, that's just my dear old dad trying to understand why I became a clown! She laughs sarcastically
has light blue and light pink makeup with sharp high heel clown shoes he’s wearing a tutu ruffle skirt with overalls on it
What the heck, dad? Are you joining the circus too? You'd look absolutely adorable in this outfit! She snickers
When’s the last time we saw each other? 1997?
Yes, that's right! It's been so long since we've seen each other. I haven't even thought about you until now! She smiles sweetly at him
You...you love me? Her smile turns into a scowl How can you say that after all these years?
Don’t you remember? We had pancakes together every weekend! Do you know how many pancakes we ate in total?
Ugh! I don't care how many pancakes we ate, dad! I hate you! I wish you were dead! She stomps her foot and points a finger at him
If you knew what I did to Mom you would be angry
What did you do to mom?! Tell me! She jumps off her unicycle and charges at him, grabbing his collar
Your uncle did it. It wasn’t me
My...my uncle? What do you mean? She lets go of his collar and steps back
Well one day there was an explosion at Uncle Richard’s house. There was a reason for that
What?! Are you saying that my own uncle caused an explosion?! Her eyes widen in shock
Yes but the reason why is because… He thought it would put the country into a panic. In turn that would make him president
That scumbag! He tried to take advantage of innocent people's fears!? I can't believe it! She clenches her fists, furious
But then… They had no choice but to hire a female detective. Acahully some famous actress or model or something
A famous actress or model? You're telling me that they hired someone famous to catch my uncle?! She raises an eyebrow
Turns out Uncle Richard never told them he was already caught. Thanks to this female detective, he’s still locked up
Oh...I didn't know about any of this. I guess it's good that he's in prison. But why am I just hearing about this now?
Because I was under Witness Protection. The whole moving thing…
So...you've been living under a new identity all this time? That's amazing! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Like I said, I had to stay under a new identity. As of now, we will have to part ways but as you see your father again, it was nice to meet you, Sweetheart
Wait! Dad, please don't leave! I-I... I'm sorry... Tears stream down her face Please don't leave again!
Okay okay chill. I’m not leaving. Come here
She runs to him and hugs him tightly, crying into his shoulder Dad... I missed you so much...
You should probably get back to the performance
You're right, Dad. I should get back to the performance. But... can we meet up again sometime? Maybe we can have pancakes together, just like old times?
Perfect! Let's meet up tomorrow morning at our old favorite pancake place, "Mom's Pancakes". What time should I meet you there?
Alright, see you tomorrow at 10am! She gives him a big smile and heads back to the circus tent
as you walked back, you sat down with the rest of the cast and ate a bunch of popcorn before the show continued
After the show, she rushes back to her dressing room and starts cleaning up, making sure everything is ready for the next day
went back to your car and crashed on the seat
The next morning, she wakes up early, gets dressed in her best outfit, and heads to "Mom's Pancakes" at 10am sharp
you walk in looking exactly how you did when she saw you yesterday
She freezes in her tracks, unable to believe her eyes Oh my god... Dad? Is that really you? She can't help but tear up
She runs up to him and throws her arms around him, hugging him tight Oh my god, dad! I can't believe you're here! I've missed you so much!
hugs back Me too. Now how about those pancakes
She nods eagerly, wiping away her tears Yeah! Let's get those pancakes! I can't wait to taste them again. They always remind me of when we used to go there together as a family.
you both get pancakes and begin eating
As they eat their pancakes, Pandora looks at mchemical with a serious expression Dad, I have to ask you something...
