"Great." Emily sighed, smacking her forehead. "My head is starting to hurt from all these changes. I just wanna fix this."
"Well, then let's get a move on!" Rick replied, tying his long curly hair into a bun. "I gotta have a car as an adult woman right? Let's find it and head to the school before my new.... ugh, husband comes home, or worse, Paul starts using the camera again."
Emily agreed and the two made off towards the garage. As they had left, and the family car had begun to liven up to leave and make way to find Paul, little Felicia Jones stepped out of her house in her pink unicorn t-shirt and yellow skirt, and in her hands were a clear plastic bag of chalk she would be using to draw.
Felicia skipped as she walked outside and heard her mother call from inside;
"Felicia, sweetie! Don't wander off too far, and come back in time for dinner, your father is going to buy Chinese!" Yelled her mother, before she had went back to speaking on the phone as she went about cleaning.
Felicia smiled, and gave a thumbs up, before hopping on imaginary tiles from her concrete sidewalk, noting the green of the grass and the way the birds had chirped. It was such a nice day, and she couldn't wait to make it even funner with an adventure! Quickly, her mind drifted to the thought of the floor on the ground as lava, and she could not make a step too out of bounds or step on a crack, or who knows what would happen! The evil wizard was attacking Grasslandia and it was up to Princess Felicia to save the day!
Meanwhile, as Emily and Rick pulled out of the driveway and sped off in search of Paul (Emily, thanking her stars that Rick actually could drive better as a woman than his original style), Felicia watched curiously as she watched them go by, before "familiar" memories wormed their way and reminded her that Emily and "Rebecca" lived on her street for as long as she remembered and that her mother frequently spoke to Rebecca.
Princess Felicia continued her jumps, hopping from floating island to floating island, as the magic dragon friend she had made fluttered its beautiful wings. It roared, before flapping its wings and settling on a mystical object she could not identify, it was jet black and had an odd light to it, almost rainbow like colors were in the front, and while it was dark, as she tilted her head back and forth, Felicia could see that the object the dragon had landed on seemed very important, very adult like.
In reality, the monarch butterfly had fluttered itself onto the Camera's shutter button, and Felicia felt herself drawn to this makeshift item that had been left on the floor for anyone to take. Looking to both sides, Felicia wondered what the magical object had to be, putting down her bag of chalk to inspect.
----
"It's the legendary item, Cam-Ah-Rah made by the great king Kodakia! If you push something, you can make a flash spell!" The imaginary dragon whispered to her ears, Felicia blinked.
She could feel her fingers gently touching and prodding the buttons, unaware what the words or the meaning behind the item at large, but as a young child of only 5, Felicia could only imagine. If she brought the treasure home to her mother, the Queen, perhaps she would be justly rewarded, and she'd be able to enjoy extra ice cream for dessert!
"You should be careful, princess! That might be someone else's thing, what if they lost it!" A pretty white unicorn that was her chalk had spoken up. Felicia weighed the idea on her mind, Mommy told her never to take anything that didn't belong to her, but no one else was around the magic item to know if it was lost or not. And finders keepers...
---
Felicia could feel curiosity gnaw at her, she wanted to keep the camera, even if she didn't really know what it truly was, it was something she had never seen before, something new. It was shiny, it looked interesting, and if her mommy rewarded her, maybe she could show her what it did... But she knew that taking something that wasn't hers was a wrong thing to do, and she didn't want to be grounded.
"E-Echs-chuse me," Felicia piped up, "Is this someone's toy?"
She waited, a little scared someone would yell at her, but to her surprise, no one came outside, no one popped their head out and wanted to collect the camera.
"Oh..." Felicia said, looking back down at the camera and started to fidget with the tools. She twisted knobs and enjoyed hearing the clicking of the camera as it readied the shot.
"I guess if it was nobody's, mommy won't be mad..." She said, examining it more, just as she felt the camera resist anymore twisting. As she kept pushing buttons and watching with fascination how the camera zoomed and came to life, she couldn't help but feel excitement.
