This time there were a few scattered hands raised, somewhat nervously. Nobody seemed sure of what Leslie had in mind for this. But one hand seemed to be bouncing up and down with excitement, and Leslie homed in on that.
"Yes, you there, come up on stage please".
Gloria followed Lesily's gaze to see who it was. As it turned out, it was an overexcited ten-year-old girl jumping up and down raising her hand with her mother trying to get her hand back down. As soon as the little girl saw her pointing to her and calling her out she jumped off the chair and rushed to the stage as the mother got up and walked briskly after her daughter.
“Huh… A mother and daughter now. Wonder what she is planning for those two.” Gloria thought.
Once the two reached the stage, Lesily got a good look at the two. The girl was a skinny ten-year-old and was wearing a pink sundress with a pair of pink sandals with gems on the straps. Her sandy blonde hair was long and was done up in a ponytail, and her ears had pink diamond earrings on them.
As for the mother, she looked to be 35 years old and had a fit body. She was wearing a form fitting white crop top holding her D-cup breasts, and faded Capri pants fitting snugly on her wide hips and muffin top. Lesily noted a C-section scar on her stomach. She wore a pair of fashionable snow boots. Her exposed arms were toned, with a bit of flab, and sported two tattoos - a red-eyed skull and crossbones with flames in the background on one arm, and a cobra with a human heart in its mouth on the other. Her beautiful face had high cheekbones with faint lines and crow's feet around her eyes, nose, and mouth. Her light brown hair was in a short and spiky bob cut with gray tips on them. As she came closer to hug her excited daughter, Lesily could tell she cared about her very much.
Lesily looked at the two and decided to introduce them. “Well, I asked for one volunteer but got two! Introduce yourselves to the audience please!”
“Very well…" said the mother, looking at the audience nervously. "My name if Amanda and I own a music shop.”
“A music shop. Does that explain those tattoos on your arms?” she asked her.
“Yes. I was a young and rebellious child with a strong taste in tasteless music." The audience laughed a little at that, making her smile and relax a bit. "But growing up, I understood more about how music worked, and built my shop to have everyone share my musical tastes. I want to raise my dear daughter for a better future.”
Hearing that, Lesily turned to the daughter and said, “And what’s your name, sweetie?”
The little girl turned to her with a big smile and said, “My name is Candace, but my friends call me Candy.”
“So tell me, Candy, are you enjoying the show?”
“Yes, Ms. Lesily", said Candy with a nod. "It's been really fun so far! Hey little guy!" she giggled, waving at Josh. Still hiding behind his father's legs, the toddler nonetheless smiled and waved back, and Daniel smiled as well.
"You just saw what I did with Josh and Daniel..."
"Wait, you did something?" said Daniel, confused, as the audience laughed. Lesily sighed and snapped her fingers, making both Josh and Daniel go back into a trance.
"Sorry about that. As I was saying, you saw what I just did with those two. I asked for someone to join them and you volunteered. May I ask why?"
"Wellll..." said Candy shyly, fidgeting in place. "I always wanted to know what it was like to be a grown-up and have a family of my own. Mom worked so hard to take care of me, so I know it's difficult... but I'm ready to try! Also Daniel is kinda cute, I really liked seeing his life story and want to help him..."
Amanda gave a bit of a nervous chuckle and said, “Let’s just say my sweet Candy has quite the imagination. But like... you're not really going to make her Daniel's wife right?”
"Is that what you want, Candy?" asked Lesily.
The little girl nodded.
"Now wait just a minute..." said Amanda, starting to get alarmed, but Lesily flashed her crystal, making the mother go into a trance.
Then Lesily turned to look at Candy. "Do you love your mother?"
Candy nodded. "A lot".
"Do you want to give her a better life?"
"Yes". Her eyes sparkled.
"Very well!" she said dramatically as Candy clapped her hands with excitement. "How shall we do this?"
