[back on Skeletor-Marina]
[After both girls rested, their relationship has been improved. It was still kind of rocky, but it has been better in a long time. Everyone was in the royal study helping Loathing find a cure for the curse]
Loathing: [bangs head on desk and groans]
Linger: [had already given up a long time ago n was dozing off on the desk, snorting a little wen he heard the banging] Mmrrhhmm! No...No sprinklezzz.... [went bk to sleep]
Amanda: [rolled her eyes] How did he evr passed his school exams, I will nvr knw. Got anything yet, furball? [called Wonder by her nickname she used to give her wen they weren't tight, bt now she doesnt say it in malice, bt more like a sort-of semi-friendly teasing manner, like wen they were still kids]
Wonder: [goans and put her book down] Nothing...How about you Toni?
Toni: [has join Linger in sleepy land]
Wonder: [rolls eyes] Right...Dazzle how about you?
Dazzle: [making gross gaging sounds] Nothing but I found the history of Skeletor's mating guides [fling the book somewhere]
Abe: I hv a feeling Linger might've read tht frm cover to cover. He's known to flirt a LOT with other Skeletors. Other SPECIES for tht matter
Amanda: He's just as promiscuous as his mother, tht's for sure [rolled eyes] Anything on ur end, Hope?
Hope: Sorry, no. Miracle is still helping us to get more books. I still nvr got to thank u for letting him be Head Librarian of the Royal Study, Loathing. He loves books, n its a good plc for him to...u knw, to be at ease with being quiet
Loathing: [looks up from desk] Hope he is my brother. Besides he is good at his job. Also, have you heard anything from the school yet?
Miracle: [returns with a cart filled with book. Then handed everyone one. He also woke Toni and Linger up by bonking them on the head. Then went to sit by Wonder. Besides being close to his twin and Zest. Miracle was close to Wonder, seeing both are stuggling with depression. He look up to her even more now knowing her struggle with her memory.]
Wonder: [smiled at him and started to sign] How have been you feeling?
Miracle: [Another thing he love about Wonder she does not baby him like the others. She gives him tools to be more independent, like teach him how to sign. He has been trying to teach Hope too. But, it has not been going well. Only people that knows are Wonder, Loathing, Linger, and him] Good can't believe that this is happening? Ya know...I guess everything makes sense now [looks sad]
Wonder: Hey, no negative thoughts now! Think positive! We'll find a cure you see!
Miracle: [just smiles] Thanks
Linger: [snorts awake, looked at the cart full of books n groaned, burying his head onto the desk to go bk to sleep]
Hope: [hesitated for a moment at Loathing's question n looked dwn for a moment, then mumbled] Yeah... I...turned it dwn
Abe: Again? Seriously, Hope, tht was ur best shot at being the artist u always wanted. Ur works are phenomenal, n tht school was ur last shot. Anymore n u will be too old to be eligible for ANY school. There's no more strings Loathing can help u pull anymore
Hope: I knw, bt... Miracle needs me. I can't just leave him behind. He can't function without me. He needs me to translate his words, he can't communicate with ppl without me. I'm the only who can hear thru his words n speak it out for him. If I leave him alone to go pursue my arts, he would hv a nervous breakdwn. Hv u forgotten wat happened to Miracle wen I went away for a week to help Zest in one of his misadventures?
Wonder: [Look dissapointed at Hope] Hope...
Miracle: [stood and charged at his brother and made him look at him. He glare angerly at Hope] Loathing translate! I CAN communticate without you. I'm doing it right now. If people can't understand my signs then I'll write. But, don't you dare give up your dreams for me. Yes, I'm sorry I did that when you went with Zest. But realize it was a few months after that day and I was still raw from it. Now it has been seven years Hope. Seven Years. Yes, I may still suffer from panic attacks but I have my tools I learn from therapy and the support of our other siblings to help me besides you. It is time brother to move on with our lives...
Loathing: [translated to everyone. He was proud of Miracle taking a stand and spacking some sense into Hope. The next part made him grin]
Miracle: You're also lucky that I foresaw you doing this again. [Pulls out a paper and handed it to Hope] I summited your profolio to Utatar Art University of Performing Arts. You got accepted and YOU are going to attend next fall. It is close to home so you can see me. but far enough sp you can start your own life. [looks at Hope pleading] Brother I not the only one who needs to let go of the past. But, it feels like I am the only one trying.
Hope: Wha--?? [sees the paper] Utatar? Tht's... U shouldnt hv... I... [knew Utatar was also a pretty good school tht produced amazing students. Maybe not as good as all the high classes royal schools tht he had turned dwn left n right, bt it was within the Top 20 art schools in the galaxy] I... I can't... U were so freaked out, u were practically hyperventilating wen I came bk, n u were hiding in the dark corner of the room for weeks, n u would scream evrytime anyone other than family approached u n u wouldnt let me out of ur sight aftr u finally came out of hiding... I... I dont want it to happen again... N u still hv those night terrors... I... I dont wanna lose u... [which was also one of the reasons he didnt want to accept learning sign languages bcoz he didnt want to lose the connection, the dependency Miracle had on him, n the feeling of being alone n not needed by his younger twin anymore]
Miracle: [Look pleadly at Hope]
Wonder: [gets up and faces Hope] Hope, that was seven years ago. Yes Miracle will face panic attacks still. I suffer from panic attacks still. But, what your doing is hurt Miracle and yourself.
Dazzle: [comes up as well] Sweetie, Your making him feel like he'll never a fuctioning member of soceity and all the while you are not having a life. Tell us Hope are you happy? And tell us the truth
Hope: [looked at them for a while n sighed as he sat dwn, the paper still in his hand] N-No... Not reli... I mean, family comes first, n Miracle needs me, bt... seeing my friends enrolling into those schools n calling me to tell me abt their school days n hearing them berating me abt not joining... It hurts... [looked abt at the study at some of his paintings tht Loathing hung for him to decorate the plc] I want... I want to paint... I want to show the world my art, I want to show the whole galaxy of my art... I want to express myself more than just in my own room, my own studio cooped up in this palace... I...
Linger: Then do it, Hope. Evn tho I grieve for Mom n Dad, I chose my rock star profession n I nvr regretted a single bit. Do it, for ur sake, if not for Miracle. U deserve much more. U've been looking aftr Mira for 7 yrs, 7 yrs wasted on ur gift. Its time, sweetie. Zest would've said the same thing if he were here.
Hope: [another long pause later...] ....Yeah. Ur right. I should...
PA system: Attention Emperor Loathing. Zest n Dipper has returned n are on their way to ur location to request an audience
Miracle: [nods and smiles] I'll also drag you there kicking and screaming if I have too
Loathing: [translate again] I second that motion [hears PA] Let get those two so they can help.
Linger: Huh, they're bk a little early frm their trip
