All right, we've found our practice spot. Let's head back home.

Indeed.

Umm, excuse me!

Oh? You're the little girl from earlier.

Yes. Thank you for taking care of my little sister before.

You're welcome. But, you didn't have to come back just to say that. It was no big deal.

No, really! You saved us!

What a nice young girl. She's still so young, but she seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

She does.

Hey, hey! Miss!

Huh? Me? What is it?

Hi, Miss. Are you a witch?

A witch?

Yeah! 'Cause you cast that magic spell to make all the pain go away!

Oh, I get it now.

Yup, that's right. Both of us are witches!

Huh? M-Me as well?!

Really?! Wooow! Umm, I wanna be a witch when I grow up, too!

You do? You're just like us, then.

Yeah!

It's getting late. Should we go home?

No! I wanna play with the magic ladies!

I'm sorry, but we were just about to leave. You two should head on home now too, okay?

Nooo! I wanna play!

*Chuckle* I suppose I have no choice then. Come here. Since we don't have any more time to be together, let me give you a hug to make up for it.

Okay…

We'll meet again one day, so don't be sad. But you have to go home for today, all right?

Okay.

That's a good girl. It's time to say bye-bye for now.

Okay. Bye-bye!

Thank you very much.

You really are a big sister at heart, Dia. You seem to really understand how little kids feel.

She reminded me of a young Ruby. I couldn't just ignore her.
