[Monday, October 3]

KT and Katherine waited by collecting a pile of books from the kid section, sat down at a table, and began to read.

"We'll fill up a whole month of Book Buddy!" Katherine smirked.

"Yeah!" KT agreed.

The two began to read quietly, until one of them had to go potty...

"I'll be back..." KT said.

"You're gonna go alone?" Katherine asked.

"Im a big girl." KT smirked as she went to the bathroom.

She pushed open the big door and went to the first stall that was open. The first two were being used, so the third one was her choice.

As she sat down, she heard shuffling from the stall next to her. Her nerves began to bounce.

Calm down KT... You're a big girl.

But she wasn't calming down. She realized that her feet were swinging rapidly, so she stopped them.

The person next door open their stall and walked to the sinks. KT watched the person's feet.

She had finished, but didn't flush just yet. The person dried their hands and dropped their keys by accident.

"Mommy?!"

"KT? KT!"

KT flushed and ran to her mother, almost hugging her with dirty hands.

"You okay? What's wrong?" Her mother asked.

"I was a bit scared to be alone in here..." She whispered.

"Hey, what's all the ruckus?" Came another Toadette out of the first stall.

"Grandma!" KT hugged her grandmother.

"Hello little Katri!" Her grandmother smirked,"I saw your friend waiting for you."

"That's Katherine! Let's go!"

Her grandmother washed her hands and the three went to Katherine, who stared at them.

"I'm seeing three KTs..." Katherine said.

The three Toadette laughed.

"Come, I'm Katri's grandma." The grandma Toadette took Katherine's hand.

"Wheeee!" Violet cheered,"Higher!"

Mystery pushed the swing so her little sister could "reach the sky."

That gave her an idea. She tapped Violet and the little girl began to float upwards.

"H-huh? I'm flying!" Violet squealed.

Then she began to go too high,"N-Natalie!"

Natalie tried,"I can't stop it!"

That was when Positive appeared again to bring down Violet. She glared at Mystery,"I told you not to use your magic on her..."

The three went to the Mario household.

"Violet what happened? What did you do?!" Mrs. Mario said.

"I-I didn't do anything!"

"Don't near my daughter again!" Mrs. Mario was about to close the door.

"But I am your daughter!" Mystery blurted out.

"What?" Mrs. Mario's face went pale.

Mystery's cheeks were tear stained. Violet cried out to her, but Natalie Mario did exactly what she had done years ago...

She ran away.

I sorta got myself sad with this.
