[Your POV]

David ended up needing to go into town to get some things from the store, and I decided to go with him.

While casually listening to music in the car, David brought up a few topics.

"So, how's Camp Camp been treating you so far?"

I shrugged.

"It's pretty nice. The woods in the surrounding area is pretty fun to scout out, despite Max's constant saltiness."

David smiled a bit and nodded. More houses started to pop up from the horizon, letting me assume that the town was nearby.

"H-hey Dadvid?"

     David hummed with his usual smile.

"D-do you think we could stop at the orphanage? I have an old friend there, and I really miss her."

     He smiled widely, and nodded eagerly.

"I can probably let you guys chit chat while I do my shopping?"

     I hesitated.

"I-I could always help with that too!"

     He seemed to smile wider. Kinda creepy.

"Gosh, you are just the most helpful little one I know!"

     I smiled, looking down to my hands.

"I-I just want to be a good step daughter."

     He parked the car in front of the orphanage and looked me in the eyes.

"I couldn't ask for a better daughter."

     I felt my eyes watering as I forcefully hugged David, smiling wider than he did.

"T-thank you."

     He hugged back, and I could feel his smiling. After a comfortingly long hug, I let him go.

"W-well, I guess I should be going. Seeya in..?"

     I left the goodbye unfinished.

"Howbout an hour?"

     He asked, and I nodded.

"Perfect. Thanks Dadvid!"

     I yelled to him before jumping out of the car. I walked through the orphanage (A/N actually almost wrote asylum) until I found my old room, and carefully opened the door.

"Lyyyyyyyraaaaaaaa~"

     My good old lazy friend Lyra shot out of bed and smiled psychotically.

     And then I was pinned to the floor.

"Y/N! YOU'RE BACK! Wait... Why are you back?!"
