AN: A ficlet I came up with last night that I couldn't shake off. Leave me a review!

Again, no beta. All mistakes are mine. Standard disclaimers apply.


She finds a mop of brown hair hunched over at the end of the candy aisle.

Picking up a bag of Maltesers and some gummy worms, she makes her way to the counter, passing by the little tot seemingly wrestling something on her limbs.

As Amy walks by, her tiny head snaps up to her, eyebrows knit together in obvious frustration.

"You okay?," she asks, tipping her head to the side.

The child cranes her neck and looks up to her, eyes wide and embarrassed.

Amy points at her tiny hands wrapped tight around her pink glittery shoelaces and asks, "Do you need help with that?"

The little human bobs her head enthusiastically at Amy adding "Yes, please."

As she bends down to help her with her shoes, she continues,

"There you go, little lady!," she chirps as she makes one final tug to tighten the knot.

The older girl offers her hand and tiny little fingers wrap around hers.

"Mommy says I should only ask pretty ones to help me with my laces."

At that Amy laughs.

When she looks down, she finds the little one staring up at her so she aks "What?"

She's looking at her like she's deciding on something, lips caught between tiny teeth.

"I think you're pretty enough," she answers before proceeding to drag the blonde along.

"Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you to my mommy," she answers matter of factly.

"Why are we doing that?"

She stops in her tracks, turns around to face her, a sheepish grin plastered on her face.

"Sorry. Mommy says I should always ask nicely," she explains, tucking her curls behind one ear.

"Can you please help me find my mommy?"

Blinking up at her wildly, Amy doesn't expect anyone to be able to say no to this little thing so she nods her head amusedly.

"What does your mommy look like?," the blonde inquires, turning her head and scanning the aisles.

"She's the prettiest."


I will definitely continue this but I'm afraid I might not be able to handle two active stories at once so I'm just leaving this here. Let me know what you think! xo
