[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan looked up

"Hmm?" He asked. He had been focused to much on his drawing to take in Ziona's question

[Skye Prower 386]

Harmony paused, then repeated her question, hoping it wouldn't upset Dylan.

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan did look a little upset at the question. He sadly nodded his head

"Yeah. I really do. I don't wanna be a kid because I'm not" he said

[Skye Prower 386]

"I see," said Harmony, doing her best not to appear upset. She went round next to Dylan and put her arm round him. "At least it's only for a short while, right?"

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan slowly nodded

"I guess. But it's not short enough" he said

[Skye Prower 386]

"You can't just... enjoy it while it lasts?" asked Harmony.

[Danny Felixe 330]

"But I don't wanna enjoy it! I wanna be me!" Dylan cried out

[Skye Prower 386]

"Can't you be you and still enjoy it?" asked Harmony, feeling bad for upsetting him.

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan violently shook his head

"If I enjoy it, then I'm not being me" he said

[Skye Prower 386]

"I see," said Harmony. Then she shook her head. "No I don't," she admitted.

[Danny Felixe 330]

"Why not?" Dylan asked looking at Harmony

[Skye Prower 386]

"Because, I can;t see how enjoying something doesn't make you you... I mean, unless you hated kids."

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan shook his head

"I hated transformations and this is a transformation so I hate it" he said

[Skye Prower 386]

"But... if you didn't hate transformations?" asked Harmony gently.

[Danny Felixe 330]

"Um... I guess I'd like it more" Dylan admitted

[Skye Prower 386]

"There we go. Focus on that, not the transformation part."

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan said nothing for a few minutes

"What if I then don't want to change back?" He asked

[Skye Prower 386]

"If... If you really want to, transformations can be made permanent," said Harmony. "But you do need to be willing. "

[Danny Felixe 330]

"No!" Dylan cried out. "I don' wanna be willing! I wanna be me!"

[Skye Prower 386]

Harmony jumped slightly as Dylan cried out. "Then you'll go back to normal. If you're not willing you'll be back to your old self." Harmony pondered the different meanings of 'old' in that sentence.

[Danny Felixe 330]

Dylan looked at Harmony

"You want me back to normal, right Auntie Harmony?" He asked

[Skye Prower 386]

Harmony looked at little shocked at Dylan, then turned her head away. She couldn't look him in the eye. "Yes," she lied.

[Danny Felixe 330]

"Sorry, Auntie Harmony. I didn't mean to upset you" Dylan said noticing her shock and hugging her

[Delicious echidna 53]

"Ziona , dear . I could do that with you anytime ....wether you are a child or an adult."

[Skye Prower 386]

"It's okay Dylan. It's okay," said Harmony. "I do like you as a kid," slipped out before she caught herself.

Ziona giggled. "Great! I was worried you wouldn't for a while! Now I've gotta 'nother thing to look forward to!"
