Bunch of her past memories flashes in the blink of an eye , she took a deep breath while closing her eyes then exhales it just after opening it back, trying to settle down her nerves. She thought of staying temporarily back to her old house and finding a part time job nearby so she could pay for college and her needs . 

She insert the spare key into the key hole while clutching the doorknob . The inside of the house remain the same as the last time she remembered . This bring her back nostalgia. She wonders to herself why they had to move to another state when they could stay here in this house if they already have all the things needed "It's perfect here why do we need to move? " her head voice suddenly reminds her of the thing she said as her young self, she brushes it off and continue to pack in all her things .. After what felt like a few hours, the sun is almost set, it's good that I should explore more around the town. She wore her usual t-shirt with a duck printed on it and a teal coat as an overlay. 

She began exploring around the neighborhood with the bike she saw earlier. It felt as if she were back to her childhood, all the house still in the same kind of condition. I wonder if the neighbors live here are still the same, if so do they still recognize me- Then she arrived at the town. It all look way different than she used to remember. Shops she used to go have been replaced with a different brand, but some still stays except it's renovated or improved.

It makes her kind of upset that her favorite dessert shop got replaced by a frickin shoe shop. While she was still looking around town, she saw an unusual van.

It was nothing suspicious but just an ordinary van with well decorated and vibrant color that attracts her eyes. It's just Marcy trying to make it a fuss. When she was about to check the van, something approach her from the back. She felt as if her anxiety went up to the limit that she was about to get kidnap... She immediately backs up  and turn her back towards the person- it's reveal to be a flower girl wearing a scarf thingy on her head with and an apron while holding basket full of flowers.. 

" Umm , excuse me ? " the girl spoke softly. Marcy immediately tries to keep her cool but still fails. 

"I can't help but notice you look pretty lonely here, would you like some flowers?" She offers. Marcy nervously looking at her up and down not knowing what to do. She politely hands the flower towards Marcy while giving her a sweet smile.

" it's a free flower day after all. Here take one." Marcy starts panting. Her hand jitters and her view of the normal looking flower changes to just like what she used to see when she was young. Her not knowing how to control her reaction since it's been a long time she'd last experience it, the only thing she's aiming for was to get it away. In her defense, she swipe it away from the florist's hand because it was the first thing that had come across her mind . Her face was full of sweat as if she had seen a ghost. 

oh god. oh god.. oh god.. oh god!!

"I-IM SORRY!!' Marcy apologized frantically. Her face shows a huge guilt
