『Ghastly's POV』
~

I looked over at the side table next to the couch I was sitting on in my office. The red velvet stuck out from the black colour of everything, really. I bet Batman could easily sneak through the cover of the night. Not so much Nightwing though...

I looked at the single photo frame set on the table. It was an old photo frame, sure, but the photo was just as old as it was.

The photo, in question, was a picture of Polly and I as kids, smiling at the camera. Polly was holding her wrist up, showing a watch on it.

I picked the picture up and stared at it, lost in thought. That picture was the day I gave Polly her well-known watch after all...

My mind started to wonder back to that day, that day when we were just innocent kids, not knowing what the future has in store for us....

『Child!Ghastly's POV』
~

I finished wrapping up the present I was going to give to Polly for her birthday. It was a watch that my parents had designed with their company, Bespoke Enterprises. She wanted to become a forensic scientist, so I decided that this was the best choice.

The car that I was in came to a stop, so I got out and waved goodbye to the driver, rushing up to Polly's front door and ringing the doorbell.

She opened the door and smiled at me. "Ghastly! You're here!"

I nodded. "Yup! I promised you I'd come, remember?" I flicked my hair sidewards, making sure not to cover up anything like a coward.

Polly jumped upwards, her short hair flying around. "All right! You're the best, Ghastly!" She said as she grabbed my hand.

I tilted my head. "What are you-"

"Come on!" She yelled as she tugged me into her house, running up the stairs and finally shoving me into a decorated room.

Polly twirled around in her blue and white dress. "Like it? I made it especially for the two of us to play in!"

I nodded, bringing out her present and giving it to her. "Hey, I almost forgot! Here's your present!"

She gasped. "Aw, yay! A present from Ghastly!" She grabbed the present and started to unwrap it. "Hey, who did the wrapping? It's really good!"
