"kill her." lilo said blankly, her eyes looking up worriedly. iris gaped her mouth open, shaking her head rapidly. "I'll break the law, I don't want to go to jail." iris whimpered, falling to her fragile knees.

they pondered in thought, and lilo said what came to her mind and what her vocabulary could bring her too. "it's gross and scary."

"nu-uh. butterflies are not scary, look it has bootyful wings." the tiny girl brought her hands forward, making the stranger flinch and scream. lilo sighed, taking it back and she stared at the girl in boredom. "well, you still can't kill it cause I'm her mom."

the toothless brunette furrowed her brows and leaned down to scratch her knees from the itchy grass-field. "lier! you're not even a bug!"

"I don't have to be!"

"yes you do!"

iris clenched her fists so hard that she felt a squish in her soft palm. she frowned, opening her hand to reveal the dead butterfly. what started as a whimper turned into a sobbing mess. "i don't want to go to jail!"

the girl across from her sucked in her lips, feeling bad. "I'll go to jail with you, so you will have a friend." she stopped crying, shaking her head along. "but first we have to hide the evaydensity, and if the cops find it then well go together."

the once crying girl furrowed her eyebrows and wondered if she meant evidence but still followed along. they both started walking toward a river, leaning down to the stream. she sniffled and released it back to let it sink and bury itself on it's own.

"now we have to be careful." the brunette inquired, raising her finger to make a point.

"oh, look! a fishy!"
