  Vivienne arrived at Rose's place after getting away from Delaila. Rose welcomed the lost girl in and lead her to the kitchen. The two got to work making mini pumpkin pies and bacon. Vivienne sadly didn't do much, Rose didn't want her to get her dress messy or to mess up her makeup. But Vivienne isn't one to miss a learning opportunity, she took note of everything Rose did. Once all the baking and cleaning was done, Rose packed up all the food on to a tray, covered it up, and tied an orange ribbon to it. Vivienne thanked her repeatedly and went in search for Clarence.
After walking only a few houses down from Rose's, Vivienne ran into a tall man dressed in all red. The man looked down at Vi and stopped her. "Hello little girl, Whatcha got in the tray there? It smells delicious. Did Rose make them for you?" The red man asked. Vivienne got bad vibes from him and just kept walking. "You don't ignore ME, little girl!" The red man snatched the tray from her and took a pie. "HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!" Vivienne yelled trying to get her tray back. the man took a bite of the pie and a strip of bacon. Vivienne made some crystals and floated the tray back to her hands. The red man, satisfied with what he got walked away. Vivienne thew a crystal at his head and ran away.
Vivienne made it to the park where she found Clarence feeding a bunny. "CLARENCE!!" Vivienne shouted as she ran towards him. Clarence looked up and the bunny ran away frightened by Vivienne's loud voice. Vivienne sat down next to him and put the tray in between them. "V-Vivienne, w-what are you doing here?" Clarence studdered a little embarrassed that Vivienne saw him. "Was that a bunny you were feeding? They're sooo cute! I've always wanted to feed one and pet their soft fur!" Clarence took a carrot from his jacket and lured one out. "This is Carron. He's a real ladies man. At least that's what he thinks." The bunny had ginger spots all over his white body. Vivienne smiled and petted the soft fur. "OMG HES SOOOOOOO CUTE EE!" Vivienne squealed. Clarence told her to keep her voice down so she didn't scare the bunnies. "So, why are you here again?" asked Clarence. "OH right!" Vivienne opened the try and gave it to him. "This is a thank you for reading into my past." Clarence blushed. "Well, uh, thanks! It's my favorite too. I'm sorry I couldn't see much, even if I tried I couldn't see more than that memory..." Vivienne looked down at the pies with a serious expression. "Clarence... What was I yelling... Could you give me more details?" Asked Vivienne. "Well, you were wearing a white dress that looked like one of ancient Greece. Your hair was done all fancy too and you were wearing that crown of yours. You were screaming to your parents something about not wanting to do something. Then you were yanked and grabbed by... something black. That's all I could see." Clarence said. Once again thoughts spiraled in her head. White dress? I don't own a white dress. and I never do my hair any more than pulling back some hair. What was I doing? Why was I doing it? What was grabbing me? Why didn't my parents help me? Clarence saw the thoughtful face on the Lost Girl. He lured out some more bunnies That jumped on her. "Hehe HEY!" "FLUFFLE PILE!!" Clarence yelled as the bunnies jumped on Vivienne. The two laughed and ate pies and bacon all afternoon. When evening fell and stars came out, the bunnies when back to their burrows to sleep while the 2 kids looked to the sky. Vivienne, using the dirt around her, made tiny glowing crystals in all different colors float about them like fireflies (or the lanterns in Tangled's boat scene). "Hey Vi, don't tell anyone about my soft side... I like being known as a tough guy and don't want it getting out that I'm... ya know soft." Clarence said. Vivienne looked at him with a smile and laid down in the grass. Crystals floated about them, softly glowing in a variety of colors. Clarence laid back in the grass with Vivienne. "A tough guy is cool don't get me wrong. But a guy with a soft side, in my opinion, is...cute! Not to mention the good things about a soft side! A tough guy who doesn't have a soft side is annoying! Your soft side is... nice! It keeps you friendly! Hiding it is pointless. You show almost every day when you hang out with us! Your helpful, sweet, kind, all because of your soft side!" Vivienne said looking at the sky. Clarence looked at Vivienne with a pink face. Vivienne shaped some of the crystals into a string puppet. She moved her fingers as if she was controlling it. The puppet danced and flipped. She 'handed' the strings to Clarence. He tried doing what he had seen Vivienne doing. But instead of dancing and flipping, the puppet got tangled up. Vivienne giggled. "HEY! You're the one whos controlling it!" Clarence said. Eventually, it got late and they had to part. Vivienne got up and the crystals vanished. "Mind if I come back next Saturday?" Vivienne asked. Clarence sat up. "Well, I guess if you bring more bacon or your own carrots" Vivienne laughed. She bent down and hugged Clarence still on the ground. "See you at school!" Vivienne said. "Vivienne wait! Before you run home, Um you looked really nice today!" Clarence said smiling. On her way home, Vivienne heard screaming behind her. "GET BACK HERE JONNY!! JUST WAIT TILL I GET MY KNIFE ON YOU!!" Just then the red man she had encountered before ran past her and into an alley. Following him was a girl dressed in blue with floating knives all around her. Vivienne wanting revenge on the red man tapped the girl on the shoulder. Vivienne put a finger to her mouth. She bent down to the rocky ground. A HUGE crystal spiked from the ground with the red man dangling from his hoodie. The blue lady smiled at Vivienne. Blue lady started for the crystal. Vivienne smoothed the side so she could run up it like a ramp. The red man saw her coming and ripped his hoodie to get away. once the blue lady was off the crystal, Vivienne returned it to back to its normal self. and continued home.
