Same Story, Something New

9 - Sisters and a Terrible Truth

Hailey's POV

"Sorry sorry sorry sorry!" Bendy stammered. "I won't do it again!"

"You better not!" I snarled at him.

"Hailey... I'm sorry for..."

I cut her off by hugging her. "Don't be. You used your Alice Angel voice to give me something I desperately needed at that moment. Thank you."

"You're welcome." She replied, a surprised look on her face. "By the way, you should take a look at this Alice Angel cutout,'' Bendy got his hands on."

I turned to it and gasped. It was similar to the finalized Alice design that I made for the show. Except the dress was a long one that went down to her feet, the black sleeves were full-arm length, her hair was much longer, and she held a cartoony microphone with devil horns and a halo. Basically, it looked like an innocent cartoon version of Alice the Ink Angel.

"Is this...?"

She nodded. "It is."

I giggled, the burst out laughing. Oh that is priceless!

"What's so funny?" Bendy asked.

I somehow managed to calm myself, and let out a sigh. "Sorry, I just find this whole thing rather hysterical. Joey's changes to Alice, are actually in line with my original concept for her. In fact this design," I pointed at the cutout. "Is actually the original. The one I spent weeks trying to perfect. The one the Ink Angel is based on."

"You're joking." Allsion and Bendy said in unison, their mouths hanging open.

I shook my head. "Nope. It's the honest truth. The final version of Alice is different in both design and personality because of Joey thinking the original wouldn't be popular with fokes." I explained."

"That's complete crap!" Allison exclaimed.

I shrugged. "I thought the same thing at the time, but in the end I gave in. I created the design we went with by making a version of the angel that would benefit the most. from Susie's version of Alice's voice. Now that I've heard your version of Alice's voice, I have to admit, Joey was right, but for the wrong reasons."

"What does that mean?" Bendy asked.

"Well Susie's Alice voice perfectly captures the carefree attitude and upbeat nature of the 'younger' version of Alice. It would have conflicted with how I envisioned her." I turned to Allison. "Your voice is perfect for my original design. You capture the mature and serious attitude, yet still positive nature I envisioned for Alice Angel. That's why Joey's plan backfired. You are the perfect voice actress for the Alice Angel I wanted people to have."

Allison blushed. "Thanks... that's very kind of you." She stuttered. "Hailey, I have to tell you something."

I frowned. "Something wrong?"

She shook her head. "No. It's just... I'm an only child, but I've always wanted a kid sister. It used to be my biggest wish as a teenager. Until now, I've never felt that kind of bond with anyone. Now that I've met you, it feels like I might finally get to have that wish come true." She then scratched the back of her head. "Would you... like to be my sister?"

That made my heart melt. I gave her another hug. "Honestly, it's been you've started to feel like an older sister to me, Allsion. I have a brother, but it's just not the same." I looked at her in the eyes. "So yes, I would love to be your sister."

She grinned as tears of joy began to pour down her face. I 'oofed' as she gave me a large hug in return. We stayed like this for a few minutes until Bendy started making gagging noises.
