[No no no. Absolutely not! Mia has absolutely no idea how she ended up this young - for crying out loud, she looks 15! - and she kinda. Wants her body back, if only because she's too used to be taken seriously. To make matters even worse, she even found herself in her old Fey clothes too. (What was this, a weird blast from the past?)

As she stares at her reflection, Mia can't help pressing her lips and moving her arms in circles. If she's really a child again... then this is Time Compression's fault, isn't it? And she thought she'd been so good at avoiding weird events until now too.]

... You've got to be kidding me. How long's this going to last this time?

Mia!

[Bam! Bam! That's the sound of a kid with l'cie strength pounding on her door]

Miiiiiiiiiaaaaaaa! Come onnnnnnnnnnnn!! We have to get to the cafeteria before they run out of hot dogs!

[Bam! Bam!] Come ooooon!

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[.... sob. Why does he do this to her? Mia flails for 8.5 seconds before slowly, reluctantly opening the door and greeting Snow with a slight smile.]

I'm here--- Whoa. You make a cute kid.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

'Bout time. You coming? After we eat I wanna show you this great thing I found in the training center!

[Li'l Snow is almost bouncing with energy. Clumsy energy. He whacks the door with a shoulder on a particularly vigorous bounce]

I'm coming, I'll - be careful! [she even winces at the door whack] - go ahead and grab my things.

[hurries back in, gets her purse, and then closes the door behind them] ... What "great thing?" I hope it's not dangerous.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Naw, you'll be with me! [He throws out his chest, then thumps a fist against it, confident as can be]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[She can't help laughing a little at that] ... [oh god, he's dead serious about this.] Oohkay then.

[Erk! Mia tries to sidestep Colette, but it's in vain. BAM! Before either of them know it, Mia's on the floor.] A-are you all right...?

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Oh my-! I am so so so sorry! Are you okay? Did I hurt you?

[]

Yes, I'm fine, thank you. But I'm so sorry!

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, I promise! [to prove her point, she leaps up to her feet and dusts herself off.] See? You don't have to apologize.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Bossy little brat that he is, he grabs her hand to all but haul her to the cafeteria. Why is she so SLOW today? Oh well! This is gonna be a GREAT DAY!]

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

But... I could have hurt you... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been running around like that.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but it happens. [laughs] Really, it's not a big deal.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[does she even have any say in this anymore? Mia tries to protest - muttering something about "not being a fan of hot dogs" - but even she knows her efforts're in vain. If he's happy, she might as well... just be dragged on this ride.]

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

If you're sure... []

I'm Colette! I don't think we met before!

[chibifirebird.livejournal.com]

[Confused slightly lost boy of about 9 peers up at her.]

This happened before?

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you! I'm Mia Fey. [out of habit, she holds out her hand.] I'm an instructor here at Garden... or well, I am normally anyway.

["Barring weird events like this, of course."]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. [Mia bites her lip] The Time Compression here works in strange and mysterious ways.

[chibifirebird.livejournal.com]

Sounds frustrating. [GIANT SIGH.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Does she honestly think kid Snow is LESS stubborn than adult Snow? He won't complain if she orders something other than a hot dog, though.]

[He himself gets three. And makes something of an effort to talk while practically inhaling them]

Wait'll you see this thing. It's great and secret and -- secret. And the grats in there? I can take 'em now!

[He makes a punching motion, whacks his drink, and frantically catches it before it can fly everywhere]

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

How long is what going to last?

[Have a ten year old Quistis, who at her age had just enrolled into Garden; she doesn't seem to have any memories of the years that have followed. Her blue eyes are wide and curious as the looks up at the older girl-- oh, she's pretty!]

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

An instructor? Really? What do you teach? [] I'm still choosing my new classes...

[timesync.livejournal.com]

[Here comes Silver, confused at people suddenly being at almost eye level. He's walking down the hallway looking at people with a strange expression.]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[She followed him inside the cafeteria, though she was polite and only got herself one hot dog. Mia couldn't help giggling at his efforts--wait, he can take down grats now? Hasn't he always been able to...?]

Of course you can. Those things're always a piece of cake for you.

[winces again] Careful! We don't want to visit the cleaners.

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

International Law and Criminal Justice! [Kinda forgot that she doesn't look like a proper instructor, but still. Mia seems proud of it!] I hope you'll take them sometime soon, but... I'm also very biased.
