Only Pretend

Aricka was cleaning her room, when she looked out the window. She  missed Jack. A song starts playing from Peter Pan, and she sings along. JackABear looks at her longingly from the corner of her room. She walks over and picks him up, and hugs him. "Oh JackABear," she whispers, burying her nose into his fur. "I  miss him so much."

"Is this just pretend?

 Oh only pretend

 True, it's all just a game

Make believe all the same Is it only pretend? 

 Are these feelings I'm feeling 

My feelings a lie 

Do you have them too? 

I think that you do 

But you never say "my friend" 

 You silently row 

You're like no boy I know 

What clue did I miss 

Is kiss like a kiss 

What does it really mean? 

 It maybe just pretend 

And soon my dream will end 

But just for a moment 

Let's pretend that it's real 

 What does it really mean? 

It may be just pretend 

And soon my dream will end..." that's all she could sing, before dissolving into tears. 

A few moments later, she dried her eyes and looked in the mirror. You couldn't even tell she cried. She smiles and walks downstairs, where everyone was playing a game. This is where I belong; she thought. In the present. Not the past. Jack would understand.

Then she goes and sits next to Virgil, who pulls her into his lap and kisses her cheek. "Glad you could join us; we're playing Clue," he says.

"I wanna be Profesor Plum!"
