Season 1, Episode 3: Touche

Scene: A blonde haired girl leans over a pink notebook, writing quickly. The inside of a tent comes into focus, and three more girls and a boy appear. The first girl greets them and they sit beside her, a brown-eyed brunette, a silky-haired blonde with purple eyes, a green-eyed redhead, and a black-haired blue-eyed boy. The purple-eyed girl pokes the first blonde.

Natalia: “M? Should we start?”

Me: “Of course. Welcome to Their Suppression, episode three, season one.”

Amilee: *Whispers to me*

Me: *Nods and hands Amilee a note card*

Amilee: “I will be introducing the first question today. It is from M’s non-kidpub friend Abby, and she asks: ‘If all the characters’ genders were reversed, what would they be like?’”

Fayne: “I can’t really see myself as a boy. And I don’t think the prophecy would work.”

Me: “Forget about the prophecy for now, Fayne. H?”

Henry: “I don’t know. I guess I would be a normal Sisterhood girl, and the Bedate would have acknowledged me as her granddaughter. (I mean, I would be her granddaughter, if I was a girl.) Or I could be a horrible monster like Esile. I guess it depends on what my mom did with me.”
Me: “I’m bringing Esile to have her hear you call her an evil monster!”

Amilee: *Trembling* “NO!”

Me: *Smiling evilly* “Too late.” *Rewinds time*

*Tall blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl appears*

Henry: “...I could be a horrible monster like Esile. I guess it depends on what my mom did with me.”

Esile: “Did you just call me a horrible monster, brother dear?” *Raises eyebrows*

Henry: “Ummm...” *Whispers* “Yes.”

Esile: “Good. You’re absolutely correct.” *Disappears*

Me: “That was anticlimactic.”

Henry: “Indeed.”

Amilee: “This isn’t really a climactic sort of show.”

Me: “Touche.”

Natalia: “Back to the question.”

Fayne: “I guess I wouldn’t work for the Sisterhood, if I was a boy.”

Amilee: “I would have stopped the Valley Lords from making my mom run away, if I was a boy.”

Henry: *Pats Amilee on the back* “Don’t feel bad, Am. You were only four.”

Me: “Be realistic, Amilee.”

Natalia: “You couldn’t have done anything.”

Amilee: *Tears up for the third time in as many episodes* “Thanks.” *Swallows* “Natalia, what if you were a boy?”

Natalia: “I guess I couldn’t really work for the archduke, because he mostly sends me to kill men, and it would be hard to put a male in enough of a trance to kill him if I was male as well.”

Me: “You’ld be Nervis’ heir, if you were a boy, Nat. Because Henry would be a girl, and I suppose we’re assuming Nervis’ daughters are still girls.”

Natalia: *Shivers* “Any other questions?”

Me: “Yes, actually. Another of my non-kidpub friends, Mary, asks ‘What are your favorite breakfast foods?’ Well, I don’t really like breakfast, but I do love scones and muffins. Especially lemon blueberry scones.”

Amilee: “Is Mary the one who drew us for the ‘website’? And helps edit sometimes?”

Me: “Yep. Abby helps edit too. Now, food?”

Amilee: “I like teriminsa, these pastry pockets that are filled with all sorts things. My favorite is when they are filled with dozon meat.”

Me: “Dozons are sort of a mixture between sheep and mountain goats. Fayne?”

Fayne: “I like corn cakes. A lot. I love putting cream on them.”

Me: “Fayne’s love of corn cakes comes from my love of eating cornbread for breakfast after my mom makes it for dinner.”

Natalia: “I don’t really eat food.”

Me: “Blood is food. What’s your favorite blood type?”

Natalia: “Blood type?”

Me: “Oh. Right. Disregard what I just said.”

Henry: “I don’t really have a favorite breakfast food. I just like food in general. I guess, if I did have a favorite, it would be teriminsa, like Amilee.”

Me: “Another question, this time actually from someone on kidpub, GlutenFreeCake (Lily), and she asks ‘Do you like puppies?’”

Henry: “I guess. I don’t spend all my time worshipping them or anything, but I do think they’re cute.”

Amilee: “Yes, I do like puppies. Large dogs, on the other hand...” *Shudders*

Me: “I like dogs and puppies, although I like cats better. I have a cat, named Harry Potter. And there’s our family cat, Midnight. My cat is so adorable. Even though he’s two, he still looks like a kitten, and he’s soooo cute and I love him and he’s so sweet and tiny and nice and and and...”

Fayne: “M. Shut up. Please.”

Natalia: “When she starts going on about the cat...”

Amilee: “I think he’s sweet!”

Henry: “Fayne, Nat? What do you think about dogs and puppies?”

Fayne: “I adore them. They are the most cutest things ever and I don’t care if that’s improper grammar I love them!”

Natalia: “I think they’re fine.”

Me: “Nat...”

Natalia: “What?”

Amilee: “They terrify you. Admit it.”

Natalia: “What?”

Henry: “Natalia’s scared? Of dogs?”

Natalia: “Fine. But for a good reason. One almost killed me when I was four!”

Me: *Shakes head* “That’s all for now, guys. See you next Tuesday- oh, wait, no. I have M.A.D. (Music and Drama) camp next week. See you in two weeks for the next episode. Send in questions, beloved followers. And stay awesome!”

Natalia, Fayne, Amilee, and Henry: “BYES!”
