Kimi was sulking, even as she stood still for her mom. Her mom had only been trying to make her happy but she'd told the older girl that she wanted to be a superhero, or a warrior princess. Her mom had missed the first part of the girls princess request and now the young brunette was sitting still in a fluttery pin tutu. Which, wasn't all that bad, it just wasn't what she'd wanted.
"There, all done with your hair, now Pumpkin, why don't you put on those shoes?" Her mothers voice had gone soft at the end, as if trying to coax an animal. Kimi's eyes darted over to the pink pair of heals before giving them the best look of skeptism a seven year old was capable of.
"I can't run in those!" The little brunette turned back to her mother, worry etched over her features. "If I can't then I can't proteg kids!" The seven year stumbled, and mispronounced the word protect. Her mother gave her a shake of the head before glancing at the clock.
"Then go get a pair or your ballerina slippers." The older blonde paused before she kissed Kimi's forehead. "Behave for your dad, Mommy has to go now." The blonde said before straightening up. The woman called for Kimi's father while said girl fiddles with the layers of sparkly pink tutu. She really did like it, but it just wouldn't do like this. The blue eyed girl was frowning in concentration at the dress when her father came in, a shopping bag hidden behind him.
"Have fun at the party, sweety." He bent and gave his wife a quick kiss as she headed out the front door.
"Will do, keep a good eye on our princess!" The woman called back before the front door closed behind her. Kimi looked up from her thinking, father and daughter watched each other in silence as Kimis mom pulled out of the driveway. A moment passed.
"So," Her dad pulled the bag out from behind his back. "I think your costume needs some modifications, what do you think?" He asked before he opened the bag to look through it. He'd stopped special on his way home to buy these things after he saw what his wife had picked out for their daughter.
"What does MOD IF CAKE SHUN mean?" Kimi stressed the word out as she tried to say it right. However, her question was soon forgotten as her father pulled out a blue cape from his shopping bag. The cape was followed by an eye mask, tights and gloves in the same color. The seven year old squealed happily and tackled her fathers legs in a hug with a million thank you's springing from her lips. Her daddy always came to her rescue! The man chuckled.
"Alright, alright Kimi, come on you gotta put them on so we can see what it looks like. You can put the tights on without mommy's help, right?" He asked the girl as he handed over the tights. Why on earth his wife hadn't thought to give the bouncy girl tights for her original costume was beyond him. The girl may be only seven, but the world was full of wierdos! Quickly, the seven year old donned the tights, right in the middle of the living room while her dad turned around.
"Kay, done!" She chirped happily. her dad turned around then mutely began adding the hero accessories to the girls costume until before him stood.
"Can it be? But it is! It's SUPER PRINCESSSSSSSSS!!!!!" He called out dramatically as he grabbed a blue sharpie from a nearby drawer and put A giant S and a giant P on the torso of the girls costume. Kimi giggled in delight. Her dad smiled, really, the girl had him wrapped around her little finger. "But wait! There's more!" He teased before he reached into his bad and pulled out a pink and blue pair of sneakers. At his daughters curious look, he clapped the bottoms together and watched as pink and blue lights flashed. His daughters mouth fell open and her eyes widened before another pleased squeal erupted from her lips. He handed them over mutely and the girl pushed them onto her feet as he pulled out a crown that lit up and a while town of glowsticks, the kind that turned into bracelets and necklaces. She'd be the most well lit girl in town. Father and daughter went about the process of decking Super Princes out in glowsticks. Then finally, her father pulled back. "One last thing..." He reached in and pulled out a flashlight. "I know it's not a scepter, but it'll have to do for now." he paused as the seven year old took it, turned it on looked straight in the beam before jumping away from the light, another giggle falling off of her lips.
"Thank you, daddy! I love you!" Kimi glomped her father where he kneeled on the floor, managing to actually knock him over as she kissed his cheek like mommy did whenever she was happy. After a few grunts and some detangling, they both got to their feet. Kimi started to jump from foot to watch in excitement, also to make her feet light up. "Can we go now? Can we Can we Can we?" She asked, super excited.
