Sparkle: Because Cutepups is the master that controls us all, I found this in my room.
Brock: Huh?
Finny: What do you mean, Sparkle?
Twinkle: I can't tell what it is. It's so dusty.
Dawn: *now with a fluffy robe on top of her clothes* It looks like a photograph.
Fierdan: Hay un foto misterioso. ¡Feo!
Ryen: *cringes?* Please stop.
Fierdan: No. F*ck you.
Sparkle: I swear I will never understand their brotherly relationship.
Dawn: *sighs, crosses arms* Why would you word it like that?
Sparkle: Well, uh, I mean.. they're brothers. I can never tell if they hate or support each other.
Dawn: Haha, I really have no idea.
Sparkle: *starts wiping off the dust* Oh, yeah, okay.
[A few minutes later, and a lot of the dust has been removed from the mysterious photograph-looking object. Duke has also been in this scene the entire time, but this is the first time he's saying anything since Sparkle returned with the object. He pushes past the rest of them, and then he stands very close to Sparkle.]
Duke: How did you get that?
Sparkle: It was a family picture. From, you know, one of those big family events.
Duke: *shivers as he looks at the object* It's a photo. You were right, Dawn and Fierdan.
Brock: Oh, I want to see!
Duke: *glares at Brock more seriously than usual*
Brock: Uh.. so it's a photo, huh?
Twinkle: That's what he just said.
Duke: *is now staring with wide eyes at the photo that only he and Sparkle can see* Why do you have this? I thought the past.. I thought it got destroyed.
Sparkle: Apparently, it didn't. We can look back on that good part of the past.
Duke: *speaks very softly, making it impossible for anyone besides Sparkle to hear him* None of the past was good. I don't care that we were younger back then, the past was never good. Maybe for you it was, but it wasn't for me. You should have known that.
Brock: So what's going on?
Duke: *speaks much louder, looks up from the photo and faces the rest of them* Go to your rooms.
Dawn: Why?
Duke: It's getting late. There's school tomorrow.
Dawn: But it's only 9:30?
Duke: Good night!
Finny: Hey dude, are you okay?
Duke: I want it.. *takes the photo out of Sparkle's hands*.. and I need to destroy it.
Ryen: Destroy what, exactly?
Duke: *clenches teeth, holds the photo in the total opposite way of gently*
Finny: What's wrong, Duke?
Duke: The photo! It's all wrong! I don't want to ever look back at myself looking that way. My clothes.. my face.. my eyes.. the emptiness... *very tiny flames start appearing around his fingers*
Fierdan: Okay, I'm done. I'll figure out the various languages at a later time.
Twinkle: Wait, what's going on?
Fierdan: *runs up to Duke and wraps an arm around Duke's upper back* What's wrong?
Duke: *is either more distressed or is calming down* Father. Mother isn't there in the picture, but I know I still lived with her. The.. the abuse happened a lot during those months.
Fierdan: Mother? Yours?
Duke: Calliah. That woman you ruined.
Fierdan: Uh, right...
Duke: Ugh, you don't get it! Don't pretend to understand! *removes Fierdan's arm from touching Duke's back*
Fierdan: The past was a f*cking hell. I know it was, Duke. Calm down, plea--
Duke: *yells and the flames grow in size* No! *drops photo which then gets covered by the fire*
Sparkle: Really?! *carefully picks up the photo before it gets deeply covered in the orange flames*
Brock: Umm...
Sparkle: Look here, Brock.
Brock: *looks at the photo with Sparkle while Fierdan, Ryen, and Finny try to calm down Duke* You're the girl, right?
Sparkle: Yeah, that's me. That's what my natural hair looks like.
Brock: You still looked pretty back then. You should wear your hair naturally again. I know it's been several years, but still.
Sparkle: Well, umm...
Brock: It's called a compliment. You're welcome, by the way.
Twinkle: *clears throat* Uh... *goes up to Sparkle to also look at the photo, and then motions for Dawn to also come look at it*
Sparkle: *points at each person in the photo* Here I am, and here are my parents, and over here is Duke, and there's Duke's dad on that side.
Brock: Duke was shorter than you?
Sparkle: Yeah, I used to always be taller than him.
Twinkle: Interesting...
Brock: Geez, his hair looks so light.
Sparkle: Haha yeah, he looks so different with no black or darker brown hair.
Twinkle: You two look like cute little kids.
Sparkle: Okay then.
Twinkle: Looks.. nice.
Sparkle: Okay.
Dawn: Yeah okay, I'm gonna go to my room now. I'm still so cold.
Twinkle: Okay, I'm gonna go too.
Brock: It's not even 10 yet!
Twinkle: I don't care, I'm tired now.
Brock: Well.. okay then.
End of the skit for the night of December 14th. That's it. No more from this day.
