"And now darling, you are the man of the house."

"What about pink?" The little girl asked her mother as she sat on her lap. Fiddling with a piece of ribbon in her hand as her mother braided her hair.
"Mmm, let's try something different huh? Yellow will look much prettier." Her mother said with a beaming smile, holding up a vibrant yellow ribbon for her daughter to see.
Luna scrunched her nose in distaste.
"But I don't want something different." She got a reprimanding tap on her head for that. "Don't whine, you sound like a sick puppy-"
"But I like puppies!"
"Certainly not the sick once, huh?"
Luna looked back at her mother with a pout. Crossing her arms and huffing petulantly.
Finishing up braiding the yellow ribbon in her daughter's hair, Pandora Littlewood sighed fondly, "Oh, my little moon..."
Hoisting her daughter up and turning her around, Pandora cradled Lena's face delicately, "Sometimes changes are necessary. Changes are necessary even if they aren't necessary. Living a monotonous life sounds incredibly awful, doesn't it."
Luna blinked confused lyrics at her mother, her mind not understanding the real meaning behind her mother's word.
Nonetheless, she nodded in agreement.
Pandora smiled, "Good, now off you go! I'm certain Tina will love your ribbons." She said.
Luna lightened up immediately. "Really! Oh, she would love it! We already have matching hair and then we will also have matching ribbons..."
Luna gushed excitedly, not noticing how her mother freezing at the sound of the front door opening and closing.
Not noticing until she heard a hysterical chuckle from behind her.
Her mother paled.
"Edward- No, please-"
Something wicked glinted in his hand.
"Hello, darling."

"Mum? Mum, why is daddy here?"

Mum?
"Sorry kid, but your mum's dead."
