12th Teddy Bear [Accidental Video/Action]

[Standing outside the school like a champ is Elicia, with her journal dropped to the side to catch her in the screen—she looks very focused, and her gloved hands are raised up like she's about to open an old Egyptian tomb. After a moment, she speaks in a commanding voice:]

Miss Na-la of the healing! My name is Elicia Hughes! It's spelled E-L-I-C-I-A! I'm five years old. [...an addendum] And I can count to 16!

U-um, I wrote you a letter, so— [she fiddles with her winter coat and unfolds a big blue piece of construction paper] —here! I'll read it...

Hi... Miss Nala! How are you today? I'm okay, but I really really really... wanna learn how to fix people's owies. Sometimes I hit my toe or get a cut, so I know it can hurt! So I wanna make sure... I can help if people get hurt, too. A-and I'm doing really good in school, so I'll be good for you, if you show me how!

[She looks up from the paper.]

I like helping people. I think you do, too! So let's be friends, okay...?

...Mmm....

Mama says I should do what I like, and I really like helping people!

Maybe I should be a doctor!

That's one of the better ways of doing it. Would take a lot of work, though.

[asobouyo]

That's okay—I'll work my hardest, no matter what!

[ffff what is this. Ninjas shouldn't find things cute, no matter how much Ino and Sakura beg to differ.]

Heheh. Good for you. Then don't let someone like me hold you up. [He raises a finger to the air, saying nothing for a second so that maybe Elicia will hear what he does.] It sounds like Nala's ready to talk with you.

[OMIGOSH you're right! D:]

I gotta go learn stuff! Bye!!

[She runs toward the school, stops, and then runs back.]

What's your name, mister?

[endgames]

[He laughs, leaning back in his seat.]

It's Shikamaru. [Kind of a mouthful, he knows.]

Re: [Action]

[asobouyo]

Mr. Shi-ka-ma-ru! I'm Elicia! I'll talk to you later, 'kay?

[Action]

[endgames]

Heh, okay. [He gives a little salute.] It was nice meeting you, Elicia.

Re: [Action]

[asobouyo]

[She returns the salute, standing straight and tall, before running off to talk to Nala.]
