039. [tiny action!]

[itsahotone]

[Five year old Santana has grown very bored of the mansion, even with all the candy and cakes and stuff it can offer.

(Look, she barely eats as a teenager. She needs to make up for that now. Obviously.)

This is why she is now trying all the doors and windows.

They're all locked.

This is why she is now kicking all the doors and walls.]

LET ME

[John's getting used to the mansion having a bit more shouting than usual, but he's still alerted by these specific words. Once he gets closer, though, he just kind of snickers behind his hand.]

Need a little help?

[itsahotone]

[POUTING. RIGHT NOW.]

Johhhhhhnnyyyyyy, open the doooooor!

[hamburellakind]

[Johnny?

...

OH SHIT.]

Santana? Oh my God, you're so tiny!

[itsahotone]

[...She's still pouting.]

So?? I'm five!

[hamburellakind]

Oh! I don't mean you're small for your age, just, you're smaller than normal!

[Oh he's so tempted to make her Casey the Second right now. So cute.]

So what's up? You want to go outside?

[itsahotone]

[Yet some more pouting.]

Yes. It won't open and I hate it!

[hamburellakind]

Hating it won't do much good.

[John walks up to the door, pretending to examine it.]

Have you tried asking nicely?

[itsahotone]

It's a door! [whiiiiiine.] Open it for meeee!

[hamburellakind]

I think you should ask nicely. The door looks sad.

[He pets it. Aw, poor door. All that yelling.]

[itsahotone]

...No it doesn't.

[She sounds a little unsure, though.]

[hamburellakind]

See that?

[John points at a vaguely crescent moon-shaped knot in the wood.]

It's making a sad face. Because you yelled at it.

[itsahotone]

But it won't open! [She tugs on his arm, looking up with huge eyes of sad-puppy-ness.] It's mean to me so I had to be mean!

[hamburellakind]

[8( Oh, he can't resist that face.]

How about, uh, on three we say, "Open, please!" Like on, you know, Dora.

[itsahotone]

[She looks like she might throw another tantrum, because she doesn't like Dora, but then:]

Promise it'll work?

[hamburellakind]

Pinky swear.

[See, here's his pinky.]

[itsahotone]

[She looks suspicious in a tiny way, but wraps her (tiny, did we mention tiny?) finger around his.]

Okay...
