Allete had been dragged along to the mall with her family. That's what happened when you had three sisters. Of course, one of them didn't live at home, but still. Too much estrogen in the house. Alaqua was deemed old enough to venture off on her own, but Evelyn and Allete weren't allowed out of their mother's sight.
Finally, after being dragged through a dozen stores, Allete found something that sparked her attention. "Mom! Mom!" The girl pointed at the playground. "Can we play?" The woman glanced at the girl, knowing that it'd been a minor miracle to have gotten Allete in and out of that many stores.
"For a little while, okay?" Niki smiled as Allete grinned and headed for the playarea. The woman and other girl followed along behind, though Evelyn stuck with her mother and sat next to the woman at the seating around the playarea. She'd rather be shopping...

It was so far beyond Amanae now that she had given up. It seemed the parts of gaia that were so heavily infested with aliens, talking animals and children that grew from nowhere had found her, and there was nothing that she could do about it. The ghost that had claimed a room in her house and the arrival of Nudeln proved that. She'd well and truly given up wondering how, or why. She just wanted to live in peace and quiet, but if she got any more children, she'd have to kick her brother out of the house.
Nudeln was deep in thought also. Although it was not so much 'why does the universe hate me' and 'what here can I use to cause damage'? The woman's attention was drawn away from her in her thoughtful state, so the small girl took this chance to search her surroundings.
Hmm...no way out and nothing to cause damage. It seemed the entire place was padded...

Allete grinned as she climbed up to the top of the slide and slide down. This was the best part of the mall! The girl looked around, curious as to who else was here. Her boring sister wasn't going to play with her, so she'd have to find someone else!

Nudeln, who had begun beating her head against the side of the slide, noticed he girl who slid past her. Grimacing and wrinkling up her nose, Nudeln made an obnoxious noise of dislike. Green scaly girl was green. Nudeln decided, right then and there, that she hated greed. Therefore, she hated the girl.
"Hate you," She informed Allete rudely, resuming the rhythmic beating of her head against the slide.

Allete had spotted the girl and was about to say hello when Nudeln spoke. The girl paused and stared at the other girl for a long moment, her mouth hanging open. She shut it, then opened it again. But nothing came out. After another long moment of trying, the girl finally managed speech. "That's not nice." She frowned at the girl. "Why're you doing that?"

Giving her head a much more violent beat against the slide, Nudeln glowered up at the girl. Green, green, green, ugly nasty yucky green, green. "'Caus I can," She informed her in a dull, spiteful voice. "An' my mommy isn't watchin'. Hate her too."

"... Is there anyone you like?" Allete blinked, her four wings tucked close to her body. "Doesn't that hurt, though?" She indicated the side of the slide, where the girl was hitting her head. It looked like it would hurt.

Nudeln whacked her head against the slide once more, as hard as she could, then glared up at the girl. "Hate you, hate mommy. Guess not, huh?" She spat cruelly, her hands wandering down to Band-Aids on her knees and picking at them crudely with bandaged fingers.

Allete frowned, backing away from this hateful girl. What was wrong with her? "You're a meanie-head!" The girl declared, almost yelling, before stomping off across the play area to find something else to play on that didn't have a mean girl.

"Meanie head," Nudeln echoed, clawing at the band-aids absently. She raised her voice just enough for the other girl to hear. "You don't like me, huh?"

Allete paused in her storming off to glance back at the girl over her shoulder. "You don't like me... why should I like you?" But she was a bit confused about her own feelings. Hate wasn't something she really knew, but she did know that she didn't hate this hate-girl. She was.. hurt... by the fact that the other kid didn't like her.

Nudeln had managed to tear one of the Band-Aids off her knee, causing the small cut under it to begin bleeding. She immediately set about tearing off another one, then another, until she'd revealed a mass of claw-like cuts on her knees. :'caus I'm littler than you. And cute, too," She stated stonily, "That means you have to stop me."

Allete just stared as the girl tore off the bandages. "But..." The girl looked around at the parents, trying to figure out which was this girl's mother. "Your mommy should be stopping you... not me... and I don't have to like you if I don't want to!" The last was practically spat out. "Even if you are littler. You has no wings." She snorted and turned her back once again.

"But you should want to stop me," Nudeln growled, looking up at Allete with golden eyes through thick locks of black hair. "You should!" Suddenly, without noticing when or how, Nudeln was on her feet. The children around her gasped and looked up, whispering about her. Her knees were bleeding, and whatever scars were under the bandages on her fingers had opened up slightly and were bleeding too.
Amanae, who was sitting away from the playground now, heard her daughter's voice ring out.

"Why? Why do you seem to care if I don't stop you? Maybe you actually do like me." The girl spoke with her back still to the littler girl, so she'd failed to notice that Nudeln was now standing and bleeding. "I don't want to stop you. I want to go play."
