Broken Worlds

Unfortunately, this happens...

Movement. A ripple. It happens too, if there's someone with enough courage to make it happen in the first place..

~Lelli~

A fox walked past. She threw her trash on the ground. Frowning, Lelli stared after her. "HEY, YOU DROPPED YOUR TRASH!" She called. The animal didn't even blink. "MRS. FOX!!!" She called again, angrily this time. "EXCUSE ME? I DON'T TOLERATE LITTERING!"

By now, everybody in the park was staring. Nervously, Lelli awkwardly took a step back from the bystanders. But she took advantage of the moment, holding the piece of trash up for the crowd to view. "Look at this!!!" She screamed. "LOOK AT THIS!" She picked it right off the ground, but she didn't care.

She continued onward, nodding at people as they cleared a path for her. She held up more pieces she found. "Look at this!"

"Save the turtles!" One hater squawked. Angrily, Lelli turned and looked the person right in the eye, her sharp sense of hearing catching every word he whispered. In fact, every sound. "Yes. Save the turtles. Unless you want sealife to die."

She continued her actions until everyone cleared. Two eagles, bold and strong, flew over. Expecting a fight of some sort, Lelli braced herself and flexed her claws.

"No, no," One of them said. Then they bent down and swept up some of the trash with their talon. Their friend sorted it and then they threw it in the cans. Little by little, more became joining. Soon, almost all of the witnesses of the park were cleaning the junk up.

The fox, wide-eyed, had finally turned around. Her route was toward the monkey bars. Who could blame her? Lelli sighed and stared at the soda can in her hand. She was looking from the playground back to Lelli. Finally, she trotted over and threw it in the recycling.

The voices erupted into proud cheers. Lelli felt it, too. She'd made a difference.

~Violet (V)~

She was walking with her new other, Jaco. They passed a homeless man on their way to the bakery. V stared to reach for her wallet to pull out a small donation, but Jaco tugged her away warningly. She shot him a look, but didn't reply.

As they entered, the whiff of fresh bread entered the air. It was delightful. Violet ordered a water and a small, still-warm croissant. She took a nice, long smell of the aroma before resisting the temptation to give in. When they passed the man again on their way out, she pulled her meal out of the bag and handed it to the man.

Jaco shoved Violet away and trotted away angrily. Well, that was the end of them.

But apparently, the start of something much more valuable.

~Alec~

He was the nerdy kid. Of course. He saw the popular boys standing next to the popular girl, aka his crush. He waved awkwardly. The boys snickered and pointed.

As he was walking back, he checked his wallet. Close to nothing. First, he made a stop to get some flowers. He checked out some pretty white daisies. But they were expensive. Sighing, he bought one of the cheapest, worn one.

Then he looked at cupcakes. He couldn't afford them. He spent the rest of his money on a small piece of bread. Part of it had fallen off. He reappeared next to the clearing and held out his precious items.

The boys laughed again, but his crush shoved them away and walked over. Alec started to explain that he couldn't afford something better, but she took the items and hugged him tight.

That caused a ripple.
