Chapter 1: M is for Memories I Keep

Chapter Text

Minx loved her parents the way any kid would love theirs. She loved spending time with them, together and separately, even though her dad was always busy with his demanding job. No matter how hectic things got, he always made time for her and her mom. Seeing her parents happy — especially her mom — made Minx light up. She would beam whenever she saw them together.

To Minx, her parents felt like a fairytale, like Sleeping Beauty: her dad as Prince Phillip and her mom as Princess Aurora. That’s why she loved the movie so much, it reminded her of them. She felt truly happy with her parents because she felt loved and cherished, and she loved and appreciated them just as deeply.

Whenever Minx felt sad or weighed down, those feelings washed away the moment she saw her parents happy together, or even just being near each other. They were her comfort, her whole world and she knew she was theirs too.

Minx felt like the happiest girl in the world. No material thing could compare to what her parents gave her. They showered her with gifts, and she appreciated them, but they always paled in comparison to simply having her parents and their happiness. Their love was enough for her. Their embrace and warmth were enough for her.

Minx believed this happiness would last forever. Seeing her parents happy made her happy, and she wanted that feeling to last. A real happily‑ever‑after, like in the fairytales she adored. But fairytales are just fairytales.

Notes:

I’ve been watching this show on a definitely legal streaming service. I had a vague memory of it from years ago. I remember trying to sneak a peek while it was airing on TV, but my parents kept chasing me away because it was a “devil show.” That didn’t deter kid me though, I still tried to sneak a peek whenever it was on. All I remembered was that it had that mystery element I liked (I’m a big Scooby Doo fan) and aliens (also a big fan; I just like space stuff in general). Those two favorite things combined made kid me want to watch it even more.
But I didn’t get to watch much of it because the show aired on FJ1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at that time I was always busy or away from home. So, I never got the chance to really watch it, and eventually I forgot about it. Years later, I remembered the show and now I finally get the chance to watch it. And it is not a devil show. I have no idea what my parents were on about. I think they just said that to kid me so they could have the television all to themselves. Greedy of them.
