(4/10) Alive Ulla -Part 4
Oh no, I had delayed a lot and I had distracted too much, any way, shorter and faster ~
< Before
(Hahaha, me having random thoughts about Ulf and Ulla having a similar friends group to the Rugrats, Don would be playing Angelica's role but doesnt work because she is not an spoiled evil brat)
1.- Let's skip the subplot about how now in the school it looks like Ulf is too invested on getting way much more study time, and for the surprise, he isn't only researching whatever needs to get the homework done, but she's going with his own investigation about what is right and what is wrong at getting siblings separated or united, as he used to be with his twin sister.
2.- And that's how he develops a kind of obsession, or maybe a focus for a new specialty, about functional and dysfunctional families, siblings dynamics, information about twins is very little, and of course, at the Renaissance time they are living, he feels the hope about finding great philosophers and sciencists works
3. He finds interesting things, mostly documented siblings dynamics are about Greek mythology, Biblic texts, Grimm fairy tales, Prussian, Germanic , Roman and Baltic folklore, too little about twins, siblings with eternal mutual love, siblings killing each other out of envy, constant figth until they get a reconciliation, banned because of 1nc3st, total indifference form each other life, a patriotic feeling from sharing a root.
4.- He needs more, so, new tactic, interviews to all the neighborhood, more domestic perspective, is this a bad idea? what would be the worst? all the town gossiping on his back about how he wants to push his spoon on private lives? putting salt on family wounds?
Did I said I was going to skip the subplot and then say it anyway? Sorry my bad XD
Whatever
5.- The friends of the group noticed how Ulf stopped hanging out with them, and how Ulla tried to make Donnie join the friends group, but even like this, Don doesn't want to play their games.
6.- And now the friends group tell Ulla to make Ulf come back, why did he stopped hanging out anyway ? Ulla is not sure, they suggest that maybe he felt substituyed by Don and leaved, haha , that's not possible, he is unsubstituible, right?
7.- What was the last time they played together? Since meeting Don, but she felt like everything was like always, did she took his company for granted and didn't noticed she pushed him out of her quality time?
8.- She needs to find him and apologize, once in home, he is no where to be found, mom and dad say he was studying at the library, and after that, he would visit some neighbors for a research, she should stay at peace.
9.- So she waits while advancing at her own alchemy research, but feels at unease, what if he got in trouble?, before she gets a purse ready to search him out there, Don comes to her lab space to say she is bored and wanted to see what is that alchemy about.
10.- Ulla as she is, is happy to show Don, so they spend time with it, still unease, but kind of happy that Don finally shows more interest on her first interest, what if she doesn't ask again if refusing now? Ulf is smart and strong, he wouldn't put himself in danger.
11.- Don watches how Ulla time to time twitches her face with worry and then happyness again, and gets offended, what if Ulla in the deep doesn't want to teach her this alchemy stuff to avoid her from being smarter than her?
12.- Whatever, Don will keep her thoughts for herself, as she had done at all Mr Croix classes, feeling like this is not different, they think she is a lower life and a failure, younger kids from this town have more knowledge than her, a shame, but she has now a genius at home and she plans to squish the juice of these lemons.
13.- Ulla after running some samples joyfully with Don as her pupil, it's time to get her to do samples to test if she put attention, and yes, amazing tests, Ulla says that maybe tomorrow together they would read an "Hermes Trismegistus" book to try new reactions, but now, they should go outside.
14.- Don doesn't want to, she wants to spend more time learning more alchemy, so he asks Ulla to stay a continue, Ulla considers this, this is one of her favorite things, but the worry about Ulf cant be ignored, so she fights her desires with her 10 years old child mind, and takes a while, so Don gets more offended, and tells her to do whatever she wants, but she says it with kind of a sneer.
15.- So Ulla now worries about making Don angry and tries to apologize, as a pleaser she is kind of becoming, she offers Donnie to keep studying, but then it clicks in her mind , why is she giving more focus into stop Don to be angry at her for not spending time after she shopped spending time with Ulf for way too longer than this?
16.- What if Ulf is also angry at her? What if he doesn't like her as before ? Is she a bad sister for not noticing this before ? Is she an hypocrite for caring more for her new friend than her own twin brother who has been there for her his whole life ?
17.- Donella now is alarmed, Ulla started crying shortly after offering more time here, seems like she got sad for no reason, and now she tries to get her to not cry, shush her, offer a hug, whatever, whenever a child cried back in Ingvarr, two things could happen : 1) Adults hitting the child to stop crying and endure whatever is happening, 2) Friends of such children hitting the one who made them cry in vengeance.
18.- In this place, adults are more caring, what if Ulla's parents hit her and kick her out their house for making her daughter cry?, but she did nothing to hurt her, then why? Her parents enter to the room rushing asking what happened, while the mom, Holda, scoops Ulla from Donella to hug her instead , Don explains that nobody is injured, but Ulla got sad for no reason.
19.- That sounds suspicious, nobody cries for nothing, then the answer comes, Ulla says she wants Ulf, she misses him, her mom assures her he is coming back soon, and she shouldn't miss him, both had breakfast and school together, Ulla answer is not that, but they hadn't been together a longer while.
20.- Ulf is back home, is not even dark outside, barely sunset, leaves his things at the living room and goes to the lab space to see what's the fuss about, Ulla runs to him to hug him, she tells him she is sorry for stopping spending time with him
22.- He says she shouldn't worry, everything is okey, (and according to dad's plan), she shouldn't be sad (but he is sad too) he loves her as a sister, and each one needs time to spends apart, Ulla ask if isn't he angry at her, he is not, and she answers an "I love you brother "
23.- Donella just doesn't understand what the heck is happening in front of her, rich kids and their picky problems for their delicate minds, now that he is home, dinner should be served, so everyone should go and set the table
24.- Meanwhile they do this chore, Ulf tells how was his day, and he adds that during his research, he knocked at the door at three empty houses, maybe those are abandoned, so if Don stills wants to do as she said, there are three places, if she dropped that, is no problem too.
25.- Now dinner is served, and Don thanks him for the information, and she also thanks everyone for their hospitality and patience with her, Ulla also thanks her for being an amazing friend, the parents says she can stay more time, there is no need to rush, either way, she is welcome home anytime.
26.-Ulla adds she felt worry for Ulf, so, was everything all right on his research? He assures everything was fine, later he privately with his dad, would add that, all neighbors were kind, but when he went further away, some people where mean to him, and that scared him a little , but it was not big deal, dad offers to company him next time
27.- Ulf agrees and thanks him, he doesn't reveal this to his dad , but he also got some haunting histories about real life problems at the people interviewed talks, but he promised to keep quiet about those, confidentiality, a fine price for "free" knowledge, time to try a new adult skill , "keep secrets".
Well, end of that arc, thanks for reading ;D
