Trying to start a bond with your "stepdaughter"
As Agustina carried you in her hands, you are understandably a bit nervous, since as far as your interactions with Amanda went...they didn't start on the right foot. Sure, she was nice at first but as soon as your relationship with her mum was revealed, she immediately became cold toward you. Yet despite this, you would have to deal with her sooner or later, especially since there was a chance you could remain like these for a long while, perhaps...even permanently. So with that possibility in mind, starting to develop a bond with the girl was a must.
Agustina returns to the living room and immediately calls for her daughter. She says:
"Amanda, ven aquí. Tenemos que hablar de algo importante."("Amanda, come here. We have to talk about something important.")
The girl comes into the room, arriving from her bedroom. She looks at her mum, and says in a curious tone:
"¿Qué pasa?"("What's up?")
When she sees you on her mum's hands, her curious face turns a bit...sour for a second, before she returns to normal. She still has issues with you.
Both you and Agustina expected something like this, so you ignore it. Your lover sits again on the big couch, and her daughter follows. She then explains to her child the reunion you're going to have tomorrow morning and the importance of it. After she ends, Amanda asks:
"Así que, ¿mañana iremos a un lugar para ver si pueden curar al señor Denis?"("So tomorrow we're going somewhere to see if they can cure Mr. Denis?")
"Sí, al menos eso es lo que esperamos en el mejor de los casos. Investigamos un buen rato, y es la mejor oportunidad que encontramos. Espero que no te moleste mucho levantarte temprano, especialmente en nuestras vacaciones."("Yes, at least that's what we hope for at best. We did some research, and it's the best opportunity we could find. I hope you don't mind getting up early too much, especially on our vacations.")
"Sí tú dices que lo haremos, será...papá siempre decía eso al respecto cuando tu planeabas algo...y yo estoy de acuerdo, por más que eso signifique ayudar a..."("If you say we will, it will be...Dad always said that about it when you were planning something...and I agree, as much as it means helping...") replies Amanda, before flashing you a new hostile look. This one is more...determined, truly hostile even. Not only that, she does it for longer, which makes it impossible for her mum not to notice it.
Agustina sighs; she now hopes that your relationship with her improves eventually. And that her daughter is willing to accept you. It wouldn't be a nice vacation if her new lover and daughter interacted constantly in bad spirits.
Yet she knew her daughter and knew that she wasn't normally like these. There was a high chance that she might open up to you. With that in mind, she speaks to you both:
"Ahora que eso está claro, tengo que ir a trabajar un par de horas; el jefe me contacto por una emergencia, por lo que Denis se quedara contigo mientras tanto."("Now that that's clear, I have to go to work for a couple of hours; the boss contacted me for an emergency, so Denis will stay with you in the meantime.")
"Entendido."("Understood") replied Amanda, while nodding to her mum.
Agustina then looked at you, and you nodded back. This was it, just as you had planned a few minutes ago, while you too got yourselves clothed again. Agustina left you on the couch and then departed to her room. And she was right; her boss had indeed contacted her for an emergency, something that happened from time to time on her job.
After she walks out of the room, Amanda flashes a hostile look at you, before she stands up and goes towards the toys she had brought to the room. They were some cars and plastic cubes, which the girl start to pile up to make obstacles for her car toys to race in between. She had ignored you, and after a few seconds, you decide to start to try to bond with this girl. You can only hope for the best after you manage to get down from the couch: due both to your new smaller size and a nice big carpet, the fall didn't hurt a tiny bit.
After a walk that took you a few minutes, for you to get close again to the "small" girl, you cough a little and manage to get the girl's attention from behind her. She turns around and looks at you with an annoyed face. She says:
"¿Qué pasa? ¿Algún problema del cual necesitas mi ayuda?"("What's wrong? Any problem you need my help with?")
"No, not at all...so, remember when I said I would like to be your new playmate? If it was not clear, I meant it. Now, is there a game that we could play and have some fun together?"
The girl looks at you, and replies, even more, annoyed that before:
"No gracias, no tengo ganas de jugar contigo. Después de todo, te iras una vez que tengas tu tamaño normal."("No thanks, I don't feel like playing with you. After all, you'll be gone once you're your normal size.").
"Hey, that's not...!" you tried to argue, a bit angry at what the little girl was saying. She immediately interrupts you, and in a direct tone, she speaks in a provocative tone:
"¿Que, que no te iras? Yo te encontré perdido, así de pequeño, y no me es difícil imaginar que en tu situación, haría lo que fuera necesario para recuperar lo que perdiste. Cuando una persona pierde algo que le importa, hará lo que sea necesario para conseguirlo, incluso utilizar a otros. Eso y otras cosas me enseño mi papá...además, ¿acaso tienes planeado que harás una vez que regreses a tu tamaño? Ya sabes, ¿cómo vivirás con mi mamá y conmigo? Mamá tiene razón que eres mayor que yo, pero claramente eres más joven que cuando papá..."("What, that you won't leave? I found you lost, that small, and it's not hard for me to imagine that in your situation, I would do whatever it takes to get back what you lost. When a person loses something that matters to them, they will whatever it takes to get it, even use others. That and other things my dad taught me...besides, do you plan what you will do once you return to your size? You know, how you will live with my mom and me "Mom's right that you're older than me, but you're clearly younger than when dad...")
She then stops, while making a now sad face. Clearly, she remember something she preferred not to. She turned back towards her toys.
At first, you want to argue, but as soon as you open your mouth, the thought hits you: she's right, you have no idea what's going to happen next, once and if you return to normal. Would you effectively ditch your relationship with Agustina immediately? You start thinking about it but conclude that you rather think about this great issue later. Now, you have other things to solve. You cough again, getting Amanda's attention anew, and say:
"First off...how did you manage to consider that? You know, thinking about what could happen once and if I got back to normal? That's not something girls your age do usually."
"¿Qué, pensar de antemano, considerar las posibilidades a largo plazo? Lo sé, es inusual, pero papa considero que sería una habilidad util, y mientras antes aprendiera a hacerlo, mejor. Y honestamente...estoy de acuerdo; ya me ha permitido obtener cosas que otras chicas soñarían con, jeje."("What, think ahead, consider long-term possibilities? I know, it's unusual, but Dad I think it would be a useful skill, and the sooner I learned how to do it, the better. And honestly…I agree; I already agree." It has allowed me to get things that other girls would dream of, hehe.") Replied the girl, with a proud smile and giggling.
You're impressed; that this girl can understand such a concept this early on was quite the feat. That her father could teach her this...you doubt that you could ever compare to be in the same level as he was.
But that is not your goal: your goal is to aid your lover with Amanda, something you can do, your way. You sigh, and then speak to the girl, saying:
"Well, that is impressive, that your father could teach you that. Now, second: yes, you're right, neither I nor your mum has thought was is going to happen beyond the reunion of tomorrow. I...would prefer not to right now. Besides, going to the meeting does not ensure that I'll go back to normal size: there is an equal chance as for now that this new size of mine is permanent. And, before you argue, I say this just in case: the relationship I and your mum have was fast, like really fast. Perhaps your father taught you that such rushed relations don't tend to end well.”
You stop for a few seconds, while you look directly into the girl's eyes, hoping for confirmation. When the girl nods, you nod back, thanking her for her understanding. You decide to continue, and you conclude by saying:
"Now, I hope you can believe it, but I do have feelings for your mum: she's been nothing but kind and gentle with me. And mark my words, I don't think myself capable of abandoning her once and if I return to normal: I'm not that kind of man and person. I didn't engage in such a serious relationship just to throw it away the first chance I get. Not only that, I promised your mum I would aid her in whatever I could, including aiding her with you. So please, I...beg of you, allow me to do that, I promise we'll have fun, and remain together, no matter what happens tomorrow or in the future."
You look up to her and wait. Did your words convince the little girl? Or is she not amused one bit about getting friendlier with you?
Agustina returns to the living room and immediately calls for her daughter. She says:
"Amanda, ven aquí. Tenemos que hablar de algo importante."("Amanda, come here. We have to talk about something important.")
