[It's been about a year since Sonico left Waverly Bay, and the temple had somehow granted the most important wish she and her recently-adopted roommate held in their hearts. Rise Kujikawa, the small girl Sonico had taken in when she was still new and frightened, had just confessed to Sonico that she didn't just see her as a big sister figure. She was so much more than that, someone she loved and knew she could rely on for support no matter what. They had to stop kidding themselves eventually - Sonico was too much like a mother to her, and she treated Rise too much like her own daughter. When they finally admitted it to themselves and each other, their relationship really clicked into place. And from then, there was no way Rise was ever going to leave her side.
So when Sonico was sent back home to Kalos, the Temple gave the two what they most wanted... a chance to live together as a family, without worrying about ever being separated by an entire world again.]
Mama! I'm home!
[The small girl's cheerful voice calls in, as she enters with a shopping bag in her arms and her guardian Meowstic in tow. She'd shifted from calling Sonico "-neechan" to "Sonico-mama" at first, but at some point the name had just... dropped. It felt more simple and natural this way.
Rise has really blossomed in her time in Kalos, too. All the shyness and awkwardness she'd been unable to completely shake in Waverly Bay have pretty much entirely disappeared. She can see a future where she's happy and fulfilled again, and doesn't mind that she still has some years of growing up in this new world ahead of her.
She makes her way to the kitchen first, to drop off some of the groceries she'd picked up for Sonico on the way home. But if she doesn't see her mother along the way, she'll poke through the apartment curiously looking for her. She might be embarrassed to admit it, since it could seem kind of babyish even at her age, but she loves how Sonico greets her with the snuggliest, warmest, most mommy hugs when she comes home...]
Kalos family AU, go~
