The two friends sat on a bench in the park, not really talking, but they weren't silent either. "Jazzy, I've got to tell you something." One said, taking a deep breath. Jasmine looked over to them. "What is it?" They couldn't bear to look at Jasmine as they spoke. "I want to be... I am a man." They nodded, and Jasmine's eyes widened.

               "Just tell me your name." They looked at her and laughed, smiling as wide as they could. "Leo." Jasmine smiled back at him, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you, Leo." They both laughed and Leo rolled his eyes as Jasmine pulled him into a hug.

               He was so different now. Short, fluffy hair, a beard and moustache, and a deep voice. But he still had a college-boy sense of fashion. Jasmine stared down at her cup of coffee before he said something: "I'm dating August now." This got her attention. "Winter's cousin?" Leo nodded, drinking his coffee. "Wasn't he a bit...?" Jasmine waved her hand in a circle to imply something. "Wimpy? Eh, that's why I love him." He smiled and looked over at Jasmine.

               "So, how have things been?" Jasmine didn't answer that right away. She hadn't really stopped to think about it much. "I want to say it's been better, but I feel as if it's gotten worse." Leo repositioned himself as he listened to her, his eyebrows furrowed. It was as if he was trying his hardest to pay attention to her. Finally, someone did. 

               "I don't want to say I feel broken; I'm just at that breaking point, you know?" Jasmine laughed to break down some of her nervousness. She felt people in the diner staring at her. She knew they weren't. "I mean, the villain business is going great! Almost everything is going according to plan! But I've just been thinking about stuff lately. It's tiring.." She ran a hand through her hair.

               "Jasmine, it’s okay to feel like you’re at a breaking point." Leo put his hand on her's in a comforting manner. "Everyone has moments where they feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Even when things are going really well! like in your villain business. It’s still important to take care of yourself and your mental health." 

               Jasmine nodded and looked away, then looked Leo dead in the eyes. "Do you think I'd be a great mom?" Leo's eyes widened at the topic change. He stuttered for a bit, then nodded. "Yeah, actually. You'd be an awesome mom. Why?"

"I'm thinking of adopting."
