One month later.

"Mom, can we have a day just the two of us?" Cordelia asks her mother.

"Sure! What do you wanna do?"

"Well I've really been wanting to go to this museum-"

"A museum?" Fiona makes a face.

"Yeah! It-"

"We're going shopping."

"O-kaaayy?"

"That sounds like much more fun, doesn't it?"

"I guess.." Cordelia frowns.

"It'll be fun! We can go to Gucci, Chanel! All those fun stores! Then we can eat at my favorite restaurant!"

"Sure Fiona. Whatever you want.." Cordelia sighs.

**

"Did you really have to get a driver, mom? What's wrong with just taking the car?"

"Oh Delia, why when you can sit back and have someone else do it for you?"

"I don't know.. I just don't see a reason to be so extra."

"I love being extra, darling!" Fiona smiles.

Cordelia rolls her eyes.

Soon they arrive, and Cordelia follows Fiona to whatever store she wanted to visit.

"Look at this.  Does this make me look fat?" Fiona asks.

"Yes." Cordelia mumbles.

"Huh?"

"No mom, you look fine."

"Well Fine wasn't exactly what I was going for."

"Great, mom. You look perfect. You look absolutely stunning!" Cordelia says in a very dry tone before she walks away.

"Well you don't have to be upset that I look so great!" Fiona shouts.

Fiona then sighs and goes back to change.

After slipping into her black dress, Fiona went to find Cordelia.

"Delia! Why did you take off like that?"

"Because!"

"Because Why?"

"Because I asked for a day with you at the museum! I don't like all of this, You do! I didn't want to come here! You never care about what I want! It's always about you! I knew you'd go back to your old ways! Sure the old Fiona would have just come here without me, but it's only a matter of time before we're back in that position!"

"Oh honey.. Delia, I'm so sorry. You're right. I was wrong for taking over. I feel terrible." Fiona truly felt bad for upsetting her daughter.

"Whatever! Just go finish shopping and I'll just wait for you here."

"No baby, let's leave. I want to take you to that museum you're so interested in! Come on, you can teach me things!" Fiona smiles.

Cordelia looks at her without cracking a smile.

"Please? I promise you I'll be good! I'll pay attention!" Fiona smiles.

"You won't embarrass me?"

"Embarrass you? Me?! Honey, I'm not like Joe!"

"I know!  You're Fiona, and you can embarrass me even more than Joe. He's never embarrassed me."

"Oh.. Wow."

"Did you not know that?"

"No, this is news to me.."

"Oh."

"Well I'll try not to."

"You promise?"

"I promise, honey!" Fiona lifts her hand.
"Come on, let's go to the museum and be little dorks!" She smiles.

"Just because we're going to a museum does not make us dorks. Just like you liking all this stuff.." Cordelia points to her shopping bags. "Does not make you a snotty bitch.. You just are one naturally."

Fiona tilts her head to the side and holds in her laughter.
"Thanks, little baby girl I birthed and placed here on this earth!"

"Oh don't start throwing that in my face! I didn't ask for you and dad to have drunk unprotected sex!"

"Little girl! Watch yourself. You're acting like-"

"You?"

"I was going to say your grandmother, but I guess you are much too beautiful and sweet to be that evil toad of a woman.. I guess you are more like me." Fiona smiles.

Cordelia laughs and grabs her mother by the arm.
"Let's go, Momma."
