~017 - [VIDEO] - all grown up

[The video feed turns on to show Laura standing in front of a mirror. This mirror reflects not only Laura, who appears to have aged up considerably, but a very nice bedroom as well. There's a framed photo on the bedside table that she hasn't noticed yet--it's of this older version of her and Miss Parker, smiling and posed together with a little girl. Oh dear. Feel free to point this out, anyone who notices!

Laura touches her face incredulously, and when she speaks, it's in a whisper.]

I got...old.

[After a little while of just staring in absolute shock, she picks up the communicator and starts exploring the house. The next room she stumbled across...is a child's. A little girl's, by the decor. Now she's really confused and more than a little troubled.]

Miss Parker...? Paddy...?! [She picks up a teddy bear, looks at it, and then just...lets it fall to the floor. She's having trouble processing the fact that she has, quite impossibly, become an adult, and a parent to boot.]

[Parker had been in the living room, staring at framed pictures on the wall. Each and every one of them said "Ms. Parker's Class" and a year. In each of them she was standing with a proud and happy smile so different from her own that Parker had thought that it might have been Catherine's rather than her own. Quickly she reached out to touch the photo, but the clothing was far too modern for that.

When she heard someone shout for her, she quickly called out, but her tone was distracted.]

Yeah!

I'm here. No trouble.
