Dakota Fox: The Past is Behind Me

A small video camera turns on, and focuses on a fox-girl, with long black hair. She's looking down, drawing something/someone. When she realizes the camera's on, she looks up at it.

'''"Here it goes. Hi, 23 year old Dakota. This is your 13 year old self. I just wanna remind you that your an orphan, well, I'm an orphan. Our mother died when we were 3 weeks old. I then aged magically thirteen years ahead. I'm pretty sure I age normally after that." '''

She looks down, back on the picture she was drawing. She smiles sadly, then back up.

"The picture I'm drawing is an anime version of us and Mom. By us, I mean me. Or you."

She lifts the picture, holding it to the screen. After five seconds, she puts it down.

"I can't remember Mom very well. I just remember these purple eyes and short, shaggy, black hair. Aunt Kaylee says I'm right, but I wish I knew for certain. I didn't mean for you to get all teary, but I'm getting teary."

The fox girl looks down for a moment, wiping her eyes.

"That's better. The reason I'm making this is so I can remind myself that the past is behind me. I can't dwell on it anymore. I need to stop thinking of what my life would be like if my father did care about me, or if my mom didn't leave me."

She stops and listens. She hears someone calling for her.

"I gotta go. Vixen is calling me to dinner. Listen to me. Don't dwell on the past. It makes you depressed. All right? Good. Bye, 23 year old Dakota."

The camera unfocuses and turns off.
