Search Ten: Dad of the year | Ecruteak

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[After being pushed awake by a wound up pokemon, reminding him of the days when a little girl would wake him up before dawn by jumping on his bed, Harry has joined the rest of their little group in the motel room, now more awake with his coffee. Heather and Henry will find gifts for them off to the side. And he also managed to buy some small things with some money from his part time job at a book-store, for his pokemon. So those three are out of their balls and having fun. And then he finds something marked for him...]

[Video feed crackles to life later that day. Harry is sitting at a table with a smile.]

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you're all enjoying the holidays. I was left an anonymous gift that I thought a few of you might like to share with me. 

Now, I know I'm incredibly biased in claiming I have the most adorable daughter in the world. But now I have proof. 

Here's a picture of Heather when she was five years old and decided that she was going to be a cowboy when she grew up...

[Why yes, he's gotten a photo album back. And of course like any dad's, it's filled with photo's of his kid. There's a mix of ones from when he and Jodie had found Cheryl and after his wife's death. But do to moving all the time, there's a lot of baby Heather photo's in there as well, when it was just Harry and his daughter. And like any proud father, Harry will show them off. They are suitably adorable and embarrassing.]

And here she is after loosing her first tooth. I think we told her that -

[The door closes in the background and you might hear a familiar voice. Heather's back....]

"Hey dad, what are.....WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[And the feed ends as Heather tackles her father. Responses will come after Heather has given up on trying to pry the album out of her dad's hands.]

If I do, you're just going to go flying backwards.

Not if you do it SLOWLY.

How about this? You let go. And I promise to put it down away from the comm screen.

Nuh uh.

I fell for that trick when I was six, but not anymore!
