1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,160
Hey Dinks, want to know a secret?

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,880
You're a cat, so I know you won't tell anyone.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,200
Hmm, I'll take your silence for yes.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,360
And it's not that much of a secret, I mean, everyone knows that a witch meets her soulmate

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,360
on Halloween night, but only if her birthday falls on a full moon that year.

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,600
That's why I've been waiting for so long.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Some witches grow up knowing their soulmate, but not me, my birthday just never seems to

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,040
fall on a full moon.

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,320
I've been trying to be patient, but it's been hard watching all my friends meet the

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,480
love of their lives.

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,480
Of course you're great, Dinks, but I can be a bit lonely when your best friend is a cat.

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,000
But that's all about to change, this year is the year, my birthday is on a full moon,

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,200
I ran the lunar calculations to be sure, twice, well actually like five times.

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,200
I just had to be sure, I didn't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:15,200
But there's no denying it anymore, the math is right, I'll meet him this Halloween.

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,400
I'm so nervous, I hope he likes me, but he has to like me right, he's my soulmate, I've

17
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:32,040
never heard of someone not liking their soulmate, I don't think that happens, but it could happen

18
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,040
to me though.

19
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,320
Oh god, what if I'm the first witch to have a soulmate who hates her, oh my god I'd be

20
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:43,360
so mortified, I couldn't even look at him, how is that even going to work, am I supposed

21
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,400
to just go on leading our separate lives, it's not like I want someone who hates me

22
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,720
following me around everywhere, I mean I don't think he'd want that either, how sad would

23
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:03,640
that be, two soulmates forever bound together except all they want is to be apart, what,

24
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,880
with my luck it can happen, oh stop giving me that look, what do you know, you're just

25
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:18,560
a cat, okay knock it off, what are you doing anyway, you're trying to get me to stop catastrophising.

26
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Guess what, because you're a cat and you want me to stop catastrophising, well that's fine,

27
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:36,680
my sense of humour is lost on you, maybe he would have thought that was funny, he'll definitely

28
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:45,760
hate me if he doesn't like puns, although hating puns is kind of hate, yep there's a

29
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:53,360
good kind of hate, I don't think cats know about it but I do, it's a safe kind of hate,

30
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,560
it only happens with people that know each other well and you can drive each other crazy

31
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,040
because you both feel safe with each other and secretly you kind of like it when they

32
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:14,000
drive you crazy, yeah I guess it is kind of like owning a cat but there's just something

33
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000
special about it happening between two humans, maybe even something almost magical, I don't

34
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,920
normally tease people like that all the time, it must be nice, yeah I've thought about him

35
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,400
teasing me and sometimes they pretend to look mad but then I end up collapsing in his arms

36
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:44,560
or that's how I imagine it at least, that sounds nice doesn't it, I know that I shouldn't

37
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,080
expect too much but it's just, it's been hard not to imagine him from time to time, I've

38
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,560
been waiting for so long, stop giving me that look, I haven't been imagining what he looks

39
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,920
like or anything, just what he might be like, you know his personality, in truth I don't

40
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,040
care much about his appearance, I know I'll probably find him handsome if he's my soulmate

41
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:24,120
but that's not the important part, I just want him to love me and I want to love him,

42
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:34,560
it's as simple as that, I want him to look at me and see me for who I am, all of me,

43
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,960
I want him to know all of my strengths and weaknesses, I want him to understand all my

44
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:51,080
mistakes and I want him to love every inch of me, me just as I am, I hope that's not

45
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,760
asking for too much, I'm a soulmate right, I mean I'd do the same for him of course,

46
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:03,640
I'd love every inch no matter what, it would just be so nice to have that kind of connection

47
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:13,720
with somebody, to feel totally and completely safe with him, it happens so rarely and for

48
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,560
some it never happens at all, I guess witches are lucky in that respect, at least we get

49
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:28,400
a chance at love, I just have to not mess it up, no pressure I guess, I hope I make

50
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,240
a good first impression, heaven knows I've practised enough times, I couldn't stop myself

51
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,320
from imagining how we would meet, when I was younger he would always come and find me on

52
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,840
a playground or he would chase off a bully or catch me as I fell off the swing or something,

53
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:51,760
maybe we're too old for that now, I still like playgrounds but the vision has shifted

54
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:58,120
as I've grown up, I still want it to be outside though with the full colours all around us,

55
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,440
maybe we'll meet by the fountain in the park, I'll be reading on a bench when a strong gust

56
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,440
of wind blows away my hat and I'll chase after it and nearly fall into the water but

57
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:17,480
he'll catch me just in time and I'll look embarrassed but I don't mind, give me a shy

58
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:29,000
smile and I'll melt a little inside and then he'll blush and ask me about my book and it

59
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,800
turns out that it's his favourite book too and then we'll talk about the book and once

60
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,080
we can't anymore we'll talk about nothing in particular just because we want to keep

61
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:45,280
talking and we'll get so lost in each other's thoughts that we'll forget the time and after

62
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,880
hours have passed we'll look up and realise that the sun is setting and neither of us

63
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,880
want to leave but both of us will have somewhere to be and there'll be a party to go to, a

64
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:03,040
friend that needs attending but he'll offer to walk me home so he can be by my side just

65
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:10,320
a few minutes longer and I'll let him because I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet so we'll

66
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,640
walk slowly as we can back down the winding streets to my home and offer me his jacket

67
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:24,440
when he sees me shivering against the cold and I'll ask as coyly as I can if he minds

68
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:34,560
keeping my hand warm by holding it and once he touches my hand I'll never want to let

69
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,560
go.

70
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Once we finally get to my doorstep he'll try to stumble through goodbye because he doesn't

71
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:49,480
want to upset me by asking anything more and I'm too shy to ask for what I want but once

72
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,800
I watch him walking away I'll feel a pain of regret I'll be so worried that I've missed

73
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,760
my chance so I won't be able to resist calling out to him come back here and kiss me and

74
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:07,680
come back to me with laughing eyes and run straight into my arms and pick me up and twirl

75
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:18,040
me around and kiss me as the leaves twirl around us he'll be mathematical and I won't

76
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:25,360
be able to move or even breathe all I'll be able to do is enjoy the taste of his lips

77
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:34,840
and wish our moment would never end as he sets me back down I look into his eyes and

78
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:42,640
I want to love him already but my head will tell my heart that it's too soon and I won't

79
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:49,120
know what to say so I'll just kiss him again instead and he'll kiss me back and it will

80
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:58,000
be just as magical as the first time maybe then he'll know he's my soulmate maybe his

81
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:07,360
head will be trying to talk him out of it too he won't say it of course it's be too

82
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:16,040
soon that's crazy to talk about so he'll just enjoy holding me part of me won't want

83
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,720
to invite him in but I just won't be able to tear myself away from his arms even for

84
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:31,160
a moment so we'll stand there together in silence but it will be the good kind of silence

85
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,640
the intimate kind that only happens when you're so close with someone that you no longer feel

86
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,960
any pressure to speak and watch daylight fade and all the jack-o-lanterns slowly light up

87
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:54,080
it will be so beautiful but all good moments have to end as children start running around

88
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,800
the street in costumes he realises that he has to go I'll see in his eyes that he doesn't

89
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,840
really want to leave but I'll know that he must so I'll assure him that I have had the

90
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:20,480
plentiful and he tries to persuade himself to let me go and I'll gently kiss my forehead

91
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:28,600
and bid me adieu and I'll stand on the porch and watch him leave because I won't be able

92
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:35,320
to take my eyes off him when I finally lose sight of him I'll tend to go back inside the

93
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,600
house then I'll realise I'm still wearing his jacket but this time I won't call out

94
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:54,320
to him because I want to use it as an excuse to see him again and that's how I want me

95
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,920
to do it maybe it's asking too much but in truth I don't care about the details it doesn't

96
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:25,920
have to happen exactly like that I just hope that it's magical I really really hope that
