00:00Hi, cuties! My name is Amy, and get ready to dive into the drama that is my life,
00:04a real-life soap opera that even Shakespeare would have loved to write.
00:08But first, hit the like and subscribe button.
00:10Now we can start.
00:11You know those apparently perfect families where the father is a smiling, rich businessman,
00:15and the mom is a lovely housewife who does everything for her two blonde,
00:19pink cheek, perfect teeth children?
00:21Yeah, me neither.
00:22Ever since I can remember, in my life, it was only me and my mom, Margot.
00:26My mom loved me, but when it came to my dad,
00:28she made every effort to delete any trace of him, and she did a darn good job.
00:33Mom, I was wondering if my dad...
00:35What dad? Here, have a bag of candies.
00:37It was always like that with mom.
00:39Have a bag of that, or keep this sock of chocolates,
00:42or look, that marshmallow looks like Grandma Teresa.
00:44So instead of finding out anything about him, I just gained a lot of weight.
00:48Eventually, I stopped asking.
00:50Even my mom understood that something was off with me,
00:53when instead of playing with our neighbor's kids outdoors,
00:55I spent all my time locked in my room reading books alone.
00:59At some point, she must have thought that I needed a father figure, which was true,
01:02and decided to get one for me.
01:04Unfortunately, her dating life was so disastrous
01:07that it probably made Cupid consider early retirement.
01:10For real, it was the same thing over and over again.
01:13It went like this.
01:14Amy, please let me introduce you to, insert name, my new boyfriend.
01:18We love each other so much.
01:20Of course, two weeks later, there we were,
01:23indulging in a second bowl of ice cream and watching Titanic,
01:26with her sobbing uncontrollably on my shoulder.
01:28Jack, take me with you.
01:30We were supposed to stay together forever.
01:33Mom, you met him like a month ago.
01:35The best month of my life.
01:37But honestly, my mom had a PhD in ruining her relationships.
01:41All of her boyfriends had a lifespan shorter than a goldfish's memory.
01:44She would get bored of them and then do something to sabotage the relationship.
01:48And then, magically, it was always their fault.
01:51Antonio, the chef, seems like a perfect candidate
01:54because who wouldn't want a dad who can whip up five-star meals?
01:57But then...
01:57Can you believe it?
01:58He left me alone all night to go to a restaurant by himself,
02:01choosing puff pastry over me.
02:03Mom, he works there.
02:05Then there was Marcin.
02:06I thought a cop would keep us safe, right?
02:08But I was expecting a rose or diamond.
02:11But he gifted me a police scanner.
02:13And Philip, I always dreamt of a dad who could always make us laugh.
02:16But he couldn't stay serious for 10 minutes straight.
02:19Well, today, he's the world's most famous comedian.
02:23I was already abandoning the idea of having a stepfather
02:25when my mom came back home one day with a new surprise.
02:28This time, though, I felt something was different.
02:31And I was right.
02:32Here, love.
02:33This is Ben.
02:34Benjamin, this is my daughter, Amy.
02:36What a lovely fairy I see.
02:38Am I welcome into your manor, my fair maiden?
02:41That man was not like the others.
02:43Ben looked older, with such a fine white beard and mustache.
02:46Those small, round spectacles that made him look like some woodsman from old stories.
02:50In my mind, a dad had always been similar to him in appearance.
02:54Surprisingly, Ben actually became a father to me.
02:56And he really knew how to show me his love.
02:59Like that time when I got an A-plus in mathematics
03:01and Ben recited a poem he had written for me.
03:04Here is the smartest of my muses, the shiniest of my lights,
03:08a new Pythagoras in disguise.
03:10Nobody had ever appreciated me so much.
03:13Or that time, December 16th, when I came back home after a full day at school,
03:17only to find the hall full of fat-bearded guys
03:20and Ben in the middle of them shouting toward me.
03:23Surprise!
03:24Happy birthday to our fairy!
03:26Those were Ben's friends from the War Games Club.
03:29I didn't expect any birthday celebration because mom had always forgotten it herself.
03:33But now she was there too, right in the middle of them.
03:36Could Ben have changed her so much?
03:38Ben, I have no words.
03:40It's only my duty to make you smile, my fair maiden.
03:44I hugged him the strongest I could and started crying like a baby.
03:49Sir Benjamin, I love you.
03:51I had finally found a father after 10 years of my life.
03:54And we were like a real happy family.
03:57It felt like a dream.
03:58And like in every dream, at a certain point, I had to wake up.
04:02A few years later, mom started receiving strange phone calls in the middle of the night.
04:06She would pick up quietly like a thief
04:08and go to the bathroom to speak as any guilty teenager would.
04:12Once, I caught her coming out of the bathroom with a suspicious smile on her face.
04:16Who was it?
04:17Oh, just some friend.
04:18Don't worry about it.
04:19Don't worry?
04:20I make a living out of worrying.
04:22I knew something was wrong.
04:23The calls suddenly stopped, but the signs were still there.
04:26Why would mom be sending herself those goofy bouquet cards decorated with plastic roses?
04:31Can't I buy nice things for myself?
04:33Not to mention the gold-sprayed aluminum ring I found she was wearing out of the blue
04:37after a life of hating rings and necklaces.
04:40It's just part of my midlife crisis.
04:42Or the giant heart-shaped balloon we suddenly had in the main hall,
04:45glittery as a disco ball and red as love.
04:48Or hell, wrong address.
04:50Or maybe the wind brought it here.
04:52Yeah, like I'm that dumb.
04:53Then one morning, I was sick at home, searching in my mom's bedroom for her laptop,
04:57ready to consume my eyes in yet another Harry Potter marathon.
05:01Where is it?
05:02At the old laptop.
05:03What is this?
05:04There was a letter on my mom's nightstand.
05:06Strange.
05:07I haven't seen the postman in a while.
05:09My love, I'm like a lost sock just looking for its match.
05:13Ew, so cheesy.
05:15When mom got back home that night, I confronted her.
05:17How could you do this, mom?
05:19Amy, I can explain.
05:20Ben is the only dad I have ever had, and you're betraying him.
05:24If you would only let me talk.
05:25Please.
05:26I don't want to listen to you anymore, mom.
05:28I'm tired of you and your...
05:29MSA won't let me say the next word, but you can imagine what I mean.
05:32I wasn't going to let her ruin our relationship with Ben.
05:35I had to act fast.
05:36So the next day, I went to confront that homewrecker, getting his address from the letter.
05:40I rang the doorbell nonstop.
05:42Open up!
05:43What the...
05:44The man was about to blow up, but when he saw me, surprise filled his eyes.
05:48Ah, you.
05:50Please, come in.
05:51That mysterious man looked like a retired rock star, or an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean.
05:56He invited me inside his great villa, which was full of instruments.
06:00Look, whoever you are, my mom's with someone else.
06:02Just leave us alone.
06:03Don't mess up our lives.
06:04I've barely found my dad, and you...
06:06What if I told you I'm your real dad?
06:09His words hit me like a mute button.
06:11I was eager to meet you again, but your mom thought you weren't ready.
06:14Of course, he could have been lying.
06:16But somehow, I knew he wasn't.
06:18My father disappeared when I was a child.
06:20Amy, I'm really sorry.
06:21Things got messed up between your mom and me back then, but I'm here now.
06:25And I want to be part of your life.
06:26I was left completely speechless.
06:29My mom soon joined us.
06:30Mom looked truly happy after all those years.
06:33She told me she hadn't connected with anyone else because she wasn't over dad,
06:37and only wished for him to stay with us.
06:39Of course, I was thrilled about having my real dad with me again.
06:42But then, a sudden doubt fell upon me, like a spaceship out of fuel.
06:46But then...
06:46He already knows everything, and he still wants to be a part of your life.
06:50We can be a big family.
06:51So, just like that, I went from having no dad to having two.
06:56You would think it's like winning the lottery twice, but not quite.
06:59I felt overwhelmed and with a great weight on me.
07:02Before, I didn't have to worry about disappointing anyone.
07:05But now, I had two dads who had high expectations of me.
07:08And let's say they weren't too fond of each other.
07:12Luke, lower the volume.
07:13Amy's studying.
07:15Oh, just jamming out, man.
07:17Rockstar practice, you know?
07:18Oh, wow.
07:20But I thought rock and roll had been dead for a long time.
07:23Good music never dies.
07:25Besides, aren't you obsessed with knights and things from hundreds of years ago?
07:29Oh, absolutely.
07:30But unlike your music, knights never go out of style.
07:34Come on, guys.
07:35If you really think about it, rockstars and knights have a lot in common.
07:38Like, both loved leather and dying young.
07:42But while some wore armor and swords, the others used guitars and a lot of hairspray.
07:47That made a lot more sense in my head.
07:49Soon, things went even further south.
07:51One day, they forgot to pick me up.
07:53And I had to walk home in the middle of a storm.
07:55When Ben saw me, he went mental.
07:58Luke, you were supposed to pick her up.
08:00I asked you to do one thing as I had an urgent appointment.
08:03Oops, I totally lost track of time making these cookies to surprise her.
08:07Come try one, honey.
08:08As I reached for a cookie, Ben sprang into action like a movie hero,
08:12dove over the couch in slow motion, snapped it from my hand,
08:15and sent the whole tray flying.
08:17These have peanuts.
08:18Amy's your own daughter, and you don't even know she's allergic to peanuts?
08:21Or you just don't care?
08:22I don't even want to remember the fight that followed.
08:25Can you imagine two gunslingers in front of each other,
08:27ready to open fire at the slightest movement?
08:30Well, it was kind of like that.
08:32The constant fighting became a part of my life.
08:34I realized that this was affecting them as well.
08:36Ben looked more deteriorated and tired than ever.
08:39And my dad seemed constantly anxious, as if he was hiding a big secret.
08:44On my first Christmas with my new family, they dove into a full gift duel.
08:48The prize of it wasn't a juicy bounty, but my love.
08:51Dear, I got you Ozzy, your new puppy.
08:54Are you serious?
08:55I got her Lady Godiva, the most majestic kitten in town.
08:59Aw, thank you guys.
09:01I love them both so much.
09:02Of course, getting double presents was quite fun.
09:05But soon, my new pets were casualties of the parents' war.
09:08Lady Godiva was given away to her neighbor's children by my dad
09:12after he definitely saw me sneezing with her nearby.
09:15It was mid-December, by the way.
09:17A few days later, someone shaved Ozzy completely,
09:20making him a pink bear with a black nose.
09:22Oh, that's horrible.
09:25Nobody ever found the mysterious culprit.
09:28Then it came.
09:28December 16th, my birthday again.
09:31My dad must have known what Ben did on my last birthday
09:34and decided it was a good idea to outdo him at his own game.
09:37So he called all of his musician friends to blast a birthday party rock serenade for me.
09:42To my beloved daughter.
09:44You all, the people of the world, rock!
09:47This song is for you!
09:48But then, right before the concert started, another group of people appeared.
09:52Vikings? Romans? Celts?
09:54Who knows?
09:55They were an army of guys dressed for a historic recreation, waving toy spears.
10:00What is all this, Ben?
10:02There is a time for peace and a time for war, Luke.
10:05Men, be ready!
10:06Someone sounded a war horn,
10:08and my birthday soon became like the final battle of Avengers Endgame.
10:12But instead of aliens and superheroes fighting,
10:14I had cosplaying history nerds versus elderly musicians incapable of accepting the passage of time.
10:20A clash for the century!
10:21After watching the battle for a bit,
10:23I went home, all set to blow out the candles and dive into the cake.
10:26But I found my so-called perfect family in the middle of a loud argument.
10:30What are you even doing here, man?
10:32Amy's with her real parents.
10:34She doesn't need you anymore.
10:35This whole uncle situation is bizarre.
10:37That's true.
10:38Explaining it to people is a real pickle.
10:41Say what you want, but I've been her father longer than you.
10:44Well, he has a point about that.
10:46Her father?
10:47A history nerd with a Willy Wonka mustache?
10:49You must be joking.
10:50I don't think Willy Wonka has a mustache.
10:53My mother's mediation skills are truly out of this world.
10:56Why don't we let her decide then?
10:59Oh, no.
10:59Yeah, she's old enough to decide who should be her dad.
11:02No, I am not!
11:04Mom, you are my last hope.
11:05Please stop this madness.
11:07Maybe that's for the best.
11:09Thanks for nothing, Mom.
11:10So, that's how it is.
11:11You're piling your responsibilities onto me?
11:14Why can't you guys understand?
11:15I want both of you in my life.
11:17But if you can't handle that,
11:18I'd rather have neither than choose between you two.
11:21I was ready to storm out,
11:22but then my dad said something really strange.
11:25Are you happy, Ben?
11:26This was your master plan?
11:28First, you found me,
11:28then you invited me to your cosplay parties
11:31and made me realize that I should get back with Margo.
11:33Why did you do all that if you didn't want me here?
11:36Everybody's eyes went on Ben at those words.
11:38Mine, too.
11:39What was all that about?
11:40You're absolutely right, Luke.
11:42I shouldn't be here at all.
11:43I'm really sorry, Amy.
11:44Then Ben darted away,
11:46leaving things abruptly.
11:47What the hell is going on?
11:48I ran after Ben,
11:49just in time to catch him
11:50while he was already at the park, gasping.
11:52He doesn't look too good.
11:54He fainted the very next moment.
11:56Ben, what is going on?
11:57Are you okay?
11:58Ben!
11:58We rushed him to the hospital
12:00and a few hours later, he woke up.
12:02I guess my plan didn't run as smoothly
12:05as it did in my mind.
12:06Why did you do all this, Ben?
12:08My heart is breaking, Amy.
12:10Literally.
12:11The only thing keeping it together is you.
12:14I would love to be with you forever,
12:15but the doctors made it clear it's impossible.
12:18When I found out,
12:19I immediately sought your dad
12:20and asked him to come back.
12:22I wanted someone to be there for you,
12:24after me.
12:25But then when I saw you and him together,
12:27I got so jealous.
12:28I thought you'd forget me for good.
12:30I already had tears in my eyes again.
12:33I could barely force myself to speak.
12:35Ben, I will never forget you
12:37and you are not leaving me, at all.
12:40I had no idea you did all this.
12:42Luke didn't tell me anything.
12:43Yes, because I asked him not to.
12:45It was a secret quest, eh?
12:47Like the ancient knights did.
12:49I did it for Amy, Margo.
12:51I had to.
12:52I'm sorry for lying, but...
12:56Cough made it impossible for Ben
12:57to go on talking.
12:59I just hugged him so hard,
13:01as if trying to protect him.
13:02A few days later,
13:03Ben came back home with us
13:04and it was as if he and dad
13:06were two totally different persons.
13:08They put their jealousies and fights aside
13:10and became something like best friends.
13:12Dad even helped and cared for Ben
13:14throughout his illness.
13:15One night, when they thought
13:16mom and I were sleeping,
13:17I overheard them talk.
13:19I will never be able to thank you enough
13:21for bringing me back to my family.
13:23What you did is just...
13:24It's okay, Luke.
13:25You're a great man.
13:27I'm just happy you are in Amy's life.
13:29You both deserve each other.
13:31They hugged before wishing each other goodnight.
13:33I went to sleep with the biggest smile
13:35I had ever worn in my entire life.
13:38Now, a lot of time has passed
13:39and a lot of things have changed.
13:41I'm not a child anymore
13:42and my groom is in front of me,
13:44waiting for my yes, I do.
13:47Mom and dad are by my side,
13:48happily together and smiling at me.
13:50And even if I can't see you in the same way, Ben,
13:53I know you are here too,
13:55sitting silently between the seats
13:56of this splendid church
13:58and looking at me with your peaceful gray eyes.
14:01You are as real as the photo of you
14:03I have inside of the pearl-shaped necklace
14:05I always keep by my heart.
14:07As I have promised you,
14:08I never forgot you, Ben.
14:10All that you did for me,
14:11from your silly poems
14:12to the way you tied my shoes,
14:14you will always live with me.
14:15You'll always be my guardian angel
14:17and I, Amy, your fair maiden.
