Rose finally reached the sisters' cottage. It was small, but it was very lovely home. There were a bunch of colorful flowers and oddly beautiful fungi that grew in the garden. It made Rose think of a fairy garden. Rose had heard stories about fairies. There was debate as to whether they existed or not. Some people say that they were small; some say that they're the size of humans.
And then there were those that said that fairies born with an evil heart aren't fairies at all. They were called witches. Rose had never seen a witch either, but she was sure they were real. Hell, she was positive that Avonmora was secretly a witch.
Rose and Honkers approached the front door. The clanging of various pots and pans could be heard coming from inside. "What in the world is going on in there?" Rose wondered out loud.
"It sounds like some kind of party in there" Honkers somehow thought. "How come we weren't invited?"
Rose giggled at her goose friend. "I don't think they're having a party, Honkers. I'm thinking it may be chore day" She knocked on the door. Everything fell eerily silent and then a voice spoke.
"Who is it?" It was Fiona's voice, the eldest of the three sisters.
"It's Rose"
Suddenly, there was a loud crashing noise. And someone also made a shrieking noise. It sounded like Briona, the youngest sister. After a moment the door was opened by Liona, the middle sister. A smile graced upon her beautiful face. "Hello dear"
"Liona, is everything alright?"
"Yes. Everything is fine" Liona said.
Rose peeked over her shoulder. There were a whole bunch of dishes, utensils, and pots and pans scattered all over the floor. "Really? Because it seems like you made quite the mess in here"
Briona popped up beside Liona. "It's dish day for us! Our messiest cleaning day"
"Girls, step aside and let our Rose inside" Fiona said. The two sisters stepped aside, and Rose and Honkers entered the small home. "Hungry? We've made a few sandwiches"
"Please!" Rose took a seat at the table. "I've been cleaning all morning. I haven't the time to make myself even a small meal"
Honkers hopped onto one of the other empty chairs. "Just bread crumbs for me. I'm looking a little puffy these days and it isn't from my feathers"
Briona giggled at the goose. "You're not puffy. You're pleasantly fluffy" She placed a plate of bread crumbs in front of Honkers. "You're adorable" Briona gushed over the goose. Honkers' feathers puffed out. That was his version of blushing.
Fiona placed the sandwich in front of Rose. "What brings you by today?"
"A couple of things, actually" Rose began, pausing to take a bite out of her sandwich. "One, I was hoping to pick more cherries from your tree today"
