Flower and the Berries

A Worrying Arrow and a Excited Flurry

"Where were you?" said Arrow, "I was about to go looking for you." "How long was I gone?" I asked. "Long enough for me to start worrying," he said. "Sorry, but I have some good news. I got a berry collector!" "What! How could you pick one so quickly?" "Oh, just something told me- Hello Queen Wildflower, can I call you Flower, Queen Wildflower, is way too long."

"Hello Flurry, what are you doing here?" "I wanted to see him, what's that on your leg? Leafy thingies, and brown sticks? Huh?" "Flurry this is my friend Arrow, Arrow this is the new berry collector Flurry." "Isn't it so cool I'm going to be queen one day!" said Flurry holding up her head high. "Very cool," said Arrow. "Flurry, I want you to do something, I want you to ask Cranny for some pinkberries and help him collect some." "Pinkberries? Ok, who's Crann?" "He is a very good cook." "Ohhh, ok, bye."

"At least that got her away for a minute." I said. "That was nice, she has a good spirit," said Arrow. "Do you think I picked the right fox?" "I think you did," Arrow glanced at the sky, "It's getting late, we should go back to your den, and get some things ready for moving to the bramble palace." "You know it just came to mind, what would happen if humans attacked, or wolves?" "Then we would have to fight. Come on."

Arrow stood up and stretched, using his three legs. "Stretching is hard with three legs," he said. "I bet it is," stifling laughter. "What's so funny?" "It just looks so funny the position you're in." I burst out laughing. "Very funny. Let's go." he said grumpily.

Walking, I nodded to the foxes in gratitude for cleaning up. Making our way to the den Arrow and I silently walked, with me breaking the silence. "Remember you still have to stay with me so you don't do anything crazy." "I would stay with you as long as I live. Can I ask you something?" "Yesss," "Actually tell you something?" "Ok, tell me." "Nevermind, later I'll tell you." "Aww, come on, tell me." "You'll have to wait," he said. I sighed, "I guess I'll wait."

We walked in silence, all the way back to the den.
