Third Person

Dipper had gotten up early in the morning since yesterday they were told that they were doing something important. He wasn't filled into what they had in store for today, but he did what he was told. He waited patiently for someone to pick him up from his room since he didn't want to wander off and have them look for him. He heard a soft knock on the door and he went to open it to see Maybell with both brothers behind her.

"Good morning," Dipper smiled softly.
"Good morning," The three responded.
"We must get going," Maybell said, "We have visitors coming soon and we should be there before them."
"Okay," Dipper smiled.

Dipper quickly closed his door and followed everyone to wherever they were being led too. Dipper asked what was happening and Maybell looked at the twins so they could explain what was happening today.

"Our mother made a program where children from the kingdom will come visit us every month for treats, games, and education," Bill explained, "It's to give back to the community."
"That is sweet," Dipper awed.
"Do you have things similar to this?" Will asked.
"Nothing like this," Dipper told them, "When my parents did pass everything did stop. My uncles didn't bother to continue what my parents did, but my sister and I did promise ourselves when one of us becomes king or queen that we would continue what my parents did."
"That's interesting," Will said.
"Do the children enjoy this?" Dipper asked.
"They seem too," Bill answered, "Some of them get bored with the education part, but who doesn't get a bit bored of that."
"That's true," Dipper chuckled.
"We're in the garden today, correct?" Will asked Maybell.
"Yes, we are," Maybell smiled.
"Is there anything that I should know before meeting everyone?" Dipper asked.
"There is a little fairy girl named Tessa. Three months ago she was in an accident which caused one of her wings to be damaged. Most of the wing had to be removed so there wouldn't be infection," Maybell told Dipper.

Dipper quickly tensed up when he heard removed and wing in the same sentence.

"Poor girl," Dipper mumbled, "Was it that bad?"
"It was," Maybell said,"She's been depressed ever since. Do not mention anything about her wings at all cost."
"I promise," Dipper told her.

They arrived at the garden and waited in the middle of it for the children to arrive. Soon enough they start to see around twenty-five kids being led to the middle by guards. They were filled with energy as they raced around the garden. Today was speical for the boys since it would be the first time that they would be alone with the kids. Maybell had to do important errands along side the king and couldn't stay for long.

"Children come here!" Maybell shouted for them.

They all followed her instructions and surrounded her.

"I hope you are all excited about today," She smiled.
"Yeah!" Most of them cheered.
"We have a special guest that will be joining us for the rest of the year," Maybell told them, "You must show him the same respect as the other two princes since he is a prince as well. He is very sweet and I'm sure you will all love him."
"Hello children," Dipper smiled softly at the kids, "You may all call me, Dipper."

As Maybell talked Dipper looked at all the kids and saw how excited they all were, well except for one. She was behind everyone while wearing a cloak looking down at her feet. He assumed that she must have been Tessa. He knew that he had to make her smile at least once since losing her wing had such a toll on her.

They started with their educational part of the morning first before having fun. Will, Bill, and Dipper read off of the book to teach the kids new things. They all asked questions and the three answered as best as they could. Dipper would sometimes ramble about other things and the kids paid attention to that as well. He gave them random facts about the plants and wildlife that lived in the garden that he knew. The kids took more interest in that than the other things.
