The Squash Festival, a festival where people come together to celebrate the changing of seasons from winter to spring. The air was warming up and this meant new beginnings, the time for change, and you had to just accept it because of it was life.
The streets of Saintsburg were crowded, people coming from all over the state to experience something that Saintsburg took great pride in. The streets were covered in white, from small flowers that decorated arches set up over the walkways to the stalls that lined the streets with merchants grabbing possible customers attention with whatever they were selling. It was a great time for tarot readings and fortune tellers to be out and about to tell people what could possibly be coming.
People also took time to connect with community which was also something that they took pride in, being able to bring people together when it seemed like nothing could bring them in. Running through the halls two people were excusing themselves as they felt giddiness about the festivities,

" Come on!! We are going to miss it if you don't hurry up!!!" Amira says her white heels clicking on the stone streets as she dodges on goers who were standing in line for their food and completely ignoring the people from the stands calling for her to see their product. Y/N was tripping trying to follow behind her, just wanting to experience the festival like everyone else, but they had came too late to actually enjoy everything. It was a tradition since they were younger to come here and explore the festivities without their parent's knowledge. Since then they came every year, it was the only thing that kept them going sometimes because it was their escape.
    There was a tap at Y/N's shoulder and she whips around seeing a woman with a random card in her hand, she smiles politely, and denies the card. She got the same card every year, Death, and it was starting to concern her. It just meant new beginning but having to loose something in the process and not knowing truly what she is going to lose.
    "Y/N where are you at?" Amria smiles and takes my hands,
    "Sorry we are trying to get somewhere" she pulls her away and was so focused on getting to their spot before the firework show started. Y/N dug her heels against the stone trying to pull her to a stop. She feels the pull and turns around releasing her grip,
"We still have 30 minutes before the firework show and it takes us five minutes to get to our spot. What is the rush?" Amira sighs and brushes her fingers through her long hair and chuckles,
"I don't want to miss it" she grabs Y/N's hands and smiles "It's been a whole tradition since we were kids and I don't want to ruin something that was the only good thing that happens to us" You could tell she was hiding something, she often told on herself by biting her cheek and rubbing her elbow as she talked,
"We have our whole lives ahead of us,why should we rush it?" Her sister sighs and looks around,
"Fine, maybe like two stalls but then we are booking it!" Y/N grins and looks around trying to find a spot in the line to some stalls, her mouth salivating at the different spices that filled the air. The sounds of grills and the popping of the wood as the stall worker poked it to keep it alive filled her ears. She closes her eyes and breathes in relaxing her shoulders before just scouring the stalls finding cute charms she could add to her already decorated bag. There were small pins of different animals, anime, fictional characters, and gamers that she enjoyed watching in her free time.
Quickly picking up a small charm of a cute death character, looking at the wood engraving and smiling at the absolute perfection it was,
"Excuse me miss, How much is this?" The lady turns away from a finished customer and looks at her with a smile on her face,
"Well, wood carved characters are $20 each but since it is the last day of the festival I'll give it to you for $5" her mouth fell agape and quickly pulled out her wallet and pulling out a $20 and smiled,
"have a great day!!" Y/N quickly grabs Amira arm as the lady was just about to ask about the change. They ran away from the stall quickly before stopping to get air. Y/N chuckles as she leans over with her hands on her knees wheezing for air,
"What did we run for?" Her sister shakes her head, her arms crossed in a manner that meant tell the whole truth,
"You know how today is the last day?" Her sister nods her head, "Well, she tried to make her product from 20 to 5 dollars and I couldn't do that so i um" she felt her ears go red, there was a better way she could have done that "So i slammed down a $20 and ran so she couldn't guilt tip me to keeping the money" Amria cracks a smile and pats her sisters back,
"God you suck ass" she gapes and pushes her sister away
"HEY! It proably took a long time for that much detail okay, i was not going to do that to her" she shakes her head and they start walking down the street looking at other tables and there was sounds of people warning that there was 20 minutes left till the firework show.
Y/N looks around and spots a cute stand that wasn't looking too busy. She drags her sister to the stand and looks at the treats on display. There were fruits like mangos, strawberries, grapes, and even mochi on skewers with a thin layer of sugar on them giving them a glassy look. Looking at the other options there were cake pops, small slices of cakes. one was a white chocolate vanilla cake with raspberry and cream filling, on top was a raspberries and white chocolate curls that gave the cake depth and detail.
"What can I help you with?" Tina, as her nametag read, quickly setting down more treats,
"hey, I do have a bit of a big order" Y/N sheepishly look to the treats again,
"oh thats fine, here I'll even get my little helper to join" quickly leaning down coming up with a small creature up. They seemed to be a tiger of sorts but there was a mix of yellows and gold mixing along her stripes, they were wearing a cute button up with gold details and an apron with an embroidered picture of a skewer filled with fruits. Y/N leans closer and smiles, the tigers ears flick as they pull back in embarrassment before shyly introducing herself,
"I'm Tigress, I'm going to help you today" she gave a toothy smile and spread out her arms, her paws were just the cutest things in the world, she wanted to reach down and give her a pat but she was scared that she would crush her,
"well thank you Tigress, I'm sure you'll do fabulous" she gave the small creature a wink and Tigress carefully climbs off Tinas hands and starts getting to work.
"Thank you ma'am for being polite, there are people who just don't understand that she isn't a pet but a friend. A companion." She tilts her head in confusion,
"what is she anyways? I'm not really knowledgeable about things" Tina gladly explained that she was a Bitty, which is characterized by a creature that is small enough to fit in a humans palm, they were domesticated during the early 2000's and were used for getting into small places and then Europe, specifically Japan, studied them classifying them as sentient which pulled them away from drug testing and more into companions.
"wow, thats super interesting" she looks to the little tiger that was struggling to push the box that held her sweets. Tina quickly helped her as Y/N dug into her wallet to pay them and Tina pulled something from her Arron pocket and gave it to her. She took it and looked at it, on the front was cursive writing 'Betty's Bitty Shop' in gold alongside an address and phone number.
She looks up from the card and at Tina,
"I wanted to take most of my profit today and donate to this bitty shop because Tigress came from there and they made the process really easy but safely" she smiles and puts a coin in her hand, it was only a quarter but the look on the tigress's face was absolutely worth it.
"Thank you!!" She places the coin down and brings herself up the counter with much struggle but Tina helps her up, she creeps towards, and mentions for Y/N's hand and hugs it,
"It's no problem, you did a good job" with that they grab the box and wave goodbye, there was 7 minutes before the show starts so they walk up the hill to the entrance of the woodsy area to the small clearance where they could see the firework show. It was a surprise that someone hadn't found it just yet, it was the perfect spot, you could see the whole town and watch the lanterns that are released for love ones go into the air.
Once they settle into the grass, laying out a blanket to not to dirty the white dresses, and Y/N places down her box of sweets overall settling for a slice of that mouth watering cake and two different skewers filled with different fruits,
"Alright, lets see what you got " she puts the box to her chest and shakes her head,
"You are NOT getting any of my food! You were literally rushing me to get here and it took less than two minutes to set up and be ready. So it's mine" she quickly opens the box and taking a bite of everything. Amric sighs and looks into the sky leaning against her hands. The stars were out tonight and many constalations were shinning from where they were sitting. They often came up here before and after the festival was over just to relax and get things off their chest.
There was silence between the two girls before the youngest holds out one of the skewers and the oldest grabs it taking a bite, it wasn't an awkward silence just comfortable but it seemed like something wasn't being said.
Then the fireworks started and everybody cheers as the countdown of winter ends and the spring begans,
    "You'll never leave me right?" Y/N looks back at Amria and smiles, there was a bit of silence
    "No I won't"

    "I can't see anything!" her sister said stomping her foot against the ground, huffing, and crossing her arms. The oldest looked up, there was a small hill on the side of town that overlooks the towns center but getting there would be the problem. She grabs her sister and starts going to the woods passing by families that were setting up the blankets for the firework show. They had picnic baskets filled with all sorts of foods like pineapples and mangos alongside Pesto cheese Bread.
    She goes to the entrance of the woods and looks around, the sound of people cheering makes her heart beat faster and she knew that the firework show was about to start,
    "Sissy, are we going to miss it?" She looks and smiles over her shoulder shaking her head 'no'. She moves branches and leans over trying to see if there was a break from the woods. She felt her sister pull her back and she turns around seeing her sister had tripped over a root of a tree. She had caught herself before her face hit the ground and her knees were bleeding. She bends down patting her shoulder and her sister gets up limping before wrapping her arms around her neck. Quickly picking her up and making sure everything was good before continuing the search. Soon there was a break in the trees and there it was.
    The clif over the town square was right there and the sound of a firework shooting into the air and there was a beautiful show of fireworks.
    "Sissy" she sets her down on the grass and sits down besides her,
    "yes?" She grabs something out of the bag over her shoulder and hands it to her sister. In her hands was a tarot card, Death, the ending of a situation and new beginnings.
    She takes the card from her sister and smiles,
    "Did you get this from someone?" She nods her head and takes the card from her sister,
    "yeah, she told me that something new is coming but there is something i have to lose first" Her sister grabs her hands as the last firework went off and smiles,
    "I'll never leave you"
