Feeling the warm glow of the sun setting behind my back, I plucked a tiny bright blue flower from the grass on my side, twisting it to the end of the flower garland that I was making. After I twisted it on the end, I attached the other end with the bright blue flower, creating a full circle. Fluffy, the cute white bunny that always follows me around whenever I'm outside near the forest, suddenly appeared beside me, her fur resembling the color of embers due to the sun's glow against her fur.

"Do you think they'll like it, Fluffy?" I asked the bunny, showing my handmade flower garlands to her. Fluffy stood on her hind legs and started to sniff the garlands, her pink nose twitching in the most adorable way that made me giggle in delight.

"Briar, it's time to get inside," Auntie Flora called from the doorway of our small cottage adorned with pretty little flowers that never seemed to wilt nor fade away, her tall and slim figure covered with the setting sun's bright orange beam. I looked up from the three small garlands of blue and red flowers that I weaved with my skillful little fingers, smiling towards Aunt Flora with a toothy grin.

"Yes, Auntie Flora," I cried with happiness, standing up and running towards my Auntie, the floral garlands in my hands clutched softly so that the flowers won't get crushed by the force I use to hold the flowers while Fluffy hopped back to her home in the woods. When I reached Auntie Flora, I threw my hands up to indicate that I would appreciate it if I was carried. She gave a small chuckle before picking me up, placing me on her right hip as she closes the door behind us.

"Did you have fun today, Briar?" Auntie Flora asked me, and I nodded my head enthusiastically creating a sparkle of happiness in her bright blue eyes.

"What's that sweetie?" Auntie Flora asked me, looking down at the garlands I still held in my hands.

"I made flower garlands for Auntie Flora, Auntie Fauna and Auntie Merryweather," I cried happily, placing one on top of Auntie Flora's blond hair. That made her chuckle in delight as we ascend the stairs up towards my room.

"It's very beautiful, Briar. I really love it," Auntie Flora said while we entered my room, the light green walls calming me as it usually does. My room was decorated by all of three my Aunties. That's why pink, blue and green are the only color that can be seen in my room. It has light green walls with powder-blue colored shaggy carpet and a pink canopy bed with the sheets the color of the soft grass in our front yard. I actually prefer the color purple, but if I tell them that, it would ruin their fun and I don't want to do that.

"And its also filled with magic that makes you happy and gives you happy thoughts to smile about!" I added with enthusiasm. That seemed to place a large grin on Auntie's face, though it looked a bit weird. Forced maybe. But that can't be right.

"That makes it even better. Thank you, honey. Now go and get ready for bed while I give these to Auntie Fauna and Auntie Merryweather," she suggested, placing me back down on the ground and daintily grabbing the garlands from my hands. I nodded my head before walking to the bathroom inside my room. I climbed up on the wooden stool and feverishly brushed my teeth with a purple toothbrush with a picture of a unicorn on it. I like unicorns. They look funny and they're always around rainbows and happy things.

After I rinsed, I stepped down from the stool and headed back inside my room to change my dress into a nightgown. When I reached my closet, I chose a blue nightgown that would make Auntie Merryweather happy because her favorite color is blue. Ten minutes after Auntie Flora left, all three of them came back in my room, ready to tuck me in and tell me my favorite bedtime story, all of them wearing the wreaths I made on the tops of their heads.
