Today was colder than the last, so Aidan suggested that we stop by the nearest town to get jackets and actual food. We walked through the crowded streets trying not to loose each other. After awhile we found a clothing shop. Inside was a short plump woman with wild blonde hair and a sweet smile.
"Welcome! Are you here for the festival?" The woman asked."No, we are just passing by. What's the festival for?" Flora asked getting interested.
"Oh it's for the season change. Everyone is really excited for it."she answered." So what are you guys looking for?"
"Jackets please." I chimed in. The lady turned her head towards me and had a look on her face like she didn't realize I was there until just then. Her face slowly turned into a smile and hurried off to the back of the room. Before picking up anything she examined us from were she was. Not before long we had beautiful jackets on. Mine was white and had white fur trim around the hood. Flora's was black with gray fur trim. Aidan's looked similar to Flora's and mine, except it didn't have fur. Sarel on the other hand didn't get a coat, for he said he could withstand any form of weather. As we left Flora was jumping with joy.
"We should stay for the festival, it would be so much fun." She said.
"I don't think we have time. What do you guys think?" I asked Aidan and Sarel.
"We may have to get a hotel but other than that it seems fine." Aidan answered looking around.
"I agreed plus it would be nice, to play music for a crowd of people." Sarel smiled lifting up a wooden flute he had in his bag.
"Well that settles it, we will stay for the festival." I said with delight. Flora squeeled and we headed off to the nearest hotel. We checked in and placed our stuff in the hotel room. It had two bedrooms and each bedroom had two beds. We agreed that the boys would have one and Flora and I get the other. Before we knew it, it was dark and the festival had begun.
As we walked down the crowded street, I looked over at Flora and noticed that her and Sarel were holding hands. They were enjoying talking with each other, they were happy. I had a suspension that they have something going on that I didn't know about. Aidan noticed and suddenly grabbed my hand. His hands were rough and gentle. My heart skipped a beat and Aidan looked away from me.
"Just so we don't get separated." He mentioned under his breath.
"O-okay" I responded with a small frown. We didn't say a word to each other until I noticed a table selling jewelry. I pointed at a beautiful silver bracelet with the same rainbow crystal as my sword on it. "Aidan look, it's beautiful."
He looked at it for a second and pulled out some money and handed it to the woman selling the jewelry and picked up the bracelet and handed it to me.
"Here," Aidan said and lifted my hand to put it on my wrist. "For you."
"Thanks, but you didn't have to do that." I responded looking him in his icy blue eyes.
"Yes I did."
"But- but now I have to give you something."
"No you don't it's a gift." He insisted as I turned to the woman and handed her some of my money. I picked up a simple leather bracket with beads of the same black rainbow crystal as mine. I lifted his wrist and tied the bracelet around it. I met his icy blue eyes and moments later he engulfed me in a hug. My face was buried in his chest and the smell of the forest met my nose. I hugged him back for what seemed like forever before he let go and held my hand once more before heading back onto the street.
The festival was wonderful we ate fried foods and played games to win money. It was all around fun, we won some games and joked around and when it was time for the fireworks I pecked Aidan on the cheek. Which surprised both Aidan and me, he then wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close as each firework exploded in the air.

When we got to the hotel I flopped on my bed and gave Flora the 'you have a crush' look.
"What's that look for?"She asked getting under the covers.
"You have a crush" I sang in a soft enough tone so the boys would hear.
"No I don't me and Sarel are just friends." She whispered. "Besides what relationship do you call your's and Aidan's?"
"I don't know but I like it and want it to stay that way." I answered.
"Just don't get to attached, remember your marrying Arnold."
"I know I wish it didn't have to be that way though."
"Life's tough, sometimes your life is already planned for you..." She said drifting off to sleep and it wasn't long till I drifted off too.
