Chapter 8: Memories II

A/N: Hii there! Sorry for taking a month with this chapter, I was planning to be happy and inspired enough to write about this but ehh... Sadness came and I didn't wanted to ruin it by writing this part while being sad.

This time, it's reader's point of view. You can play the video since I tried to synchronize it along with the music while writing it.
I have to thank you all for being so kind and taking time to read this story. I just decided to give it a try while being unsure because English is not my first language and well... just enjoy the chapter and thanks again for taking time to check out this story!

Fun fact: This story has 7 timelines, which has started from the last one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the awaited celebration of the Lost Princess of Corona and there's no way I would miss it!
I looked at myself on a little mirror, brushing my hair and getting ready to go and explore every place on Corona. I was completely excited because Spots and I were meeting Varian and his father at the town!

I have heard stories about the lanterns floating around and I hope this time I'm not busy or don't fall asleep too early like the last year...

-(N/n), Varian and his father are here!- I hear my mom shout from downstairs and pick up Spots and leaving him on the bag without closing it so he can have air.

-Let's go, Spots! I will buy you some cookies later, okay?- I softly pet his head and he purred, letting out a cute "meow".

I walked downstairs, meeting mom and hugging her with a smile on my face. She's just the sweetest mom I could wish for and although the others hate cats for invading their shops, she received Spots.

-Are you really taking Spots with you?- I nodded and looked straight at her, hearing a soft laugh from her part.

-Take care of both, Quirin, will you? (N/n) can be a clueless and curious, just as her kitty.- Varian's father sighed and smiled as I pouted playfully.

After hugging my mom one last time, I made her promise that she would be in time for the lantern and then we walked out of our home. It was still afternoon but there was a lot to explore around the festival and whatnot!

-I'm so excited I don't know where to go!- Varian and Quirin stopped for a moment as I saw my friend thinking where we should go first.

-What about we go for some sweets? I heard Uncle Monty is cooking sun-shaped cookies!- I gasped and nodded quickly, grabbing his gloved-hand and running off towards the sweets shop, hearing Quirin follow us while chuckling.

Later that day, the three of us sat down, having at least sweets and talking about the best place to enjoy the beautiful lanters. It seems that this year, the townspeople really put their heart into the decoration because everywhere I looked, I could see sun-shaped pennants, boys and girls painting many suns on the ground. Even a group of girls were combing their hairs into braids with different little flowers! Along with yellow-ish suns that looked so beautiful if you ask me.

-I'll be right back!- I shouted, standing up and rushing to the girls.

I stopped and scratched my neck, slightly nervous and then talking finally.

-Hey, um... I saw how good you are all at making a braid and was wondering if you'd like to-

-Look at her hair, it's so pretty!- One of them said, taking a brush and beginning to do the hairstyle I was gonna ask... I guess they read my mind.

She started by brushing my hair, while two of them were collecting little flowers around and the last girl was helping the first one to start with the braid. The four of them had their hair combed into different styles.
