Following Butterflies

Grand Opening

CLICK!

"Perfect! Absolutely marvelous! My dear child. You're perfect for my pictures." Autumn Williamson, in her prime. Taking pictures of her daughter smiling with such ferocity that one might consider she was stuck that way. 

"Stop Mor! You're making me embarrassed!" Nicole Williamson, her daughter so young and fresh. Dressed up all nice and charming. 

"You'll be hanging all over the shop. On every wall. A little celebrity!" She smiled holding the camera up once more catching the girl spinning in the grass. "The perfect little model."

Today was the big opening of The Print Shoppe. Or Family Photos. More known by this name later. 

"Welcome to Butterfly Photo Shoppe." Now this was it's name. Several years later and Nicole opened it back up. She still owned the building. After the Edge destroyed it it became her own property. As it was left to her in her mother's will. Of course she had to wait for so long and get the paper work to go through. But finally it was hers. 

It became a very popular place to stay and hang out and talk as well. Popular because of the young female's work and sociability. Called a naturally social butterfly. And so ironically that's what she became. Only second best to the Red Gala itself. A new hot spot of Lymn City.

"Hello young lady." An old man, and an old acquaintance walked into the door one day. 

"Uncle Tei?" There was a bit of shock in her face. She hadn't seen him since he'd visited that one night before her mother died. 

"In the flesh. And you my dear have grown wonderfully. I can't believe that you re-opened this place. It's lovely. Of course I would have visited sooner but my grandson was being quite difficult. He's went off and become a gaurdian. Which I have nothing against. You as well became one too correct?" 

"Yes I did Uncle Tei. It was a dream of my mother's to become one. But she never had time to really bring herself to do it." She smiled moving from behind a counter. "I continued on. I do what I can to help those in need. And your grandson. Yuuki correct. I'd nearly forgotten him. He didn't seem to really like me." 

The old man chuckled his wisdom about him completely. "He's a stubborn boy he is. But soon you will see. His distance is merely a cover. Little jumping spider." He seemed to laugh at the end, which Nicole merely shook her head at.

"Strange old man." She chuckled. " I'm closing up. Is there anything else you wanted. Surely I could walk you home." 

"No no. I simply wanted to see you little butterfly. And see how far you've come." He said before waving a farewell. "I noticed you still have a long way to go. Be very careful where you fly dear. Very careful."
