— Aurora was out of the house the second the clock hit five-forty, whistling a sweet goodbye to her parents as she grabbed her bike from the garage.

The pretty girl doesn't use her bike often, only to fill in for her dad's deliveries does she use it. She has the three jars of honey in the front basket, the packaging strictly perfect since she tried her best on this certain order.

She even took the extra step and tied a cute honey-bee ribbon around the three jars, a sweet thank you note tucked between the thin fabric and glass.

If anyone asks, every order comes like this. Not just his.

Aurora continues to hum a hippy tune as she sighs in relief when the last turn comes up, knowing soon she'll be able to take a break and cool down. Her legs are embarrassingly worn out from the pedaling and she hopes Harry will lend her a water from inside if she asks.

When the angel turns the corner she immediately yelps, her bike heading straight towards a girl who's watching the news in a shop window.

The girl looks over to her right when she hears the scream and immediately jumps aside, her back pressed firmly against the glass window as Aurora's bike suddenly halts. "I'm so sorry about that!"

"Oh no it's okay." The random girl breathes out, pushing herself off the glass window and fixing her cardigan, "probably happens all the time around here, huh?"

"Are you not from here?" Aurora questions and the girl shakes her head no, "I live like an hour or two away. I'm just visiting." That's when Aurora notices the thin map in her hand, the poor thing upside down and covered in writings. "Do you need help going anywhere?" She questions and the girl glances down to her hand where the map was, looking back up to Aurora with a nod. "Yeah I'm sorta lost if you can't tell."

"Where do you need help going?"

"This flower shop. I swear it was around here last time I visited."

Oh no.

"Hey.." Aurora pauses with a nod, waiting for a name.

"Bambi."

"Like the Disney movie?" She nods, "that's so cute."

"Thank you." Bambi smiles before Aurora frowns, "I think you're talking about Mr. and Mrs. Addington's shop."

"That's the one!" Bambi smiles, snapping her fingers.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but they just closed down this past week. I was close with the owners."

"Aw really?"

"Yeah. But I can tell you the way to another store?" Aurora offers and Bambi nods her head, listening closely as she tells her the directions. "At that stop sign up there- yeah that one. Take a left and just a few shops down should be a store called 'Delicate'. They have beautiful flowers!"

"Oh wow, thank you so much.." She hesitates and Aurora chuckles, "Aurora."

"Aurora? Is someone else's parents a Disney geek?"
