20 Tour (1/2)
An enthusiastic Laurel pulled the hand of Elanor right towards a pale Mellisa. ”This girl,” Mellisa groaned, ”Young lady! Have you already forgotten last time you ran off.”
Laurel wilted as she saw her angry mom. ”But mom,” she whined, ”I made a new friend! She's super An enthusiastic Laurel pulled the hand of Elanor right towards a pale Mellisa. ”This girl,” Mellisa groaned, ”Young lady! Have you already forgotten last time you ran off.”
Laurel wilted as she saw her angry mom. ”But mom,” she whined, ”I made a new friend! She's super fast and has pretty clothes.” She waved her hand as if presenting how great her find was.
Elanor smiled at the protective mom. ”I didn't mean any offense. I don't mean any harm.”
Mellisa gave a half smile not wanting to offend, ”It's not you. It's just that this girl doesn't seem to learn.” She sighed.
Seeing the women talking peacefully the others in the village came over. Gregory stepped out with a big smile. ”Good day miss, we're happy to be graced by someone of your status.” He bowed deeply. ”May I inquire as to your purpose for traveling to this place in the middle of nowhere?” He asked nervously without coming out of his bow.
”I won't hold anything back. I came here to attempt to retrieve the treasure from the hill.” The fairy looked towards the hill. Some of the villagers gasped with worries in their eyes. ”NO! You said you weren't bad, you lied.” Laurel screamed.
Mellisa covered her daughter's mouth. Her face grim. How did she raise such a willful daughter she lamented. ”Please, she's just a child and doesn't know the ways of the world.”
Elanor heart sunk. Sighing she shook her head, ”It's unfortunate. I don't feel very confident.” She held out her hand to the little girl a bright smile on her face. ”Since you're so against it I'll forget the treasure, okay?” Laurel's eyes were full of conflict. Elanor laughed ”It really is just a small game. Like you said if I was bad your guardian spirit wouldn't just let me go right?”
Laurel nodded as if she finally realized the truth. And grabbed hold of Elanor's hand. ”Come on let me show you the gardens. The vegetables grow so big!” The girl ecstatically moved on to the next interesting thing.
Gregory went to stop the energetic girl patting her head he said, ”Now girl your friend has traveled a long way. I'm sure she doesn't want to be dragged all over creation.” However, Elanor shook her head with a laugh that shook the hearts of men and women alike. ”No, It's fine! If I can spend time with such a cutey I wouldn't mind traveling anywhere.”
”If you say so. Still, I feel bad that we have so little to offer you. At least let us set up a banquet for you! We don't have much here but as Laurel said we have some of the best vegetables you will ever eat.” He gloated while messing Laurel's hair.
Puffing her cheeks the girl glared at the shaggy old man. ”Stop it! You're ruining my hair.” Yanking once again on Eleanor's hand. ”Let's go before we catch the old!” Everyone begins to laugh at the antics of the girl causing her to fume any more. Elanor nodded to Gregory and Mellisa ”I don't want to cause trouble for you. Yet if your willing to host me it would be rude for me not to attend.” She waved at the crowd as she allowed the girl to drag her off.
After a short walk, Laurel and Elanor reach a garden. ”Look! isn't it amazing?” Laurel says proudly pointing to the plants. ”I help water them.” The vegetables were twice their normal size. ”That's great, I've never seen normal vegetables grow so big. Did you guys find some special strain of vegetables?” Elanor asked as she squats down near a large squash.
Laurel shook her head fiercely causing her hair to fly all over. ”No, it's like magic everything grows so fast and big.” She then flung her arms up while jumping showing how large everything grows.
