XD I feel like a third grader asked homework =P I hope it's gonna help for the story ^^

was just reminiscing about old summers, heh. alrighty, since i missed the last round, i really have to step it up!

As A child I always loved camping and picking flowers, I remember very clearly how me and my grandpa picked snap dragons and played with them and ate the honeysuckle flowers. Often times I'd go alone to pick flowers, other times my Grandfather sent my cousins to watch me so I wouldn't get lost. My Grandmother always wove beautiful crowns out of the flowers I brought back and called them Fairy Crowns, curious, I once asked why she called them that.

"My wonderful grandchild, as you well know from stories, fairys are wood folk and live in flowers and acorns. These flowers are a gift to you from fairys because they believe only those with great kindness can take their flowers..." My Grandmother smiled, often in a way I knew she was telling the truth. "And fairys only give such pretty flowers to those who should one day become their Queen and Caretaker, for fairys are just like children that never grow up."

I laughed and felt as if I was the most special girl in the world, because fairys were always so kind to me it seemed as Grandma had said, and I always felt as if I knew my ways in the forest because I never became lost. Of course, now that I'm older I know there's no such thing as fairys...But my love of flowers never died, and I do miss the forest and my Grandma very much.

Perhaps one day I'll go back to visit the fairys in the forest and make Fairy Crowns for my little sister and tell her about wonderful childish fairys who'd protect her in the woods. Just as my Grandma had.
