Thorn Island

*Yes, I know. Another rp by me. This one is about children who live in another world and never grow old. They have names of flowers, plants and vegetables.

Name: Acorn
Age: 17
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown

Usual rules. One especially: Don't leave anyone behind and wait for others to post*

Acorn woke up. It was a beautiful day in Sandstone village. He got up and dressed then went downstairs. Today was special. It was the Summer Festival and also young Griddle's birthday. He was going to be five.

Name: Ichigo (a type of strawberry)
Age: 17
Hair: Dark red
Eyes: Light pink

Ichigo sat in her garden and sighed. Another stupid festavil today. And some kid's birthday too.
She went out of her garden and looked around. Maybe she'd go bother Acorn ...
Soon enough she was outside of Acorns door and knocking loudly.
"Acorn! C'mon, Acorn! Come out and play for a while!"

Acorn smiled as Ichigo knocked loudly. He combed his hair and answered the door.
"Hey Ichigo!" greeted Acorn. "Want to come in first?"

Ichigo shuffled her feet uneasily. She didn't like going into other peoples houses.
"S - sure." she said, smiling a little weakly. She stepped into his house bu made sure she stood close to the door.
"So ... when does that festivel begin?"

Acorn smiled as she only stepped into the hallway. He closed the door.
"Well, the preparations start at two but the actual festival and birthday starts at seven," answered Acorn. "Why?"

Ichigo bit her lip. She wished the door was still open. She really hated being inside houses belonging to other people.
"Huh? Oh! Um, just so I know when to hide." She laughed.

Acorn laughed.
"You really don't like the Festivals, do you?" he asked.

"You betcha I don't!" Ichigo said.
"I dunno why, though. I just have some sorta phobia of them. Same as being in someone elses house."
She looked around and started shaking. She had to get out.

Acorn opened the door.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" he asked.

Ichigo litterally leapt out of the door. She fell to her knees, happy to be back outside.
"Yeah." She said. "Let's go for a walk." She was feeling a little embarrassed. She had made quite a fool of herself.

Acorn smiled and followed Ichigo. He closed the door and surveyed the village. Some of the villagers were already up, going about their daily business.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked her.

Ichigo looked around. If the people saw them, they'd probably be dragged along to help out.
"Hm, hows about the forest? I like it there. No houses or festivels. Just cute little animals!" She stood up and brushed the dust off her skirt. It was quite short, maybe a little too short for walking through a forest. "Acorn, should I run home and change?"

Acorn looked to Ichigo.
"Up to you," he said. "I'll be at the forest entrance ok? That's if you are going to change."

**OK, in my profile I made a mistake. The hair is pink, not red. See avatar**

Ichigo sighed.
"Actually, I'll just keep what I've got on." she said. "I don't want to pass everyone." She started walking. "C'mon! I found this really nice place in the forest! It's a huge lake and it's really pretty!"

Acorn followed Ichigo. He wondered where she was on about. He had been to every part of the forest or so he thought.

Ichigo was so happy! She could finally share her secret place with someone!
As she walked, her step picked up a little skip.
Soon enough she stood outside of the forest.
"Come on, Acorn! You'll love the lake! There's really pretty fish!" She was getting a little too excited, so she leaned against a tree to calm down.
"But there really isn't anything I can think of that is more beautiful." She sighed.

Acorn smiled and laughed. He jogged to where she was.
"Alright then. Show me where this lake is," he said.

Ichigo stood up straight.
"Ok! Keep up!" She turned and ran through the forest. After what seemed like ages, she stopped and turned to see if Acorn had kept up after all. She was standing below a large tree.

*We need more people to join otherwise we might end up double roleplaying.*

Acorn had kept up with Ichigo alright. She had stopped below a tree and came to stand beside her. He gasped. It was really beautiful.
"How did you find it?" Acorn asked. "I've looked everywhere."

**Yeah ... um, what's double roleplaying? **

Ichigo didn't answer his question.
"We have to climb!" She said. "Up the tree, jump onto the rock, go through the tunnel, slide down the hill and there's the lake!" she said it all in a sing-song voice.
She started to climb. "And don't look up my skirt!" She said.

*It's where you play two charries*

Acorn poked his tongue and started to climb after Ichigo.
"We'll have to change when we get back though," he said.

**Oh, right. kk then.**

Ichigo reached a high branch and started walking along it.
"Why do I have to? It's not like I'm doing anything special. When the festival starts, I'll probably come back here anyway."
She made an amazing leap onto a huge rock.

Acorn made a disapproving noise and followed suit.
"O please come, Ichigo," he said. "I'll be all on my own otherwise."

Ichigo knelt down next to a rather large hole in the rockface.
"No. I hate festivals." She said. "Besides, you can hang out with that little kid. What's his name? The one who's havin' his birthday today."
She started crawling into the tunnel.

"Griddle," Acorn answered. "And no thanks! I'd rather hang out with some people my age." He then crawled in after Ichigo.
