Thorn Island

Parsley smiled slightly at her mischievousness.
"So...whats our itinerary." She asked. At the others blank faces, she sighed, "Our destination?"

"evrywere and anywere" cheza sighd haply still jumping arond. She loved the feeling of being ouside and goin on an advetuer

"Okaaaay..." Parsley said. Her life, a mystery to the others, had been full of order and punishment for not following it.

"Um....Cheza, you need to calm down!" he said, smiling.

Ichigo stood up. She had been sitting next to the lake for a while, running her fingers through the water and talking softly.
But now she looked concerned.
"People are looking for us." She said. "The adults are worried because we disappeared. They think we're casuing trouble or something. I think they're int he forest and there's a chance we left foot prints."

"cant too much suger" she smild humingto herself. she look to parsly and soften "you okay?"

"Yeah, I had a bad past is all. I can't get used to the fact that you guys are free." Parsley murmured, touching her hair.

"wel we ment to be at the festival but oh well" she gave parsly her hand. "come on"

There was a soft tinkle of bells and Ichigo's eyes lit up.
"The lake says we can walk accross her!" She said. "She'll let us just run accross. C'mon!"
She stepped onto the water and stood easily on it as if it were land. She started making her way over the lake to the forest on the other side.

"redy?" she ask parsly befor walking over.

Acorn was hesitant about it but only for a minute. He then crossed the lake and followed Ichigo.

*Let's wait for the others*

"Walk on it?" Parsley asked. She put a foot onto the glassy surface. It was solid, but rippled under her touch.

cheza tok a breth and ran strait acroos harld stopng unti she rech the grass oposite. "Wow" she thoght in amament.

Parsley pulled her foot away, and took off her shoes, revealing her feet. She stepped onto the cool water, knowing that something would happen. She hadn't been thrown out of her last village for nothing.
And it did.
When she was about halfway across, the winds began to fight. The bad North Wind, Senais, howled in her ears, his voice loud and echoing. The good Southern Wind, Callusa, bellowed back at him, telling him that he always lied, noone could trust him. Parsley was about to go into the foetal position, when another voice came through the wind. It was Paprika, her spicy friend, gone so long ago
"You can do it Parsley, don't give up!" She called, before fading again into the wind. Parsley stood up, and sprinted as fast as she could, across the lake.

Acorn smiled at them.
"Come on, we'd best go before the others find out," he said. "Lake, can you make yourself hard to cross for when the other come?"

"Wasnt that hrd was it" cheza chukled land look to acorn. "come on! "

Acorn smiled and ran beside Cheza.

Cheza plated anoher kiss on acorns cheek, she new he woldnt get ofended. Cheza was just happy.

Parsley watched them together, running. They looked so happy together. She hoped that she could find someone like Acorn someday.

Acorn smiled and kissed her back. He then took her hand and ran faster.

Kasha puled back " wat for the ohers"

*g2g*

Acorn nodded. He knew he should.

Parsley smiled at Ichigo.
"Come on. Looks like the lovers have calmed down a bit!" She grinned, sprinting ahead.

"oh sut it" cheza said jokly but it was true she love acorn.

Acorn smiled.
"So where are we going again?" he asked. "Hang on, where's Ichigo?"
