Hilda couldn't help but smile as she took another sniff of the flowers, Trevor got her. She could tell that they weren't store bought and that he picked them from the ground himself! This fact has caused Hilda to appreciate the gesture even more! No offense to store bought items, but Hilda being raised in the country just prefers getting things from nature yourself!

"So, what exactly happened between the two of you?" Hilda's mom asked.

"Mum, Trevor and I just got off to the wrong foot! He did something I found to be horrible, but he made up for it!" Hilda explained.

"That's right Ms..."

"Please just call me Johanna!" Johanna told Trevor.

"Sure," Trevor said nervously.

"Hey, Trevor where did you get these?" Hilda asked.

"From my mom's garden. She likes to grow her own flowers. She prefers growing them herself. Why? You don't like them?" Trevor responded.

"No, I like them! I was just curious!" Hilda nervously told Trevor.

Johanna gave her daughter a look before having a small grin on her face. Hilda gave her mother a questioning look, but she only recieved a bigger grin in response. Hilda made a mental note to ask her mother about that later. After a few minutes of walking they made it back to the parade to find it was about to start!

"Good we made it! Get ready kids for the show!" Johanna said in excitement.

"I can't wait to see what The Raven is going to do!" Hilda said in excitement.

Hilda didn't have to wait long as the Raven appeared to cheers from the crowd. The cheers got louder when the Raven grew in size and generated a field of electricity.

"Awesome! I didn't know he could do that!" Hilda mumbled in surprised.

"That could have come in handy against those cats!" Hilda heard Alfur mumbled.

Hilda decided not to ask and instead focused her attention on Trevor. He didn't seem surprised by what the Raven did, but he still had a look of awe on his face.

'I guessed he came when he was younger, but his friends got him to stop coming! It looks like he is enjoying the experience all over again!' Hilda though.

'Why did I let them convince me to stop coming here every year? This is just as awesome as I remember it! Well, I am going to stop listening to them from now on!' Trevor thought.

Hilda started looking at the flowers and could feel her face heat up a little. She had never received flowers from a boy before! Then again she had never really interacted with kids her own age much before today either. She decided that she was going to keep these for as long as she could!

'I don't quite understand what I am feeling right now! It's kind of like happiness, but it feels like something more. It's a bit more complicated then anything I have felt before. I''ll ponder this later!' Hilda thought.

"Wasn't it fun Kids?" Johanna asked.

"Yes!" Hilda and Trevor shouted at the same time.

The two kids shared a look, causing Hilda to blush a little and awkwardly look away. Johanna started smirking at the sight.

'Looks like Hilda has her first crush. I wonder if she even understands what she is feeling. Probably not! She has never really interacted with kids her age that much before. I should have done something to change that before! No, I shouldn't dwell on the past! Better late than never! I will do what I can to help her adapt as fast as possible!' Johanna thought hopefully.

"I should really get home! It was nice going to the parade with you two!" Trevor said with a smile.

"It was fun with you too Trevor!" Hilda responded nervously with a light blush.

"Before you go Trevor! I was wondering if you could help Hilda adjust to life here! We lived out in the country and Hilda hasn't spent much time with kids her own age," Johanna told Trevor.

"Sure, I would love to show her around!" Trevor responded with a smile before leaving.

Johanna looked at Hilda who was smiling while watching Trevor leave.

"Hilda, before we go home, is there anything you need?" Johanna asked her daughter.

"I was wondering if we could get a vase for these flowers," Hilda responded nervously.

"Of course! Your first gift from a crush!" Johanna said with a smile.

"Mum! It isn't like that!" Hilda said in annoyance.

"Sorry! Your face gave you away earlier," Johanna told Hilda.

Hilda only groaned in annoyance while following her mother to the store.

After putting the flowers in the vase and carefully placing it on her desk, Hilda started to get ready for bed. After putting her hair in a ponytail, she took one last sniff of the flowers before getting in bed.

"You really like those flowers? huh?" Alfur asked.

"Of course! They smell really nice," Hilda responded with a small grin.

"No, I think it has more to do with the boy who gave them to you," Alfur responded.

"Not you too! Look I don't like Trevor in that way! I just met the kid!" Hilda said in annoyance.

"Love works in mysterious ways Hilda! Especially, puppy love!" Alfur told Hilda.

"Whatever you say Alfur! I don't think you are one to know human love," Hilda retorted.

"Hilda, Love isn't different for different creatures. I mean it wasn't different for Jorgan!" Alfur countered.

"Ok. I concede your point, but I still don't like Trevor in that way!" Hilda responded.

"I see we aren't going to see eye to eye. Well, good night Hilda," Alfur said before entering the tent Hilda made.

"Good night Alfur!" Hilda said cheerfully.

Twig jumped onto the bed and started licking Hilda.

"Twig, I hope you don't think I like Trevor like Mum and Alfur!" Hilda told her deerfox.

Twig only licked Hilda's face and gave a cheerful bark in response.

"I will take that as you don't!" Hilda cheerfully said before relaxing in the covers.

After a few moments Hilda passed out and began to have dreams of her and Trevor going on adventures!

"Trevor, why is there a few flowers missing from my garden?" Trevor's mom asked her son sternly.

"Ok mom. To make a long story short. There was a new girl named Hilda and I screwed things up by throwing a rock at a bird. I took those flowers to apologize and now we have made up!" Trevor explained.

Trevor decided to just accept whatever punishment he gets, but to his surprised his mother started smiling.

"I am proud of you dear! I always thought those kids were a bad influence on you, but this new girl sounds like a better friend for you! I am happy to see you make things right," Trevor's mom said proudly.

"How long am I grounded?" Trevor asked.

"I will let it slip this once! Next time you might want to just go with chocolate," Trevor's mom responded.

"Right! I will!" Trevor said nervously.

After an hour Trevor got ready for bed.

'I can't wait for tomorrow! I will have fun with a true friend!' Trevor thought before passing out.

Since yesterday I had the urge to continue on to show what happens after Trevor decides to join Hilda and her mother for the parade. Hope you enjoyed. I have a few one shots planned. One where Trevor takes Hilda to a fair and introduce her to the wonder of cotton candy and other things. Hope you enjoyed this.
