Day One: Making Decorations
It was a windy Autumn morning as the people of Dustville walked through the streets getting ready for the upcoming Holiday. Children would either walk wit they're parents or played in the open lots, school was out for Thanksgiving, and they had plenty of time for fun. At a small crafts store, that sold cloth, paper, paint and other items, a mother and her two daughters walked out with a few bags of crafts for making decorations, "Good morning Mrs. Evergreen," Oncie said walking up to the girls with a big smile, "Oncie!" Desi squealed happy and hugged the boy tight. "Hi Desi," he greeted hugging her back with a small chuckle, she always seemed to be happy to see him.
"Oh Oncie look," the little girl showed him the bag of decoration supplies and smiled happily. "Wanna come and make decorations with us?" She asked happily, she was so cute sometimes. "Sure, just let me get Brett and Chet, and I'll meet you guys at your house." and on that cheery note they parted ways for a short time.
And as promised met up at the Evergreen house, the twins hugged Rosa happily and she hugged them back, she was always nice to them. Mrs. Evergreen set out the supplies, and the children got to work, Desi pulled out a pretty blue and green feather and placed it in the band of Oncie's fedora, which was a little to big for him. Onceler took off his hat and looked at the feather, the boy gave the little girl a warm smile and put his hat back on. Desi and Oncie had grown a lot closer over the past few weeks, Dustville was a small town, so a lot of grades were put in the same class room if there wasn't enough room, he helped he with her homework, and she gave him someone to go to when he was sad. Her tiny hand would wipe away his tears, and she'd hold him tight when he needed a hug.
Te boy leaned over and kissed her forehead making her squeal with joy as her cheeks were colored wit a rosy blush, Onceler was always kissing her head, and she was so cute when she squealed, he doubted she even know why she was getting kisses. The child, her cheeks still rosy and pink, continued making her decoration, she was making a little turkey with some shiny feathers her mother had bought.
Rosa had her hands full trying to keep the twins from gluing feathers to each other, or at least keep them from hitting each other when they had a disagreement. The girl was always looking after them when they were over or when they hung out. The twins always played rough with one another, and Oncie wasn't the best at getting them to settle down, Rosa defiantly was though. They listened to her and did as told, but she was never mean about it, and thats why they listened so well.
Once the decorations were finished, the children looked them over, Desi made a turkey with all the colors of the rainbow, Rosa used purple and blue feathers, The twins used red, and Oncie used blue and gray. Each one reflected on they're personalities, Desi was a creative and colorful girl, the twins often shared a thought or two, Rosa was a tough yet sweet girl, and Oncie was a quiet and shy boy.
Before the boys left to go home, Desi traded her turkey for Once-ler's, she said it was because it was pretty, but he had a hard time believing that. Even so, he walked home happily holding onto the pretty decoration he was given.
Mama made dinner that night, and even though he ended up burning the ham a bit, the boys didn't complain, it was still good, though Oncie was worried why she was being nice all of a sudden, but didn't bother to ask. He cleaned up the dishes, the twins washed the table, and everyone went to bed, today had been good, and they all slept happily.
