Planting

One: Jasmine
Planting. It's not too much of a 'thing', is it. I mean, I know, Cosmo, likes plants and things, but I've never seen a random stray animal just planting. I, well, my name is Jasmine, and I love plants. Not really too hard to guess, my name does mean flower, but a lot of other people called Jasmine don't really have a desire to just walk outside and check on their plants. No wonder why every time I peer down the fence and see everybody's plants, they're just all... well, rotten. Like some phantom vomited on them. Well, yes, I am Jasmine, and I can tell you again because I love them so much, I love plants. I'm an artist. There are framed paintings of all my drawings plastered on the wall. Anyways, let's get on with the story.

I woke up, stretching my paws and shaking my amaranth fur. I was a lynx. I put on a dressing gown and slid on some black bunny slippers. I grinned. Comfy, I thought, laughing.

I padded downstairs, looking at the autumn leaves swept into piles, the old, rusty rake laid on the oak tree, as I liked to call 'Grandfather Oak'. I chuckled as I thought of that.

I opened the door, and sat on a creaky oak swing attached to Grandfather Oak, and sat on it, and hummed a cheery tune. This was part of a typical morning routine. Wake up, put on gown and slippers, go on the swing and sing, go to the market to buy food, cook brunch, draw for whole afternoon, have dinner at some fancy restaurant, check on plants, sleep... I jogged through the list and reached into my dressing gown pocket for some stray gems. I clutched the lot in my paw and went to the streets.

I opened the door to the small shop just lurking around the corner, and was greeted by the kind giraffe that always greeted me. "Hello," she said, smiling. I beamed back at her. "Hello, could I have some salad, sauce and noodles?" I asked politely. She nodded and gave me the paper bag filled with the things I wanted.

"15 gems please." she replied, holding out her spotted hoof. I nodded and put some of my gems in her hoof. She grinned. "Thank You for shopping at Healthmaa!" she called out to me as I walked out the door, hauling my items behind me. I nodded and trudged slowly back to my cottage, but, I saw the rare sight of Cosmo watering my plants! I was utterly confused. Cosmo looked at me and smiled. "Hey Jazzy." said Cosmo casually. I gasped. "H-How, do you know my n-name?" I stammered in shock. He flushed crimson. "U-Uh, y-you know, all alphas ought to know the name of all animals." he replied quickly, making me say no more about the topic. "Well, since you're here, why don't you have lunch with me?" I replied, smiling. He grinned. "Sure, I skip breakfast too. Also, the plants tell me they are very happy." he responded, pointing at them, and walking in. I paused to stare at the plants. Somehow, I could hear lots of tiny squeaky voices yelling at me. "Jasmine! THANK YOU!" "OMG IS IT REALLY HER?" they chorused. I covered my eyes. I had to be dreaming, right?
