Kendra and Meadow are together for a fantasy story.

Rules:
1. No fighting.
2. No taking over the story.  Work it out with your partner so you can both do the story equally.
3. Keep the story PG.
4. GloWorm says to always keep to your genre, but I disagree: if you really want to, change genres.
Thank you very much! :)

OK, here goes nothing... 

Saffron shoved a spade into the moist red earth of hergarden. Pushing the handle down, a weed came free of the soil and Saffron shookthe loose dirt from it. She plucked stones out of the ground and tossed theminto a red weed bucket. The sun beat down on her neck and she could almost feel herself being burnt. Saffron took 7 seeds out of the seed bag and dropped theminto each into their own earthy bed. Quickly she covered the seed up with the red dirt and sprinkled water on them. Standing up, she surveyed her work. Yes,it had taken her all day and yes, she was as red as a tomato and yes, she was covered head to toe in red dust and dirt, but her garden was finished.  Her garden looked like a patch of dirt with a tangle of wire sticking up on one side. Saffron smiled to herself, nobody whowalked pass would think that in a couple months there would be peas climbing up those wires, or that there would be tomatoes, or strawberries or parsley inthat red patch of earth.

Hmmmmm, for some reason some of the spaces were taken out. It wasn't like that when I wrote it...

Good!! :D :)

"Saffron, are you done with your garden?"

"Yes mom.' answered Saffron.

"You look filthy, go take a bath, I have the tub filled up with hot water." said her mom. "Go on."

"OK, I'm going." Walking upstairs Saffron went into the bathroom and shut the door.  I'm going to plant potato's tomarrow.  I have to clear the hill first, though.

When Saffron woke up the next day, she was burning and sore.  I should have put on sun screan.  i don't have to now; I'm already sun berned.  Her gardening clothes on, Saffron walked out the door and into the garden.  She picked the potato basket up.  All of them are cut in half.  Picking up her shovel, she plunged the shovel into the soft ground, pulling Yellow doc and the accasional primrose. Finally, it's cleared. she thought.  An hour, not bad.  Now time for potato planting.  Digging a little hole about three inches dep she put the potato in, cut side face up.  Covering that potato up she went to dig the next hole about a foot away.  And she kept on going like that, until she was finished.

Looking up at the pale blue spring sky she saw a magpie flyacross the sun and towards the town below her. Sighing, Saffron stood up and shook the dirt off herself. Leaving her potato patch and gardening tools behindshe wandered down the hill into a wildflower meadow. As soon as she stepped into the meadow she was not longer Saffron the gardener with her tomato nose.She was Saffron the Butterfly whisperer. Racing though the field millions of blue, orange, white and multicolour butterflies swarmed into the sky. Callingout she cried “Oh wise and gentle butterflies, I beg of you to teach your youngto STAY OUT OF MY GARDEN!”  Laughing to herself she twirled around and fell onto her back. Her giggles became whispers lost on the air. She watched as the cotton candy clouds float by. Getting backup Saffron wandered to the edge of the woods where the warm air became cool andfull of shadows. The dark conifers blocked out the sun. Saffron walked into theforest and along and familiar path. Until she came into a mossy meadow where a huge maple tree spiralled up to where the only visible sky was. Saffron wandered over to the tree and sat down on one of its roots, resting her back against the trunk.

Staring up at the sky, happy that it was such a beautiful day.  In the shade of the tree she thought about her life, her dreams.  She sat there for an hour before she got up.  Walking back home, she noticed a stream that wasn't there when she was walking to the tree.  Maybe I went the wrong way.  She turned around, but that lead her deep into the woods.  So she went toward the stream, but it wasn't there any more.  She walked back home, wondering about the stream.  Maybe I'll go back after lunch and see.

After lunch, she went walking through the meadow towards the old maple tree.  The stream was there, it was in her way.  She lept across it and almost fell into the water.  Walking to the tree, she sat down on that very same knotted root and thought, thought about the world.  All of this seamed to clear her mind, making it easier to think and feel.  It was lmost like magic.  After sitting there for a while, she got up, and was about to leap across it, but it wasn't there. She went back to think, sitting by the tree.  thinking about magic, thinking that the stream might be magic.  It was there, then it wasn't.  WHen she got up, the stream was there.

Maybe she can find a piece of paper with a poem in it by the stream.  Maybe it can turn out to be a magical chant and she'll have save the whole town with it or something like that.

I ended it the the middle of a scene. I find that some round robins tend to be 'blocky' because each person writes a scene instead of part of a entire story. Hmmmm, dose that make any sense???? {$lang_emotions_tongue-out}

It makes perfect sense.  I sometimes tend to think I confuse people, too.  Continue the story.  If the reason you aren't continuing it is because you're really bizy, I UNDERSTAND so much.

It's fine, like I said. I've waited months for something.  Like my mom calling someone that lives 11 houses away.

 Is this all right? I'll leave it to you for her to find the paper...

 

Saffron blinked, she knew that this couldn’t make sense. Yet somehow it did. Here was the proof, a bubbling stream rushing past her feet. She knelt down to look closer. It was unlike any brooks, creeks, or streams she had seen before. The water was clear and frothy with bubbles from it rushing over rocks. And the rocks underneath the water were smooth. Like they had been there for hundreds of years, they were all multicolour. Not bright colors like you seen in the crystal shop in town, stone yet colored. Some were speckled black and white, others were a sandy beige. Saffron plunged a hand into the cool clear water and pulled out one of the stones. She almost expected it just to be an illusion, but her hand held a stone, and her arm up to her elbow was dripping wet with the stream’s water. The stone in her hand was pearl white, and perfectly round and smooth. She put the stone back in the stream, and got up. She looked downstream. It must go somewhere, she thought, it couldn’t go into town without anyone noticing it. So she began walking beside the stream, the water rushing away beside her.
