So, here's a beginning for the other drabble series… because if I don't get distracted, I might fall asleep in biology. 8 is too early in the morning to be expected to participate without coffee… which I have cut out of my diet.

Anyway, this is gonna be based off flowers and their meanings, even if the flower is never directly mentioned in the drabble. Because meanings. I didn't spend an hour before biology (just so y'all know, that means I was doing this at 7AM looking these up, so…) not to use them for something. Also, it's fun, so why not?

I will be putting the flower and the meanings (according to theflowerexpert website) after the drabble has ended, so while I own nothing, I hope you enjoy!


Bird of Paradise

~Although frightening, there was a joy that came with waiting, a wonderful anticipation of magnificent things to come.~

"Ren, what do you think Beacon's like?" Nora kicked her legs cheerfully, stretching her arms over her head.

The boy turned a page in his book calmly, less willing to move needlessly on the plane. "It's a school. It can't be that different."

"But it'll be bigger! Much bigger! With lots more people!" Nora looked around excitedly, taking in the people standing by windows easily… and those who looked ready to throw up. "Plus, we'll have teams, right? So we'll have new people to deal with and know! Do you think we'll find cool people? I wanna find someone who…"

"Nora."

"Yes Ren?"

"We'll be at Beacon in an hour."

"Aaaaaaaand?"

"You'll be able to see what it's like."

"But I'm so excited right now!" Nora tossed her hands joyfully in the air, grinning widely. "Ren, aren't you excited? It's going to be awesome!"

Ren tuned out the rest of Nora's babbling, turning another page in his book. He was looking forward to learning more, becoming a stronger Hunter… and he knew that regardless of team placements, he'd be spending these few years with Nora anyway. And even if he didn't look forward to that -which he actually did; he enjoyed his time with Nora- it meant that nothing that happened in these coming years would be boring!

Birds of Paradise: Represents joyfulness, magnificence, exciting and wonderful anticipation


And there we go guys! Just a small little thing to start… and I resisted the temptation to start with roses. Because there will likely be a few rose chapters… I mean, each color has a different meaning, and then the amount and the variety of rose… I promise, I won't overload you with roses. Feel free to send in a flower request (with the meaning please, or I'll have to hunt it down and pick a random meaning from the site) and leave a review to let me know what you think! Thanks so much for reading guys, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
