Tale 1
WELCOME TO CRESCENT FOREST!
'This story is set in Crescent Forest…
…the home of many woodland creatures.'
"Cloover!" A motherly voice called upstairs to her sleeping kin.
'Shnore'
"Clover! Wake up!" The voice called to the bunny named Clover. "It's a school day!" With this final statement Clover began to stir twitching a bit as her eyes slowly opened. She sat up in her bed made of dried grass. "School…?"
"WAGH! OH NO! OH NO!" Clover yelled out she stormed down her steps realizing it was almost time for school. "If I'm late for school AGAIN…Prof. Hoot will peck me!" Clover stormed past her parents and slammed the door behind her. "See ya!" Clover scampered across here yard and into Crescent Forest. Not to long after, a flying squirrel flew overhead which she recognized. "Good morning , Hickory!" Clover yelled to her friend as she kept on running.
Numerous animals bid hello to Clover as she continued to run late for class. 'Morning, Clover.' 'Hurry up, Clover.' 'Running late again, Clover?' 'Hi, Clover.'
"Hullo, Clover!" Clover automatically recognized the slurred words as none other then… "Kale! Shallot and Blackberry too!" Clover said angry at Kale for hitching a ride. "No fair!" "See you at school!"
…
"Phew! Made it!" Clover hopped into the thicket in which her classroom was enclosed. There, everyone [but her] was sitting waiting for class to start. Clover took a quick scan of the area. "Yay! I even beat Prof. Hoot!" At the moment of this statement a rapid succession of utterly painful pecks were delivered to her dome. "Yow!" She screeched out in pain as the grueling punishment, which seemed to go on for hours was quickly over. "I got here LONG BEFORE you, hoot!" Prof. Hoot, their teacher said as he flew over to his tree stump at the front of the class. Clover slumped to her seat.
'The young animals of Crescent Forest…
…go to school to learn about their home and nature from their home and nature from the grown up animals.'
"Good morning… …everyone, hoot." Prof. Hoot said calmly. "We have a new student today, hoot!" The class went into an immediate uproar." "Go on…introduce yourself" Prof. Hoot said beckoning the new student to the front of the class and out from behind him. "I wonder what this new student is like!" Clover said with great enthusiasm. "What do you think, Mallow?" Mallow simply looked at her. "O..oh. I don't know…"
"Hello, to all It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Sebastian, a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The new bunny, Sebastian had a set of golden fur with floppy ears. He also had a strange cleft of fur which jutted from his head, but that only added to his appeal. All the females in the class aside from Clover and Mallow, went into a crazy fan girl scream frenzy and started to rush Sebastian.
"Wow, he just got here and he's already super popular, huh, Mallow?" Clover said with a huge smile on her face. Even she thought the new student was very cute. Mallow, a pink bunny with floppy ears, eyed Sebastian with suspicion. "Huh…what's the matter Mallow? You're staring…" Clover looked from Mallow then to Sebastian, then back again. "Oh, It's nothing! I just thought I'd seen that bunny somewhere before. Weird, huh?" "Hoot, choose a place to sit, Sebastian." Prof. Hoot waved a wing over the classroom. Sebastian's eyes scanned the area and landed on Mallow and Clover. "Well here's you chance to find out because it looks like he's going to sit over here." Clover pointed out. Just as she did, Sebastian took a seat right next to Mallow. "Gahh!" Mallow yelled out as she scooted uncomfortably close to Clover. "Something the matter Mallow, hoot?" Prof. Hoot asked the rest of the class also staring at her. Mallow looked around. "Ah, no. Everything's fine, sir."
"Hey, Mallow. Was everything okay, today? You were starring at Sebastian all day." Clover asked Prof. Hoot finally dismissed everybody. "Yeah, I just…" Mallow trailed off as she spotted Sebastian. A shiver ran down her spin and she bolted behind a tree just as he walked her way. "Sebastian!" Clover shouted out his name excitedly. "Welcome to Crescent Forest! Eh…Mallow? Where'd ya go?" Sebastian petted Clover on the head and she turned to face him, a large blush covering her face.
"Thank you clover. I appreciate the warm welcome" He said, his voice smooth and more adult like then most of the other male kid bunnies. "N-no. The pleasures all…mine." With that Sebastian walked home. Mallow appeared back at Clover's side and the two stayed silent and blushing, watching as the unexpected gentleman heartthrob walked away. "Mallow…" Clover said. "Yeah." Mallow simply answered." "…I can see why you were blushing so much…"
