Chapter 2: A New Name
Flaress lead me to a shady tree where she plucked some berries. She yanked a giant leaf off the tree and placed the berried on it. "Eat up, this is what we will be eating for the next few days."
"Thanks," I say, suddenly blushing again. Why am I blushing? I ask myself.
I taste some of the blue berries, "Mmm, yum." I say, even though I thought they were sour.
"They're oran berries," said Flaress, as she started plucking some more. "Oh, and your name can't be 'Dirtrag' right?"
"I don't know my real name..." I say. Then suddenly, words I really didn't want to say popped out of my mouth, "You have a beautiful name!"
"Thank you," she replies. I see her blush. What does blushing represent?
I ate the last berry and licked my lips, "Thanks for the berries Flaress!" I exclaim.
"Your welcome," says Flaress, finishing her berries at the same time, "Now, to find you a name."
"Umm... okay," I reply.
"You seem shiny. Maybe you could be called...Glimmer!" She thought for a moment and then started talking again, "Nah, that sounds like a nam that you'd give to a female Phuma. You think of one, after all, it is your name."
"Umm... let's see. Shine?" I suggest.
"How about Shiny?" she says.
"Golden?" I say.
"Shimmer."
"Silver."
"Glisten."
We kept on suggesting names for me all throughout the morning. Until we came to a conclusion. "Flaira!" we exclaim simultaneously.
"Okay, from now on, you will be called: Flaira!"
We both smile.
Hope you enjoyed that! The next chapter is not far away!
