She walked around her small but homely apartment, a small watering can in hand, watering the different variety's of plants that were growing in colorful flower pots.

Being satisfied that she had done them all she made her way to the bathroom to freshen-up and change out of her pink pajamas, climbing into the shower she let the worm water glide over her body and let her mind wonder to todays trip as butterfly's fluttered in her belly.

She had been looking forward to this vacation for a few months now. With her best friend Alya and her boyfriend Nino they had saved up and booked all the tickets in advance for them to travel from there home city of Paris to a small isolated chalet near the Alpes that they could rent.

Her suitcase was packed with all her essentials waiting by her front door, she had placed her purse on it containing her phone, charger, identity card and the cash she had saved up for food and souvenirs.

After she climbed out of the shower, dried her hair and took her summer dress off the back of the bathroom door and shimmied into it, she looked at the pink watch that she clipped around her wrist, and at seeing the time she quickly brushed her hair before leaving the bathroom to give one last quick look around her apartment. Being curtain that she had everything she grabbed her coat off the hook and draped it over her arm, pulling the strap of her purse over her shoulder, collecting the extra bag of food, before opening her front door and pulling her suitcase behind her.

Locking her door she headed towards the bright red lift and pressed on the button. As she waited she couldn't help tapping her foot in nervous excitement. It had been so long since she had been on holiday, her parents having a bakery in the large capital of france rarely had any time off, and they never went very far.

And these would be her first with out her parents. It had been a tough choice to choose there location but when they fell on a brochure it had showed a beautiful wooden chalet in the midst of trees and mountains, with its own lake. It looked like its own paradise, enticing them to choose it.

The ding of the elevator brought her out of her thoughts. Quickly shuffling into the lift nodding her head in greeting to the short elder man sharing the cramped space.

When she reached the ground floor, she parted ways with the old fellow, with a sweet "have a good day" she then rushed to the buildings excite and looked around the busy street for her friends car.

Barely a minute latter there was a small orange 2cv honking as it came in her direction. She grinned and waved franticly at them, as she noticed Alya doing the same. With work and chores they hadn't seen each other in over a month and she was so pleased they would be spending three long weeks together.

When the car stoped in the space not far from her. Alya climbed out and hugged her in a vice grip before kissing each cheek in greeting. When she let go she was bouncing on her toes in excitement "i can not wait girl" she exclaimed with glee. Nino approached chuckling at his girlfriends antics. They kissed each others cheeks before he took hold of her suitcase and loaded it in the car.

She clambered into the back seats, making herself confortable, Alya clicked her passenger seat back in place and before they knew it they where on the road and heading along the country lane all the way to the chalet, taking pictures of the views through the trip, singing to songs on the radio and exchanging all there plans for there long overdue holiday.

Stoping the car half way there to strech there legs and eat a picnic, each of them had thought to bring something to share, Nino brought drinks, Alya brought sandwiches, where as she brought a big bag of pastries from her parents bakery when she had seen them the evening before, sharing a meal and making the most of being with her family.

They set off once again and by late afternoon they had arrived in front of the chalet. It was up a small country lane, tree branches spread over the road joining the other trees to intwine in the middle creating a long arch all the way to the chalet. It was like something strait out of a fairytale, the sun low in the early

summer sky, peaking above the riche velvet ferns that surrounded them, the sun rays hitting the chalet just right as through it twinkled with magic. The lake in front reflecting the beauty of the moment like a perfect mirror.

She couldnt help but be in awe of it all. She was born and raised in the biggest city in france, she was used to skyscrapers and tarmac, noisy cars and crowds of people, in a city that never slept, and suddenly she was here were the soft breeze made the branches sway and rustle, the sweet songs of the birds echoed around them. There was no other word but magic to describe this place.

The two girls shot into the house to take a look around. Leaving Nino to sigh and collecte there luggage.

They gasped in awe at the lovely decor, nearly everything made of fine wood, beautifully detailed designs were carved in to the wooden furniture, she could not wait to get her sketch book out draw. After doing a quick sweep of the lower level they then headed up the stairs to choose there rooms. Again every thing was well chosen, it all went together in harmony.

After collecting there things and putting them away in the wardrobe and draws, they prepared some food and sat out on the patio, after all was finished and fatigue started to seep in, Alya and Nino called it a night. Wishing her a good night and not to sleep to late they left her. She got up made herself some hot coco and picked up a blanket, she returned to her previous spot on the swing patio chair she looked up and was mesmerized by the ful darkness of the night sky and the thousands of shining stars scattered across the sky, such a thing was impossible to see in Paris, with the pollution, couds and lights blocking the view.

She started feeling drowsy as her eyes tried to close on there own. Pulling her self awake and deciding to go up to bed, her riche blue bell eyes looked up one last time to the sky, and at that moment she saw in the far distance a shooting star shine she closed her eyes and made a wish.
