Ch.1 Breezey Tag

"Allie! Come and play Breezey Tag with us!" My friends called out to me as I lay against the sweet smelling Lonna Keezie Tree. With the fruits' purple cover and delicious scent, I was drawn toward it every wakening morning. But I figured I should get up and play to stretch out my little legs and plus, Breezey Tag was my best hand ( I'm the number one champ - ).

" Ok, since there is a new player aloft this game, I think we should refresh our memory and restart hers of the rules of this game," My best friend and tough challenger, CottonQuee called out, " Now, the rules are:

We each get one leaf, but if yours breaks through, you may quickly go get a new one

Don't use your wind powers too harshly for there are some little ones around

If you fall off your leaf, you lose

And last..have fun with it!"

Little Inky called out, "And don't be a baby if you lose!" He was always trying to be cute and tough, but neither of those qualities fit him. I noticed the new girl looked a little scared and confused. I guessed she just didn't want to make a fool of herself if she loses by falling off the fragile leaf. So, I decided to go on over and help her out.

" Hello, I'm Allie. What's your name?" She looked around fourteen years old as I'm sixteen, seventeen by tomorrow.

"I'm- I'm Keeko, " Her voice was low and frail, like she had been neglected and was afraid of the back of any innocent body's hand.

"Well, Keeko, I'm just going to give you some simple instructions of Breezy Tag. All you really have to do is stay upon the overgrown leaf, try to blow someone off of their leaf with your wind powers, and try to stay on yourself. Good luck."

I gave her a sad smile, but she smiled back and nodded her head. We walked along the damp dewed grass to the playing field. A brass fence was clothed with large golden leaves, sparkling in the mid-morn sun. They were a bit more sturdy looking than the old ones which would help Keeko out alot since she was so shaky that she couldn't even stand herself.

Everyone grabbed a leaf and waited for the voice of CottonQuee to sound off the start, " Ok, and...five...four...three...two...one! Good luck!" You could hear the rustle of leaves all around and soon the striking whip of fast wind. I was quickly assembled atop my leaf and soared around the opponents. With one soft blast of air, I had six out of eleven players down. Looking over to Keeko, I noticed she was a fierce competetor and plays almost as well as me! It was almost as if she was a great champ of Breezey Tag back at her hometown.

But I coaxed myself into pondering abou that later. Not long after, there was only three fairies left in the game: Myself, Keeko, and CottonQuee's brother, Donte'Quo. Keeko rushed over towards him and let out a blast of air, knocking Donte'Quo off his Golden Leaf.

It was me and Keeko now, as our leaves turned toward our flushed faces, a silent pause covered the field. Keeko lowered her head and put her hands in a ball form. She jumped up, cutting the air and flashed her hands eight feet from my chest. All of a sudden I found my body plunged in the dirt, stiff to move. I also noticed eyes widened and mouths spread across many fairy faces. Nobody could believe it: I had lost a simple game of Breezey Tag to a newbie!

'Had i lost my touch?' I began to think to myself, 'Who is she? How...wha-' CottonQee rushed over to help me up. Then came upon Keeko as she lowered to the fertile ground.

" Well," he began, " I believe we have a new champ! Give it up for Keeko UntaLoko!" Alot of people cheered, but many people were still petrified in shock. We all moved slowly back to the town. Numorous eyes glanced my way in awe, but I just ignored them as I was told when I was a child and brushed myself off following the crowd.

CottonQuee rushed up and walked along side of me. I really liked CottonQuee, he was my best friend since we were three, and now we're together until this day at the age of seventeen(well, I'm almost seventeen .). He always comforted me through dreary days and laughed at my jokes, cleared my cries through tearful moments, and now he's even helping me to glow once more by just walking with me to the village.

"So what happened back there? I mean, you haven't lost a game for 114 years, especially to someone literally new." He quietly spoke into my ear.

" I'm not sure, but let's just forget about it. Tomorrow's a brand new day."

" Tomorrow's a special day, it's your seventeenth birthday." We both threw warm smiles at each other and continued to walk through the tall grass.
