I'm going away for a few days, so I wanted to get this post up! Hope you enjoy…I know it's kinda short, but…
Chapter Three: A whole Chapter dedicated to the Harvest Sprites
Jenna walked to the Harvest sprites' hut, determined to make friends with them at any cost. She just hoped that they didn't serve decaffeinated tea like the rest of the town did.
She opened the door slightly, which to her surprise, creaked. Maybe if she got it oiled, the harvest sprites would be her friends? Jenna closed the door and ran back to the general store and bought some oil. Then she made her way back to the hut and opened the door slowly.
The harvest sprites were sitting at the table with a large tea kettle that was bigger than two of those sprites put together placed in the center of the table. Every one of them had a tea cup near them.
"Hello…" said Jenna quietly, trying to get their attention. "I'm Jenna…"
"Hi! I'm Chef!" said the red one.
"I'm Hoggy!" said the yellow one.
The orange one yawned. "I'm Nappy."
"I'm Aqua!" stated the light blue one.
"I'm Staid," said the dark blue one.
"I'm Bold!" said the purple one.
"And I'm…Timid…" said the green one.
"Nice to meet you all," said Jenna. She was unsure as to how to be their friends. "Uh…I noticed that your door needs oiling. Would you like me to take care of it?"
"I'll help you do that!" said Staid, hopping from his chair at the table. The other sprites watched Staid and Jenna oil the door, so that it would stop creaking.
"Thank you!" said Staid.
"Are all of you having a tea party?" asked Jenna, pretending she didn't know. She was hoping that they would invite her.
"Yes! Do you want to join?" asked Aqua.
"Of course!" said Jenna. Score!, she thought.
"Do you like relaxation tea?" asked Chef.
"I've never tried that before. To be honest, I like coffee better…" answered Jenna.
All seven of the sprites gasped.
"I'm sorry, but someone who likes coffee better than tea cannot come to our party," announced Chef.
"More for us," remarked Hoggy.
"…Maybe if you changed your mind…" said Timid.
"…then we might reconsider!" finished Bold.
"Goodbye Jenna! And maybe next spring, we might let you have a tea party with us!" said Staid.
Nappy, Bold, and Staid ushered out Jenna before she could utter a word, and she soon found herself at the entrance of the Church. She felt rejected.
