Evening is beginning to arrive, but sunset is not too far behind. The sun is glowing brightly like an amber stone in front of a blaze of fire. Shinning its massive power over the land, sea and sky. Making anxious creatures yearning for darkness arise even more. The wind is light and crisp with relatively no clouds in sight. So when the stars come out to play, they will be dancing with the people on this festive night of joy.
The week of the Harvest Festival has finally arrived. All the preparations have been set and everyone is getting ready to head to the island for good cheer and fun. Dancing, singing, playing games, anything you could think of would be happening. But, most of the fun happens around dark. You had been so anxious and getting ready, that you had almost forgotten the few letters that Captain Kirkland had wrote to you. You couldn't wait to see him for the whole week of the celebration. You didn't have to work during this festival holiday, so you would be able to spend as much time with each other as you both pleased. People scamper about the island wildly. Half are already gone, the other half, closing up shop and hurry to catch the next ferry to the Festival Island for a nights fun. You finish up getting ready while your other friends are doing the same. After you and a few other girls run around the upstairs tavern trying to find everything you need, you all are out the door; laughing and in good cheer. Trying to contain the excitement that will not settle down for a second. You all aboard the ferry and are practically jumping up and down by the time the ferry arrives to the pier.
You arrive on the island with your friends; all dressed up as animal and smiling from ear to ear. You had dressed up in the form of a fox. With a headband made of soft, smooth fur showing two perky fox ears, a cape make of soft auburn fur that almost reached the ground, and, of course, a auburn dress made of soft cotton with a nice bushy tail showing from beneath it. With a bit of black at the tip of each accessory, you could've been mistaken for a vixen. Your other friends were dressed up in the form of birds, squirrels, and rabbits. All of you looked around at the many different people who were dressed as foxes, lynxes, birds, and other animals that will soon go into hiding when winter arrives. Loud noises could be heard from every direction. Everyone who arrived early, was already having a good time.
You and your friends were walking around the outskirts of the island where all the bazaars were. Seeing what kinds of delectable foods were being served this year. All smelled delicious that it made your mouths water. You and Sarah went up to one of the stands that had Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie and each took a slice.
"Mmmm, delicious!" You said, practically swallowing down the slice and trying not to get it on your outfit.
"I agree, we should come back here for seconds later on," Sarah answered. Enthusiastically eating her slice of the pie.
The pie maker, Mrs. Allen, was happy to see you and others enjoy her homemade pies. "Better enjoy them while ye can luvs, they be gone in an hour!" She said laughing.
"Then we better start hoarding them now while we have a chance," you said laughing. Mrs. Allen's pies were the best, exactly like Mrs. Madeleine's cooking. But you dare not say that to her. Even though it was true. Probably because they both ere sisters who always baked in their youth and had a bakers hand for it.
You both kept walking down and noticing some games that looked fun, but what caught both of your attention was the lighting of the bonfires. It was twilight, and the ones in charge of them wanted to get an early start. Your other friends had run off to play some games or try some of the new food that had been prepared. All of a sudden you noticed your friend Sarah go off to join the dancing around the bonfire. You were about to go yourself when something caught your attention.
A soft purr enterered into your ear from behind, "You look 'foxy' my dear," said the mysterious voice.
You jumped a bit, startled, and turned around to find yours truly dressed up in a fox's attire too. His bright green eyes standing out from his copper attire. He had what would resemble a pirate's attire, but a dark auburn. However, there were a few alterations. A regular jacket that reached his knees, and a tail that was attached to the top of his pants, along with attachable fox ears; were the only alterations you could tell. His eyes were looking at you in such a way, it was almost as if he was seeing you without any clothes on. Which, of course, made you blush a bit. He was very attractive in what he wore; of course, he was just downright attractive in anything!
You only stared at him, halfway turned, with wide-eyes before finally finding some voice and burst out in a bit of laughter. He looked at you still and smirked.
"And what be that sudden bit of laugh'er fer, luv?" He asked with a big grin.
Composing yourself, finally, you replied, "You! Startling me like that. You should be ashamed of yourself."
"Aye, but the sad truth luv, I 'ave no shame", he said with a devious smile and now only a few inches from your face; with a twinkle in his eye. "Care to partake in our deviant ritual of bonfire dancin'?"
Before you could really answer, he grabbed one of your hands and led you to one of the nearest bonfires, along with a few others, and started to dance around the sparkling flames. Soon you and him let go of the wall of encircled arms and had one hand against each other up in the air and going in your own circles. Dancing and laughing while enjoying the fresh cool air. Your heart was pounding from all the excitement. You were happy that he was finally here, but still startled at how quiet he was when he approached you. Like a thief in the night, he could steal your heart away.
After a bit of dancing, and being worn out, you both started to walk around the outer circles of the dancing and other people. He was still holding one of your hands and grinning at you while watching everyone else. You were still breathless from all that, but enjoying the company. Sarah was long gone somewhere, or somewhere spying. But, you weren't too worried about her trying to steal you away or tease you. She probably went back for more of that Apple Butter pie.
"Well that was a workout," you said, exasperated and panting.
"Aye, a nice workout, even if it be fer fun. Remind me to keep that in mind if I be needin' a workout", he said with laughter. "Or I could 'ave ye help me with that workout, luv" he replied with a grin.
You slyly answered back and pointed a finger, "Orrrr, you could just do what Mrs. Madeleine said and go cluck away!"
He looked at you and laughed again, remember what she had said about him. "Hahaha, I guess ye remembered 'er advice eh? Well then, if ye hear me cluckin, don't come a buckin'".
You just chuckled a bit while you both walked towards the center of the island where the water comes in a bit. Which gives it the 'crescent' shape. The water just glimmers ever so brightly in the full moonlight. Like little diamonds that are floating onto the water. Captain Kirkland leads you to a higher spot so you both can get a good view of the fireworks, which, will start any moment. You both find a nice bench to sit on that is past the bonfires, so you can see how clear the colors are. The men are getting prepared to get ready and set of a few fireworks to start the beginning of the nightly festival and everyone is getting ready to watch the first round go.
It was near midnight when some fireworks were shot off and shouts and cheers were heard around the island. The fireworks signaled the beginning of the nightly festivities. Even though it starts early in the day, it lasts well into the night. And you were still excited about having a good time, but, you were getting a bit tired by that point.
Magnificent. The first round of fireworks were already going up and a dazzling light show was being displayed. Hues of red, orange, brown, amber, and other autumn colors were being shot straight into the air. Lightening it in various objects and animals. You and Captain Kirkland were in awe by the beauty of it. Soon the first sets were done and you both got back up to walk around to see what else was going on.
He walked you to the edge of the island where there was some large rocks that led to the ocean. There was a path carved into it and people were walking about and enjoying themselves. Not long after you two arrived, you heard another spiraling sound that signaled another round of fireworks were being set off. You about lost your balance when Arthur grabbed you by the waist before you could fall backwards. Such a startling fall even he had a look of bewilderment on him.
"Fallin' fer me already luv?" He said teasingly.
You only snorted out a giggle by accident that made him start laughing too, "I guess I be, my chicken love" you replied, trying to get a footing.
He chuckled, "Don't get this hen too excited, once I start clucking, there's no stopping me".
You both walked to a rock group that had an excellent view of the fireworks, that didn't strain your necks to see. And when the last round of fireworks were set off, that's when it happened.
He grabbed you around the waist with one arm, holding you tightly, then cupped your face with the other, and kissed you ever so passionately.
