When I woke up this morning something felt off. It was a beautiful summer day, the sun shining brightly, not a cloud to the eye, birds were singing. You know, all of that crap.

Anyways, it was the weekend, Aliena's day off anyways. I got dressed, and decided to visit Johanna. After all, what better ways to spend a perfect day like this one? Harassing Johanna Mason of course.

I didn't bother to ring her; I just wanted to drop by. After stuffing some type of pastry into my mouth I shut my front door and just as I hit the sidewalk a happy voice filled he air.

Too happy.

"Gale?"

I turned around to find Delly.

"Oh, hey Delly," I responded. I was surprised to see her here, yet again. This district is very large, so meeting someone for the second time in less than three days is something short of a miracle.

Or fate.

"Hiya! I didn't know you lived on this street! I'm just a couple of minutes away from here! What a small world," she exclaimed brightly.

"Um, yeah. Small world..." I mumbled. "So where are you headed?"

She giggled for some unknown reason. "Oh just here and there. It's such a beautiful day! The birds are singing, everyone's outside!"

Is this woman for real? I thought.

"But I was actually on my way too the parlor. I just wanted some off the sides for the wedding," she gestured at her long curls. "Would you like to join me?"

I hesitated, I'd really wanted to hang out with Johanna today but I guessed that I hadn't made any promises to her.

"Sure. I'd love to come along. But just to tell you, you look...pretty with or without the hair cut."

Where the Hell did that come from?

Delly blushed and I looked away mortified. "Well, thank you Gale," she answered.

I nodded. "We better get going then..." I said.

She smiled widely and agreed making our way to the parlor.

The rest of the day was basically a blur from there. One minute we're at the parlor then the next we're eating lunch at a local restaurant.

I learned a lot of things about her I didn't care to know before. Like how her favorite color is 'the rainbow' (go figure) she doesn't like gardening flowers because of bees, and she loves kittens and puppies. Wait a second...I'm getting a strange sense of déjà vous here.

Well I had a great time and now I'm being left with a strange giddy feeling. And I wonder when I will see Delly Cartwright again.

Gale

Hey y'all! Well sorry for the late updating again but I just wanted to give y'all a heads up on something. Okay so I just realized this story is smack in the middle so im gunna start to wrap it up especially after this chapter. For example, what happens to posy (which got a 50/50 on the polls btw), who Gale picks (Delly or Johanna) and who Aliena really is. Well I hope you enjoyed this...really short chapter! Luv ya!
