AN: I updated this! :DD I can already tell that this story is special! I hope you enjoy this silly chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own ROTG. I only own Amber (Autumn).
Amber looked at the forms of the retreating children. They always had to leave… they could never stay outside for long. She followed the children silently, refusing the call of the wind. The wind always wants to help, but she didn't need help! Can't the wind just let her walk? The wind continued to ask if she wanted to be picked up. The girl swatted the air around her, hoping that the wind would take a simple hint. Fortunately, it stopped blowing. The girl whispered her thanks and the wind blew her hair slightly. Amber couldn't help but smile, the wind was almost like a puppy, always wanting attention.
Her pace was too slow for the children, they disappeared to Moon knows where. She sighed and rested against a small tree. She kicked a couple leaves around; she didn't want to work at the moment. It was only September, only the first month of autumn. She had enough time to change the leave's colors. More than enough time….
"I'm bored." The girl sighed. In response, the wind blew around some of the leaves, creating a mini tornado. Amber smiled at the winds effort to relieve her boredom. Like she said, the wind's like a puppy; always looking for attention. She sat down at the base of the tree and closed her eyes.
Amber felt something land on her lap and she peeked one eye open curiously. A large, dark red leaf was resting on her knee. The lone leaf sparked an idea. Faster than the wind could blow, she was on her feet and collecting leaves. She didn't want the wind to help, but she didn't want the wind to feel left out. After a mental debate, she came to a decision.
"Hey, wind." Amber called out. "Can you help?" The wind was at attention, it asked for instructions. "Gather as many leaves as you can and put them in a pile." The wind did as instructed.
With their combined work, a large pile of brightly colored leaves was made. Amber stood at the base, smiling a smile too big for her face. She was so excited! Squealing, Amber ran to a faraway tree and faced the pile. The wind was right behind her.
"I never did this before!" Amber said, getting into running position. "So I want this to be perfect. As soon as I land into the pile, come in after me." She smiled again. "This is going to be so much fun!" The wind pushed against her slightly, it was never known for being patient. Amber broke into a sprint; the pile of leaves coming up fast.
When she deemed the pile close enough, Amber jumped into the air and cannon-balled into the leaves. She sunk chin deep into the pile and relished in the beautiful crunching sound the brittle leaves made. Laughter bubbled up from deep inside her chest, she couldn't help it. This was the funnest thing she ever did. A sharp whistle filled the air and Amber knew that the wind was coming.
Suddenly the pile of leaves exploded, the leaves (and Amber) flew into the air. The wind cushioned the still-laughing Amber's fall. Both the spirit and the wind laughed, neither of them stopped laughing until the last leaf landed on the ground.
Amber's laughter stopped abruptly and her face became stoic. She lifted herself off of the ground and turned to the wind. She spoke in a serious monotone.
"Tell Spring about this and I'll ignore you for the rest of the season."
