AN: I AM EATING A NECTERINE, AND IT IS DELICIOUS.

So hi~! I'm having a great day, how has your day been? I love this chapter, I had to pat myself on the back for this one.

Disclaimer: I do not own ROTG. I only own my OC's.

"People hate me." Samantha realized out of nowhere. Katie looked at her curiously before returning to her flowers.

"What do you mean, Sam?" She asked, only half interested in what the Nature Spirit apparently realized.

"I mean exactly what I said!" The red-head exclaimed before she stood up abruptly, scattering several flower petals in the process. "People hate me!" She stamped her foot slightly for emphasis. Katie didn't care about the emphasis, she only saw the massacre her flowers were going through.

"Oka, okay." Katie said in a calming voice. "Just calm down for a second and stop killing the flowers." Samantha looked down, suddenly noticing the crushed, petal-less flowers.

"Ehe…oops." She said with a smile that was supposed to be apologetic. "Sorry." She didn't sound sorry at all. Katie sighed deeply, trying to expel any frustration that would cause the situation to go from bad to worse.

"You're not sorry at all, so don't give me that apologetic bullshit. I've known you for decades. Just sit down and explain to me why you think that everyone hates you." When Samantha looked like she was going to plop down onto the ground, Katie added with an edge to her voice. "And sit down carefully so that you don't kill any more of my babies." Samantha froze in her actions, contemplated the consequences of disobeying, and slowly squatted to the ground. Katie smiled sweetly. "Good, now start explaining." Her attention went back to the flowers.

"Well," Samantha started, blowing a string of hair out of her face. "Amber always looks like she's planning the best possible way to get rid of me."

"Amber looks like that to everyone. You aren't a special case."

"Jack actually tries to me whenever I get close to him."

"Because you try to kill him first." Katie rolled her eyes.

"That bastard…" Samantha muttered darkly.

"Anything else?" Katie sighed.

"Yes!" Samantha snapped and Katie held up her hands in mock surrender. "The kids never seem to actually enjoy summer!"

"Of course they do." Katie said, now looking at her acquaintance with genuine confusion. "Don't they always wish for summer to come?"

"They only want the vacation!" Samantha all but screamed. "They don't care about the actual season, just the vacation that comes with it!" Samantha fell to the ground dramatically, crushing several flowers in the process. Katie didn't care about the flowers this time though; she was concerned about her acquaintances small breakdown.

"What makes you think that?" She asked softly.

"They're always holed up inside their homes." Samantha mumbled. "When they walk outside, they only complain about the heat. After awhile they grow bored and wish for summer to end, they ignore the beauty of my season and just wish for it to end. I've never heard anyone wish for spring to end. Or autumn. …Or winter." She sighed and ducked her head into the flowers. "Why should I bother with this if my very season isn't appreciated?"

Katie shuffled over to the Summer Spirit's fallen form. She put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Hey, there are plenty who wish for the other seasons to end too."

"Really?" Samantha asked, voice muffled from the flowers surrounding her face.

"Yes, really." Katie nodded. "People hate the allergies that come with spring and autumn, and many people hate the cold that comes with winter. But y'know what?"

"What?" Samantha lifted her head up and looked at Katie skeptically.

"There are plenty of people that love summer as well. Just because someone hates something, that doesn't mean that others don't like it as well. Just look at the people who live by the beaches; they love summer." Samantha smiled and stood up abruptly, once again scattering flower petals.

"You're right!" Sam exclaimed with a large grin on her face. "There are people who love my work!" Her brown eyes gained their usual spark and Katie knew that she was fine now. The wind lifted Samantha into the air and the Summer Spirit laughed loudly. "I'm going to mess with Amber now, so see you later Kate!" She turned around and flew off.

"It's Katie." Katie sighed with a small smile on her face, before she could go back to her flowers though, Samantha returned. "Yes?" Samantha looked at Katie with an uncharacteristic softness in her eyes.

"Thank you." Her voice was soft and genuine; she flew off before Katie could even comprehend what was said. When the meaning of the words dawned on Katie's mind, a soft smile graced her lips.

"You're welcome." She whispered to the wind.

As she looked down at the crushed flowers and for once she didn't care about the mess.
