Okay okay. Check it out, check it out, check it out. I still haven't gotten any reviews yet, so some reviews would help. Chapter 2 was pretty long, so I'm gonna try to make Chapter 3 just as long and more interesting for you. I was going to have it to where Rosetta talks throughout the story, but I think it would be more heartwarming and interesting if she didn't. Maybe the flower took away her voice or something. Although, she will talk in her head, so her voice isn't completely gone. I'm open to suggestions for this story as well. If you have any let me know.
Mrs Perkins had Rosetta try on all kinds of different clothing, but everything seemed really tight, and uncomfortable. Then she finally found just the thing.
"Oh goodness. Its beautiful."
Rosetta had on a new Red and white tubed, summer dress that fit perfectly. Her hair was longer and more beautiful and she had a single rose flower in it. She looked very lovely.
"Mrs Perkins do you have a-" said Lizzy as she walked in. She noticed Rosetta.
"Wow. You look so wonderful Miss Rosetta."
Rosetta smiled and did a little curtsy.
"She does doesn't she?" said Mrs P admiring her fashion handiwork.
"Well um. I just came to see if you could help me with my doll. I can't get the diaper to stay on."
"Oh not to worry, I'll help you-"
Rosetta ceased her. She took the doll from Lizzy and sat it on the bed. Then in know time she was able to seal the diaper closed.
"Wow thanks!" said Lizzy as Rosetta handed the doll back.
Lizzy suddenly gave her a hug. Rosetta's heart sank as she wasn't expecting it. Something as starting to happen. Then Lizzy ran back into her room and shut the door.
"You're quite smart for a homeless girl too." said Mrs. Perkins rather surprised.
Rosetta turned to her and smiled.
"Well I'm going to get the chores started now. I'll see you around Rosetta dear." she said as she walked out of the room.
Rosetta walked through the halls of the house, trying to get used to her new surroundings. It was a little tough for her though, because of the fact that she was so used to being around plants and nature all the time. With each step on the floor, there was nothing but hard wood. Suddenly she could hear Lizzy playing in her room. She peeked inside and saw her.
"There you go Candy. Some nice num num for you." Lizzy said as she fed her doll with a fake bottle.
Rosy just smiled and moved on. On her left were many pictures and photos of the Griffiths. Being together and having a good time with each other. She was very amazed at the pictures. On her right were many ornaments and objects that Martin had collected over the years. Finally she came to the stairs. They creaked as she came down. When she got to the bottom, she saw Mrs P washing dishes in the kitchen. She looked around some more. She could see the living room where she first woke up, and behind the stairs was the path to Martin's study.
Then lastly, her attention came to the front door, leading outside. As she thought about it, it had to be hours since she's been outside. The last time she was outside was when she was still a fairy. She new what the outside looked like at a fairies point of view, but now she wondered how a human would see it.
She slowly made her way there. Mrs P was too busy to notice her go by.
She grabbed the knob, turned it, and opened the door. The gently summer breeze blew through her beautiful hair as she stepped outside for the first time as a , she ran out and went into the field, spinning around in amazement of it all. Nearby however, Fawn was out teaching some frogs.
"Okay fellas now we just need to keep practicing and-"
When suddenly, Rosetta was so busy spinning and prancing around, she didn't see them they nearly got stepped on.
"WHOA! What the-!" said Fawn she and the frogs darted out of the way.
She looked up and couldn't believe her eyes.
"R-R-R-R-Rosetta?" she asked. Stunned at her once, best friend's new appearance.
Everything looked different. Smaller. The grass now was just grass instead of the towering jungle. She was now face to face with the trees (Well sort of), and she could finally feel the full sensation of a new perspective. She walked around the house. In the fields, on the dirt road, in the courtyards, and most importantly, the gardens.
She came to a large flower garden in the backyard. Even though they now loomed smaller, they were still very beautiful. It was interesting to see them in a new light and perspective. She touched one of the flowers. It seemed to react to her just as well as when she was a fairy. Even though she wasn't one anymore.
She giggled silently. But then, she could feel and unpleasant essence coming from behind her.
She turned around and saw a broken gate leading somewhere. She was a bit frightened by this essence, but it felt like something was in trouble. Like, like of kind of living thing was dying.
Her heavy concern pressed her on into the unknown area to see what was happening. She carefully opened the broken gate and went inside. What she saw, scared her beyond all she had ever known.
It was a withered flower garden. Many plants were slowly dying. Being a garden fairy, Rosetta couldn't bear to look at them. She got on her knees and grabbed some of the soil. It was bone dry. It quickly floated out of her hand like dust and disappeared into the watched in almost complete sadness as it did.
"I see you've found our old flower garden." said Lizzy from behind.
Rosetta turned to see her just in front of the broken gate.
"Nothing had been able to grow here in years."
"Why?" asked Rosetta in sign language.
"I don't know. That's what father said. He said that when he was my age, he grew this garden all by himself. And for some reason, he just stopped."
Rosy felt almost angry at hearing this. How could anyone stop taking care of anything with life inside them.
Lizzy joined her on the ground.
"You must really love flowers. I do too." she said noticing the flower in Rosetta's hair.
Rosetta was too busy staring at the garden to hear though.
Lizzy turned back to it herself. As she looked onward with Rosetta. Something suddenly swept over her. It was like she and Rosetta were thinking and feeling alike as they stared at the once beautiful garden.
Rosetta looked angst at the garden. She felt like she could help it somehow. She wasn't a fairy anymore, but she still knew everything there was to know about gardening.
She touched the bare soil with her hands. Lizzy watched as she did this.
The dirt cradled itself between her fingers. She began to close her eyes. The wind blew in her hair. She took a deep breath.
Lizzy was startled to see that a plant was growing next to her fingers. Then many other plants were growing as well. The soil started to moisten, the smell of the garden fumed into a sweet aroma as Rosetta tightened her focus on the withered.
Flowers grew and bloomed in a matter of seconds in front of Lizzy's very eyes. Lizzy was stunned beyond all relief. Soon, the entire garden was restored. Flowers, and plants were fully grown and could finally awaken to the full sun high in the sky.
Lizzy's eyes were wide. She couldn't believe what had just happened.
Rosetta was just as stunned as she was. Despite now being a human, she still had her talent powers.
"W-w-what are you?" asked Lizzy as she turned to face Rosetta.
All the while, Rosy was busy staring at her hands. If she still had her powers, she could maybe find a way to change back.
"How is it that you could do that!" yelled Lizzy trying to get an explanation out of Rosy who quickly shushed her.
Rosetta knew that she couldn't reveal herself to Lizzy. Fairies were supposed to keep themselves hidden from humans at all times, but frankly, what other choice did she have? She just restored an entire withered garden magically.
She began drawing in the soil with her finger. She was drawing the shape of a fairy.
Lizzy looked down and followed.
"A fairy?"she asked.
Rosetta nodded.
"Y-y-you're a...fairy?"
Rosetta looked down at herself. She looked up to see Lizzy quickly dart out of the garden in disbelief.
"MRS PERKINS!" She yelled inside the house.
Rosetta quickly got up and caught her just in time.
Lizzy was out of breath.
"Listen to me, you can't tell anyone I'm a fairy." Rosy signaled with her arms and hands.
"Why not? It's amazing!"
"Humans aren't supposed to discover us. It's bad enough you did."
"But fairies are small. How are you a fairy if you don't have any wings? Or pointed ears?"
Rosy then took Lizzy back to the garden and the two of them got on their knees. She drew a picture of a flower in the dirt. Then an arrow pointing at the fairy. Lastly she drew a picture of a human.
"A flower, a fairy, and a human." said Lizzy trying to follow.
Rosetta first pointed to the fairy, then the flower, then the human.
"You were a fairy, but then a flower made you become human?"
Rosetta nodded. That sounded close enough to it.
"So if you're really a fairy, then how can you change back?"
Rosetta wasn't so sure about that. She was a garden fairy, but even she didn't know much about that flower she saw in the meadow.
"Well don't worry your secret is safe with me." said Lizzy.
Rosetta looked at her and smiled.
"And I'll help to change you back, I promise."
They both got up from the ground and dusted themselves off. They started outside the garden.
"In the meantime, I can teach how to be a human. It'll be fun. "
Meanwhile Fawn was flying as fast as she could to find Rosetta. She flew to the front of the house where she assumed Rosy would be. She peered through the window but didn't see anyone inside.
"Rosy? Rosy where are you?" she asked herself looking around for her friend.
Suddenly, there was a big thump. It sounded like walking. It was getting closer. And closer. Soon it was there and Fawn turned around to see Rosetta and Lizzy happily walking past her and into the house.
"I knew it." Fawn said as she realized that what she saw was real. Rosetta was a human. "But how?" she asked.
As Rosy and Lizzy were just about to shut the door behind them, Fawn zipped inside unnoticed. She hid inside a small corner on the wall, and watched as the two clopped upstairs. She zipped up there as they were walking down the hall.
"Rosy, what happened to you?" Fawn whispered in disbelief.
Rosetta and Lizzy walked into Lizzy's room.
"To start, can I show you some of my toys?" Lizzy asked.
Rosetta simply nodded.
Fawn landed by the door and looked up at them as they were playing.
"This one is Buttercup, this one's Daisy, and this one is my favorite, Candy." said Lizzy showing doll after doll to Rosetta.
"I gotta go warn the others." said Fawn running off.
That will do for chapter 3. Please review. I really want to see what you guys think of this. :)
