Just to let you know this chapter is more based on characters POV. I might also include Pansy's and Wisteria's POV also later on. Anyways Enjoy!

Blueberry's POV

The past few days have been one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride. First off my mother keeps putting pressure on me because of my 'so called duties' to become her vision of a future leader. And then my closest friend gets picked on by the most horrible, nasty, selfish, and spiteful gnome in the history of gnomes. Lastly I met Redbrick. Oh dear sweet Redbrick. Wait, why am I thinking that way? I shouldn't be thinking like that! I'm like a love sick teenager. What is wrong with me? All I did was stand up to Pansy and then her brother had to show up! Now I am going on walks and secretly meeting with him? Who am I?

When I first laid eyes on Redbrick I noticed him like no other gnome I had seen before. There was just something about him that made it hard to look away from. Was it his bushy brown eyebrows? Or his sweet innocent smile? Whatever it was, it had certainly had a big impact on my life. I remember the time when my mother was having another crack at Lord Redbury. I never really cared much about them. Just the handsome looking gnome who stood smiling at me. Watching me with those warm brown eyes of his.

And when we walked… things seemed to change. I usually have a laid back attitude around my fellow gnomes, but when I'm around him, that seems to disappear like it was a different part of me. Could it be true? Am I in love with him?

Well anyway as I walked back into the blue garden after my walk with Redbrick I just closed the gate and smiled. I couldn't believe I just kissed his cheek. Things were going slow for us and things seemed to get really tense at one point. But those awkward moments weren't for the wrong reasons. As a matter of fact, they were good! But I couldn't stop thinking about him!

"Oh Blueberry," I muttered to myself "what have you got yourself into?" I couldn't help but chuckle. I never considered falling for anyone in my own garden let alone next door. It was such a shame that Redbrick is the brother of Pansy. If it wasn't for her, I would not have such a harsh opinion of the reds. After getting grips onto reality again I decided to go speak to Wisteria. She was very eager to hear about what happened and insisted I didn't leave one single detail out.

As I entered Wisteria's pad I noticed she was sitting down with Toadstool playing some sort of board game. She looked up and noticed me standing in the entrance and smirked. What she said next I was not surprised in the least. "So how did it go?" Wisteria wore a look of amusement mixed with eager curiosity. It was a deadly mix when you were trying to keep your date—eh walk a secret.

"It went fine I guess," I replied sitting down in a nearby chair that had unique hippie designs on the interior. I could tell by her face that my answer was not enough to satisfy her. She then pressed further on.

"And? I told you to give me details Blueberry not small answers to avoid everything!"

"Fine…" I rolled my eyes and then took a deep breath before continuing "would it surprise you if I told you I kissed his cheek?"

Wisteria looked blank at me for a moment. She seemed disappointed in some way, I watched as her eagerness to hear how the walk went slowly faded away leaving a very puzzled expression in its wake. "Is that it?" Wisteria asked. That confused me; now it was my turn to throw a puzzled glance in her direction.

"Yes. What? You weren't expecting anything more happening did you? I did kiss him on the cheek but that was it. He seemed too nervous to even allow me to stoke his arm," I replied feeling a little sad as I spoke it. Wisteria suddenly looked at me in disbelief and shook her head whilst tutting at me as if I had done something wrong.

"I can't believe you made the first move!" Wisteria threw her arms in the air and looked around the room before going back to me "he sure sounds like a wimp to me!"

I was actually hurt by her last comment. Redbrick wasn't a wimp! He was just… shy. "He's no wimp. He is just too sweet to make any moves yet," I explained. I then looked down at the floor and remained quiet. Wisteria had obviously noticed my change in behaviour and came over to me and reached for my shoulder.

"What's wrong Blueberry?" Wisteria sounded concerned. I sighed and looked up at her. I had concealed this secret since the day I laid eyes on him and I could not conceal it no more.

"I think I love him Wisteria. I think I'm in love with Redbrick!" I admitted to her but most of all to myself. I had tried to convince myself otherwise but I could no longer do that. It seemed that things had changed for better or worse and I loved Redbrick and there was nothing anyone could do to stop that!

Redbrick's POV

I walked into the red garden acting as if nothing had happened. I tried to conceal all of the happiness that was bubbling up inside me to keep suspicions away from me. Especially from Pansy. Speaking of the devil she was back to her evil ways.

Outside the gate I heard a scream coming from inside my garden so I hurried inside to check out who it was. As it turned out, it was only a poor girl gnome who had fallen for one of Pansy's pranks. While my father yelled at my sister I decided to go and smile to myself in private. The last thing I wanted was for my sister to tease me or even worse, find out!

"Pansy you are so close to being stuck on your pedestal with super glue!" I heard my father yell. I wish he would just do that already! Super glue should keep her there for many years so we could be free from her and her attitudes.

"I would like to see you try old man!" my sister retorted. I felt my eyes widen slightly. My sister usually picked fights with my dad but never insulted him too much. I could see that this argument was going to get messy so I decided to get as far away from it as possible before my father got me involved.

I soon found myself sat next to our wishing well and I went into deep thought. I considered the last few days and what events had taken place.

Only a couple of days ago I was just plain Redbrick. A gnome with no purpose other than to be the future leader of the garden. I started out my mornings helping my parents in any way possible and next thing I know is that I am defending the most beautiful gnome I had ever seen from my beast of a sister. I never really cared for the blue garden before I met her. My father always told me that the blue garden was led by a "crack pot" called Lady Bluebell, and that I should never get involved with them. Next thing I knew I am falling for that "crack pots" daughter. Was this really love? I remember the first time I laid eyes on her. She was held several inches off the ground in the hands of my sister. She showed no pain or hurt, just determination. I knew that she was defending her friend but the determination showed me many things. I never considered love to be one of them.

I just sat there going over the same thoughts again and again in my head. No one around me seemed to notice except for one certain gnome. My mother.

"Redbrick? Redbrick are you ok son?" my mother smiled concerned at me. I looked up at her and saw the concern that was evident on her features. I then noticed how long I had been sitting thinking. It was almost dark!

"I'm fine mother," I started covering up my emotions with a smile.

"Well ok then… I was just concerned as all. Your father and I were wondering where you were this afternoon. It wasn't until we asked Pansy that we found out," my mother squinted at having to say her daughter's name, and I knew why.

"So how did that argument start with father and Pansy earlier?" I asked. I was curious back then but it didn't bother me much. More important things were on my mind.

"Well your sister pulled a prank on one of the other gnomes. I'm not sure what she did but it seriously made your father very angry. He went over to her and they soon found themselves arguing like hell. I stayed away from it until I knew I would have to make the peace between them. Pansy is very close to being either grounded for life or banished from the garden." I saw sadness wash over my mothers face. The last thing she wanted to do was banish her own daughter. No parent should have to go through that.

"Well anyway I might as well go check on your father," my mother sighed standing up and was about to walk away. I decided to speak up about a matter that had bugged me all night.

"Mother!" I started. My mother turned around abruptedly and awaited me to speak "could I talk to you about something?"

"Of course Redbrick! Ask me anything you want!" my mother spoke reassuringly which gave me a confidence boost.

"Well I just wanted to ask you about how you met father. How did you know it was love?"

"Well…" my mother started trying to think of how to explain it "When I first met your father I was just about your age. I was laid back and never really considered myself to be a loving person. But when I met your father that all changed. I couldn't stop looking at him. We talked to each other and got to know about each other well. Soon enough we knew it was love… why did you want to ask me that Redbrick? Have you found someone?" my mother suddenly smiled. I started to panic inside. I didn't want to tell anyone, at least not yet.

"No mother I was just curious as all," I told her. Her sudden smile began to fade. She was buying it!

"Oh… ok then. Well if that's it son I guess I had better go check on you father. Goodbye!" and with that my mother was gone.

I still needed to think about stuff. But all this thinking had come up with a conclusion which wasn't so bad. I was now in love with Blueberry! And tomorrow I was going to do everything in my power to tell her how I really felt.

…

Wisteria's POV

I stood there whilst my friend told me how her date went with Redbrick. She suddenly went very quiet so I asked her what was troubling her. What she said next I would never have expected her to say. Just yet anyway.

"I think I love him Wisteria. I think I'm in love with Redbrick!" Did she just say she loved him? THE Blueberry Montague saying she loved someone? Was this for real? I just stood there with my mouth slightly wide as she admitted her feelings. I would usually have teased her about her liking someone like a usual close friend would, and as always she would go and deny it. This time it was different. This time she didn't deny it and most of all she actually admitted it out loud. I couldn't help but just stand there staring into nothing.

"Wisteria? Are you going to reply?" Blueberry suddenly pulled me back to reality and I then smiled like a school girl.

"Huh? Oh Blueberry! I'm so happy for you! Are you meeting him again so you can tell him how you feel?" I clapped with glee. Blueberry didn't seem half as eager as I did.

"Perhaps. I am meeting him tomorrow night at the Lawrence garden," Blueberry smiled and I raised my eyebrows a little.

"Why the Lawrence garden? Why don't you just bring him here or something?" Blueberry suddenly became tense and I immediately regretted saying that.

"Bring him here? Are you insane? I want to keep this relationship a secret and there is no way I want my mum finding out about this! And we chose the Lawrence garden because no one goes in there and the people who live there don't even notice anything," Blueberry fumed. I looked down at the floor before turning to face Toadstool who sat there as usual on my stack of records acting as if nothing was going on. I couldn't blame him. I mean if it wasn't for me, Blueberry wouldn't have met Redbrick in the way she did. If it wasn't for me to be the constant victim of Pansy's cruelness I would not have been pressuring her to love him.

"Look Blueberry I am sorry! I just haven't seen you like this before in my entire life! It is so strange to see you this happy. You do what you wish and I will keep out of it," I said this calmly and Blueberry smiled slightly.

"Thanks Wisteria, I knew I could always count on you!" Blueberry hugged me but was soon stopped when Lady Bluebell's voice could be heard.

"Blueberry! Where are you?" Blueberry headed to the door.

"I'm afraid I have to go. See you later Wistie!" Blueberry smiled at me and nudged me on the shoulder before leaving. I looked back at Toadstool who already had a record in his small hands.

"Ah, young love huh?" I said as I took the record from Toadstool and began to play it.

…

Both blue gnomes and red gnomes were calm at this time in the evening. The sun was setting and everywhere was going dark quickly. Ms Montague was in her house listening to music when she heard a yell come from outside. She sighed and turned her music off and went to find out who was yelling. It was obviously her neighbour Mr Capulet. He was obviously annoyed judging by the tone of his voice. Ms Montague sighed, "Here we go again."

"What do you want at this late hour Mr Capulet? If it's about that gate of yours, I said I would pay for it!" Ms Montague shouted from over her fence.

"I'm outraged!" Mr Capulet spoke "Not only have you destroyed my gate but now you destroy my perfect pansies!" Mr Capulet roared. It was obvious to the gnomes that there would be no rest this evening.

"Why how dare you accuse me of such a crime! I did nothing of the sort!" Ms Montague replied insulted by his false accusation. Of course it wasn't her fault. It was Pansy's! But try telling that to two feuding neighbours. Meanwhile on her pedestal, Pansy was trying to restrain her laughter. Redbrick, who stood on the boat nearby, glared up at his sister who still continued to smirk like a naughty school girl who had got away with not doing her homework.

"I have had it with your petty excuses Ms Montague! I will take no more of them! This means war I tell you! WAR!" Mr Capulet screeched and then stormed back indoors and slammed his door behind him. Ms Montague stood there a moment taking in what he had just said; she then looked up and then shouted back.

"Ok so it's a war you want? It's a war you shall get!" and with that Ms Montague went back inside to continue to listen to her music. This was now officially a war between to neighbours and even more; between to gardens. Neither of the gardens knew it would go on for over an entire gnome generation. And neither sides knew it would be at the expense of many incidents when a gnome gets smashed.

…

The following day was very quiet. Many gnomes remained silent until they were sure the humans were gone. Once they were sure of this, they started to be livelier. Lord and Lady Redbury and Lady Bluebell had agreed to meet at the hole in the fence. They were going to discuss about where they now stood in this so called 'war between two gardens'. Both of them had the same idea.

Before Lady Bluebell had arrived at the fence she dragged Blueberry along with her and insisted that she should attend this meeting "Blueberry, you will be having meetings like this one day. Perhaps with the next leader for the red garden," Lady Bluebell explained. Blueberry suddenly perked up a little. Wait. Wasn't Redbrick the next leader of the red garden? If that were true, she would love to have many meetings with him. Blueberry thought this through dreamily but was immediately dragged back into reality when she saw Lord and Lady Redbury standing at the gap in the fence looking very serious. Blueberry looked behind them but could not see Redbrick. She was slightly disappointed when she couldn't see him.

"Lord and Lady Redbury I think you have already met my daughter?" Lady Bluebell asked. Lord and Lady Redbury sighed and glanced at each other before continuing.

"Yes Lady Bluebell, number of times in fact." Blueberry glanced at Lord and Lady Redbury and smiled politely. Redbrick obviously took his looks after his father. He had the same bushy eyebrows and beard with a very faint brown on it. Of course it wasn't as clear as Redbrick's, but Lord Redbury was older looking and had more wear than Redbrick did. Lady Redbury on the other hand looked a little bit like her daughter. She had red hair, a little darker than her daughters but with more age looking, and wore a very pretty dress. It was obvious Pansy got her looks from her mother whilst Redbrick got his from his father. With Blueberry it was completely the opposite. While her mother had short whitish blondish hair, her father once had golden blonde hair. Blueberry obviously took after her father.

"Yes… well we are here to discuss the fate of our gardens are we not?" Lady Bluebell continued trying to remain calm.

"Indeed we are. Now we reds do not wish to harm or fight with any of you blues," Lord Redbury spoke.

"Well we should make an oath!" Lady Bluebell said. Both Lord and Lady Redbury gave puzzled looks "To secure the promise that neither garden attacks the other at any costs."

"Agreed! Perhaps we should shake on it!" Lady Redbury suggested, her husband and Lady Bluebell both shook their heads in approval.

"Yes! And my daughter and your son should shake on it too! I mean after all, they are the next leaders of these gardens!" Lady Bluebell also added. Blueberry, who stood next to her, rolled her eyes and sighed. She always had to get her involved didn't she? Blueberry was also not paying much attention at this point and had no idea what was about to happen next.

"Yes!" Lord Redbury smiled then turned back to call his son over. Redbrick stood nearby his sister who looked like she was giving him a mouthful. "Redbrick! Come over here please!" Blueberry's attention was suddenly caught. Did he just say Redbrick?

Meanwhile over at her pedestal Pansy looked over to see the commotion. Her father had called her brother over to the hole in the fence where the blues were usually talked with the reds. It was there that Pansy was once able to punch Wisteria right between her small blue eyes. Wisteria (as always) ran off crying whilst Pansy and her gang of red gnomes cheered and applauded. Pansy hated Wisteria's guts and would usually do whatever it took to show her that she was more superior than any blue! But today it was quite different. Both her mother and father stood at the hole and wore calm expressions. What's going on here then? The neighbours finally announced a war between the gardens and now the leaders of both gardens were having a peaceful discussion? Pansy was going to change that!

Redbrick sighed and relief took control of him as his father called him over for something. Pansy was really getting to him as she kept insulting him as always. He smiled and turned to his sister who looked down at her brother with narrowing eyes.

"It was nice talking to you, you brat!" Redbrick continued to smile as he walked in the direction of the fence. He couldn't hear his sister's reply. Did she even reply to him?

Once in a good distance nearby the fence Redbrick could hear his parents and Lady Bluebell speaking but he never saw the blue gnomes on the other side of the fence until one particular moment when he felt his life suddenly stand still. His vision zoomed past Lady Bluebell onto the gnome who stood next to her, her daughter Blueberry. Both Blueberry and Redbrick stood there for about what seemed a lifetime staring into each others eyes smiling widely. Both their parents stood there speaking until they both noticed their son and daughter's strange behaviour. Lord Redbury observed his son and then coughed loudly interrupting both gnomes.

"Today if you don't mind son," Lord Redbury was completely oblivious to the real reason why his son was acting so strangely and so were Lady Bluebell and Lady Redbury. Blueberry looked down at the floor too embarrassed to look up and Redbrick soon found himself face to face with the two blue gnomes on the other side of the fence.

"Anyway… Redbrick, we were on about despite the fact the humans have declared war on each other, us gnomes will remain peaceful! Both sides are keeping this promise and we would like you and Lady Bluebell's daughter to also keep this promise! You are both the future leaders of these gardens and the last thing we want right now is a gnome war!" Lady Redbury explained.

"We request that you shake hands and say peace to each other!" Lady Bluebell announced. Blueberry and Redbrick suddenly tensed and there was an awkward silence for several moments before both Lord Redbury and Lady Bluebell pushed their son and daughter forward to shake on it.

Redbrick and Blueberry smiled and stuck their hands out. Both grasped on tightly and Redbrick had to resist the urge to kiss her hand. They then shook their hands and said in unison. "Peace!" They would have kept their hands together if it wasn't for Lord Redbury voice interrupting them.

"Well now," he began "thank you for this discussion, but we must get back to the garden. Many duties to attend and all that!" Blueberry chuckled inwardly. She knew it was just an excuse to get as far away from her mother as possible. And she hardly blamed him. Her mother wasn't the most interesting gnome to be around. By heck she was! She was dull, just plain dull.

"Yes good day Lord and Lady Redbury!" Lady Bluebell waved before turning around to leave. Lord and Lady Redbury did the same but were quicker to scramble away just in case Lady Bluebell had something else to complain about. This left Blueberry and Redbrick alone at the fence. Redbrick looked behind him to see if anyone was watching, Pansy in particular. But as it turned out Pansy was too busy talking to another gnome to even notice her brother. Blueberry also checked to see if anyone in her garden was watching but also the coast was clear. Once sure of this, both gnomes turned back to face each other.

"Well…" Redbrick began awkwardly.

"Well…?" Blueberry smiled staring at him once more.

"Uh… I will see you tonight then?" Redbrick asked not knowing what to say.

"I guess you will," Blueberry assured him.

"Blueberry…?" Redbrick began.

"Yes?" Blueberry said a little too eagerly. She wanted to know what he was about to say.

"Oh it doesn't matter, I will tell you tonight!" Redbrick said. Blueberry sighed, so much for getting her hopes up.

"Ok then… I guess I had better go! I got to attend my duties and stuff. See you at sunset!" Blueberry smiled before walking off leaving Redbrick standing there feeling stupid.

"At sunset…" Redbrick whispered before walking back to attend his duties.

…

As the sun went down many birds could be heard making loads of noise, crickets could also be heard around the area and everything seemed peaceful. Many gnomes were getting prepared for the night ahead. Both of the neighbours were out for the night so the gnomes were able to do what ever they wished.

In the red garden Redbrick was starting to panic. Not only was he going to have to sneak past his sister to get out of the garden, but he was going to admit his feelings to Blueberry tonight. Redbrick went to the daisy patch in the garden and picked out a bunch of daisies. It was near sunset now not long until he was about to meet up with the love of his life. Redbrick looked out to see if his parents were around but he saw no sight of them. Redbrick decided he would make his epic escape attempt now whilst the coast was clear.

Redbrick dashed through the garden at a very fast speed with the bouquet of daisies in his hand. He had made it this far without being seen, but his greatest challenge still remained. Sneaking past his hawkeyed sister without being noticed. Redbrick looked in all directions as he stepped towards the pedestal. He looked up at the top of the pedestal when he heard a noise. As it turned out his sister was asleep and snoring loudly. Redbrick was relieved she was asleep. He could escape without any suspicions what so ever. Now only one problem stood. He would have to find a good excuse to tell his parents where he was. But he would think of that later. Right now he had more important things on his mind.

In the blue garden on the other hand Blueberry was in Wisteria's pad. Wisteria was not playing any games or listening to any music. She just sat their waiting patiently for Blueberry to announce she was leaving. Toadstool was sulking because Wisteria didn't want to play music. Blueberry just kept her eyes fixed outside and watched as the sun went down. She then wanted to make sure she was clear with Wisteria.

"So are you sure you will make up a good enough excuse for my mother?" Blueberry asked making sure "I still don't know what time I will be back!"

"Yes Blueberry! How many times do I have to tell you?" Wisteria rolled her eyes. "You know what?" Wisteria then smiled mischievously.

"What?" Blueberry raised an eyebrow.

"I may just tag along on your next date! I would love to meet Redbrick myself!" Wisteria grinned. Blueberry was actually surprised by this.

"Well perhaps Wisteria. But not tonight! I want to speak to Redbrick about a private matter that only concerns us!" Blueberry explained kind of defensively.

"What that you love him? I can't wait to hear the news! You will tell me right?" Wisteria urged excitedly.

"Yes of course! Now if you don't mind I think it's time for me to go!" Blueberry stood up and headed towards the door. Wisteria followed and hugged her friend tightly.

"Good luck!" Blueberry chuckled.

"I'm gonna need it!" and then Blueberry snuck out of the gate unseen by anybody but Wisteria and Toadstool.

…

Redbrick smiled to himself as he waited nearby the blue gate. He observed the bunch of flowers he held in his hands and tried to make them as neat as possible. When he heard a creak from the blue gate he put the flowers behind his back.

Blueberry emerged from the gate and smiled as she shut the gate. She looked back at Wisteria one last time, who gave her a confident thumb up. She then turned back to a smiling Redbrick who had one hand behind his back.

"Blueberry! It's so nice to see you!" Redbrick exclaimed happily.

"Same to you Redbrick! What do you have behind your back?" Blueberry had noticed his one hand that still grasped the bouquet of flowers tightly. Redbrick suddenly brought his hand forward and Blueberry was surprised to see a bunch of daisies in his hand.

"For you!" Redbrick blushed slightly as he felt Blueberry touch his hand as she grasped the flowers.

"Thank you Redbrick! That is so sweet of you!" Blueberry then smelled the flowers and turned back to Redbrick.

"Well… perhaps we should get going?" Redbrick suggested offering his arm to Blueberry.

"Indeed we should," Blueberry smiled and instead of taking Redbrick's arm, she grasped his hand. Redbrick was a little surprised by her sudden movements but felt content at the same time. A mix of nerves and happiness now consumed and played with his emotions.

Soon the two gnomes walked into the Lawrence garden still hand in hand. The garden was very pretty. Lights were shining on the trees, and the sunset was reflected on a nearby pond. It was magical and Blueberry was in the company of Redbrick. She had a feeling that this night was going to be a night to remember.

Redbrick sat down on the grass and so did Blueberry. They both felt content in each others company and sat there in silence for several moments, and surprisingly enough, the silence was not uncomfortable. Blueberry soon broke it as she looked up at the sky.

"It's very dark now, I can see the stars! They're beautiful!" Redbrick also looked up at the sky in amazement. She was right, the stars were beautiful this evening.

"Yes, I bet there are loads more that will appear later on!" Redbrick then looked back at Blueberry who smiled softly.

"So what do you want to do?" Blueberry asked still smiling.

"I don't know," Redbrick began then he suddenly stood up "perhaps we should explore the grounds!"

"Yes of course! What a great idea!" Blueberry also stood up and followed Redbrick.

Redbrick and Blueberry walked around the garden and explored the grounds. They were both eager to be there, well just in each others company. Redbrick walked ahead and did not expect Blueberry to say what she was about to say.

"You know Redbrick; you didn't tell me what you were going to say earlier…" Blueberry began. Redbrick suddenly froze; he wasn't expecting her to bring that up now!

"Uh… well," Redbrick began turning around to face Blueberry who looked at him expectedly. Redbrick took in a deep breath before speaking. "Blueberry you have been the light of my life for the past few days and I now know how I feel," Redbrick stopped right there hoping but knowing that Blueberry would want to hear more.

"Yes?" Blueberry urged making Redbrick more nervous. He was dreading her reaction. If she turned him down, he would be heart broken. But if she did not he would be the happiest gnome alive.

"Blueberry I-" Redbrick began before another voice interrupted his speech.

"Hola!" a Spanish accent spoke aloud. Redbrick and Blueberry turned around and were so startled they both fell over. The peculiar voice belonged to a pink, plastic, male flamingo who was smiling wide. "What are you two love birds doing out this late huh?" the flamingo continued, both Redbrick and Blueberry sat there with their surprised faces and did not know what to say or do.

"Uh… who are you?" Redbrick asked nervously, the flamingo looked down at the two gnomes and walked slowly towards them.

"Oh, I'm Featherstone!" the flamingo exclaimed happily "and who might you 'lovey dovies' be?"

"Uh, I'm Redbrick and this is Blueberry my-"

"Girlfriend?"

"Friend!" Redbrick corrected trying to make the flamingo believe his story. Featherstone wasn't taking any of it.

"No need to cover up your relationship to me gnome! I promise I won't tell anyone about this, except for Miranda of course!" Featherstone explained.

"Who's Miranda?" Blueberry asked looking puzzled. She and Redbrick had no idea that anyone lived in this garden. If they knew then what they knew now… well they wouldn't have bothered venturing into the garden in the first place.

"Oh Miranda is my wife!" Featherstone replied. "Follow me young gnomes and you will be able to meet her!"

Both Blueberry and Redbrick looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. There was no point in arguing with the flamingo considering this was his garden. Redbrick help Blueberry get up off the ground and they began to follow Featherstone. Blueberry was in front whilst Redbrick was at the back. Redbrick stopped for a second and muttered to himself.

"So much for a romantic evening!" then the gnomes continued to follow Featherstone across the garden to where he and his wife stood.

Authors note: Well this is it! In the next chapter we meet Featherstone's wife! Thank you Kagnomehater4ever for giving me the name suggestion! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I will update soon! Please review! Thanks!
