In a brightly lit atmosphere of orange, yellow and red dancing leaves in the wind. You can hear a sad chirp of a kittom trying to clean up their backyard. Mind you this was not their choice to do for a chore but mom asked her to help out so she was sent outside. Every time they get 1 corner cleaned up the wind picks up and the leaves start dancing again away from those white branches.

The kittom who is usually extremely happy sighs in disbelief of never being able to finish the chore.

‘It might be faster for me to just wind the leaves away’ she thought to herself and then her eyes lit up with an idea.

She remembered that mom had a fireplace bellows she quickly ran inside to grab it. She had forgotten it was a two-kittom sort of job though. It was huge, she can barely move it. She looked around for her other sibling Yua to try and carry this outside. She finally found her on the couch eating manaberry bonbons.

“Yua what are you doing? Am pretty sure mom asked you to clean up the kitchen?” Yua lazily points to the. It was glowing so brightly from the light coming inside the open window. The kitchen, it was so shiny you can see your horns on the surface of the counter.

“How did you… anyway, I need your help you cleaning master” She quickly nabs her as she tries to eat another manaberry bonbon. She grabs her so quickly that the box of bonbons twirls in the air and somehow neatly falls on the table and the lid gently closes them for future yums.

“Suvi! What in the Mana Gods are you doing, I was eating those” grumpily proclaimed Yua as she was trying to grab the box but Suvi was much too fast for her to be able to nab a few.

“What exactly do you need my help on?” asked Yua looking at where they were going.

“I need your help carrying the fireplace bellows outside” Mentioned Suvi as they got to the fireplace.

“And why exactly do we need to do that for?” asked Yua with a very confused face.

“I plan on blowing the leaves away instead of sweeping them away” proclaimed Suvi with a devious face.

“And how are you going to do this?” asked Yua with an extremely confused face because they can barely carry the thing.

And Suvi’s eyes gleamed like recently shined diamonds with a devious face as she explained her idea.

“Well you see, here is what we are going to do, we are going to move this outside, get a hose and tightly tie it to the tip of the bellow with a rope. We are going to put it on its side so that one of us can jump on it and the other uses the hose to direct the wind pressure to ‘blow’ the leaves away.”

“Oh wow, that is both genius and fun Suvi.” Yua’s eyes also start to gleam with the same intensity as a diamond.

They get all of the items and organize them outside as the sun shines and autumn-colored leaves just keep falling on everything.

“OK, ready Yua?” asked Suvi to Yua as she got on top of the bellows.

“Ready” as she put a paw up to show that she is indeed ready.

“Let’s do this” and Suvi gets ready for the air to start flowing. She plants her feet firmly on the ground ready for it to start.

Yua starts jumping up and down like a trampoline. Rather quickly actually. If you were not an elnin you would only be able to see a bellows moving. For the kitten to move that fast it must have a lot of energy to spend, it must have been those manaberry bonbons.

The wind coming out of the bellows has a force of its own. Kind of like water pressure on the hose it can very quickly get out of control. But Suvi was ready. She had a strong stance in place and started to point the hose towards the leaves. And with each sweep of the hose, poof each and everything leave moved upward and picked up by the natural wind and moved to another location…. The neighbor’s yard… who was also struggling to clean up. In the far distance, you can hear the “God Damnit”
