Thank you ^u^b

Mina recently came across these gorgeous pumpkins, sunflowers, orange roses, random orange, and light greenish-yellow grass-like leaves, some very delicious looking mushrooms, a few very faint anima crystals that she tried to sell for ink but no one would buy them... "sigh" breathed poor Mina as she's been pondering for the longest of times what to do with them. She could make a real nice crown for one of her dresses, or a Bellmoril themed mask,

"ooo that sounds like so much fun' Mina thought to herself as she stares at the sunflowers. But every time she tries to pick up the items to start she would get bored and walk away from the project. She felt bad... like one of those people who buys crafts just to use but never get to the project for "reasons".

After some time has passed she accrued more items, little by little, from the time she went to visit the Academy, found some real nice looking sticks; while she was shopping she found more fall glowing pumpkins she just couldn't turn away from, It's no wonder she's become somewhat of a hoarder, they have filled up one whole room in the sweet little cottage she was renting while visiting Bellmoril... She was freaking out not sure what to do with all of these gorgeous accessories... now there are so many involved that it has definitely overwhelmed her.

She called her friend Nisha to try and get some ideas. Nisha immediately with a glow on her eye, yelling at the top of her lungs

"DON'T DO A THING, I'LL BE THERE IN 2 DAYS."

The communicator is slammed down. Mina's ears were ringing for a while after that.

"Nisha is very good with plants she might try to make some nice floral arrangements and we can disburse them across the cottage."

Mina thought to herself. Mina made a sour face thinking to herself ...

"OR, Mina side eyes to her thoughts.... or she might want me to plant those pumpkins to make more pumpkin plants"

"EEEEEKKKK"

Screeched Mina as she hates the thought of gardening... she just likes collecting cute things and swimming.

"Yuck!" she said out loud,

"I don't want to garden, getting my paws dirty and my nice flirly dresses; NO WAY, AM NOT GARDENING"

She went on this self rampage dissing on gardening.

Two days later, Mina was a nervous wreck not knowing what Nisha had planned. Two loud bangs on the door. Mina jumped up to the door and in self-defense yelled out

"I AM NOT GOING TO GARDEN" as she gently opened the door.

Nisha gave her the confused face, like where did that come from?

Nisha asked "What are you talking about? We are going to decorate this cute cottage silly."

With a sigh of relief, Mina embarrassed offered some nice lemon water and they started speaking about decorations and whatnots.

Nisha mentioned we should look at each room and see what kind of space we have available. They started in Mina's Room a very roommie room, not a lot of furniture just a nice cozy bed and some luggage for her dresses and travel gear and a gorgeous window where you can see the most marvelous orange leafed tree with whitebark and at the base of that tree some real nice red and orange mushrooms just glowing with fall aesthetics. You can even see the gentle breeze carrying orange, red, and burnt yellow leaves about.

"Bellmoril sure if beautiful, nothing like Faerindell though", said Nisha with her biased opinion as she lived in Faerindell, while mina quietly sits on her cozy bed.

"How about a nice entryway decoration, we can collect some more orange and red leaves and make a wreath to wrap around each door, plus if we add some nice scented plants they could add a nice aroma to the cottage" with a dazzled face Nisha mentioned to Mina.

Mina nodded and suggested to add pumpkins and sunflowers at the base of each door as a nice frame ender.

They both agreed and continued with ideas. Next came the living room. it was a nice big space with a small dining table and a large couch surrounding the chimney and of course the entryway to the cottage. Nisha had been pondering a few things about floral arrangements. Perhaps get a few of those orange roses and yellow-green grass with some pussy willows and a nice clear vase would go great on that dining table with the Orange Anima crystals scattered about. Nisha thought to herself as her eyes started glowing that pale yellow of hers. Mina got jealous 'cause she doesn't have any cute anima mutations like that she pouted and moved on to the next room where the mess was... the so-called guest bedroom was filled almost to the roof of anima crystals, leaves, mushrooms, sunflowers, random but very gorgeous grass, a few red berries she found at a farmer's market and for some reason hay...

Nisha glared at Mina "I can't believe you! Where am I supposed to sleep?"

Mina softly spoke "With me; my bed is nice and big enough for two" giving Nisha those big begging "am sorry" eyes.

"Well I, I can't even" stuttered Nisha confounded and what to do with so many items.

"Let's get started on those wreaths, start separating the items into big piles and throw away anything that is rotting" Glared Nisha.

Mina stiffed up and like a little soldier "Y-yes M'am"

Soon enough they were able to get it all separated, the sunflowers wherein one pile, anima crystals in another, the biggest pile was the pumpkins. Nisha uncertain what to do with so many pumpkins.... she sighed and yelled "WHAT THE HELL"

Quickly turned at Mina and said "start carving these and donating them to the Elnins near us am sure they would love some good pumpkin juice or pies... this is way too many pumpkins to be decorating with what the hell where you thinking"

Mina wasn't thinking she just liked the way they looked and smelled. Mina sighed and nodded, "I'll get right on that"

She put on her cute apron and started chopping at the pumpkins. Would have thought that she was good with a knife.

Without hesitating, she was out getting those pumpkins out to the 'nin with even cute little ornaments at the top all thanks to Nisha.

While Mina was out there was a Nisha Tornado putting everything together, first the dining room table gets those centerpieces in, and those crystals gently but precisely scattered about. Get a real nice wreath covering the chimney and all of the bedroom entries and like popery magic, the place smelled of cinnamon and apples, why apples not sure it just smelled like it.

And for the centerpiece of the whole cottage the door entry where Nisha made a very gorgeous teardrop like an accessory for the door with anima crystals hanging from it, allowing for that gentle orange glow of Fall to shine through and small tiny pumpkins with cute little mushrooms gently resting on the foliage.. that she made from hay.

Mina was walking back to the cottage when she saw the entryway she cried happy tears and she ran into the home and immediately smelled cinnamon. She was trying to find Nisha to thank her for all the hard work she had done but she was nowhere to be found then she remembered she had a guest bedroom now free of trinkets. She went into the guest bedroom and there she was the little Nisha Tornado knocked out resting from a hard day's work.
