Sci Fi & Fantasy / The Rainbow Stone 2

~ Robert

I was working in the park in New Orleans. I’ve been helping the Environmental Committee with caring for the plants. I touch the plant and it grows or comes back to life. I’m very well respected here. I was just finishing up a sapling grow into a willow tree near the lake. Then a bird came on my shoulder. “ Hello friend.” I said petting it. It chirped and flew away. I smiled and sat beneath the tree. Then I saw the Mayor come up to me. I stood up and looked at him.

“ Well Robert you’ve done a fine job here.” he said in a cheerful voice.

“ Thank you sir.” he smiled and went to my side looking at the lake.

“ Do you still want a family Robert?”

“ Sir?”

“ Do you still want a family because I found the perfect people.”

“ No thank you sir. Even thought I wished it when I was little I don’t know if I still want one. I’m perfectly happy out here with the birds and the other animals out here. Besides I have a family that at least feeds me every night.” I said. He looked at me and smiled.

“ Okay I won’t force you. You can stay out here in nature. However my offer will remain strong until you get married.”

“ Yes sir.” then he left. I touched the green leaf pendent that the Mayor told me I’ve had since birth. I sighed. Then the bird came back to me. I took out a berry and gave it to it. It took it and left. I sat back down again and a chipmunk came to me and sat in my lap. I began to pet it and smiled. “ Chip what is having a family like?” I asked it. It looked up at me and cocked it’s head and wiggled it’s nose. “ Yeah right.” I said. I sighed and looked at the clouds. Chip climbed up my shoulder and up to my head. I pet him and he put his hands on my fingers. Then climbed down to the ground turned to me and wiggled it nose then left. I sighed and fell asleep. Felling the wind go through my hair.

Lily ~

I was walking through a broken down neighborhood of San Francisco. I was waiting for the neighborhood kids to come out and play. “ LILY!” called a little girl.

“ Hi there Natasha.”

“ Are you going to give us rides today?”

“ Yep.” I made a sphere of air and got on it. Then I put Natasha on my lap and we went around the neighborhood. We stopped at her house for breakfast. Her mother was really nice to me and always allowed me to stay with her and her family during the winter. Natasha and I ate and went back outside. We saw other kids waiting for us. I gave them all rides then we all went to the park.

“ Auntie Lily tell us a story?” said one of the younger kids. Everyone agreed.
“ Okay. What do you want to hear?” I asked.

“ Where you got that pretty pendent.” said a young boy. I looked at the white cloud pendent. “ Well it’s really weird. People have been telling me since birth. So really I don’t know where I got it.” I said. The kids looked at it. I took the pendent off and put it to the sun. It glittered in the light. I smiled. This is the only thing I have in the world. Then Natasha pulled on my pant leg. I look down and smiled. I put the pendent around my neck and smiled. The children and I continued to play outside. Now and then stopping for a rest talking laughing playing. However I couldn’t help but think about the pendent. Where is it from?
