On a nice, cool windy morning, a Sugar Glider named Wind was walking along a nice grassy plain. It was windy, and she was getting pulled and shoved my the violent winds. she spread out her wings and flew with awesome grace. She was master of the breeze, treacherous winds did not stop her! And of course, that's why her name is wind. She was flying, and found a small tan/orange looking thing while gliding tree from tree. She was concerned, thinking it was a fellow sugar glider. She swooped down to investigate. It was a small, baby squirrel. "Whats your name?" Wind said, having to scream to be heard against the breeze. "Pmmkn" The squirrel mumbled. "WHAT?!" Wins yelled as the storm picked up. "Pump-" The tiny squirrel tried to scream. But then, she got blown away. "Pump? Pump what? Pumpkin?" Wind yelled. She followed the currents She tiny squirrel opened her arms and flew right into Wind.
"Are you a sugar glider too?" Wind had asked Pumpkin. they had found themselves a nice hollow hole behind a rock to live in. "No. A flying Squirrel all the way from the Village of Cities." Pumpkin said. She was stuffing her face with berries. "Are you hungry?" Wind teased. "The trip was long. Remind me to never hitch hike on a boat." She joked. "How did you end up here in Shinerock?" Wind asked. She was always familiar with the maps of their island. She knew she was in Shinerock because of the shiny rocks underground. "I guess the storm threw me at that tree. I've been on the boat, then it overturned near that lake. I walked my way onto a tree.. THEN the wind blew me at the tree. I was knocked out until an hour before you found me.. I just stayed there, wishing I could die instead of suffer any more." She said. "I see.." Wind said. She had been sheltering her ever since she blew into Wind. they had both knocked into a tree. Pumpkin was in a coma for a week or so, and it was relieving for Wind to hear her speak. she was only awake for the day, so she was mute for most of the day. "You know, Fireflies show us the way to the land of HollowTown." Wind said. "How? What's HollowTown?" Pumpkin asked. "Wait a second... I GOT IT!" She said, taking a shard of sharp rock. HollowTown is the Sugar Glider paradise. It's where all the Sugar Gliders on their own go. It's beautiful, and the Lovebugs go there. They're cute little things that do MAGIC!" Wind said. "So. That's cool. What have you got? Is it an idea?" Pumpkin asked. "Your a flying squirrel! You look like a sugar glider, and if we cut your tail fur a little...!" Wind said. "Oh my stars! That's an awesome idea!!!" Pumpkin piped up. "We'll practice and prepare until the day when the moon is fullest. We'll journey and all. And then on the full moon, the Fireflies light the way for us. If you capture the twelfth firefly you see, then it'll blink rapidly when your in the right direction, and not as much in the wrong." Wind said. "Wow! That's awesome!" Pumpkin said. "We can start tomorrow. Then we'll be off!" She said enthusiastically.
It's today! My tail is shaved to perfection, I know my manners, Sugar Glider lore, how to properly fly, and everything!!! Pumpkin thought to herself. Everything was silent. They where in the uninhabited and clearly unsanitary town of HUMAN. That's where the humans all live. Pumpkin started frantically pointing at the first firefly she saw. They all counted. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.... Pumpkin thought. Wind grabbed a firefly. Pumpkin looked at her with big, illuminated eyes. the lights of the fireflies made everything mystically illuminated. Wind looked at the firefly and walked. then stopped. Then walked again. "Come on... It's not... Please?" Wind grumbled. The firefly was leading her no where. Pumpkin saw a pretty orange firefly and ran over to it. She held it, then it began twittering and twitching in front of her. It was hard to handle!! "Wind!! Wind!!" She screamed. Wind ran over to her. "How, how did you find the one?!" Wind asked. "Did we count wrong?" Pumpkin suggested. "Whatever! Follow it!" She ordered. They walked where the firefly told them to. Then, they walked right in a tree. The firefly stopped. Pumpkin pointed up. The firefly went crazy! they climbed the tree. The found themselves at a hole in the tree. They both sat in it, confused. the firefly landed on Wind's head, and they came CRASHING through the floor of the hole. they fell with a thud at the bottom. Lights flickered on and off, and they found themselves in wonderful HollowTown. Pumpkin looked at the Firefly. "Feu. Let us call you Feu." She said. The firefly sat atop her head, and they where finally home.
Sweet story, huh? Everyone of HollowTown will fall for Pumpkins disguise, but for how long? Thanks lex1poo for giving me Pumpkin and Wind, I hope you like them and their little back story.
