#flowerland

This idea came from the man himself so I had to actualize it

Narrated by Sonya.

Narrator: I feel the warm breeze carrying the scent of flowers as I exit the Flowerland Station into the sunny street.

Narrator: It’s been more than ten years, and it looked a lot different from when I was going to school.

Narrator: The whole town had undergone renovation. There were no longer food stalls and wandering crowds lining the premises.

Narrator: Rows of decorated shops lined the modern streets, their glass panes reflected the hustling passersby.

Narrator: Never imagined after all these years I would be returning as a designer with my own brand.

Narrator: I’ve been negotiating a partnership with a clothing store in Flowerland through mail for the past several months.

Narrator: It was a business specializing in unique and quality designs.

Narrator: To an unaffiliated designer, it’s an excellent platform to launch a brand in Apple Federation.

Narrator: Today,I brought my designs from Ninir personally just to nail down the specifics.

Narrator: According to the address, I was looking for the Apple Apparel Group.

Narrator: They sounded impressive on paper, but I didn’t see any professional building or high-rise.

Sonya: Hello, would you mind pointing me to the Apple Apparel Group?

Girl: You mean Helz’s store? Follow the road and turn on the first street.

Narrator: The owner who kept in correspondence all this time was named Helz.

Narrator: I thank the girls and kept going. I heard them whispering behind me.

Girl A: Wow, there’s an air of sophistication around her!

Girl B: I love her outfit. I have to find out where to get it.

Girl A: And her red orange hair is both unique and down-to-earth.

Narrator: I checked out my reflection in the shop windows ahead.

Narrator: Who could have thought I hated my conspicuous red orange hair when I was young!

Narrator: The me back then was introverted, awkward, and I didn’t have friends since we kept moving due to my father’s business.

Narrator: It wasn’t until I moved to Flowerland when I was 13 and got to know Luna and Egg Tart.

Narrator: Without their encouragements and the win...

Narrator: I don’t think I would ever have the motivation to become a fashion designer, much less starting my own brand.

Choose either “Who are they?” or “Prizes?”

If “who,” ...

You: Who are Luna and Egg Tart?

Sonya: They were my schoolmates in Flowerland and my two best friends.

If “prizes,” ...

You: What was it that you won?

Sonya: It was a fashion design contest put on by the amusement park and the school. My design won the grand prize.

Narrator: The Apple Independence War started a few years after I moved back to Ninir again, and I lost touch with them.

Narrator: But my two years in Flowerland, especially at the amusement park where we had so much fun, remained clear in my mind.

Narrator: The sudden, drenching rainstorms in summer afternoons,

Narrator: ...the delightful rides on the carousel, the bright and colorful lights...

Narrator: And the two friends riding the carousel horses, laughing all the while.

Narrator: Will Luna and Egg Tart recognize me if they see me now?

Narrator: Other than business negotiations, I had another purpose for the trip.

Narrator: Not too long ago, I saw on Moments the amusement park in Flowerland planned to reopen.

Narrator: I moved up the schedule so I wouldn’t miss that.

Narrator: Other than revisiting a special spot, I guess I was hoping for something else, too.

When Luna and Egg Tart waved goodbye to me, they shouted, “We’ll meet again!”

Narrator: It has stayed with me all this time.
