A wispy thing, perhaps it could be called a gown, catches in the breeze and extends its diaphanous green gauze behind her. The flowers that blossom from her hair wave their petals to greet the morning. She bends at the waist, cupping her hands in the cool bubbling brook and drinks her fill, rising with a peaceful and serene smile as she surveys her grove.<br><br><strong>"Are any Happy Little Spirits here?"</strong> She calls out, hands spread wide in welcome, a patient smile softly resting on her lips.

Sometimes, it floated on mischevious wild currents perfumed with the scent of wild flowers and that made it happy. Sometimes, it ate of the fruit or berries which were all over the grove and that made it happy. Sometimes, it nuzzled the cheek of the Spirit of Blossoms and that made it happy, too! It didn't, in fact, remember a time when it wasn't happy. Though it didn't remember much of anything at all. But now, the Spirit Blossom was calling to it, so it flew to her, nuzzling her cheek, as usual, before happily resting on her outstretched hand.

This is not the sort of question that would bother a happy little spirit! <br><br><strong>"Please, won't you have some?"</strong> She offers, holding the berries to their little spirit mouth. <strong>"It makes me so happy to see you enjoying the blossoms of the fruit trees!"</strong>

The disturbance caused great, shiny scaled fish to rise from the clear depths. They investigated the source of the vibrations with their mouths, poking their massive heads out of the water. Happy laughed, delighted at their appearance as they darted out of their reach. The fish expressed no disappointment at the disturbance being yet another spirit rather than a potential meal. In fact, they seemed eager for her to stir the water again. It was a game, after all, one they’d played together since the fish emerged from their eggs and since Happy Spirits came from. Whatever. That didn’t matter. What mattered was that they’d nearly been caught by a rather sneaky pink fish. <br><br>Happy blew a raspberry at the sneaky one before a familiar voice drew its attention from the game. Sweet Spirit of Blossoms wished to play a game! <br><br>The temporary distraction gave the fish the upper hand, and Happy found themselves doused in cold water. No disappointment shadowed its face, though, as it stared at its reflection in the water. The tiny droplets gleamed in the sunlight, making it look as if tiny stars clung to their form. Eager to show off, it darted to where Spirit of Blossoms offered berries to another. It rose to eye level with the beautiful woman and shimmied like how a bird might during a courtship, hoping to earn words of praise or admiration.&nbsp; <br>

Can it be? Why yes! A happy little spirit is coming up from the babbling brook! The Spirit of Blossoms laugh, a musical sound like crystal bells as she sees the little spirit coming towards her. <br><br><strong>"Why hello my friend!"</strong> She coos at the little spirit. <strong>"How are the fish? Did you play your game with them?"</strong> She lets out a joyous little laugh again as she sees the confirmation in the wiggling little orb. <strong>"You are doing such a good thing for them! You are not only bringing happiness, but you are teaching them to dart quickly and chase moving things, this will keep them fed when they swim downstream."</strong> The spirit leans in, her hands full, one of a spirit and the other of berries, she plants a sweet kiss on the wet spirit's face. <strong>"What a treasure you are! I am so pleased you came to me!"</strong> <br><br>She sighs as she glances between the two as if she cannot decide which one she loves more, the big smile on her face clear she adores them both. <strong>"Oh what splendid little things you are!"</strong> She gushes, settling down on the soft mossy ground near the riverbed to enjoy the day. <br><br>

Now was the time. Now was the place to strike. <em>Sneak sneak sneak</em>. Around the other tree's, zipping and flitting between the foliage with nary a rustle.<em> Sneak sneak sneak</em>. Through the tall grass and dipping into the pond, only the slightest "bloop" with her entry and exit from the water. She was too stealthy, even the curious fishes didn't see her. Blooping out the other side she sneaked some more. <em>Sneak sneak sneak</em><br><br>Whirring through the grass again she followed along the brook that led her to the Spirit, going through some interesting flowers. She settled down near, certain, ever so certain her sneakyness was the sneakiest and wriggled in anticipation. When the moment was right, she pushed up and spun around the Spirit's head "Surprise!" came the high pitched squealing voice. <br><br>Her laughter was rich, and seemingly non stop as she fell out of the air, rolling around the grass at the great fun she'd just had.

She doesn't seem to have noticed at all that another spirit is happily resting in the flowers of her hair. How often have happy little spirits happily rested there and the lovely lady of blossoms does not notice? Who can say? Certainly not her!<br><br>However before she can speak an impish little spirit tumbles down yelling 'Surprise!'<br><br>It is quite an effective prank! The Spirit of Blossoms lets out a surprised shriek that turns into a joyful laugh almost instantly! She was completely caught off guard, and only barely managed to avoid tossing up the berries in her right hand, or the happy little spirit in her left in shock!<br><br>What does happen, however, is that a sunflower begins to grow under the little prankster, bringing the giggling rolling spirit up to eye level with the resting woman. She tries to make a stern face, but cannot, she is too overjoyed. <strong>"You little imp!"</strong> She laughs, <strong>"What a splendid trick! You almost made me spill my berries!"</strong> She cannot help herself, it is too cute and lovely to be mad. <strong>"You owe me a nuzzle now."</strong> She insists, the flower bringing the little spirit up to her face she presents her nose for nuzzling so that the little spirit can atone for their lovely prank! <br><br>She still has not noticed that a fourth spirit rests happily in the flowers in her hair!

Something like no-happy. This made the happy spirit... happy still, but not as much happy. But then, the Spirit of Blossoms was happy again and the happy spirit let out a giggle when it was nuzzled in turn. It hadn't expected that. A surprise! Maybe it liked surprises? It like this surprise. And the next! The most delicious-looking berries. Eating berries made him happy. And it made the Spirit of the Blossoms happy, too, which made the happy spirit happy, too. Happy again. Double happy! The happy spirit had just learned that there were many kinds of happy and that made it even more happy. Triple happy! It might be just the most happy spirit in the grove! But that made it less happy. Only double happy. Every spirit should be as happy as it was. And then, maybe it would be triple happy again. Maybe even.... quadruple happy! It's mind reeling with its potential happiness, the happy spirit took one of the few remaining berries that it hadn't devoured as it thought so very hard and flew off in search of another spirit to share its happiness with.

As she does, rings of bright pink flowers bloom on quickly growing vines, forming into circles for the little spirit to happily fly through as they put on the show! She cheers again as the happy little thing flies right past her! <br><br><strong>"Oh my precious little spirits."</strong> The lady of blossoms says, leaning up against a tree trunk, sitting on the soft moss that grows in its shadow by the side of the brook. <strong>"You make me so happy. I hope you all will continue to come and visit me, even when - "</strong> she pauses for a moment, looking aside, <strong>"Well, always."</strong> She concludes with a relaxed smile, watching her beautiful little orbs bounce and play, and taking the joy of those who are close with her as she lifts a hand, pressing the soft pad of her finger right where a little nose would be on each one in turn. <strong>"Boop, boop, boop."</strong> She giggles. Why does it amuse the Spirit of Blossoms so much to do this? You do not know! But it does!

It watched as one of the spirits played its delightful prank, then observed a few of the Spirit of Blossoms' berries escape her grasp and fall to the ground.<br><br>This was most intriguing to the spirit. Why did most things seem to like down? Except perhaps birds and certain insects, which seemed to like up? The spirit decided that it would try down for the day, screwing its eyes shut and concentrating as it tried to will itself to fall, much like the berries did. And thus the spirit did fall, giving a little bounce as it landed on the ground.<br><br>No wonder things liked down! Falling could be such fun! And things looked so different from this perspective, the Spirit of Blossoms looming like a giant, every blade of grass like a tree unto itself. And the ants! The spirit's attention became fixed on a column of ants, marching with their bounty back to their hill. Struck with an idea, it bounced its way over to one of the fallen berries, and nudged it towards the ants. <br><br>Yes, down had been a good decision. But wait! There were boops?! <br><br>Well, perhaps the spirit could go up just high enough to collect a boop, before exploring the delights of down further.

Today is, in fact, the best day. Every day, indeed, is the best day. The sun was just right, and there was a refreshingly brisk breeze, and this happy spirit luxuriated in the rays of the giant and distant sky-fire. There was an awful lot of happy noises going on, however, and this caused the spirit to stir. Like draws to like, and it meandered its way over.<br><br>The spirit moves with no sense of urgency or understanding of time. After all, these things don't matter when you are this happy, and there was only ever going to be more happiness. Could such a thing as less happy possibly exist? Nope. There is no word for it, in&nbsp; fact!<br><br>A sudden squeal of what must be surprise-happiness comes up from the Spirit of Blossoms, causing the sun-loving spirit to giggle to itself. It comes up, approach languid and feline. There were many spirits who enjoyed giving physical affection to the Spirit of Blossoms, and the sun-lover is certainly one of them. In this spirit's case, it expresses its affection by rubbing up against the ankle/leg, and letting out a trilling noise that could only be generated from an experience of profound happiness.

It hadn't found even one spirit who wasn't happy. It sat back on the Spirit of Blossom's hand to ponder this. And, of course, pondering was hard work, so it ate the berry it happened to be carrying as it did so, having already forgotten why it was carrying a berry in the first place. To eat, maybe? Eating delicious berries did make it happy and this was a very delicious berry! And there were lots of other happy spirits around and they were happy, too! And that made the happy spirit happy as well.

The little spirit kept rolling and laughing, roll and laugh, until the Spirit's face was near hers. By that point however, she'd gotten quite a few of the sun flower seeds stuck to her body. She dutifully gave a nose nuzzle and then rolled her way off the flower, hovering in the air. <br><br>Berries were absconded with and spirits booped as she watched. An oversized tongue escaped her mouth and began sliding around her own face, mlerming here and there, pulling in each seed in turn and nommed on them thoughtfully. They were delicious after all, as was everything here. She listened to the Spirits words and mlermed some more, pulling in another seed for some nomming. So focused on her seeds she was, that her hovering became random, just floating in an uncontrolled lazy circle as she mlermed and nommed. It was a busy morning indeed.

The lady of blossoms squealed in delight as one rolled out from the flowers in her hair.<br><br><strong>"Why you precious thing how long were you there?"</strong> She laughed, extending a long finger to boop it, she leaned in and spoke gently. <strong>"No matter, you may <em>always </em>rest there, as long as you like! Boop!"</strong> Another boop and another boop were rewarded to the clever little thing! She beamed for joy as she saw the little happy thing nuzzling against her and another friendly little orb!<br><br>Her attention turned to another rising spirit and she did a bit of a double take. <strong>"Hello little friend. So peculiar to see you come from down. Normally you are up!"</strong> She glanced around her tucked in legs to see the ants feasting on a berry below. <strong>"Oh, were you feeding your friends? How kind of you! Have a boop!"</strong> And thus the happy spirit given to deep thoughts of up and down received their boop!<br><br>A third spirit floated gently down from the flowering loops that the Spirit of Blossoms had made for them to zip through, and this one made the lady look like she might weep tears of joy at its sweet question. <strong>"Oh my precious little thing."</strong> She spoke, touched by its attention. <strong>"I am happy, I am so very happy, and you little spirits have helped me to be happy. And I hope you will continue to come here and be happy with me, as long as the way is open!"</strong> She leans in and plants a sweet, soft, gentle kiss on the sensitive little spirit who asked such a kind question. But what a strange thing to say! The way has never been closed! <br><br>Her hands full of happy spirits once more, she turns her head and smiles down to see another rubbing against her ankle. <strong>"Oh hello little friend."</strong> Having no spare hands to greet them with boops, she inhales slowly and exhales gently, blowing air at a flower hanging above her head. Some petals ready to fall are blown loose, and they cascade over the lady and the spirits nearby like a gentle rain of pink blossoms, several falling near the happy spirit near her legs and rubbing against them as the petals float down, almost as though they are petting and loving the little spirit who strayed below, out of reach of boops and kisses.<br><br>The happy spirit who enjoyed the berries was not, however, and they would find a nuzzling nose approaching them even as they ate the berries, leaving the Spirit of Blossoms pulling back with a laugh and the juice of berries running down her nose as she nuzzled the happily eating spirit. She closed her eyes for a moment and, after a brief passing of time, a vine coiled down around her shoulder, juicy looking blackberries sprouting from it! More than enough to feed some happy little spirits, and maybe some ants too?<br><br>Finally she turned her attention to the crunching and slurping sound of the sneaky little spirit who had been rolling about so happily on the sunflower! The Spirit of Blossoms smiled sweetly at her. <strong>"Ah look at you, so clever you are! Will you bring me some seeds too? I am afraid I cannot move much!"</strong> She laughs as her hands are full and her body is occupied with spirits and flowers and vines <br><br>But she does not seem bothered at all by this! In fact nothing could make her happier than to rest under a tree on soft moss, toes dipping into the babbling brook nearby, happy little spirits on her hands and her ankles and floating about her in all ways, being booped and kissed and nuzzled and returning the love to her! What else could one desire in life? This is bliss! <br><br>

The Spirit of Blossoms was so good at boops! But it made her nose all sticky! But the happy spirit had an idea! It flew off, taking one of the new berries along for the ride, of course, to the sparkling brook at the Spirit of Blossoms's feet. There, it picked a single blade of grass and dipped it into the brook to collect a few drops. Then, flying carefully to avoid tipping its precious cargo, it returned to the Spirit of Blossoms, to sprinkle the drops onto her nose.

Where are they going? What are they doing? She watches with eager curiosity! Her eyes widen even further in joyful delight as she sees that it is bringing her water to was her nose with! She laughs and holds her nose high to make it easy to drop the little droplets of water on, then grins with thankful appreciation.<br><br><strong>"What a clever and thoughtful little spirit you are! If I had any greater thanks to give you than a colorful grove filled with flowers and berries and a safe and happy place for little spirits to be I would surely give it to you in gratitude and recognition, but alas, that is all I have to give!"</strong> She is clearly quite happy to have provided all she can to the little spirits.

Yeah, you!</em><br><hr><br><strong><em>"Are any Happy Little Spirits here?"</em></strong><br><br>The happy little spirit had not responded. It was busy being an egg and eggs did not talk. Its cheerful essence had been reshaped to be small enough to fit into the abandoned nest that was stuffed with fluffy bird feathers and tufts of soft kitten fur that had been shed. The little spirit had hoped that a bird might be enticed to come by and sit on it, but no such thing was happening. The lilting avians were chattering happily in a chorus of song, ignoring the spirit.<br><br>The happy little spirit was becoming a touch grumpy.<br><br><strong>"Hey!"</strong> it called out loudly, causing the birds to pause for just a second before they started their melodic whistling again. <strong>"I need someone to sit on me so I can hatch!"</strong> The little spirit so very badly wanted to pretend to hatch! Badly enough that it decided to break character and entice one of the other happy spirits to play with it.

Someone wanted... something? Maybe it could help? Would that make the someone happy? It liked making someones happy, it though. And everyone was happy eating delicious berries. So it picked up two from the Spirit of Blossom's vine and lazily flew over to where it had heard the voice from. There, it found a somewhat happy spirit all curled in what looked like the most comfortable bed one could find. Yawning again, the Happy spirit placed its two berries in the next, one for itself and one for the curled up one, for when they both woke up, then laid itself into the nest, all snuggled up against and over the smaller one.

Another little spirit had answered its call and now was snuggling in around the egg-spirit. The pressure was comforting. Relaxing. Peaceful.<br><br><strong>"...hey!"</strong> the spirit called out in a poor attempt to sound discontent. Instead, the little blue thing sounded quite satisfied. <strong>"That's not how a bird does it..."</strong> It was becoming drowsy. With another little spirit snuggled up cozily, the need to hatch didn't seem so important. <strong>"You're supposed to sit on me, not snuggle."</strong> The words might have been whiney, but the spirit made no effort to move away from the snuggle-spirit. Instead, its own shape extended <em>ever so slightly</em> so that it could connect with the friendly spirit more thoroughly. <strong>"Fine. You can be an egg, too. It is quite fun. Maybe someone will come along and hatch us,"</strong> the little spirit said with a happy sigh.

She'd gotten the summons from the Wise Old Elephants and babyphants and so many crazy things had happened that...she'd forgotten. She'd forgotten like a silly firehead and forgotten what the Spirit of Blossoms had asked of her. She'd bounced around when she heard the Spirit calling her for the food and knew, just knew knew in her fiery heart that she had to make good. <br><br>It had taken time, a tiny flamey ball of spirit didn't have things like hands like the Spirt to work with, but she managed. She'd gathered up four of the largest fallen banana leaves she could find. Lashing the stems together hand taken time and patience and she'd gotten a little whiny when it didn't work, but she'd persevered and finished. Humming, she'd put herself into the little harness like stems and pushed them along the ground until she'd reached her destination.<br><br>From there, it had taken a lot of shaking and shimmying and finding the right ones. Each time the leaves got a little heavier and a little harder to pull, but she filled them up to the tippy top and began pushing them towards the feast. Push Push Push. When she finally reached the Spirit of Blossoms she bounced up and down, growing brighter but not warmer, displaying her bounty. She'd fulfilled the Spirit's ask and brought seeds. So many tasty seeds. "Seeds!" she bounced up and down while proclaiming. Before making tiny little hops in a circle around the Spirit "Seeds! Seeds! Seeds!" with each little bounce chirping out her prize, giggling and bouncing in a circle around the Spirit. <br>
