《Fireflys》Chapter 8

I woke up and looked around. What time is it?
"I'm kinda thirsty...should I get some water, or stay lazy?" I pondered.
I suddenly felt a tickle in my throat, and figured that I wouldn't be able to sleep with a tickle in my throat anyways.
I left my room and went down the stairs, into the kitchen.
After getting some water and chugging it down, I heard the basement door open and close.
Anne?
I looked out towards it, just in time to see Anne leave through the front door.
Alright..strange...
I shrugged it off and got some more water. While I was down here, I might as well get some snacks, right?
I grinned devilishly as I grabbed the last coco beetle chocolates out from the cabinet.
I shoved one in my mouth, and carried the rest up the stairs.
I got next to Sprigs room, and just as I passed it, I heard his voice.
"But what if I don't want that?" He said softly.
Huh?
I slowly opened his bedroom door, leaving the chocolates on the floor.
"don't want, what?" I asked.
He didn't really move. Is he even awake?
" forget about it.." he sighed "what were you talking about?"
He's definitely dreaming.. hm...is something upsetting him?
"Sprig...is there something that you need to say?"
"I-I...I don't know..." he mumbled.
I sighed and hopped up on his bed.
"Sprig..come on, I'm your sister.. you can talk to me.."
His eyes suddenly opened, and he sat up, looking down at me.
"Polly? What are you doing in here?" He asked confused.
"I went to get some water, and then you started talking in your sleep. You said 'what if I don't want that?', so I came in.. I thought you were awake though.."

"I'm fine. You can go back to sleep-"
I sighed and nodded. He clearly doesn't want to talk about it...I'll just force him to in the morning. "Alright..but we're all here for you."
"Alright, Polly..." He gave a weak smile.
Yup. Definitely reassuring.
I hopped off his bed, and looked at him one last time before exiting his room.
Hehehe...I think I know what's going on... I chuckled quietly to myself, and picked up the chocolates.
Ahhhh, young love!
.
..
I can't wait to rub this in their faces.
"Chirp!" Bessie moved slightly, waking me up.
I yawned and stretched my arms up.
"Good morning Bessie." I chuckled.
I looked down, and saw a blanket on me...Sprigs blanket?
"What's this doing out here?" I questioned.
Did he come out here to give me his blanket?
"Hm.." I chuckled and smiled sweetly down at the blanket.
"Ahem" someone cleared their throat. I stood and looked over at the front of the barn, seeing Polly.
"Oh, hey Pol." I wrapped the blanket into a ball, and shoved it under my arm.
"Hey Anneeeee" she grinned.
I raised my brow, slightly scared.
"...why are you-?"
"I WANT GIRL TIME!!" She jumped.
"Wha-? But I thought you didn't like girl time??" I said confused.
"Well, I want to do things that we'll both enjoy." She smiled sweetly, which was unsettling of her.
But at the same time, girl time doesss sound fun..
"Alright girl, lets do it!" I chuckled.
We go back inside, and I run downstairs and grab one of the outfits that Hop Pop got for me. I put on a green shirt that went off one of my shoulders, and a yellow skirt. I also picked up my copper-filled purse, and put my hair into a bun.

"Anne! Let's goooo!" Polly said excitedly from the top of the stairs.
"Coming!" I ran up the stairs and picked her up. I saw Hop Pop and Sprig at the table.
"Where are you two off to?" Hop Pop asked.
"Girl time!" Me and Polly said in unison.
"Also, we're taking Bessie." I added.
"Alright." Hop Pop laughed.
"Girl time again?" Sprig chuckled.
"Yup!" I stuck out my tongue playfully
We walked over to the door.
"Oh!" I turned around and looked at Sprig, "thanks for the blanket last night!" I smiled, and left the house.
Anne and Polly left, and I felt my face turn red.
"You gave her a blanket, huh?" Hop Pop smirked
"Y-Yeah, I found her sleeping in the barn with Bessie..I didn't want her to get cold-"
"No need to explain yourself, boy." He chuckled and stood up, continuing to chuckle as he walked to his study.
