 Wow, her collection of plants had surely grown since the first time she came home to her little cave with them. She was starting to get so many different kinds of plants, both underwater and above water plants, that she was needing to get a few supplies to help organize them better. Perhaps some pots for the ones above water? That way she could place them on the rocky wall in her cave.
As she traveled to the first store in town, she began to have trouble moving around with so many other phonies, constantly being accidentally bumped into or bumping into others. On more than one occasion she had to correct which way she was going just because of accidentally bumping into another phony. It took a while for her to get to the shop, letting out a sigh of relief as she came to realize there wasn't too many other phonies in this shop. She wasn't too great around others, especially since she was shy and a clumsy phony on land.

Crooner was also at the store, but not for himself. He buzzed from aisle to aisle of the gardening store, gazing at pots and wondering which one she would like better. Crooner had a crush, and what better way to show one's affection than with flowers?
He picked up a small, square, green one and turned it over and over in his hooves. What would be put in this? Perhaps an aloe plant? Or a low cactus? Who gives a cactus as a gift?
He sighed and put it back down, going on his way and singing to himself.
"Come fly away, ooo come fly with me..."

As she began to look for stuff for her plants back home, she began to look them all over, begin careful wherever she went. She could easily knock something over if she was not looking, and that would be bad. After all, she had a tail that could knock into a lot of stuff.
Eventually Holly found a pot she was interested in, about to reach for it to check it out more when she came to a realization. She couldn't grab it without knocking all the other pots down. How was she going to shop here if just reaching for something could possibly cause a mess?

He was be-bopping along to the tune in his head, and almost tripped head over hooves on a young filly at his feet. He steadied himself with his wings, and looked down to give the kid what for, when he realized that she didn't have legs.
Well, she had legs, just..only two of them. The other two were replaced with a fishy tail.
"Whoa there cat, watch out! I coulda cold clocked ya!" He said.

She had not been expecting someone to come along and almost trip over her while she observed the pot near the bottom of the shelves, giving of a small squeal of shock as she tried to get out of the way, almost knocking the pots over.
"So sorry! So so sorry! I... I didn't know you were there," Holly looked away shyly, looking at the pot she wanted to observe. How could she check it out when she couldn't grab it without knocking stuff over with her tail or being almost trampled over?

Crooner had to laugh at her response. "You didn't see me huh? I wouldn'ta thought that a kid could miss me!" He was often not seen by grown phonies due to his Flutter size. But most of the time, he didn't have a problem with kids seeing him
"You looking for something specific kid?" he asked.

"I was looking at something so I couldn't see you," she admitted, a blush showing on her green cheeks as she looked away again. He was small kind of small, but that really didn't matter since she hadn't even been looking in the direction of him to begin with.
"Huh?" She looked up at him at his question. Should she tell him her issue? ", Well... I was wanting this flower pot and a few other items I have yet to find, but I can't grab it due to... umm... my tail getting in the way and not being used to this device," she then showed him the pot she was talking about, followed by her unique merphony tail and the device helping her get around.

Her embarrassment made him feel bad about laughing. His eyes wandered over her fish tail. Life must be hard, outside of the water anyway. He sympathized with her; before his wings got big enough to carry him around, Crooner was often stuck on the ground, too small to reach anything. He reached out and patted her on the head.
"I see your predicament! How's about I help ya out?" He gave her a bright smile. "Free of charge an' everythin'! Classic Crooner's the name; what's yours doll?"

Her eyes widened when he offered to help her, and free of charge as well? She had been to a few places to shop before, but he had to be the first to offer to help her! ", Uhhh... sure! I am trying to get gardening supplies for my plants. Oh! And my name is Holly Mistletide."

"Nice to meecha Holly. Mind if I call you Holly? Full name just sounds so formal ya know? Nah, you don't mind." He prattled on, not giving her a chance to answer.
"So you got an underwater garden, or one above ground?" he asked, getting a small basket to put in the crook of his leg.

"Yes you may, but you could also call me Mistle or even Tide," she began to follow in cautiously ", Both underwater and on land actually. Are you going to get the flower pot I was looking at after you get that basket ready?"

"Oh right! I had completely forgotten!" He prodded himself in the side of the head. "Mind's a little slippery ya know? Lemme just get you that." He flitted his way up to the pot, gathering it carefully in his hooves and bringing it back down to her eye level. "This one, right?"

Giving him a nod and a smile when he showed her the pot, she was starting to see how helpful having him help her would be ", Yes, and thank you for your help Crooner. I would still be trying to figure out how to get it without you."

"No problem little doll! Everyone needs a little kindness every now and again." He said matter of factly. "Now, what do we need to get next?"VerityHattress Do you want to do a post with Holly realizing kindness now and then call it good? Or would you like to finish out the shopping trip? Either way is fine with me smile
