"Seeds... yeah they seem pretty important. Have you ever gotten seeds form somewhere really far away?" His eyes grew round. "..Like Canada?" He flicked his tail back and forth excitedly.

Raspberry thought for a moment. "I don't think so. I've only been to the lake, beach and river. Well, and everything around them that I have to go through to get there. The fields and forests are always fun and full of seeds. Have you been to Can-a-duh?" She asked never haveing heard of the place.

Skittles shook his head. "Nope, never. I just heard someone talking about it one time. Something about mayonnaise and hockey?" He raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't matter though. ...So you've been to the beach? What was that like?" he asked excitedly.

Raspberry nodded. "It was very sandy and very hot. I didn't find any seeds there. I guess I knew that. Only aquatic plants grow there and deep in the water. Still, it was very pretty." She explained to Skittles with a smile.

"I've always wanted to go to the beach. But I'm not a very good swimmer." Skittles fidgeted as he looked at his paws. "ARe you a very good swimmer?"

"You know I don't think I am. At least I've never tried it. I guess then I really don't have a clue. It's not something that I have went out to do." Raspberry didn't really see the point. Her life was with seeds, dirt and plants. Swimming just didn't fit into that.

Skittles nodded. "I just haven't been able to learn. I spend too much time playing in the trees and ...well I don't know what else I do." He looked around at her garden again. "Do you need any help with anything? I have a lot of extra energy to put to good use."

Raspberry giggled. "Sure I can always use help. What would you like to help with? There is planting seeds, pulling weeds and watering. Nothing is too ripe to pick just yet. Though, the watermellons are getting close." Raspberry smiled as she looked over her watermellons. Some were rather large.

"Well..." Skittles took a moment to think. He didn't want to do something to ruin her beautiful garden. "Show me which ones are weeds and I'll pull them!"

Raspberry walked over to a patch of where pumpkins were growing. Right now they were only green vines growing out of the ground. Next to them were all kinds of green weeds. "Here we are. See these green plants with furry leaves? They are the weeds in my pumpkin patch. The vines are the starts of my pumpkins." She explained to him.

Skittles watched intently as she explained. "Alright. So only pull the furry ones. Not the vines. Got it!" He sat down and began pulling a few of the weeds, being careful not to disturb the vines.

Raspberry smiled. "that's right! You got it." While he was doing that the elder whent and got herself the watering can. She needed to fill it with water, which she did. The elder then came back and began to water the plants that Skittles were helping with.

"So how long have you been working on your garden?" Skittles asked as he continued to work. He pulled a few more weeds out then moved to another spot so she could water.

Raspberry looked at Skittles and thought. "Well, I guess you could say I have been working on it as long as I've been around here on the Island. Being that I'm a elder that could have been a long time." This was just her way of alluding how old she really was. She was and elder but then she had always been one.

Skittles nodded. "You think I could ever make a garden?" he laughed. "Hmm.. so what does it feel like to be an elder?"
