Chapter 3// Bassie's Garden

Instructions

Sprout had heard and ran over “ What do you mean? Wasn’t she at the museum?” Bassie asks “ I don't know, I've looked everywhere in the museum, she isn't there and even Tisha said she hasn't seen her!” He panted Bassie glanced over at the museum “ Are you sure she isn't in there? If she isn't she's … maybe looking for fossils?” Bassie mumbled, trying to calm him down “ She would've told me … she always does!?” Sprout stayed silent “ She might be out somewhere.. Just don't worry” Sprout said Astro wiped his face and walked away, it was sunset and it was getting dark “ I should go now” Sprout stated “ and.. Be careful” He added on “ I know” Bassie replied, waving at him She entered her house Something felt off, as if she was being watched A shiver went down her spine and she turned around as if she heard someone's footsteps She wiped her face, trying to convince herself its just random noises She sat down on her bed then lied down, staring at the ceiling She always tried forgetting about GardenView but it would always haunt her, The same image popped up into her head again and again she drifted into sleep It was a hallway with a fence around it, Cocoa was standing at the edge, scared. Bassie lifted her arm and struck Cocoa Bassie woke up, panting The same dream again… It was morning but she was still tired but she had to stay at the garden She got ready and headed for the door It was pretty cold outside but she headed out with her usual clothes She was pretty late to open the gate After she almost reached the garden she saw Sprout waiting at the gate Isn’t he supposed to be at the bakery..? She ran to him “Sprout! W-What are you doing here? “ Cosmo said he was busy today.. So yeah” he explained Sprout had just said that because he won't admit that he was worried something had happened He turned to her “ Are you.. Ok?” He asks Her eyes widened “ O-Oh I’m fine j-just a bit cold i guess” She replied He pulled his scarf and wrapped it around her “ You can borrow this” He smiled “ W-What.. Are.. Are you sure?” She mumbles, flustered “ Yeah im used to the cold” She grabs the scarf, it helped warm her and she slightly smiled “T-Thank you” She turns to him, who was lightly shaking And walked to open the gate to let people in After 30 minutes no one came, most likely because of the cold It was late may, there should be warmer weather , that just meant she had to close the garden for the rest of the year They were both sitting on a bench Bassie had her arms crossed,still closed and Sprout had his arms on the back of the bench She began rubbing her arms to warm up Sprout turned to her “ Uhm.. you could come to the bakery.. I could cook up something for ya” She raised her head to look at him “ No one's coming anyways.. I might just go get some better clothes then I’ll meet you there” He got up “ I’ll beat ya there” and began walked away She stayed sitting for a bit a footstep was heard She jerked her head No one She carefully walked into her house to get dressed A coat, the same dress under and Sprout’s scarf When she arrived the bakery Sprout was inside wiping tables She gently opened the door, she had never been in here It had a light red theme with a few plants here and there “ Oh.. its pretty in here” She said as she removed her coat She takes a glance at the menu “ Whatcha want?” Sprout asked Bassie thought for a moment “ I'll take a chocolate.. Glazed donut” “ Sprinkles?” “Sure.. but not much” she mumbled Suddenly rain began pouring down “ oh my..” She looked at her coat, which didn't have a hoodie.. Though she wouldn't mind the rain watering her flowers. She relaxed at the thought of not watering her garden, it took a lot of energy to water it all She looked at a clock that was on top of the doorway It was only 11AM, the rain should stop soon Sprout looked at Bassie “ I have an umbrella if the rain doesn't stop so don't worry” He says while handing the donut to her “ T-Thank you” “Yep!” The room flashed with lighting and the lights flickered Bassie flinched while looking back at the storm Sprout left the kitchen and sat next to Bassie “ Bad storm hm?” He said She was brushing her handles and nodded Sprout rested his head on the back of the seat,wondering how Cosmo’s doing “ Have you heard anything about Shelly yet..?” He asks ________-END OF DAH CHAPTER_______
