Amando bring a lantern with him..he sends that lantern with hope that his wish will cam true..\
i wish for money!!
he was giggling in pleasure..
i wish it is going to come true..

Wess and Christopher walk in holding their lanterns. Wess sees Amando, he walks over to him. "Hey Amando, you haven't met my little brother," Wess says. "Christopher, this is Amando," Wess says. "Hi Mr. Amando!" Christopher says. Wess begins to think of his wish. I wish I had enough money to buy Chris a barn for his lamb. Wess thinks. I wish I could get that lamb I wanted! Chris thought as well. Wess and Christopher went over to the stand and got a candle for their lantern and one match each. They released it into the sea.

Ronan yawned. He decided to attend a festival with a little broken lantern he somewhat thrashed by accident. He lights it and lets it float above the water, only to have it sink halfway. He holds his breath and sighed. Not many people have gathered yet, but perhaps pushing his little lantern out to the sea will bring him some luck.

"I wish for either some money for food...or something terribly delicious for dinner tonight."

Genna came to the beach to attend the firefly festival. She saw some people she knew. " Hey guys" Genna childishly waved. She ran closer to the water and saw some of her friends. She had one lantern in one hand and the other hand had nothing.

Genna thought of what to wish, Soon she got something. "I wish I had a bracelet. Those things are pretty." Genna wished in her head. She kept failing in the digging proccess in the mines and some of her friends were lucky. She let go of her lantern into the ocean and watched it swim away.

Natt walked along to the firefly festival. I wonder what I should wish for. I know! I wish for a bit more money...

Majestic and Crystal walked onto the beach. They were both holding lanterns for their wishes. Crystal saw some of her friends. "Hey guys!" Crystal said cheerfully waving. "Why must you always be cheerful when it comes to festivals?" Majestic muttered to Crystal. "Because all the excitement counts!" Crystal giggled. "Great..." Majestic mumbled.

They walked onto the beach and set their lanterns on the water. "I wish for a nice necklace." Crystal wished. Majestic didn't know what to wish for. She twisted her hair around her finger. "I wish for a moondrop flower." Majestic wished. Anice flower will do...Nothing big... Majestic pondered. The night sky was beautiful. The stars glittered in the sky. The fireflies let their nights over the water where the moon's reflection glintered. Majestic's dress was a carribean blue dress and a carribeam blue bow in her hair. Crystal wore a dark blue dress and a dark blue flower in her hair. Crystal always made sure they looked their best during a festival. "Strange how you always get the dresses ready on time...It usually takes a long time to make a nice dress in time for a festival." Majestic said. "Well I'm quick and making dresses. I've learned a few things from Shelly who lives here." Crystal said.

"Hey guys!" Genna waved. She didn't wear anything big. It was a white bow in her hair and a little white spahghetti strap dress.

Soon Katherine came in with a black t-shirt and brown shorts. "Hi sis." Katherine said to Genna. Katherine looked at her lantern. "Hmm, I wish for um some money. Not a lot though just like 10 G or something." Katherine wished. Genna giggled. "Your actually wishing for something! Good for you!" Genna said hugging katherine. After the hug katherine let go of her lantern in the water.
Genna hoped her wish was coming true. But Katherine didn't believe in wishes really.

"Hello Katherine." Majestic greeted. "You haven't met us but we heard of you. My name is Majetsic and this is my friend Crystal." she said. "Hello there." Crystal said. The fireflies flew around the beach. The lanterns glew in the water. "Isn't wishing just great?" Crystal giggled.

Chase stuffed one his hands in his pocket as he shuffled along to the FireFly Festival, holding a latern in his other hand. Everyone was excited about the festival, so he figured it was worth checking out. His hair fell in front of his eyes as the evening wind blew through the island. Seeing a crowd of people, he approached them, only knowing a handful of faces. He shifted his weight in uncomfortable silence.

I wish I had a little more money...

--


Arden had passed up dinner in order to come to the festival. She had scrambled at the last minute to find a latern to bring, and now she was arriving--a little bit late, but there nonetheless. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, and she had on one of her favorite dresses, a billowing white number that hit the middle of her thighs at its longst length. Seeing some of her friends gathered around, she waved, and then turned to face the ocean.

I wish I had some food... She thought, hearing her stomach grumble.

Katherine did a silent chuckle. "I haven't seen you because i like the night better. I'm a night person" Katherine explained. Genna rolled her eyes on how Katherine would always explain these things. "But anyways it's nice to meet you." Katherine said.
Genna looked at all the lanterns that were floating in the water. It was a beautiful site to see. She hoped everyone wishes will come true. Katherine flicked Genna for fun."What was that for?" Genna said rubbing the place where Katherine flicked. Katherine laughed.

Soon Chase and Arden came. "Arden, Chase! Hi!" Genna said waving.

"Night person?" Majestic wondered. "...Interesting..." Crystal pondered. Crystal saw Arden and someone else come. "Hello Arden!" Crystal called out. "This is my friend, Majestic." she said. "Hello Arden." Majestic said.

Wess watched as two new people came in. A girl and a boy. Wess remembered seeing the girl two days ago, he waved to them both. He notices Genna and Katherine, he pulls Christopher along with him over to them. "Hey Genna and Katherine, long time no see," Wess says. "Oh Chris, this is Genna's older sister, Katherine," Wess says. "Hi Katherine," Christopher says timidly, he walks around Wess over to Genna. "Hey Genna!" he says.

Shane walked onto the beach carrying a lantern to set off into the ocean. Firefly festival firefly festival firefly festival~ He chanted as he walked back and forth. He set it on the sand and closed his eyes. Hm... What I want? All I want is to have a better relationship with the people here. He then pushed the lantern into the ocean, watching all the other lanterns float together.


--------------------------

Aiyo rushed onto the beach with her hand-made lantern. It wasn't so stable but she took a lot of effort to make it. Taking a deep breath she clasped her hands, closed her eyes and wished with her all might. Some money would be nice... She hasn't been doing well in mining, fishing, digging and it has been effecting her money deposit. Aiyo carefully placed her lantern into the ocean, the tide carrying it away. Looking at the ocean she smiled. It was so pretty.

Arden smiled softly at the people who had greeted her. "Hi, everyone," she said, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear. "It's a good night for a festival, huh?" She gripped the handle of her latern a little tighter as she looked at the boy with an even younger child in tow. "Hi," she said. "You're Wess, right?" She smiled at the younger boy.

"Yes, I'm Wess, this is my younger brother Christopher," Wess says smiling. He thought he knew this girl, he thought she lived in Forget-Me-Not-Valley too, but he wasn't sure. "Hey, are you Arden?" Wess asks. Christopher runs over with the newly made friends he found two days ago, he began to play with them. This time, they were making little boats out of paper one of the parents supplied for the children. Christopher watched the girl, and he understood how to do it. He copied how she did it exactly, making a semi-perfect paper boat.

More people came which was fantastic. "Hey Aiyo and Shane!" Genna said waving. She looked at Wess and Chris. "Hello!" Genna greeted.
Katherine looked at everyone with a blank face. "Erhm Genna? How do you know all these people?" Katherine whispered. Genna giggled. "It's because I like to meet people." Genna whispered back.

Arden nodded. "Yep," she said. "That's me." She grinned. "My reputation precedes me, then." She licked her lips, which were sore and chapped from...well, lack of care, really. She made a mental note to pick up some lip balm on her way back home. "I'm from Forget-Me-Not, but I heard this was a pretty cool festival. I really wanted to see it. So I'm a long way from home," she smiled again.
