There is a cliff and below across from the Cliff is a waterfall. In between is a house that belongs to an old couple. Their names are ava and hodge. The backyard is full of fresh vegetables. His wife likes to spend time in her garden.
The attic
And the husband stays most of his time in his attic. A small rail road goes all the way around the ceiling. And a train that rides along the tracks all day. His pets,the flying squirrels love to go for a ride. In the middle of the attic is a floating big clock. He likes to work with herbs and make medicine.
The attic windows!!
But the best part is the ceiling windows open up to clear blue sky's or some days it's cloudy n rainy days. Hodge calls for his wife over the message comm. He pressed the button. "Do you want to dance." Hodge asked?
She answered yes!!
The fresh air blew through the attic. The big window in the ceiling opened. Hodge put on sweet music and held out his hand to take hers. They began to dance. They floated up through the window. Towards the clouds. Hodge and ava saw a big ship fly by. They floated down to the attic. Ava was sad. Hodge asked her what's wrong . Ava answered and said. I've wasted so many years. I couldn't give you children. " Now I love you. And expect noughing in return. We could adopt!?. Said hodge.
She shook her head n smiled sadly.
The next day
Hodge was on his way to the next town. Lightening strikes the pink and purple sky. He heard a thump. The ship was flying through the sky. A small dragon fell on his ship. She popped up and smiled big at him. The dragon transformed into a teenage girl. He was surprised! Hodge said softly....don't eat me please! The girl said in a strange electronic voice. My name is rain. Don't be scared. Sometimes we can transform. What your name? My name is hodge! I don't eat people,creatures,or aliens. Doesn't taste so good. I like fruit n veggies! Hodge and the girl talked all the way to the village. And all the way back home. Hodge thought for a moment and remembered what ava said. She wanted a child.
Hodge smiled big! He told rain to hang on tight. Its gonna be a bumpy ride! She climbed the robes and swinged in circles around the ship.
Hodge and rain returned home. Rain saw children playing in the waterfall. Rain joined. She splashed the water everywhere. Hodge told rain to come meet ava. Rain dripping wet and cold. The weather was warm. Ava was cooking dinner and realized a teenager. Wet n cold. Ava immediately grabbed a towel and wrapped around the girl.
Ava looked at hodge. Explain....
Hodge explained everything. Ava was full delight. She and rain got along great. They ate supper. And rain helped clean up dinner. It was calf liver,white rice and pea salad,buttered rolls. Yummy!!!!
Shower then bedtime!!!
Breakfast
Pancakes and bacon. Lots of syrup. Ava and rain talked among themselves. Hodge interrupted. I got go into town. You two need anything. Ava smile weakened hodge. Even till today. Ava thought for a moment. I think today me n rain will take the car. Were going to the library! Yayyyy said rain.
The library
Looking through the openings between the books. A boy smiled at her. Rain smiled back. My names john. My names rain. John stood there with a hand full of books. He showed her one book and said this ones my favorite. Its about the military. And the aliens attack. Course there's a romance. But all in all...its a good book. Said john. I don't read often but I do love too! Rain asked what's up towards stairs? John realized quick this is her first time here. That up there is the coffee shop. I'll buy if your thirsty. Its all coffee. Rain never had coffee before. The two headed up the stairs. We could've took the elevator. But a little exercise never hurts. John said n smiled. John handed rain her coffee. They took their first slip. She fell in love with coffee. And felling head over heels and for john. They left the library. Adventured out in the town. The way we travel is in bubbles. We stepped in a bubble and floated to the top of the building. Where a garden grew and a small crowd of people gathered together for a party.
We took a train to the beach. The sunset was setting. And john n rain chased each other and danced barefooted. The ocean waves rolled into one after the other. The ocean clear blue green. Rain collected seashells and some star fishes.
Rain realized it was getting late. John took her to her home. Rain n john hair blew in the breeze. Ava opened the front door. Realizing rain had a friend. And she was upset but those feelings withered away when she saw rain was in love. Hodge spoke in a deep voice but before he could finish. Ava told to hold on. John introduce himself. And rain pranced around happy next couple weeks. Rain n john were together every wakening moment. Ava n hodge danced in the attic. Magic lifting them up.parrots danced around them. Hodge and ava sat on the clouds watching the sunset. And the parrots fly in n out of the clouds.
Rain joined this time. Ava clapped her hands and a table appeared n chairs.the table n chairs sat on the clouds. Tea popped n appeared on the table. Treats like cookies n cakes with tea and coffee appeared on the table. Rain treated her self. So good. Yummy!!!
Music played in the background. And the sun went down. And the moon kissed our faces with welcoming light. Stars twinkled bright. Love filled the air. Colors of pink,blue,gold sprinkled through the sky. It was a wonderful night. The magical ships sailed through the sky. Rain heart was in love with kisses of rain dew!!! This is what love feels like. Green and blue burst of joy!!!
Rain n john sat on the edge of the cliff that looked over their house. John held his hand out. Will you dance with me!? Rain jumped up. Excited! Her first dance with a boy. The band pulled out their instruments n played their songs. Romantic song. Rain and john looked confused. They asked where the band come from. Johns eyes locked with rains eyes. And he slipped a mood ring on rains finger. He bowed down and took her hand. Will you make me the happiest man alive and be my bride? Rain clapped her hand over her mouth. She jumped up n down. Rain said yes and always n forever!!!
Its only been the summer. And fall has arrived. Colder months has settled. Rain was so happy n told ava. Ava told her congratulations!!! Ava called hodge over the phone. Hodge looked surprised. He voice sounded worried. He told ava ive got to talk to you. Rain didn't come from a orphanage. Ava said what you mean??? Hodge explained to ava about the truth of everything. Ava dropped the phone. She looked at rain. Ava didnt want to destroy the dreams of the young lovers. Rain n john kissed and said goodbye.
Hodge came home. Ava,hodge and rain looked at each other. Hodge looked at rain n said your father is here. Rains father walked in. He was handsome. And he was the king of the dragons. Which means rain is a princess. The king spoke as if he was mad. Ive been trying to find you. You will return with me. No reason to make a scene. Humans don't matter to me. You are a princess. And to be wedd a the dragon prince. Rain rebelled against this discussion. Rain argued with her dad for hours. Hodge and ava were scared. The dragons are known to burn their dinner before feasting. They didn't know what to do for rain. Rains mom rushed in. The queen dragon. She said stop. She does not have to marry a dragon. Her father stormed off. The queen dragon changed herself into dragon form. Rain hopped on her back. She looked at hodge n ava and spoke softly. We will be right back. I must let her choose her own path. The queen dragon flew into a cave. And there was a box that looked very old.
There was a compass. It grew fast and big. The discription on it was north and south. Both had a beautiful diamonds of dragon figures. West,east,south,north. Were seasons. As she walked over the north dragon. It snowed on her. East was leaves fall on her. West -fire. South wasraining and lightening over her. The dragon told rain to turn the compass clock clockwise. Her skin glowed and her bones popped. She became human. Her father that day disowned her. Her mother loved her so much. She helped set her free!!!
There was bells singing on a sunny day. Fall leaves had turned color. And a wedding happening right now! Hodge n ava and many others danced under the umbrellas. The waterfall glisten. And the children played. The band played the instruments. The attic will be alive many years to come!!
John n rain danced on their wedding day!!! And lived happily ever after!!! Two years later. Rain was in the attic. Spraying the plants. John chased little sunshine. Their daughter with the biggest bright smiles. With giggles that last forever. Sunshine jumped into rains arms. And john embraced rain n sunshine!!!
