*Zephyr had been on his way back to his house when he had this urge to go to Sunnbay Orchard. It was weird. Overall it was just a weird day. The sun was just starting to edge toward the horizon, but daytime was still evident, and sunlight streamed into the huge orchard. Zephyr looked up at all the apple trees that surrounded him. Quietly he sat down at the bottom of one, tilted his head back against the tree and closed his eyes.*

*Shina had climbed one of the apple trees which 'happened' to be the one Zephyr was under. When she saw Zephyr approach she grinned and decided to surprise him. She poked her head down, looking at him upsidedown.* Hello there! What's up? *She said loudly when she was close enough.*

*Zephyr's green eyes pop wide open in surprise. He lets out a short shout in shock.* AH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? *He gasps as he thinks.I'm being stalked by a creepy, pretty lady!! Quickly he scrambles a little bit away from Shina, trying to figure out where she came from.*

*Shina got down from the tree, holding a sack full of apples.* Finding apples for the kitchen. But it looks like I found you too! *She grinned. Her gray eyes sparkling.* Zephyr Cyril, right?

Uh, yes. That would be me. *Zephyr runs his paw though his head fur.* And you are Shina, right?

*Shina nodded.* Yup *She said cheerfully.* I'm making apple butter for the cook today. Just like I suggested. My mom taught me the best apple butter recipe. I've always had a knack for cooking. Like my mom said I made the best scones in the forest. Fancy! All I did was add a little extra cinnamon and sugar. That's the trick. I got the recipe from some hares in the mountains.

Hares in the mountains? You don't say... *Zephyr gulps, not knowing what to say, he decides he might as well try to be smooth.* I'm sure you are a very excellent cook! *Zephyr grins as he moves a little bit to the left, just slighty away from Shina.*

*Shina grins* Why thank you! *she is to pleased to notice the movement.* Well, I've got to carry these to the kitchen. *She pretends to struggle with the bag of apples, as if it's too heavy to carry.*

*Zephyr bites back a groan. What is it with me and helping weird people today?? He thought as he stood up and went over to Shina.* Do you want me to help you with those? *Please don't say yes... please don't say yes....*

*Shina looks grateful.* Yes, please.
*Mika walked around the orchard when talking caught her attention. Was that Zephyr? She starts to walk up when she notices that he's not alone. It was Shina.* The flirt. *She says to herself as she watches Shina struggle with the apples.* She was carrying it as if it was nothing before. *Mika backed away hiding behind a tree, watching them interact. She thought about rescuing Zephyr by showing herself.* Why should I? *she thought bitterly.* He's probably enjoying himself. *Why did this seem to bother her? It was perfectly natural! And why should she care? She didn't like him!.*

*Zephyr takes the sack of apples from her and slings it across his shoulder and motions for Shina to show the way. He was not completely confinced that it had been that heavy, but heck, it was the nice thing to do for a 'damsel in distress'.* To the kitchen, then Shina!

*Shina looks back and catches a glimpes of Mika.* Hey, isn't that Mika? *She calls out to her.* Mika! Come walk to the kitchen with us!
*Mika takes a step back indicating her hesitation.*

*Mika? Why would Mika be out here...? Zephyr turns to the direction Shina was yelling at, hoping to see Mika.* Yo, Mika! You heard Sunshine, c'mon over! *Zephyr whispered to Shina.* I hope you don't mind me calling you Sunshine.

No I don't mind. It totally describes me! *she says cheerfully motioning to her dress.*
*Mika walks over quietly and takes her place on the other side of Shina. She looks down.* He already had a nickname for her? He works fast.

*Yeah, it totally descibes how you are so bright and shining you make me want to turn away... Zephyr thought without showing a smirk. He was really tired of girls today, and helping them. But heck, he'd do his best for this last little errand to be nice. Then a thought occured to him and he turned to face Mika.* Why are you walking?
