In the Garden

Olivia had troubles explaining her plans to Penny. She wanted go to the royal garden, but Penny had never been there before, and Olivia only ventured once to the garden. Olivia did her best to recall the details. They landed in the apple orchards. "No, this isn't where I wanted to be." Olivia says. Penny caws. "Yes, the apples do look delicious, but we can't stay here." Penny caws again. "You're right. We haven't eaten in a while. We should take some." Olivia plucks a handful of apples off the trees. She then carefully places them in her pockets. Olivia hops back on Penny. "Now, no more detours. We haven't time to waste." Penny flew up into the air until they could see the vast expanse of the garden. It stretched on for what appeared to be miles. At the heart was a small dirt patch.Olivia excitedly points to the patch. Penny lands, bewildered. All she can see is a few rotting pumpkins. Olivia, on the other hand is over the moon. She jumps off Penny and rushes to a pumpkin. She picks it up, only to find that the side is so soft that it is falling in. She eyes the others. The all have a similar, decayed look. Feeling a little dejected, Olivia lowers her head. "We need just one good one." She paces back and forth, hoping that she overlooked one. As she is about to call it quits, Penny comes to her aide. She points a little pumpkin buried beneath a bigger one. Olivia shoves the big, grotesque pumpkin to the side. She picks up the pumpkin that was under it. She examines it closely. There are no soft spots or any signs of rotting. It's a little smaller(about the size of a soft ball) but it will do. Olivia happily takes the pumpkin back to Penny. "To the kitchen, Penny."
