Aqua Springs ~ ART GALLERY OPEN! ~ Geezerville

[Kits Rose]

*nearly walks past Aqua Springs because she doesn't recognize it* eek surprised What the? *stands in the middle of the parking lot, staring at the new forest*

*flies up to the trees, sniffing at them for a second, then laughs wildly when she sees them fused with the building* Joke! rofl  

[Cuwen]

Amy's eyes widened as she saw the spectacle in front of her. Slowly, her hands lowered and she just stared for awhile.

A few moments later, her face scrunched up and she sobbed.  

[Kits Rose]

*stares at the forest, gradually seeing parts of the building behind the trees* surprised Joke? What joke, Blossom?

*ears twitch and she turns to Amy* Amy... *hugs her* It's okay, Amy. Aqua Springs is still there. It's behind the trees... er.. in them, or something.

*flies around the building, seeing the pet spa tubs filled with sap and some of the other little pranks, and laughs at them all*  

[Cuwen]

Amy tried to catch her breath in between her sobs, but it was so hard to. It was like everything was catching up to her and this was the last straw.

"Who... who keeps doing this? Why Kits, why all of a sudden? Why to us?"

She leaned into her friend's hug and wrapped her arms tightly around her waist.  

[Kits Rose]

*rubs Amy's back* Amy, aren't Liada's workers some kind of supernatural creatures or something? They do love to play tricks...

*after flying around and inadvertently scattering fairy dust on all the trees, flies back to Kits and Amy, laughing* Good joke! mrgreen

Just like Blossom... sweatdrop Besides, it can't be too bad. Wasn't *pauses for a moment to remember the name* Anira watching them?  

[Cuwen]

Amy nodded, still crying. "Liada said... said they wouldn't do tricks while on her payroll! She said it'd go against their contract and they'd be humiliated... Anira was supposed to be watching them! We're never going to get back on our feet at this rate!"  

[Kits Rose]

Well, we'll have to talk to Liada about that, then. neutral Come on, let's go inside. Maybe it isn't as bad as it looks from out here. sweatdrop *really hopes the interior's okay*

*looks back and forth between Kits and Amy* No joke? confused  

[Cuwen]

Amy nodded and started walking with Kits toward the entrance of AS, or at least what she hoped was still the entrance.

She kept her eyes closed as they walked inside. "I'm afraid to look..."  

[Kits Rose]

*looks around once they get inside and sighs in relief when she sees that it looks more or less normal* Amy, it's okay. *laughs softly* It's a little darker because of the trees, but it's back to how it was.  

[Cuwen]

Amy heard what Kits said and slowly opened one eye. When she saw it all looked normal, she quickly opened her other eye and looked around in awe. "It's... it's normal. It's back to normal! It looks amazing! And... and those trees could serve as a shade! We might save on air conditioning! Maybe the trees were a special gift, not some new way to ruin the place! I mean, feel how cool it is!"

She was breathing heavily and then dissolved into tears again. These were tears of relief and exhaustion.  

[Kits Rose]

That's right. *nods and hugs Amy* Blossom, what kind of trees are those?

*flies up to look at them again, then calls down to Kits* Apple! Mmmm.

Apple trees! If they're already this big, I'm sure they'll be bearing fruit this year. Think about it, we'll have the flowers this spring, and in the fall we'll have plenty of apples! We can make treats with them, and sell them...  

[Kits Rose]

*with that thought in mind, Kits takes Amy home, where Karrie is waiting for her. With Amy so exhausted, Kits doesn't stay when they ask her to, but heads home instead. She has a painting to work on. biggrin *  

[Kits Rose]

*walking into Aqua Springs, she calls all of the on-duty staff together for a meeting. She attempts to explain the new forest and the other pranks that people have been coming across. She then announces the official end of the winter activities, since it's now getting too warm for them. The trolley will stay running, as much for transport of employees to the other side of the property as for guests to see how much things have changed. She reassures the staff that none of them will be let go, and instructs them to start clearing the space for Amy's garden, as well as the area around the pool. The pool is also to be inspected to make sure it made it through the winter and the sudden tree growth safely. Kits also says that any tree limbs that have to be cut down are to be kept. Once dried out, they will make good fuel for the fire pit, and there's no reason to waste it.

Once the meeting is over, Kits stays to answer the questions that some of the staff have, including those who are worried about Amy after how hard she pushed herself this weekend. Reassuring them that Amy will be fine after some rest, Kits returns home to work on the painting that she's running out of time to work on*  

[Cuwen]

Amy sat outside AS in the back near the empty-but-uncovered pool. She was thinking about how she was going to proceed with her plan now. She didn't want to do it by herself, but she knew Kits wouldn't want to do it. Her main plan was loosely based around having Jessi with her, though she wasn't even sure Jessi would want to do this. She tried to remain neutral on everything.

Amy laid back on the cement and stared up at the apple trees above her head. They looked beautiful, though some of those branches above the pool would have to be cut off. They were very relaxing, though, and really allowed her mind to wander...  

[FireSpark]

Daniel walked quietly away from the exterior door that he had just arrived at. He ran aa hand along the brim of the hat that he had chosen to wear, and then gave it a slight tug to set it just right. As he came up behind where Amy was lounging he spoke softly.

"I'm not intruding am I?"
