"Are the plants okay?"

"Check.."

"The nets, were they in positions?"

"As what you had told me so at every five minutes..."

Ever since her life started from having her own shop and selling her flowers for a living, being a florist is a tough job, not only she had to stay from tracking the plants from growing but they also had to join from any competions in order to gain people, and a great way to find customers as well

And now that day has finally come

It was the day that florists across the nation would have their chance to compete and show off their garden designs...

And she is one among those participants

Clutching her fist tightly, she tried to busied herself pulling out the remaining lavenders wrapped around the thick baskets with the help of her usual companions along with the black cat, chillingly resting its body on the mechanic's shoulder

The Garden was absolutely beautiful

Too beautiful

As well as the others

"Do you think it's good?" She asked, looking at her area distinctively trying not to catch any single mistake behind the man beside her

He nodded in awe while his eyes fixed at the view in front of them "It looks awesome, not gonna lie Jonesy but this is, perfection..."

And he was not wrong, it was really indeed beautiful, added with vibrant colors of the tulips sprouting beneath the trimmed grass, it took a lot of work to place and rearrange a few decorations..but it was all worth it

"Ho boy, I should take a picture with this..." Wybie smug and quickly grabbed his old camera by some miracle, it was still working

Coraline chuckled and slightlty punched his shoulder, the cat slightly wagged his tail away

"Oh god, stop it..." she laughed embarassingly

Occupied with their moment, one of the florists gasps in awe, causing for her head to focus to the attraction, as soon as one of the fellow participants grinned and pulled out a very rare type of plant, Coraline's smile dropped in hopelessness

"Oh my God, where did she get that..." she whispered in bewilderment that her two companions followed her gaze as well

However, the mechanic's expression remained stoic at the commotion as he placed the camera back on his sling bag

"Looks ordinary to me.." Wybie muttered, not even amused, she couldn't help but to roll her eyes towards his obliviousness

Of course he wouldn't understand such variations of plants like those, all he could think of was gears and batterries back at his garage

She smirked and patted his shoulder "That's a rare type of lily..."

"Oh, that?" His eyes widen as soon as he finally understood but Coraline was still busy from observing the flower

"wow, those are beautiful...she would definitely would win this fair..." she whispered, smiling sadly at her own flowers

Wybie and the Black Cat worriedly exchanged glances

"Why would you say that, Jonesy?" He chuckled nervously "I mean, the judges never said anything yet.."

"Wybie just look at it, her flowers are so rare, we barely get to see or even had one of those...all I could do was growing out sunflowers and the usual kinds that we usually see here.." waving her arms lazily, she turned her head away and hovered sadly, wrapping herself
