It was the next day and Magnolia was out shopping for her mother's flower shop. Going down the aisles, she continuously kept looking down at her long list and the shelves that lined each other.
"Let's see... Crocus', Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinth, Wisterias, Daisies, and maybe a few Lily of the Valle-." A child bumped into her as she walked out into the outer shop garden.
Looking down she was met with a little girl with twin pigtails and the light colored shade of purple tinted her hair color. It was absolutely pretty to Magnolia.
The little girl looked up at the looming lady in front of her and started to get teary eyes.
Magnolia went into babysitter mode in an instant and was cradling the girl in her arms soothingly. The child calmed down a bit as her soft purple tinted eyes fluttered opened to look at a darker shaded color. She reached up and grabbed a handful of her pretty dyed hair and started to yank it gently.
"Ah-! No, no, no... this isn't candy..! Hold on a bit... Okay..?" Magnolia hoisted her up on her hip with one arm as she dug into her pocket and pulled out a extra lollipop, "Here, suck on this. It's a lot more tasty than my hair. Yum yum." She started looking around the shop for anyone familiar.
"U-um... Pretty lady..? My Nii-San said not to talk to strangers... what should I do..?" She fiddled with her fingers nervously, a small pout rested on her chubby face.
Magnolia gently flicked her forehead, "It's all fine, I'm a nice stranger. And besides if you introduce yourself, then we're not strangers anymore."
The little girl's eyes sparkled a bit at the thought, "Ooh! That's a smarty idea..! Mwy name is Luma!" She giggled afterwards.
Magnolia patted the girl's head gently, "Well that's a pretty name Luna. My name is Magnolia, the flower...!" She gave the little girl a bright smile.
Luna stared up at her smile for a moment, "You know, Pretty flower girl. You should smile more. Then you can look much much much more happy!" She threw her arms up giggling, also smiling brightly.
Magnolia paused to look at the girl, thinking back to where she heard those same words in her future. She lightly bumped heads with the little girl, "You know? I should probably do that. Maybe I can be happy."
"Are you sad, pretty flower girl? Do you need a hug? My Nii-San says I give nice hugs, maybe you could use one." She smiled proudly.
"Nah, I'm happy right now, so let's go find this Nii-San you keep speaking about." She placed her back on the ground, "Tell me what he looks like, maybe we can find him in the crowd."
Luna just giggled, "Well I remember my Nii-San getting this weird hair cut and swirly tattoo on his head. It's so weird!"
Magnolia muffled a chuckle as the little girl grabbed hold of her hand, "So he's a weirdo? Interesting."
