Cherry was just minding her business in the forest. She sat in the grass, playing with some flowers. And yes, you can play with flowers, don’t ask me how, I’m just the narrator. Anyways, she dangles the flowers in her fingers before something caught her eye.

Is that… a new leaf?

How could that be? She’s explored this forest all around and has never seen such a plant with these type of leaves before. Where did it come from?

Woah… what the hell? She couldn’t help but flinch. Did the leaf just move? On its own. The wind isn’t blowing. She’d know cause of the leaves on her antlers weren’t moving. She got on her knees and put her face right up close to it.

Well now it’s not moving… As she backed away from it again- there it was! It moved again!

She kept her eyes on the weird moving leaf. It was… walking? How could a leaf do that? So, she followed it for a while. It was really slow, but she was patient.

After a while she noticed legs. That’s when she realized it wasn’t just some weird type of leaf, it was some kind of bug. A leaf bug. She’s never seen one before though. However, her discovery doesn’t go unnoticed, a small child screaming fills the air, getting louder and louder before-

Thud!

The child just fell from the sky in a little ghost costume. Cherry crowns. Her little leaf bug friend was squished now.
