Like any year, summer ends, giving place to autumn.

Teylie feels the light breeze in the air, ruffling the feathers of her wings and her fur, making her vines recoil from the cold.

As she walks through the streets that are starting to have random dry leaves on the floor, the rose terra realizes it would be ideal to buy a new bullet journal. As the seasons change, she always makes sure to have a small journal at hand with her, to write on a list of things to do and to keep up with her chores. Especially those that are involved in the care of her roses.

Last year in autumn thanks to her forgetfulness, she ended up with a mild case of Powdery mildew that greatly affected both the well-being of her flowers and her health itself. Teylie can't help but shudder at the memory of those horrible weeks, and determined to not let it happen again, she goes straight to her favorite shop to buy a beautiful bullet journal.

Once she enters the crafting shop, it becomes clear that even the products sold have adapted to the arrival of new season. Autumn based products and Halloween ones fill the corridors and Teylie realizes she's going to end up buying way more than previously thought, but who could blame her?

Those Halloween stickers were adorable, she needed them to decorate her sketchbooks and bullet journal. Oh and the bat plushie with a witch hat? Completely necessary! Haven't you seen how soft it is?

Teylie starts adding things to her cart: washi tape, a mummy costume (she had to be ready if anyone told her to go trick or treating when Halloween arrived!), candies, scented candles, Halloween wall decorations, an autumn-themed pencil case, and of course the bullet journal!

She's extremely excited for all her purchases, hoping to show them off to her best friends. The idea of planning a Halloween party was already on her mind.

It only backfires… when she has to go back with all the bags. And Teylie curses the gods for making her love shopping sprees while having short legs.

The owner, who has already seen this scene before, kindly offers to help her out. But if there's something that Tey hates more than carrying bags, it's to bother people. So the small terra simply turns around, trying to sound as cheerful as possible when she says:

"No need to worry! This is perfect for my daily workout!"

Fifteen minutes later she's finally at home, laying on the floor as her flowers ask for water, pissed off by the unnecessary workout. But the rose terralien can't bring herself to be bothered after all the things she bought and the ideas she got, giggling excitedly.

Autumn will be amazing this year!
