//------------------------------// // 8. Garden Variety Girls // Story: EqG Tales: Monster High Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// Wearing a lavender T shirt and blue bib overalls with the pant cuffs rolled up, Wallflower Blush waters some of the flowers in her garden. When she was done, she puts down her watering can, takes off her sneakers, and sits down in a lounge chair. I should thank Applejack for these overalls. Wallflower thought. Not fancy at all. Just the way I like it. Just as Wallflower was relaxing, she heard a knock on the door to her garden. She went over and opened the door. She was shocked to see a lime green skinned girl with vines on her arms and legs. "Venus McFlytrap!" Wallflower called out. "This is a surprise!" "Who did you thought it was?" Venus wondered. "Sunset Shimmer?" Venus entered the garden, and looked around. She was amazed with the place. "This place is beautiful." Venus praised. "I can see you take good care of these flowers." "Thank you, Venus." Wallflower said. "Sunset Shimmer helps me out once in a while." "If she's not trying to makes moves on you." Wallflower was surprised to hear that. "You heard of that moment. Huh?" "I did. Sunset told me that she was interested in dating you." The green haired beauty giggled a little. "I'm surprised she was that interested in me." Venus looked at Wallflower's clothing. "I like that farm girl look." "Thank you." Wallflower praised. "But, I think you didn't just show up here to look at me and my garden." "You're right. There's a community garden in Canterlot City. And, I would like you to join me there." "Wow!" Wallflower shouted. "That sounds great. Let me put my sneakers on." Later, at Canterlot City, many people attend the community garden. There were sections of flowers and fruit and vegetables growing. Wallflower and Venus walk around, and are amazed. "This is so beautiful." Wallflower said. "I'd like to contribute to this place. There might be a place for me to grow some flowers." "And, to meet other plant lovers." Venus added. "That's true. Can't stay invisible or forgotten forever." Soon, they see a young girl with a video camera taping the garden. "Is that Juniper Montage?" Venus asked. "I heard many stories about that movie maniac." "True, Juniper maybe a trouble maker." Wallflower informed. "But, she turned out to be okay." Just then, the movie girl approached the garden lovers. "Wallflower Blush and Venus McFlytrap. This is a unique twosome." "What do we owe the honor of this appearance?" Wallflower wondered. "I'm just taping this garden to share online. Many people should get involved with things like this." "That's a nice change for you." Venus praised. "I guess you're through causing trouble. Right?" "You're right, Venus." As Juniper leaves, she gives the eco friendly plant girl a nice comment. "I'll say this, Venus. You're passionate for flowers as you are with recycling and preserving the environment." Wallflower Blush watched Juniper Montage leave as Venus McFlytrap gives her a reply. "You know, Wallflower, she's right." Wallflower smiled, knowing Venus has a good point.
