--do you know?

In the deepest darkness of the night, when everyone is asleep, those beautiful flowers will sneak out and happily form a circle in the palace, dancing together.

Also dancing with them are the dolls in the palace, and the elves living in the flowers will wake up at this time and dance in them: they are the best at this, and can perform various tricks in the air.

An exquisite gesture came out.

"What an amazing dance. Look, they've even started setting off the fireworks!"

The girl who called herself Memories sat on the steps of the palace and pointed outside: there was a sky as dark as ink.

Kitahara Kaede raised his head, and the deep black was reflected in his orange-gold eyes.

The midnight sky is like a robe cut from black velvet cloth, studded with sparkling dreams - after people fall asleep, their dreams will float to the sky and become a star, looking at this curiously

The world is also being looked at curiously by this world.

Then suddenly there were streaks of light rising up in the dark sky, lighting up all the dreams.

Every time the stars in the sky and the flowers on the ground meet, it is a splendid fireworks that will be remembered by everyone for a lifetime.

The east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night.

The more it blows down, the stars are like rain.

Kitahara and Kaede looked at the scene in front of them, and thought of this sentence almost suddenly. They thought of the gorgeous flowers blown open by the spring breeze, and thought of countless meteors falling with long tails.

"It's so beautiful," he said.

The most dazzling fireworks when they are in full bloom and the most magnificent when they are fading, there is nothing better than this.

"Of course it's beautiful."

The little girl held her face and watched the last bit of fire fall: "They burn the illusions abandoned by human beings, so these are also the most beautiful fireworks in the world."

The seeds buried in the soil did not break through the soil in the end, and welcomed the sunshine and rain. But they also chose to bloom in another way.

Even if this kind of bloom can only exist for a short moment, it is still a joy.

"Well... although it feels full of tragedy, as long as it's in full bloom, they should all be very happy."

Beihara and Feng withdrew their gaze and showed a smile: "As a flower, isn't it a very good thing to be able to die in full bloom?"

The girl who walked out of the elderberry tilted her head, looked at the white elderflowers on her clothes, and then laughed.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it." She said with her eyes bent, and then she fiddled with the flowers a few times. Then they jumped off her clothes one by one and walked to the palace on their own.

went.

The posture of these flowers is extremely serious, like a rigorous record-keeping clerk. However, considering that the mother elderberry is also called "memory", it is not incomprehensible.

Beihara and Feng looked at the flowers with some curiosity: "Are the flowers on your body also going to the dance?"

"What's wrong! Let them play tonight. We still have to say hello to those little guys."

The girl smiled, as if she could see what the other person was thinking, then she took the traveler's hand and led him to run up the high steps.

"Wait, 'those little guys'?"

"Hahahahaha, you can guess their names -" the girl laughed lightly and jumped to the upper steps.

It was like there was some kind of magic in these steps. Every time she stepped on a step, her body grew a little taller and her age seemed a little older. When they stepped on the last step, she was already a slim figure.

girl.

"Welcome to our ball." The girl turned her head and said to the traveler with a smile, "As a human being, you can feel honored."

The hall was brightly lit. Two roses with crowns sat on the throne: they were the King and Queen of Flowers here. At this time, the two flowers were drinking red wine - the color of the wine was not as beautiful as their own petals.

Cockscombs, as a guard of honor, lined up neatly on both sides. Violets and carnations were respectable gentlemen, dancing with guavas and pink primroses. Poppies and peonies were members of the music band,

Bean pods were used to play festive tunes on the side.

For a moment, Kitahara and Kaede thought that a butterfly had also flown over, but after it fell to the ground, he discovered that this "butterfly" was also a flower, a particularly beautiful purple early spring flower.

"So are all these butterflies disguised as flowers?" the traveler asked curiously, looking at the butterflies flying in the hall.

"Butterflies are just flowers. It's just that with permission, they can fly around during the day except in winter."

The girl looked at the flowers flying in the sky, smiled and greeted them one by one: "Hello, hyacinth. Hello, yellow lily. And our cutest little daisy!"

"Oh..." The traveler caught a flower that flew to his hand curiously, pinched its lovely petals, and then asked, "So what will happen in winter?"

"In winter they have a banquet that lasts until spring. After the banquet, they turn into butterflies and quietly fly out and land on the branches again - no one will notice. They think it is spring.

New growth of tweed.”

This time it was another voice that answered him. Kitahara and Kaede looked over and found that it was an elf that was not half as long as a thumb.

She has a pair of beautiful and gentle big eyes, a pair of white fly wings fluttering lightly behind her back, and a small golden crown on her head.

"Hello, my name is Maya. You can also call me Thumbelina." The villain bowed to him, his voice soft and soft, like the fragrance of tulips, "Welcome to our banquet."

Thumbelina?

Beihara and Feng blinked in surprise, looked at the small, seemingly shy little girl in front of them, and finally nodded politely to each other: "I'm honored to be here too."

Thumbelina smiled cutely at him, then flapped her wings behind her and continued to find her lover, dancing with him above the hall. The other elves gathered around them, laughing happily.

A golden tulip lady was in charge of the piano, and the white lily of the valley dangled the bells on her body, and the crisp sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang" echoed the minuet of the flowers on the dance floor.

Kitahara and Kaede even saw a tin soldier with only one leg. He was dancing with a dancing artist. Although he was missing one leg, it did not affect his actions at all.

"I feel like all my childhood dreams are about to be fulfilled by this dance."

The traveler looked at the lively scene in the hall and sighed at the girl beside him, but the orange-gold eyes were clearly smiling: "Flowers that can dance and fly, and Thumbelina and the elves, here.

Dancers and tin soldiers dancing together..."

The girl listened quietly beside him, her sea-blue eyes reflecting the brilliant lights in the hall.

"So you can consider yourself the luckiest person in the world." She tilted her head slightly, her voice filled with the unique softness of "Memories", "Your world will be the most beautiful one."

But what was your past like? But now, you already have a very amazing world.

So don’t always lock yourself in memories of the past: you still have a very gorgeous and colorful present, and a future with unlimited possibilities.

You can continue to fly in the sky and chase the things you love. Those past will become the wings for you to fly, rather than the shackles that bind your wings.

"So, I will be as happy as today in the future." The girl stretched out her hand and rubbed Kitahara and Kaede's head, her sea-blue eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

Elderberry, who grew up in memories, has seen too many tragedies, so she is looking forward to a happy ending:

A bird can fly like a bird, a fish can swim like a fish, and human beings can move forward freely following their own consciousness.

This is the gentlest blessing that "memory" can give to the lives living now and in the future.

"..." Beihara and Feng looked at each other helplessly, and finally showed expressions of surrender, turning their heads silently, "I now know that they will all call you Elderberry Mother."

"Well?"

"Actually, I kind of want to call you mom now..."

"Xiao Beiyuan, do you need to take care of yourself?"

"Ahem, cough, cough. Speaking of which, I suddenly noticed that Andersen seemed to be here too. Aren't you going to take a look?"

The girl raised her eyebrows, took back the birch stick in her hand, and then looked in the direction of the entrance to the hall.

Just like the scenes in all fairy tales, a handsome boy in well-dressed clothes and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes appeared in the ballroom hand in hand: and then they became the well-deserved focus of the audience.

"Long time no see, Hans!" "And Undine! I can't even go to the ocean to find you! You have become a human now!"

The excitement is comparable to some offline meet-ups.

Kitahara and Kaede thought a little funny, watching the flowers and elves running over together. The dancing dolls also happily surrounded them, chatting excitedly with each other.

"But has Miss Undine turned into a human?" The traveler looked at the mermaid with human legs, touched his chin, and asked the girl next to him.

"If it wasn't for Hans to sing the last song belonging to the mermaid, she would have turned into a human long ago." The girl looked on with a smile, her tone was tolerant of an elder, "She is always so stubborn and stubborn."

Now the stubborn and stubborn Miss Undine and Mr. Andersen are the center of the well-deserved ball. The two roses warmly entertained them, and then invited each other to dance the last dance for the ball that was about to end.

"This will be the most dazzling dance." The two roses said, and then handed them their crowns. This made the two people more like a prince and a princess.

In the following time, everyone saw the dance that only mermaids in the deep sea can perform.

The mermaid who had gained human legs smiled happily, took the hand of the bewildered Andersen, and led him to spin around the hall - like a lithe swallow that was spinning and flying.

Her steps are so graceful and light, like a string of bubbles in the sun. Every note can bring out the beauty from the deep sea, and she calmly responds to the steps of her dance partner.

This long dance continued until the meteors fell from the sky. Everyone raised their heads, looked at the bright stars streaking across the sky, and then made a sound of surprise.

"Look, it's a shooting star!"

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many!”

"So, do you want to make a wish?" The girl raised her head and looked at the mighty meteor shower, and suddenly asked the traveler.

Make a wish...?

Beihara and Feng looked at the stars with long dazzling tails, and then at the people who seemed to be closing their eyes and making wishes after a brief surprise, and couldn't help but smile.

Then he closed his eyes and made his wish.
