You know, now I have to decide which idea to go with...hmmm...I'm going to go with the one focusing more on humor...I think...oh gosh,2many choices
Far away in the lands of(sorry, couldnt help that intro
"Hey beatuiful!" He yellled at the mushroom
The mushroom turnd around slowly. "Are you talking to me?"It asked, its voice smooth and soft.
"Yes I am, and might I say how lovely you look today!"
The mushroom blushes and starts to walk in Cadvan's direction
"How kind of you! Really, it's been such a long time since I've meet a real gentlemen!"
Cadvan was a bout an arm length away now ready to dive the forks behind his back into that delicous mushroom, when out of no where Irc came flying out of the sky and swooped up the mushroom and carried it away.
"Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why does this always happen to me!! What did I do to deserve this!??!! " He shouts at the sky.
Irc appeared across the field licking his beak (if thats possible
Cadvan took off in a rampage full of fury, his target Irc. But then he tripped falling flat on his face. He got up to see what he was so clumsy to trip on but realized it was just the ground, no twig, root, no anything.
A voice coming from seemingly no where says" You know, it isn't very polite to cry like a baby, it's not like the mushroom had your name on it or anything."
Cadvan is even angrier at this point, if that was even possible. Cadvan looks up to see Saliman. When he sees the expression on Saliman's face he is aware that is friend was only joking with him. Buth then after greeting him his mind goes back to his fall.
"What tripped me?" He asked Saliman
"Oh, that was Hem, I told him not too, but you know hoe he is." They both looked over up in a nearby tree to see Hem eating a big juicy fruit.
" I swear he hasn't changed a bit!!" Cadvan laughed
But then the bird (irc) flew up to sit next to Hem in the tree, Cadvan watched eager to see what Hem would do, but then Hem handed the remaining fruit to the bird.
"You know that good for nothing -----------stealing---no-good-bird!!??!!" Cadvan shouted.
But then Irc flew across the mushrooms finding the ripest juicest one there was and flew back and dropped it right at Cadvan's feet.
Cadvan stood their shocked and then said,"..............
"Okay. How about this: I'll give you a spoon and you'll give me more mushrooms."
Irc fluffed his feathers and flew off in pursuit of better mushrooms. "Cadvan!" called Hem from where he was, across the field. "What are you doing? Irc is supposed to find mushrooms just for me!"
You are my friend, featherbrain, but I give mushrooms to those who pay me before I give mushrooms to you, said Irc.
"Fine!" said Hem. "Be that way!" He stomped off.
Irc flew after him to apologize for hurting his friend's feelings; he really hadn't meant to.
Cadvan and Saliman laughed at the scene--they enjoyed so much watching Hem and Irc play with each other. Such a relief after the war.
"Cadvan, have you been corrupting Irc again?" Maerad asked, teasing, as she stepped up behind him. She was so silent he jumped.

he always wondered how she did that. He turned to her about to shout at her for making him jump when he saw her wearing the smile that always melts his heart, how can he shout at her, he cant ever really stay angry at her for long. But then he remembered how he always struggled to saty angry with anyone he cared ALOT for.
As these thoughts were swimming round his head cadvan realised everyone was looking at his strangely. It was at this point he realised he was wearing an encredibly goofy smile.
''um...well dont do that again, u no its not good to make me jump it always puts me on edge''. He said he cheeks turning an interesting shade of red.
saliman looked at cadvan with raised eyebrows, it wasnt often he saw his friend blush. Thinking back it had been happening for awhile now!
A thought suddenly popped into his head, no it cant be the great cadvan has a crush....................
Cadvan saw Saliman's expression and became defensive suddenly. "What is it?" he asked.
"Nothing," said Saliman. "Just....Nothing."
Cadvan nodded, relieved that he wouldn't have to explain anything at the moment. "Want another mushroom?" he asked Saliman.
Before Saliman could answer, though, Maerad interjected, "What Cadvan meant to say is that we're in love."
Silence.
the silence continued for what turned out to be an uncomfortable amount of time......
Saliman was looking for cadvan to mearad, mearad to cadvan with a smirk on his face. He was wondering how long it would take them 2 realise this, he looked a mearad taking in everything about her he could see her beauty and kindness. and was happy for his friend, maybe even a little jelous but he wasnt going to let anyone no tht.
''well...i was wondering when we were going to start telling people, looks like nows a good a time as any'' said cadvan.
He turn and held mearads hand giving her a gentle kiss on the lips, however as he was doing this he noticed a look in salimans eye. Something he had seen before when he looked at mearad a look of lust.
This made his blood boil............................................
"what was the look for?" he said, trying in vain to contain his anger.
"well, its just that..."
"what?!?!" cadvan interrupted.
"it's just that i though maerad and i were in love!" saliman burst out
"oh." said cadvan
"how could you maerad?!" saliamn accused. "we had such a good time together after the war and now youre throwing your lot in with him? im soooo much better than him! i am... handsome! i mean, look at his rugged features, his face criss crossed with scars from the war, his nose is way too big for his face, his arms and legs are like stumps.. anyway, back on topic, WHAT ABOUT ME??"
"it isnt fair, ive had enough and i want my share..." whispered hem from the tree.
everyone turned to stare at him. "what??" he whined. "its just very akward, here, an akward silence i thought to fill..." he trailed off "gees no one appreciates me these days. after all, i did help maerad complete the treesong!!"
"yeah, well, would you like me to tell you how you did that? coz ive heard the story so many times i could repeat it off by heart" said cadvan sarcastically.
"hey!" said saliman, glaring at hema dn cadvan equally. "no avoiding the questions!!!" he turned to stare pointedly at maerad and cadvan. "well, im waiting!"
cadvan and maerad looked at each other.
"well," said maerad...
Maerad was just about to answer when Cadvan interupted her
"What do mean I have a big nose!??!!! " He whined
Maerad's jaw dropped that of all things at this moment he was concerned that Saliman thought his nose was big
"Uh..." said Saliman. "I'm not really sure. I just said that, well, because...."
"Hold on a sec!" cried Maerad suddenly. "Who's eaten mushrooms so far?"
Everyone had, except her.
"Quick, we have to get out of here! The mushrooms are making us mad at each other!"
they all collected their belongings and left as quickly as possible, as they were leaving cadvan gave saliman the best look of disgust that he could master will muttering '' doesnt excuse the fact hes trying to steal MY girl''.
Mearad looked at his with a slight smirk playing on her face as she leaned over an wispered ''You have nothing to worrry about nothing could steal me away from you, now stop being grumpy and give me a kiss''
saliman turned away, all he can think is y didnt he get in there earlier, and god shes sooo fit.
meanwhile, behind his back, cadvan and maerad were having one mighty smooch. "mmm cadvan.." she murmured. "everytime we kiss you get better and better..."
"thanks babe," he replied "now shut up, we're in the middle of one mighty smooch, remember?"
"how could i forget" she said.
"umm hello??" said hem "i thought we were escaping the magic mushrooms. im not going to sit around while you lot have a love fest because its pretty gross right now. im leaving!" and collecting irc, he jumped out of the tree and started to walk off.
emerging from the mighty smooch, maerad shouted "wait! we're coming!" and she picked up her dropped belongings and hurried after hem. "come on cadders, hem's probably going somewhere with lots of yummy food, and you know what that means!"
"yeah," whispered cadvan under his breath, "i get to drop grapes into your mouth and we can drink champagne with twined arms! yes! Im coming! what about you, saliman?" he said, louder. "coming to eat some stuff with maerad and hem and handsome ol' me?"
"whatever," saliman grumbled, and he trailed after cadvan who was dreamily following maerad who was running after hem who was following his nose to the food.
a short while later, hem arrived at the source of the tantalising smells. "wow!" he exclaimed "look at this table piled with meats and vegies and fruits and cheeses and lollies and breads and desserts! where to start?"
"wait!" shouted maerad "...
(hehe this is getting good)
Hem turned to look at mearad as soon as he had seen what she was looking at, a look of amazement crossed his face......................
"a 500-scoop ice cream sundae!?!?! OMGOMG i bags all the chocolate scoops!!!" said hem excitedly
"actually, i was staring at the 100 bananas in the pile," said maerad, "who has the money to but 100 bananas these days? let alone 500 scoops of ice cream..."
'' yor right mearad, but im not gona complain i mean come on free food!'' replied hem
''Wait dont touch anything it could be a trap'' shouted mearad
they both froze, but where were cadvan and saliman?
"uh oh" said maerad, pointing at the 500-scoop of sundae, "there they are"
and so they were. surrounded by a puddle of melted ice cream, cadvan and saliman were stuffing as much of the ice cream as they could into their mouths.
"hey, unfair! not only did you get a head start, but i know i saw a chocolate scoop going into cadvans mouth" said hem, as he jumped onto the pile of icecream, scooping handfuls into his mouth.
"what the heck" said maerad, jumping onto another section of the pile
