Fandango’s Friday Flashback — June 7

Fandango asked for a flashback post from us, so this is what I posted back then on this day.

FLOWER POWER?
FLOWER POWER?
Scene: Busy Classroom
Characters: Tommy, the student, and a solar powered flower
***
The teacher gave the students an assignment. They are quietly working at their desks. Tommy is looking around the room, thinking of something to write his essay about, and tapping his pencil on the desk.
Tap – Tap – Tap
FLOWER: Pssst, Tommy!
TOMMY: (looking toward the window sill) …Huh?
FLOWER: Don’t look so startled. It’s just me, the Flower. (nodding his flowery head) Yeah, I can talk.
TOMMY: (looks around the room to see if anyone is watching him) …But…how can you talk? You’re just a toy flower.
FLOWER: I’m a magic flower. Don’t worry about it.
TOMMY: What do you want?
FLOWER: I want you to write about me. You can make up some stuff, but make sure you mention I can only talk to you.
TOMMY: (smiling) Okay, but they won’t believe me. (starts writing on his paper)
FLOWER: (humming a little tune…waiting)
TOMMY: I’m finished writing. Can you read, too?
FLOWER: Nope, you will have to read it to me.
TOMMY: (reading) … Once upon a time there was a fake flower that could talk.
FLOWER: Fake? Fake? I’m as real as you are. Scratch that out.
TOMMY: Fine…(scratches through the word fake, then writes more words)
FLOWER: Well…are you done with my story?
TOMMY: (writes ‘the end’ on his paper) …Okay, listen to this, Mr. Flower. “Once upon a time there was a toy flower that could talk to me, but only in this classroom. He was a pretty flower, but sorta weird. I think we’ll be friends forever.”
FLOWER: (smiling) I like it, Tommy! I think we’ll be friends forever, too.
…
TEACHER: (Looking over at Tommy) … “Tommy, stop your daydreaming, and get busy writing your paper. It has to be finished by the time the bell rings.”
TOMMY: (sighing) … “Yes ma’am.” (starts writing about a talking flower)
…
THE END
