The sounds of everyday live buzzed as white noise around Goosey, morning had dragged by as usual but now she basked in the mid-day sun. The golden rays lit up the Bru-fli garden, increasing the charisma of the little place. The grasshoppers’ song was distant and buzzing, the aroma of the summer blooms rode on the breeze and the chink of a wind chime was reaching the garden. Goosey rolled over, getting up from her comfy spot and instead shaking the dust from her pelt and padding away into the garden too find her siblings.

Goosey explored the garden, searching desperately for her siblings. A Small giggle escaped the lips of a bean – must be one of her brothers or sisters. “Hello…?” she called out into the shadowy corner. Out of the blue Huckle jumped out of the shrubbery, scattering the red berries he had in a basket. Goosey squealed, rolling backwards from the sheer surprise whilst Huck fell into hysterics. Out of the shade came Lemmy, she was also giggling in amusement yet rather then inflicting damage to Goosey she poked Huck’s side. “Hey you lazy lump, get up if mum doesn't get these berries she-“She stared blankly at the scattered mess of raspberries and said, “Huck. What. Did. You. Do. To. The. Berries.”
Goosey who had been watching the scene blank with shock jumped to her feet, “Hey no fair Huck. No fair.”
“But her face-“
“HUCK, the berries.”
“Ok, Ok Lem, I'm getting the berries” He said tottering to the little red berries and returning them to the basket. “I’ll know your there next time,” Scowled Goosey.
“As if,” Huck shot back, but before he could add to that Lemmy cuffed Huck's ears.
“Hey I bet I can out run you to the house,” Lemmy said in a challenging voice and dashed away.
“Hey wait no COME BACK!” And as soon as they came they left, not without Goosey sticking her tongue out at her brother – Huck was unbearable at times.

Sighing she continued on her way, it was clear they were preoccupied. Goosey heard the chirping of the other twins, yet by the sound of it they were in mid adventure. Mul and Bruno were out whilst Blu was busying herself sorting out the years harvest of berries. She sighed, just her again. Something in the corner of her eye however caught her attention, a huge snag in the fence. A way out of the house to new adventures.

Goosey ran away, through the streets exploring the area outside her home. The light splashed the town in vivid illuminations, the sparkling windows of shops. Goosey explored into the town, beginning to avoid the beans. Her paws throbbed and the town was becoming a lot scarier place. tear after tear fell down her face as she began to cry. but then she was gently put into a warm pouch. a friendly face among a throng of shadows of beans. it was mul.

Mul took her home, still holding her in his arms as he walked down street of street but the streets became slightly more familiar to the still shellshocked goosey. "Ducky what have you done? How did you even get out the house?" Goosey didn't answer yet instead wailed into muls fur. He had reached the house after only around ten minutes -- then again mul had his long legs and he knew his way around. When they reached home they were greeted in open arms of blu. melly has just come out from a room where she had been looking for goosey whilst lemmy and huck were bickering over whose fault it was. yet they were home, and home is where the heart is.
