Summary: The very important things Grune does before going to war.
Author's Notes: Pretty much what it says on the tin.
There were a lot of people talking on the journals the day they were asked to protect the village. Many of them sounded upset or scared. That was all right. It was all right to be scared when you had to fight, as long as you still did your best.
Grune wasn't scared, though. She was happy she could help keep everyone safe, since, the last time, she had needed to stay home. Although, even if she hadn't been able to go with the others, she had still given Dhaos a violet to keep his spirits up, and she had baked a big cake to share with everyone afterward. That was important, too.
After hearing her name be called, she talked to her friends for a little while, and then closed her journal. It took her a bit to decide what she needed to do—she kept thinking of other things—but soon she decided on three very important jobs: she needed to find someone to water Raven's fire lilies, she needed to find someone to water her garden, and she needed to find lots of gels to keep all her friends nice and healthy.
Once she was sure she knew what she should do, she left the house to look for gels at the shops. There weren't very many, but she took them anyway—every little bit counted.
The next day, it was easy to find people to look after the gardens; her friends were all very kind people. She went back to the shops once or twice (or was it three or four times?) throughout the day to find more gels, and made sure to do an extra-good job weeding both her garden and Raven's.
In the evening, she went to stand in the middle of her garden.
"Hello, everyone!" she called out to her flowers. "I'm going to be going away for a little while, but don't worry—I'll be back very soon."
A window opened and she heard Fenimore ask, "Grune, who are you talking to?"
"I'm saying goodbye to my flowers," she replied.
"You're . . . right." She heard the window shut again.
She turned back to her flowers, and . . . what was she saying? Oh, yes.
"My friends will be looking after you, Pommy and Martel and . . . hmm." Who else was it? "They'll keep you company, so I'm sure you won't be lonely."
She looked around with a big smile for all of them and said, "Good night, everyone!"
Then she went inside and went to bed.
When she woke up the next morning, she made sure to dress very carefully, braiding her hair and pinning her veil firmly so she wouldn't lose it. She nearly put on Giles' necklace, but changed her mind at the last minute and put on her red beads instead. She wouldn't want to lose or break her important present, after all.
After breakfast with her friends—which was a little quieter than usual, for some reason—she went back to her room and packed all the gels she had found into her urn. When she came out, she made sure to give a big hug to everyone (even Norma and Walter, who were going with her).
Then, with Norma by her side and Walter walking a little ahead, they all stepped out of House 34 to protect the village together.

I love how she thinks to leave Giles' necklace behind, but takes her veil. LOL. It's just... part of the Grune outfit.
Poor Walter. XD
I still need to come up with that fic for what Dhaos was doing during his first draft. YOU ARE BETTER AT THIS THAN I. Happy, be it XD

Oh, but she can't go out without her veil! Unless she's going to the beach, anyway. Then it usually doesn't come. XD
Walter is in a constant state of "Poor Walter" when it comes to Grune. XD
Heheh, well, when you spend like half an hour a day writing, you have to write something? I'm sure you'll get to it eventually! ♥
