Upon walking home, the cowgirl would take the very same route her little dog friend had wandered through wondering if there was any way she could apologize to the poor elderly man. At first, it seemed as if the night would be wonderfully peaceful, until Elizabeth started to see some clouds rolling in. Of course, the girl was quite frustrated and also quite depressed. What could she possibly do now? There was no way she would be able to avoid the bar if it was raining! There was nothing else to do unless she went to bed but she wasn't exactly tired yet. She could take a long bath but that would eventually bore the poor, energetic beauty. Perhaps, she could go many the two princesses. Then again. Diana on her own was enough for Honora and there was no telling if the two were actually home. So, the cowgirl would sigh in defeat. What would she do?

Eventually, the woman would come upon the old man's house, which took a lot longer to reach when walking. However instead of seeing the elderly man, she would take sight of an elderly woman. Walking up to the white fence, Elizabeth would note the hole under both fences had been taken care of but the woman seemed to be replanting and planting new plants. With a look of sadness, the cowgirl would hop the fence, yet again, and wander towards the old woman. "Excuse me, Miss," Elizabeth would say in a soft tone as not to startle the woman. With a quick turn of the head and a small smile the woman would reply, "Yes, Deary? May I help you?" With a smile in return, Elizabeth would speak, "Oh No, Ma'am. The question is.. Can I help you? It seems there's a rain storm rolling in and by the looks of things you may not be done by then. If I know anything about gardenin' you wouldn't want those empty holes to fill with water." With a look to the sky the woman would whisper, "Well... my heavens. I'd love your help, Deary." Still holding her smile, Elizabeth would bend down to pick up a small sprout before placing it in a hole and covering it with new soil.

Upon planting the first new plant, the woman would begin to speak, "You're a kind hearted, young one. Don't let that change. We don't have many of you now." Elizabeth would smile just a tad before picking up a seed and holding it within her palm, "No, Ma'am. I'm not kind. I simply do kind things but they'll never outweigh my sins." Elizabeth would drop the seed into a small hole six inches in the ground before covering it with soil. The old woman would continue to plant items into the ground as she shook her head, "Now Now, Deary. Honestly, no sin in any world could ever weigh more than a kind deed. Without kindness, don't you think the sins would have taken this world already?" Purple eyes would stare at the concentrating face of the elderly woman. Then, she would turn away taking another seed in her hand before digging a small, six inch hole, "But.. sins are always taking. They take people, which are part of this world. Those people do bad things and take more parts of the world." The old woman would chuckle just a bit, "Exactly, Deary. Part. Sin has only ever taken parts. Never has it taken whole or everything. You see.. kindness is given. Kindness does not take. Giving leaves more influence than taking. It's just as a flower. The world is given seeds and accepts them. Then, they bloom into beauty. Kindness is Flowers." With eyes that seemed to shout confusion, Elizabeth would drop a seed into the ground and cover it with soil slowly. With a small nod, she would turn towards the elderly woman, "You remind me of someone.. very special to me. I've forgotten who I am. I've forgotten what the people that loved me have wanted for my life. Thank you for your kindness." With a bright smile, Elizabeth would return to helping the elderly woman plant flowers. Without the cowgirl's knowledge, a tear would roll down the elderly woman's face as she smiled, 'Of course, My Emerald.'

Just as the last of the plants were being finished, the elderly woman would speak again, "You know, Deary, my husband was quite furious when you and your little puppy trudged through." This would cause Elizabeth to freeze and hang her head with a moan. "Aw man," the cowgirl would speak before turning to the old woman, "Please forgive me! I didn't mean it! I was dog sitting because a woman lost her boy and I just wanted to help. Turns out I don't know anything about puppies and it ran away. I just wanted to catch him but I lost him. Then, I found him in your garden! I'm so sorry!" The cowgirl would almost beg the woman to accept her forgiveness, until the woman started laughing. "No need to apologize! It was quite a wonderful sight to see! I couldn't help but laugh! It's been so long since I've done such a thing and my husband. He hasn't smiled so much in so many years. I'm not sure.. maybe about.. fifteen whole years." The elderly woman would smile remembering the last moment she and her husband were happy. However, the mention of fifteen ears would make Elizabeth frown.

"Fifteen years. Such a wretched time for everyone I assume." These words from the green haired beauty would cause the elderly woman to stare in sadness, "Yes, I suppose." As the last seed was dropped into its hole, the rain would begin to fall. Quickly, the hole would be covered and the green haired beauty would escort the old woman into her home. With a smile Elizabeth would speak, "Well, time for me to go. I have some business to tend to. I hope to see you around soon." With a quick turn, the creaky door would open and a quick word would be spoken, "Come back anytime. The doors always open."
