Alex's bunk

Derek woke up in the morning and found a gift wrapped in green and brown paper. A smile crept across his face as he slowly unwrapped it. The gift probably was the result of their little meeting in the field the other day. Nevertheless he opened the gift and found a small bag. There was a small note on the side.

Dear, Derek,
This is a gift from me to you, hope you enjoy the gift.
Love, Mom

Derek's smile grew more as he read the note. He slowly undid the golden lace and opened the bag. Inside there were twelve seeds.

Derek looked up to see his half-sister, Jana. "Hey, there, JK." He smiled warmly and hugged her back, putting his gift to the side of him. "Nothing much just looking at my gift."The son of Demeter moved over so Jana Kay could sit down next to him. "That's good! I'm sure mother would be proud." He nudged her a bit. Jana was one of the few people who made him feel happy; which was hard during the fall and winter months.

"Yeah! It is actually. She gave me, like twelve seeds..." He said in thought as he showed Jana the pouch. "Oh! Did I tell you about my meeting with her in the fields? It was beautiful.." Derek smiled warmly and crossed his arms. " I wish you were there to show the experience with me."

Derek laughed a bit, cracking his knuckles. "I guess it just slipped my mind? I don't know." It was true, he had forgotten to tell JK. There goes his absentmindedness again." She was so beautiful, just like the mythology books said..." Derek placed a hand over his heart at the thought of her. "I bet she's better during the Spring and Summer though."

He nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's true." Derek snorted, fighting back a laugh. "Crush? Yeah, okay. That's funny. No one likes me here. Well, not in that way at least." He stated with a slight sigh. "Well I gave her all the Mother's Day cards that I had made for her for the past seventeen years and we talked about immortally...things like that."

He sighed and shook his head a bit. "I'm pretty sure my dead help me with my first three."Derek stated before pulling out a seed from the pouch. The seed was a gold color, almost like corn. "I wonder what these are though...." He mumbled, examining the seed for any answers.

"Uh..." Derek looked around him, checking for the letter that came with it. He finally found it under some green wrapping paper and handed it to her. "Uh, maybe it's on the back of this." He stated and cracked his knuckles.

"Powers? That's so cool!" Derek squinted his eyes, trying to read the fine print. "Uh, it says here that each seed came be used once to produce a full grown plant. However the plant that you wish to grow must yield some type of produce." After reading the note, Derek raised an eyebrow. "This sounds cool. Wanna try it out?" He asked Jana Kay with a slight smile on his face.

Derek gave himself a mental face-palm and nodded quickly. "Of course! I should use these wisely. How many are in the pouch? Twelve? Yeah I better be careful with these." He laughed a bit. "But honestly, I can't wait to try one out."

"Heck yeah! Let's do it!" The son of Demeter hopped up from the bed and placed the pouch of special seeds underneath his pillow. He grabbed his coat and headed out the back door of the green cabin. "I hope you're ready for this."

"The onions smelled wonderful dear sister." He smiled at her teasingly. "Oh, did those blueberries stains ever come out of that beautiful white blouse you had?" Derek countered as he pointed to the earth in front of him. Soon a pea plant grew in front of him.

"Let's get it, Posion Ivy!"
