Dreamz gathered her stuff for school, as she usually did, slinging on her backpack, which contained all the school materials she had brought home. Once she was set, she put her earphones in and pressed play, music filling her ears as she stepped out of her apartment, making her way to the front entrance.
What met her... Took her by surprise.
A small pear tree, probably just old enough to bear fruit, sat in front of her door. On one of the branches, it's foot tied to the branch to keep it from flying away, was a fat bird that looked strikingly similar to the quail.
"What the fuck?" Dreamz muttered to herself, instantly taking her earphones out and approaching the tree. Tied around the trunk, she realized, was a crisp, folded note. Scrawled in golden letters on the front, was her name, "Dreamz".
Raising a thick brow, she untied the note and unfolded it, reading the message instead, written in the same fancy penmanship as the front.
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree
Dreamz refolded the note, glancing around with her brows furrowed. However, realizing she simply didn't have time to search for the culprit, she moved the "gift" inside, and made her way to school.
