Amazing Adventures: Month of April

April, the month of  awareness and bunnies, is special for those who celebrate its holidays and do so with their friends and family. There are instances when people celebrate their own traditions too and give it meaning. This is the case with Rosallia, who calls her friends and fellow Puerto Rican Knights to come to her home. It is unknown why, for she keeps it a secret until the time came for her to tell. It didn’t take long for them to arrive and they knock on the door which Rosallia answers and lets them in.

Rosallia:“Hey guys, wonderful day isn’t it?”

Miguel:“Yes, it is, but why are we called here? Not that I mind, of course”.

Rosallia:“Well, since this is April, I would like to celebrate a special kind of party and I invite you all to join”.

Manuel:“Que bueno! What kind of party is it?”

Rosallia:“Well, it’s a party that mixes this month’s events such as autism awareness, siblings day and Easter Monday”.

Owen:“Wow, that sounds awesome”.

Chamaella:“I would love to celebrate it”.

Rosallia:“Ok, first we begin by writing or drawing something for your sibling or parents if you don’t have any”.

The group of friends start making gifts for their siblings or parents. Owen draws a blocky cat with a horn for his younger sister, Chamaella writes a romance poem for her parents, Manuel makes a drawing of a muscular Okro lifting a giant rock with the words ‘For Mother and Father’, Miguel’s drawing depicts a superhero in red and white spandex standing over a defeated bad guy and at last, Rosallia’s drawing features a short, colorful clown. After they finish their writing or drawings, they place it in where they can carry them and Rosallia speaks of the next activity.

Rosallia:“Alright everyone! Next up is guessing which animal, where I take out a card and you have to guess which animal is in the card!”

Chamaella:“That sounds like fun”.

Owen:“Gonna agree with you there”.

The knights sit around the living room, taking guesses on the animals that Rosallia has on the cards that she picks. They have their correct guesses on some animals, but they also have their losses, with Manuel and Miguel being unable to get any victories. Despite all this, they all laugh together like best friends and  they tell jokes to one another. They take a break for a moment and Rosallia went to her room, much to the other’s confusion and wonder. This didn’t take long, as their friend came back with plain eggs and paint.

Rosallia:“Now, with this paint and these eggs, we are gonna paint them and decorate them”.

Owen:“Oh, I like this activity!”

Chamaella:“Me too”.

Miguel:“Me three”.

Manuel:“Sounds fun to me”.

Rosallia puts the eggs and paint buckets in the large, wooden table and everyone starts painting. After some time of painting, everyone finished and presents their eggs. Miguel’s eggs are dark blue and crimson red while Owen’s are also dark blue and purple. Rosallia’s eggs are baker-miller pink and Bangladesh green, with Manuel’s eggs being auburn and aqua. Chamaella was the last to present her eggs, which are Banana yellow and bitter lime.

After these activities, Rosallia’s mother calls out to them.

Rosallia’s Mother:“Dinner’s ready!”

Upon hearing this, they go to the dining room, which has a large wooden table and its walls have flags of Puerto Rico and its coat of arms. Everyone takes a seat and wait for Rosallia and her mother to serve them food. Everyone eats dinner and have fun, talking to each other.

Manuel:“Man, this is great food!”

Miguel:“Can’t argue with that, the food is amazing mam”.

Rosallia’s Mother:“I’m glad to hear that, but you can drop the formality by calling me Rosa”.

After  some moments of dinner, Rosallia speaks.

Rosallia:“Hey, want to see something special?”

They nod in agreement and they follow her to a backyard with tons of grass, two chairs and the special thing she wants to show them. They see a flag with lights surrounding it, blue background and a bunny head with the autism ribbon for a tie. They all look at it with awe and do so for  a bit longer until Rosallia asks them.

Rosallia:“Do you all like it?”

“YEAH!”

They continue into the night, celebrating this special occasion on the month of April.

Here’s the story that celebrates this month and I wrote it as my way of celebrating those events, of which I forgot about two of them. So yeah, I chose to combine three of April’s events in one story by having Rosallia host the party and the activities that they did. This is also NOT part of the main Amazing Adventures story.

That is all from your writer, Mister O and have a good MONTH of APRIL(get it?).
