Neath the boughs of the Orchard is the home of every Dibbun during the summer - the Strawberry Patch - full of different bushes of soft fruits, the ground is covered in soft straw.
An old Wheelbarrow lies in one corner and from behind it a lone snore of a sleeping cellerkepper can be heard.

The Skipper (and Giligan from the Island. lol) approaches the fruit patch to steal a few morsels. He licks his lips. The otter plans to take a bucket of strawberries then sneak by the kitchen to steal some whip cream. Maybe he would even 'forget' about the strawberries and eat the cream alone. Yum. (now I'm drooling. mmm... whipcream) This sounds all so satisfiing but the only problem are the dibbuns. I do not like dibbuns, he thinks. Not fun as much as everyone likes to think. Pad softly and get out fast, Lynn.

A slightly-built young mouse is smiling. The sticky evidence of swiftly consumed berries can be observed around his mouth. A twinkle in in his eye. In his hand, a collection of freshly gathered fruits from the orchard. In his sights is a target, about to get a sweet surprise ... in the face. The dibbun stifles childish laughter and prepares to launch his ammunition.

The otter hears an evil to his ears laughter. Oh, joy, I'm caught, he thinks sardonically. He finds the source of the sound of wicked mirth. He stares horror-stricken at the fruity dibbun. AHHHH!

Stealth drops out of a tree right in front of Lynn further scaring him. "Hiya Lynn whatcha yellin' for?"

*Lady Amber is on her first visit to the orchard. She arrives at the strawberry patch via a tree branch, and drops down, positioning herself between Lynn and a little fieldmouse.* Lynn, stop screaming. You're a fully grown otter for Goodness Sake! *She turns to the dibbun, sticky fruit marks round his mouth, and smiles at him kindly.* Please excuse Lynn, he's not so fond of the little ones. Still, it perhaps wasn't such a good idea to try to shoot fruit at him, he was obviously going to catch you. I'm Lady Amber by the way, the healer here. Who might you be?

Lynn mumbles under his breath, "Stupid little kids..." even though he doesn't say the nicest things he doesn't really hate them.
"Now I was really just over reacting for the fun of it, Amber. But... when are about to get creamed with fruit its not the most pleasent experince.

Lynn, learn to accept. We were all kids once, so try to tolerate them! And perhaps if you were a little kinder towards the little ones, you wouldn't find yourself about to be pelted with fruit!

Delaney sticks his tongue out of his mouth and waves his paw from his nose at the otter, turning in an instant to wear a face of sweet innocence as the Lady squirrel turns back to him. The young mouse wipes his mouth with the back of a small paw, and pulls on a look of remorse.
"M'sorry lady bushtail, m'am," he mutters. "But what is more pleasant than getting a face full of berries ?" he asks of Lynn, mischeviously. "Tastes good," he promised, flicking a stray strawberry up from the ground with his tail. One of his paws had crept behind his back. and caught the fruit, which he immediately hid, distracting the elders with a wink.

*Lady Amber smiles warmly at Deleany. Lynn had better be on his guard!* Of course, I totally agree. A faceful of berries would be very tastely. But unfortunately, Lynn feels differently. I'd stay out of his way for a while if I were you.

*Lady Amber is horrified to see Lord Flamepaw with a switch. She positions herself directly in front of young Delaney, and begins screaming at the badger.* Lord Flamepaw, how could you! He was only having a bit of fun, and it didn't come to anything. Lynn saw to that. How you can even thing of hurting him, I do not know! The strawberry patch is meant to be a fun place for little Dibbuns, not some kind of pirson. Now get out of here, before I give Moonwind and Stealth a demonstration of archery!

*Lady Amber runs after him, and picks up Delaney. She holds him firmly, and glares at Lord Flamepaw.* He has done nothing wrong. The point of this is is to have fun, so don't go punishing him. Delaney will go back to the stwarberry patch, apologies to Lynn, and that'll be the end of it. You will leave right now, and only come back when you're in a better mood. Do I made myself clear?
