A Zimma?

Ella: * humming *

......................

Me: Hmmm......

Me: Uhhhhh...... : /

Me: Hey, El?

Ella: Huh? Yes Rosie?

Me: How's the egg doing?

Ella: Oh, just let me check.

...................

Ella: Yep, it's fine. Nice and warm.

Me: Right. Um, Ella?

Ella: Yeah?

Me: Do you know what kind of egg this is? Because it looks a lot like a spider's egg from

what I can gather.

Ella: Oh no Rosie! It's not a spider's egg! It's a Zimma's egg!

Me: A Zimma? Never heard of them before.

Me: * typing * Zimma. Let's see now.

Me: Um...well I don't think that's what we're looking for.

Me: Let's try something else.

* click *

Me: Hmm....Uh Ella? Is this a Zimma?

Ella: Let me see.

Ella: Oh no! That's definitely not a Zimma!

Me: Well that's pretty much all that came up.

Ella: I guess Zimmas mustn't be common in this dimension.

Me: They live where you come from too?

Ella: Oh yes! My people keep them as pets all the time!

Me: What do they look like then?

Ella: Um, wait a second and I'll show you.

.................

* scribble *

.................

Ella: Done!

Me: A bush is going to hatch out of that egg?

Ella: Huh? A bush? Oh, hang on!

* scribble *

Ella: There!

Me: Ah yes. Now it makes more sense. Can I see?

Ella: Yeah, here.

Me: Hmm. Well I suppose they look different. Do they only come in green?

Ella: Oh no! They come in all sorts of colours!

Ella: They're really cute too. You'll see, it should hatch any day now.

Me: You know that?

Ella: Of course. I can sense all life, right down to the tiniest ant, and this Zimma is well and truly living.

The Egg

So we finally had a nice break from the freezing rainy weather we've been having. 

Or at least, enough of a break for Ella to beg me to let her play outside. ^_^

Elle: * humming *

.......................

Ella: * sigh *

Me: What's up El?

Ella: Oh, just the sky, it's beautiful.

Me: * chuckles * Not quite what I meant.

Me: Be careful.

Ella: I wi-

Ella: Aaah!

Me: Ella!

Ella: Ouch.

Me: You ok?

Ella: Yeah, I think so.

Ella: Hey! Look Rosie!

Me: What?

Ella: Eggs! And I think they might be.......oh.

Me: What's wrong?

Ella: They've all been smashed.

Me: Oh, honey.......wait isn't that one still whole?

Ella: * gasp * Yes! You're right!

Ella: It's the last one.

Ella: Rosie! Please! I have to keep it! I have to help it hatch!

Me: But Ella, we don't know how long it's been out in the cold for, it could be-

Ella: No don't worry! It will hatch soon!

Me: How do you?......Oh, never mind, ok you can keep it.

Ella: Thank you Rosie.

Me: It's a shame that all the other's were smashed.

Ella: Yeah.

Ella: Don't worry little one. I'll protect you.
