Dawn illuminated the dark, vast woods; dappling the trees with golden beams of light. Joy and Mike, two friends, entered the wood, their faces lit with excitement. Warily, they made their way through the forest, Joy's cautious footsteps slowly in front. A blanket of lavender and lily of the valley enveloped them as they walked, and soon they ventured deep into the forest.

At first, the trees were alive with cheerful birds singing songs; but soon this symphony died and a serene silence spread like a mist through the woods, bar a few heavy drops of rain. The rain soon gave way to the sun and a spectrum of colour suddenly swept through the forest. Soft pinks and greens merged all around, a kaleidoscope of vibrant natural shades, accentuating the woods' beauty.

Mike and Joy weaved their way through the trees, hand in hand. As they progressed, hints of oranges and purples became visible in the distance, symbolizing a much deeper connection between the two young adventurers.

They eventually stopped in a clearing, where the sun shone brighter than ever before. The light revealed a single, old tree, standing tall in the field. Its bark was a deep brown, and it stood out against the backdrop of muted greens and yellows. As they stepped closer to the tree, they felt a magnetic pull, an inexplainable force that drew them together.

The tree symbolized the strength and connection of their friendship, and from that day on Joy and Mike held true to it. Every summer without fail, one was sure to find them walking through the trees, hand in hand; strong in the knowledge that their connection was eternal, even in the most beautiful of forests.
