They walked towards the sunflowers and watched as butterflies and bees swirled around them, heading for the same patch of large, yellow flowers. The heads of the flowers had lettering and symblos created inside the seeded-center of them, as teenagers often would pull out some of the seeds to spell out things, usually the initials of their own name along with that of the person they were dating, or sometimes the hovershoe symbol which looked like a sideways horseshoe with a horizontal lightening bolt crossing through it. Anarchy Girl started taking off seeds from a flower and Ed watched and tried to figure out what she was trying to create inside the middle of the flower. He said some guesses, which she just smiled at him and shook her head no. "A heart?" "The sun?" "An egg?" When she was done, the anarchy symbol. Ed laughed and she said to him "You do one now, I want to see what's on your mind."
Ed thought a minute as his fingers touched the seeds. Then he started pulling. "A kite?" she asked. He smiled at her and shook his head no. "A tree?" and then she was silent as the word, not the picture, appeared in the missing seeds he'd taken from the sunflower: YOU
