Winter came late that year. The Autumn Sprites had collaborated with their Summer cousins and chased their colder winter relatives back to the secret caves.
They frolicked and played through November and into December, chasing away Winter at every chance.
Soon, though, the plants, trees, and even the animals began to complain. It was not that they disliked the warmth, but this was their time of rest.
They went, finally, to the Mistress of the Sky. She apologized for not paying attention and sent Summer and Autumn to rest, putting everything back in place.
Until the next change of seasons.
