Leaves were turning brown, red, and yellow while animals were preparing to hibernate on a very gloomy fall day. What made this day different wasn't the fact that it was the day before snow would begin to fall, but that Apollo, a very kind and passionate Bowerbird, was preparing to ask his perfect match, Nova, to spend the rest of their lives together. He decided to pick flowers for her in her favorite color, white. Because these birds live in the wilderness, they don't propose with rings, they use anything they can find that is meaningful or relates to their lives. For Nova, white reminds her of her favorite season, winter. Most birds fly south for the winter, but Nova stays back and enjoys the glorious snow fall right outside the tree she has her nest in. Apollo planned on proposing to Nova, he didn't realize that Nova doesn't go south for winter. He was planning on proposing in the air as they took off to the South. Nova and Apollo met at the place where all the birds begin to leave for winter. Nova went to say goodbye to her friends and to ask Apollo to stay for the winter with her. Unfortunately, Apollo hates the winter season. He always wished the day to leave for the south would be in september so he wouldn't have to endure any cold weather. Apollo met with Nova about two minutes to takeoff. Apollo gave her the flowers right before all the birds opened their wings to prepare for the very long journey, but Nova kept to herself as she talked to Apollo. Apollo questioned Nova on why she wasn't getting ready, and she finally told him that she would remain in their little valley and asked if he would stay with her. Apollo didn't know what to say. The rest of the birds were about to leave and Nova was staying back no matter what Apollo said. Realizing this fact, Apollo quickly decided to go with the rest of the birds to the South. He couldn't stand the cold to the point where he left his true love at the takeoff area without any explanation. Nova dropped the flowers and flew away to her little tree. All Nova did that winter was watch the snow fall and Apollo stayed in his tree regretting his decision the entire winter season.
