Let's fly in the most beautiful of sky
This is certainly a try for the future!
Your prayer shines within your eyes, it overflows your smile
We trust our wings to the current, there's no going back now
The miracle of us meeting by chance is our pleasure line
We promised that, didn't we?
Let's fly in the most beautiful sky
We'll try no matter how many times we fall!
Seizing tomorrow while we get hurt
I will never forget you telling me so kindly and strongly
English lyrics to Tsubasa wa Pleasure Line (Chrono Crusade theme)
The warm summer sun rose higher in the cloudless blue sky. A soft breeze gently blew across the green hills. The grass danced quietly around the three orphans' feet. A young blond girl with French braids and the bluest azure eyes ran ahead of two boys giggling. Close behind her was her brother who looked a lot like her.
"Rosette wait up!" he called.
"No! You need to hurry up, Joshua!" the blond called back to her brother. "Pick up the pace Chrono!" Rosette yelled back to the third boy in the back. Little did she know that this would be the last day for the three to play together at the Orphanage. The third boy had long free flowing violet hair and red slitted eyes. His ears were large and pointy and gave him a demonic look. The third boy Chrono Tsubasa, panted.
"Cant...go...any...faster" he gasped out.
"The lakes just ahead!" Rosette exclaimed. As they ran over the hill a clear lake came into view.
"Thank God!" Joshua coughed dryly. Rosette quickly kicked off her shoes and ran down to the sand. She spun around with a cry of happiness. Joshua and Chrono stopped at the sand line. Chrono leaned over with his hands on his knees and was breathing heavy as Joshua fell over on his back.
Rosette caught sight of the two boys. She threw her head back and gave a hearty laugh.
"You guys are weaklings!" she hooted.
"Hey!" Joshua hissed. Chrono stuck his tongue out at her.
"Oh please Chrono! We're nine years old now! Don't you think we're a little old to be sticking tongues out at each other" Rosette exclaimed with a grin.
"Aren't you a little old to be wearing diapers to bed" Chrono grumbled. Rosette let out an angered scream. The purple haired boy flinched, immediately wishing he hadn't opened his mouth.
"CHRONO! You idiot! You swore you wouldn't tell anyone else!" she screamed. She raced over to the red eyed boy and grinded her fists into his head. Chrono yelled and tried to wiggle out of her iron grip.
"There isn't anyone else to tell! Everyone knows already!" Chrono shouted.
"That's because you told everyone!" Rosette screamed digging in harder. Chrono hollered in pain and finally managed to wiggle out of her grasp and dashed behind Joshua.
"I didn't tell everyone!" Chrono yelled fearfully as Rosettes shadow fell across the two boys.
"Then who was it?" Rosette growled impatiently. Joshua blushed and Chrono coughed accusingly into his hand.
"Joshuaaaa!" Rosette growled raising her fists up. Joshua yelled and sprinted into the lake. Rosette had already been in mid swing as Joshua fled, causing her to smack Chrono. Chrono yelled, a bump forming on his head. He ran after Joshua who was splashing through the lake. Rosette couldn't help but laugh at the boys fleeing from her. Once the two boys where waist high in water they stopped and looked back at Rosette fearfully.
"You guys are hilarious!" Rosette exclaimed. Joshua and Chrono scowled at her.
"Rosetteeee!" Chrono whined.
"Quit your whining!" Rosette giggled.
"You're so cruel!" Chrono whined his ears drooping slightly.
"Gah! You never learn! You're whining again! Whining won't get you anywhere!" Rosette exclaimed.
"Come on in Rosette! The waters fine!" Joshua called trying to change the subject.
Rosette grinned and jumped in splashing water everywhere. Rosette burst into laughter. Joshua and Chrono were soaking wet. Chronos face was cover by his long smacked down purple hair.
"You guys look ridiculous!" she laughed.
Chrono and Joshua exchanged a look and splashed Rosette with water. Rosette shrieked and tried to shield herself with her hands.
"Stop it!" Rosette exclaimed splashing them back. Thus began World War Three.
The three dragged themselves out of the water and collapsed onto the sand laughing. Putting her arms behind her head, Rosette closed her eyes and let the sun dry her. Chrono took off his jacket and flung it into the grass. Joshua closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Hey Chrono?" Rosette asked.
"Hmm?"
"I've been thinking..." Rosette began.
"Congratulations!" Chrono exclaimed.
"Shut up Chrono!" Rosette snapped.
"Sorry Rosette. Go on" Chrono said with a chuckle.
"I've been thinking" Rosette shot him a glare. "What if we don't get adopted"
"Don't think like that Rosette. We'll be adopted out to wonderful families who will love us like we love each other" Chrono said firmly.
"Ok but what if we're separated?" Rosette asked. Tears welled up in her blue eyes. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or Joshua. You guys are all I have"
"Rosette, I promise I'll always be here. You and Joshua and I will always be together" Chrono said. He gave Rosette a quick squeeze. Rosette smiled at him.
"Thanks Chrono" Rosette said. She smiled. Chrono had been her best friend ever since she arrived at Seven Bell Orphanage two years ago. Chrono had been there before her. From what others said he had been at the Orphanage since he was five. His parents had died mysteriously. Several people had thought about adopting him but had been scared by his looks. Chrono was always cheerful and never let anything get him down. He always knew what to say to cheer Rosette up. Rosette couldn't imagine not having him around.
Chrono blew his hair out of his face.
"Chrono, why do you always forget to put your hair up?" Rosette asked.
"Dunno" Chrono shrugged. "To much work I guess."
"Why don't you get it cut?" Rosette asked.
"I like my long hair! My mother always used to braid it for me" Chrono said with a sad smile. Rosette smiled softly at him. She pulled an extra ribbon from her pocket.
"Let me braid it for you then" she said. She sat behind him and began to braid his messy hair.
"Rosette, you don't have to" Chrono stuttered.
"I know I don't but I want to!" Rosette exclaimed giving him a light slap. A comfortable silence over lapped them. Rosette finally finished off his braid with the yellow ribbon and smoothed his hair down. It didn't look half bad.
"Thanks Rosette" Chrono said.
"Your welcome Chrono" Rosette smiled softly and leaned her head against his shoulder.
All the children in the orphanage were asleep. Mrs. Jean, the head of the orphanage, was cleaning up the kitchen. A soft knock sounded at the door. Mrs. Jean hurried and opened the door.
"Oh I'm so glad your here!" Mrs. Jean said. "Please come in"
A young couple walked in with a smile. Behind them stode two girls. The oldest had short black hair. She looked to be 16 years old. Beside her was her sister who had long red hair. She looked to be 15 years old.
"Its such a blessing you wanted to adopt even with children of your own" Mrs. Jean said.
"We really wanted to adopt. You see, I was an orphan as well and I know what it feels like" the mother said.
"Bless your soul. Have you decided who to adopt yet?" Mrs. Jean asked.
"Yes. We like the little purple haired boy" the mother said smiling at her husband. They held each others hands sweetly.
"Chrono is a wonderful little boy. Most people are scared by his looks but I assure you, you are making a good choice" Mrs. Jean with a smile.
"Yes. He seemed very sweet" the father said.
"Is it possible that we could pick him up now?" the mother asked.
"Yes. I'll give you the paperwork and I'll go wake him up and help him pack" Mrs. Jean said standing up. She handed the happy couple some papers and headed upstairs. She let herself into Chronos room and shook him gently. His red eyes blinked open questionly.
"I have great news! A family has come to pick you up! You need to pack quickly!" Mrs. Jean said with a smile. Chrono sat up half asleep.
"Is Rosette and Joshua coming too?" he asked rubbing his eyes slowly.
"No sweetie. They'll be adopted out soon" Mrs. Jean said apologetically. Chrono was about to protest when Mrs. Jean interrupted him "This couple is really loving and excited. Rosette and Joshua would want you to be happy"
Chrono frowned. He didn't want to leave his best friends but he knew that they had a skim chance that someone would adopt all three of them. It would cause less pain for them all if he went. Maybe Joshua and Rosette would have a better chance of being adopted out together if he left. Everyone looked right past them when they saw them with a strange looking purple haired, red eyed, pointy eared boy.
Chrono quickly packed the little possessions that he owned. He picked up a pocketwatch on a golden chain. It was the only thing his parents gave him. He looked at it and handed it towards Mrs. Jean.
"Can you please give this to Rosette?" Chrono asked quietly.
"You can say good bye if you like" Mrs. Jean said quietly.
"No. I don't want to wake them up. Just tell her I'll always be with her." Chrono said.
"I will! Let's go downstairs and you can see your new family" Mrs. Jean said. They carried Chronos small bags down stairs. The happy couple looked up from a conversation and smiled. The father stepped forward to take Chronos bags.
"These are light. We'll have to fix that, buddy" he said. The mother kneeled in front of Chrono and smiled.
"Hello darling. We're new family" she grinned from ear to ear. Chrono smiled politely.
"I'm Chrono" he said. He looked to the two girls.
"Well let's get you to the car. I'm sorry for the short notice but we were so excited. Your room is ready for you. You can unpack in the morning and we'll give you a full tour of the house" the mother said.
"Honey, we can talk in the car. Let's get him to the car. I'm sure he's tired" the father said.
"Oh I'm so sorry! Let's go to the car sweetie!" the mother exclaimed. Chrono nodded. He turned to say bye to Mrs. Jean but was silenced by a tight hug.
"I hope you have the best in life. Spread your wings and enjoy it" she whispered in his ear. Chrono smiled.
"Thank you Mrs. Jean" he chocked out. Mrs. Jean had been the closest thing to a mother he had. She had taken care of him for four years. Mrs. Jean rubbed his head one last time and let him go, tears brimming in her eyes. Chrono smiled to her and walked out with his new family. He got in the car and gave Mrs. Jean one last wave. The car disappeared away from the orphanage, taking Chrono with it.
Rosette woke up in the morning. The sun was bright in the sky. She rubbed her eyes. She looked at the digital clock. It blinked 11:47. Rosette blinked her eyes in surprise. Chrono always woke her up around 9:30. He must have overslept. She slowly rose from her bed and stretched. After getting dressed, she slowly walked downstairs. Joshua sat glumly in a chair by Mrs. Jean who was cleaning up from breakfast.
"Hey Joshua" Rosette said casually.
"Rosette..." Joshua began standing up. Tears brimmed his ocean blue eyes. "Chrono left"
"What?" Rosette exclaimed.
"Now now Rosette. A very nice family came and wanted to adopt him." Mrs. Jean said.
"He left us! He...he...that IDIOT!" Rosette exclaimed. She balled her hands into fists and tried to hold her emotions. She felt anger, sadness and betrayal bubbling inside her. He had promised they'd always be together. He said they'd be adopted together. He lied to her.
"Rosette" Mrs. Jean said softly. "He told me to give this to you and to tell you he'd always be with you" Mrs. Jean held out the pocketwatch. Rosette let out a single sob and gently took the pocketwatch. She knew it was the item he loved the most and it was the only thing he had of his parents. She stormed to her room and slammed the door where she stated the rest of the day.
Chrono hadn't forgotten her. He had given her the pocketwatch. He wouldn't forget her. She knew they would eventually meet again, they had to didn't they? Rosette Christopher's life was always destined to be an epic story even in the future. She closed her hands around the pocketwatch.
"I'll find you Chrono. I won't forget about you" she said to herself. She slipped the pocketwatch around her neck and looked to the sky with a determined look crossing her features.
…***…
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
