"A Blue Rose"

Epilogue

The rose is a unique flower on its own. It can mean many things by its color. For example, the red rose can signify love. The black rose can mean death or, farewell. An orange rose can signify enthusiasm, desire, or fascination. However, the rose that caught my attention is the blue rose.

The blue rose doesn't occur in nature. They aren't naturally made. Blue roses were at first created by dyeing white roses. Much like its mysterious origin, the blue rose means mystery. An appreciation for the puzzling, the inexplicable is expressed by the blue rose. A mystery that cannot be fully unraveled is the blue rose. A person who receives the blue rose is the subject of much speculation and thought. A complex personality that does not allow easy interpretation is what the blue rose indicates.

The blue rose can also symbolize the impossible, or the unattainable. Since the blue rose itself is a rarity in nature, it stands for something that is hardly within one's grasp, an object that seems too difficult to be achieved. Thus the blue rose is admired and revered as an unrealizable dream.

If the blue rose can be define as impossible then, is it truly impossible to make a blue rose without dyeing a white rose? What does the word impossible really mean? Not capable of being accomplished? Humanity laughed at the idea of flying. They said that it was impossible. Yet, the Wright brothers made an invention that was capable of letting man fly, the airplane. Things that are impossible, are they truly unrealistic? If you put a lot of effort maybe, the impossible can become probable.

The saying goes; anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Chapter 1: Another Job

The sun was setting.I awoke from my slumber and got out of bed to get dressed. I decided to just wear the Night Class uniform. After I was done getting ready, I started walking towards the front door of the Moon Dormitory.

The headmaster asked for me to come to his office. He said that he had another job for me. He wanted me to come to his office so he could give me more information on the job.

I tried to be as quiet as I could so no one in the Night Class would wake up. I especially didn't want Aido to wake up. If he woke up then, he would have surely insisted on accompany me. I didn't want him to come. It wasn't because I didn't enjoy his company. The reason was that today was Saturday. There aren't any classes onSaturday or Sunday. If Aido accompanied me, the Day Class girls would be screaming or yelling out his name. Really, he craves for attention. If he came along he would have surely be flirting with the Day Class girls.

Finally, I reached the front door. I turned the knob and exited out the door. I closed the door behind me and started to walk towards the Academy.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind me. "Yuuki-chan let me come with you!" From the sound of the voice it had to be Aido.

I turned around and it was indeed him. Aido was also wearing his Night Class uniform. He closed the front door and ran up to me.

"Hey, where are you going so early in the morning?" he asked.

'Morning, really?' I thought.

I didn't look at him. "I'm going to see the headmaster so just go home." I snarled.

He started to chuckle at my behavior. "Someone's grumpy in the morning for having to waking up early." he teased. "Besides, I'm coming with you."

I stopped walking and glared at him. "I don't want you to come. You'll just draw a lot of attention. The Day Class girls are going to go crazy and keep on screaming your name. " I snapped.

He smiled a bit from what I said. "Jealous?" he teased again.

I blushed a little. I quickly turned to face the other way. I didn't want him to see me blushing and be amused by it. However, I don't think I turned quickly enough because I could hear him quietly chuckling. "I'm not jealous!" I screamed. I could see him trying to hide a smile. "Before we reach the school, you're going home." I told him. I started to walk again, still embarrassed. He began to quietly chuckle again and soon followed behind me.

We finally reached town. Aido was still following behind me. We walked in silence. Then he broke the silence. "I'm coming with you." he said quite confidently.

I ignored him and started to walk again but Aido caught my hand. I tried to break away but I couldn't. He had a firm grip on my hand. I glared at him. "Let go, Aido." I warned.

He slyly smiled. "What are you goanna do?" he teased.

I tried again to break free but his grip wouldn't budge. "Aido!" I yelled. He just smiled and chuckled at me struggling to get free.

Suddenly, I felt stares bore into my back. I stopped fighting his grip and looked around instead. People had gathered and were talking about Aido and me.

For example, a lady was talking to a man next to her. "Tsk-Tsk-Tsk. That couple must be having a fight. Maybe they're breaking up." the lady said.

I blushed a little, embarrassed.

Then, I listen to a man who was muttering under his breath. "Have your fight somewhere else. Don't just do it in public." he complained. He began to shake his head in disapproval. "Sheesh, kids these days. Don't they have shame?"

I redden.

Aido was silent. He just stared at me. His face was expressionless. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. The people's criticizing didn't faze him.

I got a bit irritated at his silence and the fact that the reason why the people were talking about us was because of him. So, I broke the silence first. "Let go." I said in a hard voice.

He stayed silent.

"Aido." I pleaded.

His eyes were still expressionless. After a while, his mouth twitched. It looked like he was trying to suppress something. His mouth kept on twitching for a while. Suddenly, he flashed a wicked smile.

Hastily, he pulled me towards him. He wrapped his arms around my neck. He had trapped me into his embrace. He then lowered his head and whispered into my ear. "Let me come, orI'll do something that'll make them talk even more." he threatened.

The crowd grew loud. Satisfied with their reaction he smiled. Aido's actions had aroused their criticism.

"What are you going to do?" I whispered rather angrily.

He chuckled a bit then he answered me. "How about a kiss?" he teased.

My face became really red from my blush. Half of it was because I was mad and the other half was because I was embarrassed.

I began to panic. "That'll make them talk even more!"

He smiled again his wicked smile. "I know, so what's it going to be?"

I squeezed my eyes shut. "Fine, you can come." I growled.

Aido stopped embracing me. He smiled at me gleefully. "Then, let's go see the headmaster!"
