On my way home from school, I saw a flower growing in a meadow. I wanted to watch it grow forever. But I knew, someday, this flower will die alone. And now, for some apparent reason, my heart just hurts.
"I dream about a flower every night."
"That must mean something CeCe", said Rocky, a brunette and CeCe's best friend.
"Really?"
"Sure. Dreams reflect inner longings", said Rocky's brother, Ty.
"Longings?"
"CeCe! Maybe you could show that flower to some one! I'd want to do that", said Rocky excitedly.
"It's not real..."
"Do you think your flower will get hurt?" asked Ty.
"Yeah, maybe."
"Then... Show it to someone you love! You say, 'It's really pretty' and he'll say 'Yeah...' Then, you both water it!" said Rocky.
"Really?"
"You know what? I'd grow a whole garden of flowers and give them all away."
"Deuce! What would you do?"
"Give me a break, Ty. It's just a dream. Who cares about flowers?"
"That was mean!"
"Deuce doesn't notice stuff like flowers."
"Going home Ty?"
"I'm waiting for Deuce. He forgot something. Alone today?"
"Rocky's tutoring kids."
"Want to hang out until Deuce gets back?"
"Sure... About that flower... What would you do?"
"Who me? Can't tell."
"Why?"
"I know what that flower really is."
"You do? Tell me!"
"It's love, CeCe."
"Love?"
"Yeah... Don't let that flower die CeCe."
That flower is so tiny and precious. Anything can break it!
"Sometimes, I wish that flower would die. Maybe then I'd be happy."
"But why?"
"Because I'm scared!"
"More dream stuff?" asked Deuce, coming up from behind them.
"No. Love stuff."
"Shut up Ty! It's a secret!"
"It's okay. I don't care."
He doesn't care?
"Uhm... CeCe?" Deuce said, scratching his head.
"Yeah?"
"I forgot to tell you. But if I found a flower, I'd show you for sure."
Again, from the Japanese book I read. It's called ChocoMimi Volume 2 Story and Art by Konami Sonoda.
