Gertrude's Story

Chapter one: Roses can Hear Your Heart and Soul

"You'll grow nice and lovely!" Haruki said to the roses she was watering. "Oh! Yes! You'll be so pretty that we'll sell you!"

Haruki's mother laughed. "Do you believe that roses can hear you Haruki-chan?"

"Yes Okasan!" Haruki said putting a strand of her green hair behind her ears. "Roses can hear your heart and soul. You and Chichue told me."

Haruki's mom closed her eyes and smiled. "That's my girl. When we have our own floral shop we'll make plenty of money with you around!"

"I don't want just any flowers Okasan! I want roses! A rose shop!"

Haruki's mother tilted her head to the side.

"Why just roses Haruki?"

"Because, they can see your heart and soul! Remember? Won't customers like that?"

Haruki's mother kissed her daughter's cheek. "You are so smart. Your father would be proud."

Haruki's father died a year ago from a disease. But he always dreamed of having a rose shop.

"Roses!" He would say. "Roses that are just as sweet as my Haruki!"

Ever since, Haruki's dream was to own a floral shop—strictly selling roses though.

"Of course he would! Chichue wanted roses! Roses as sweet as me!"

"Nothing is as sweet as you Haruki, not even roses."

Haruki giggled and watered another rose bush. "I know Okasan. Dad was joking!"

絶望

Haruki was a very high spirited 13-year-old. She didn't have many friends, but she was still happy. She would talk to rose bushes instead. Telling stories and dreaming about her own rose shop.

She could imagine the shop painted red, like the most beautiful of roses. And she could imagine the happy costumers buying all the roses that could see into the soul.

"Roses are the greatest!" she would sing on her way home from school.

"Roses are— "Haruki saw her mom on the porch, rubbing her temples.

"Okasan?" she said bounding up the steps. "What's wrong?"

"Bills Haruki." Her mom replied. "Nothing a girl like you should be worrying about though."

Haruki nodded and walked into her bedroom with a sad frown on her face.

As she lay down, she could already see the rose shop disappearing form her brain.

Her mom had bills to pay; how could she possibly be able to by a rose shop?

Then, and idea sprung in Haruki's head. She'd make more money for her mother, that was what!

She leapt from her bed and ran into the backyard.

She plucked the fullest and most beautiful of roses before finding a ribbon from the cabinet and tying them together to make a wonderful bouquet.

Then, she did the same with other full beautiful roses until she had ten bouquets, all tied and ready to sell.

Rose shop here I come! She cheered in her head.

Haruki pushed a table from the garage and put her bouquets on it, then she drew a sign saying: ROSES! YEN EACH!

She pasted it on the front of the table and waited for costumers to pass.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited…

Haruki gasped in delight when she saw a girl on a bicycle.

"Hey!" Haruki called.

Curious, the girl stopped.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Do you want some roses? They see into your soul!" Haruki said.

"They what?!"

"See your heart and soul." Haruki repeated.

The girl frowned. "Um—no thanks…another time?" and she rode away.

Haruki sighed and waited some more.

Five more potential customers came, but all left.

Just when Haruki was about to give up, a boy from her school came.

"Well," he said with a smirk. "If it isn't Haruki Rose Girl."

"Hi! Do you want a rose for your mom or sister or even best friend? They can see into your soul!"

The guy snickered. "Wow." He mumbled. "You are weird."

Haruki was slightly offended but continued talking.

"10.00 yen each!" she said pointing to the sign.

"Huh...I don't think so. Catch you later Rose Girl." The guy snickered as he walked off.

Haruki moaned.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and her bouquets went flying.

Haruki gasped in horror and tried to catch them but there was too many and they were too fast.

They then all fell on the road, just as a truck was advancing on it.

"Wait!" Haruki cried but the driver didn't hear, and he ran over the roses, crushing them.

Haruki gasped and her eyes became misty.

Her bouquets where crushed.

Just like her rose shop dream.

絶望

Haruki stared at the ceiling.

"I'm sorry Chichue." She whispered. "I don't think we can have a rose shop."

"You can, if I get in involved."

Haruki turned and screamed when she saw a cat like creature on her bed head.

"What are you!?" she squeaked.

"My name's Kyubey!" The creature said cheerfully.

"I can make your wish come true, Haruki."

Haruki's green eyes widened. "Really?" she said quietly.

"Yes! In return, you must become a Puella Magi and fight beings called witches."

"I'll do anything for a rose shop!" Haruki cried.

"Really?" Kyubey asked. "Okay. Is that your wish?"

"Yes." Haruki said. "I wish me and Okasan could get a rose shop!"

There was a searing pain in Haruki's chest and she cried out in pain as a green glowing object appeared.

"Take the Soul Gem Haruki! And your wish will be granted!"
