The producer walked through the park, invigorated from his meeting with Heather. He pulled one of the photos of the new idols and looked it over. "Aurora Ortiz. She has a pretty healthy look. Now I just have to find her." As he was walking out of the park, the producer came across a small greenhouse. "That's a nice looking greenhouse." He looked at his watch and again at the greenhouse. "I guess I have a minute or two to spare."

The inside of the greenhouse was lined with rows of flowers of all sizes and colors. Every last blossom was the picture of health. He was about to leave when he caught sight of a young Latina girl. Her dark curly hair was tied up in a ponytail. He watched her as she was tending to the flowers.

[La la la la la~ Drink up, sweeties.]

She seemed to dance as she moved from flower to flower.

[You are all looking so beautiful today. Don't you worry.~ I'll take care of each and every one of you.]

[Those flowers really do look beautiful.]

[EEEEK!]

The girl spun around, her face blushing a deep red.

[I'm s-sorry. I d-didn't think anyone else was here. . . I'm so embarrassed.]

[Why are you embarrassed.]

[I didn't want anyone to see me like this. I always act so silly in here.]

The producer smiled gently at her.

[You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You didn't look silly at all.]

[Huh?]

[You really like these flowers right? They make you happy. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.]

[Really?]

[Without a doubt.]

Aurora squealed with delight.

[Thank you.]

[Don't mention it. Did you plant this bed? They all look very well cared for.]

[Actually, I planted all of the flowers. This is my own private garden!]

[Wow! That is incredible!]

[Technically, it is a public greenhouse, but no one else ever comes here to take care of the flowers. So I ended up raising everything here.]

[You are really impressive, Ms. Ortiz.]

[I'm not that special. . . Um, have we met?]

The producer chuckled a little.

[No. This is our first time meeting. Although, I have been looking for you.]

[What do you need?]

[You like to dance, right?]

[I love it! I love it just as much as I love these flowers!]

[That is good to hear. Have you ever danced on stage?]

Aurora looked down a bit dejectedly.

[Not really. I wanted to though. I even applied to a talent agency.]

[Yeah. 765 Productions received a fair number of applications when they started their global idol drive. Do you think you have a shot?]

[Of course I do! I'm the best dancer in my whole family and my whole school! I would go straight to the top, if only I could get a chance!]

[That is a great attitude to have. I think you will do just fine.]

[What are you saying?]

[What I'm saying is that it is time for you to make your debut. I'm your producer.]

Aurora stared for a moment as the thought sank in.

[Wh-WHAAAT? MY PRODUCER?]

[It's true. You are now a rookie idol.]

[This . . . This . . . This is just too much. I can't believe I'm really going to be an idol.]

[It is incredible.]

He handed Aurora a business card.

[Stop by the office later, after you finish taking care of the flowers here. You'll probably want to meet your fellow idols.]

[I will. I won't let you down, Producer]

She returns to tending the flowers.

[Okay, sweeties. It's time to celebrate. I'm breaking out the special fertilizer for you tonight.]

The producer left the greenhouse with a strong smile and a feeling of contentment. The joy Aurora felt closely mirrored his own. "I really am glad I got into this business." He left the park to find the third girl whose life would soon be changed.
