Violins and Roses - Chapter 3


It has been three days since Blue Star University has been closed for spring break. Roses had
promised her parents, that she would come and visit them on weekends, and for holidays. She
would go back to school in two weeks.

Roses begins to realize that her vacation was rather hectic so far. But she looks on the bright
side. At least she got to meet Quatre. She is also glad to be with her parents.

As Roses walked through the livingroom, to go into the kitchen, something made her look towards
the wall. There, she sees a photo of her and a small boy. The small boy, was her older brother,
James. She picks up the picture, and remembers that it was taken on her fifth birthday.

Looking at the picture, made Roses realize even more, how much James really meant to her. When
the family received the news of James' death, she was only sixteen. Now, she would have to make
it through her second semester in college without him.

Putting the picture down, Roses finally made it into the kitchen.

"Oh, good morning, Roses."

"Good morning dear."

"Good morning, mom, dad."

after the exchange of greetings, Roses finally took a seat around the table. On the table, she
saw a breedable pile of pancakes, and a pan of scrambled eggs. Then Roses picks up her plate,
and received some of the delicious food.

In a matter of minutes, everyone sat at the table, and enjoyed breakfast. Then the phone rang.

"I'll get it," Roses said voluntarily, as she placed her nearly finished glass of orange juice
on the table.

"Hello?"

"Who is this?"

"Oh, hello Quatre," Roses said. "Mom, dad, it's for me. I'm going to take this into the living-
room.

"Okay," Mr. and Mrs. Muller said in unison.

"What? The guy is caught?" Roses asked, rather surprised. "I don't believe it."

"Do you mean that you are asking me out?"

"Really, Green Square Park?"

"What time?"

"O.. okay, then I guess I'll see you this afternoon."

After Roses hung up the phone, she ran back into the kitchen to tell her parents the amazing
news.

"Mom, dad, guess what?"

"What is it dear?"

"Mom, they caught the man!"

"What?"

"I don't believe it."

"And in two days!"

"Say, what is today?"

"Today is Sunday, dear."

"I guess that I did a good job at getting the colonies' attention as well as the earth's," Mrs.
Muller added.

"Did your friend tell you this?"

"Yes, dad. His name is Quatre."

"Did you say Quatre?"

"Yes, that's right. Why?"

"Well it just so happened, that Mr. Winner has a son named Quatre. But you were too young to
remember him."

"That's right, dear. Mr. and Mrs. Winner had a son named Quatre Raberba Winner. You do remember Quatre?"
Today, he would be your age."

"What a coincidence," Roses said to herself silently. "And I do remember Quatre."

Everyone was in total silence for a while.

"Anyway, Quatre says that he will pick me up at 12 o'clock this afternoon. Maybe you will get
to meet him."

It was exactly 11:37 A.M., when Quatre finally arrived at a flower shop. This flower shop, is
located just a few blocks from where Roses' lives, as well as Green Square Park.

"Excuse me ma'am, but may I ask how much it costs for a bouquet of roses?"

"That will be $5.50."

"Thank you," Quatre said, after paying the salesclerk and picking up the roses. Then suddenly,
he began to feel nervous.

//I hope she likes these beautiful flowers. I can't wait to see her.//

"So mom, how do I look?"

"Oh, Roses, you look beautiful."

"Thanks, mom," Roses says, as she hugged her mother.

"ding dong..."

"That must be him. I'lkl get it. Why don't you show your father how beautiful you look."

"Okay, mom."

When Mrs. Muller opens the door, sure enough, it was Quatre.

"Hello, is Roses here?"

"You must be Quatre. Why don't you come in?"

As soon as Quatre came into the house, he saw Roses standing in front of her father. Something
made her turn around, and there he was.

"Oh! Hi, Quatre."

"Hello, Roses. You look great. Here, these are for you."

"For me? Thank you Quatre. They're beautiful!"

"So, you're Quatre," Mr. Muller said, as he got up from the couch to shake Quatre's hand.

Quatre then turns to Roses.

//This boy looks kind of familiar.//Mr. Muller thought, as he was staring at Quatre.

"It was really nice to meet you, Quatre," Mrs. Muller said. "Why don't you join us for dinner?"

"Sure, Mrs. Muller. Thank you."

"Okay, then let's go Quatre."

After they left, Mr. Muller approached Mrs. Muller.

"Opal, there's something that I need to share with you."

"What's that?"

"I believe that the boy who was just here, was Quatre Raberba Winner."

"Well to tell you the truth, he does look kind of familiar," Mrs. Muller said thoughtfully, as
she placed her hand on her chin.

As the hours passed, Quatre and Roses enjoyed themselves, as they took a tour throughout the
park. They had fun feeding the ducks, buying souvenirs, watching the animals at the zoo, and
engaging in plenty of other activities. The result, was that they both got to know each other.
