Crane walked into the experimentation room. There she was, now he needed to be nice. "Rosethorn, good work yesterday. I was reviewing your notes, and I noticed that you had some really good ideas."
"Wow, thanks Crane." Rosethorn replied, mentally reminding herself she needed to be nice to him. What can I say? "Maybe today we should work together, you know talk our ideas through before we try it." There you go Rosie. But a little voice in the back of her head, said Liar, you just want some time to talk to him!
"Okay, that's a good idea," Crane was thrilled. She wanted to spend time with him! Did she like him too?
They settled down to work. After about thirty minutes of pondering ideas and reviewing their notes, Crane had an idea. "Rosethorn, why don't we try mustard, with peppermint and olive oil?"
"Sounds good, but we need something to lessen the chemical reaction between the mustard and olive oil. How about some lilac juice."
"Yeah, I'll try it." (A.N.- i know corny, but it's supposed to be it that way because it's stupid what they're doing, k? good)
Rosethorn settled back down, hoping that this worked. She'd been working on this project for too long. It was very tiring, especially since Briar and Tris were mad because they couldn't help. Rosethorn still didn't know why Crane wouldn't let them come in to help.
Crane looked at the mixture willing it to work. He was tired, and by looking at Rosethorn, he knew she was too. He felt bad for dragging it into this, but he would have felt weird if she hadn't been there. They'd always worked together. Besides, and he hated to admit it, he needed her. He helped him come up with ideas.
He looked at her. She was looking over the notes trying to find another combination to work. He hoped they would find it today, but then he wouldn't get to see her. Well he could always come over just to talk to her and Lark, and even( if he had to) their students.
The rest of the day, they worked hard, finding many possible mixtures. At the end of the day, they left, hoping that they had found the cure.
Note (again)- long enough for ya?! By the way, i have absolutely no clue on what they're trying to find a cure for or whatever. Or even what this thing they're making is for! So Help!
