Blood Red Roses

I'm so proud of myself! I can't exactly remember the plot but I've done a lot of thinking on it! And although what the hell I was thinking is still a mystery to me, I DO remember why the title is what the title is though!
Disclaimer:
It had been a week since the boy's meeting with Dr. J, and Heero still hadn't seen Elizabeth. It was beginning to really get to him, knowing that she was there, so close and real, but never seeing her. He began to find excuses to be able to walk through the halls, hoping to catch just a glimpse of her. But as the days dragged by he saw not a sign.
Although he thought that he did once see Orry walking through toward the Doctor's office, but even he wasn't sure if he had imagined it. He was not inclined to go check her rooms or to ask the doctors. He finally resolved that the doctors had lied to him to calm him down and that there was not hope of seeing her again… until:
Heero and the others were gathered in the lounge when they heard the raw sound of running feet on medal floors. The boys weren't really concerned about it until a teenage girl, around their age flew through the door, almost loosing control and landed heavily on the couch. She grabbed a newspaper and hurriedly began to try to open it, tearing a few pages in the process. But the boys-who are obviously not stupid-pretty much figured out that she, whoever she was, was using it as a cover, or a semi-protective shield… okay, a NON-protective shield.
She glanced around the room quickly and said, breathing heavily, "If anyone asks, I've been in here for about the last fifteen minutes, docilely reading this evenin's newspapa!" With just the slightest hind of an Irish accent.
A few seconds passed in which the girl seemed genuinely intrigued in the news before a very angry doctor stormed in. "Elizabeth MARGERET Jeniseans! Am I going to have to lock you up in solitary confinement for the rest of the day?"
"Well it depends, sir."
"Oh? On WHAT may I ask?"
"Well, whetha I did anythin or no!"
"WHETHER OR NOT YOU DID ANYTHING! THE KITCHEN IS IN SHAMBLES!"
"I really truly, have no idea what you may be talkin' abou. Sir, I assure you, I've been in this room for abou the last thirty minute!"
Dr. J turned his attention from the innocent looking and rather beautiful girl on the couch to Heero. "Has she?" Heero was at a loss for words. After Liz's 'death' he had never lied to Dr. J. He was in an emotional debate. He had known Liz well, but like one knows one's sister, not deeply. He wasn't sure what her reation would be. But he knew what the doctor's would be if he found that he was lied too.
"No."
Doctor J beamed at his news. During the days that Liz was around, Heero had been somewhat more disobedient than from what he had become. When compared to most boys, he was very obedient and a very pleasing child, but doctors just found that when he had no friends and nothing to do, he performed better. Another of the reasons the doctors had gotten rid of Liz.
Heero looked over at Liz through the corner of his eye. She was just sitting there, her mouth hanging open looking like her best friend in the world had just shot her. Heero's heart gave a leap, she remembered him! She recognized him! Surely she would forgive him! Liz would understand that he couldn't lie to the doctors, of all people, she would understand his change.
Heero could barely remember, but once Liz had had a female friend. Heero couldn't remember what her name was… it started with a K though, maybe it was Katie… or Katharine, oh well. He could remember them spending a lot of time with each other until K-whatever had started to go out with someone. When that happened, her whole attitude began to change and over-all she was turned into a bitchy-slut.
Liz was devastated by her friend's change, and had tried to forgiver her… Heero couldn't remember what had happened to her, she had gotten pregnant, he knew that much, but as far as her relationship with Liz had went, he wasn't so sure. But Liz, or at least the Liz of the past, didn't get mad easily, and was quick to forgive. That was one of her downfalls though, in the world of war.
"Y'know when I say thirty minutes I done mean it exactly to tha dot!" She had quickly recovered from the shock of the boy snitching. In times of old when she had basically run the base, no one would have dared do what that…creature had just done. Back then, she had been everyone's friend, everyone was on her side, though not obviously. Before being caged in that container, she had no problem doing what ever she wanted, nicking food from the kitchens and such, actually, if she asked nicely, the chefs would give whatever she wanted.
That's what had started the whole mess though, there was a new head chef, everyone else there she had remembered, they had all gladly welcomed her, but the new chef was clearly under the doctor's full command. They had gotten into an argument and he had started to throw foods, pots, pans… whatever he could get his grimy little hands on. It was all she could do to get herself out of there, she knew she would be blamed, he had seemed a man of high stature and influence.
Doctor J was just about to reply to her weak attempt to keep herself out of further trouble, when Orry came rushing in, "Ah, Liz, there you are, we need your help in the docking bay!" By that time Liz was standing up. She took a frightened glance at Doctor J, when he did nothing, she hurriedly brushed past him and out the door, not being stupid.
Doctor J sighed and just shook his head. The girl was hopeless.
Well, I wasn't going to out this just yet, but I figured, I should just wrap this chapter up while I'm working on it!!! I hope to post chapter four soon, but with me there's usually no such luck!!!
Carpe diem!
