"You look so handsome tonight, Oscar" one of the ladies in garden said when
she saw Oscar coming.
"As do you, lady Hendrew" Oscar said and bowed. Julia Hendrew was a young english girl whom they (Oscar and Marie Antoinette) met in Vienna last year.
They had been there because queen was invited to bowl, by her long-time friend, Mrs. Hendrew, Julia's mother. In the bowl they met Julia, who now had a huge crush to Oscar.
"I hoped you would've shown me places" Julia said flirting.
"I am sorry lady Hendrew, but I have my duties. Maybe we can go horse riding before you leave" Oscar said and tried to smile.
"Oh, I'm not so fond of horses" Julia said and saw like she would soon be ill.
"Well, maybe we can do something else, but now I must go. Have a nice evening, lady Hendrew" Oscar said and almost ran away. She just hated people like that, she hated girls who were fond of HER.
Oscar went back inside and tried to find Marie Antoinette, when something caught her eye. A croup of people were at back wall, and they all tried to see something. Oscar went closer and saw a tall man talking with the queen. She went threw the croup, and bowed to the queen.
"Oh Oscar! We were just talking about you" Marie Antoinette said when she noticed her.
"We? Your Highness?" Oscar asked and lied her eyes to the strange man in front of her.
It was HIM!
"It is nice to see you monsieur De Jarjayes" André said and bowed to her.
Oscar didn't know what to say, so she just offered her hand and said answered: "You too, captain Grandier."

He had no clue what he was doing. He just shook her hand, and when he touched it, he didn't wanna let it go.
"Captain?" Marie Antoinette asked, looking Oscar like she would've gone mad.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I am captain now" André said smiling. He was clad that Oscar noticed his uniform's meaning.
"Really? I see so much soldiers, that I don't now the difference between major or a simple soldier" Marie Antoinette said and everyone laughed.
That's how it was for the rest of the night. Everyone were so interested about André and his captain title, that there were nobody who would've shown any interest to Oscar, but she didn't mind. She were satisfied, just to watch André in the middle of the crowd. He looked so comfortable, that Oscar couldn't help wondering: was that really André? What had happened to him? She remembered him as the shy boy, who hated bowls, and hated attention. But now...now he acted like that would've been everything he had ever wanted.
She noticed that André smiled to her, so she smiled back, but after that she thought it would be best for her to leave. She checked the guards, looked around few times, and went threw the glass doors to the garden. She stayed at the balcony few seconds, before heading to the roses. She touched them and got a cut to her finger. "Ouch!" she said and putted the finger to her mouth. She closed her eyes and started walking. She didn't now why, but the feeling that came when she didn't saw where she was going, was...absolutely...amazing!
Everything was so clear. The smells of the flowers, the laughing and music from the palace and the wind on her cheeks and in her hair. Suddenly something hit her. Cold, and...WET! Oscar opened her eyes and tried to figure out where she was.
"In the fountain. I am, in the, fountain. Isn't this just grate?" she said slowly and moved her hands in the water. She closed her eyes and lied back, so that se were completely under the water. She were just going to get up to breath, when something lifted her up from the fountain and putted her on the ground.
"Oscar! Oscar please say something!" André yelled and opened her uniform little, so that she could breath.
"André, calm down! I'm not dead you idiot!" Oscar yelled and opened her eyes, just to see André's tiers on his cheeks, before he wiped them away.
"André..." Oscar whispered and gave her hand, so that he could help her up.
"Taking a midnight swim, are you?" André asked and tried to laugh. I will not show that I were afraid for losing her, he said to himself.
Oscar looked at him, gave him a little fake smile, and headed to the gate.
André ran to her and started walking beside her.
"Fersen says 'Hi'" Oscar said but didn't look at him.
"What?" André asked and gave her a wondering look.
"Count Fersen. He left yesterday, and I promised to tell you that he says 'Hi'" Oscar tell him with a voice that is used for children.
"He left? Why?"
"Does it matter why? He's gone, and that's all for that."
"Are you going to miss him?" André asked, and were afraid the answer. Oscar stopped and turned to him. "You really don't know me do you André? Why on earth would I miss HIM?" she said and continued walking threw the gate, to the grand yard and over that to the stables.
André hold on to the gate and again tiers started to fill his eyes. "Don't know you Oscar? I'm probably the only person that really knows you...lady De Jarjayes" He whispered and watched her to get on the saddle of her horse, and riding away.
"I know you're mad at me Oscar. But I will handle that tomorrow, tomorrow everything will be different, tomorrow...you will know everything" he said before heading back to the palace.
"As do you, lady Hendrew" Oscar said and bowed. Julia Hendrew was a young english girl whom they (Oscar and Marie Antoinette) met in Vienna last year.
