I'll never forget that night.

After I fell off from the tree branch, I landed in a pile of dead leaves. Good thing they were there, I didn't know what would've happened if they weren't. I could've been smashed but that was the past and I needed to focus on what was happening right now. I burst out of the pile of leaves that had saved my life, gasping for air since I couldn't breathe in there, and I was nervous because not only had I almost died, but also I had no clue where exactly I was. It was really dark, and I couldn't see much. I walked out and brushed myself off, even though I was still covered in dirt, and no leaves were on me. I looked around, but from what I could see, there were nothing but dead leaves and a bunch of dark, gloomy trees. Yeah, getting revenge on Tybalt went well, now I had to find a way to get home and safely. Still trying to get my bearings in check, I then saw some moonlight which would hopefully provide me with a clear path to get out of here and back home to the Blue Garden without getting into anymore trouble. Normally, I would happy about getting into more trouble, but I was tired and I really wanted to get home.

Once I was in a better position to see the moon, I walk forward to the edge of the treeline that I was standing next to. I wanted to see if I could find out from where I'm standing a sort of idea as to where exactly I am. If I could find something tall to stand on, I could calculate the route back home, and it will be like I was never here at all! I found a branch that had probably fallen as I was breaking my fall, and placed my hand on it and began to look around to find a way out. But as I started to look around, out of nowhere, came a shadow running even faster than the wind, and maybe if I hadn't looked that way, maybe would've gotten away without me even noticing they were there. I not only felt the wind, I also heard footsteps and saw someone running across the huge brick wall that was in front of me. Why hadn't I even noticed that there before? I froze for a moment, and then I got curious and looked up at the wall. Some part of my mind told me that it was only my imagination and that I should continue trying to find the way home, but I knew that I never imagined anything, and I was convinced that I was not the only person here tonight, sneaking around.

The mysterious figure I decided was real, and I also decided to follow it. The figure ran faster and quieter than I've ever seen anyone, hopping over a few stray leaves that were on the wall. I couldn't contain my curiosity anymore, even though my Dad always told me that that would get me into trouble if I ever let it happen. But this time was different, and besides, it's not like I wouldn't put up a fight. So still wanting to see what this figure was, I climbed up onto the ledge that was near the trees and managed to look out from under a big leaf as the figure once again ran past me at light speed. Honestly, whoever it was, maybe it would be classified as a Ninja. It was running faster than even I could, and I'm actually a warrior. But then again, what did I know? I wasn't even sure what this figure was, but that was soon to change.

I got off the ledge and quickly followed where it was going in case I would lose it. I had never been so distracted in my life on what's truly important, which was for me getting home, and yet now, I didn't even care. I followed its exact path so that I could see what it was. I was hoping it would stop so I could get a better look at it, because honestly, looking at something while it's moving at the speed of lightning is not easy. I'll let you figure out why. Even though I was intrigued by whatever it was I was chasing, I knew that I still had to be invisible so that I wouldn't be caught. And this time I didn't have Benny to give me away so following the thing was easier now. I was hidden in the grass, following my mystery person without being seen by them. And then I carefully found my next hiding place, in some leaves, and when I parted them to look, I could see better since I was at a better angle and the moon was very bright. I then watched as my mystery person triple flip and land gracefully as if it was nothing but difficult.

And then I got an even better look at my mystery person as it stands slowly, and I knew immediately it was a Girl Gnome as the moon silhouetted behind, and I couldn't even see her face. She was completely covered in black, but I just knew it. I felt my eyes widen and felt my breathing just stop that I even forgot to breathe and as she starting running again, I couldn't take my desires anymore. I had to meet her, and I also wanted to know why exactly she was out in the middle of the night. I had a reason, I was lost. What her reason was I was about to find out.

Almost as fast as she could run, I ran as fast as I could and I followed her, running from my hiding place and ran to the other side of the Greenhouse so she wouldn't expect hear me following her. I had to find some way to climb the wall of the Greenhouse to get to her, I had to, but I didn't even know why. I hadn't been this determined in my whole life to do something other than getting revenge on the Red Garden. There was just something about her that drew me to her. I decided to climb up the holes that were in the walls even though I was sure they would probably break off when I walked on them, but that wasn't important. What exactly was she doing, trying to climb up here? I managed to haul myself up to see her again, and this time she was crawling towards something. But still, I could tell her face was showing, and I couldn't even see it. Am I going blind or what? What the bloody hell is wrong with my head? I wasn't even thinking straight!

I then learned of what she really was after, the rare flower on top of the Greenhouse, a flower called a Cupid's Arrow Orchid, and we starting to come to get at the flower from opposite directions. I just kept trying to see her face but instead all I saw was her trying to get the flower and my desire to grab her hand.

She finally reached the flower the edge and began to straighten up, her right hand was reaching towards the Orchid and just as I reached the peak of the roof as well, I was overcome with my desire to grab her hand and without even thinking, I reached my right hand forward, and just as her hand closes around the flower's stem, my grabbed hers.

And as I grabbed her hand, I felt something happen, a feeling that was different than anything I had ever felt before. And then I looked at her, and saw her completely for the first time, my eyes widened and everything in the world became brighter and it came to a stop as I looked at the girl in front of me. She then looked at the Orchid in confusion at first and then looked up at me and she stopped and looked at me and her eyes widened in shock as well.

I couldn't even think clearly, all my mind was focused on was her. I forgot about everything, Tybalt, the Red Garden, getting home, how worried Benny and Mum were, and getting revenge tomorrow. I honestly forgot to breathe, because, nothing at all mattered except her. The world just completely changed and everything just came to a complete stop.

To me, the entire world was gone, and only she and I were left on it.

I had never seen any girl as beautiful as she was, it was scary how beautiful I thought she was. I took in every single part of this girl, I couldn't even look away from her. Every part of her face was just perfect, just everything, there wasn't a single scratch on her face, everything was just perfect. From her eyes to those lips I wanted to kiss so badly, there weren't any words to really describe how beautiful I thought she was. Now that I could see her completely now because she wasn't running at light speed, I now could see that her body was covered in complete black with the exception of her arms and now her face with some sort of stick hanging on her back, it was some sort of black fabric but honestly to me it didn't even matter, it didn't change anything for me. She was still the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, and she was unlike any of the girls I had been with in the past. I just had never felt this feeling before, I still didn't know what was wrong with me, it was like if I looked away it would be a crime for me, if I tried to run it would just kill me. I just couldn't even get away from those eyes I had fallen in love with. I had never felt this way before.

Those eyes of hers, were unlike anything I had ever seen in my entire life. Those eyes of hers, were a beautiful shade of green like shining emeralds and they sunk deep into your soul and in them, you could honestly just die looking in them and you wouldn't be ashamed. In them was complete love and peace, and when I looked into them, they honestly took away any hate and anger I had had tonight and it didn't even matter to me that it was gone. I just was lost in those eyes and in her in general, and she seemed to be lost in me as well, and I couldn't help but smile at her since I couldn't even think about anything. My eyes were still in complete shock at what was in front of me, but this time, I smiled for the first time in my life that was actually not of anger or thinking of something that would take down the Red Garden. And she smiled back at me, sending something through my soul. We just continued to stare at the other, still holding the other's hand, and just completely being lost in the other's eyes. I guess something important would've happened to me at this point, but I wouldn't have even cared. Nothing would've kept me from her.

I still didn't know why I was so unlike myself, and again, I wasn't even sure I cared.

I was brought back to reality when I heard a cracking noise and her eyes widened and she let go of my hand and fell through the window. I was shocked and tried to grab her hand again. Luckily, she was as stealthy and quick as she looked running, and managed to grab hold of what was left of the broken window with one hand. I then moved towards the window, and was relieved that she was alright. She looked up and me, and I offered her my hand which she took and it made me happy. I was in another world with only her with me, and as I grabbed her hand, my feelings were still the same. She was the only thing I saw, nothing else mattered. I pulled her back up, but without thinking I lost my balance fell backwards and I took her with me, still holding her hand. I managed to stop halfway down the roof, and without even realizing it, my arms were wrapped tightly around her and hers were tightly around me in a very intimate hug. We looked at each other for a few moments before she pushed herself off of me. She rubbed her arm, looking away from me, but honestly I still was really out of it, lost in her, and taking in anything I hadn't seen when I first beheld her. She then began to speak.

"Ummm... You're probably wondering what I'm doing on the roof of your greenhouse," she said, gesturing a lot as she spoke. "It's just I... I... Well I thought no one lived here..." And she cringed in embarrassment.

That voice sent shivers through my soul and down my spine, it was just so beautiful, like an angel. Speak again, was all I wanted to say to her. I realized that I had to say something, even though I had no idea what to say to her, because I was still just lost in her.

"Uhhh..." Come on, Gnomeo say something! "They don't... I mean I don't... this... this isn't my garden..."

Wow, that was really smooth. I couldn't even speak right with this girl. Either way, she didn't seem to notice.

"Oh!" she said, sounding relieved. "Oh, well that's good, because I just came to get that orchid!"

My heart sort of sank when she said that. All she cared about was this stupid flower? That meant that as sound as she got this flower, she would leave me, and who knows where she lived? I wasn't about to let her go that easily. I needed as much time with her as I could manage, and if this flower was what she wanted, she was going to have to win it from me. I wasn't going to show her that I wanted her to stay with me, so I was going to play around with her.

"Oh!" I said staring at the flower, and raising an eyebrow to her, playfully. "This?"

"Yes."

I wasn't going to let her have it, but I couldn't let her know that. I wanted her to stay here with me, maybe forever if that came to it. I needed to annoy her, so that she would want the flower even more. I sniffed it with a sly smile, and looked at her again.

"I don't know..." I said, placing my right hand on my hip and looking at the flower. "I think I'm gonna have to keep a hold of this one..."

I smirked at her, and I knew I'd gotten her angry, it sort of made me want to smile.

"WHAT?" she said, and it made me smile even more. "Well, I saw it first so why don't you just hand it over?

She held out her hand and smiled. Yeah, it's not going to be that easy.

"Well I GRABBED it first," I said cockily, even though I knew very well that we grabbed it at the exact same time. I tossed it from one hand to the other. "Possession is 9/10th of the law. Well, if you want it, come and get it!"

I smiled slyly, inviting her to the competition for the Orchid.

"Alright." She then kicked the window that she was standing on, and it caused the flower to launch from my hand and into hers. "Thanks."

Wow, she's smarter than anyone I'd ever met. I was shocked, she was a quick thinker, but that didn't mean she was a good friend with gravity, for as soon as she caught the Orchid in her hands, the window tilted in the wrong direction and she fell once again, and I took my chance to take the Orchid once again from her. I leaned on the window and looked down at her, grateful that once again she didn't fall.

"Nice Greenhouse, eh?" I said.

She smiled while still holding on with one hand.

"Oh, yeah," she said. "You should see it from here."

I scoffed but smiled.

"What? And miss this view?"

She then reached up and grabbed the window that I was standing on causing me to fall, and in an attempt to save myself from falling, grabbed the window and dropped the Orchid in the process. She grabbed the Orchid as she held onto my boots and dropped onto a nearby pipe. Yeah, I'm not giving up that easily. Once she landed, I think we both knew it was going to break and so she quickly walked across the pipe, and I landed on it too causing the Orchid to fall out of her hands and it was back in my hands again. I wasn't being mean, I just wanted her to stay, but I didn't know why.

I then started to play around with her.

"Who's your Gnomie?" I said playfully.

She looked annoyed, as if she had no idea what I was talking about.

"Who's your Gnomie?" she asked.

The pipe then broke and I fell and the Orchid was out of my hands again. I just barely managed to grab ahold of what was left of the stupid pipe that almost killed me. I watched as the rest of it fell to the ground, and I was relieved that it was the one falling and not me. I then looked back up at her, and she was once again holding the Orchid in her hands and was holding onto a lamp and smiling at me slyly.

"Who's your Gnomie, now?" she said, throwing the lamp to me, and began walking away.

And I grabbed the lamp, and raised myself back onto the pipe and laughed mischievously, still holding onto the great way to get the Orchid back from her, and she didn't even know it.

Hard to get, huh?

I always did like a challenge, and I wasn't going to let her leave that easily.

She ran carefully along another pipe hanging from the ceiling, the Orchid still in her hand. And as she smiled, it made me think that she wanted to stay as much as I wanted her too.

"HEY!" I yelled, as I swang with the lamp and took the Orchid back again, but as I knew her, she was going to find some unusual way of getting this thing back. And she did.

I finally found out why she had that thing was she had been carrying on her back this whole time, and she pulled out the fishing rod and snags the light I had, and succeeded in yanking me back. But what she didn't realize was that it was an incredibly old lamp in a very old Greenhouse that hadn't been used in years, and it began to fall as the attachments on the ceiling came undone.

She then dropped down on the pipe with one hand, and grabbed the Orchid once again from me, and then like the slick and arrogant girl that she was, she cockily waved it at me instead of actually being concerned that maybe I would smash at any moment. Well, that's who she is, and I like that. Once she had her sights set on something, she never let it out of her sight, just like me. And then the light came at her at light speed and she in quick shock and thinking let go as the lamp wrapped itself around the pipe that she had let go on. And again the Orchid left her, and this time gravity was not her friend but it caused her to land against some bags to break her fall. As for me, I didn't let go of my lamp, and it had saved my life and caused me to land without a scratch. I looked at her, laughing, and she was smiling too.

The Orchid then fell on the ground in between us, and I wasn't about to let her get it this time. We both ran forward but I grabbed it before she even caught up with me, and then, me being me, grabbed it and waved it playfully at her and ran out of the Greenhouse, and I heard her beautiful laugh and I heard her rushing to catch up with me.

I found a branch over a pond nearby and ran across it and turned around fast to see if she was still following me. My heart sank when she wasn't there, I wondered if she had left forever, and if I was alone now, never to see her again. I looked around for her, and she was there right behind me, and I had no idea how she'd gotten there but it didn't matter! She was still here with me! She grabbed the flower causing me to turn around, and we still continued our little game of getting the Orchid by Tug of War now. We grabbed onto it and then spun around so we were on opposite sides.

We then came closer together, and those eyes pierced through my soul, and it confirmed to me everything I felt for this one girl. Her hands weren't even on the Orchid, they were on mine, and I clutched those hands with my own. I had known, but didn't want to admit this ever, but I had fallen hopelessly in love with this girl. I didn't even know her name, and yet she's stolen my heart and had gone so far that I couldn't get it back, and I would give it to her and no other girl than her. I didn't want any other girl but this one that I had fallen for at first sight, and had given me feelings I had never known before. I still didn't even know what they were. I had forgotten all about how worried my family was about me, and quite frankly, I wasn't sure I even cared. I would stay here with her forever with nothing to disturb this moment ever. It was if as we belonged together, equally, and she agreed. Those beautiful green eyes of hers just made me forget the whole world was there at the moment, and I just couldn't control myself anymore. We smiled at each other and it was clear that our feelings were the same. We both leaned forward to kiss, and as we did, I just focused so much on the girl I loved nothing would've kept me from her.

And then as if something had planned it, the branch we were standing on made a snapping noise, and it broke, causing us both to fall in the water and the Orchid landed on a nearby lily pad.

The two of us fell to the bottom of the pond, and I knew that my disguise was completely gone and I couldn't see anything because of the dirt washing away. I felt myself hit the bottom, I began to look for her, and then I realized that her disguise was gone as well. I then saw her for what she truly was.

I looked at her, and then I looked at her hat, and saw the hideous blood color of it and she saw mine own, and we both screamed and backed away from each other. I almost kissed a Red? How could've I have been so naive? She was obviously trying to seduce you so she could kill you!

She the swam up to the surface, and then starting saying things I hated her saying.

"Oh, no!" she said, sort of insanely. "He's a Blue. Not a Blue."

I wasn't shocked to hear her say that, but it still hurt that she thought of me like that. Oh, what was I saying? She's a Red, I'm a Blue, our families have hated each other for as long as I can remember and she most likely was raised on that as well. And I didn't even regret anything that had happened between us. My feelings didn't change, and it was like they would stay forever. NO! NO, NO, NO! There is no way I could fall in love with a Red, why was I even thinking that I could fall in love with anyone? Why a Red? Those disgusting creatures that murdered my father. I'd fallen in love, and... NO! This couldn't be happening to me!

I then stupidly without even thinking, swam up to the surface and began chasing after her. Even though my mind was screaming for me to get as far away from her as possible, the thought killed me. I couldn't stay away from her. I didn't know why I kept chasing after her, but I did anyway, and it was clear that she was afraid of me, which was understandable. She looked behind her, and I saw the fear in her eyes as she kept running from me. I saw the hole that lead to the alley and she was so close to leaving me forever and going back to her garden and she raced out into the alley and for some reason she stopped. But I couldn't see why, and then I heard the person I hated most.

"Juliet!" Tybalt said. "You're not allowed off your pedestal, what are you doing out in the alley?"

I hid behind the fence as I realized who it was, I knew that if I made even the slightest noise, Tybalt would hear me and there was no way that I would be able to escape him as easily as earlier tonight.

"Well, I... I could ask you the same question Tybalt," she said, obviously trying to change the subject.

I knew why, and I knew that he and Fawn and everyone in the Red Garden were not very happy at me at the moment and another World War III between all of us was going to happen tomorrow. That is, if Tybalt didn't find me first.

"We're looking for a Blue Gnome, he's an ugly little fella. Got a scratch right here," Tybalt said.

"And his name's Gnomeo," Fawn added.

Great, now she knew who I really was now, and I knew that Fawn was with Tybalt and that meant the Little Red Gnomes were also with him. One against all of them, I didn't have Benny with me. Defending myself was not going to be easy.

"You haven't seen him, have you?" he said.

"Oh! Oh... um..." she stuttered.

She knew that I was back here, and I knew my fate rested in her hands. I just kept waiting for her to say that I was back there and to kill me for almost kissing her, and how I actually wanted to kiss her. NO! GNOMEO THINK CLEARLY! I prepared myself for her to rat me out to him.

"He sounds awful!" she said. "No, I certainly haven't seen him. I haven't seen him at all."

My eyes widened. What did she just say?

She could've just signed my death warrant and never would've seen me again, but she didn't. She lied to her own flesh and blood, and why? Just to protect me? A Red saved my life, and I didn't even understand why. I was happy she did it, but still I didn't even understand why.

"Well, lucky you," Tybalt said, and I didn't feel my urge to smack him across the face at that comment. "Come on, let's get inside."

I heard them start to walk away and I looked out from my hiding place to the Red Girl that was walking away from me, heartbreak in her eyes. The door shut, and I just looked at that door in a completely different way. I rested my hand against the fence, and looked at the door in complete content. I smiled.

"Juliet," as I said happily my new favorite name, my new favorite word, my new favorite sound, and my new favorite thing about the world. I learned my love's name.

It was the most beautiful sound in the whole world, it made everything else in the world sound so wrong as if they didn't have a purpose. It was all the most beautiful sounds of the world, in one single word.

I walked out into the alley, still completely lost in thoughts of her. I looked at both fences contently. She felt the same way about me? She had to have feelings for me or else she wouldn't have protected me. I loved Juliet, and it made me so happy. But then I remembered who she was and why there was no way that we could ever be together as I observed both fences.

"A Red." I said as I looked at my Blue Fence, my home, and everything right where I needed it. And then to the Red Fence, the color of blood, that held my father's killers, and the girl I loved.

My father would be so ashamed of me right now.

I Gnomeo, who had forbidden himself from feeling anything but anger and hate, had fallen hopelessly in love with a Red!

I told myself to feel regret, remind myself what would happen if I even tried to be with her, how no one would ever accept us, and think of so many reasons as to why I can't be with her, but I just couldn't. I was shocked as this, but if I even stayed away from her, I would rather die. And yet...

"Why of all things did she have to be a Red?" I asked myself.

My heart was torn in two, at the thought that the only girl I ever really loved was of the accursed Red Garden, and that I could never have her.


That's it! Hope you enjoyed it! I'm always nervous writing stuff because I'm afraid that they won't be good! So please go easy on me!

I hope it was alright. I was up all night writing this for you! I'm nervous again!

RIP 9/11. Don't forget to have a moment of silence today!
