Experiment: The Rose, herein known as "The Subject", is under meticulous observation.

Hypothesis: Previous behavior has set a precedent of rivalry and violence. The question then is if a change of behavior from aggressive and cruel to kind and submissive will change the perspective of the subject.

Experimental:

Plan A.0-A.20 – Find various ways to be submissive and very apologetic

Plan B.0-B.20 – Be extraordinarily kind

Plan C.0-C.20 – Dote, bat eyelashes, and significantly pay attention

.

.

Plan Z.0-Z.20 – Don socks, knit afghans, buy hideous sweatervests

Observations:

Day 1 – The subject appears to be taken aback by our new plan. Implementation process complete. Do not allow complacency. Continue on to Plan A.

Day 5 – Did not see subject until today. Possibly avoiding us after our previous engagement where implementation occurred. Proceeded with Plan A and was once again greeted with surprise. Continue on to Plan A.1.

Day 26 – Plan A.20 backfired when the subject was wrestled away by the Fiery One. Reminder: poison jasmine tea at the shrine. All previous encounters show that the experiment is a possible success.

Day 35 – Backtracked today. The introduction of a failing paper made months of work obsolete. Moving on to Plan B.

Day 42 – The answer to the universe! Unfortunately, not the answer to the hypothesis originally proposed. Once again, the experiment was a failure upon the introduction of a worn latch on a sandal. Unfortunately, the subject had an unfortunate accident with a shoe. The fix: Ask Big Mama for news shoes. Onto Plan C.

Day 155 – Plans C – Z have failed. Perhaps the hypothesis is suspect? Return to original question.

Day 156 – Decided to forgo it all. Immediately ignore the subject and detest everything about him.

Day 156.1 – Strangest thing. The subject asked us on a date.

Day 157 – Logbook destroyed.
