Chris orbed himself and Rose to the edge of the forest. They'd spent most of the night dancing and talking, finding out as much about each other as possible. "When can I see you again?" he asked, causing Rose to blush. She leaned up and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "How about tomorrow? Just go where there are flowers or trees and call for me" she said softly as she turned and skipped into the woods.
Her heart sang as she headed toward the glen where her sisters lived and she spun in a circle, dancing still. As she reached the clearing, Lilly saw her and skipped toward her, giggling lightly as she took her by the hands.
"Tell us, what did you see?" she asked, drawing Rose closer to the rest of their family. "I went to P3 and met the Chris Halliwell! We danced and I had this drink that tasted like strawberries" she said, getting into the story. "He dropped me off just now and we made plans to meet tomorrow." Her sisters were happy for her and pulled her into a dance, when suddenly a chill swept through the star-lit clearing.
The newer ones continued with her dance until Lilly said with a shaky voice "The Ancient Man has awoken, something is wrong!" Rose was frightened, for she knew this wasn't good. "What should we do?" she asked Lilly, who, as one of the original wood nymphs in the San Francisco forest, was their leader. Miranda, the other one, had gone on another mission to recruit more nymphs from other parts of the world.
The dark-haired nymph closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of the forest, finally saying, "There are people in the forest, they need to be rescued. They are angering him, but I am unsure why. Rose, you must fetch Chris and bring him here, we need his help." Rose understood and nodded, heading into the tree line, fading from view. She flew through the trees, practically invisible, finally fading completely out of sight as she reached the border of the woods.
