Garden

[Phantomess of Secrets]

Where beautiful flowers bloom in the spring and a dreamland of snow is made in the winter.

Alexandre made sure he wasn't seen or followed and finally he made his way toward the rose bed, cut a pure white rose off the bush and smelled it's sweet aroma, then he cut off all the thorns swiftly going back to the dark damp place where they resided.

Violet stepped out into the garden, this had been her ritual to do before every preformance. It relaxed her and to her was her good luck charm. She simply strolled viewing the flowers and humming the song she would have to sing soon.  

[Msoriginaljester]

"Miss Violet? It's almost time! we need to get you to the stage!!!" she turned then hurried off to do more work.

Juliette walked through the garden and took in the sweet smells from the flowers. There was a stone bench under a few trees which concealed it in shadow, a perfect place to rest. She sat down and shivered as the cold stone came in contact with the back of her legs. She should've worn a longer dress but she hated ruining them underground.
She thought back to the opera where she could not even hear things muffled.
'What's happening?' she thought confused.  

[Phantomess of Secrets]

Ema stalked through the shadows and into the gardens, careful for any patrons who stayed behind from the performance. Seeing no one she breathed a sigh of relief and waslked over to the roses and sat on the stone bench waiting for Alexandre and Lilly to arrive.  

[Msoriginaljester]

Alexandre looked around and seeing as no one was there and he could see Ema he lead Lilly, letting go of her hand " Hi Ema, so...ah...about Lucienne..." he began.
He explained he couldn't get Lucienne alone and on what he should do now....  

[Phantomess of Secrets]

"Did you talk to her?" Ema asked as she gently led Lilly over to the stone bench where she could see and smell the beautiful flowers.
"Are you okay Lilly? There is a breeze tonight," she asked Lilly. Not only had she created a close bond with Juliette, she and Lilly had also become close friends.  

[Msoriginaljester]

Alexandre blushed "no, there was a girl there with her....what was her name...? Alicia? yeah it was Alicia..what a weird name...then again why would Lucienne name her cat after a town??oh! is Lille here?" he looked around and after blushing he cleared his throught and apologized  

[Phantomess of Secrets]

"Oh yes I know of Alicia. She's a sweet girl but acts cold to others, no one knows why," Ema said. When Alexandre turned his attention to the cat she shook her head and smiled.
"I suppose you will have to try again," she said as she took a seat next to Lilly.  

[Msoriginaljester]

Alexandre sighed "okay....wgat do you think i should do to woo her?"  

[Phantomess of Secrets]

"Again Alexandre, I can not answer that for you. I'm not like normal girls like Lucienne," Ema said with a sigh.  

[Msoriginaljester]

Alexandre looked at Ema desperately, fell to his knees begging "please Ema give me some advice! I have no idea how to woo her, i need help...." he whispered not caring if Lilly saw him in this state... but he hoped she wouldn't tell the others  

[Phantomess of Secrets]

Ema sighed and looked between Lilly and Alexandre.
"She seemed to like the white rose when she recieved it," was all she said. She honestly couldn't help, "Juliette knows a little more about romance than I becuase she's older and according to her, her mother was a hopeless romantic," she continued.  

[Msoriginaljester]

Alexandre jumped, hugged her "Ema you're a genius!" he cried
then he ran over to the white rose bush to pick a bouquet of white roses and cutting off their thorns, he took a blue ribbon from his pocket, turned and asked
"how do they look?" huge smile spreading from ear to ear he thought he might've looked like a dork but he thought that was okay
