Adjacent to the Central Salon, the rose garden is small but eligent. As you enter from the salon you are greeted by an arbor covered in Lady Godiva Climbing Roses. After you pass under the arbor to your left is a pebble path that leads to a secluded bench. On either side of the bench are two exquisitely shaped Moonstone Hybrid Teas Roses.
If you follow the right path it leads to the center of the garden via an intimate path which is covered by some Eden Climbing Roses, this path enters the center of the garden from the backside. The path straight in to the center of the garden is directly in front of you as you enter.
In the center is a large four tiered fountain. On each side of the square center are two benches. To the right is a small out cove with a curved bench shaded by some more Moonstone Roses. To the left is another path that forks the right fork leads to another wing of the school, while the left fork leads to a large enclosed wooden gazebo.
For the event a small table is in front of the curved bench which has some paper boats shaped as flowers and some votive candle. This way each guest may make a wish as they set their lit candle into the fountain.

 Ryuu was hiding out in one of the more secluded sections of the garden. What do I do! I have to confront her eventually over all of this. If I confront her soon. She wont suspect Arai. Which would be good. Ryuu was pacing back and forth. Why is she doing this to me! She used to be sweet when she was little.
Ryuu sat down on one of the benches and picked one of the roses. Playing with it by rolling the stem between his index and thumb he thought on. This is my last year. Maybe I should just quit. I'll join some other club for the remainder of the year. Then at least I can be with Yukimi. Ryuu dropped his head. But my grandparents would want that! Well at least the quitting part.
"Grrah!" Ryuu cried out but quietly enough not to be heard. "When did things get so complicated!"
Ryuu's phone rang, he picked it up, "Hello?"
"Oh good you answered." Came the voice on the other end.
"Grandma?" Ryuu asked puzzled.
"I wanted to catch you before you got too busy at the ball." Ryuu's maternal grandmother continued. "I'm worried about you Ryuu. You've become very distant recently. Your grandfather and I would like to speak with you."
Ryuu was slightly peeved, "Why? So you can scold me?"
"Calm down Ryuu. Come out to the front we're in our limo. It will only take a moment."
Ryuu took a deep breath Here I go. he thought. "No."
"No isn't an option!" The voice over the phone changed this time it was his grandfather. "You've done enough damage. Don't make this worse than it needs to be. We'll be done in time for your stupid club ball!"
Ryuu's voice began to shake, "Y-yes s-sir."
"That's my boy." The line went dead.
Ryuu got up and slowly walked out of the garden to the front. Leaving the flower on the bench.

  "Don....I really should pick a flower and stick it into your hair..." cooed Jon.
Don shook his head. "Now, why would you do that Jon?" he whispered back.
"Because..." Jon leaned in closer to Don with a white rose stroking Don's cheek, "That way I would know it was you...you're the only one who could hold onto such beauty"
"Oh, Jon...." Don whimpered looking away
"Don...."Their girl audience screamed.

Ryuu returned to the Rose Gardens with a very pale face. He saw the twins and smiled, I'm glad they are having fun.
"Hey Don, Jon," Ryuu tried desperately to seem happy, "Are you two keeping these lovely ladies from going indoors?" He teased.

Jon who basically had wrapped both his arms around Don from behind rested his chin on Don's shoulder. " May....be. " he answered back is twinkling eyes. "What are you up to? I see no one with you. Playing loney Prince, tonight, m' Lord?" he asked playfully.
Don looked at Ryuu, " You alright, Ryuu? You look a little pale. And not just because of the moon light. " he added poetically.
Here was a little bit of hushed and hurried chatter from the far corner, and occationally a little yelp or squeal of excitement sprung out into the darkened garden.
"Are you calling me a Miser? Because not one time in this semester have I ever been stingy with money-or cheatful."
"Noooo!! That's not what we mean!!!" whined several girls. There was a loud fwap! and apparently the man got playfully hit with something.
" Oh! Ow...that...hurt...." the male's voice and the chatter getting louder.
"Oh no!! You hit him on the cheek!! Ariel!! Did you forget that Beastie punched him?"
"I'm sorry!!!"
"It's alright, I was only teasing." he said smoothy, his voice was now reconisable. It was Terrence.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I just got back from talking with my grandparents." Ryuu smiled at the young women, "I have yet to meet up with my regulars. They normally come in right when we welcome everyone it seems."
Ryuu called out to Terrance, "Hey Terrance are you ready for the entrance yet?"

Don and Jon wrinkled their noses. " Them again?! " they whined. "They're like biting geese." Jon said. Don nodded, " They look old and harmless but they deliver one nasty bite."
They looked over when Ryuu called over to Terrence. "TERRY!!! WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU!!!" They sang.
Terrence and his groupies rounded the corner. Some girls shouted as they caught sight of their friends and their dress, which allowed Terrence to make it over to the rest of the members.
"They're loud....is it usually like this? They latch on at first sight of you in a suit?" He asked Ryuu in a tiresome tone.
"Yep." interjected Don.
"It's normal" added Jon.
"You have to anticipate it and plan ahead!" They said in a unison with 'its fact' fingers.
"Ah, and looking slick with those shades, Terry." complimented Jon.
"Thank you and stop calling me Terry."
"But it makes you cu~te!!!" Jon cooed. "Right ladies?" He asked looking back at the ladies.
Several of them nodded in agreement.
Terrence sighed. " Where are we heading in Ryuu? I'm afraid I missed half the memo."

Ryuu smiled at everyone. "It's time for us to welcome our guests and allow for the festivities to begin."
Ryuu headed off for the Salon, then turned to the twins, "We'll talk about the other matters after the ball."

The Twins nodded with understanding as they got up and straighten themselves and each other out. It was a little act of fixing their reflection. Once pleased and satisfied with themselves and their other they stepped back and winked at one another and gave a double thumbs up to one another.
"...It's like a portable body-length mirror." Terrence murmered to himself as he watched them before he followed Ryuu to the enterance door.

Jon was already outside the door with his jacket open and his neck tie loosened. " 'Sup Don."
"Hello Jon." Don breathed as he loosened his neck tie too. "I'm tired..."
Jon was chewing on a piece of celery and handed his brother one too.
" Same here... ah, Someone replaced all the original sweets. " he said motioning over his shoulder and pointing to the table.
Don took a bite, " Wadda ya mean?"
"Someone replaced all the orginal sweets that we ordered in. I don' mind really, they taste better, but awfully familiar." He noted with his eyes closed.
Don didn't reply.
"Well?" Jon asked switching his crossed legs as he moved forward and leaned on the railing.
"Well what?"
"You know well what I'm talking about." Jon said munching on another piece of celery. " Well? Are you going to initiate another Separation?"
Don didn't answer, he was getting a little uncomfortable with Jon. "Why-"
"I personally don't like it." Jon said bluntly looking out into the garden. " I don't like it at all."
Don's eyes snapped up, "What do you mean you don't like it?! Does everything I do and feel have to be approved by you?!"
"I wish."
Don balled his hands into fists, "Why are you so-!"
"Controlling? Aggressive?"
"YES! WHY DO YOU GET UPSET OVER EVERYTHING LITTLE THING THAT IS DIFFERENT AND DOESN'T CONCERN YOU?!"
"Because I'm you're older brother!" Jon said raising his voice but keeping calm.
Don was getting flustered and angry, he didn't like the way his brother was so unaccepting. How he didn't consider his own, personal feelings.
" We're NOT the SAME." Don said more quietly.
Jon didn't answer.
" You're acting like, as if- are you listening?!" He asked looking at Jon, he was motionless. "JON!!" He grabbed his brother's shoulder and wheeled him around. Jon had this very smug look on his face. "...."
Don's fist shook as he held a handful of Jon's shirt in his hand. He cast his eyes down his teeth clentched. "You....you can't always be this way...We can't always be together....We're not the s-" Jon brushed his hand away from his collar and backed off.
" Jon, I...." He was trying to get this brother to turn around, but Jon had already stuck his hands in his pockets. Don's chest filled with a tremble and emptiness. He wheeled around and went back into the Salon.

Taka wondered through the garden the cool night breeze lifted her spirits. She wasn't enjoying her new school but at least she found a club. She made her way to the middle of the garden and placed one of the floating candles into the fountain.

Taka sighed, I should get going. She brushed her hand against the cold stone of the fountain then left for the evening.
