Roses are Red.

May looked up at the building. Her short hair were in two pigtails with a clump of hair loose at the side of her face. Black hoodie with white polka dots, jeans (of course), and checkered Vans. Her cherry red backpack was clinging to her back with one strap on her shoulder. A fingerless, black, glove covered hand gripped it to keep it secure on her back. May glared at nothing muttering about how much a wimp Lexx was. She walked into the building following the signs directing her to the roses.

Justin looked around for the perfect rose for Gaby. He wondered around the many rows of roses cluless of where he was.

Jane wandered about the city, just by herself. Sometimes she enjoyed being alone. She had heard of the Banquet in the Newspaper and thought it was a neat idea. When she came upon the rose shop advertising the roses, she had a good idea. She stepped inside, thinking about getting a rose for Blake. Kind of tacky, but hey, it was a Banquet. Jane also planned on her and Blake announcing their engagement to everyone while they were there.

May looked at the roses, they all looked the same to her although she knew were different. She folded her arms with a scowled face, why couldn't Lexx get it himself? Chicken. She sighed angrily, she knew whatever one she got it would be the "wrong" one.

Justin shook his head and sat on a bench waiting for some energy to pop back into him so he could find the perfect one for his Gaby.

Jane saw a few people. A man she recognized as Gaby's fiancee and a girl, she faintly remembered seeing. Jane was terrible with names though. The girl walked through the rows of roses, looking at each one.

May sighed angrily and lifted a red rose that was open, she softly sniffed it. The scent was faint and she could see it was slightly wilting. She shook her head and put it back. What was this, an art form? May honestly did have fun dressing up for stuff like the Rose Banquet but it'd be awkward to go by herself.

Gabriella walked into the rose banquet, feeling a little odd that she had to bring her kids with her. Even after calling every babysitter in the book, she still could not find anyone available, most of which were at the rose banquet. So despite her insecurity she walked over to a table filled with red roses, she wanted to give Justin one, just to show her appreciation of him, even though it was traditionally the men who gave the roses, but she was engaged, she could get a rose for her fiancee. She spotted a lonely looking rose half off the table, with the most vibrant red color out of the bunch. She picked it up slowly, as if it was fragile, and she brought it to her nose and enjoyed its perfume-like aroma. "Perfect huh?" she hypothetically asked her twins down in the double stroller. She reached into her pocket and handed the cashier five dollars and was on her way to a table. She didn't see Justin off in the distance until Mckenzie pointed to him, calling him 'daddy', which made Gabys heart melt to nothingness everytime. "Hello stranger." she remarked as she pulled up behind him. In her hand was that perfect red rose for Justin.

Lillian had been following Gabriella around for most of the time, but when Gaby purchased the rose she went off in a different direction, scanning roses for pure enjoyment. She didn't really have anyone to give a rose too, maybe Derek, but for her he was nowhere in sight. Like Gaby, Lillian also had to bring her kids, Kylie was in a stroller, but Hailey was walking along by her side, saying she was too old for a stroller, "me a big gwirl" she would say.

Eva was also there, she haden't came with Gaby and Lilly though, she came with herself. She scanned the rose filled room and searched for her Tony.

Jane smiled as more people came into the shop. She recognized her friends Gaby and Lillian. She recognized Eva too, but didn't know her too well. It was good to see familiar people. Jane looked down at the ring on her finger and remembered that she had come here for a rose. She walked past a few sad looking ones.

Lillian spotted Gaby over at a table with Justin, the lucky man in her life, so she decided not to bother her with anything, she fully understood the miracle of Justin in Gabys life and did not want to interfere. Lilly continued walking around the tabes, it was a few minutes before she realized that Hailey had wondered off, heading in the direction of a familiar friend who was scanning roses. Little Hailey pulled on Jane's pants, "hewllo" the three year old greeted Jane. Lillian panicked for a mini second before spotting her Hailey over by Jane. Lillian turned around and strolled in that direction. Reaching Jane she smiled and picked up Hailey, "Don't you scare mommy like that ever again little girl." she playfully warned her daughter before greeting Jane, "Sorry about that, must have zoned out looking at all those roses." she excused as Eva snuck up behind her. At the sight of Aunite Eva, Hailey screamed "Auntie Eva, me mwisses you!" before wiggling out of Lillians grip and reaching her arms up to Eva. "I missed you too sweetheart." Eva replied as she bent down and lifted Hailey up to her waist. Eva had not seen her family in a while, being too pre-occupied with Tony, the love of her life. "Hello sis" Lillian greeted before turning back to Jane.

Jack had Fio on his back again. The child wore some plain jeans and a deep red turtleneck. She had adjusted quite well to the different kind of lifestyle in America. Jack wore a emeral green button-down shirt with a leather jacket. He smiled at Fio who was pointing at the roses, telling him how beautiful they looked and whether she liked the open ones or the closed kind best.

May rolled her eyes at the sea of red. They started to blend together as her concentration was slipping. She picked up a random one, it was open and probably ready to wilt but it didn't phase May. She couldn't seemed to care that much. She twirled it and some petals started to fall.

As Gaby talked to Justin she glanced over to some familiar faces that had just entered through the doors. "Is that Jack and the gang?" she asked herself aloud before she got up and walked over to them. "Why hello there strangers!" she kidded as she greeted them all. "My, my Miss Fio, you sure are getting big aren't you?" she played with a giggle. "Hello May, Hello Jack." she formally greeted. Before Gaby had gotten up she instructed Justin to keep an eye on McKenzie and McKayla, just to be clear so everyone knew she didn't just up and leave them there.

Arya sat all alone surrounded by thousands and thousands of roses. She had no clue why she was there. Blake sat next to her a beutiful red rose in hius hands staring intensly at it.

[[bleu][Birdy]]

Jack laughed, "Hello Gaby," he said. He let Fio slide off his back, she walked around him and looked at Gaby. "Hello Ms. Gaby," she said. Jack put his hand gently on Fio's head and smiled, "How are you?"

May looked at Gaby, "Hey," she said quietly and waved but didn't have much to say. May seemed pretty quiet and a little depressed these days. She hadn't any friends at school and usually just stayed home.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gabriella giggled, "Soon to be Mrs. Gaby for me." she kidded to Fio before directing her attention to Jack, "I've been good, my life is finally settling down a little bit. How are you?" she returned his question. Gaby studied May, she drew from the expression on her face that May was not in a very giddy mood as usual. "And how are you May?" she added with a smile as to cheer May up.

Lillian walked over to Gaby, "Can I speak to you for a moment?" she asked through grinded teeth. Lillian pulled Gaby away for a moment, "Why is Derek here?" she asked Gaby, as if Gaby invited him. "Because he's Gabbys cousin." Gaby simply replied. Lillian walked away, leaving Gaby confused. Gabriella walked back to Jack and company, "Sorry about that." she remarked as she ran her hands through her hair.
