Blue Butterfly

The First Smile

Few days have passed since I came in this castle. Socker and I spend our days with Ariana, now we know almost everything about her.

"Hat man..." I heard a voice calling me. "Will you help me with my hair?" Ariana walked in my room with hair brush in her hand.

"Sure thing, my lady." I gave her a smile and put on my hat.

"You're not dressed yet? And I aready told you to call me Ariana, not 'lady'!" She sounded annoyed but her face was still expressionless.

"I'm sorry... I'll rember that." I said and started brushing her long black hair.

"I noticed that you never brush your hair, why's that?" She asked.

"I gess I'm to lazy for that, hehe."

"That's not nice... You should try to be a gentelman."

"Well, if I were a gentelman I wouldn't be able to do my job." I jumped infront of her and made a funny face while my hat fell off.

"You are weird, Hat man." She said and put her little soft hand on my messy caramel hair. It's been a while and I still haven't made her smile even once. I've tried, many times but nothing worked. Her face is always the same, with no expression.

"Hat man..." She looked outside the window. "I would love to go in the garden." For a moment looked like her eyes shined there.

"Yes, that is one good idea." I said.

"But... I would like to go in a rose garden."

"That is fine, too." I grabed her hand and we took our way to the garden. When we came she ran to one of the bushes with white-blue roses.

"Look!" She pointed at one rose.

"What is it?" I looked at the rose, there is one blue butterfly and it looked just like the one that was always in her hair.

"Isn't it nice?" She asked while she tried to catch it.

"It sure is." I gave her a smile. She was still trying to catch the butterfly but it flew away and in one second she scratched herself on one of the torns.

"Owie..." A quite voice came out of her mouth.

"Let me see." I walked clouser to her and took a look on her finger. There was a small scar but it dosen't look serious.

"No worries... You'll be fine." I looked at her and ripped my shirt a little so I could cover her little wound.

"You are so kind, Hat man." She whispered with soft voice and when I looked back up at her to say something I saw it! A little, sweet and soft smile was on her face. It was warm and kind...

"After all I've done... You smile at this..." I whispered back and hugged her tight. In suprise, she hugged me back.

"You done something that made me feel happy..." She said.

For a 10 year old girl, she is more then smart. That was the first time I've seen her smile but it was one of the most special smiles that I will never forget.
