Shades of the Blue Flower

Roses of Blue and the River of Blood

"Blue Rose, you need to stop worrying about this guy," a red leopard furry was over looking the land that was covered in miles with wild flowers. " I am not, actually, its just that we always had a good time together and now it like he dropped off the side of the world," Lady Blue Rose sighed next to her friend. "Speaking about dropping off the side of the world, how was the quest," her friends golden eyes glanced back at her friend smiling to herself. "Fire Emblem, was a great quest, Blood River you should have seen it, the title of the quest makes it seem harsh but it was really fun," she seemed to glow like the sun. "Was it at least hard," Blood River raised an eyebrow. " Actually yes, we had to partner up with someone and it was by random and I got paired up with this guy that was an amazing swordsmen, and we completed the quest in a new record, and at the end he ask me to be his friend." Blue rose had a cheerful smile.

"Wow never thought you be this happy, ever since the game came out with an update," Blood River had thrown in some sarcasm. " I'm somewhat happy in school, when we are using our Multivacs." (Multivac is a program that helps people with many things also with this technology allows gamers to be in actual games) "True, so whats the next part of our day," Blood River slowly sat down gazing out in the distance. "Well I have to be careful of what I do, many people like this me, which is disturbing how many friend request I gain from guys," as she stood still next to Blood River, goose bumps ran down her spine of the thought of those friend request. "You are powerful in this game, in the top twenty of the most powerful players and also you keep your face hidden so it makes all the guys nuts," the jealousy was hidden in her words, it was hard for her friend to be more well known. "If you're jealous, you should blame yourself because you never want to come on quest with me."

"Your a higher level, but I'm fine I am doing jobs actually to make some money," Blood River had a sly smile, jobs helped other members gain points. "Good to know, still bored by chance," Blood River gave a questioning look, "Why?" "His name is Pixu, they guy I met on the quest, must be well known to have a ball," Blood River, "Why the hell do you meet the guys with amazing crap and also rich enough to be able to have those kind of parties." "Well I didn't know that he was the rich and powerful and remember this is fake money and we don't even know who he is in real life," the point was clear, they didn't know who he was in real life, "Lets go, maybe Lady Blue Rose should go in another color to confuse him and make a great impression," Blood River gave a wicked smile.

"Now announcing Blood River," Blood River was slowly walking down the steps in a dark blood red dress, with gold splashes on the ruffles on the bottom half of her dress, when she finally reached the bottom of the steps she glanced up waiting for her friend. As Lady Blue Rose stepped in the doorway waiting for a few minutes, she had a chance to scan the room; gold was covered on every wall, red silk was spiraled around pillars, chandeliers lighting up the room, it was like a painting. "Miss your name," the announcer whispered to her, " Lady Blue Rose."

"Now announcing Lady Blue Rose," as she walked down everyone glanced up to see a woman not dressed in blue but in bright red, the dress was perfectly ruffled, red and blue roses placed around her chest, her shoes were even blue, but for her hair was different, not curly but straight as blades of grass. with a elegant red bow that brought out her ocean blue eyes that was open to everyone to see. "I wish I didn't feel like Cinderella," she frustratedly said under her breath. "You will always be looked like that, no one sees your face while you cover your face with a mask," Blood River ears picked up the words quickly, it was her plan to make her noticed. "I never thought 'The Lady in Blue Roses would be ever wear such a beautiful red."

Blue Rose slowly turned around to see Pixu, a tall man with a dishwater blonde hair, and his eyes were a midnight black, "Pixu, nice to meet you again," she held out her small hand to join his hand that was big compared to her's. "Mine as well, who is this," he slowly nodded towards Blood River that was in shock. "This is my friend Blood River," Blue Rose slightly nudged her friend to help her escape from the shock. As soon as snapped back she glanced at both of them and smiled, " it's nice to meet you, I shall let you two be," she gathered her dress up slowly made her way through the crowd.

"How do you know that young lady," Pixu glanced down towards Blue Rose, "I go to school with actually, she was the one who showed me this game," she was nervous, her head was slowly stumbling over words that she couldn't say. "You seem nervous," he slowly placed a hand on her shoulder which made her jump and quickly go backwards,"Yea, I am sorry its hard for me to be at places like this, never really show my face to other players." "Ah, then if you don't want people to stare at you, would you care if we dance that should keep their eyes off you," his smile was sweet and warming to her, it had filled her up with courage to allow him to guide her to the middle were others gathered to dance.

As the music was simply slow, they danced in sync to where it quick and then back to a slow beat, they didn't talk, they slowly danced, while Blood River was glistening to see her friend once more happy with a person like him. "It was nice to meet you, you fight really well," his quick way of conversation caught her off guard. "Thank you, you do to, I never thought I would meet another powerful player in the game," the response she sent back brought joy into his heart, it was like falling in love online but in Blue Rose's heart that she would never meet him in real life. "Thank you for this dance, but I must go back to harsh reality that I wish not to leave," she slowly let go of his hands, letting the warmth travel one last time through their connection. "I want to fight alongside you more often we work together well, promise me that we will work together more often," his smile was beautiful it made her heart flutter, "I promise, next time we meet." He slowly nodded his head, "next time we meet, Lady Blue Rose."
