Chapter 9: A Day with Violet

"Come on Ronnie," Violet yelled excitedly, "We are wasting daylight!"

<I know Violet. Let me get dressed. We have enough time.>

As Ronald and Violet were preparing to head out to the park, Ronald was doing his morning routines at a quick pace, trying to make himself look neat and clean. Violet, on the other hand, was zooming back and forth in the brunette's room. She kept showing a bright smile on her face with gleaming eyes as if she is excited to see a puppy for the first time. Meanwhile, Ronald was close to finishing his routines and was about to head to his room. As he entered, he saw Violet having an eager attitude and gestured her on what he should bring on the trip.

"Oh," Violet reacted, "I want you to bring that!"

Looking at the direction Violet was pointing, Ronald was perplexed as he stared straightly at a seed that was sitting near the window.

<Why?>

"I want to do something with it!"

<We are not doing black magic with a seed.>

"Ronnie, we are not doing anything bad. I promise. And besides, this should be a fun trip for the both of us."

Not asking any more questions, Ronald grasped onto the seed and placed it in his pocket. They both, then, headed downstairs and out to the backyard to retrieve Ronald's bicycle. After fetching it, Ronald brought it to the front yard and was about to leave; however, he was stopped by his father.

"Hi, Ronald."

Startled by his father's voice, Ronald turned around to look at him with a terrified expression and waved.

"I was just heading out for work."

Ronald gave him a thumbs up showing a forced, creepy smile that is not even a smile, to begin with.

"... Yeah... um... where are you going?"

<Out.>

"Out? You never go out... you always hated to go out... wait please tell me your not..."

<Dad. I am just going out to get some fresh air.>

"Will you be alright?"

<It is not like I am going to a party. I am fine.>

"Will someone be with you?"

<Yes. I am accompanied by my friend. My only friend, remember?>

"Oh... yes. Your 'imaginary friend.'"

<She's not imaginary.>

"Well... it depends on you. Just be safe."

Showing a nod in response, Ronald rode off disappearing from his father's sight. He focused his attention towards the road as he approached the city and followed Violet.

The city was beautiful on a Saturday morning. Not that many people around, and not too many traffic. All that was around was the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, with stores and market areas ready to sell its goods. The sounds of tiny birds that could be heard and the swift breeze in the air that could be felt. Ronald liked this feeling. Not just because everything was calm and nice, but because this type of atmosphere gave him a reason to see another day. To see hope in this world. He loved nature in every way. It may be mysterious and horrendous, yet it is beautiful and transparent. Distracted by his mix thoughts, Ronald's attention slowly focused on the road. He saw a squirrel, as a result, he swerved to the left to avoid hitting it, therefore, crashing into a bunch of bushes.
