Lyretta listened with good humor as the little girl explained everything she knew about the garden. As little missy spoke her cheeks became rosier and rosier, both from the cold and from the exertion of her lengthy and seemingly never-ending explanation. Now she had even begun to talk about the past Queens.

Lyretta's face had long ago assumed an expression of suppressed laughter. Her aunt always said she was a talker, she couldn't wait to introduce little missy to her aunt.

As the little girl explained Lyretta kept a look out for her 'Big Brother', it was not long after they started walking that she heard a faraway yell.

Assuming this was the person they were searching for Lyretta headed toward the voice. As she got closer Lyretta began to hear the name 'Missy' being yelled out by a worried male voice, over and over.

As Lyretta rounded the corner that separated the Sakura Garden and the Tulip Garden she came face to face with a very handsome man.

She stopped in her tracks and just stared at him, completely forgetting her manners.

He had short shiny brown hair, the most alluring dark chocolate eyes, his face was slim and handsome. He was taller than her by at least two heads, and he was wearing a black suit well fitted to his body.

As soon as she had turned the corner those alluring chocolate brown eyes had focused on her for a moment before they quickly moved to the little girl next to her.

As soon as missy's older brother spotted little Missy he ran forward and took the girl into his arms.

"Missy!" He squeezed his little sister tightly in a hug and let out a breath of relief.

Little Missy hugged him back and gave him a loud sloppy kiss on his cheek. She had really missed her brother.

She looked toward Lyretta ready to thank her, but as soon as she saw the expression on Lyretta's face an idea was sparked in her and she stopped short.

She smiled sneakily and struggled out of her brother's hold and immediately pulled him over to Lyretta.

"Big Brother, Big Sister Lyretta brought me back!" She puffed out her chest as she proudly introduced her new friend.

Little Missy's big brother turned to the petite girl in front of him and didn't even look at her before taking a bow and uttering some words of thanks. He then turned back to his little sister and tried to leave.

Lyretta was a little surprised at the somewhat rude behavior, but said nothing. She figured he was just too focused on his cute little sister because of how worried he had been previously.

Little Missy though, was not having it. She stomped her little pink shoed foot and pulled her brother back.

She glared at him with her big green eyes and pouted her dark pink lips until he had no choice but to go back to Lyretta. He looked up at the darkening sky and sought to find some patience.

He had been extremely worried for his sister. She was the last remaining family he had, and he had stupidly lost her. He had been just about to enter the Sakura gardens when she had been brought to the Tulip Gardens, he did not think he would forget that feeling of relief for the rest of his life.

Now he wanted to get home where he knew she would be safe, but her stubborn personality was coming out again.
