It's been two days since what I've dubbed the rose incident, I'd like to come to the traditional conclusion I've lost my mind but something in me says otherwise. Like the recent additions to mom's collection aren't just gnomes but something more...unusual. And today I'm gonna find out whether that's true or not.

"Mom's out on errands, dad's not coming over until tommorow, perfect." I paused before stepping out into the backyard and up to the red and blue pair, knealing before them.

"Look, I know this may sound crazy, and I don't know if you guys are really listening but I have to know...are you guys real? Alive? Like me?" Pause. "Two days ago, one of you...you were listening to my conversation weren't you? You laughed with me. Or was that just my imagination getting the best of me?" No responce. I sighed, standing back up.

"Thought so." I turned around and got two feet away. "If she really does hate guys so much, she outta become a lesbian, I agree with you by a landslide." With a gasp, I whirled around.

The red female gnome, was talking, like me. She stepped some feet forward and held out a tiny hand. "Juliet, pleased to meet you." Eyes huge and mouth agape, I walked up and slipped my pointer finger into her grasp. "Isabel." She raised a skeptical brow. "Why are you so stunned? You asked for this." I snapped out of it instantly.

"Juliet, you're not supposed to talk to the humans!" Now the blue boy was talking, grabbing Juliet's hand and pulling her back as he looked to me with wide frightened eyes.

"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you." I hesitated before gently trailing a finger down the side of his face, smiling softly. "Isabel, meet my true love Gnomeo." True love, so I was right.

"Nice to meet you Gnomeo, are all of you guys this sensitive?" "Kinda." That's when I noticed all the gnomes were alive and moving, they had come up to me with nervous clickering steps. This is gonna be good. I thought, mouth falling into an open smile.
