Poison Rose

Beautiful Rose

After admiring her tall self for a touch longer Dark decided to head to TMNT's realm. Dark felt amazing. She got what she wanted she finally worked up the courage and took it. She felt amazing an electric current charged through her body at a punishing pace. She threw on a sweatshirt leaving her new boots on. She also grabbed a bag full of drawing supplies and books including her infamous book. The 1000 baby name book.
She set off using a fun river ride of her invention.
Setting off was easy  but she probably had to at least text TMNT before she showed up randomly.

' Hey game night?'
'......Sure come on'
'*smile*'

Dark smiled everything seemed to be going in the right direction for her today. She finally kissed her crush and she said those Beautiful spine tingling words...
" Do you know how long I've waited for you to do that."
Dark shuddered just a bit thinking about Sparkle's
round full cherry tasting lips pressed aganist hers in a heated passionate frenzy. She felt her cheeks flush her head dropped in a mix of embarrassment and heat.
Who thinks such thoughts about her best friend. Well besides that Wattpad guy.
Wait does she have a boyfriend? Is she even gay?
Crap. Dark facepalms. Did she just take away this guy's girlfriend was she a home wrecker!
No she wasn't. Sparkle kissed back, she wouldn't cheat she did have ample opportunity before the kiss to say anything. She could have shoved Dark off of her. She breathed a sigh of relief. Whatever you snooze you loose fucker. Sparkle's mine now. Well they have to talk through that first discuss what their going to do. There was no way in the seven hells Dark was letting go without a fight though.  It took to much crushing, to many signals to much pining to let go now. She'd call the phantom theives to finish that guy off if she had to.
Dark growled at the thought. Her Sparkle in the arms of some random ruffian from a social media site for twelve year olds who want to read lemons.
Before she knew it Dark was angrily knocking on TMNT's ship, inspired by the time the turtles went into space most likely.
When TMNT answered the door Dark was almost fuming, but all the anger fled away in seeing Sparkle sitting on the floor headset on and in the middle of what looked like COD.
Well that was something she never expected to see. Actually now she's not that surprised given her horseman avatar is war. Happy smiling self destructive Sparkle playing COD with such a fervor she ignored all else. She leaned foward and her tounge was sticking from one side of her mouth just barely from concentration. Dark's breathing relaxed and she stepped inside.
" We were playing Mario Kart but she kept beating me. Then we tried Grand theft then I got your message and decided to take a break so I could whip your butt. She needed to blow off steam." Said tmnt.
Blood splattered across the screen. Sparkle jumped up and whooped in victory.
" Huh you actucally won. Probably because you weren't playing me." Dark flashed a smiled that honestly looked More like a smirk.
" Honestly yeah until we're racing then I usually win."
" Unless its racing with planes."
" True" she laughed a sparkle laugh a low twittering chuckle that made Dark what to hear more. She looked happy but you can tell she was operating at least thirty percent under normal Sparkle levels where happy and quirky is measured. Dark wondered what was wrong. Did she do something? She looked happy earlier.
Dark sat down next to her and TMNT on her other side.
Injustice.
Sparkle was actucally decent in this game TMNT kept losing but Dark and Sparkle were neck in neck tied for wins.
It continued like that long into the night.
Eventually TMNT went to bed. She was just to exhausted to play on and slumps aganist the couch.
Sadly for her the game was still on. She died soon after.
" What's going on?" Dark said " Your so....not you tonight."
Sparkle looked to the floor.
" Your wearing your boots." She smiled.
" Your wearing your chocker."
They smiled in mutual understanding.
The boots made it easy for Sparkle to see where she stood with Dark.
Dark's feelings were never clearer.
Sparkle on the other hand Dark wasn't so sure of. Sometimes she just did things. She could be wearing her chocker because she liked the way it looked. She liked the way it felt. Maybe it went with her outfit.
It certainty did.
Or maybe it meant the same thing as Dark's boots. Maybe she liked her back? Hopefully.
Probably.
Maybe?
Who freaking knows at this point.
" I love the Rose in the center best, and the vines that circle round."
" Such beautiful Roses."
Dark looked down to see the roses  on her boots.
" They're such beautiful shirts." said Sparkle.
Dark stared was that a Gatsby reference? Or was she staring at the character's shirt. Or her own.
Probably the first one.
Dark hated Gatsby. Sparkle loved it.
Nick times Gatsby minus clothes equals Daisy popping. Well according to Sparkle anyway.
She really didn't mean that she loved the actucal story. When she watched it by herself she'd never admit it but she always cried at the end. She felt Nick's disguist.
" Stop making book references. Please I don't understand."
Sparkle shook her head.
" Neither do I."
" TMNT fell asleep."
" She did."
The unspoken words held heavy in the space between them.
" Should we leave or stay....?"
Dark stared in disbelief.
" I kissed you and your worried about-" she gestured around.
" What about this, Sparkle what about us? What happens now. How does this end."
Sparkle stared at her.
" As stories must when love's denied.  With tears and a journey."
Dark could feel pressure build behind her eyes.
" You can't fix this with Shakespeare Sparkle I'm not Lady Viola. I'm not leaving to a new world. I'm your neighbor and friend. I was hoping to be more."
Dark reaches into her bag and pulls out a rose.
" Payment for naming a coffee after me. The Sparkle Rose."
She held out a beautiful bountiful full rose. A bright neon green with silver and gold edges. The stem was a dark clover shade. Dark worked for hours trying to capture the color of Sparkle's eyes to color the Stem. She didn't stop until it was perfect.
The leaves were a beautiful round perfectly symmetrical and even sized.
She stood up and left Sparkle clutching the Rose.
The throns made her hand bleed as she held it.
It was truly a beautiful rose.

Okay I made several references including CDAWG VA
Shakespeare in love
The great gatsby
And myself.
I hope you enjoyed that I know I did.
I definitely love this chapter.
For the record I dont actually know if sparkle cries at Gatsby. I have no idea. Just let that be on record.
