Ruby I think, "Singing," I reply, "You?"

Ruby I nod and sigh, "Can...Can we talk about something else please?"

Ruby "Mortal world. A place where they don't have powers. We have powers in Pearl," I look at him, "I just call it that."

Ruby I lose my smile, "When I was five she died in a car crash," I say, "We were in the mortal world at that time..." I sigh, "And it ...

Ruby I giggle a little, "That's sweet. When...When I was two... and when my mom was still around, she used to have tulips all over the palace," I smile, "And ...

Ruby I still look at the ground, "I'd think it'd be cute," I shrug, still slightly smiling.

Ruby I shrug, "The rose is amazing," I smile slightly, "how about you?"

Ruby I look down and sigh, "Green," I whisper. Just like my mom's favorite color. "Yours?"

Ruby Silence takes over and I take a deep breath before shaking my head at myself. I hate life sometimes.

Ruby I sigh and look up at the purple skies, just like my eyes, and finger a flower before tucking it into my hair, it matching my dress perfectly. Why ...

Ruby I shake my head and glance up at the palace, tucking some hair behind my ear, "Nevermind."

Ruby I nod, "What are we?" I ask in a whisper, looking down at the flowers by my legs, my hair falling past my shoulders, "In status."

Ruby I nod and look at him, "How long are you staying?" I ask, my voice almost hopeful.

Ruby I let go if his hand and plop down in the flowers, moving the bangs out of my eyes, "This place is so pretty."

Ruby I smile and nod, leading him outside and to the flowers.
