Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue

[Pushing Up Roses]

(January 13th. Afternoon. Closed to Paw & Roses)

Roses walked outside sitting on the back porch. They failed to rescue Chick and Morpheus and Ask That Guy's army had also captured Patch and freed Pinocchio. Now they were stronger than ever while Critic's army was short 3 members. And to top it off they had a few injured members during the two rescue attempts made by both sides. Iheart had been hurt the worst and she felt guilty for not looking out for her. They had to rescue their 3 missing friends soon. She sighed trying to take her mind off what was going on as she stared at the sky looking at the clouds.

[paw]

Paw wasn't exactly cheerful, but he thought it his job to cheer up the group. To be fair, he and the Kid had managed to bring a huge amount of laughs to Linkara, Harv and Linksano by singing songs together. But he was also tvery, very, very, very worried about Roses. He liked being with her and sorta had a crush on here. Spotting her, he sat down beside her, gently holding her hand 2Penny for the thoughts?"

[Pushing Up Roses]

Roses turned glancing up at Paw.

"I'm just thinking about how we failed. We lost another member to Ask That Guy's army and a few of our guys got hurt. Poor Iheart. She's going to be recovering for weeks. We should have kept a better eye on her." said Roses.

[paw]

"I know. But it was her choice to come along. And... she wouldn't have wanted us to blame ourselves." Paw gently held her hand. "If anything it's my fault, I should have been able to get Patch back. It's my fault even more." Paw was severely hating himself.

[Pushing Up Roses]

Roses glanced at Paw shaking her head.

"You were up against a cyborg. Linkara'sr the only one who's been able to beat him and he keeps coming back. It's not your fault. It's mine. I sent you there. If anything had happened to you I'd never forgive myself." said Roses.

[paw]

Paw smiled "You know, it's going to be a long night if we keep saying it's our fault. Maybe we should stop, IHeart and the Chick wouldn't want us to feel bad. Have you? Well, you know. Thought about Holli?" Paw didn't want her upset, he just wanted her to be okay.

[Pushing Up Roses]

Roses nodded knowing Paw was right. Blaming themselves for their failures would solve nothing. When he mentioned Holli she nodded.

"I'm trying to get over it. She may not be the last person we have to kill. That I may have to kill." said Roses.

She sighed.

"Things were so much easier when they were just characters in a movie or tv show. I've done it before in video games and yet it's so different now. She's a cartoon character who'd have killed me with out a second thought. But I guess that's why I'm one of the good guys." said Roses.

She sighed again wanting to change the subject for now.

"Maybe we should film a crossover or go do something. This war's going to drive us all nuts if we let it." said Roses.

[paw]

Paw smirked "You know, we should realyl film a sequel to the Californian Raisins video. Maybe that would cheer us up." He scooted over to her, and without knowing what he was doing, gave her a quick hug "I'm just glad your still here." He quickly jumped "Sorry, don't know what came over me."

[Pushing Up Roses]

"Yeah. I guess I've been distracted with making my let's plays, streaming, and making my other new series to do anymore Musical Youth episodes." said Roses.

When he hugged her she smiled hugging him back.

"It's alright. I'm glad you're here too." said Roses.

She smiled glancing at him.

"Well everyone knows I love the Monkees since we reviewed the Head movie. And I've already made a list of my favorite songs from the 60s and 70s. Maybe we should review a musical together. Got any ideas?"

[paw]

Paw thought for a moment, running through his head. "What about West Side Story? We could have some fun with that." Paw grinned at her "I mean, nothing like Romeo and Juilet, modenized. And done right." He smirked, then turned serious again.

[Pushing Up Roses]

"Well it's certainly sounds better than that awful disney film Gnoemo and Juliet. Disney hasn't learned its lesson. They did it already with Pocahontas and Lion King 2. Why can't they just give up on the Romeo and Juliet story." said Roses.

She sighed shaking her head.

"Well where should we set up? Maybe in one of the bedrooms? Less noise up there." said Roses.

[paw]

"Roses, are you trying to seduce me?" Paw said in a mock serious voice once she mentioned the bedroom. Then he smirked "Can't get enough of me, eh? Oh alright, come on!" He pulled her up and started to walk towards the house.

[Pushing Up Roses]

"Maybe." joked Roses.

She smiles as he pulls her up as they walk into the house.

"I guess we should watch it first and then review it. It's been awhile since I've seen it. Do you have a copy? We might have to rent it from Blockbuster." said Roses.

[paw]

"No, I have it. A music reviewer never goes without all the stuff on his dartboard." Paw pulled out a copy and nodded to the stairs "After you Rosie Posie." That was his affectionate nickname for her, so he smirked at her as he passed.

[Pushing Up Roses]

Roses chuckled and followed him up the stairs. And soon they were upstairs. Roses stopped realizing they probably would want popcorn.

"You get the movie ready. I'll be back with popcorn." said Roses.

She went downstairs cooking a bag of popcorn and pouring it into a big bowl. She then tossed the empty bag into a trash can. She took a couple sodas from the fridge heading up the stairs with the sodas and the bowl of popcorn. She rejoined Paw upstairs ready to watch the film.
