  "Geez... Roseluck, these Venus Flytraps really creep me out..." Nova said, holding the watering can over the carnivorous plant.

  "Ohhh, but Venus is friendly. Just don't forget to feed her and she won't bite you." Roseluck smiled innocently, bending over to add in some seeds to the fertile soil.

  Nova sighed and turned around to say something. Blood shot out of his nose the second he saw Roseluck's white cotton underwear. Nova quickly turned back around, pretending nothing just happened. "Yeah... A-Alright," he said, voice cracking. "Random question, what's your favorite kind of plant? I know you like gardening and all," Nova looked at the curtain cutting off Roseluck's garden from the rest of the greenhouse, "so you have to have a favorite plant."

  Roseluck giggled. "Well, it's EXTREMELY rare. One, in fact, that I got from crossbreeding my flowers and a few other grow formulas I found. It just grew about a week ago. It's basically a white rose," she answered.

  "Cool, your own flower. What's it called?"

  Roseluck smiled, turning her head to face Nova. "I called it Nova. It's named after you."

  Nova blushed. "Really? Thank you so much! Although, if you sell it to scientists, they'll probably rename it..."

  "Oh no, i'm not selling it."

  Nova raised an eyebrow. "Really? But you could get a lot of money-"

  "No. It's special to me. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, Nova." Except one thing. One thing that I will never achieve...

  "Aww. Oh well, it's your choice... Wait, is this poison ivy?" Nova asked, his expression going blank.

  "Yup. I'm quite fond of poison ivy. I like the smell."

  Nova stumbled backwards. "Gyahh! I almost touched it... You know, Roseluck, a lot of people find this obsession of plants of yours kinda creepy."

  Roseluck shrugged. "It's in my name, isn't it? Besides, I love gardening. The wide varieties of plants are interesting. They smell good, also."

  Nova shuddering, pinching his nose. "Right now, it smells like fertilizer in this place. Oh geez..."

  Roseluck took a gentle bite of a bright red apple, smiling as Nova stared in awe at his own apple. "You grew these yourself? These... are amazing! So soft and juicy... You should start selling these."

  Roseluck giggled. "Oh, I already do. How do you think I paid to get into this school? I was selling them at five bits per apple, but my mother insisted I go twenty bits per apple so I can raise the money faster. She's too fast paced, while I like to take things slow," Roseluck shrugged while sinking her teeth into the red fruit that she grew herself.

  Nova took a large bite. "Yum... Delicious..."

  A couple minutes later, Nova noticed the white rose-like flower in the black vase upon Roseluck's counter top. "Hey, is that the flower you were talking about earlier?"

  "Oh? Oh, yes. Nova. Isn't it beautiful?" Roseluck smiled, admiring her unique creation.

  Nova stood up, tossing his apple core in a bin. He proceeded to walk over to the rose, kneeling down to it. "Wooah.. It's awesome! It smells like...Me. Heh, that's kinda creepy."

  Roseluck laughed. "What a coincidence! Named after you, and smells like you. It truly is a wonder, is it not?" Roseluck then grabbed a red watering can and watered a few plants on her windowsill, and handed one to Nova. "Do you care to help?"

  Nova nodded his head. "Sure thing, anything to help you out, Rosey!" Roseluck slightly blushed.

  Nova sprinkled some water on several plants, including his own rose. "So, Rosey, do you have any-" Suddenly, in the middle of Nova's sentence, a pot fell off of it's table, breaking with its impact on the hardwood floor, dirt spilling out of it.

  Roseluck gasped, her heart skipping a beat. She turned around, looking at the mess on the ground. "N-Nova!"

  Nova held his hands up. "That wasn't me! I'm all the way over here!" Nova was on the opposite side of the room of the pot. "This is like Paranormal Activity..." Nova said, his voice cracking.

  "I-It must've been the wind... The windows are wide open..." Roseluck was breathing hard, still not able to comprehend what had just happened.

  "Yeah.. The wind... " Nova said. Even though our hair didn't blow... Nova liked that about himself. He wasn't good at paying attention to the big things, but found himself noticing the smallest things, such as the number of highlights in Vinyl's hair. Or the number of stars on Trixie's hat, or how Derpy seems to like muffins... Wait, that's obvious.

  "...Well, the plants are all watered," Nova said, a couple minutes later. "What do you want to do now?"

  Roseluck put a finger on her chin, pondering some more activities. "Well... I suppose that we could go to the park. I have a cherry blossom tree that I planted when I was about 6."

  "Sure thing!" Nova answered, not taking his eyes off of the broken pot. They hadn't cleaned it up yet, since Roseluck was so intent on watering her plants. "...Wait... Rosey, one of the blades has blood on it..."

  Roseluck froze, slowly turning around. "B-Blood..?" Nova nodded. "...EEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!" Roseluck shrieked, cowering against the wall. "Gross!! I HATE blood! Th-Throw that away! Eee!"

  "Gyah!" Roseluck's screaming startled Nova. "O-Okay!" He ran over to the broom and dust pan, and began sweeping up the shards of clay and the piles of dirt. In about a minute, he was done. "Alright, finished... Why was there blood on it?"

  Roseluck slowly slid down the wall, sitting down. "How should I know? It was fine before. Then it broke, and... And.." Roseluck shuddered in fear.

  "Well, that was creepy. Maybe it's just some kind of liquid from the plant or something.."

  Roseluck looked down. "Yeah... Maybe..."

  Suddenly, Nova's phone beeped. "Oh?" He pressed the button to turn it on, and saw that he got a text.

Hiiiiiii Muffin! Can you come over to my dorm? I need you for something important! More important that muffins, THAT'S  HOW SERIOUS THIS IS! So come on over, to Derpy's dorm! My dorm is the best! All... Dormy :3 so, HURRY UP!

  "Oh, sorry, Rosey, I have to go. We can go to the park some other time, right?"

  Roseluck nodded, looking kind of sad. "Sure thing. I'll see you soon?"

  "Yeah! See ya later!" Nova said exiting the room.

  ".... Damn it! He didn't even kiss me... I bet Derpy will get that far... It's not fair!" Roseluck slammed her fist into the wall. "Wait!.. Don't turn obsessed like Seiko, Roseluck. Keep your cool. That's what you've spent all these years doing... Keeping your cool..."

   "Agh! Celestia Damn it! I freaking cut myself with that damned pot... I should've paid more attention. They almost saw me!" A figure was walking through the hallways of the school, clutching its arm with blood dripping from it. "Maybe Fluttershy has some sort of bandage? I'm sure enough not going to the nurses office. All they do is give you an ice pack, no matter what. If your throat is slit 'oh, here's an ice pack!' if your arm is broken 'here's an ice pack!'... Dear Celestia, I'm talking to myself... " The figure fell down, crying out. "Fuck! Yeah.. Fluttershy... Got to make my way to Fluttershy's dorm... And pray that Rainbow Dash doesn't kill me for making Fluttershy spend time on me... I'm screwed."
