Jude, you can stop poking me now.
Title: Directions
Author: Kitty/[info]kittyrainbow
Summary: A final goodbye. The future must be chosen, and it can change the past.
Word count: 100!
Notes: I had to cut this down from 202 words. Arg. That was a long, hard slog. I hope it hasn't lost too much along the way...

"I'm sorry," said Juliet, "I didn't want to say goodbye with everyone watching."

"I understand," replied Holly.

Juliet halted.

"Look at these roses!" She deftly snapped one off. "Here, smell it." Juliet handed it to Holly, who inhaled, smiled and made to pass it back. "Why not keep it? Or several?"

Holly received the blooms; Juliet look thoughtful. "In Russia, even numbers of flowers are for sad events. You have four."

Holly checked. Yes, four. Appropriate?

Juliet turned. "It seems a shame to let tonight overshadow our good times..." Her hand was encircling another yellow rose.

"You'd better give me one more then."

For those of you interested, yes, the thing about flowers in Russia is true. And yellow roses represent friendship, so this is a non-slashy fic.

I think it's a little choppy, but whatever.

It's sharp, and too the point. But in the same way it's subtle... a little confusing, because I don't understand the bit about flowers. But it does, though, make sense, and even though it's a little choppy, I do adore it! <3

^_____^ Thankies. *hugs*

I think I shall go type up the longer version and put it on my LJ, because it takes a bit more time setting the scene and adds a little bit of detail to other parts as well...

*shushes Biz*

Of course they are just all happy-dappy, platonicness, and don't do anything while on a motorbike through Italy...

I loves, Kitty-dear. Very nice, although I think the longer version is probably better. *gives you many yellow roses*
