That's it.

C'mere Rose.

*Steps up and kisses her softly and deeply, attempting to show her how real men kiss pretty girls*

Happy Birthday. Rose! *winks* Consider that my gift to you.

*grasps his arms with her fingers, eyes closing and she kisses him back. Trying hard not to squeak, which she fails at stopping*

*breathless and very red*

Bill. Y-you're a day e-early.

*he finishes the kiss and steps back, grinning*

You've been deserving a real kiss for years. Why wait another day?

Then that is one less thing.

Thank you Bill, it's just a shame it came from a friend in a relationship rather that with someone who wished to be with me. Not that I am not thankful.

*brushes her hand over his chee*

Thank you.

*nods*
I understand. Kissing someone you're in love with is much different. Still, a kiss just a kiss, and you deserved a good one.

I wouldn't know.

*looks at him sadly*

Bill, is there something the matter with me?

Nope. Not at all.

And yet you are the first person who has ever kissed me in such a manner.

*touches her lips for a moment*

Why did you kiss me?

Because it's almost your birthday, and you always said that being kissed was what you wanted most. I was being a friend. If what you wanted most was something I could easily give why not give it?

But a kiss, should you really give me such a thing?

I mean, wouldn't giving me such a thing only make me want more? *tugs on his top*

*laughs slightly but is really rather uncomfortable and steps back*

I'm not that a good a kisser that I would leave you wanting more would I? It's just a kiss.

*playful*

But you did leave me wanting more.

Billy, please.

*reaches out and touches his cheek*

It's just a kiss.

*Leans in and then kisses his cheek, grinning and then laughing*

Gotcha!

*shakes head*

I like you a lot, Rose, but my heart belongs to Hope. Therefore, the vast majority of my kisses do to!

Billy, it was a joke. Hence the gotcha.

*shakes head at him*

*ponders her for a moment and nods*

"A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartaches,
whatever you wish for you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small,
Alone in the night you'll whisper,
thinking no one can hear you at all.
You wake with the morning sunlight
to find fortune that is smiling on you.
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow,
for all you know, tomorrow
the dream that you wished will come true.

(A dream is a wish your heart makes)
Oh, when you're fast asleep.
(In dreams you will lose your heartaches)
Oh, whatever you wish for you keep.

Oh, you wake with the morning sunlight
to find fortune that is smiling on you.
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow,
for all you know, tomorrow
the dream that you wished will come true.

Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you'll keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true. "

*A deep breath and a smile*

*very red cheeked*

Hello again.

*grinning, eyes bright*

"Hello, beautiful. How fares the most beautiful almost birthday lady around?"

*laughs shyly, going even redder*

I'm well. And it's Rose, my name is Rose.

*bounces with a grin*

"Good to hear. And I know, but I could not resist. I am afraid I was a bit giddy. Forgive me, fair Rose?"

Why so giddy?

*Produces a rose, which is held out*

"A beautiful woman, a grand morning, and a chance to show her she is appreciated? What is there to not be giddy about?"

*takes the rose and looks at him, shy and smiling*

Thank you, it's beautiful.

"You are welcome, Rose. I know we hardly know each other, and you have no reason to trust me, nor to like me, but I find myself giddy when I see you."

*A solid blush forms*

"I will press not my quest for time with you, if it bugs you, but... if it does not, I would like to spend more time with you."

You do?

*Can't help the surprise in her voice, it's not something she is used to at all*

I-I...*laughs, toying with her lip* Okay.

"Really?"

*Surprise shows, then a grin and he bounces on his feet*

"I am glad, Would, ah... you care to dance?"

*holds out a hand, nervous, but grinning*

But there's no music.

*pauses for a moment before taking his hand anyway*

*Swallows and gently pulls her close, nodding*

"I was told once, by a wise friend, that sometimes you have to make your own music."

*takes a breath and moves into a simple dance step, leading her*

"And... well, I would sing again, but I am afraid I do not know a lot of songs..."

*a blush*

Make our own music, that sounds like the kind of thing my mum would say.

*dances with him*

My sister and cousins are more for singing, I wouldn't even try to.

"I try some, as you, ah heard, but, I am afraid I never got very far at it. I like... doing, dancing, walking, being out and doing things, or..."

*blushes*

"...sometimes being in and doing things with the right people."

*suddenly turns a very ver deep red and pulls back, eyes wide*

I, uh...um...

*swallows*

*blushes, eyes going wide*

"I don't mean, er, I didn't mean... that is, not that you aren't pretty, but... er... sorry? I meant... just, inside, stuff? Um, being together, doing,..."

*flaily hand movement*

"ah, stuff together?"

*facepalms and sighs*

"This is not going well, is it?"

I.

Sorry I just...

*looks down very red*

*peers at her in concern*

"What is wrong?"

I shouldn't have assumed you meant, you were being a complete gentleman and I...forgive me.

"It was completely reasonable under the circumstances. I was not clear. Please, think nothing more of it."

He bowed to her, eyes full of concern, and worry.

*smiles*

Thank you for my dance, my song and my rose.

You are very welcome.

*smiles a little shyly*

I would love to dance with you again.

Maybe sometime but I must go. Still...thank you.

*clears throat* *sings*

Happy Biiiiiiiirthday to youuuu...

You're gonna be 18 'til you diiiiiiiie
'cause girls just wanna have FUUUUUN, ohhhh girls just wanna have, that's what they really waant!

*shamelessly mixes Cindy Lauper with Bryan Adams and does some uber cool 80s robot dance*

*laughs and claps, more so because you almost made her mun spit her food everywhere when she read this*

Bravo, very good, and thank you.

*beams with glee and bows*

You are most welcome! Also, for celebrating, a pineapple, just for you! *hands over the fruit*

*takes said pinapple*

Thank you.

May I ask why a pineapple?

Because it is simply delicious. Also, tasty.

Thanks.

~~WOW. Twenty-six and NO kiss? Not even spin-the-bottle kisses? And I thought I needed the dragonballs to wish for a perfect boyfriend when I was sixteen...Wow! Go get a kiss, girl!~~

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

*giggles* Wouldn't be a birthday without the Beatles' Birthday song.

Happy Birthday!!! I won't sing, you'll thank me for it.

That bad?

And thanks.

Yup. Bad enough, to make your ears want to kamikaze suicide themselves.

You are welcome.
