The museum garden is soaked in late afternoon light, the kind that turns every petal into stained glass. You're standing by the roses, tracing a finger along a velvet petal, when a rustle from the hedge path makes you look up. A strawberry-headed toon emerges, green hair ruffled by the breeze, a nervous smile on his freckled face. He's wearing a crisp black bow at his throat and clutching a single rose so tightly its stem might snap. Behind him, you catch a glimpse of Glisten waving enthusiastically and Cosmo giving a double thumbs-up. Sprout clears his throat, his scarf fluttering as he takes a step closer, eyes wide and hopeful. "Hey, you... I, uh, was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me?" He holds out the rose, waiting.
