Venezuela—Lovelace Mansion—Morning...
Waking up from her sleep, Roberta sat up as she stretched her arms, making some pops. She then sits by the edge of the bed and rubs her eyes before reaching for something on the nightstand. Roberta grabs a small picture that shows Tyler as a child.
Roberta: *Sadly mumbles* Ty...
She then closes her eyes as she starts to remember her past self and Tyler when they were kids.
Flashback...
Diego: Hola, mi viejo amigo, ha pasado tanto tiempo. [Hello, my old friend, it's been so long.]
Diego and Catherine Lovelace, along with Mr. Cisneros, his wife, and the young child Roberta, are in a large living room sitting down. The Cisneros family visited the Lovelace mansion to visit Diego and his family. Diego and Mr. Cisneros were old and close friends.
Diego: ¿Cómo está Colombia? He oído que el país está empeorando. [How's Colombia? I've heard that the country is getting worse.]
Mr. Cisneros: *Sigh* Lamentablemente, se trata de mi viejo amigo, Colombia, y su gobierno empeora día a día. [Sadly, it is my old friend, Colombia, and its government is getting worse by the day.]
Catherine was sitting by her husband as she was holding his hand. She was in her thoughts of the growing problems of the country. She also knows the CIA's involvement in the country and Central America.
Catherine: ¿Es muy grave? [How bad is it?]
Mr. Cisneros: ¿Mala Sra..? [Bad Ms..?]
Catherine: Catherine. *Chuckles* Sé que es la primera vez que nos vemos. Es un placer conocer a un amigo de mi marido y su familia. [Catherine. *Chuckles* I know this is our first time meeting. It's a pleasure to meet a friend of my husband and his family.]
Mr. Cisneros smiles as he gives her a nod. Ms. Cisneros then spoke up.
Ms. Cisneros: Gracias; sus palabras son muy amables y atentas. Diego ha elegido una buena esposa a su lado. Se os ve muy bien como pareja.[Thank you; your words are very kind and thoughtful. Diego has chosen a good wife by his side. You two look very wonderful as a couple.]
Catherine: Gracias, señora. *Smiles* [Thank you.] *Smiles*
Diego: Cat, ¿qué tal si llevas a la Sra. Cisneros y a su hija a dar una vuelta por nuestra casa mientras mi amigo y yo charlamos? [Cat, how about you, take Ms. Cisneros and her daughter on a tour around our home while me and my friend have a talk.]
Catherine: Claro. [Sure.]
Ms. Cisneros: Vamos, cariño. [Let's go, honey.]
Roberta nods at her mother as she holds her hand, staying close. The three left the room, leaving the two men alone.
Diego: Así que, dime. [So, tell me.]
Minutes later...
The three women were still walking around the household. The two adults were having a pleasant conversation, getting to know each other. As for Roberta, she was clenching by her mother's side, not wanting to be separated from her mother.
???: Mamá! (Mom!)
The three turn around to see a boy approaching them, who appears to be around the same age as Roberta. Roberta hides behind her mother's leg and tightly clenches it. But her head was poking out.
Catherine: Tyler, ¿necesitas algo? [Tyler, is there something you need?]
Tyler: No, me preguntaba quiénes son los nuevos invitados. [No, I was wondering who are the new guests.]
Tyler then sees Roberta, who was poking her head out, looking at him both nervous and shy.
Tyler: Hola? *Waves*
She slowly waves back at him, not saying anything.
Tyler: *To Ms. Cisneros* Hola, creo que ya sabes mi nombre por mi madre. Encantada de conocerte. [Hello, I believe you already know my name from my mom. It's nice to meet you.]
Ms. Cisneros: Es un placer conocerte, pequeña. [It's a pleasure to meet you, little one.]
Catherine: Tyler, ¿qué tal si te llevas a la pequeña aquí y le enseñas los alrededores? Así podríais conoceros. [Tyler, how about you take the little one here and show her around? So that you two could get to know each other.]
Tyler: *Smiles* Sí.
Ms. Cisneros: Vamos, cariño. Quédate a su lado y diviértete. [Go on, honey. Stay by him and have fun.]
Roberta nods as she lets go of her mother's leg and approaches the boy. She then stood in front of him.
Tyler: Hola. *Smiles*
Seeing his smile, Roberta's face slightly blushes.
Roberta: *Shy* H-Hola.
Tyler: ¿Quieres ver lo que tengo? [Do you want to see what I have?]
Roberta: Claro. [Sure.]
Tyler gently grabs her hand and takes her where he wants to show her. The two adults, seeing this, smiled.
Ms. Cisneros: Se ven tan lindos juntos. [They look so cute together.]
Catherine: *Smiles* Claro que sí. [They sure do.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler: Aquí estamos. [Here we are.]
Tyler uncovers her eyes to allow her to see what's in front of her. She was somewhat in awe to see a huge tree.
Roberta: Whoa
Tyler: Sí, whoa.
Roberta: ¿Por qué querías enseñarme esto? [Why did you want to show me this?]
Tyler: Es porque yo cultivé este árbol, y aquí es donde paso el rato en busca de paz. [It's because I grew this tree, and this is where I hang out for peace.]
Roberta: ¿De verdad? [Really?]
Tyler: Hmm, hm. *Smiles* Me sentí muy orgullosa y creció muy rápido, como una flor. [I took a lot of pride, and it grew so fast, like a flower blooming.]
Roberta: *Giggles* Es muy agradable estar contigo, Tyler. [You're very nice to hang around, Tyler.]
Tyler: *Smiles* Me alegra oírlo. Yo diría lo mismo... Rose. [I'm happy to hear. I would say the same... Rose.]
Roberta's eyes widen slightly as her lips form into a smile she made a first friend. But for some reason, her heart beats rapidly every time she sees him smiling. Tyler is like sunshine to her eyes.
Roberta: (Tyler, eres demasiado amable y honestamente guapo. Cuando te miro, eres como un sol que hace florecer mis ojos. Me alegro de haberte conocido.) [(Tyler, you are too kind and honestly handsome. When I look at you, you are like a sun that blooms my eyes away. I'm glad that I have met you.])
Flashback Ended...
Roberta opened her eyes, but her eyes went wide to see that she was standing in the restroom.
Roberta: (How did I get here? Was I dream walking?)
Roberta slowly opens the door to go back to her room. Fully opening the door, she sees something that causes her eyes to widen in shock and disbelief. It was Tyler without his ghost mask or military outfit. He was looking at her with a gentle and warm smile.
Roberta's mind was all over the place with shock, stunned, scared, and also happy. Then, a tear drops down from her eyes.
Roberta: T-T-Tyler.
Tyler: It's me, Rose.
Not wasting time, Roberta runs at him and jumps on him. The two crashed onto the bed. Roberta was on top of him; their lips were connected. The kiss was full of passion and joy as they embraced their love for each other. Her hands were running through Tyler's hair, feeling his smooth hair while Tyler's was on her firm ass. (Reminder: Roberta is wearing a nightgown.)
Tyler sits up as the two break their kiss. The two held each other close as they stared at each other's eyes. Her eyes then started to tear up more; she couldn't believe he's here.
Roberta: Tyler... is it truly you?
Tyler gently wiped her tears off her face and smiled at her.
Tyler: It's really me, Rose. The same boy who gave you this necklace to remember me and became someone important to you. A friend... and *Holds her hand* your first love.
Roberta: *Smiles* I'm so happy that you are here. You have no idea how much I've been waiting for this.
Tyler: I am also happy, Rose.
Roberta looks at his neck to see some big or small scars.
Tyler: Roberta.
She looks at him.
Tyler: It's not your fault that I've become like this. I chose this path as you did. But look at us, the scars and torture. This path was our consequence. We lost so many and too few. We were fighting for a lost cause all this time. If I knew we would-
Roberta: Don't.
Tyler: Huh?
Roberta: It doesn't matter anymore, Ty. All that matters is we're together now. No more bloodshed. No more chaos. And no more being alone. I want us to be like this forever and nothing else.
Tyler: *Smiles* I'm glad to hear.
Tyler then looks down with a bit of sorrow.
Roberta: Ty?
Tyler didn't say anything but leaned toward her ear.
Tyler: Please... save me, Rose. Please save me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roberta instantly wakes up as she quickly sits up. Her body was covered in sweat. She looks around the room, finding out it was all a dream. She looks down, sad that it was all a dream and Tyler wasn't there.
Roberta: (Tyler, I promise that I'll save you. I promise.)
