Once Rosemarie, Roger, and Phoenix left, Roberta grabbed her sister by her arm. "Come on Rose," Roberta said, pulling her arm. "Let's go shopping," she said.
Rosetta smiled helplessly at her twin sister. 'Today might not be a bad day,' she thought, allowing her sister to drag her to the nearest clothing store.
Rosetta was holding a lot of clothes her sister chose for her and was confused as to why Roberta was giving her clothes to try instead of buying them for herself.
"Why are you picking this many clothes for me?" Rosetta asked, her face was already behind the pile of clothes.
Roberta smiled at Rosetta mischievously. "I've got you a date," she said in a sing-song voice.
"A date?" Rosetta said surprised.
If she remembers correctly, the last time she was on a date, the date became the father of Rosemarie and Roger. That was eighteen years ago, she's thirty-six years old now, and her sister is getting her a date?
"Why would--"
"Okay, you can go and try them now," Roberta said, pushing Rosetta to the changing room.
Rosetta sighed when she entered the changing room. 'What are you up to now, Roberta?'
None of the clothes were her style, they were either too short or too showy. As expected, Roberta doesn't know her style. She wore them still, to please her sister.
Each time she walks out to show her sister, she notices a hint of jealousy in her sister's face before she tells her to go and change her clothes.
Once Rosetta had worn the entire pile, they went to several other stores, to try some more clothes.
None of them were her style and soon she got tired. "I don't think any of these clothes fit me," she said holding her hand in the final store they visited
"Yes, you would look awful in them," Roberta said a bit rudely.
Rosetta smiled. "It's nice to know," she said. "What about this one then," she said picking a pair of trousers and an off-shoulder top. The trousers were baby pink and the top was white.
She knew this would suit her tastes very well. She wears this and the look on her sister's face is surprised then enraged. "This is even worse than the others," she said, belittling how Rosetta looked.
"What do you mean?" Rosetta said posing with it as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I know I look good in this," she said, then she looked at Roberta, her eyes were a bit cold.
Roberta huffs. "Do whatever you like," she said.
Rosetta smiles happily then she hugs her. Roberta stiffens by this action. "Thank you," she said. Although she could tell that Roberta didn't like her or enjoy being her sister, she was happy that they hadn't fought yet, despite being thirty minutes together.
"When is this date?" Rosetta asked still smiling, happily hugging her sister, rubbing their cheeks together.
Roberta pushes her away. "Stop that, you'll ruin my makeup," she said annoyed.
"Sorry," Rosetta said sheepishly.
"The date is tonight," Roberta said, folding her arms. "And since you have today's off, it is going to be a nice opportunity to finally get some action," she said mischievously.
Rosetta looks away nervously. "We haven't even met, and it's only the first date," she said.
Roberta rolls her eyes. "Whatever," she said.
Rosetta was helpless by Roberta's behavior. It was never like this in the past.
Flashback...
"Rose!" Roberta returns home shouting with excitement. They were both thirteen years and they had just differentiated into betas. "I am going be hanging out with some friends tomorrow," she said.
Rosetta was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the both of them. "Really?" she asked excitedly.
Roberta hadn't been able to be friends at all since they were children because of how difficult it was for her to do so.
"I'm happy for you!" Rosetta said hugging her.
Roberta grinned happily at this hug. They heard a beeping and Rosetta ran to the kitchen in panic with Roberta laughing at her carelessness for leaving what she was cooking on the fire.
End of Flashback...
That was the last time that Roberta smiled happily at her. After that, she continued to hang around her friends and they fell apart.
Her friends were a bad influence on her and Roberta refused to listen to her warning about the people she was hanging with.
Their parents never did anything about it. They were too busy with their lives.
And soon the two of them fell apart.
"Hah," Rosetta sighed again.
"Why are you sighing?" Roberta asked.
"Nothing," Rosetta replies. "So why did you get me a date?" she asked.
Before Roberta could reply, there were sounds of plasma guns being shot in the mall. And people were dropping dead with holes behind their heads.
Rosetta notices a red dot aiming at Roberta's head. "Look out," Rosetta said, pulling her and running. Several people were screaming and the entire place was in disarray.
She takes her sister and begins to run taking her holopad from her pocket. "Call Roger!" she said to the device.
When Roger picks up the call, Rosetta begins to yell in panic. "Take your sister and the Young Master and hide," she said.
She stopped running when she noticed that everyone had stopped running as well.
"What is going on?" Roberta asked. "Why did we stop running?"
"We are surrounded," Rosetta said. 'Why is this happening today of all days?' she thought.
Phoenix is here with her as well as her sister and her niece and nephew.
What is she supposed to do?
"If you are going to be an employee in my household, then you have to learn how to fight," Augustus said to Rosetta.
This was four years ago when she was searching for a job and happened to stumble across the young prince.
"It would be disgraceful if you, a servant in my household, don't know how to fight," he said. "If you want to be a servant in my household then you have to learn how to fight and be prepared to face death-like situations."
Rosetta remembers this and takes a little device from her pocket. "Ro," she said calling Roberta by a nickname she used to call her when she was younger. She then hugged her and said, "I am happy you asked to see me, even though you don't like me."
Before Roberta could ask her what she was about to do. Rosetta jumps up in the air and sees several people wearing black op clothes and holding various types of guns. This shows that they were from the terrorist organization that has been bothering the Empire.
She remembers that she had fought them before and she hated them for the number of lives they had taken.
She hears several plasma shots and she dodges all of them, while still on air, clicking the device.
The device turns into armor as well as a large plasma gun. "Soldier 760, ready for battle."
