One day at Domremy, Jeanne is cleaning her house, because he frère [1], Francis Bonnefoy will come at 10 o’clock. When she cleans the guest room, she finds a music box on the table.
“A music box?,” She asked to herself.
This is her first time to see there’s stuff in guest room, usually… she didn’t find anything in the guest room. Then she puts the music box beside her soeur [2] picture, Jeanne D’Arc. Jeanne is fifteen years old girl who always wear a cross necklace from her sister and France’s flag ribbon. She has an older sister, but she died in the one hundred years war. It’s 9.30 A.M, Jeanne already in the garden, sit in the swing. In surrounding the garden, there’re only fleur de rose [3] and fleur de lys [4] .
“Soeur, I hope you in here now, play the swing with me again,” She feels little sad, remembering about her past.

“Frere Francis!” She often run to her brother, gives him a hug.
“Oui [7] Jeanne, how are you?” Francis looked happy, meet his little sister again.
“Fine, let’s come in to the house” Jeanne invites him to come in to her house.
Francis looked happy when he sees his little sister’s house so clean and so tidy. He doesn’t supposition that her can cleans her house alone like this.
“Wow! Mon Cherie! It’s so clean” Francis said while sitting in the sofa.
“You too excessive, Francis” Jeanne laugh at her brother.
“Anyway, you looked little sad, what’s wrong, Mon Cherie?” Francis realizes that Jeanne’s face looked sad.
“Ah… only remembering about the past, anyway let’s go to your room first, we put your stuffs first” Jeanne brings some his stuffs.
Francis follows her in her back. After that, Jeanne goes to the Pavilion near the garden and Francis is taking a bath. In the pavilion, Jeanne plays a piano who the owner is her sister.
“Soeur Anne [8] I borrow your piano for a while ok?” Jeanne shows her smile while plays the piano.

Francis direct conscious and ask to Jeanne.
“Mon Cherie, from who do you learn that song?”
“From… From someone who take care me four years ago after my sister died” She answer Francis’s question.
“Her name?” He asked again.
“I forgot her name, but I remember that she lives in Paris, that’s all,” She answers again and go to her room.
“In Paris? Maybe…,” He is thinking of her neighbor who likes playing piano. He direct goes into the house, search the music box.
“Where’s the music box!” Francis said.

“What’s wrong, Francis?”
“Did you see a music box in this table when you clean this room?,”
“Ah! Maybe that music box! Follow me!” Jeanne said while run to her room, followed by Francis in her back.
Then, Jeanne gives the music box beside her sister’s picture to Francis.
“I found it when I’m cleaning that room, because I haven’t seen that music box, I bring that to my room” She explained it to Francis.
“I think it’s gone…” He looked little depressed.
“Ehehe… Sorry, anyway… Que faites-vous avec la boite a musique de mon soeur [10] Francis?” She apologized and asks again.
