~Prologue: The Beginnings of a flower~

The dawn was breaking of the small peaceful town; birds chirped happily to signal the new day, and the dew on the grass gleamed softly. All the inhabitants of the town were still sleeping; expect for one.

A girl with long, silver hair and deep, shining blue eyes.

A girl who wore a simple white dress, with a blue ribbon tied around the collar.

A girl who wore no shoes, but instead walked around barefoot.

The girl walked through the small forest that was on the outskirts of the small town. Her long hair swayed behind her with each step she took. Right now, the girl was on a mission. She was trying to find someone to help her grant her wish.

The problem was she didn't know who to go to, or what her wish was.

But that didn't faze the girl; instead, it only seemed to enhance her determination.

When she cleared the forest, she began to walk down the main road.

For some reason, the town looked very familiar to the girl. She knew which roads to go, and where the dead ends where.

She was hungry, so she decided to go to a little ramen shop.

She tried to place her order, but they kept on ignoring her, like they couldn't see her.

The girl didn't understand why no one would help her.

So she left, and let her feet lead her to a small house that looked very familiar. She didn't knock; instead, she slid the door open and walked in.

"Tadaima," She whispered to no one in particular.

The house still looked the same like it did all those years ago. She noticed small changes here and there as she made her way inside the house. To her surprise, there was a boy in the kitchen. He was making miso ramen, the girl's favorite. And what's more, the boy also seemed to tug a memory somewhere in the girl's mind, and it wasn't until he turned around that she knew who he was.

"Jin-tan," she said, happiness weaved in her voice.

The boy turned around, and stared right at her. Shock was evident all over his features, and he dropped the egg he held in his hands.

"Me-Menma?"

The girl nodded, a smile breaking out over her face.

"Hai, Jin-tan. It's me. Menma."

The boy blinked a couple of times, rubbed his eyes, and slapped himself.

She was still there.

Jin-tan, for the first time in his life, fainted.
