Shoebox of Photographs
I know I know, I'm going to work on the other series ASAP (I miss writing here, but I have so much CRAP lately…) Then the plot bunny hit me with a samurai kick so heck, decided to let it win. Love to you all, enjoy! ;)-

He was walking through the hallway in the dark. It was late. He had an intense dream. About him. About all of them, really. He had thought about just getting a snack. Maybe she would want something to eat too. But he had gotten sidetracked. By accident, of course. He was drawn towards the closet. He almost tripped over the plant in the hallway. She had insisted on getting it. He smiled to the dark. He loved it when she did things like that…was so cute…all her quirky little bits.
His hand grasped the knob, and he flipped on the hall light. It was cluttered. His face was one of determination. He knew it was in here somewhere.

Faded.
Two boys.
One girl.
She's in the middle.
The one on the left looks like he's had hard times.
The one on the right looks a bit more optimistic.
She looks happy.

On the cover is a peaceful scene of a tree swaying over the edge of an island, star-shaped fruits dangling from its branches.
Hey buddy ol' pal!
It's been funny here without you, ya know? You really need to come back once in awhile. Gets lonely on this stupid island. Then again, it's not so stupid…was worth living on, right? 'Course I'm right. I'm always right, you little bugger. Bet I can still beat your ass in any day. But let's not argue, right? Right. Wish you would've explored the island with us more. By the way, I'm sending a photograph, maybe you'll recognize some people in it. –wink wink- Haha…so anyway, don't be afraid to keep in touch. I'm running out of space; the Island's postal service has gotten really picky, you know? Well…guess you don't know. Anyway. Bring that girl of yours with you some time. And hey! You better answer this one.
--You know who I am
(An envelope. It's been opened before.)
(A stamp. It's on a piece of paper. Saved.)
It is an image of one of the star fruits. It looked treasured.
