The still doll and the song bird

Prologue

Years ago:

There was a little boy that nobody ever talks to. He has White hair, Grey eyes, and showed no emotions. He always played with his toys. All of the kids called him a still doll Because he was dull and emotionless like one. A gang of boys saw and started to talk. One of them said, " look at still doll, playing all by himself." Another boy continued, " I bet he's going to be lonely for the rest of his life. I bet he has no parents". The little boy never cared what other kids say. He would just play with his toys like nothing happened. Another person was a girl. She was a brunette, with Hazel eyes, and a caring personality. Any kid would want to be her. Whenever she sings, you can hear and angel coming your way. She was sensitive and cares for others, but she understands people and how they really are on the inside. Some may say she was an angel that god created. One day these two met in a park where all the children played. The little boy was playing with his action figures and the little girl just arrived. He wore a white shirt with matching shorts and shoes. The girl wore a white shirt with a yellow skirt and sandals. The little girls was about to find some flowers until she saw him. Tat was when their crossed paths. She was about to go over there when a girl stopped her. The other girl asked her, " your not really going over there are you?" with concern in her voice. The girl replied, " I am why you ask?" A boy came in and answered, " Because he a still doll, he has no heart, and has no emotions." The replied, " you don't know the person unless you try." She went to the little boy as the others felt guilty for her. She was across from him and said, " hi there." The boy looked up from his toys and saw the little girl staring at him. There eyes met hazel and grey. He just nods to her. She asked, " mind if I play with you?'' All he did was nod and gave her one of his action figures. They were playing during the whole day. During the day, She felt hungry. The girl stood up and went to the Ice cream stand, bought two chocolate ice cream cones, and went back to the little boy. The little girl said, " here you go," as she gave him the ice cream. The boy took her offer and nodded. They were licking their ice cream quietly. The girl said, " This is nice. Eating ice cream on a beautiful day like this". The boy was quiet and kept on licking his ice cream. After they finished, they continued to play with the toys. The boys finally said to her, " why are you still playing with me?" She looked at him in shock as he just talk for the first time. He continued, " after all, they are telling the truth. I am a still doll, I have no emotions or anything. You could have played with the others, but instead you chose to play with me. So why do you play with me?" The girl was back in reality, she gave him a special smile that no one knows about and replied, " Because I chose myself. I don't care what others say about you. I chose to play with you. I know deep inside, you are really caring, sweet intelligent person". For the first time in the boys life, he blushed at her statement about him. He turned around and replied, " you must be sick." The girl giggles and said, " your funny, I like you." She reached her hand out and said, " my name is eika mitsukai. What is yours." The boy took her hand and replied, " Nate River". When their hands touched, it felt like sparks. They're friendship began. The sun was setting and it was almost time to go. Eika stood up and said, " time for me to go home." Nate stopped her. Eika turned around and he said, " will I see you again?" Eika smiled and replied, " sure you will. How about we go somewhere in two days." Nate nodded and watched her leave. He thought "strange girl."

Two days later, Nate was waiting for Eika in the park. He was wearing a white shirt and white pants with shoes. Eika said, " N-KUN" while she ran towards him. She stopped and was panting. She continues, " sorry I was late, I was finding my necklace." Nate looked at what she was wearing. Eika was wearing a white sundress with sandals to match. The inside of him was shocked. Nate said, Where are we going?'' Eika grabbed his hand and replied, " were going into town and explore." Nate was following her and thought, " She's really weird". They went into a toy store where all the new toys were displayed. Nate was shocked in a surprising way. Even though he wore on a blank face, Eika knew he was happy. She looked in the aisle for puzzled games and found a Rubik's cube. Eika thought, " Nate would definitely love this toy." She went to the front desk while Nate was exploring the aisles full of toys. The toy keeper name Eric knows eika and said, " hello Eika what can I help you with." Eika said, " I would like to buy this Rubik's Cube Nee-san." Eric is a Brunette and blue eyes like their mother. Eric asked, " are you buying that for that boy over there?" Eika nodded. He asked, " is he your boyfriend?" Eika blushed and said, " no, he's my friend Nee-san." Eric said, " you can have it. Its on the house.'' Eric put it in a bag and eika replied, " thank you." She looked at Nate and said, " N-kun, I bought the thing I needed, Lets go." He nodded and left with her. There next destination was and deli. They went in and Eika bought a candle, a match and a chocolate cupcake. They went to the movie theatre and watched a detective movie. As they were on their way back to the park, Eika touched her neck and was freaking out. Nate looked at her and asked her, " what's wrong?'' Eika replied, " my necklace… its gone.'' Nate saw tears in her eyes and said, " stay here." He left to find her necklace. He went back into the toy store and saw eika's star shaped necklace. He grabbed it and went back to Eika. He looked at Eika, went in his pocket and took out her necklace. Eika was shocked and replied, " found my necklace." Nate put it around her neck and said, " crying doesn't fit you." Eika hugged him, gave him her special smile and said, " arigatou N-kun." He nodded at her. Eika continued, " its not too late, to the park." At the park, They sat down on the bench. Eika turned around arranging the stuff that she bought, while Nate was trying to figure out what is she up to. Eika turned around with the cupcake with a lit candle on it and said, " Happy Birthday Nate." Nate was so shocked about what she did. He asked, " how did you know it was my birthday?" Eika explained, " I just felt it was your birthday. I took you to the movies because it looked you love mystery movies. Oh I got you something." she gave him the bag. He opened the bag and was shocked what it was. Nate held it with both of his hands. Eika said, " it's a Rubik's Cube. Since your so intelligent, I thought I could give you something that could be focused on your skill. Anyway make a wish Birthday boy." He blew the candle. He said, " no one ever didi this for me before." Eika replied That's what friends are for."

" Chan" he said. Eika asked, " what did you say?" He looked up and said, " Arigatou Ei-Chan." Eika saw Nate smile for the first time in his life. She blushed but nodded. They watched the sunset together. Everyday, the two of them would hang out with each other day and night. One time they even went to play at her house and get to know each other more. The closer Nate got to Eika, the more he showed his feelings for her. They were sitting on their bench and Eika asked, " hey Nate, If you would become a detective I think you should use a cover name." Nate asked, " like what." while playing with his toys. Eika replied, " how about Near." ( this is my version of Nears past) Nate thought about it for a moment and said, " that would work I guess." Eika smiled at her success. Nate said to her, " once you become a singer, Call your self Angel." Eika smiled and replied, " Okay." Nate would tell Eika all about his life and how he's in a gifted program. A month Later, Nate went to her house and found her crying. Nate asked, " what's wrong?" he saw the moving truck. Eika replied, " M-my Family and I are moving away somewhere." Nate dropped his cards and thought to himself, " what?" Eika continued, " were leaving today, but I don't want to leave." Nate heard her mother say, " Eika, its time to go." Eika stand up and was about to leave when Nate grabbed her wrist. Nate said, " I don't want you to leave. You are the only one who understands me. You always cheered me up. Always defended me and was by my side all the time. I Don't want to see the girl I love leave me." Eika turned around and saw Nate blushed red. She thought, " Nate," she was crying with tears of joy. She replied, " I love you to N-kun." Nate and Eika looked at each other and smiled sadly. Eika said, " I'll write letters to you everyday." Nate replied, " I'll write back. We'll meet again when where sixteen. Okay?" Eika nodded an Okay. Nate ripped his heart card in half and gave the second piece to Eika. Nate replied, " remember me by." They hugged once more and Eika went inside the truck. As the truck was moving, Nate was running head to head with the truck and said, " I LOVE YOU EIKA MITSUKAI.'' Eika replied, " I LOVE YOU TOO NATE RIVER. I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU." the truck was out of sight. Nate felt something dripped from his eyes. This was the first time Nate has ever cried.

During the years, they did what they promised. They would write to each other everyday. Until Nate was one of the two successor of L. They had to burn his letters but Nate kept the card and his toys. They asked him, " what is your name?" Nate replied in his tone, " my name is Near." Nate and Eika are both making their dreams come true.

Years later they are both sixteen and will meet again .
