A/N: A new story that focuses more on friendship. This story itself will have the characters talk about romance and things, but won't actually have any couples; the romance mentioned is normally talking about romance between people outside of the little group this focuses on. This is my attempt at writing a friendship/family/drama/tragedy with a little bit of fantasy. The basis of the story itself is loosely based off of an original story I have yet to get around to properly writing/drawing.

Also for this story Truth and Elsa are not Fine and Rein's parents, but rather some of their friends along with Moon Malia and a few other adult characters from the show, for plot purposes.

But enough of my ramblings. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter One

Sister

*.*.*.*

"Fine, this is your sister Rein." Fine, at age ten, met her twin sister for the first time.

"Hi! My name is Fine! Let's play!" Fine smiled. Rein was taken to some place before Fine was old enough to even remember Rein, but Fine had always been told that she had a twin sister who she would meet one day. However, she was never told why Rein had to be away, but right now, Fine was just happy to have her whole family together.

"…You think Altair and Vega miss each other when they're separated?" Rein asked Fine.

"Who are they?" Fine answered with a question herself.

Rein's frown grew bigger and she refused to talk to Fine for the rest of the day.

"Give her some time; this is all new to her." Fine's mother, Splendor, told her, "Perhaps try asking her again in two days? You know, after she's had time to adjust."

In two days Fine tried to ask Rein again, "Do you want to play with me Rein?"

Again, Rein had asked her "You think Vega and Altair miss each other when they're separated?"

Fine had finally figured out who the two were after asking her teacher so this time she answered confidently, "They're just stars! Stars don't have feelings so they can't miss each other! I know 'cause Ms. Anna told me so."

Rein started to cry and ran into her room and locked the door. Fine did not understand. Why was she crying? She did not say anything wrong; she only told Rein what she had learned from her smart and kind teacher. Fine decided to give up for the day and went to go play with her friends.

This process repeated for two weeks, Fine would ask Rein to play, Rein would ask about Altair and Vega, Fine would answer the way her teacher answered her, Rein would either frown or cry and then lock herself in her room.

After those two weeks Fine gave up trying to get Rein to play with her. She did not need a sister to have fun before so she would not need her to have fun now.

Fine would, occasionally, try to talk to her sister; asking her questions like what her favorite color was, what her favorite type of candy was, what she wanted to be when she grew up, why did she not have to go to school, but every time Rein would only respond with the same exact question she asked when they first met: "You think Vega and Altair miss each other when they're separated?"

This happened for two years before Fine gave up completely on her sister. She would never understand her sister and her obsession with Altair and Vega. She stopped even bothering to converse with Rein after those two years despite her family trying to coax her into speaking with Fine.

'Why should I bother if she won't even try to talk to me about except for that stupid question? I already gave her an answer!' Fine thought. Since Rein usually stayed inside during the day Fine went out during the weekends and stayed at school as long as she could or went over to a friend's, anything to keep her parents from trying to force her to talk to Rein.

However, on the summer before Fine's first year of high school, Fine's friends asked her about her house…

*.*.*.*

"We always go to one of our houses, never yours!" Sophie said to Fine, "Come on let's go to yours today! Please!"

"I don't think that's a good idea…" Fine mumbled.

"Why? Your parents are nice! Besides you didn't have a problem when we were kids, why'd you suddenly change your mind when we turned twelve?" Truth asked.

"Well, it's just…I have a sister who's really weird…And even though she clearly doesn't want to talk to me my parents always try to force us together. I don't want that to keep happening, why should I be the one putting in so much effort if she won't do the same." Fine said.

"Well we'll be there with you so it should be okay right?" Toma said, "After all, your parents can't force you to do anything while you have friends around right?"

"I guess…" Fine mumbled.

"Then it's settled!" Sophie cheered, "Let's go to Fine's place!"

Unfortunately for Fine, Toma was wrong.

When Fine arrived home her parents were delighted to see her bring home her friends, but her father, Haze, pulled Fine aside.

"Introduce your friends to your sister! I'll call her down." Haze said.

"Dad please! She doesn't like me and I doubt she'd want to talk to any of my friends." Fine frowned.

"Come now Fine, at least try to make…"

"Yes 'try to make an effort to get along with your sister'. I've tried for two years and I'm tired of it! It's not fair! She never tries to talk to me, but you and mom always think it's because I'm not trying hard enough! Why am I the one always getting this lecture!? Why don't you tell this to Rein!?"

"Fine, please…" Haze pleaded. Fine sighed.

"Alright, but if she starts acting weird again it's not my fault!" Fine went back to her friends and reluctantly brought them to the door of Rein's room. She knocked on the door and Rein stepped out wearing her frown as usual.

"Uh….These are my friends." Fine pointed to everyone behind her. She was not sure what else to say, she did not know how to properly communicate with Rein, it was worse than trying to talk to someone who spoke a different language!

"You think Vega and Altair miss each other when they're separated?" It was a simple question Rein asked her sister and the friends she brought over.

"What? Who are Vega and Altair?" Fine asked. It had been two and a half years since Fine heard that question come from Rein's mouth so she seems to have forgotten all about it.

"Altair and Vega…are you talking about the stars?" Toma said.

Rein nodded.

"You know about this?" Fine looked at Toma.

"Well, yes…" Toma fidgeted, "When I was still living in Japan there was something called Tanabata. I know of them since in that festival celebrates the meeting of Vega and Altair, or more specifically the deities they represent, Orihime and Hikoboshi, who were said to be lovers separated by the Milky Way. They were only allowed to meet once on the seventh day and on the seventh month of the lunisolar calendar."

Rein, upon hearing how knowledgeable Toma was on the subject, gave him a small smile and nodded.

"Well they're still just stars though." Fine said, "Stars don't have feelings."

"Yeah, even if you rephrase the question to 'do Hikoboshi and Orihime miss each other' the story is still fictional so how can something fake have feelings?" Truth commented.

"I don't really know much about it so I can't say one way or the other, but since Fine and Truth are saying they don't have feelings then I guess they probably don't miss each other." Sophie said.

Toma just fidgeted uncomfortably and did not answer.

It seems she did not get the answer she wanted as Rein went back into her room and you could hear the lock on her door turn.

"You're right your sister is weird." Truth said.

"Well, whatever, I tired and she didn't bother trying herself so let's go to my room and play some Super Smash Bros!" Fine grinned. She and her friends went to Fine's room not caring about Rein in the slightest.
