A/N: So this is the first fanfic I've ever written without just quitting halfway through, so it might stink really badly, but yeah. I stink at writing anyway. Beware of ooc-ness, there's probably a lot v.v

Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did it'd all have been canon a long time ago


"Eheheh, Hima-chan! I brought some candy, let's share it!"

'Sakurako sure loves her candy, hehe!' Himawari got off the swing where the two girls were meeting today. Out of her pocket, Sakurako produced two chocolate lollipops, one in the shape of a flower and the other in the shape of a star. She handed her best friend the flower one, since she knew Himawari loved flowers. She, herself, was more of a fan of stars, anyway.

"Thanks, Sakurako-chan!" The pure delight was written all over Himawari's face, and it made Sakurako beam. She wasn't too into candy and sweets, but she loved to treasure every single thing her friend took the time to buy and gave her. Any candy was savoured, any flower given a special place in a vase on her window sill, any stuffed animal slept in Himawari's bed every night. Because, even though she didn't understand it yet, Himawari loved Sakurako.

The two ate their lollipops savouringly in bliss as they sat on the little swings, rocking slightly. They rambled on with each other with the latest cartoons, bedtime stories they were told, and other little things like that. At some points, they would sit in a comfortable silence, swinging slightly and staring at the clouds. It was during one of these moments that Sakurako suddenly broke the silence with a quite heavy question.

"Nee, Himawari, do you think we'll ever stop being friends?" Himawari looked over at her friend to find she was gazing somberly at the grass below them. The troubled look on Sakurako's face worried her deeply, and she found herself jumping off her own swing and hugging her friend tightly. Without warning, she started to cry into Sakurako's chest.

"E-eh?! H-Himawari? I didn't mean to make you cry! I'm sorry!"

Himawari sniffed. "It's.. ok. I... I would never stop being your friend, Sa-chan! Never, ever, ever! No matter what!" She didn't know what was overcoming her, but Himawari couldn't stop the tears from flowing, or the words from stumbling out of her mouth. "You're like family, Sakurako... I like you more than I like my own parents! I... I never want us to stop being friends, ever!"

Sakurako just sat there, stunned a bit by Himawari's reaction and words, patting her back subconsciously to comfort her out of her emotional state. This was normal; Sakurako always tried her best to comfort the blue-haired girl whenever she cried. As Himawari began to calm down a bit, Sakurako thought of a resolve.

" Hey, Himawari-chan, Sakurako has a great idea!"

"Hmm?" Sakurako pulled away a bit, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked back up at Sakurako.

The blonde chuckled a bit. "The other day, onee-chan found some marriage registration forms in the basement. What if we filled one out so we'll always be together forever!"

Himawari beamed. "Sakurako, I love you!"

"Sakurako loves Hima-chan, too! Heehee~"


A/N: So that's it for now, I wrote an addition as a sort of when-they're-older thing and I may or may not post it tomorrow. Might. I dunno. We'll see. Reviews would be nice, so I know whether to post more, and what kinds of things I should fix, etc. c:
