Summary:
Rima is at the park crying because her parents were planning on having a divorce. She meets a boy just around her age who tries to cheer her up. Will she accept his help or just carry on crying her heart out?
A tear fell from Rima's eyes as she sat on the green grass at the park. She stared at her reflection in the little pond in front of her . She tried to hold in the rest of her tears but couldn't contain herself as the shower of tears fell down her cheeks. She cried and cried her heart out until she had no more tears left to shed.
A young girl just around her age walked towards her and gave her a smile. "Why are you crying miss?" He asked. Rima sweat dropped as she realized that the person she thought was a girl was actually a boy. "Th...that's non of y...your business." She replied in a stutter. The boy just shook his head and sat next to her. "I want to help you and I can't do that unless you tell me what's wrong." He stated. Rima just scoffed in response. "Why would I tell you? I don't even know you." She huffed before folding her arms and looking away. "I'm Fujisaki Nagihko, what's your name?" he asked. "R...Rima. Mashiro R...Rima." She replied her voice still cracking. "Well Rima, Come with me!" He exclaimed before grabbing her arm and pulling her away.
Rima screamed and tried to get him to pull his arm away but he wouldn't listen. "Wait where are you taking me!?" Rima shouted. But Nagihko didn't reply he just kept dragging her off somewhere. Finally they arrived at an ice cream stand and waited in line. "You dragged me off just to get some ice cream!" Rima growled angrily. Nagihko just chuckled. "Everyone loves ice cream. In fact when I'm upset I always think to myself a nice ice cream cone will do me good!" He explained.
Rima just rolled her eyes and hanged her head low. "Ice cream won't help me. My reasoning of being upset is too serious to be fixed by ice cream." Rima stated before her eyes began to go watery again. Nagihko just sighed. "Then tell me why you're sad?" He replied. She didn't reply she just looked away.
Finally they reached the front of the line and the ice cream seller looked towards them, waiting for them to tell him what flavors they wanted. "I'll have a strawberry flavored ice cream please." Nagihko said politely. "What would you like Rima?" Nagihko asked. She didn't reply again Nagihko just sighed. "If you don't want any then..." Nagihko started before being cut off by Rima. "Strawberry. I would liked strawberry flavored ice cream as well." She said softly. The ice cream seller nodded before handing them both there ice cream cones.
They both sat on the park bench and began licking there ice creams in silence. "So Rima... has this cheered you up?" Nagihko asked. Rima just shook her head. "No!" Rima shouted . Nagihko just sighed for the hundredth time that day.
After they finished there ice creams Nagihko grabbed her hand and dragged her off somewhere again. This time they arrived at the playground where many kids were happy playing around. "This place is for kids." Rima stated before rolling her eyes... again. "Nonsense! Everyone can have fun at the playground." Nagihko stated before picking up Rima and carrying her on his back.
Nagihiko then placed the golden haired girl on one of the swings and before she could object began pushing the swing. "Aaaaaargh! Stop!" Rima yelled but Nagihko wouldn't stop he just laughed. "Aren't you having fun!" Nagihko smiled. Rima just shook her head and pouted.
Nagihko then picked up Rima again but this time put her on the slide and pushed her down. Nagihko then slid down the slide himself and laughed. "Wasn't that fun Rima!" Rima just shook her head and glared at him. "No that was horrifying! I'm leaving!" Rima growled before stomping off angrily.
Nagihko just sighed again and ran off after her. "Wait Rima!" Nagihko shouted loudly, "At least tell me why you're upset!" Nagihko shouted after her. Rima sighed and stopped. "If I tell you why I'm upset will you leave me alone!" Rima yelled. "Maybe..." Nagihko replied. Rima sighed. "Fine!" Rima huffed. "Some time ago I was almost kidnapped and because of that my parents were always fighting. Now they said there having a divorce and I don't know what to do. Me and my parents won't be together anymore and I'll have to choose between one of them! If I choose one and not the other... the other will hate me!" Rima sobbed sadly.
Nagihko sighed and looked down. How was he meant to cheer up a girl with such a bad problem. After a while of thought he grinned as he remembered something his grandmother told him. "Rima come with me!" Nagihko smiled before grabbing Rima's hand and dragging her somewhere else. "Wait Nagihko! You said if I told you what was wrong you'd leave me alone!" Rima shouted. "I said maybe." Nagihko smirked. Rima just sighed in defeat.
Rima was taken somewhere in a field where a small apple tree with a larger tree next to it on one side and a chopped down one by the other was. "Look at this little tree. It was made by the seeds of both the larger tree and the one that was chopped down as well. It's like the large tree and the one that was chopped down are the little tree's parents. Even though one tree was chopped down the little tree is still nice and healthy and growing fine." Nagihko explained.
Rima just gave the boy a questioning look. "Your telling me this because?" Rima asked. "Imagine your the little tree and the larger tree next to it is the one you chose to be with while the chopped down one is the one you chose not to be with. Even though your leaving one of your parents or the the tree was being chopped down he or she will still love you very much. Also just like the little tree you will grow strong, happy and healthy even if you are living with a single parent." Nagihko told her with a smile.
Rima just stared at the strangely feminine looking boy with wide eyes. "Y...you think so?" Rima asked. "I know so." Nagihko replied. "Thank you Nagihko." Rima smiled. "Please call me Nagi." Nagihko replied with a smile. "O...Ok Nagi." Rima replied a small blush showing on her cheeks.
The two raced off to the playground and this time Rima had a genuinely good time.
Me: What do ya think?
Rima: It was interesting I guess
Nagihko: Rima thought I was a girl!
Rima: Well at least you weren't all depressed throughout the story
Me: *sweat drops* R&R everyone!
