"Sanji," six-year-old Hitomi said sadly as she said goodbye to her best friend. "We will see each other again... right?"
"Of course we will. I promise," Sanji said as he held his arms out for a last hug goodbye. Hitomi hugged Sanji and said,"I'm gonna miss you."
"I'm gonna miss you too"
"I'll be waiting for you to visit."
"I can't wait to share all my stories with you. But I have to leave now."
"Make sure you send Pocu with letters."
"I'll send the bird to Joe."
Sanji climbed aboard a ship on the smaller side.
"Bye Hitomi!" he said as he waved.
"Bye Bye!" Hitomi shouted back.
Tears ran from her eyes.
she walked up the tall hill by the dock and watched her friend sail away.
Hitomi slwoly walked home.
She was happy for Sanji. He was living his dream.
She went through her secret entrance and into the castle walls. When she walked through the castle doors, her parents angry faces glared at her.
"Hitomi, where have you been!" her father shouted.
"I was playing around," hitomi said.
"You're grounded for not telling us where you went to and for missing cerfew," Her mother said.
Hitomi was escorted to her room by court officials.
She sat on her bed and the door was locked behind her.
She began to cry.
"I miss him so much."
Days passed.
Weeks passed.
Still nothing from Sanji.
Months passed.
Not one word.
Years passed.
Hitomi had thought he forgot about her.
Until
during the 8th year since their departure, something from Sanji arrived.
Dear Hitomi, there isn't enough paper to write all of my stories on. I'll be there in five days.
Sanji.
It wasn't much but it made Hitomi very, very happy. She was fourteen now and she was overjoyed that something came from him.
