~Prologue~
Len and Miku were just kids, running around playing tag, as innocent as can be. Of course, they weren't perfect little 12 year olds, but they were really never bad. They had been best friends since basically pre-school when Len had 'stopped' some guys teasing Miku about her teal hair color. He had called them all 'huge meanie pants' and told them to leave her alone. Afterwards, Len and Miku had struck up a conversation about whatever they thought about; animal cookies, the carnival, their stupid older siblings.
Today was no different than any other. Miku had climbed the tree, like any normal 12 year old kid would. Len was encouraging her on, yelling things like "You can do it!" and "Make it to the top!"
Eventually, Miku had made it to the top, and Len had tried to join her. But he failed. He nearly fell off, so after that, he refused to climb any higher and jumped back to the safe, sweet ground. Miku teased him afterwards, but he brushed it off; they were always teasing each other.
At least it didn't seem any different….Until Miku sat down in the grass in her front yard. Len lived in the house next door with his twin sister, Rin. Rin was best friends with Miku, but she just really didn't have the bond that Miku and Len had.
Anyways,Len stared at Miku; teal clashed with bright cerulean. "Miku, I have something serious to tell you…."
Miku stared back at him, a concerned expression spread across her pretty face. "Yeah?"
"I'm….moving." came Len's cold reply.
Miku froze, then shook her head in disbelief. "You're joking; you hafta be. You can't leave me here alone! I have no other friends! Everyone hates me for my hair color; even though that Luka girl at school has pink hair." She huffed.
Len shrugged, shaking his head as well. "I wish I was kidding, but my mom took a job across the state, and we hafta move there. I don't wanna leave you Miku, I really don't. You're my best friend; nothing more, nothing less…I'm sorry."
Miku felt tears spill over her eyes and onto her cheeks. She wiped them off, ashamed that she was crying at something as stupid as-No, this wasn't stupid…She had a reason to cry. But she cried silently, still wiping tears off her face.
Len felt especially guilty that he couldn't do anything about this. He was only 12, anyways…"Anyways, while I'm still here, me, you, and Rin can have fun for the rest of the day. Lemme go get her!" He gave Miku a reassuring smile and stood up, taking off toward his house which was directly beside Miku's.
Miku sighed and nodded, watching him go. She decided to go in the house for something; a banana and a couple of oranges. She knew the twins loved them. She went back outside to see a flash of blonde hair before she was knocked to ground by the fun-loving girl, Rin. She recognized her from her high voice yelling, "Miiikuuuu!"
Miku looked up at the pair of bright cerulean eyes that blinked back into her own. "Hey, Rinny." She stated simply. She always greeted the bubbly girl with that phrase.
"Hey, Miku-Miku!" came Rin's usual response. She jumped up and off of Miku, starting to ramble on as Miku and Len stared at her. "I-I mean, we're so sorry we hafta move, it's all our Mom's fault, really! It's not fair, I wanna stay here and help protect you from those mean bulli-Wait, are those oranges?" She stopped her ranting to pick one up off the ground and peel it.
Len rolled his eyes. "Yeah, like we said, we're sorry. But we can have fun while it lasts, right?"
So Miku and the twins spent the whole day together. They played all the games that they used to play when they were younger; and had lots of fun doing it.
Their fun was interrupted by the twins' mom, Lily, calling for them. They planned to leave that evening because of less traffic or something.
They had a tiny group hug; this was the worst but most fun day of their lives, they decided. Miku handed them both a friendship bracelet, then put on her own. They all said "Rin Len, & Miku-BFFS" around the bands. They had one last goodbye as all of them nearly cried before the twins piled into the car after their mother, and Miku kept waving both her hands until the car was out of sight.
That was when she cried.
