'I Love You'

the love story of a loli-japanese girl and a rock star

by livi and emilie


Joseph Jonas and Nicholas Jonas burst through the doors of their new home, boxes in hand. Joe, as uncoordinated as he was, fell to the ground in a pile of books and papers. The 17 year old boy groaned in pain and shifted. Nick burst out into laughter and set down his own box on a table near the door. He helped Joe up and laughed more.

"Its not funny!" Joe defended.

"Yeah. It is funny." Joe scoffed and picked up his box and put the things back inside.

After a while of unpacking, Joe and Nick sat in a large shared room unpacking boxes.

Joe finished up the box he was working on and threw the empty box to the side, revealing a box labeled 'Joe + Nick, Old' Joe took immediate interest in it. I set the box on his bed and sat down. He opened the box and it exploded in a cloud of smoke, and Joe coughed. Nick looked to Joe and gave him and curious look. Nick wandered over to his brother's bed and sat down. The two boys looked inside to see a mess of things covered in dust. At the top, pulled out a old dusty picture and gasped.

Her.

The picture was of three kids, all around their tweens. Joe at age 13, Nick at 11 and a tiny blonde girl at 10. The girl sat in the middle of the two brunet boys and all three were hugging and smiling at the camera, sitting in the grass under a tree.

The girl had extremely pale skin and strange makeup. She had a small stripe of blue going horizontal on the kick of her nose and atashi markings coming off of her eyes in blue. She had bright red cheeks and nose. A blue Japanese Hello Kitty shirt on and a black pleated skirt and bright blue tights, and no shoes. She had long, almost white blonde hair that hung down past her shoulders to her mid back. Both of the boys looked like totally normal boys, but the girl was intricate.

The three of them seemed to be happier than they had ever been in their lives.

Nick sighed. He showed the picture to Joe and Joe had the same reaction.

"Lilly…" They both said in unison.

Flashback!

A girl sat in the grass in the park. She was 7. Her name . Lilly was quite different. She had a blue skirt on and a Bjork shirt, converse and pink arm warmers. She had atashi make up on, which anyone would find strange for a 7 year old, but she did in a royal blue shade and red cheeks and a red nose.

She was playing with her dollfie. Dollfies are intricate ball jointed Korean dolls that were very beautiful. Lilly's dollfie was named Toshi. She had shoulder length red hair and was quite beautiful. She was giggling to herself, playing with the dollfie, when she had a ball thrown at her head. She squealed and got knocked down. She started crying.

Then a boy approached her, about 10.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" he said. Lilly continued crying. He kneeled down to her view and pulled her into a hug. She stopped crying after a few seconds and looked at him.

"Baka na Ja-ku!" She shouted at him. He gave her a confused look.

"What?" He asked, not realizing he was still holding the girl.

"Nihon-jin desu ka?" She asked. Joe gave her another confused look.

"Um… what?"

"You…. America? She asked in broken English. Joe nodded.

"Where are you from?"

"Japan." She said. Joe smiled and nodded. Lilly smiled and grabbed Toshi and showed her to him. "Watashi no desu." She said showing him that she was her's. She then told him her name. "Toshi chan." Joe looked at the dollfie and smiled. She was pretty.

"Her name is Toshi?" He asked. Lilly smiled and nodded. Unfortunate for Lilly, she could understand most English, but couldn't speak more than the basics. Lilly had grown up with her father in Tokyo and then he was relocated to Northern New Jersey, via Wyckoff. "She's pretty." He said.

"O-namae wa nan desu ka?" She asked. Joe could hardly understand what she was trying to ask him, but heard 'name' in the mix.

"Are you asking my name?"

She nodded and muttered; "Hi!" which, is yes in Japanese.

"I'm Joe." Lilly smiled.

"Watashi no namae wa Lilly chan." She introduced herself in Japanese.

"Your name is Lilly?" Lilly nodded, smiling. "So… can you understand English?" Lilly nodded.

"Yes… but… spoken is bad." She stuttered out. Joe nodded. Then, another boy appeared. Joe's brother, Nick, who was only a bit older than Lilly at age 8.

"Joe! Are you coming back?"

"Um… Lilly, this is my brother, Nick." He said looking at her. Lilly smiled at Nick.

"Why is she so quiet?" Nick asked.

"She doesn't speak much English." Joe explained. Lilly nodded. 'She understands it, but can't speak much."

"Oh… where are you from?" Nick asked.

"Japan."

"WHOA!" Nick said. He sat down in the grass next to them. After a few minutes of conversation, Lilly's mother appeared.

"Kite kudasai, Lilly-chan." Lilly's mother insisted for her to come. Lilly nodded and turned to the boys. She leaned in and kissed both of them on the cheek, stood up and took Toshi into her arms. She waved to them and smiled.

"Hajimemashite!" She said good bye to them and ran away, taking her mother's hand and looking back at the boys. She smiled at them.

End of flash back….
………………………………...

Lilly soon turned from a stranger, to Nick and Joe's best friend. She taught them Japanese and they taught her English. They soon became accustomed to her strange ways, and liked her. She easily became part of the family. She was a strange girl who loved playing with her dollfie and pretending she was a cat.

She was always welcome in the Jonas house, mostly because of family problems. Her parents often fought, and when they did, she bunked at the Jonas' house. They had gone through numerous adventures from Lilly's climbing phase to building a tree house, and loved every minute of it.

Lilly had a strange relationship with Kevin, due to the fact that just as Lilly started being friends with Nick and Joe, Kevin was going through a ninja phase where he started watching anime and reading manga and learned Japanese, making it so they could talk and Lilly wouldn't have to speak English. They usually had long conversations about anything they could think of, and in a way, soon became as close as brother and sister. Kevin was very protective of Lilly by then.

Nick recalled once when he asked about her makeup, and why it was so strange, and she responded by saying something in Japanese, then taking out her blue makeup stick and giving all three boys atashi make up similar to her's, but more masculine.

And then Joe happened to pull out the photo of the four of them with blue atashi via Lilly on their faces. They both laughed.

Nick pulled out a piece of notebook paper with words on it. A song, labeled 'Kung Fu Grip' that Joe and Nick knew all too well. The first song they had ever written, and the one nobody but one girl had ever heard. Nick smiled as the memories filled his every waking action. He showed the page to Joe.

"Remember this?" he asked. Joe smiled.

"Oh, that…" He said blissfully reminiscing on the memory of the girl that changed both of their lives. Joe looked it over in his hand and smiled. "First song." He muttered.

"Yeah." Nick said. It was true. This was their real first song. The one that they written when they were 14 and 12. The wrote it the day before Lilly left and gave it to her.

Flashback!

Lilly walked next door to her best friend's house. She was 11. Her usual atashi make up was smudged and she had been crying. Joe answered the door, the fourteen year old boy not nearly ready for what was waiting for him on the other side. He took one look at Lilly and gasped, and quickly pulled her into his arms.

--

Two days later, Lilly sat on her door step next to her best friends.

"You'll call and write a ton, ok?" Lilly asked the boys.

"Of course! Lilly, you aren't shakin' us." Joe said.

"Lilly! Come on! We should get going!" Lilly's mom said.

"I guess I should get in the car." Lilly said. She stood up and so did the boys.

"Um… Lilly… before you go…" Nick started. He turned to Joe and nudged him. Joe nodded and pulled a small piece of paper out of his pocket.

"We wrote you a song." Joe said.

"You wrote me a song? Really?" Lilly asked. Nick and Joe nodded.

"With lyrics and music and everything." Nick added proudly.

"Aww… guys…" She said. She hugged them both tightly, and smiled. "I'll call you as soon as I get there." She said.

"You better." Nick said laughing. Lilly smiled at them.

"I should get going… Bye guys…" She said. She started to walk away from them.

"Lilly, Wait!" Joe said She turned to them. "Just…don't change… We love you as you are, so don't let California change you."

"Its not going to change me, Joe."

End of Flashback.

Joe sighed. She told them that her parents had gotten a divorce and her mom wanted to move as far as possible from Mr. Truscott. It was catastrophic for Lilly and made her upset to leave her best friends.

None the less, the boys never heard back from the 11 year old girl of their dreams.

It hadn't quite occurred to them that she might live next door to their new house.
