Author's Note: A new story by me. Okay, this one is part of a trilogy, so if you hate something by this story's end, don't worry, it may change. MAY change. I don't want to give too much away, so let's just begin. You saw the summary on the list.

Thanks a bunch to Allie who read the prologue before anyone else and helped me make it sound "correct" for the age of the two who are speaking. Yes, it's short. Whenever I write prologues, they are normally very short, but the chapters get longer from here. I hope you enjoy.


She sat on the porch swing, letting it softly rock her back and forth. How was she going to tell him? He'd already been through a lot. She had cried the night before, but she felt the tears in her eyes again, as she waited to tell him what was going to happen. He'd be here soon, and she wasn't sure how to tell him.

The fifth-grade girl couldn't comprehend why she had to leave her best friend behind. It didn't seem fair to her. Then again, nothing like this seemed fair to an eleven-year-old.

He walked up the steps of her porch now. She glanced up at him.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"It's nothing good."

"I guessed that. You look like you've been crying."

She hated to tell him this. He had just been through something really bad, and now she had to tell him that she, his best friend, was going to leave.

"I'm moving," she said quietly.

"You're what?" he asked.

"Moving."

"Oh," he replied. He sat down next to her on the swing. Now that he was on it, it rocked a little more. "When?"

"Next week," she replied. "Dad got a better job at the office in San Francisco."

"Oh," he replied again.

"I'm scared we won't remember each other," she said.

The boy's small brown eyes filled with tears. It wasn't fair.

"Well," he said. "We just have to try and remember." He leaned over and softly kissed her on the lips. She looked surprised. He had never done that before. It was unexpected but nice. The little girl heard her mother calling her.

"I have to go inside now," she said. "It's not fair. I might not see you again."

"No," he replied. "I promise we'll find each other. Then we'll be together again forever and happy. We can even get married," he laughed.

She smiled at him.

"I promise," he said.
