In the small, vibrant town of Colmar, France, three siblings began their tale in a shimmering lake with a bright sapphire sky shining above them, snowy vapors drifting in the stratosphere overhead. Everything seemed to look to the best for the happy siblings as they enjoyed every aspect of the French town they choose to holiday, even enjoying the lengthy trail they had to take to reach the secluded freshwater which was in the thick of the woods that lay behind the hotel the siblings were inhabiting for their long visit. The sound of birds chirping was music to the trio's ears and the soft waves lapped at their feet as they bounded up to the water in anticipation.

The siblings traveled a great distance to come to Colmar for varying reasons. From the eldest sibling's excitement to see the colorful buildings laced with untamed foliage, to the youngest sister's enthusiasm for the long nights ahead of exploring the woods and gathering data for her research. The young girl's profession provided the country to holiday in for an elusive wolf breed which was said to inhabit in the thickets of France while the eldest sibling chose the specific spot of Colmar from her own research of the beautiful town. The middle sibling simply did not mind one bit that he wasn't a big part of the decision for as long as his siblings were happy, so was he.

The second oldest, or the only male in the family, was as stated, the only male in the family. As so, he was subject to many of his sisters' demands and learned as he aged that simply a smile and a nod could satisfy the most of his siblings' requests while rebuking them lead to fights he could never win from the fact that his eldest sibling was the boss of the household to the fact that the middle sibling couldn't resist one thing his baby sister politely asked of him even though sometimes her wishes grated on the male's nylon coated nerves. Some of these questions included the important which he sincerely answered with more than simple gestures, such as if he grabbed certain items that would not be exactly enjoyable to search for and buy in a foreign country when all three suffered extreme jetlag from the long flight, and some, the dull and trivial, would earn whichever sibling a patient smile or a bored nod, such as when his eldest sister would pester him with what outfit she should wear or when the youngest sister bothered him with needing help with finding her shoes which she would carelessly throw in some tiny place that he couldn't reach. The second oldest didn't mind when the youngest did it once or twice, but he didn't enjoy when the large number of times that he would have help the youngest grow as she almost made it a conscious effort to throw her shoes across the room, sailing into some far away corner as the middle of the trio would wince at both the thud of shoes against the wall and the realization that when she would request his help again, he would have already forgotten where those shoes had landed, driving the middle child mad with the itch in his brain that he knew where the shoe was yet not knowing exactly where. Either way, he was as excited as his other siblings were at the prospect of going to another country so far from their own, even though the second oldest .

Living in the huge, busy city of Fiore, Japan, it was extremely peculiar to come to a place where there was such a small number of people around. Everyone there also seemed to know one another and were always friendly and polite to newcomers while in Fiore, even though the citizens were polite to one another, their pleasantness seemed to die out when tourists came.

Either way, petty thoughts were cast away as the sound of water filled the siblings' heads full of excitement as they stripped down to the bathing suits underneath flimsy coverings that were meant to keep some modesty but did nothing to halt the hot, noonday sun beating down mercilessly on Colmar so the trio were ecstatic to shed the extra clothing. A large grin spread across the youngest sibling's face as her brother and she tumbled into the water, splashing the liquid onto each other though the brother, born with a massive structure, was more successful at this task than the slight young girl yet she did not care. The youth adored nature which also lend to her perfected skill of swimming which she took full advantage of by diving into the deep depths where even her tall brother struggled standing in and went to trip him over himself to successfully dunk the massive male underwater. Both were drenched but happy as they swam and played in the temperate waves, hardly noticing that the eldest was still stalled at the shore.

A low sigh escaped from the oldest as she watched her two precious siblings frolic in the water. Tilting her head up, the eldest sister allowed herself to soak in the rays of the sun shining down on the world, subconsciously keeping attention to the sounds of her siblings. Sometimes she felt bothered that she was so overprotective but since their parents died, the eldest sibling became the primary caretaker of the small family. Years later, she realized with a small laugh, the trauma of trying to just survive the rough streets of Japan with two children that hardly knew what was happening still hurts. God, she had to grow up so fast and her little brother, her baby sister, both tried so hard to help in any way they could. Her brother had tried so hard to be the 'man' of the house and though the most he did was help out on an odd job here and there, the eldest looked fondly upon the memories of how her baby brother would play around. In the early years, it wasn't uncommon to see him sitting among nature and trying to befriend the wildlife with the youngest. Sadly, the eldest sibling was too frantic and worried at that time to appreciate the loveliness of her siblings' ignorance that she was lash out at them in her paranoid rage to keep them moving. The trio had been through a lot through their childhood. They had lost their parents, their home, and almost their youngest once but even now, neither of them completely knew what the eldest did for them and she would never tell them because she would do every terrible thing she had to again just to make sure they were safe and sound.

With a deep inhale, she opened her eyes and charged into the awaiting water, a bright smile on her face as she pulled her sister down into the water with her only to be brought back up and over the shoulders of her big baby brother. The trio laughed and hollered as they pushed aside all the things weighed them down and did what they every moment they had together.

They cherished it.
