Sometimes when you hear a song and you can't helped but think of your OTP. Well that what it does to me. So sorry about that. Right at this moment, I'm not in the proper mind and prone to brain malfunction so a fair warning for the mistakes that will make you cringed and seems wanted to rant. [idk] Maybe like how characters here are like not so in character (you get that one right?). Also my ideas here were jumping into one another or the next, and by that my sincerest apologies to all of those. Ahm bout the tenses, well its normal that I do mixed them up. So yeah about that too. I typed this in a one go and yeah here's the best I could come to. This was supposed to be a one-shot but it seems that it's way too long for it so I'll post it by parts. I don't want you to get bored. I guess I ramble too much? It mostly happens when I'm not sure if I should do things or not, oh what the prick. I did try my best though, anyway here it is..

Disclaimer. Not mine except for mistakes and the idea, to say that at least.


Just like before

"Do we really have to dig this deep?"

"No, not really"

"Then why? It looks like we are burying a leprechaun vertically-wait a minute! Are you planning to bury me here?"

"Ohhh yes, I'm planning on it for a very long time"

The other girl playfully slapped her arm. Dramatically pretending, the girl with brown hair acted she was hurt like what overreacting actress does, they can't helped but giggle and turned that into laughter. It never fail for her to make her friend smile despite how sad this moment meant for the two of them.

"You know, you could just say you wanted to spent more time with me than your delaying tactics of burying me"

Reaching for the medium-sized box container, she placed it on her lap and looked at it intently. "I don't want you to go. I wanted you to stay" whispering while caressing the object with her thumb.

Her little friend smile sadly, "You know I can't do that Nai"

Taking a deep breath and tried not to let her feelings show, "hey, let's finish what we came here for" and with a nod her friend took the container and bury it to the hole. Once they were done, Naomi can't help but to feel the pang in her chest and trying her best not to ruin this moment by crying in front of her.

Naomi's friend let go the hand shovel and cupped her cheeks. Trying to wipe the unshed tears but ended up smudging dirt on her face.

"Naahh! Now I really have to bury you neck down now Emily Fitch!"

"Oh no!"

Emily laughed while Naomi chased her around. The echoes of their laughter where the only noise at the quiet and peaceful forest. Naomi caught Emily and straddles her. She pokes the little girl to her sides and another burst of laughter came from Emily.

"Nai! Stop! I-I.. I can't.. br-breathe"

"Say mercy"

"No!"

"Fine then"

"Okay! O-kay, you.. you win"

"I didn't hear mercy"

"Mer-cy! Oh please! Mercy!"

Naomi stopped her assault and she laid down beside Emily. While chasing for their breaths and looking at the blue sky. A kind of view they rarely saw with this kind of weather they had in Bristol. Emily reached for Naomi's hand and interlaced it with her fingers.

"I'm gonna miss this"

"Oh please with that memory of yours? You'll probably forget me once you get there. Wherever in United States that is"

"You'll never gonna let that one go, aren't you?"

"Nope" closing her eyes as she teases her friend.

She smiles because she knows Emily stares at her, maybe with an unbelievable stare but for sure with eyebrows almost knitted together. She could certainly feel it. Emily does this whenever she can't understand a thing or two and tries to figure it out by looking. Suddenly Naomi felt Emily moved closer and a weight on her chest now. Naomi opened her eyes and saw a determined eyes looking up at her and heard, "But still, even if I will have a memory of a fish, I promise to never forget you. You are my best friend and you are important to me Naomi. So when I say I will miss you, I will miss you!"

Naomi smiled more with Emily's rant and said, "I will miss you too Ems"

Ringggggggggggg!

"Naomi! Oy! Naomikins!"

Naomi woke up from here reverie and saw a guy with a sandy blonde hair looking at her expectantly. She raised her eyebrow silently asking a question what he wants.

The guy sighed, "Where did you go this time? Anyway I said we are going to have a gig at Charlie's tomorrow."

Obviously surprised she open her mouth to refuse but before she could speak he beat her to it.

"Effy doesn't mind, Freds was fine with it, and the Cookie says it's a good call for a shag on a Tuesday night."

"And how 'bout that I do mind, I'm not fine with it, and not looking for shag on a Tuesday night huh Cook?"

"Of course you are babe, all of that. But I know after securing a spot on Uni, that surely I know you will, you wanted a gap year to travel. So Cookie here will help you save money faster yeah? See you later with the gang Blondie"

Then he left her to god knows where. She sighed, sometimes she asked herself how she put it up with them. With Cook's I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude (well most of them does, but he was the worst), Freddy's as-long-as-I'm-high and then there's Effy with her I-know-your-secrets-shit-smirks, she shakes her head but can't helped to smile as she starts to walk home.

Before them she never really had a friend. Well except for one, Emily Fitch. They were four when they first met at the park and instantly become best friends. They were inseparable since then. But all good things come to end Emily and her family had to leave when she and Emily where seven. For almost three years she spend with Emily, she become happy but when she left everything starts to change for her.

No more Emily on weekends where they play on the lake beside the forest that they end up calling it their hiding place. No more Emily who annoys her to join her on the park to play games with even they have homework to finish. No more Emily who she will be with while watching her (their) favorite show, Doctor Who. No more Emily who forgot so easily that sometimes Naomi thinks she does have a memory of a fish. No more Emily who amuses her on how she could finish a meal that was double for her size. No more Emily and her cute little button nose, soft shoulder length brown hair, and her scent that makes Naomi's stomach flip for unknown reason. No more Emily who stares at her whenever those innocent brown eyes were confused and searching for answers. No. More. Emily. Every time she thought their so well cherished memories there was pain in the reality. The truth that Emily was gone far away from her and didn't know how to communicate with her.

So she then dedicated her time with books, literature, and poems, and the library became her second home. Time flies by whenever she read and deep down she knew those will never leave her. Just like her father did and like Emily did. Yes, it's unfair because it was not her fault her family had to leave but she can't helped it because she was hurt and knew nothing better.

Three years after the Fitches left, her mother, Gina Campbell, brought a baby grand piano in their home. It came from a friend who once lived at their house because her mother are into communal living and all that hippie stuff. The people at their house wanted to try it out but always ended up with loud noises, unpleasantly tunes, and disastrous sounds. And to Naomi's ears it seems like the instrument was crying out for help. Deciding she can't take it anymore, she said that it will be moved to her room and no one will enter without her permission. She even put a dead lock on her door for good measure. Little did she know, it was the day where music will play a big part in her life.

After a year and a half of curiosity which leads to self-studying and practicing (with the guide of music tutorial books) she learned how to complete a classical piece. Not perfect though but the incredible thing was she knew how to play the piano. She was so ecstatic about it that she even bought and study to play a guitar for it was easier to carry it around than a baby grand.

Sometimes, well for almost the time, she starts composing her own songs. She got her inspirations from the stories she have read. Clearly, her love for books didn't waver. She added tunes to the poems she did just to make fun out of it and yes she did have a great time. She realized then that combining her two passion, literature and music, compliments so well together that she made it her emotion releaser as she was not good at them.

"Oh! Great! It had to rain so hard!" Naomi burst as the water drops on her head on her way home, "and to think I'm just in the first month of my college life." While running, she was having an argument if she should look for shelter to let the rain pass or make a run going home. But as she try to decide what she should do, she can't help the thought that music brought her to meet the gang.

She first met Effy when they were fourteen. They were in their music class and got partner by their teacher on a little performance as part of their getting to know. Effy was too mysterious for Naomi but as they brainstorm, they agree on the suggestion of the other. They got well easily that on the day of the little show, Naomi will be on guitar and second voice while Effy will do the vocals. They even had Effy hold the triangle to add humor to it.

Then she met Pandora, or Panda, because of Effy. She was totally opposite of Effy with her goofy and too innocent personality. Then after that, they met Cook, Freddie, and JJ. Cook play drums, Freddie plays the guitar, and JJ doesn't know how to play any instruments but he had a great voice. Then one day, they just decided to play at the school show as a group band and the rest as they say was history.

"Mum, I'm home!" Naomi shouted after closing the door of their yellow house, stopping for the breeze to come inside that makes her shiver more. She tries to dry her platinum blonde dyed hair by ruffling it. She calls for her mum again and goes to the kitchen but to no avail her mum was not there. As she goes out of the room something caught her attention and then the cold she felt was just gone and her eyes was fixed to the person she saw on the telly. Even the with new red dyed hair, she would notice and knew it was her on the spot, no matter what. She even forgot that she was soaking wet by the rain she just ran into.

"So let's talk about what your fans wants to know. Any new project with the Fitch Twins?" the guy wearing a suit who was sitting comfortably in the couch asked the two young ladies in front of him.

"Katie and Emily Fitch" the two identical yet so different twins said at the same time.

The interviewer laughed while saying he will never get over with their "twin thing. Asking the same question again but this time addressing them correctly.

The girl who was on the middle giggled and answered, "oh you know, same things for me but for Emsy here" then looked at her right with raised eyebrows and smirk on her face.

"You know, I can't say thing yet sis but I guess big screen will do"

Naomi was engrossed with the interview as she didn't notice another person enters the room. Suddenly her surroundings went black. She struggles as a reflex and found out the reason of her almost panic attack. She saw her mother innocently smiling and a towel on the floor.

"Mum! That was not funny!" she puffs as she reached down to the monster towel and begins to dry herself.

"That was priceless dear. I already expected you will come home soaking wet because of this rain but I didn't expect that it was because you'll drool on someone at the telly"

Naomi blushes and mutters a shut up to her mother. She sets her eyes on the interview again as she heard the audience applauded.

"Once again! Katie and Emily Fitch everybody!" the Fitches wave their hands for goodbye.

Too bad I miss the whole interview.

"Emily grew up to be a fine lady, isn't she?" Gina said as she watched her daughter who looked at the telly with full adoration; particularly to who. She knew that her daughter missed her childhood best friend.

Nodding with agreement, she could feel her mother staring at her. She silently asked what but Gina just chucked at her. Knowing she will never hear an answer from her mother, she went to her room and get herself ready for she and the gang will have their gig tonight. But not without a smile on her face because of the person who she saw on the telly today.

And here's the part where I dare to say, what do you think?
