Disclaimer – This title doesn't belong to me but I love its characters too much to stop writing for it!!!

Remember that time in the park

Where all the bubbles floated in the sky,

In unison making

Multiple rainbows?

You made fun of me for being a dreamer

And I frowned at you being a realist.

I kept scrunching up my eyes,

Thinking, "Surely, this dream

Will come true!"

You were just folding your

Arms and looking at me

As if I'd lost my mind.

A little smile

Entered that eternally stoic face.

I felt a twinkle within me

As I spread out my arms

As if the bubbles

All came from me;

Then, I turned to look back at you.

You were gone,

And when I was about

To cry,

You laughed so hard,

Hugging me from behind,

Tickling me back

Into life.

I surely don't need that wish now

Because I have everything,

I always will.

Rainbow Laughter.

1 / Red – Please stay behind the yellow line as the train is approaching…

Except when the trains were sleeping, that was the only time people weren't on the platform. Somehow, even when everyone took a small nap, Tokyo was always in perpetual motion. It was always trying to move…

…even when it's next to nothing.

Standing on the platform, the tall teenager with the short blondish hair held a camera in his hands. Turning slowly on the viewfinder to face the train going towards Ueno Station (opposite from him since he was heading to Shibuya), there was a teenage girl with bright cherry heels rocking back and forth at the approaching green-lined train on the other pair of tracks. She was holding a red and white checkered parasol.

He was already taking pictures of the brilliant blue sky with the girl tapping her head to the cd tune she was listening to, or was she humming her own song? He didn't know he was already smiling so much until his face began to hurt.

Clicking away, he thought, "I wonder who or what are you smiling at? Is the rest of the world too serious for themselves?"

Suddenly, she noticed him and smiled even wider.

In one second, he caught a picture and forgave himself for paying what he did for such a camera.

"Why did I instantly believe in love at first sight?" he mumbled unconsciously.

He tried to look away and averted himself from her direction. He knew he should have stepped into his own train, but his feet wouldn't allow him. The door closed in front of him.

It was his birthday and as he faced the girl again, he hoped one more glimpse would be his gift this year.

The vinyl red coat moved gracefully as she boarded the train. But when the doors closed, she faced his direction and winked at him with both of her bright eyes.

He took a picture as she waved with a large grin on her face.

Never did he think that he would push away everything he'd ever learned and smirk to salute her with the sign of "I love you" on his fingers.

Then, when the Yamanote train left, the dream disintegrated into small particles of gray dust, color gone from a used-up dream as if a cigarette burned it all away. Through the warmth, the crispy wind reminded him that it was still far into Winter.

He was now floating in an empty void watching the train become a dot. And in this very small dot, for the first time in his life, his wish was born.
