So this is my first try to translate one of my short stories. I'm not perfectly fine with the way I did it, but I hope to get some response and help! I want to improve my gramma and I thought what's a better way to just start?

I wrote a lot of FanFictions in German and this one is at least one of my shortest. It's all about short moments between two people who go through life together. The good and the bad times.

Getting to know {1996}

„Why do you look so sad?" Although her mother had warned her not to get her new dress dirty, she sat down into the gras next to the boy.

It was her first day at nusery school and together with her class they went to the playground. Hikari was a little disappointed because she had looked forward to finally learn something important today.

She had noticed the boy with the sad eyes before. You see, his hair was blond and she never had met any person with this pretty hair color. Her big brother Taichi told her once, that there were a lot of blond people in Europe. But he didn't know if there were also a lot of blondes in the USA. One day Hikari wants to find it out on her own!

She thought that her own brown short hair was terrible boring.

But right now she was sitting next to a boy with blond hair and shinning blue eyes who looked watery.

„I don't want to be sad.", he admitted. Now she was looking at him questioningly. „Then why don't you stop being sad?"

„That isn't simple!", he replied, slightly offended.

„OK, then tell me what makes you sad. You feel certainly better after. When I'm sad I go to Onii-chan and tell him what bothers me. He makes me laugh and everything is fine again.", she smiled friendly and he looked at her thoughtfully in return. He wasn't sure if he should tell her.

„I would also like to go to my brother if I feel bad. But he and my father don't live in the same city as my mom and I."

Hikari looked confused, then she crossed her arms over her chest and snorted: „That's stupid!"

The boy saw depressed at the ground. „That's the reason why you'r sad?", she asked softly. „I can understand that." She was reaching after his hand. „But from now on you can always come to me if you're feeling bad. My name is Yagami, Hikari."

A friendly smile crossed his face. „My name is Takaishi, Takeru."
