Always My Dummy
Today is a marvelous day for those two. Hating each other for the longest time, then slowly but surely, falling in love. It's like a fairytale, the confession of love, then deciding to get married at the young ages of 18, and of course, leaving the academy to start their new life together. Well, it was beautiful. For Mikan and Natsume anyway.
But I, well, I'm not sure how I feel. Yes, we are best friends…..but how well have I actually portrayed that? By hitting her with things? By callling her a dummy? Was that really being a best friend? It makes me wonder.
Especially now, seeing her with him, seeing how Natsume makes Mikan smile. She just seems so….happy. Did I ever make her that happy? No…I just made her cry. Then I told her how I loved her smile, and she smiled. She was happy, because it made me happy. She's so unselfish. Sure she messes up, but she works hard to make it right again, and smiles the whole way through. That's just the kind of person she is.
But now she's leaving Alice Academy, and our supposed "friendship" is over…..right?
"Um…Hotaru?"
"Yes Mikan?"
"I just wanted to say goodbye."
"I suppose we'll never see each other again."
"Don't be silly! Of course we will! We are best friends after all! We can still see each other on our birthdays, New Years, Christmas, Hanukkah…"
"Mikan"
"Yeah?"
"Your not Jewish, you don't celebrate Hanukkah."
"Well…..uh…you can come see me anyway!"
"Dummy."
"HOTARU!"
Well, I suppose there are some things that never change. We will always be best friends, and Mikan will always, ALWAYS, be my dummy.
