A/N: I'm sorry if there was any confusion on why their mother's last names were different, but the main reason they are different is because Dean and Renee were born before their mothers got married. I had originally wrote those chapters out but I don't think people really liked it starting off with the mothers instead of the main characters Dean and Renee, so I tossed out those chapters. Sorry for any confusion.
Chapter 2
Five years quickly went by and the children now ten years old continued to be best friends and their mothers had rekindled their old friendship as well. Ever since their mothers started talking and hanging out again Dean and Renee got to spend a lot of time with each other and got to go places together as well. They couldn't be happier.
The four of them decided to take a trip to the lake. The layout for the lake was similar to a beach. The water was surrounded by sand and trees. There were even a few large rocks lying at the far end of the lake making it as close to a beach as possible. Well at least a man made beach anyway.
Once the four of them arrived at the lake, Dean and Renee grabbed their buckets with plastic shovels and quickly got out of the car and took off for the rocks. Danielle noticed as the they were driving to the lake that LeeAnn looked upset, and she was curious as to what was going on in her friend's mind. They pulled out their chairs along with the bags and towels. They then set everything up, laid everything down, and that's when Danielle decided to start asking questions.
"I couldn't help but notice but you seem like you got a lot on your mind."
LeeAnn looked over at her friend and nodded, "I do." She replied
"You want to talk about it?"
"You know when we went out of town last weekend?"
"Yeah."
"Well the husband and I were looking for a place to live."
"You're leaving?" Danielle sadly asked.
"Yeah, he's being stationed out in Texas."
"That far?"
"Yeah."
"Does Renee know?"
"Yeah." She nodded. "She's really upset about it. She told me last night she hates to leave Dean behind." LeeAnn smiled as she recalled what Renee said after that. "She asked if he could go with us."
"Aww." Danielle smiled, "It's going to break his heart once he finds out. He's become so fond of her."
"Yeah, Renee too."
Furter down the lake behind the rocks Dean was putting the final touches on the sand castle that he and Renee had built. Once he finished he sat up on his knees and looked over at Renee, and with a smile he said, "All done."
"We did great it looks good."
"You want to be my queen?" He asked not taking his eyes away from his best friend.
"Yeah." She smiled.
"Good." He smiled back.
"So no matter what will I always be your queen?" She asked as she remembered her and her family were moving to Texas in a few weeks.
"No matter what." He smiled.
"Good." She smiled as she put a couple extra things on their sand castle. "Because Dean, I'm gonna be leaving soon."
"Leaving?" He questioned.
"Yeah." She nodded, "I'm moving to Texas."
"Texas? Why so far?"
"My stepdad is being moved out there."
"Will I ever see you again?"
Renee shrugged, "I dunno." She replied, "I hope so."
"Me too." He agreed. He stayed quiet for a little while as he took in what she said. It broke his heart that she was going to be leaving. He would be losing his best friend. "I'm gonna miss you." He told her as he leaned over and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you too." She said as she hugged him back.
A little while later Danielle and LeeAnn walked over to the rocks to collect their children. They were about to speak when they saw the two kids hugging. The women looked at each other and nodded. They were thinking the same thing. They were thinking it be best to let the kids have a little privacy. They assumed Renee had told Dean about her moving.
After giving the children their space the two women returned. It broke their hearts to see their kids so sad, but there wasn't anything they could do to change it. Although they wished they could stop the move from happening so the two kids could stay together forever.
"You guys ready to go back?" LeeAnn asked.
"Can we stay a little longer? Please momma." Renee begged.
"Only for a few more minutes." She said as she and Danielle began walking back off.
"Thank-you momma." Renee called out as her mom began walking away.
"Yes." Dean called out. "Thank-you Ms. LeeAnn."
The four of them stayed out there for another thirty minutes before finally piling back in the car and heading home. The last three weeks before Renee moved flew by, but the two of them were inseparable the whole time, and now today was the big day. Renee and her family were going to be leaving for Texas that evening. Dean wanted to spend the day with his friend but his mom said they had some things to do, but she did promise him that they would be back in time for him to say goodbye.
Dean and his mom walked into the department store and the first thing he did was walk over to the jewelry. Danielle was curious to why her son was going in that direction and followed behind.
"Can I get Renee a going away present?"
"Sure sweetheart but what do want to get her?"
He stood still a moment as he looked around at all the jewelry surrounding him. He then spotted the necklaces and began to walk over towards them. Then he spotted it, the perfect gift for her.
"This." He said as he pulled a silver chained necklace with a crown charm dangling in the front from the jewelry stand.
"A crown necklace?" She questioned.
"Yeah it's perfect."
"I dunno Dean." She said as she picked up the necklace and looked at it. "It's a bit pricey." She said. "Why not get her something more reasonable?"
"Mom please."
After a minute she finally nodded and decided to go ahead and buy the necklace. Later that evening she and Dean stopped by their friends' house. So they could say their goodbyes and so he could give her the necklace.
"I'm gonna miss you." He told her as he reached into his pocket to pull the necklace out.
"I'm gonna miss you too." She told him as she leaned in to give him a hug. Dean welcomed the hug and held her tight for a moment before they seperated.
"I got you something." He said as he opened his fist and revealed the necklace he got her. "It's a crown necklace." He told her as she took the necklace and held it up. "So you can be my queen forever." He smiled as she looked up from the necklace to meet his gaze.
"Thank-you." She smiled as she leaned in a gave him another hug and kiss on the cheek. "Can you help me put it on?" She asked.
Dean nodded as he took the necklace from her and gently spun her around and placed the necklace over her neck and clamped the hook. "There." He said as he gently spun her back around. "It looks good on you." He smiled.
"Thank-you." She told him again as she gave him another hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Your welcome." He told her as they slowly seperated.
"About ready to go?" LeeAnn asked her daughter.
Renee nodded, "Yeah." She sadly replied as her mom walked to the car. "I hope to see you again soon."
"Me too." He said as she gave him a sad smile and slowly started walking to the car.
"Bye Dean." She told him as she got in the car and her step-dad began to drive away.
"Bye Renee." He said quietly as he waved goodbye to his best friend and hoped that one day they would meet again and the next time it happened that it'd be forever.
