It was a bright day in fall when a young, black haired pig tailed girl lost her mother in the park. Really, all she had been doing was playing hide and seek, but she'd gotten lost looking for her hiding place and didn't know her way back. She wandered onto one of the many walking trails surrounded by trees, and with since it was early fall the trees were mixes or greens, oranges, reds and yellows, brighter in some spots under the trees then others. The pig tailed girl decided, she thought that if she waited under one of the bright patches, her mom would find her. Her mom promised to find her, and her mom never broke a promise after all. so she shouldn't worry. It seemed like forever until she heard foot steps on the trail, but when she looked up it wasn't her mommy. It was two older boys holding hands, one had a funny hat on and the other boy had on a bright, bright sea colored hoodie (or at least, it was the color she used to color in her oceans). It was the sea colored boy who stopped and bent down, asking why she was out here all alone
"Mommy and I were playing hide and seek…but I got lost, so I'm waiting for mommy to find me." The boy with the sea colored shirt and red hair frowned, and said "That doesn't seem fair if this is hide and seek…how about we find your mommy instead?" The dark haired boy in the funny purple hat looked ready to refuse, but a look from the red haired one silenced him and he held out his hand to the girl, and she took it standing up.
Walking out of the trails back into the park, the darker haired boy walked behind while the red haired boy and the pig tailed girl walked around, asking about the girl's mother. This went on for about twenty minutes until a woman came running up frantic, and the little girl let go of Seto's hand and ran to her mother crying. Crow walked up to stand next to him, and Seto smiled at the happy looking reunion. The mother and daughter walked over to them, holding hands.
"I cant thank you enough." She said, truly sounding relieved.
"We're just glad we found you…" Seto said, though Crow didn't add anything to it.
"Hey." All three looked down at the pig tailed girl "Why were you holding hands earlier?" Both boys blinked, and Seto kneeled down to her level and smiled.
"Because we're friends." He said.
"Best friends." Crow corrected, Seto rolled his eyes.
"My mommy says that best friends get married, are you going to get married one day?" She asked, Seto blushed, and both boys were speechless. The woman hushed her daughter, apologizing and saying that they needed to get home to get dinner ready.
Even after the two boys parted ways going home, they couldn't get that one little innocent question out of their minds, and it was only lingering after they woke up the next day.
