Now this story is a special one I actually wrote long ago, around Christmas I believe. I was hesitant to upload it on here as its not even in my deviantART gallery; I wrote it for one person who I cherish as my friend very much as have debated on sharing this with others, but I believe it'll be okay.

I hope you'll enjoy it, I still love reading through it if I do say so myself.

The sun was setting on the quiet, snow-covered town of Burgess, and down one of its many streets stood a house where a mother called her two children inside, ready to retire for the night. The children raced off to their rooms as their mother prepared their dinner, closing themselves off to the other to pursuit their own activities. The youngest of the two, a small, blond-haired girl quickly dashed over to her window and pushed it open, awaiting a visitor.

Sophie turned back to her bed and dropped to her knees before reaching her arm as far as she could underneath it. She pulled out her Read N' Learn, which she had made great use of, just not exactly how her mother thought her daughter did.

Eagerly she climbed up onto her bed and set out the device, opening it and turning it on, ready to be used by her friend. She sprang off the bed as soon as she was finished and danced around her room, shutting her door as she did. The child could barely contain her excitement; she planned to do something special for her friend tonight. Something she had wanted to do for a while now.

Practicing in her head, she hummed the tune she had learned at day care softly as she looked around her room which was covered in her artwork. Glitter, paint, markers, and crayons littered the floor, along with toys and clothing; the normal décor for a four-year-old's room.

However, if one were to look close enough, you'd notice the odd and special items all around. Painted eggs, little tooth sculptures, and special bottles of snow and golden sand were hidden carefully. A wooden sculpture of a flower sat on the girl's desk, baffling her mother each time she saw it. Only the child knew of where these objects came from, and she planned to always keep it that way.

For the girl could see beings most adults could not, and that is because she believed.

Sophie smiled as she turned back to the window, and rocked back and forth on her heels; her excitement becoming too great for her to hide any longer. She bounced over to her music player, making sure the CD was in and was paused on the right track. She fiddled with the volume, hoping that it would be quiet enough not to be heard by the rest of the house but loud enough for her to hear it.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her friend approaching the window. The child quickly jumped away from the CD player and dashed around to the bed, pulling the folded piece of paper out from under her pillow and into her pocket. She sat on the edge of her bed and waited as her friend flew up to the window, and smiled upon seeing her.

"Lili!" she girl cried and launched herself off the edge, running over to the spirit just as she floated inside. The child wrapped her arms around the spirit in a hug, simply happy to see her. She felt Lili return the gesture before scooping her up in her arms, and Sophie let out a soft giggle as she looked up at her. The older girl floated over to the child's bed and sat down, setting her companion on her lap as she took the pen for the electronic device.

"How is my little believer?" the melodic voice rang out as the spirit wrote with one hand, her other combing through the child's hair. Sophie smiled and gazed up at her friend excitedly.

"I'm good! I have somethin' special I wanna do tonight, if that's okay."

"And what would that be?" Lili asked with a soft smile.

The young girl giggled and crawled out of the spirit's lap, confusing her slightly. "It's a surprise! Now, close your eyes!" She smiled as Lili complied with a silent laugh, and she raced over to her CD player and grabbed the remote before running back over. Climbing back onto the bed, she felt herself start to get nervous. What if she doesn't like it? Will she be mad?

The child gulped before settling down directly across from the spirit, sitting with her legs folded underneath her. She set the remote down and pulled the paper out from her pocket, unfolding it. She looked the drawing of her and the spirit together over one last time, and she smiled a little, her nerves fading.

She folded the paper back up and raised her head to her friend. "Okay, put out your hands. Oh, and you can open your eyes now." Lili complied once more, this time opening her eyes and watched curiously as Sophie reached over the Read N' Learn, setting the paper in the spirit's out-stretched hands. "You can unfold it whenever you'd like once I start."

Taking a shaky breath, the child leaned back and grabbed the remote, pointing it at her music player and pressing PLAY. She turned her attention back to the spirit, closed her eyes, and started to sing-along to the music.

"You and me together we'll be
Forever you'll see
We two can be good company, you and me
Yes, together, we two
Together that's you
Forever with me
We'll always be good company, you and me
Yes, together we'll be

Lili quietly unfolded the paper, and looked down at it as the child continued.

You and me together we'll be
Forever you'll see
We two can be good company, you and me
Yes, together, we two
Together that's you
Forever with me
We'll always be good company, you and me
Yes, together we'll be

A small smile made its way onto the spirit's face, and she looked up at the child as she continued to sing.

You and me together we'll be
Forever you'll see"
We'll always be good company, you and me
Just wait and see

The child finished her song, and started to open her eyes just as the spirit leaned over the device between them and pulled her into a hug. Startled slightly, Sophie quickly returned the action and smiled. As Lili pulled away, she looked down and played with her hands nervously.

"D-Did you like it?"

A hand moved under her chin, and her face was raised to look her friend in the eye. The expression on Lili's face spoke more than words ever could, and the child let out a soft laugh, heart jumping for joy that spirit was pleased. She had wanted nothing more than to bring her friend happiness, and judging by the second hug, she had.

The rest of the night was filled with heart-felt melodies and quiet lyrics as the two girls sang to each other, ignoring the time as the moon rose and fell in the night sky. For that night, the entire neighborhood slept with music dancing into their dreams, and it was if the moon shined just a little brighter as two hearts connected in a bond that would never be broken; a bond of friendship.

Lucille, or "Lili" as Sophie calls her, is a original character roleplayed by snowypast on tumblr, again someone I like to call a very good friend of mine. I have a Sophie roleplay blog on tumblr (currently on hiatus due to personal problems) and Sophie is very close to Lucille.

I have one or two other stories with them, but I would prefer to keep those to just snowypast and I (and anyone else who follows us).

Curiosity Killed-er, Changed the Jack part two is sitting at, 2,772 words and nearly completed, and there is going to be a third part as this story arc refuses to end! Not that I mind of course~

Let's see if we can get the review count up to 150, and whoever its the 150th reviewer, will get a request! How does that sound? c:
