The busy streets, the loud venders, the smells of food, cars, and people. God did he love this city. Forest walked down the streets of the market, looking randomly at shops, even buying a thing or two for his Dad, Paul, and maybe even for Cat. Entering the food part of the market, he inhaled deeply. One could drown in the smells of all that food if one didn't die of dehydration from drooling. Entering a booth, he purchased some pork buns and happily exited munching one. So Ling had gotten him hooked on them, he wasn't complaining. He sighed as he remembered the spunky little girl he liked to think of as a sister. His mind trailed off.

The girl sat in her room, staring at the ceiling. She had counted 42 and a quarter wooden beams when someone opened her door. Forest grinned as he greeted her and sat on her bed.
"What are you thinking of now?" He asked, the corner of his mouth turned up in a half smirk like grin. Ling turned her attention from her ceiling to her uninvited guest.
"About how ironic my life is." She grumbled.
"Oh?" Forest asked, taking a warm Pork bun from the dish on the table. Ling had gotten him hooked on them but he didn't care. These things were GOOD. "Care to indulge?"
"I spent a good 2 YEARS looking for Jin under just about EVERY rock in Asia and I find him in the most ODVIOUS place while taking a VACATION...." She stated, standing up only to flop onto the guest bed, letting out a sigh and a hrmp. The pork bun just about hanging out of his mouth, he smiled. Finishing the tasty snack, he leaned back, staring at the ceiling that Ling had just about stared a hole into. "You care about him don't you?"
"What do you think?" Forest smiled at her heated reply and sat up, ruffling her hair. She glared at him and fussed about her hair. He laughed.

She was like a best friend to him, even though they had met just about ready to rip each others throat out. He passed by a shop and looked at a tiny pendent in the shape of a heart. A Panda was artfully engraved into the metal. He sighed. TO him, she seemed more like a younger sister then a friend. His mind trailed off to a few weeks after that.

"Forest! No fair! That was MY LAST ONE!" Ling yelled from behind him. Laughing, he tauntingly took a bite out of it, causing her to steam. She leapt over a rock to catch Forest off guard, only to find herself on a gravity caused collision course with Jin.
"AHHHH! WATCH OUT!"
"Huh?" *BOOOMP*
Forest turned around to see Jin holding Ling in his arms, their lips locked together. The look on their face was priceless! Cracking up, Forest began to laugh his lungs out at the blushing pair when Ling broke out of Jin's grasp and chased after Forest, forgetting about the pork bun till Forest took another bite out of it.

'That was their first kiss I bet...' Forest thought, munching on his second bun. 'It's such a sad thing she died so young...' Forest stopped eating and walking, staring at the bun in his hand. He would visit her later... He promised he would...
