Description: Lily and James meet under different circumstances. Beginning at age 5. They soon realize just how close two friends can become.

"Mommy can I go outside?"

The girl stood near the door, her hands pulling on her red hair. She wore and emerald dress, and the color of her eyes shone brightly. Those eyes looked expectantly at her mother.

"Yes Lily, but be careful and don't talk to strangers."

Lily skipped outside, pausing only to grab her jumper from the coat rack. The morning air was cold and soon her cheeks were a rosy pink. Her hair began to sway with the breeze and she clutched tighter to herself. She looked towards the swings. Her mind wandered towards the sky, wondering just how high she could go. It was then she noticed a small boy resting on one of the swings. Curious, she walked over to him.

Once within a few feet of him, she glanced him over. His hair was ruffled and standing up in odd places. She could tell he wore glasses; the light from them reflected off from the sun. He was no smaller than her, and looked both lonely and shy.

"Are you a stranger?" she asked.

He peered over his shoulder. "What?"

She walked so she stood in front of him. He wore a rather large black robe around him; certainly not his. "Are you a stranger? Because I'm not allowed to talk to strangers."

"I don't know." He replied, almost with no emotion. He was scared; you could see it in his eyes.

"You don't look like one. What's your name?"

He gave her a quick glance and replied. "James. What's your name?"

"Lily. My mother says I'm the prettiest flower in the world." She said this proudly, as if challenging anyone to question it.

"She's right." He looked to see her expression.

"Thank you." She blushed; no one had ever told her that before. " You're new right?" she replied.

"Yea." he said quietly not wanting not make eye contact with her after his blunt honesty.

" Well you can come over and color with me sometime. I mean... if you want."

" Okay. Um...here." He held out his hand to her. Resting in his palm was a small white Daisy. It looked so delicate; she couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks. But how did you-"

"I don't know. I was just thinking about giving you a flower and there it was. Magic I suppose."

"Yeah right. Magic isn't real."

He ruffled his hair before he spoke. "It is if you believe in it."

He began to stand. He paused only to take a glance at Lily, then proceeded to walk towards his house.

"WAIT!" She ran to catch up with him.When she did, she paused to take a few breaths. Then she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Bye." Lily said softly, walking away.

'A new friend' she thought. She soon decided to go back home. It was too chilly to test just how high she could go in the sky. Besides, it was quite lonely to go on the swings now.

James stood in the street, dazed with wonderment He touched the spot where she had kissed him. He felt his cheek burn underneath his touch. 'Woah' he thought.

Yeah. Woah.
