I asked for their stories and this is what they told me. I can't guarantee they're the truth, you will have to ask Takeuchi Naoko, to whom they belong to.
Memories
Boxes were packed. Cupboards were cleared. Closets were emptied. The truck was pulling away. It was time to go, moving day was here.
Ami peered across her empty room. The small mural on the far wall pulled at her. The gentle slope of the vine crawling up the bamboo trellis highlighted a small set of stones. Each stone had a name and a picture on them to represent the fairy that Dad said danced there. 'Dad... why did you have to go? Why did you leave us?' Cementing the image in her mind, she knew that Mom had already taken a picture of it, but it wasn't going to be the same. It was just a picture instead of a painting. It was so small that none of the fairies that play in the world on her wall would want to play in it.
"Ami! Come on. The movers are going to be at the apartment soon." Amaya tipped her head to see around the corner. The sad expression on Ami's face pulled at her heart. 'I'm sorry. I... We... we couldn't make it work. I got a new job, one that can support us, but it is in a big hospital in Tokyo. So, now we have to move as well. Your life must feel as topsy turvy as mine.'
Ami's eyes darted about the room. 'There is where we used to read stories. There is where Mom used to help me draw. That corner held all the books that Dad helped me color. That was where Mom and Dad would sing me to sleep.' Smiling slightly at her whismy, she ordered all her memories to come on. 'It's moving day. We are heading for the big city, and you have to come with me.'
Amaya rested a hand against the corner, watching Ami's expression change slowly. "Ami, come on. We have to go."
Turning slowly, Ami walked away from her room. "Coming!" Darting past her mother, she headed for the waiting car.
Amaya closed the door slowly bidding her memories good bye.
