When we got home, I found out that my family lived a few houses down from Tsuna-kun's family. I was really surprised, why didn't I notice it before?

Oh wait, I never go outside unless my mommy makes me. Nevermind.

But, why did mommy never tell me? I tugged on her skirt when we got inside.

"What is it, sweetie?" Mommy asked.

"How come you never told me that Tsuna-kun lived so close to us?"

She giggled, "I'm sorry Chi, I wanted it to be a surprise~."

I pouted, my mommy was really sorry, that I knew, but did she really have to make it a surprise?

"Does that mean I can go over and play with Tsuna-kun tomorrow, Mommy?" She brushed some of my hair back.

"I'll call Nana-chan and ask, okay?" I nodded really fast. I really wanted to play with Tsuna-kun. We still had to fight off the rest of the dragons in the kingdom.


Sawada-san said yes!

I was too excited to sleep last night. But I fell asleep anyway. So this morning, I kept hopping up and down. My mommy and daddy were trying not to laugh too much.

My daddy chuckled, "Excited about playing with Tsunayoshi-kun, Chi?"

I nodded, "We haven't beaten the dragon yet!"

"Dragon?" Daddy was still chuckling.

"She and Tsuna-kun were having quite the adventure the other day, Nao-kun~" Mommy explained.

I finally sat down on a couch in our living room waiting for Mommy to walk me over. I already finished my breakfast.

Why do adults have to eat so slowly?

"Alright Chi! Let's go!" Mommy gave Daddy a kiss on the cheek.

"Eeew…" I said and looked away. They just laughed.


Sawada-san met us at the door. She giggled.

"Good morning Makoto-chan, Chi-chan!" Sawada-san smiled. She had a pretty smile too, like Mommy, "Tsu-kun's in his room, Chi-chan. It's upstairs and the first door to the left."

Left, left…which side was left? Oh! There was a little fish sign with Tsuna-kun's name on a door!

So I knocked, and Tsuna-kun swung open his door. He looked really excited.

"Are you ready to play Chi-chan?" I nodded quickly and went inside his room.

It was kinda messy. But then again, so was mine. There were toys and papers and games all over the floor.

"S-sorry it's so messy, Chi-chan…" Tsuna-kun looked at the floor, "I was looking for something we could use as swords."

I looked around…Hmm, maybe his mommy would let us use chopsticks? No, we might poke an eye or something…

"Do you have any crayons?" I asked. He nodded and pulled a big box from his desk.

"What are you gonna do?" Tsuna-kun followed me downstairs where our mommies were talking.

"Sawada-san?" She looked over at us.

"Hm? What is it?" I nibbled on my bottom lip nervously before asking.

"Can Tsuna-kun and I borrow some scissors and cardboard?" Mommy had a wide-eyed look.

"What are you planning sweetie?" I held up Tsuna-kun's big box of crayons.

"I wanna make swords." Our mommies both giggled.

"Well, you're going to have to let us help, okay?" said Sawada-san.


We were back in Tsuna-kun's room staring at our new swords, I could almost see the sparkles coming off them.

Imaginary sparkles. They were just that cool.

"These are so cool!" Tsuna-kun grinned widely. I held up my sword.

"Time to save the kingdom?" I asked. Tsuna-kun nodded.

"Yeah! Let's go!" We went outside and ran around, hiding behind things so we wouldn't be hit by the 'fire-breathing dragon'. I can't really remember the last time I had this much fun with anyone who wasn't my Mommy and Daddy.

I hope Tsuna-kun wants to keep being friends with me. It'd make school a lot less lonely.
