Calling

She won't accept over. Eri on friendship with Shiki. Pre-game.

There is such a thing as destiny or at least she thought so. Eri was just as bright as her pink hair personality-wise and the same goes for brains. But as for skills, she had her umbrella open when it rained hands-on talent. She had the concepts for artistic clothes but to actually make them was another thing. Then there was Shiki who could do what she couldn't. And Eri found herself liking the girl just as much as she had it bad for trends. She loves them but this girl was loveable too.

Her friends were all the same. They came to her because of her popularity or at least they claim her to have that. But Shiki was different. She was shy, timid at least and hid in her shell behind her bangs and glasses. She wears a clip now and Eri can proudly claim that she pushed her to do that. Getting her to open up was hard but it wasn't impossible. In fact, she'd like to think that she did just that. She wanted to know more about her new friend and her world. She knew her calling and it was fashion. But more than that, she found another believer of destiny.

They were best friends forever…

Until it was suddenly over.

They had a fight. There were things said and regrets everywhere. Eri had most of the latter almost as much as calling dibs on it. She was stupid to say that. Shiki was a frail girl. Hearing it, she ran and Eri didn't have the chance to clarify what she meant. It was too late though. Her knees gave way to gravity. Her body felt heavy with the weight of what she did. She hurt her feelings. All those years they've been through together might have just collapsed at that instant.

But that's just the thing. It's been years since they first met. Eri's older now. She's not a kid who just cries over something bad. Nothing could hold her down not even depression. With a newly found resolve, she swore she'd fix this.

They were best friends forever…

Until it was suddenly over.

She never answered her calls. It was the night of the fight and yet she already misses her. Memories kept flashing through her mind. Eri shouldn't have said that. Shiki shouldn't have ran. They'll get over this, right? Eri couldn't help but shake the feeling that something bad might've happened to Shiki. She quickly rationalized that she didn't pick up because she was still letting off some steam. She just hoped that was the case. If anything happened to her, she'd never live it down.

Their fight was a wakeup call. She never realized just how much she appreciated her. One more chance. No hesitation. She's not giving up until she gets this. So she takes out her phone and presses speed dial. To Eri, Shiki was her calling.

They were best friends forever…

Until it was suddenly over.

And she won't let that last long either. They'll have to start over.

Shinra-ex-SOLDIER

Let me go

Gravity

What's on my shoulder?

"Little by little, I feel a bit better"

Let me go,

Set me free,

I feel a bit older

Just once more unto the breach

"Dear friend, once more"

Wake up, leave your hesitation

Wake up, time for us to realize

Wake up, show appreciation

Wake up, time for us to realize

Calling…

Someone is calling

An actual friendship oneshot, le gasp! With no Neku! I thought I'd never see the day. It's Eri this time and just so everyone knows, any character can be requested. Ex: Uzuki, Kariya, Megumi

I know no one's asked this yet but please, no Twister (not even remixes of it) requests. I'm saving that for the last chapter. Thanks and ciao.
