Hi everyone, i know this isn't a regularly updated story but like i already said it will be finished. I think the story has been in the past for too long it's about time it came to the present.

A small leaf landed gently on the water causing ripples which blurred the reflection of Honoka's and Eli.

'I see," Eli still had to take in all the information Honoka just said her, she wasn't sure why Honoka said everything to her, maybe she just wanted to share it with someone.

"That flower holds a lot of memories, dosen't it?"

"Yeah,"

"Wow, that was a really beautiful story," both of them turned around to find Honayo rubbing away the tears formed in her eyes.

"Since when were you here, Honayo-chan?". Honayo smiled a bit

"From the time you're father came to take you back,"

"You haven't even heard the full story,"

'Yeah, but it was still sad from where i heard," Eli looked at the time, they had spent a lot of time in the backyard.

"Hey what are girls doing there?" Nico screamed, she was wearing an apron, probably still cooking something "come inside and have lunch," as the three of them left, Honoka glanced once more at the dandelions and smiled.

"Honoka!"

"Coming!"

The story which Honoka told did not seen to affect her much, she was happily munching on her bread ignoring Umi's lecture about how she's going to get fat if she keeps eating looked at her and smiled

"so that girl changed Honoka's life,"

"Eli-chi" Nozomi said snapping her out of her thoughts, "What were you and Honoka doing outside for such a long time, even Honayo took some time to come when i told her to bring you both,"

"Oh," Eli looked at Honoka who was watching TV "Honoka was telling me about an old friend,"

"Friend?" Eli nodded but before she could respond,

"Come on everyone, let's practice," Umi said "we have wasted enough time anyway,"

"Come on Umi-chan it's a holiday let's just rest," Honoka whined.

"No, no excuses", Umi folded her arms, Nico, Rin and Honoka grumbled but went to practice anyway after seeing Umi's death glare.

About 3 hours later,

"So are you going to tell me?" Nozomi looked up from her book

"Tell what?" Nozomi came and sat beside her

"About Honoka's friend," Eli looked at Honoka

"I'm not sure," Honoka turned around and smiled at her telling it's okay to tell Nozomi

"Ok,"

"Wait, a story i want to hear too," Rin came and sat beside them.

"Well i -" before Eli could finish.

"No, it's about Honoka's past," Nozomi said.

"What you never said us about it Honoka-chan," Kotori said, she and Umi too came in "tell us too,"

Soon everyone had joined in eagerly waiting for Eli to start,

"You too Nico-chan? Nozomi grinned.

"I was just getting bored ok, it's not like i wanted to hear about her past or anything,"

Eli sweatdropped and turned to Honoka, Honoka wasn't sure she wanted her story to be broadcasted to everyone but now there was backing down, with a sign she just signaled for Eli to continue as Eli explained Honoka stayed far from the group avoiding thier reactions at certain points finally when it got over.

"What sort of story was that?' Nico's words didn't match her actions as she continuously wiped away her tears.

"Nico-chi you're crying,"

"That was amazing, so you had all these experiences before coming to us?" Umi asked smiling at Honoka which dosen't happen very often.

"Yeah!" she said "i was sad when i came back, but due to Maki i learned to talk to people and make new friends, that's how we're friends,'

"That story was a one of true friendship," Nozomi said, everyone nodded.

"Could you get the blankets it's in the other room,"

"Should i?" Honoka grumbled, she was watching her favorite show after all.

"Yup you should, otherwise the TV is off,"

"Ok, ok" the room where the blankets were kept was a quiet one with a huge window, the gentle light from the moon broke through the room's darkness spreading white light all over. Even with the load of blankets the glittering stars made Honoka to stop and look at them.

"Maki-chan," she smiled " i wish that wherever you are, however you are that one day-"

"-we'll meet again," a redhead in another place finished watching the same stars.

"Maki dear it's time for bed,",

"Yes mom,"

Honoka turned and walked away, both of them didn't notice the shooting star which moved swiftly across the sky as they thier wish.

So this was in present times, not much was there in it but i hope you liked it

And don't forget to read and review.

Bye have a nice day.
