4. Neighbors

Yuya was a very happy tomato. Everyday he played one of his many musical instruments to practice. And today, for the first time ever not only had one of his neighbors joined in with a musical instrument of their own, but another neighbor had actually requested a song! It made Yuya feel good to know that his neighbors liked his music.

Yuya usually played his music for an hour each day, and today was no different. His downstairs neighbor stopped playing their violin too when the hour was up. Clearly they had been keeping track of his music schedule.

"That was fun!" Yuya said happily as he cleaned his flute and put it away. His downstairs neighbor replied through the ceiling, "Yeah, it was! My name's Yuri, by the way. What's yours?"

"Yuya!" replied the cheerful tomato.

"You guys are really good," Yuri's next-door neighbor called out from their apartment. "The music sounded even better with both of you playing together! Oh, and I'm Yugo!"

"And I'm Yuto," said Yuya's next door neighbor from the other side of the wall Yuya was standing next to.

"It's very nice to meet you all!" Yuya said, beaming even though his neighbors couldn't see him. "You all seem much cooler than my upstairs neighbor!"

"Oh, I hate the upstairs neighbors!" Yuto groaned. "What in the hell are they doing all night? They make so much noise! It sounds like they're vacuuming or slamming doors and cupboards or hosting a marathon in their apartments all night!"

"I know right!" Yuya whined. "And then there's the nights when they fight, or have, well… y'know…."

He was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but his neighbors all seemed to understand. Yuri said, "I'm glad you're not like that. You limit your noise to the daytime, and on the rare occasion I hear anything from your apartment at night, it sounds like you're at least trying to keep it as quiet as possible."

"Yeah!" Yugo said. "You guys are great neighbors!"

"You know, I'm seriously considering running the vacuum on the ceiling the next time my upstairs neighbor wakes me up at 2AM with too much noise," Yuya sighed.

"Same," Yuto agreed. "I mean seriously, do they have to be so inconsiderate?!"

"If you do that, give us a heads up or something so we know to expect it," Yugo said. Yuri laughed. "Yeah, and so we have time to get popcorn and enjoy the show!"
