After that incident, the two friends became closer than ever.

The next day, since it was the weekend, everyone was home.

Lime sat at her desk drawing, when she got a text from Hina.

Hina: Hey, Lime-chan! Wanna hang out with us? Kaoru and Lisa are here, and I also want you to meet Maya!

Lime grinned at the text.

Lime: Count me in! Where are you?

Hina: Outside your house.

Lime stared at the screen before a knock sounded at the front door.

She opened it and sure enough, there was Hina, Kaoru, Lisa, and who she figured was Maya were standing outside.

"How did y'all know where I lived," Lime asked.

"We asked the office." Hina stuck her tongue out in silliness. "So, are you ready?"

Since she was already dressed, Lime looked down at herself and replied, "I've been ready, sweetie."

The girls all giggled. They all went to the mall, each going in groups.

Lisa and Hina went to the clothes shops, while Maya, Lime and Kaoru went to the bookstore, since Lime loved books.

Her eyes lit up like flashlights, and she raced to the manga section, the two girls panting when they caught up.

"You really love manga, huh Lime-san?" Maya asked.

Lime nodded happily, already picking up a thick manga.

"I always like to imagine my friends as characters. Like for instance, you Maya, you're the pop star who saves her home with her music!"

Maya blushed and giggled.

"Lisa is the kind-hearted princess, caring for animals that are endangered. Hina is the jokester who is serious about her dream as a swordsman."

Lime looked at Kaoru, thinking deeply.

"You, Kaoru, are the fairy that is trying to find her loved one after she is captured by an evil witch!"

Kaoru chuckled. "What a lovely vision you have of me. Of everyone as well."

"What do you envision yourself as?" Maya asked curiously.

Lime was quiet for a moment. "I haven't really thought of that."

After a few more minutes of talking, Lime got her books and they met up with Lisa and Hina, their hands filled with shopping bags.

The girls ate lunch and went their separate ways, promising to hang out again soon.
