Just Friends

Rue sat alone on top of a hill

Just outside of town

Watching the sun go down

"I thought I might find you here,"

Jujube sat next to Ruechari

Rue swiped away a tear

"You always preferred

A wide open space."

He wiped another tear

from her face

Ruechari tried to smile

"Your father Chief Damage Goods

called you a wild child."

I remember...

Jujube started to sing

She joined him

in the happy memories

it did bring.

"It's one of things I loved about you

You were so different than the rest."

Rue grinned,

"But I am not exactly what

You were expecting, I guess?"

Jujube smiled at her,

"You can say that, more or less."

"The farmlands, I call home.

Your heart, it needs to roam.

It hurts to say I may not be

The right fit for you, Ruechari."

"I see how Billy fights for you

I doubt there is anything

He would not do

And I know you feel the same

For him too."

"I am sorry if I caused you pain,"

She felt ashamed.

"It's not how I intended for things to be

I meant to honor my promise, Jujube."

"Then my world got turned upside down

The moment I stepped foot in this town

I have been put to the test

Becoming Shaman of the West."

"You have been chosen to be...?"

"Yes, Jujube.

It is another reason

I agree, you and I

Aren't meant to be."

"And then there is Billy

Who I met in Destiny

And no the irony

Is not lost on me."

"I was lost and confused

Used and abused

He stayed by my side

Through one hell of a ride

Never once did he hide

Now, I have damaged his pride."

"You can make it right again.

But know in me you always

Have a friend."

He tugged her braid

He could see she was afraid

She needed to be brave.

"Go...

What are you waiting for?"

She knew Jujube was right

She wasn't done with this fight

She decided she'd face her fear

She would cry no more tears

She had smiled

Like a wild child

"Thank you Jujube!"

"For what?"

"For setting me free."
