The sun shined down on Ayu as she walked home from school, humming while she skipped along down the side walk. Ayu smiled and closed her eyes, leaning her head to-wards the sun. It warmed her face and made her eyelids seem red from the inside. When she opened her eyes, she sighed and continued walking, thinking hard about what her history teacher had said that day. She had been teaching the class about Marco Polo's first visit to China, the one where he stayed 12 years with the emperor, before sneaking out of the country.
"When Polo returned to Italy, he wrote a very descriptive book on China's people and culture. Some people believed him to be crazy, or lying. This silenced Polo, he never seemed to talk about his visit to China to anyone. But, as he lay dieing on his death bed, he started telling everyone around his about the beauties of Chinese culture. I guess some memories never fade..."
That had struck Ayu hard, it reminded her of herself, in ways. Even though every one told her she had been in a seven year coma, she felt as is she had meerly taken a short nap. She could clearly remember the day she fell out of the tree, like it had only been yesterday. Ayu looked up from the side walk and gasped,
"Ugu!" She muttered, and backed away from the place her feet had subconsciously taken her. The girl starred at the double doors of the hospital, then turned and walked over to a bench, sitting down. A lone tear fell from her eyes, and she quickly wiped it away with her sleeve.

Yuichi was walking through the streets holding shopping bags in his hands. "Where are your friends when you need them?" He asked himself in his mind. It was no use, he had to take a break, he had already walked many miles holding the heavy bags, his arms felt numb. Without noticing Ayu there Yuichi sat down on the bench beside her and dropped the bags next to his feet, he then placed his right arm around the top of the bench where people would normally rest their head, this forced anyone sitting on the bench to rest there head on his arm, he didn't notice as he was so tired. Yuichi then started to make sighs of relief, it seemed as if he was intentionally making Ayu uncomfortable, but he seriously didn't see her there.

Ayu slumped forward, her hands catching her face as she muttered something incomprehensible. She smacked the side of her head, trying to rid her mind of that stupid repeating phrase. It echoed in her head like in one of those cheesy romance movies her friends watched after a really bad break up. Ayu leaned back on the bench, and sighed deeply. Her neck bumped into someone's arm, and that was when she noticed who was sitting next to her. She looked over, about to scold the boy, who must have had to be some creep, putting their arm on the back on the bench where she was sitting, but stopped and gasped lightly.
"Yuichi-kun! I didn't see you there." Ayu grinned and turned to face him completely.

Yuichi slowly turned his head until he was facing Ayu, he looked at her face for a good ten seconds before noticing it was her, when he realized he jumped up. "Ayu!?" He said in a wondrous voice, he was surprised she was here of all places, he picked up his shopping bags and looked at her once more. "Ayu?" He asked once more, he began to sweat he knew if she saw him doing the shopping she wouldn't let him live it down, he would always mock her for shopping and doing so called slave work.

Ayu smiled, "Yes, it's me, you dork." She frowned as he stood up and began to sweat, and noticed the large bags in his hands. "What-" She began to speak, then read the words on the bags, and her jaw dropped. The girl grinned at him, "You were shopping, weren't you Yuichi?!" She giggled and stood up as well. Of all the things for Yuichi to be doing after school, shopping would be on the very bottom of the list. Ayu sighed, still grinning, and sat back down. "That's so weird. I'd never expect you to be shopping on a day like this."
Ayu breathed deeply as a breeze passed by them. Snow suddenly began to fall, but lucky for them there was a ledge of the hospital's roof that kept the snow from reaching them. She stuck her hand out so that snow flakes could fall onto her bare palm. Ayu loved snow. She could live in this town her whole life and she'd always love snow. "So.. what brought on this sudden urge to go buy clothes?" She asked, still slightly laughing.

Yuichi was pretty used to the snow now. Ages ago he'd look up at the sky in amazement that it was snowing. "Tonight is the night!" He yelled in a humorous voice as he pointed on finger up into the air. "Think of a huge party were you can take any girl you like, dance all night and eat whatever you like." Yuichi continued in a casual voice.

Ayu smiled and giggled at what he said. She elbowed him playfully and looked up at him with a grin on her face, "I'm thinking. I just don't know where this huge party is." Ayu raised an eyebrow at him, subtly implying that she wanted him to tell her. Yuichi was definitely one of her best friends ever. She didn't think she'd ever find someone who would ever go through as many bad or troubling experiences with her and still have the guts to even look at her. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down on the bench, "Sit down, baka. So anyway, can I come to this miraculous party? Or is my name not on the guest list?" Again, she grinned, but looked out at the cars racing by on the streets.
Her mind kept drifting from subject to subject, she really couldn't stop it. Ayu saw the both of them the day she had fallen from her tree. They were talking about something irreverent, and looking out at the big city. Ayu had tried to climb higher in the tree, and something had gone wrong. She had grabbed the wrong branch, slipped, and fell. Then, she remembered waking up in the hospital seven years later. It had only seemed like she had gone to sleep and woken up the next day, but almost a decade had passed. She just didn't understand how that was possible. Her teacher's words echoed in her mind, and Ayu let her head fall into her hands.

Yuichi began to sweat drastically. "Umm well...how can I put this.." Yuichi appeared nervous, he had worked Ayu's hope up. Could such a party even exist? "It's just made up...I don't actually know of such a party." He replied as he placed his hands in his face, he was playfully copying Ayu.
