The Greatest 24 Hours of my Life.

5pm is when it began. That moment on until 5pm the next day, which is today, was a most memorable brief period of excellence. I was able to look at the faces I most missed, spend time doing the unexpected, and finding myself.

At first when Lioness and Nut Trees picked Astro and I up at church, Astro was already in the car with then. Of course, I was late to come. But it's all good. So many words were bouncing in my head. Lioness is so beautiful to me and the happy glow around Nut Trees couldn't stop me from smiling. I talk to Astro like 24/7, but I still missed her anyways. Haha. In the car it was pretty awkward because Lioness and Astro have been in an out of the world war. But they have respect for their surroundings and the people around them so no hurt or words were put out. They haven't seen each other in five months, and now they have to look, talk, and deal with each other for the next 24 hours. Her mum had to grocery shop at Great Wall, so that was our destination before saetting off to Lioness' house.
Great Wall Events:
A stolen head band.
A boy staring from a smoothie shop.
A bubble tea drink with four straws.
Laughing and running around forgetting about the time and tension.

When we left we got to Lioness' house and started off with playing Rock Band, and that was for about a couple hours. Then we ate food and just talk about EVERYTHING. You know how girls are, they never run out of things to talk about. I could feel as if every second being lost was another string being placed back into our blanket of friendship. We talked about boys, family, school, people, our dreams, our nightmares, our fears, and more importantly ourselves. We ended up sneaking out of the house to lay down on the road to gaze at the stars. Thinking of Jinks, we knew we had to treasure this adventure. Billions of pictures were tooken and memories were created. We ended up sleeping around 3:30 or 4 in the morning. The Lioness roared at us the following morning about that. Muahaha.

We awoke to the doorbell and high-pitched voice of Jinks. It was a bit awkward and unsteady when we first saw her, but that changed the second we saw her real smile once again. Mahn, did it feel good. It took awhile, but it came. We ate doughnuts for breakfast, and had a Guitar Hero Battle! We decided that today we were going to go to the mall. All five of us made this such a big deal by putting on makeup, straightening and curling our hair, putting on all of Lioness' clothes, and taking a bajillion pictures. We looked nothing like ourselves, but just us 5 together was all we needed to have people see who we are; best friends for life. We spent the rest of the day gossiping, yelling, crying, laughing, spending money, eating, and then parting at a goodbye at 5 pm.

There's no other friendship that I've ever heard of that is as strong and weird like the Fab 6. I love them. I hope they know that. I know that we will always love each other no matter what we go through. For all those best friends, friends, siblings, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, here's some advice.

"Fighting and being torn up is the worst infliction of pain to the heart and body. You gotta remember though, baby, the best part of all this hurt is the fix and happy ending. You should never give up or throw away something that let you smile and warmed your heart. God blessed you with a gift, why give it up?"-Anonymous.
