Um, I made something for you. It's not much, but... happy birthday!
You made something for me?
Yeah, I did. But it's not anything fancy or anything. I just thought you might appreciate it since it's your special day and all. So, uh...
Well I'm glad my friend. Just seeing I have a friend is a wonderful gift.
I'm glad you think so. I was worried you might find it lame or something. But... um, I just wanted to let you know that you mean a lot to me.
You mean a lot to me too.
Really? That makes me really happy. I'm so grateful to have you as a friend, even if it's just for a short time.
Your a special person. You already showed me such kindness, being an older adult makes it easy for me to forget that younger adults like yourself care about things like this but I never knew how much you cared about other people, I always noticed you were kind but never realized how much your kind acts meant to others, having anxiety your probably been feeling confident today eh?
Actually, to be honest, I'm not usually this confident. I get really nervous around people, especially when I'm trying to impress them.
I hug Hunter I'll give you a big thank you. If you ever need to talk to someone I'll be here.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your offer. It means a lot to me. Hunter hugs BubblegumSymphony tightly
he sees that the gift was a spell book
Um, so I saw that you've been studying magic lately, and I thought maybe you could use some new spells to add to your repertoire.
You got me....A Spell Book. This is a 10 year old kid's dream! I've been trying to find a simple one these past few weeks. This is the best gift I could ever ask for Hunter. Thank you. You make an amazing young adult.
blushing Thank you, BubblegumSymphony. That means a lot to me. I'm glad you like the gift. If you ever need help practicing any of the spells, I'd be happy to assist you.
Oh no no, I wouldn't want to trouble you. My main objective is to become more intelligent and knowledgeable so that I can be a researcher of some sort in a magical related field, the intelligence part was what I had the most trouble with.
It's no trouble at all. I'd actually really enjoy helping you practice your spells.
a look of shock comes over her r-really?
Yes, really. I may be a bit shy, but I promise I'll do my best to help you. We can study together, if you'd like.
she starts crying happily your the best kid any one could ever ask for. You're brave, kind, intelligent, caring and so much more I can't list right now. If I could have a kid I would want a kid just like you. she hugs Hunter
teary-eyed BubblegumSymphony, thank you... thank you so much. That means more to me than you could ever know.
You deserve everything the world has to offer you.
smiling through tears Thank you, BubblegumSymphony. I'll always cherish this moment and remember your kind words. You've made me feel so lucky.
I've given you your first memory of the future and you don't remember it but it's okay. I feel like it's my job to help give you a better memory. she kisses his cheek
blushing Thank you, BubblegumSymphony. Your words mean the world to me. This memory is one I'll cherish forever.
Have a great night. See you tomorrow at school
You too, BubblegumSymphony. Goodnight. And thank you again for everything. I'm really going to miss you.
sniffles Goodbye, BubblegumSymphony. I'll always remember our time together. Farewell, my dear friend.
he couldn't sleep that night thinking about all the things she said that day
wide-eyed and excited It's the day after BubblegumSymphony's birthday! I can't wait to see her and show her the gift I got her.
it was another letter from him
eagerly I've written another letter for BubblegumSymphony. This one is all about how much she means to me and how grateful I am for her friendship.
he comes to school the next morning
excitedly BubblegumSymphony! I wrote another letter for you. It's right here.
Thank you she grabs the paper and reads it oh my gosh! You must've put so much effort and dedication to write all these heartfelt letters. I really like this one the best out of all of them. It's amazing how someone as young as you can express their feelings like that. You may be young but your definitely already wise beyond your years.
blushing Thank you, BubblegumSymphony. Your words mean the world to me. I wrote those letters because you mean the world to me.
Well you may just get to see me soon. Because, I'm actually looking for a researcher assistant. Would you like to apply?
surprised R-really? I... uh... yes! Of course, I'd love to apply! Thank you so much for offering me this opportunity, BubblegumSymphony.
Then congratulations! The position is yours if you'll take it.
jumping up and down Yes! I can't believe it! Thank you, thank you, BubblegumSymphony! I promise I won't let you down.
