Day 14 - Hans and Jasper

[Submitted by @Jasper_04394]

As the oldest members of Grace Field House remember, this friendship lasted from the time they joined the orphanage almost at the same time, they grew up together and remained the closest and best friends in the world. They were now 7 years old... They had come a long way since leaving Grace Field House... without understanding, without any information, they had just found Emma and all those who had suddenly disappeared in that sinister fire... After many, many, many years, they had found them again, and without understanding they had stepped through that portal into the unknown and they were in the human world.

The anecdotes of their friendship are numerous, like this time they had fallen asleep in their treehouse, the others had searched for them for several hours before it was Vivian who found the hidden cabin. Or this time or after Mama taught them how to bake cookies, they had baked them alone for the first time and despite the fact that it wasn't really successful, it was their cookies and they were proud like they had never been before.

Now they were in the same house with Vivian and other children, Nigel was the oldest and in charge of watching them. The three of them slept in the same bed at Jasper's request so that he could be with the two most important people in his life, and the days were paced in the same way: Wake up, breakfast with everyone, chores, study, and in the afternoons and evenings the three of them were often together or with their families for a special activity.

Hans remembered a memory that had left a lasting impression on him, it was the time they were playing a game of tag with everyone, Jasper was panicking alone in the forest and instead of going to hide with the others Hans had turned around and helped him, they had ended up being caught first by Don, they had spent the next twenty minutes chatting, It was the first time they really talked together and afterwards they spent the day together laughing like crazy... and that's when they started to build their hut and for a good two weeks they were deliberately getting caught first each time to continue on their hut, that's why nobody knew where it was (except Mama who had the tracking device). They had decided to do the same in the place where they lived from now on, but this time their treehouse was enthroned above the steep valley of Grace Field Village, everyone had helped to build it and it almost looked like a second house, it was perfect for the summer nights, with the mild temperatures, it was not unpleasant at night and the view of the whole valley was indefinable, it was something you had to see at least once in a lifetime.

Everyone agreed that it was a friendship that would last for many, many years to come, and that was what these two hoped for more than anything else in the world.
