————————————

Winter is over. The snow and cold has come and gone and so has a friend. But this friend will visit again. She and Kris has promised to actually keep in touch more from now on, since she sadly had to return to her hometown.

Spring however, has sprung once more. No one could believe that it's been a year now since they've all been together.

And on this dark and gloomy spring day, a certain someone was searching for his music box in his room. He thought the sound of it would cheer up the gloominess of today.

He looked in his dresser, under his bed, but it was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey M-Mae, have you s-seen my music box?" Kris asked his shorter cat friend, who was currently sitting on her bed, and playing a game on her laptop.

"Nope, I haven't seen it sorry." She said, not taking her eyes off the screen as she was concentrated on her game.

Kris sighed to himself as he stood there in thought.

'Maybe I left it downstairs..'

He made his way out of the room and walked downstairs, immediately bumping into Madotsuki.

"O-oh sorry Maddy!"

"No no it's ok!" She said waving her hand in reassurance.

"H-hey, b-by any chance, have y-you seen my music box a-anywhere?"

Maddy thought for moment, wondering if she recalled it somewhere, but came up with nothing.

"No I'm sorry, I haven't seen-"

Just then they heard playing nearby. A sweet yet calm melody.

"You hear that?" Madotsuki asked Kris who nodded.

They both followed the sound and found that it was coming from Six and Maddy's room. She opened the door and found Six sitting on the floor with the music box, as it played its wonderful melody.

"Six! Give Kris back his music box!"

Six only looked up from the music box beside her to see Kris and Maddy look down at her and looked back towards the melody again, ignoring the two.

Kris stood there not knowing what to do. Madotsuki huffed.

"Guess we're doing this the hard way.."

As Six picks up the music box and begins to crank it again, Maddy suddenly tackles her, pinning her to the floor and dropping the music box out her hands. Luckily, it didn't break.

"I got her! Grab it! Grab it and run!" Madotsuki yells as Six tries to fight back against her.

Kris runs and grabs the music box from the floor before running out of the room and back upstairs. Madotsuki let's out a sigh of relief and looks down and Six, who she still has pinned down.

"Why the heck did you take his music box Six? You could of just asked!"

Six said nothing and looked away from the girl. Maddy sighed again, letting her go as they both sat up from the floor. Six continued to look away from Maddy.

"Are you going to tell me why you stole Kris' music box or what?" Six just remained silent, still not sparing a glance at the other.

"Fine. You don't have to tell me. Just make sure you ask next time please." Madotsuki said, getting up from the floor and walking out.
