my my, was this a sight she's never seen before! the girl after long comforting walks arrives to her destination, the farm.
It had a red barn with beautifully decorated fences all around it's wide open space, What a coincidence! The barn was her favourite colour, Which you can already guess.
She starts walking to it excitedly, what new people could she meet here? What would they be like? Will they get along right away? She was a reader and especially loved reading about physcology and how people around her react, just the thrill of meeting someone new with a personality she may have never seen before excites her.
..
She finally reaches the barn's door and sees a piece of metal hanging on the large sliding wooden door, she figured it's probably used the same way a doorbell would be used, and makes three loud bangs on the door using it.
Faint footsteps could be heard, was that the barn keeper?
"Okay okay, I'm getting it..
Oh my.. hello there, Anything I can help with?"
says a taller girl with a very alluring aura, the type of girl that looks like she'd get along with everyone very well, and impact you with her strong personality.
a girl with a pair of golden brown eyes that shone bright in the sun, the Strawberry girl was dashed by her beauty for a mere second.
"I'm Miriam! Nice to meet ya bud, I assume you're from the town nearby?"
says the tall girl.

"Yes! My name is *"#@-

ah.. sorry, the signal must've cut off, always does that randomly.. anyway, where were we?

-I decided to drop by and see how it's like here! I've always loved to explore new places."
says the strawberry girl with a smile.

"I see.. well you're welcome anytime, come right in."
she says as she Invites her new visitor into the barn, deciding to give her a little friendly tour.

..

"This place is even more amazing than I imagined! I love it!"

"Glad to hear that little one."
Miriam says with a smile on her face.

"How old are you by the way? I assume we might be the same age, no need to call me little one y'know."

"Aw why not? It's a perfect nickname if you ask me."

"Yeah right!" She says as she lightly punches Miriam on the shoulder while they both laugh, they were getting along very well and already enjoyed each other's company.

They walk alongside eachother for a while before Miriam pauses in her tracks and so does the other as they see her stand.

"What's up? Did something happen?"
Strawberry girl says with confusion in her eyes

"Oh, I just remembered that I happened to get a pack from the town today, and one of the strawberries contained in it looked really special that I couldn't put It away with the others."
she claims as the other nods signaling that she's interested and would like her to continue.

"And well.. Judging from your attire, you really like strawberries, don't you?
So perhaps.."
she pulls out a very uniquely shaped strawberry that you wouldn't see everyday. It was two strawberries joint together
shaped in a heart!

Strawberry girl gasps in excitement.

"Perhaps you'd love to have this more than me. Consider it a welcoming gift."
she says with a smile as she walks over to her visitor, as she grabs her hand gently to raise up the strawberry basket in her hands, and puts the unique strawberry in it.

For a moment, She feels something in her stomach that she never felt before, she was paying attention to that detail and even gave her a gift?!

"No way.. you wouldn't! Seriously?!"
she says with extreme excitement anyone could recognize from far away, as Miriam Chuckles.

"Seems I've made the right decision, I'm glad you like it."

"Thank you so much! Actually.."
she pulls out a strawberry shaped in a ball, for a moment, Miriam tries to hold in her laugh.

"Aw come on, I gave you a heart and I get a ball?"
she says jokingly with a giggle.

"I know it's not as great as the one you gave me but.. I'd still like to give you something in return! Besides now we have matching unique strawberries!"

"Hey hey I was kidding relax! I love it. You don't know this, but I love it when someone gives me creative gifts like these!"

"Would this really be considered creative though?"
They both laugh as they hold their special gifts.
This was gonna be a strong bond for sure.
