...

You ran outside, seeing Ray under his tree. Collet ran to Ray, jumping on him. "Hi~ya~! The others are playing tag in the forest, right?" "Mhm, correct." "Aawh man~! They excluded me! They know how much I LOVE that game!" I sat on the grass, with a sad yet 'wanting attention' face. "R.I.P for you. You can sit here and talk with me, I guess." Ray pats my head and I grin. "Thanks best one and only emo older brother!~"
"A what—??" He stops patting me and he looks at me with a flustered yet confused face. "Best one and only emo older brother! Ya deaf?~" Ray looks away and I look at him in a teasing way. "Don't- don't call me that. And I ain't deaf."
"Okie! I'll stop. Let's talk about our besties!"
I sat next to Ray and we talked about our best friends, AKA Norman and Emma, Phil and Sherry.

"Well, Sherry and Phil are cool. I really like them, even tho they seem too energetic some times."

"Same here. Emma is always too energetic, I'm kinda tired of it, but she is my bestfriend, and I want to see her smile as much as possible."

"Awwh!~ That's so sweet of you, onii-chan! (big brother in japanese) When I grow up, I want to be just like you!"

"Well, how about we switch the topic. Let's talk about... Our best friends' embarrassing moments." Ray grinned evilly and I did the same.

"Did you know that when Emma was your age, she wanted to ride a giraffe?" He said, giggling.

"WHAT! ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS??"

"Mhm, it was hilarious when she said that. How about'cha?"

"Well, one day Phil and Sherry got in trouble because they—"

I was cutted off by someone jumping on my back. I quickly recognised them and I turned around, smiling warmly. "Hey Phil, Sherry!~ What's up?" "Nothing, we just lost to Norman in tag." Said Sherry with a bit embarrassed grin, she rubs the back of her head. "Well, it's Norman after all!" Said Phil. We all started to laugh and I pat both of their heads. "You both surely did awesome!" "Awwh! Thanks, Collet!" They blushed a bit by the complement (They are just [best] friends, don't get bad and dirty thoughts). I stood up, running to the others with Phil and Sherry. Ray smiled sadly at me. 'I'm sorry.' He thought to himself, while one tear falls from his cheek. He noticed mother's presence so he quickly wiped it off. I looked at mother, then at Ray.
'Something's off with those two, for sure. I'll ask Ray later, though.'

...

After the game

I saw Norman and Emma walk out of the forest. 'I guess Norman won, again.' Collet turned around, looking at Phil and Sherry. "So, Guīmì, wanna go to the forest?~" Phil and Sherry looked at themselves, them at me again. They had a confused face. "Gui... mi...?" They recalled, making me sigh in defeat. "Guīmì, besties in Chinese." "Oooohhhh! Sure!" Sherry stretched her arms. "Yaay~! Let's go, then!"

...

In the forest, near river

We walked to a nearby river and we talked, laughed and tell some jokes to eachother. "Hey, guys. I have a question." "Hm? What is it?" Sherry asked, tilting her head. "What do you guys want to do when you will get...- adopted?.." I asked with a sad smile. "Oh, I want to see a train!" Phil said, running infront of me and Sherry, waving his arms in the air. "I actually don't know yet! Sorry.." "It's 'k!" "What about you, Collet?" I looked at them, then at the grass. My eyes were covered by a shadow and my wide, warm smile suddenly disappeared.
"I want to make you guys happy and be with you no matter what.."
"That's so sweet! Thank you so much!" Phil giggled. "No problem, my little bèndàn. (Again a reminder, they are besties, nothing more)
"What's a b...bèndàn?-" Phil looked at me confused.
"It means idi•t, in Chin—" I got cutted off by Phil pushing me in the river. "HEY—" I tried to grab a rock, but instead, I pulled Phil and Sherry with me. "EEEEK—" We three squeaked as we fall into the cold water.
"WHY DID YOU PULL US WITH YOU-" Sherry yelled as I laughed. "Y-your faces! They were hilarious!" Sherry and Phil looked at eachother and the started giggling. We then heard footsteps running towards us, it was Emma, Norman, Ray, Gilda, Don and Nat. "WHAT HAPPENE—" Gilda yelled but she cutted her sentence off when she saw us laughing in the river. "WHA—? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING! WHY ARE YOU THREE IN THE RIVER!" Gilda yelled, ran up to us and make us to stand on the grass. "We're going home and get you changed, now." "But- we're fineee four-eyes!" I teased my older sibling with an annoyed tone, making her even anger.
"No you're not! You guys are all went and Conny will get adopted in 4 hours! Besides, don't call me FOUR-EYES!" She yelled as Phil and Sherry looked down on the ground in an apologetic way. "Sorry Gildaaaa!" Sherry looked away and said quietly, but loud enough to make Gilda hear it. Ray sighed, saying: "Let's go back, everyone. Mama's gonna be worried about us not being where we usually are." And with that, we went back to the house to get changed.

...

Time skip: Conny's adoption

Conny stood infront of everyone on the porch. She held her plush, Little Bunny/Bernie close.
"I may not so good physically like you all, I may not be as smart as you guys, too, but I'll always try my best in the future!" Everyone was near crying. "Conny..." Don said, he was the first one to start crying. "I'm not as intelligent as you guys..." Everyone looked at her with a sad face. "I'm not as awesome as you guys, either..." She continued. "But I want to become like mama!" Conny smiled at everyone.

"And then, I will never, ever let go of my kids!" Conny grinned warmly and she giggled. "Conny..." Emma ran to Conny and she hugged her tightly. Ray was watching everything from behind, same as me. 'Something's off with Ray... I'll try and ask him later about it. Maybe tomorrow...'

Mama and Conny left I watched from the front doors as they walk away. I clench my fists, I was near crying. She's going to her death, after all. I then felt someone hugging me from behind. It was once again Phil and Sherry, my bestest friends. "She will be okay, Collet! Don't worry about her that much! Conny will be safe and sound!" Sherry comforted me. I made a tired yet sad smiled and looked through my shoulder on Sherry. "Thanks, guys. Let's go to bed now." I hugged them both and we went to our bedrooms. I also saw Emma and Norman run past us with Little Bunny to the front doors, then I started to understand. They are about to find out the secret. I feel really sorry for them- They have to see Conny's body. But I questioned myself, how did Little Bunny end up here? Didn't Conny carry her when she was going outside? Oh well, it's not important right now.
