Kirara stayed silent for the whole drive back to Aikatsu Street. How could she hate Blossom, Angel, Sawtooth, Pumpkin, and the little baby? She couldn't! That was the problem. They were so sweet. But Aikatsu Street ... how could she leave it? How could she love to go?

It was sunset when the Hanazono car pulled into their driveway. Instead of going home, Kirara started in the opposite direction. "Where are you going?" Mrs. Hanazono asked her daughter

"I'm going to Henry and Shelly's house,"

Mr. Hanazono checked his watch then looked at the sky "Okay," he said "But be back before it gets dark,"

"Okay,"

Kirara walked through the woods, she passed by the baseball field. There was Akari! She was with Yume, Rin, Rei, and Ako. They were talking with baseball equipment in hand, they were laughing at some joke Akari told them. Even Ako was laughing! Kirara was already replaced.

Kirara continued walking, but a bit faster. She had to make it back to the house before she cried. Unless she didn't cry. But tears were coming she could feel it!

Kirara ran! She dashed all the way til she was at the Bokerdole Mansion. But she didn't stop to knock or ring, she ran all the way til she was at the garden gate. She practically slammed into the fence as she tried to open the door. Why wouldn't it open? Kirara tried harder but it was no use. Her eyes burned from tears.

"Kirara?" Henry came out from the side door "Kirara what are you doing here? What's wrong?"

"This dumb door won't open!" Kirara cried, tears pouring from her eyes

"Stop, stop, stop," Henry help up his hand, Kirara stopped. He opened the gate door and gave Kirara a sincere look "What's wrong?"

"The ... the ... the door -"

"This is about more then the door,"

Kirara's lip quivered "If ... If I moved ... would you forget me?" she asked

"Oh Kirara, we could never forget you," Henry assured her, smiling sympathetically "You are a special friend of ours, no matter where you are and no matter where we may go,"

"Where would you go?" Kirara asked

"No where,"

"Hmm ... but I'm  going somewhere," said Kirara "I don't want to go. Because then my friends will forget about me or I'll forget about you! And-and-and I've lived here for almost my whole life and-and-and I don't want to go!"

"Oh," Kirara wrapped her arms around Henry and cried for what felt forever until finally Henry suggested that they went inside.

Kirara was taken to The Beauty Room, a beautiful room with a lot of windows, books, and a piano. Kirara sat down on the couch as Shelly came into the room, Henry explained things to her and Shelly announced she would make some tea. "Tea always helps me feel better," Shelly told Kirara "Is that okay with you?"

"Sure," Kirara shrugged

Kirara laid her head down on the arm of the sofa and after what felt like a few blinks, a tray of tea and cookies was laid out on the coffee table in front of her. "Hello sleeping beauty," said Shelly "Feel better after a little nap?"

Kirara nodded then gasped and looked out the window. "It's night!" she cried, standing up "I have to- I have to,"

"Your father called," said Henry "He said you could stay long enough for us to talk, if you want,"

"Umm ..." Kirara sat down then took a cookie off the platter "I guess I could stay,"

Shelly smiled. "So how are you Kirara?"

Kirara swallowed "Not well," she said "I like where we're moving,"

"Oh that's ... awful," said Henry

"It's just that everything is so confusing! If I leave then I'll be so busy with sheep and farm boys and Ako will be friends with Akari and be all rich and fancy -"

"Whoa, whoa," said Henry "Who's Akari?" Kirara didn't answer, she just nibbled on her cookie until it was gone. "Hmm ... How about I tell you a story about what happened to me when I was just a bit older then you,"

"Okay," Kirara shrugged then took a sip of tea. Shelly was right, it did make her feel better.

"When I was going to my first year of college, I had to move far away from my home town," said Henry "That means I had move very far from my friends, even Shelly,"

"Even Shelly?" Kirara looked up, surprised

"Even me," said Shelly

"Wow ... but you're married,"

"We weren't always married," Henry continued "You know it broke my heart to leave, but in the end, it's like we've never been apart,"

Kirara smiled and turned to Shelly "Did you make new friends while Henry was away?"

"Yes. But they never replaced him," Shelly put a hand on Kirara's hand "Kirara, new friends don't replace old friends, and love doesn't divide or subtract, it multiplies,"

Kirara drank some more tea. "So you won't forget me?"

"No, and you won't forget us?" Henry asked

"Never!" Kirara cried "At least ... I'll try,"
