It was a nice mid-September afternoon. I decided to have lunch in the courtyard. The courtyard was super pretty with the Cherry Blossom Trees circling the area. They were dropping their pink flower petals and the entire atmosphere was pink because of the midday sun hitting the falling petals. I wanted to be outside for lunch today and I grabbed some soba noodles from the lunch room and went outside. I wore a cute white ruffled undershirt and put a pink overall dress on. I had a simple small cherry blossom tucked in my hair. I found a nice spot on the group and laid out a pink gingham picnic blanket on the floor. I placed the Soba and dipping sauce on the picnic blanket and took out a pink sketchbook and art supplies. In the distance I could hear someone playing “Forbidden Colours” on the piano in the distance. It was peaceful as I dipped the noodles in the dipping sauce. The music playing in the distance just made the atmosphere better. I started humming along to the tune. It was my favorite song to play, when I did have a piano. The courtyard was quiet, and I was the only one there. At least, I thought I was, until I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. Who is that? I wondered. As far as I knew, I was alone out here. "Um...Hello?" I said softly, turning around to see the person my eyes wide.

xxxxEmi was eating her favorite ramen — yes, a few days in Mahoutokoro and she already had a favorite food. She had decided not to wear the usual Mahoutokoro uniform because who said she couldn’t? But instead, she wore a pink shirt with her favorite jeans. She was about to sit in a nearby bench when she noticed a girl sitting in a picnic mat, sitting by a beautiful Sakura tree, eating soba, which looked really yummy. Emi thought she looked a little lonely, siting by herself and eating soba, and thought she needed a friend.

Hmm…? Oh she looks so lonely… ooh! Maybe I should be friends with her! She looks nice and approachable so why not?!

Emi walked over to the girl, while eating her yummy udon, and gently tapped the girl’s shoulder.

“Hello! I am Emi! Nice to meet you! What’s your name? And… is that soba?! It looks so yummy!” Emi said in Japanese, hoping that the girl understood Japanese. If not, it will be kinda awkward. She also hoped that she did not scare the girl as Emi was… well kinda loud.

But still, Emi was willing to be that girl’s friend, even if she was soft. She was determined not to be friendless, because to Emi, being friendless meant that it is the end of the world.
