Growing
Epilogue

"Mama! MAMA!" a 13 year old girl shouted from the top stair of her house. The girl was almost the spitting image of her mother. She had all natural, beautiful dusk colored hair that seemed to be highlighted with brown streaks. Her eyes were a striking cobalt blue. Her haircut was similar to her mother's with it parted to the side and angled slightly. Her hair was beneath her chin and hung gracefully past her shoulders.

"What is it?" the girl's mother shouted.

"I need to go to the attic to get stuff on my project!" the young girl replied as she stomped down the stairs, "You said we'd do it yesterday, but we didn't do it!"

"I'm sorry sweetheart, but I was busy yesterday. I'm almost done making lunch. You know we have guests coming over! How about after dinner we'll do it and if not we'll do it after the guests leave okay?" the girl's mother suggested sweetly.

"So who are the guests coming?" the young girl asked.

"Well you're friend Ai and Haru are sure to come," the mother explained.

"Okay. Well you promise you'll do it today?" the young girl pleaded.

"Oh Chigiri, when was the last time I broke a promise?" the girl's mother assured.

"Oh alright…" the young girl known as Chigiri agreed as she sat down in her chair and slumped back, "This is totally unfair though. Spring break and Mrs. Oniwa assigns us this huge project about our parents. How totally stupid is that? You know I could totally care less if I fail!"

Chigiri's mother giggled and smiled at how similar she was to her father. They both had a strong hatred against Mrs. Oniwa.

"Okay can I ask you questions while we're eating though? Please? It's this sheet I have to fill out," Chigiri explained.

"Hmm…well the rice is still cooking so…sure," Chigiri's mother agreed as she wiped her hands on her apron.

"Okay…what's your name?" Chigiri asked as she began the interview.

"Chigiri! You know THAT!" she scolded.

"Aww, but mom. It's part of the interview just answer it, oh and I need your full name, which includes your maiden name," Chigiri demanded.

Chigiri's mother sighed and roller her eyes, "Okay my name is Kairi Hana Hikari. Happy sweetheart?" Chigiri's mother, or better known as Kairi answered.

"What's your birthday?" Chigiri asked.

"This is quite pointless dear, you already know all this informa—" Kairi was soon cut off by her daughter.

"Maaaaaaaaa," Chigiri whined, "Just answer them."

"Oh fine. I was born the same day as your father June 25th. Oh, but I'm actually an hour earlier than him," Kairi added.

"Ewww…so you're older?" Chigiri stuck her tongue out and made a disgusted face. Kairi just laughed and rolled her eyes at how immature her daughter could be.

"Sweetheart it's not like I'm twice his age. We're in the same grade and we're born the same day. Don't have a cow," Kairi teased.

"I wasn't having a cow Ma," Chigiri insisted, "Anyway where were you born?"

"Right here. Destiny Hospital and on this island, in this town," Kairi answered.

"What school did you go to and what grades did you get?" Chigiri asked.

"Well, let's see…I went to the same elementary, middle, and high school you are going to, but I did get very good grades. I was always top of my class, although I can't say the same for your father," Kairi laughed.

"Did he fail? He always yells at me if I get below an 85! Oh my Gosh! He is such a hypocrite!" Chigiri squealed as she realized she had blackmail against her own father.

"He's got good reason to make sure you don't get below an 85," Kairi lectured.

"Where is Dad anyway?" Chigiri asked.

"He said he was showing his latest story to his editor. Having a job as a novelist is quite time consuming, but at least he's mostly at home," Kairi explained.

"Okay back to the interview…" Chigiri muttered, "What's your job? Why'd you choose it?"

"Teacher. I love working with children and I always wanted a nice steady job. Plus I get to see my favorite daughter," Kairi teased.

"Ma! I'm your only daughter!" Chigiri retorted. "Ma! Your soup is boiling way too much!" Chigiri yelled as she pointed behind Kairi to the pot overflowing with bubbles and steam coming out of it.

"Oh dear!" Kairi shouted as she ran over to the stove and turned it off quickly. She lifted the lid of the pot and it cooled down abruptly. "Anyway back to the interview. Whew."

Kairi stared at her daughter, but she just seemed to be in deep thought. The clipboard where her interview questions were, which was usually angled upward so she could write on it, was now on her lap. Her pencil, which was supposed to be in her fingers was now on the table.

"Chigiri?" Kairi called.

"Hey Ma…this isn't part of the interview, but I just have a question…well 2 questions," Chigiri explained.

"All right…I'll answer—" Kairi was soon cut off once again as the door opened loudly and she flinched. A man with spiky brown hair and cobalt eyes rushed through the door. He was wearing an expensive suit with a suitcase in one arm and a letter in the other.

"Oh my Gosh! You scared me!" Kairi screamed.

The man ran over to his wife and picked her up, "The book's going to be published! My second book's published! The guy said it'd be a hit just like my first one! Kai I can't believe it!" the man exclaimed proudly.

"Oh Sora! We're so proud of you!" Kairi cheered as she leaned forward and kissed her husband on the lips.

"MOTHER! NOT IN FRONT OF ME!" Chigiri shrieked as she put her hands over her eyes.

"Oh you're such a fun sucker," the man, known as Sora teased.

"I am so not the fun sucker Daddy. You are the fun sucker," Chigiri teased back.

"Well how about I make it up to you by treating you to your favorite ice cream place later? Huh? HUH?" Sora asked.

"Well…hmm…I guess you're not THAT bad of a fun sucker. Deal," Chigiri agreed.

"Ha! Knew I wasn't. Come on kiddo. You better get ready. Guests are coming over soon," Sora insisted as he rubbed her daughter's hair and ruined a bit of her hair.

"I'm doing an interview Daddy. Do you mind?" Chigiri retorted.

"Oh my apologies! Interviewer Chigiri Hikari is busy at work! Everyone SILENCE!" Sora shouted as he walked upstairs to change into something casual. He laughed while he walked upstairs.

"Daddy is so silly," Chigiri mumbled, but continued with her questions, "Anyway…about my questions…"

"Yes what is it?" Kairi encouraged.

"Why'd you name me Chigiri?" Chigiri wondered, "I mean I'm not saying I hate the name, but I always wondered why you gave me such a different name."

"Chigiri is not a different name!" Kairi insisted.

"I know, I know, but why?" Chigiri questioned.

"Well…Chigiri means destiny and promise. In a way you were like a promise that your father and I would always stay together no matter what and we'd always love each other. Well actually we already made that promise, but we just reinforced it. We also promised we'd always be there for you and raise you with our best because we loved you. And well the destiny kind of signifies that your father and I were meant to be together. Get it?" Kairi explained.

"Aww that's kind of romantic. Too bad you guys are actually my parents. If you guys weren't then I'd actually think of it that way…" Chigiri commented as Kairi pouted.

"What was your second question?" Kairi questioned.

"Oh…it was just on how you met dad and you know how you guys started dating," Chigiri asked.

"Well…your father and I knew each other since we were born--" Kairi informed, but was cut off yet again.

"DING! DONG!" the doorbell rang loudly.

"What is up with today? I just can't finish my sentences!" Kairi pointed out. "SORA! Our guests have arrived!" Kairi ran to the door with her apron on. She opened the door and there are the door step was…

Roxas and Namine. They had been married for longer than Sora and Kairi had, but they were still in love. Of course their two children had joined them for lunch today. Ai their oldest daughter, was 17 years old. She was practically the spitting image of her mother. The only difference was she had the same hair color as her father and she skateboarded just like her father and her brother, Haru. Haru's name was pretty self-explanatory. His name meant 'born in the spring' and he was in fact born in the spring. Haru was 13 years old just like Chigiri.

"Namine!" Kairi squealed as she hugged her best friend tightly. "Roxas!" Kairi smiled as she hugged Roxas as well. "How have you two been?"

"Oh we've been fine Kairi. These two have been a big bundle of joy," Roxas replied sarcastically, but in a teasing manner.

"Haru, Ai, why don't you go talk with Chigiri?" Namine insisted, "Go on."

"All right!" Haru exclaimed as he walked toward the kitchen where Chigiri was. Ai soon followed behind.

"Roxas! How's it going there man?" Sora greeted as he jumped down the stairs.

"Pretty awesome," Roxas answered as he and Sora shook hands and then hugged.

"Namine! How're the kids?" Sora asked kindly as he hugged Namine briefly.

"They're fine. A little bit adventurous, but fine," Namine replied as she smiled at Roxas.

"That's grea—"

"DING! DONG!" the doorbell rang once again cutting Kairi off. Kairi sighed and giggled.

"It's okay sweetheart. Maybe you were just meant to not talk," Sora teased as he poked her in the stomach.

"Oh and you are?" Kairi retorted back.

"Maybe…anyway. Just lead Roxas and Namine to the living room," Sora asked.

"Sure honey," Kairi obeyed as she lead Roxas and Namine toward the main living room.

Sora opened the door and right on the other side of the door was…

"RIKU!" Sora shouted, "Long time no talk buddy! Now the gang's back!"

"Hey Sora. How's the hometown been?" Riku asked, "Oh and the writing job? I read your book. It was crazy good."

"Of course it was. You can't expect less than the best from Sora can you?" Sora jested as the 2 long time friends walked toward the living room, "How's the other side of the island been?"

"Floods aren't as bad. They've got one hell of a draining system," Riku replied.

"So how'd you get here without getting ripped apart?" Sora questioned casually, "I mean as a job as a famous actor you'd think 'The Riku' wouldn't even make it across the street in one piece let alone the island," Sora laughed.

"Well I pulled a few strings, plus I can't miss this reunion. We've been best friends for what? 14 years?" Riku replied as he counted the years on his fingers.

"Well for Kairi and I it's longer, and for Roxas and Namine it's longer, but starting from our friendship as a group I'd have to say 20 years," Sora answered for him as he did the math in his head.

"My…my…my…have we grown," Riku muttered to himself as both Sora and Riku walked into the room.

"RIKU!" Kairi and Namine squealed as they both ran and gave him a hug.

"Guys! Guys! I already have enough fan girls as it is," Riku teased.

"Oh I see the fames really gotten to your even bigger head," Kairi retorted back and started laughing along with Namine, "How's it going with your girlfriend by the way?"

"Perfect. I was even planning a proposal next week. I'm so nervous. Man how'd you do it?" Riku questioned as he looked over to Roxas and Sora who were sitting on two different couches just chatting.

"Well I hired a fake look-a-like to do it for me. That's the way to go," Sora answered sarcastically.

"That better have been sarcastic Sora because I just accepted a Sora-look-alike's proposal and that's not a good thing," Kairi snapped.

"Well when Roxas proposed to me he took me to this fancy restaurant that I've always wanted to go to, but you have to book like months in advance. He actually booked it and paid for everything. My dream was to sing at the restaurant's huge stage. It was amazing," Namine responded in a daze as she remembered the moment.

"Well when Sora proposed to me it was more simple, but just as important. He took me the cave where we used to always hang out when we were younger. There were scribbles all over the cave and there was this one with Sora and I, which we drew when we were like 4. Then he added a paopu fruit to it and I noticed it and gasped. He then proposed to me right then and there," Kairi smiled.

"Wow. I didn't know Roxas and Sora were such suckers for the whole romance thing," Riku commented with a smirk on his face.

"Well look how far we got with it," Sora retorted returning Riku's smirk.

"AHHH!" a shout erupted from upstairs as swift steps were heard down the stairs, "HARU! YOU CAN'T TOUCH THAT!" Chigiri yelped as she dashed passed the living room.

Roxas gave Sora a strange look, but Sora just shrugged.

"Kids," Riku muttered.

"If you ask me that kind of reminds me of 2 people…" Kairi trailed off.

"And that would be…?" Namine wondered as she stared at Kairi with a curious glance. Suddenly it clicked in Namine's mind and she started laughing hysterically, "Then…haha…we'd be…haha RELATED!" Kairi's eyes went wide as she realized Namine figured out what she was talking about and Kairi too started to laugh hysterically. The 3 adult men in the house just stared at each other and shrugged.

"Women…" Riku mumbled once again.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Namine and Kairi snapped as they're moods switched from giggly to looks that could kill. Riku just shuddered.

"What was all that laughing about?" Roxas asked.

"Well, Kairi thought that Haru and Chigiri reminded her of Sora and herself. So that's why I started laughing and saying that Kairi and I would be related because well you know…" Namine trailed off and allowed them to figure out the blank spaces.

"HEY! My little girl is not getting married without my consent!" Sora exclaimed protectively.

"DING!" the rice cooker bell rang.

"Oh! Lunch is ready! Come on! Let's eat!" Kairi hurried as she shooed everyone into the dining room, "HARU! AI! CHIGIRI! LUNCH TIME!"

The 3 teenagers ran to the dining room to eat.

Dinner was quite chatty. Everyone had something to say about their lives and how they've been. Not only that, but they described current events, trends, and even gossip. It was as if they were all back in high school again except now they had children and were more mature. Everything had changed, yet somehow the feeling was still the same.

"Mama! You promised me we'd go to the attic!" Chigiri insisted as Roxas, Namine, and Riku were preparing to leave.

"Of course. After they leave," Kairi replied. Soon the rest of the gang left with lots of hugs and kisses on cheeks.

"Oh I just love having the gang back together. It brings back so many good memories. I loved our childhood," Kairi sighed happily and looked at Sora who smiled back at her.

"Maaaaaaaaaaaa," Chigiri whined once again except this time she was at the top of the stairs right under the attic.

"I heard Chigiri," Kairi called as she climbed the steps two at a time.

"Ma you still have your apron on," Chigiri pointed out as Kairi reached the last step and was near the stairs to the attic.

"Oh." Kairi untied the apron and put it on the stair railing. She then pulled a rope and the stairs to the attic began to unfold. "Now watch out the stairs are shaky so if you feel like something might fall you just run back down the steps," Kairi commanded as she took the lead and walked up to the attic followed by Chigiri.

The attic was dusty and dim. Kairi coughed a couple of times and turned on the lights. There were plenty of boxes in the attic stacked one on top of another.

"So where do we begin?" Kairi asked as she pulled a box closer to her.

"Well I just want to find information about you that's all. You get the boxes and I'll look through them for my parent project," Chigiri demanded.

"All right. Let's begin," Kairi stated as she pulled out a second box carefully. Chigiri observed her mother and noticed she swiftly pulled something out of the box, but she couldn't see. Chigiri decided to ignore it and started opening the first box and what she saw amazed her. It was a dusty and yellowish paper that was brittle, but it was at least 30 pages thick. She blew the dust out of the 30 page…whatever it was…and read the title…

"Gr—grow—ing…" was all she managed to speak out loud, but even so Kairi's memory clicked and she couldn't help, but smile.

"What's that you got there?" Kairi questioned her daughter as she walked next to her and leaned forward.

"A story by…" Chigiri trailed off.

"Sora Hikari," Kairi finished.

Chigiri gave Kairi a weird look, "How do you kn--?"

"I helped Sora write that story. Well I didn't really help him, but that was the first story your dad ever wrote and if I may say it was one of his best. It was actually dedicated to me. It was a love story he wrote when he was about 16 and that's where his love for writing began," Kairi explained as she grabbed the paper out of her daughter's hand and read the story.

"What is it about?" Chigiri asked.

"Well…it's about 2 best friends named TK and Kari and they're in love with each other, but their parents don't approve of them being best friends let alone lovers so the story takes off from their. It was originally a sad twisted story, but I think your father changed it…let's read the part where he should've changed it…" Kairi skimmed through the pages and grinned as she found the exact page, "AHA! Here read this."

Chigiri gave her mother a strange look, but obeyed and read the story from where she was supposed to.

What the hell was I doing here?

It was a night before her wedding night and I knew she'd be alone at the house since it was bad luck for the groom to see the wife a day before the wedding, but why was I here? Did I have a right to be here?

Probably not, but my heart had a right to be here. A darn good right.

I stepped on the front step and attempted to knock the door, but as soon as my knuckles came about half a centimeter near the door I pulled away. I'm getting wet from the rain I have to knock it's a logical reason to knock! Actually it's not.

What was wrong with me? I had mustered up the courage to get to the door now all I had to do was a simple knock and I couldn't even do that? Boy was I coward…

And not only a coward, but a coward going straight to tell at this rate. I was attempting to practically crash a wedding…well not literally, but it was still wrong to just go up to her and tell her I loved her and that I wished I could marry her. That was completely wrong. What if she liked her soon to be husband Davis? Huh? Then what am I going to look like? A complete fool that's what. I'm going to--

Suddenly the door opened and there she was standing in front of me. Kari Kamiya was looking at me with wide eyes. Her hair was a bit messed up and she was rubbing her eyes. She looked like she was almost going to fall asleep, but if you ask me she looked stunning.

"TK? What are you doing here?" Kari asked worriedly.

"I—I…" Gosh I'm doing a great job telling her I love her.

"Come in," Kari insisted as she opened the door wider and allowed me to come in. I froze at first not knowing if I should just make a dash for it, but I figured it was too late anyway so I walked in. "Do you want some tea?" She asked as she cut off my train of thoughts. All I could do was nod as she walked to the kitchen to get tea. I saw her silk robe flutter behind her like she was an angel…

Wait scratch that. She is an angel.

"TK what are you doing here?" Kari repeated her question as she stared at me curiously. I was sopping wet and I probably looked psychotic or crazy. I refused to look at her eyes and instead found a really pretty vase…really it was gorgeous. It had this intricate design and…

She moved into my direction of vision and I tried to turn away, but she grabbed my face so I had to look at her.

Just great…now she can practically read me like an open book, but then again so could I.

Her eyes showed love and compassion and my eyes reflected the same thing. Did she look at her husband the same way she looked at me? Why does she even bother listening to her good-for-nothing-parents. They're going to screw up her life.

I need her. I love her. So why can't we be happy together?

That's it. I can't ruin her life. So I did the only logical thing in this crazy situation. I got up and walked out the door. She was chasing after me calling my name and saying things, but I wasn't paying attention. By the time I reached the door and was about to leave the house she had grabbed my arm.

"TK…I'm worried…please? Just talk to me," Kari pleaded and god I couldn't resist. It's so hard when she pouts at you and her voice quavers like that. It's hard to make Kari upset because it bites at your conscience you know?

"I can't…" I croaked. It was all I could say as I turned away from her and continue to walk out the door in the pouring rain. Her hand was still firmly wrapped around mine and she too was dragged outside and her clothes clung to her figure.

"TK…I need to know…" Kari begged once again as she turned me around and wrapped her arms around my waist, but still didn't look at her.

"We had something didn't we?" I shouted through the pouring rain, hoping she might hear me. She looked shocked as I abruptly looked at her with a cold gaze. She pulled away slowly and looked down. "Didn't we?"

"…yes…" Kari whispered, but even though it was raining hard, I could still read her lips.

"There was something there…so why isn't it gone?" I begged, "Why is it still here?"

"What do you mean?" Kari questioned nervously.

"Don't tell me you don't feel anything," And the next thing you know I'm liplocking with Kari in the rain and we're kissing like we're already married.

And she didn't even pull away. There had to be something there because I could feel my body electrocute and jump. Even though it was raining…as it cliché as it sounds…I was still warm. Suddenly I pulled away. I needed to know. I needed to read her eyes and see if she felt something.

"You feel it too," I announced as I read her eyes. "It's still there. Why?"

"I--…" Kari stammered.

"Why isn't it gone? Why can't we just be happy together! I thought it would die away Kar, but it GREW. It's growing. And it hurts. JESUS!" I yelled as I screamed at the sky.

"I love you," Kari yelled through the rain and this time she didn't stammer.

"But you're marrying him," I pointed out with bitterness in my voice, "How can you look at him knowing you love another? You're hurting yourself, me, and even him."

"I…" Kari stammered once again.

"Goddamn it Kari! Just throw the rulebook out the window for once. Just for once screw your stupid parents and do what you want!" I shouted.

And the next thing I know she's kissing me like crazy and I'm definitely not one to pass a kiss from Kari Kamiya.

Then she pulls away and grabs my arm and drags me inside the house.

"Kari! Kari! What are you doing?" I shout, but she doesn't respond. Instead she goes toward the phone and picks it up and dials a number. "KARI!" I shout, but she shuts me up and kisses me once again and I can't talk. She pulls away again and talks into the phone.

"Yes. Hi mom it's Kari. I want to tell you something. The wedding's off," Kari demanded as she hung up the phone. "What were you saying?"

And then suddenly that spark in my heart…yeah it was there again.

"I must say TK I think I grew in love with you a lot as well," Kari smiled and I could've sworn I heard her heart beating the same time as mine.

Maybe our hearts did grow together.

End of excerpt.

"Oh my gosh mom! That was so cute! He wrote that and dedicated it to you?" Chigiri squealed as she held the story close to her heart, "I want to read the whole thing from the beginning to the end!"

"I'm glad you do. Now let's keep searching," Kairi commanded, but Chigiri reached out a hand and stopped her.

"I think this is enough actually," Chigiri stated as she climbed down the steps. Kairi followed her bewildered. When she reached the bottom of the step she closed the attic.

They walked down the steps in silence for a few seconds, but Chigiri stopped and looked at Kairi, "Ma…who was your first love? I won't tell dad I swear."

"What?" Kairi asked bewildered.

"I want to know who you first fell in love with…you know before dad?" Chigiri continued.

Kairi just laughed and described him, "Well let's see…he has cobalt eyes, dark brown crazy hair, he's a novelist, a great man who knows to have fun, and he's sitting downstairs on the couch probably listening to some rock song from the 90's."

"You mean…?" Chigiri gaped.

"Your dad was my first love," Kairi answered and then added, "And my only love. Sora Hikari."

"ARE YOU GUYS BACK TALKING ME AGAIN?" Sora yelled from the living room in a teasing manner.

"Of course Sora," Kairi yelled, "Oh my gosh it's 10:30! You should go to bed Chigiri."

"What kind of girl goes to bed at 10:30 on spring break?" Chigiri questioned as she raised her eyebrows.

"You do. And you can read your story too so technically you'd be sleeping until 11 so let's go. Dinner took longer than I thought," Kairi commented as she went downstairs to visit Sora.

Kairi dashed down the stairs and went to the living room to where Sora was. She leaned forward and kissed him lovingly.

"Now what was that for?" Sora asked completely confused.

"Chigiri found our story. You know? Growing?" Kairi replied with a grin on her face.

"Did she find oathkeeper?" Sora questioned as he patted a spot on the sofa for Kairi to sit on, but Kairi shook her head and decided to sit on Sora's lap.

"Actually no…I found it first," Kairi pointed out as she let the keychain dangle from her finger. "It's still kept its promise huh?"

"Of course. It was a 100 bucks it better keep it's promise!" Sora exclaimed as he picked up Kairi bridal style and walked toward their bedroom, "And you know Kairi…" Sora said as he walked up the stairs and they neared their bedroom.

"What?" Kairi asked while she giggled lightly.

"I think our love is still growing," Sora stated as they reached their room and he dropped her on the bed. "It's like falling in love again when I wake up and see your face right next to me."

"So your saying when we're 80 we'll be at the peak of our lovelife? That's kind of sad isn't it?" Kairi teased, "Usually the best part of a marriage is at the beginning—"

"Kaiiiiiiii," Sora whined using Kairi's nickname, "You know what I mean…"

"Of course I do. Our love was always growing and I never doubted it," Kairi smiled sweetly at Sora and kissed him.

"But…I think it's time we passed this thing on…it's already done wonders for us," Sora stated.

"What do you mean?" Kairi asked confused.

"We know our love will last forever and grow right?" Sora started.

"Yes and…?" Kairi encouraged.

"I want Chigiri to have this," Sora whispered as he grabbed the oathkeeper from Kairi's hand.

"Oh Sora that's so sweet!" Kairi exclaimed, "Let's give it to her now!" Kairi grabbed Sora's arm and knocked on Chigiri's door, but there was no response instead they heard heavy breathing, which meant that Chigiri had already fallen asleep.

"Maybe we should—" Sora muttered.

"Nonsense!" Kairi whispered as she opened the door and placed oathkeeper near Chigiri's bed on her table. Both parents kissed their daughter goodnight and exited the room. They returned to their room with big smiles on their faces.

"You think we did a good thing?" Sora asked.

"The best…because our destiny is sealed…" Kairi explained.

"Huh?" Now it was Sora's turn to be confused.

"Our friendship has grown, our love has grown to its fullest and nothing can pull us apart now," Kairi whispered as she hugged Sora.

"I get it…" Sora replied back huskily. "Chigiri's love story…now that's a story in the making."

"Remember what we said that day I found out I failed Mrs. Oniwa's essay?" Sora asked.

"That our love can only grow?" Kairi questioned.

"Yeah. I meant it and I knew it," Sora stated with confidence, "We're so perfect for each other because we grow together, not apart."

Kairi smiled and kissed Sora on the cheek.

"You know for once Sora…you actually make sense. I know plenty of couples that grow apart and they divorce, but we've grown together," Kairi reinforced.

And no matter what they'd grow together through the thick and the thin. Growing was all part of life.
