Okay, so this is a... three shot? While I'm gathering ideas for the sequal. But chill, I'm conversing with JustanEcho about... everything :/ lmao

So... it's kinda stupid, but enjoy and whatnot.

Taa taa~

"Come on sweetheart, lets go for a picnic."

I snapped my head up and looked at my grandfather, happy he was asking to do something with me.

This was one of the rare occasions that I get to see my grandma and granddad. They live in Japan, and though coming here was a treat itself, it was better to see my family.

"Okay!"

I scrambled up from the carpet, leaving the five hundred piece jigsaw I was half way through, and then skipped into the kitchen. I could feel my dress moving side to side, and my plaits were swinging as I skipped. I turned and saw granddad smiling at me, so I smiled back.

"Grandma, mum, can we go for a picnic, granddad wants to too!" I giggled, holding on tightly to my grandmas trouser leg.

"Sure thing." smiled mum, standing up to help make the food.

I ran off to get my doll, Lucy, and the adults started to get food ready and pack for our little outing. When I finally got Lucy, I ran back to the kitchen, but stopped at the door when I heard my grandma talking to my mum.

"So... Kath. How is she doing?" asked grandma, buttering bread.

"Saori? She's fine... she's dealing with it better than I thought she would have."

"Does she still sleep with the light on?"

"Yes... It's like she expects him to come home..."

"Poor thing."

Now, if you don't know, I am nine years old, quite adorable, and a very smart person, if I do say so myself. My father died recently, and though many children would have found it a difficult thing to come to terms with, I had to accept it.

It surprised many people how fast I seemed to recover from the shock. But I had always been different. Dad told me so himself.

I knew their conversation had ended, so I walked into the kitchen and caught my mums attention.

"Mum, where can we go?" I asked.

"We'll just go to the park."

When we got to the park, my mum and grandparents set up the blanket and food, while I ran around after a butterfly.

It was quite a pretty butterfly, with bright white wings, and dark blue specks all over.

I chased the butterfly for a while, until it flew too high and out of sight.

"Oh... Mum, did you see the butterfly? It went and I-"

I'd turned to look at mum, but saw no-one.

Saw that I was in a completely different part of the park.

I was lost.

"Mum?"

Oh no... oh no...

I ran back where I thought I'd come from, but there was no-one.

I was even more lost.

"Mum?"

I ran a bit more, and I found myself in a clearing. There were a lot of butterflies here, and though I was panicky about being lost, it did seem to be relaxing here.

I sat on the floor, and curled up into a ball.

I wanted my mum. I knew I was going to be in trouble when I got back for running off, but that was if I got back.

I felt tears down my face, and wiped my eyes, but couldn't help myself

x-x-x-x-x-x

"Takashi, where we going?"

The taller boy shrugged, and tugged his cousin after him. He was headed for his 'thinking spot'. Probably the only place he could go where his parents of little brat of a brother couldn't bother him.

He always got in trouble, but it was fairly well known within the families that between him and Mitsukuni, they could sort anyone out.

When they got closer to the clearing, they were surprised to hear small sobs.

"Takashi, what's that?"

"You mean, who's that?"

"Whatever."

"I dunno... come on."

The boys crept forward, and found themselves walking in on the scene of a lone little girl crying. The taller boy, Takashi, took a shocked little step back, and stood on a twig.

The snap resounded, and the girl snapped her head up, green eyes blazing.

"W-Who are you?"

x-x-x-x-x-x-

I was sat next to Takashi and Mitsukuni. They were talking to me, and Mitsukuni had even let me hug his rabbit teddy.

They were both eleven, and really nice, but that kind of didn't explain why they were here.

"Are you two lost too?" I asked, rubbing the last of the tears from my eyes and looking at them. Mitsukuni shook his head, and Takashi just hummed. They were being really quiet.

"Are you lost?" they both asked at the same time, making me giggle.

"Yeah... I was chasing a butterfly..."

Mitsukuni smiled and nodded, like he knew what I was talking about, and even Takashi's lip twitched up into a little grin.

"We need to help you find your mum." he then said, standing up, taking hold of my hand and helping me up too. He was... really tall.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

On the way back, we passed an ice cream stand, so they bought three strawberry ice creams, one for each of us. We then walked back to the pond where my mum was probably going mad.

They knew the park well, and it was fun to be shown around, and pretty soon we found my mum again.

"Saori!" she shouted, spotting me and walking over, crouching down to hug me. "Where the hell were you?"

I grinned up at her, and hugged her, explaining about the butterfly, and then I was lost, so I didn't know what to do. Then two boys came and helped me find my way back.

"Which boys?"

"Takashi and Mitsukuni... they were right-"

I'd turned to find them, but they'd gone...

"here..."

I stared off for a minute, but didn't see them, and decided to forget it when grandma called me over for some sandwiches.

I might see them again some time... maybe.
