Rose had been unpacking for a bit, not getting much done. But she did find a picture that she had held onto since he was younger. It was a picture of Rose dressed as a Princess standing in the tree house and Ash by the ladder looking up at her. Rose smiled as she sat on the floor, legs crossed Indian style as she continued to look at the picture that was in her hand.<br/><br/>As Rose looked at the picture, she remembered that day as if it were yesterday.<br/><br/>A six year old Rose smiled at herself in the mirror as she stood in a Princess dress her mother made her. It was a replica of Belle's yellow dress from Beauty and the Beast and it was perfect. "Rose! Ash is here!" Her mother called from downstairs. Rose excitedly jumped a bit in place and ran down the stairs, almost tripping over her own feet. She caught herself on the railing and steadied herself as she walked down the stairs to see Ash in her outfit that she called "armor" which consisted of a few metal pieces glued to her clothing. Rose smiled and hugged her friend, being careful that her dress didn't get caught on the metal pieces of armor. Rose took Ash's hand in hers and pulled her towards the sliding glass door that lead to the backyard.<br/><br/>Once Rose and Ash were outside they played around for a little bit. Rose stood in the tree house, a dreamy look on her face as she looked down to her friend who stood under her, looking up at her was a young Ash. The love in these girls eyes was undeniable, they loved each other as friends, but young Rose felt as if there was more to that love. After a while of playing around the girls ended up laying on the ground staring up at the sky, seeing what clouds looked like what animal or object. The girls giggled as they held hands, Ash turned on her side and propped her head up with her hand, elbow on the ground. "Hey Rose?" Rose turned her head and saw her friend looking at her. "Yeah Ash?" She responded.<br/>"We're gonna be friends forever right?" Ash asked, Rose didn't even hesitate when she answered. "Of course Ashy, best friends forever." The girls giggled and went back to holding hands laying on the grass.<br/><br/>--------<br/><br/>Rose sighed softly as she though back on that great day, hugging the picture to her chest until she felt eyes on her. When she heard a familiar voice, her eyes widened as she slowly stood and turned to see Ash standing in her doorway. Her eyes started to water a little bit as she saw her best friend. "Ash... It's... You..." Rose took a step forward before embracing her friend in a tight hug, some tears rushing down her face. "My Ashy! I've missed you so much!" She held her best friend in her arms for a long time before holding her at arms length looking her over.
