A small twilight girl sat by herself, playing in the river of darkness. She smiled and lifted her robe, the girl about 7, and waded inside. The dark water cooled her feet, and she smiled while splashing around. The girl giggled happily, content with playing herself. The girl had tried to make friends with the other tribe members, they just didn't like her.

The twili's hair had been braided up into an intricate design. The girl smiled as it stayed when shaking her head. Her mother had sat her down with shaky hands, braiding it as the girl sat perfectly still. If she squirmed her mother would pull and it would hurt.

The small girl giggled again and sat in the water, her robes soaking. The sound of tapping feet upon the metallic ground caused her to turn. The small girl's sharp eyes darted to the intruder. There stood a boy slightly older than her. He stood watching her with big eyes. "Water." He mumbled and carefully padded over to the rivers edge. The boy took off his footwear and set it down before slipping off his own robe. All that was left were his trousers.

The girl watched the boy carefully, weary he'd attack. The boy glared at the girl. "Wimp, won't even go into the deep end." He said wading in. "That's why girls suck." He boasted. The girl glared as the boy went into the river, swimming into the deep end. For a moment she watched him. "Wish I could do that." She mumbled softly, the boy turned. "Well why don't you?" The girl frowned. "Can't swim." The boy began to laugh. "You suck! Can't even swim."

In a fit of rage the girl grabbed his clothes and threw them into the river. "No! You suck!" She said and ran away hearing the boy shout angrily.

The next day the girl returned to the river crying softly. Her daddy had hit her again. He wanted her to use magic but she couldn't muster it. Well, the girl had mustered magic but all it did was squeak. She sighed and wiped her tears, staring into the river. "Why're you sad?" The girl turned to see the boy again, this time in different clothes.

"This is my river, go away!" The girl said angrily. The boy seemed to smile, with that slit mouth of his it was hard to see. "You're a baby!" The girl glared. "No I'm not." The boy smiled and ran over to her. "You're a baby!" He sang as the girl stood. "Am not!" He giggled as she huffed. "You're better, so you're not a baby." The boy suddenly noticed blood seeping through her cloak. "Who hurt ya?" He asked reaching for it. "No one! I tripped." The girl said turning away. The boy shrugged and grabbed her cloak. "Lemme help." He mumbled quietly.

"No!" The girl screamed as he pulled down her robe enough to see her shoulder. "Shut up and stay still." The girl pouted as the boy cast a spell. The girl watched with wide eyes as he effortlessly healed her wound. "Woah! Teach me!" She said grabbing his robe. The boy shook his head giggling. "Nope!" The girl pouted before smiling. "I'll be your best friend!" The boy thought and then beamed. "Deal!"

After weeks of teaching the girl how to control the little magic she had, the two had become good friends. One particular day the boy had come wearing some fancier clothing and carrying a robe. The girl stood there awaiting her friend. The boy looked at the girl with his chest puffed out. "You're gonna marry me!" He announced throwing her the robe. The girl looked at it and blinked. "What? No I'm not." The boy pouted. "Yeah! And you'll be the queen." The girl giggled. "No! I can't be." The boy frowned. "Why not?" The girl beamed. "Because we're best friends." The boy glared and crossed his arms. "No! I wanna marry you, you gotta be my wife!" The boy said sternly.

The girl crossed her arms. "No." She said simply. "You gotta bring me a flower first." The boy's mouth gaped open. "But there are no flowers here!" The girl smirked. "Then I guess you aren't marrying me." The boy looked at the robe the girl carried, obviously too big for her. "Well, keep that. I don't need it." The girl looked at the robe with wide eyes. "Woah." She whispered and hugged the boy. "Thank you!" The boy hugged back giggling.
