Once upon a time - [ because she knows how to start this sort of thing ] - last year - [ ...sort of. ] - there was a little girl. ...Actually, there were two little girls! One of them had been in a magical world for a while. The other one just got there, when the story starts. Um...we'll call them a little nomad girl and a little pirate girl.
[ Because MYSTERIOUS!!! is important, not that it isn't blatantly obvious what she's talking about here. ]
The little nomad girl woke up near a fountain, when she got to the magical world. It was a really pretty fountain - in fact, it'd only get prettier later on 'cause they'd paint a mural around it a little after she got there, but that's not this story. In this story, she was playing in the water.
One of the people she met when she was playing was the little pirate girl. The little pirate girl had blue hair like the sky, and she asked the little nomad girl about how she bent the air, and the little nomad girl asked the little pirate girl about her world, too. They talked for a long time and played together and decided that even though neither of them had their families there - or, well, they had families, but the nomad girl didn't have her sister or her brothers or her parents, and the little pirate girl didn't have her father or her duck - they had families that were taking care of them. And they could be sisters!
[ Best sisters! Ikki's smile goes softer, but she keeps talking in the same animated fashion. ] They did a lot together. There was a birthday party at the beach, where they collected shells together, and other things that washed up. And a cake, made by another pirate, to celebrate knowing one another.
And there was another birthday party - not for either of them, but for a lady who grew oranges - with pinwheels, and paper flowers. [ she touches the orange-and-red paper flower in the box, with a grin ]
The little pirate girl made this flower for the other little girl, in red and orange because those were the colors she - I - always wore! This is a present from that time.
