The Forever Kind

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh.
'Pooh!' he whispered.
'Yes Piglet?'
'Nothing,' said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. 'I just wanted to be sure of you.'"

The smiling faces, the laughing souls, the three stand isolated from the others. Each one slightly different. One redhead, two brunettes. Two with glasses, one without. Personal appearances don't separate these three from the others. It is their obvious joy in saying "Remember when..." and the seemingly hilarious (and no doubt slightly embarrassing) story that follows. Not one tells the tale, but they reminisce together.
The slumber parties and junk food and silly videos made fill their minds. As they laugh, their thoughts are taken to last September where pillow fights and ridiculous dancing lead to working together on school projects.
They stand up for each other, a bond like no other, a sisterhood unbreakable.

Call them whatever is preferred-forever friends, peculiar treasures, true friends, sisters for life, whatever the term, they are best friends forever.
