Under the old tree


                                            >"Come on Anon! The sun is only up for so long ya know!"

                                            "I'm comin, I'm comin."

                                            >Who are you?

                                            >Anon, that's who!

                                            >Well, that's sort of the name you gave to the girls you've hung out with for quite some time.

                                            >Adagio, Aria, and Sonata.

                                            >Three sweet girls they deserved more than they got in their life.

                                            >You've decided they've waited long enough though.

                                            >You hefted up the basket you had in your hand and marched your way to where the girls had planted themselves.

                                            >Same tree they always go under to relax and have a picnic with you.

                                            >Why they picked you to be the one they would have fun with, you had no idea.

                                            >Still, you never complained.

                                            >Sonata, the blue ponytail girl who had a smile so bright it could put the sun to shame, waved at you frantically as to hurry you up.

                                            >Aria, the quiet purple twin-tail girl who could always cheer you three up in her own special way, showed a small smile as your approached and leaned against the tree.

                                            >She always left a small spot for you in the same place between her and Sonata.

                                            >And then there's Adagio.

                                            >The shortest of the girls with a short temper at times.

                                            >Her puffy Cheeto like hair didn't help her much.

                                            >Still, she was always confident in the things she did and stood up for her sisters.

                                            >Adagio gave you her beautiful smirk as she finished laying down the things for the picnic, blanket and such.

                                            >"Took your sweet time Anon."

                                            "Heh, sorry. Traffic was terrible."

                                            >Sonata giggled as Aria rolled her eyes.

                                            >You took one more look around.

                                            >The tree stood proudly over you all, the shade letting you all relax while also keeping the view of the city as the sun shined on it.

                                            >The streets, cars, buildings always took your breath away at how they suddenly change with the light.

                                            >You decided that was enough time stalling and sat in your designated spot.

                                            >Sonata took her spot as you placed the picnic basket down and started to take out the items.

                                            "You girls want your sandwiches?"

                                            >All three of them shook their heads before Adagio said anything,"We're not all that hungry at the moment. You enjoy yourself."

                                            >You sighed before taking out your sandwich and water. They've always been like that. Though the smile you felt on your face showed, if anything, that you didn't dislike that part of them.

                                            >A conversation picked up between the four of you. Your day to day life. Work. The people you've met since you last saw the girls.

                                            >Everything was nice.

                                            >After some time, you all just basked in the sight that the sun gave you. The wind brushing against you softly as Aria and Sonata laid against you.

                                            >All three of them were beautiful.

                                            >But you never picked up a relationship.

                                            >They were all sisters so it felt a bit weird to think of any of them separately as a lover.

                                            >Despite that though, you loved them all.

                                            >You showed them a lot of affection in forms of many things.

                                            >Hugs.Smiles. Cheering them on. Pushing them to do things they loved. Accepting every part of them they didn't like about themselves. Never leaving their side at times they needed someone. And at times they didn't think they needed anyone.

                                            >And they returned it tenfold. None of them fussed over you like some weird love triangle.Square?Whatever.

                                            >They loved you just as much as they loved each other and as you had for them.

                                            >Of course, things don't always start off on the right track.

                                            >You remember the first thing each of them had said to you.

                                            >"I really like how green you are!"

                                            >"As long as you don't do anything to my sisters, it's nice to meet you."

                                            >"Shut your trap."

                                            >You chuckled to yourself and patted both girls heads.

                                            >Adagio decided to scoot in front of you and coughed lightly.

                                            >You rolled your eyes and decided to rotate on the head pats.

                                            >The day went on so well.

                                            >Honestly it's been so long since you've felt this contempt.

                                            >You closed your eyes for a second.

                                            >Something you wish you hadn't done the next as a crash could be heard somewhere in the distance.

                                            >You jolted up and looked around.

                                            >The girls didn't seem to be bothered by your sudden awakening as they were sound asleep themselves.

                                            >You turned your head a bit more to see smoke coming up somewhere in the city.

                                            >You breathing turned ragged as you looked at the ground frantically for the basket.

                                            >Finding the woven box, you open it and find the bottle you wanted.

                                            >Bringing the bottle up to you, hands shaking, you opened the top and brought it up to take a swig.

                                            >Before it could make contact with your lips, three hands wrapped themselves softly around yours.

                                            >You looked to see the girls each giving you a sad expression.

                                            >"Please don't do it, Nonny." Sonata said, her voice losing its happy luster.

                                            >You looked at the three of them and back at the bottle.

                                            "Please. I need this."

                                            >Adagio shook her head, "You don't need this Anon. You have to quit."

                                            "WHY?!"

                                            >Despite my sudden outburst, they all calmly replied.

                                            >"You're killing yourself, Anon."

                                            >"You're losing yourself, Anon."

                                            >"You're not yourself, Anon."

                                            >Your hand shook a little more before you sighed and put the cap back on and slowly put it back in the basket with the girls help.

                                            >They all gave you a smile before resting on you again.

                                            >You missed this feeling.

                                            >You wish it was real.

                                            >But it wasn't.

                                            >"Don't be sad, Nonny."

                                            >Tears started to fall from your face as it took everything in you to not completely break down.

                                            "I-I...I miss you all so much. Please don't leave me again. Please."

                                            >Strangely, the warmth they gave you was feeling slightly warmer.

                                            >"We never left you silly."

                                            >"We'll always be there for you, idiot."

                                            >"Even if you can't see us, we'll watch over you Anon. We love you."

                                            >Silence hung over you all. You whipped your eyes before smiling.

                                            "I love you all too."

                                            >There was nothing after that. you looked down to see several flowers of different colors residing around you under the tree.

                                            >You sighed and got to packing everything up.

                                            >You turned to look at the tree one more time, the wind swaying the blue flower as an old question and smartass reply came back to your mind.

                                            >"You never did tell us your real name Anon."

                                            "I guess not huh?"

                                            >You turned back towards the flowers with a smile.

                                            "Nice to meet you girls, my name is..."
