his friend

I wish I could make a new friend today. She blew the dandelion. He said that if he wasn't there to make her wish come true, all she had to do was find a dandelion, make a wish and blow all the fluff away. Fluff, that's probably not what its called but he didn't want to look stupid in front of her, she thought. Where have you gone? I need someone here to make my wish come true, not have fluff make miracles happen. Where are you? 

As she watched the fluff dance with the wind, rain started to fall. She grabbed her bag off the ground and began running. If she had stopped to look at the nearby farmer's market, she would've been able to shelter under one of the tents. But she kept running in the direction of her wish. Stopping in front of lonely spot on the ground with soaked white fluffs, she started to cry. They have not traveled far enough to reach him, to tell him to come back and help her grant her wish. Stupid dandelions..

Rain didn't seem to have a sense of time and she didn't seem to have any either. But the rain finally stopped. Bending down, she tried to pick up what remained, but only touched the cold and lonely cement ground. Please. Please come back. Even if you don't know where to find me, are you searching? 

Without any awareness of her surroundings, a cat came and began to lick her hand. A grey cat with remnants of orange, it looked almost like her: cold, lonely and wet. The cat looked up at her and used his head to brush against her hand. The girl scratched the cat's ears. He made a face of what seemed like a smile. Sitting down on the wet fluffs, he looked up at her. Laughing, the girl picked him up. Thank you for finding me.
