Do you remember the time you made your first friend ever? I do. And I made two. I mean my first person friend, of course. You are already aware of the fairies.

I was in fact talking to the fairies when it happened.
I was three years old.
First year of school (as unpleaseant as kindergarden, which was not that bad, actually, school only got real bad after I was twelve, before it was just boring) so I was sitting at the school iron bridge where kids used to play.

Funny spiral: there were three iron structures for playing, but each year a kid would fall from one of them and they'd remove them until one year there was nowhere to climb no more. But safety, right?

Back to the yet not-erased iron bar bridge. I was there sitting and talking with a fairy when the cutest little sisters appeared. They were holding hands and, I don't really recall which of them, but they just came by, held their hand up and said. "Do you want to be our friend?"

I remember I felt weird for a second. Nerves, fear? I had played with other kids and I had called them friends at kindergarden, but somehow this felt serious. Really important. Whatever it was it didn't become hesitation because I just said yes and grabbed their hand. I don't remember what we did next but I do know that after 29 years we are still friends.

Can you believe that?

They even moved and changed schools and we still love each other.
The best part is we've known each other from our most raw innocence to know, so it's like we have the context to perfectly get our tune. Although I also think they can read minds. Because they are twins, you know? And sometimes they look at each other without speaken a word and laugh or do slight subtle changes in their glances and smiles and you can tell you are missing out a whole conversation haha... They are amazing. One of them is getting married this summer. I'm so happy. She's also a princess. They both are. The three of them, in fact, they have an older sister, though maybe I'd say she's a queen.
