The Best Friends

The Best Friends--a short story I made with my friend Christina

Once there were two friends. There was Coconut, the snow white stallion, and Buttercup, the playful Beagle puppy. They remembered meeting on a shady day in the barnyard field. Buttercup was only two months old, and Coconut was only a foul. They had both been curious to explore the unknown and make new friends.
When Buttercup had asked Coconut to be her friend, Coconut gladly answered, "I would love to be! Today is my first day out in the pasture, and I have already made a new friend!"
They discovered many things about each other. They both lived on a farm in Kentucky. Coconut lived in the stables, while Buttercup lived in Master's house.
Buttercup and Coconut would play every day in the pasture. They had many adventures together. They both remembered the time when they ventured into the great unknown forest. Even though they were frightened of the noises and creatures said to be living in the forest, they enjoyed exploring and finding that the forest wasn't as scary as they thought it was.
Coconut and Buttercup lived all of their lives together on the old Kentucky farm. Everyone knew them as not just Buttercup, or not just Coconut, but Coconut and Buttercup. They were like sisters--there was not an experience either one of them remembered alone. They were inseparable.
Inseparable, that is, until Coconut was sold to a farm in Tennessee. They remembered the day well, when a master from another farm inspected Coconut in every way. The words, "She's good. I'll take her." had broken their hearts. They were to never see each other again.
A few weeks after Coconut was taken, Buttercup decided she would find a way to see her best friend. And without knowing Buttercup's decision, Coconut decided she would find a way to see Buttercup. The two friends set out on their journeys early the next morning.
In the misty morning, Buttercup set out through the forest. She was nervous, but remembered her experience with Coconut and kept going. She tried her hardest to ignore the mysterious sounds and peering eyes lurking through forest. She sprinted on to Tennessee.
Meanwhile, Coconut galloped through the wild fields of Tennessee to the farm where she was born. She was so happy to be going to her home and seeing her best friend again. She hadn't liked it at all in Tennessee. It was all too different. No one dared make friends with her and thought she was odd. They were too concerned about being "broken".
And suddenly the friends saw each other and couldn't believe their eyes. They both had traveled far just to see the other. They truly were friends and never again were separated.

The End
