Brandon's dorm

"Well, that dose sound fun...You wouldn't mind?"she asked.

"well, yeah we are! Friends for ever if it's okay!"she said excited.

he grins goofily. Yup. he jumps into the air and extends a hand to her. why dont we take a shortcut to the lake

"Sure!"she said with a smile but reaches to take his hand.

he grabs her hand and flashes to the lake flying part of the way and running the rest. when they arrive he sets her down gently. i love this lake. its the first place we met and it has many treasures.

"Yeah, true. I mean, it's like the lake keeps hiding more special like things deep within it's waters for anyone to find and explore."she said with a calm smile on her face.

He smile and closes his eyes i wouldnt say that. if you noticed ive only taken you there once and the treasure that time couldnt be taken back. i wont take you to a treasure that can be removed.

"Yeah, you did but still, it's mostly a good way of exploring new places and stuff."she laughed with a smile.

i do collect some treasures but i leave the most valuable behind for others to admire. he scoops up a handful of sand and shakes it to reveal a clam. this is one of the most valuable things there are in this world. at least to me it is.

"wow, I see but I never knew you thought that was your most prized find here."she said while looking at the clam.

"Hmmm..is it for a special reason of what's inside?"she guessed with a smile.

he opens it and only a shelfish is inside. do you see now why this is one of the most valuable things to me.

Mellina looked at it but she smiled, nodding to answer to what he said.

prove it. why is this one of the most valuable things. his voice isnt a challenge.

"Um..Okay, I can try."she said while gently talking the clam from him.

it just sits there slowly closeing. any guesses yet?

"Hmmmm...something special in a clam.....something...."she muttered to herself to think of what makes it so special.

She kept holding the clam then looked at Brandon.
"Wait, does that mean that a clam can have something special inside of it? Like a pear or something?"

"Huh? it's still alive?"she asked surprised a bit while holding the clam in her hands.

Yeah, I believe so."she said, still holding the clam in her hands.
