There once were two families who lived near each other. Both families became very close, epecially the two youngest daughters of each family, Mindy and Elizabeth. They became inseperable from the start.

Mindy: Hi, my name is Mindy what's yours?

Elizabeth: My name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Liz, even though I hate that name.

Mindy: Yeah, my mom calls me Dee, and I don't know why?

Elizabeth: Who knows, I think my mom is really crazy sometimes... or a lot of the time.

Mindy: Haha, I thought it was only my mom.

Elizabeth: No my mom is too, haha

Even through Middle School the two were still together all the time. They were involved on the same softball team, chorus choir, and Students Against Drunk Driving(SADD). At a softball game one evening Coach Rob tries to calm the two girls down after a terrible loss:

Mindy: ELIZABETH! HOW DID YOU MISS THAT FLY BALL?! IT WAS RIGHT THERE!!

Elizabeth: I DON'T KNOW MINDY, MAYBE IF YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PITCHED IT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!!

Mindy: WELL IT'S BASICALLY YOUR FAULT WE LOST!

Elizabeth: MY FAULT?

Mindy: YES YOUR FAULT!

As Elizabeth starts to walk over and punch Mindy Coach Rob comes in the dugout.

Coach Rob: Now girls, you both can't get on each others case like you are! Look at what you both did wrong and grow and get better from that. Next game will be better, just keep your heads up!

Mindy: ...He's right, I'm sorry I flipped out on you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth: I'm sorry I flipped out on you to Mindy!

Coach Rob: There ya go! Now, we have practice on Monday, come with good attitudes!

Mindy & Elizabeth: We will Coach!

Then Sophmore year a tragedy hit in Mindy's family. Mindy's father had liver failure and held on as long as he could. The one day in November he passed on before us. Both girls trying to talk through tears:

Elizabeth: Mindy! I heard about your dad... how are you holding up?

Mindy: Not good at all Elizabeth, it's so hard. I never thought he would leave me!

Elizabeth: I know babe, everything is going to be fine.. you'll see.

Mindy: How can you even say that?! Your dad is alive!

Elizabeth: I know Mindy, but everything happens for a reason, you just have to let go.. and let God.

Mindy: Don't start with all the Jesus crap Elizabeth, I'm not in the mood to deal with any of it.

Elizabeth: I know, you never are. But the invitation for Church with me on Sunday is still there.. you know?

Mindy: Yes, yes I know.

Elizabeth's family always went to Church, every Sunday. Although Mindy's family used to go to Church much of the time, they stopped going when Mindy's father started falling ill. Ever since Elizabeth has been trying to get Mindy to return, but she has yet to budge.

Then it was Senior year. Both Mindy and Elizabeth were so ready to get out of high school. But they had to get through the last stepping stone first: Prom. Elizabeth was "in love" with this boy named Matt. But when Mindy decides she wants to go with Matt, the tension rises.

Mindy: Hey Elizabeth! Who were you thinking of going to prom with?

Elizabeth: I don't know yet Mindy, I really want to go with Matt more than anyone.. Why?

Mindy: Matt Conner?

Elizabeth: yes.... you know I've liked him for a long time now...

Mindy: Ohh you liked that Matt Connor? The tall blonde?

Elizabeth: You know all of this, why are you acting stupid?

Mindy: Cause I just asked him to go and he said yes! you're right, he is so gorgeous!

Elizabeth: I cannot believe you!! You know what, I should have known you would do this. All you ever do is think about yourself, that's all you ever did!!

Mindy: Now come on Liz!

Elizabeth: Don't ever call me Liz, you know I hate that! And as far as I'm concerned our friendship is over, and I mean it Mindy! You really went to far this time!

Mindy: Li...Elizabeth! It's just prom!

Elizabeth walks away

Mindy: ...So are we shopping for dresses Saturday still? I'll call you? ... ELIZABETHHHH!

The two best friends who everyone thought would never part, suddenly parted. They never talked again after that day. Mindy took Matt to prom, and Elizabeth ended up with a date she did not really favor. Of course they would run into each other every once in awhile at Wal-Mart. Both would say "Hi" and be on their seperate ways. Everyone tried to get them to make-up with each other, but both were to stubborn to apologize. They both won offices of their student body. When it came time for their 5th year reunion, they both had to sit by each other for the first time in almost 5 years.

When Elizabeth finds that her and Mindy are seated at the same table she immediatly becomes infuriated.

Elizabeth: No, I'm not sitting anywhere near her. This is ridiculous!

Tom(Elizabeth's husband): Elizabeth, stop causing a scene. Just sit down, it won't be that bad I'm sure. It's been 5 years, just let it go.

Elizabeth: Okay, but if anything happens I'm leaving.

Tom: Okay hunny.

Little do Elizabeth and Mindy know that their husbands planned for the two of them to sit at the same table.

Mindy and her husband walk in and see Elizabeth sitting at her table.

Mindy: Ohh no! I refuse to sit at that table with her!

Mindy's husband(Albert): Ohh just sit down stop acting like a baby. Hello Tom, hello Liz.

Mindy: (Sarcastically) OH do not call her Liz! she will flip out on you! she hates it!

Elizabeth: Good memory Mindy, and hello Albert nice to see you.

Albert: Likewise Elizabeth. And Mindy just shut up and calm down.

Mindy: Okay I'll sit here but I won't like it.

Elizabeth: You always were so damn stubborn, haha nothing has changed about you at all.

Mindy: Nothing has really changed about you either.. Minus a few greys in that hair of yours, haha.

Elizabeth: Wow thanks, I needed that one. But with 4 kids and I'm working full time, it's allowed to be a little grey

Mindy: No way! 4 kids! I should've guessed.. you always did love kids.

Elizabeth: Yeah, how many do you and Albert have?

Mindy: Oh just one, Max, you know I was never completely found of kids.

Elizabeth: Yes, yes I remember now. Hey, I'm going to go get some punch. Do you want anything?

Mindy: You know, I'm just going to come up with you...

Mindy and Elizabeth leave to get drinks. Tom and Albert are still at the table, amazed that it worked out so well.

Tom: Did this really just work so perfectly or am I dreaming?

Albert: I don't know... pinch me.

Tom pinches Albert harder than he should have.

Albert: OUCH! why'd you do it so hard?

Tom: Sorry man, but I guess it's real. haha


The two couples have an amazing rest of their evening. And later both Mindy and Elizabeth keep in contact and become best friends again and live happily ever after.


THE END.
