Ricky & Taylor trough time
-
age 2
"Lory!" A small boy exclaims as he lets go of his fathers hand to run up to his friend. 
"Icky!" The girl giggles, having trouble pronouncing the boy his name, he can't say his A's and she can't say the R's. 
Which all grown ups find absolutely adorable whenever they hear the two interact. 
Well, as best as they can interact, Ricky had just turned two while her second birthday is in 6 months, so their speech isn't that good. 
"Rick, I'll pick you up at dinner time. When I'm done with work." Mike speaks up, whenever any of the parents have to work the other set of adults will watch the kids. 
"Okay, bye dad." While most kids wouldn't like saying goodbye to their parents, especially at this age they don't mind. 
The house next door is practically their second home. 
"Wnn play?" Ricky asks the girl, who nods her head. 
She stands up, making her way to their playroom, all their favorites toys are in here.
Yeah, their toys. They share them, the room is filled with toys which actually belong to her mixed with toys Ricky brought from his own house and just left it here. 
She instantly went to the doll which looks like a baby, her favorite toy here. 
Meanwhile Ricky goes to the cars and starts playing with them. 
It doesn't take long till they somehow merged their seperate playing in one, woth both the doll and car. 
They always end up playing together, they'll find a way.

4 year old
At the age of four the two went to kindergarten. It was weird for them, being in a different place the. their houses, this time with even more kids here. 
It especially was weird seeing Ricky was alone there for a few months seeing he is a bit older then the girl, meaning he spended 6 months without seeing his best friend the whole day. 
He wasn't making any new friends, and if he did talk to someone the name 'Lory' was always brought up in someway. 
When Ricky one day entered the room, smiling with a girl walking in behind him, looking around with shy eyes, people started to realize who Lory is. 
"And this must be Taylor." A woman walks up to them, kneeling down infront of the two as she smiles sweetly at the girl. 
The brunette slowly peeks behind Ricky's arm, waving at the woman for a second before quickly lowering her arm. 
Yeah, Taylor isn't that well at interacting with strangers. 
Ricky frowns as he watches his best friends. "Whit are you doing? stop icting weird."
The girl her face turns red at his words before she glares at him.
The woman chuckles. "She's just a bit shy, Ricky."
Ricky looks at the girl. Taylor? Shy? He never saw Taylor shy, he never thought she was shy. "Lory isn't shy." He states. 
"I think she is, buddy. I just think you have never seen her shy because she feels at ease with you."
