Nanachan was looking back at her reflection in the mirror.

She adored the dress she was wearing. It was white mixed in with a lot of pink. With a big checkered bow between the collar and lots of pink lace at the hem.

It was a dress given to her by her mommy for the party.

Nanachan was 5.

Nanachan looked at the reflection of her big sister Nao at the mirror beside hers

She was tying a checkered ribbon on nana's hair.

then she saw her little sister nami playing with her dolls.

Like nanachan, they were both wearing new dresses, both really cute dresses.

But not as cute as mine Nanachan thought.

And then she looked at her mommy all dressed up., trying to put lipstick on.

Pretty, nanachan thought.

Then her father came inside the room, approached her mommy and said

" you look beautiful "

Nanachan's mommy gives him a kiss.

Nanachan's eyes grow big with wonder.

Nanachan grabs a crayon lying around and a piece of paper with numbers in it.

(she ignores the numbers and started drawing at the back)

She drew a prince and a princess holding hands with lots of flowers in the background.

Nanachan was drawing with a single thought in her head.

~ when I grow up, I'm gonna get married to a boy who'll love me so much and then I can give him kisses and so I can dress up for him like mommy and daddy. And after that ,

We'll have really cute children and I'll give them all really cute dresses!~

Nanachan heard her mommy calling for her.

Nanachan hid the paper in her pocket and ran for the door, ready to attend the party.

After a 13 or so years have past….

Nana was at home, dressing up her daughter satsuki in the dress she found back at her old house. It was the same dress she wore and for the same occasion. A party celebrating the union of two people. A marriage party.

Nana was fixing the ribbon on satsuki's hair.

They were in front of a mirror.

Nana felt nostalgic.

Then , as nana was smoothing the creases of the pink laces, she notices a piece of peper,

Sticking out of the pocket.

Nana takes it.

Nana looks at it and remembers, all those years before, the wish she made for herself.

Nanachan begins to cry, but with a smile on her face.
