Imaginary Friend(Liru)

"Soo where do you live?" "Near the woods" "Wait really so that's why you always hang out here, you don't get out here sometimes?" "Well sometimes" "Oh ok do you have friends aside from me?" "Well no the town thinks i'm weird and they always ignore me, rejecting me." Paru said upset. "Oh you're just like me but i have a few friends in our previous town, they're just as weird as me" Liu stated trying to cheer up Paru. "No one hasn't figured out where I am yet" Paru said putting her hands behind her head. "Huh that's stranged that's how i guess you  don't live near but deep in the woods right?" Liu thought suspiciously "Uh yeah yeah that yeah." Paru stuttered something is suspicious with the fox. Something unsettling it's... strange for the young bug but a call was interrupted by the fox. "Oh Liu since Halloween is 2 days ahead, want to join me for trick or treat?" Paru cheerfully asked assuming that her friend will say yes. "Of course i loved to, I'm gonna surprised you with my costume!" Liu excitingly said so as a competition on who has the best costume. Paru determined and excited as well for the upcoming event. "Well let's see then." The two chatted, played well the usual things kids do.  They enjoyed each other's company and have fun. It's almost sunset and the young bug bid a goodbye to his friend. "Can't wait for it Liu i'm so excited!" Paru couldn't held her excitement. "Well see you so---" the young bug enable to finish his statement, his friend disappeared already like thin air. He couldn't wait as well.....

------Halloween-----

Liu waited outside for his friend in their house porch. His legs crossed and his elbow rested on his knees. His face rested at his hands, the fox is taking so long his brows scrunched and worried. He closed his eyes for time to pass, just then he opened it and realized it was her. "Hey you took so long!" Liu complained he can't take on waiting that long his friend. "Well atleast I'm here right?" Paru stating atleast she is here and not away without Liu contenting his friend. Paru weared like a jester outfit same patterned as her shirt whenever they will meet. Liu weared an outfit of a mad scientist not amusing though. They both examined each other's outfit, until they started bragging in each other's costumes causing a childish ruckus. Until a creak is heard at their door 

"What's going on here?" A familiar and confused voice is heard. The two looked at the source and it turn out to be the mother of the grasshopper. "Oh mom sorry hehehe" the grasshopper apologized for the ruckus he and his friend made that caused a tiny comotion. "Who are you fighthing with sweetie?" his mom asked in confusion. "Oh mom this is my friend that i was talking all about!  Meet Paru!" Liu answered picking an answer for his mother. "Oh well hello Paru" she greeted cheerfully. Paru didn't said anything and just smiled. "So mom who do you think has a better costume? " Liu bragged showing of the coat but Paru just stand so still like a statue like nothing's happening.
