"Come on, the stream is just up ahead!"
Naiya hopped after her best friend, who had decided to show her their favorite "secret spot" today. It was a warm day but slightly windy, and her hair kept blowing in her eyes.
Soon enough they came upon a humble little brook that was flowing gently along a pebble covered floor. The pair happily stepped into the stream to cool their paws, occasionally splashing each other mischievously. But one time Naiya's friend splashed a little too hard, and-
"Woah!" They fell over, landing on their rear in the water and kicking up a few pebbles. Naiya nearly doubled over with laughter, earning a sarcastically annoyed look from her friend. She bounded over to inspect one of the rocks that had gone flying, which had landed on the shore. She gasped.
"Look over here! This pebble looks just like a heart!" She squealed in excitement. Her friend peered over her shoulder and gushed in agreement.
"Let's find more!"
Thus began the search. The two rabbits waded through the whole stream, looking for sparkly, colorful, or uniquely shaped rocks. Naiya's bag was nearly overflowing by the time they were satisfied. Once they got back to her friend's house, they laid all the pebbles out side by side. Some of them they turned into pet rocks, others were piled into a vase to be used as a gift, and still others were used to decorate her friend's room. Eventually, there was only one pebble left- the heart-shaped one that Naiya had originally noticed. As they pondered what to do with it, her friend's father poked in to check on them.
"Hmm... what if we made some necklaces?" He offered. The friends gave each other confused glances, but followed him outside anyway. There he took a chisel and carefully split the rock in half down the middle, and then drilled a small hole at the top of each one. He gave the pieces back to the now excited friends, who hurried back inside and painted them a lovely bright pink before carefully attaching them to some collars. Naiya wore hers all the time after that, and it always made her smile as it reminded her of that day with her best friend.

Eventually that friend had to move away, and Naiya was incredibly upset- she didn't know what she was going to do without them. She pawed her necklace distractedly before getting an idea.
That day she went back to the stream that she and her friend had had so much fun at all those times before. She spent a couple hours collecting pebbles from the water, all the while smiling to herself as she reflected on those memories. She went home later feeling much better, and returned to that same spot often to collect more. Even though her best friend didn't live near her anymore, she now had a fun new hobby that made it all just a little bit easier.
