Introduction: Chiko and Soma.
"Hachi!" Chiko looked up squinting through the summer sun. Soma waved to her excitedly, hopping over the fence with ease. It was a hot summer day and she was paws deep in mushing berries in a kiddie pool for a special meal later on. Why she decided to do so in her backyard instead of a kitchen where she had easy access to the sink or a towel, she'll ask herself later. "Soma....my name is Chiko..not Hachi" "But Hachi is so much cuter!" Chiko rolled her eyes and lifted her front paws, eyeing the red good thoughtfully "But Hachi is basically another name for dog.....so I would just be named dogdog"
"Actually. more like dog legs. or leg dog.." Soma waltzed around Chiko with a grin, Chiko eyed her warily.
"And boy you have some dog legs"
"what are you eeEEE"
Chiko found herself face first into the pool of goo as she was pushed, Soma laughing as she lifted her face, raspberries dripping off in clumps.
"Soma...."
Soma paused, hearing Chiko growl menacingly and she nervously stepped backwards, her tail finding itself between her legs.
Chiko lifted herself and backpedaled, catching Soma off guard by laughing hysterically. Chiko grabbed the startled Soma by the scruff of her neck, taking the other dog by surprise and throwing her in the pool with a smirk. Soma slipped through the berry goo with surprise,
"AHCK CHIKO I'M STICKY NOW"
Chiko smirked, "serves you right!" Soma growled, her tail whipping back and forth.
"oh yeah?"
Soma leaned forward, and pulled Chiko by her collar forward, fully into the kiddie pool. Chiko screamed , feeling covered from head to toe in stickiness. Soma laughed taking a pawful of goo and pouring it for good measure on top of Chiko's head. Unable to stay mad, Chiko tackled Soma, beginning a weird game of rasberry goo wrestling.
Chiko who would later scold herself for the wasted raspberries. Would have zero regrets for what had just happened.
Moments like that, after all, are the most precious. Especially to two best friends who had known each other since puppyhood.
This is their story.

Secondary: The picnic
Chiko eyed the garden gate. Restraining himself from thumping his tail anytime he saw a random passerby step close to his home. He invited Soma over for a get together. The two pups haven't really hung out together in around a month or so and now that things had let up education wise, he could actually look forward to time with his best friend. He sat in his garden eyeing the basket he filled earlier. He packed all their favorites, a few meaty sandwiches, a couple of waters and tea for Soma. Soma claimed she was bringing some snacks too, but wouldn't say exactly what they may be. Chiko whined a little, she was late. Where was she? is she ok why hasn't she called is she-
"Hac-hi!!!!"
Chiko looked up breathing a sigh of relief seeing the brown pup waving to him from the garden gate, carrying a large blanket and a basket of her own.
"you're late" He smiled, Soma rolled her eyes playfully and dropped the basket on the ground.
"Come on, we're going to the park right?"
"sure we can get there before sundown?"
"jerk" she snorted. "I'm not THAT late"
Chiko smirked at his friend and grabbed his picnic basket in his jaws, leading her out of the garden.
By the time they made it to the park, The sun had already set mostly, earning a triumphant laugh from Chiko and a snort from Soma. "well....I guess I was a LITTLE late". Chiko smiled "This was suppose to be a Lunch....thing, remember?"
He laughed as Soma huffed, laying out the blanket underneath a large tree. "whatever, We'll just make it a dinner date."
Chiko shut up real quick, Soma looking over her shoulder and smirking towards him. "What? you think I didn't notice you avoiding to use 'date' in your sentences?" Chiko shook his head flushing.
"er well I mean...I um, no Its not I mean, uh"
"Chill dude!" Soma trotted forward and rested a paw on Chiko's head, Chiko's ears went back slightly. "It's a friendship date! No pressure. aw dude! you're blushing so bad right now. Does the word date really affect you that much?" Soma laughed hard, pressing both front paws to his face and he felt himself pout. "a-a little not that I mean.....ugh" Soma laughed loudly, and Chiko huffed, shaking his hair over his eyes. "dude! what kind of bestie would I be if I didn't tease you about this."
Soma shook her head in amusement and plops herself down on the blanket, patting the blanket next to her. "Come on I'm starved!"
Chiko sat down next to her and they promptly raided both baskets, Soma pulling out a roast beef sub from Chiko's basket and Chiko glancing into her basket and squealing, his tail thumping on the ground in happiness.
"Mochi!! You made Mochi??" Soma smiled.

"Yep! but it's not just any mochi. Its you're favorite, raspberry ice cream mochi. Made it myself!" Chiko's mouth water and his ears pricked up, he eyed her happily. "Was this why you were late today?" Soma nodded, taking a big bite out of her sub. He stared at the raspberry ice cream mochi in awe.
By no means were the mochi perfect, but the time and love put into them were very apparent, she eve drew little cute smiley face on them with chocolate!
Soma reached over and lightly pushed Chiko on his shoulder. "Go on, try one!! I wanna see what you think". No argument needed, he reached in for a mochi and took a bite out of the cute ball, nearly moaning at the sweetness and pure tanginess of the ice cream inside. "Is there chocolate in this??" Soma nodded happily, taking a swig of water. "Yep! I filled them with some dark chocolate...I read somewhere that it goes really well with berries...do you like it?"
"Like it I love it!! this is perfect!!" Chiko truthfully smiled, eating up the rest of the ball in bliss. He left the rest of them digging into the other food and sharing the icecream with Soma. By now, the sun had set completely and the two were eating and joking under the stars with nothing but the moonlight to illuminate their surroundings.
After all of the mochi were devoured and the subs eaten. The two friends laid on their backs laughing at old memories. Soma gazed at the stars thoughtful for a few moments and Chiko glanced briefly at her. "Hey. food for your thoughts?"
Soma snorted "No way dude, I'll puke if I think about food again" Chiko rolled his eyes and shifted. "no duh, not what I meant anyway." "how about a penny?" "hmm? " "penny for your thoughts?" Chiko blinked and lightly clipped Soma over her ears, inciting a giggle from her. "As I was saying..." Chiko glanced up at the stars and sighed, his eyes tracing patterns in the sky. "How are things with....you know...." Soma glanced over at him with a unusual frown, the subject matter taking a turn for the serious. "Fine I guess, its been taking up most of my time but that's life you know? what about you" Soma glanced over to Chiko briefly. "Selling more and more Jams each day. its my whole life....but honestly canning berries is getting kinda redundant."
"want me to come over so we can berry wrestle again?" Chiko laughed and shook his head at the thought, Soma found herself giggling too "Nope! that was a big waste of money. a whole weeks worth of berries. gone." Both friends let out a huge sigh. "Growing up sucks" Soma grumbled and Chiko sighed, letting out a mumbled agreement. They both lie in silence for a few moments and soma shifts a little. "hey....you know that school I applied for..?" Chiko glanced at her and nodded "The art college right? the one in the USA for digital design...NYU right?" She nodded and smiled timidly "that's the one...I got in". Chiko blinked, and glanced over for confirmation."...seriously?"
"yup." "You're being 100% no pulling my tail" Soma sat up and huffed but smiled amusedly "what? no faith in me? yes I got in. I was accepted-WAH" Chiko sprung up and tackled Soma to the ground in a crushing hug squealing in delight, his tail wagging excitedly. "That's GREAT news oh my gosh!! You're gonna live in New york....you---you're moving" Soma and Chiko let go with the sudden realization clouding the excitement with a somber air. Soma nodded. "I-its my dream so I had to take it.. you're ok right?" Chiko shook his head, "I'm ok, yeah I'm really going to miss you but...NYU....that's great news!" Soma glanced at him and smiled slightly "Really, no 'pulling my tail'?" Chiko nodded, his own heart clenching but knowing he had to be strong for Soma. No way was he going to let Soma miss out on her dream opportunity. Of course he wanted to be selfish and have her close forever. But again life moves on. they're no longer kids and that single branch of life changing news under the stars only made that more apparent.▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣


Tertiary: forever is a long time
It's been a whole year since she parted ways with Soma. They had both graduated schooling and Chiko had taken over her parent's jam business, becoming a rather workaholic. Parting ways with her best friend since forever was the hardest thing she ever had to do, but as life went on she was happy that she went and made something of herself in the long run. Every once in a while Soma would send her a postcard with a nice paragraph written onto it. But as the year went by those came fewer and far between as obligations hit them both hard. the months leading up her departure, Soma had made it a point to make Chiko raspberry ice cream mochi at least once per two weeks as a gift. Since then, he;s made it a point that he wouldn't touch any sort of mochi till they saw each other again, but when would that be? months? years? possibly a decade?.
The days went by quickly and soon it became two years. Her letters came less and less and Chiko fell into a rut within themself. Until one day a few years later in the beginning of june.
Chiko huffed as the door bell rung out in the quietness of the store. Nobody was really supposed to be in here yet, because the store did not really open till nine. Chiko was still tired from a bad night's sleep and being it was a common occurrence that customers who were tourists and didn't know about the town came in earlier and had to be ushered out until he could properly set up shop. He walked into the front of the shop rubbing the crust out of his eyes "Excuse me but we're not open yet could you please come back in an ho-" Chiko's sentence cut off as the invader tackled him unexpectedly, Looking down, his eyes widened and he felt his heart jump. "whats up dude?"
"Soma"
He looked down at his best friend in complete awe and swiftly returned the hug with just as much enthusiasm as she had. A slight bit taller than she had been prior, and he hair was longer but she was the same friend through and through.
After the enthusiastic and bone crushing hugging fest that lasted a good hour. Chiko closed shop for the day to spend time with Soma for the first time in two years. She of course, brought him the gift of Raspberry chocolate Mochi Ice Cream that she made herself. Better made than the first time because she practiced overseas.
Soma tells her that she was transferring back home because her visa was being cancelled due to an incident with one of the professors. Soma was always a feisty one so Chiko wasn't very surprised but was delighted to know that Soma was coming back home. However, it would be discovered later that Soma had lied, and another event would further change them forever..▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣
The tragedy of Soma
Later on it was discovered that Soma was very sick. After finding out that was the real reason for her coming back home. Chiko did everything within her power to help Soma get better. Soma continued to gift Chiko with Raspberry Ice Cream Mochi from time to time but it became very apparent that she was becoming weaker faster and faster. Chiko began a charity to help pay for Soma's treatment using their Jams and donations from others in the community. Soma would gift Chiko her machi recipe eventually and Chiko would almost every waking day by Soma's side in the hospital.
This lasted for another year but no matter what Soma kept getting weaker and weaker. Some days she would be feeling better and others she would spiral back into something worse. Chiko ended up being there the night she passed away only three years later.
Chiko went deep into mourning for their lost friend.
A few years later, they would hand off their Jam shop and open an icecream parlor to serve special geltos, mochis and ice cream treats to the town. And the store special would be named: 'Soma's Special'. Which of course was the raspberry chocolate mochi she had made for her years before. To this day, that remains her favorite food overall, and will remain that way for years to come...
