"Like two birdies.."
I flap my wings.
"In a nest."
I hug Ruby Roses as if we were cuddling in a nest.
"Two friends are the very best!"
We each clap each others hooves together.
"Like two berries..."
Hugs again.
"On a vine..."
Holding hooves...
"Best friends always make it shine!"
Twirl around like a star twinkling and shining...
"One!" I call.
"T-two..." Ruby staggers.
All together now...
"I really like you!" We sing in unison, as we hug.
"Thank you for singing me the best friend song. It makes me feel a little better." Ruby hesitantly whispers. I pull the quilt on her bed up over her neck. Her little green eyes peer up at mine, as ill as her body. I stroke her head. All I can do is stare back at her, scared and nervous for her life and her existence.
