Happy Anniversary, Vartak.
I guess I`m following Ryuki`s
trend, and typing this for
Vartak`s first anniversary ever.
Exactly today, a year ago,
Hana joined us in our group.
I remembered how we discussed
this matter with each other
until we finally agreed to allow
her to become part of Varta.
At the time, we still called our
group Varta, until a month later,
in which we met as Vartak
for the very first time in a play
house called Chuck E Cheese.
I know we all had fun, and then
that was the point in which I
discovered that Hana was our
completion. She completed this
crazy group of fun - loving friends.
Without her, it wouldn`t be Vartak.
And now, I will, as Ryuki did,
type a rather long message to
all the Vartak members right now.
. R Y U K I .
You are one of the greatest
people I have ever met in my life.
I`m so happy that we`re friends.
I can not imagine life without you.
You bring the joy to me-- us.
We met in sixth grade. How ?
It was band class. We noticed
each other the first time the
woodwinds came into the band room.
Then Riku introduced us.
That introduction changed my life.
It`s been long since that time now.
Back then, we rarely argued over
anything. We agreed on almost
everything. I`ve grown more attached
to you over the years. Now I
am proud to call you my best friend.
I don`t care the weird looks that
other people give us. All I know
is that we`re having fun, as best friends.
As Vartak. As family. That is
all that really matters.
Now, we`ve stuck so close together,
people think that we`re twins. With
Amaye, we complete a triplet. It`s
amazing, isn`t it ? When growing close
to someone, you do seem to grow up
to look like them. A bit freaky,
but don`t you have an odd feeling that
it may actually be true as well ?
Ever since sixth grade, I have thought
of you as the glue to our group.
You are the one that keeps the group
together. If not for you, where would
Varta be right now ? Will Vartak even
exist now, if not for you ?
It`s hard to think of the answer.
But nonetheless, I do hope we are
friends forever, excluding all our future
plans. We`ll be best friends for life.
Because I know that I can not forget you.
I love you, Ryuki.
Thank you for bringing me to life.
. A M A Y E .
Amaye, the quiet one in our group.
Or, at least, was the quiet one.
Now you`re one of us. At the beginning,
we were exactly alike, weren`t we ?
We rarely talked, we were quite shy.
But until this day, I remembered how
we met exactly. It was during fifth grade.
We both made the baton team.
It was the first meeting ever for us.
Since we were shy, we found each other.
And we started talking, slowly, quietly,
away from all the other baton twirlers.
From that moment on, we hit it off.
We became instant best friends at the
beginning of sixth grade. And ever so
quickly, I became attached to you as well.
Now, look at us. Even if you attend
another school, we`re still in contact.
We`re still Vartak. We`re still family.
Amaye, when I met you, I knew that
we could become great friends. The moment
you had said ' hi ', and I replied back
was a moment that sparked friendship.
And throughout the sixth grade year,
we stuck together. Like glue, like best
friends. Everyone, even Mr. Travis
confused us. It was funny and frustrating
at that time that they call you me,
and they call me you. But we learned to
accept it, didn`t we ?
Remember the days in which we planned out
what to wear on the next day to be twins ?
It wasn`t even Twin Day, but we just dressed
alike. And remember that kid in the car rider
line that asked us if we were sisters,
and we both said no rather quickly.
Those were the good old times. Oh ! And
remember our mother`s cars ? We always
thought they had tracking devices, because
they always arrive at the same exact time !
I guess it`s fate, huh ? We can`t leave
until we both leave at the same time.
Like Ryuki, you are one of the greatest
people I have met ever. I hope our friendship
will not be destroyed in the future for
a stupid reason. I hope we`re best friends.
Forever. I truly do.
I love you as well, Amaye ~
Thank you for bringing me to life.

My, my, here`s our brave one.
Out of the group, you were the one that
spoke for us, Riku. Almost always in
sixth grade, you spoke for us.
For very cosplay skit we did, you
asked permission first. You were typically
our ringleader. Our first time meeting,
wow, we were in sixth grade homeroom.
Roxy-- he was the one that brought us
together. And seriously, that was a
wonderful deed of him. Now, we exist as
best friends. I am glad that I met you.
Out of the whole group, I think you
are the certain person I look up to,
siding Ryuki, Amaye, Roxy, and Hana.
I became more talkative, since you rubbed
that over to me, and I rubbed it to Amaye.
Aren`t you glad ? You changed my life by
forcing me to talk more ! And I`m truly
thankful for that matter.
Nonetheless, Riku, I`ve noticed, and
I`m pretty sure that others have noticed
as well. During this year . . . we`re
not that close. We don`t usually talk
as much. I know the reason why. The reason
why is because school has literally
torn our times together apart. When you`re
on Gaia or Myspace, I`m not, or when we`re
both on, we don`t talk to each other.
I even had an idea in which I thought you
were mad at me. It surely seemed like it.
But you and Ryuki assured me that you weren`t.
So I had to trust you, because I do.
I do trust you. Riku, you are, like I said
to the two others above, one of the best people
in the world that I have met. I can not
ask for a better friend than you.
I know now our futures will change.
We`ll have less and less time apart, but
aside from that, in our meetings-- it`s
just like sixth grade all over again. And I
really miss that, Riku. I really do.
I miss our arguments over couples, I miss
our talks on chatzy, our roleplays together.
We`re too busy to mind those now, are we ?
But hopefully, this year, we will grow close as
before. We`re already best friends,
we need to accomplish the goal of being
the bestest of friends. Because without you,
Riku, our group is not complete either.
You are our second glue stick.
And I love you, Riku.
Thank you for bringing me to life.
. R O X Y .
You`re the first member of the Vartak group
that I have met. We were in the same homeroom
in fifth grade. Even if we didn`t talk much,
we pretty much became friends. In sixth grade,
it was in October. You were the one that
knew everyone in the group. And with that,
you took the letters of each of our name,
and created this group of five. You named
us Vaart at first. You showed me this name
during dismissal, before the announcements
came on. I messed around with the letters and
got Varta. And that exactly, was how our group
came to be. Truthfully, you brought us together,
Roxy. Even if you attended only what, two of our
many, many meetings together, you are still
our leader. I may have never became close
friends with Riku or Hana if not for your
idea of creating this group. So thank you.
I mean it, Roxy. I thank you for that.
Our times together had grown enormous over
the years as they pass rather quickly.
Since fifth grade, we have grown as best friends.
You`re not exactly involved with us that much,
but since the beginning of sixth grade,
everything suddenly changed. We spoke to each
other more than ever, every chance we could.
It was funny, because we rarely knew each other
existed in fifth grade, until the very end
of fifth grade. And look what we are now.
That`s right, Roxas. Admit it.
We`re best friends. Just like Riku, Ryuki,
Amaye, and Hana, we`re family. Vartak.
I know I don`t have much to say, but the
very little thank you above, so I`ll just waste
a few more lines saying thank you.
Thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for bringing Varta, now Vartak, together.
I love you too, Roxy.
Thank you for bringing me to life.
. H A N A .
And last but not least, Hana,
our newest addition to the group Varta,
that now is called Vartak. You know, we should
have put you in our group ever since the beginning
and creation of our group. But sadly enough,
the only Vartak member that knew you was Riku.
But in seventh grade, that all changed.
Riku and Ryuki discussed it with us, we accepted
you and ever so slowly, we accepted you.
So now you`re one of us, Hana.
And I`m glad you are. We met for the first time
in sixth grade, our homeroom. Riku introduced us.
And again, like Roxy, she made an introduction
that literally changed my life.
In seventh grade, I grew close to you,
just as I had to the other Vartak members.
And that`s when we became the best of friends.
You, Hana, is our completion. I repeated myself,
and I know, but you are our completion.
Now, I can`t even say Varta-- it`s hard to.
I have to say Vartak. Because I got use to it.
I`m not disappointed in myself that I don`t
call our group Varta anymore. I`m proud to
call it Vartak. And even, typing Varta, I have
to hold back on the ' k '. It`s hard. I have
to press the backspace button a lot of times while
writing this journal entry. That`s because of
the ' k '. See ? You are really one of us.
Hana, like the others, you are one of the
best people I have met in my life.
Don`t ever think fo yourself as an annoyance to me,
or us. Because you`re not.
This year, we have really grown close.
So close that I can`t believe it at all that we
were not best of best friends in sixth grade.
Things change dramatically over seventh grade, huh ?
But that doesn`t matter. We`re best friends now.
How we think-- we`re almost like twins.
But of coarse, with Ryuki, triplets as well.
You, like all of the other Vartak members,
make me so happy when I see you.
Having a bad day, sadden, or something--
once one of you cross the hallways, I can`t
help myself but smile and say a quick hello.
I guess that`s what best friends do.
I love you, Hana.
Thank you for bringing me to life.
I do truly love all of you guys.
And like I stated at every end,
you bring me to life, you make my life
complete. I thank you all for that.
I don`t even know what I`m doing now.
I`m crying and I`m smiling as I continue to
type this, just like I did when I read Ryuki`s
dedication to us.
And like Ryuki said ;
We`re Vartak now. Since September 5, 2008.
We became family. And this family will hold
strong. We will fight through everything.
We will stand for ourselves. We will
continue to be friends forever.
And God knows.
It`s 11 : 58 on September 5, 2009 now.
I made it. After typing this message for
over an hour. I made it in thanking
Vartak at the last minute.
I know I missed a lot, but there is too much to type.
As long as our memory holds, we`re forever family.
Thank you Vartak, once more.
I love you all.
