Flashback to July 2006
Coraline's POV

"You're running too fast, Iris!" I shouted as I tried to catch her. Iris and I were playing tag but she was incredibly fast.
"Not my problem!" she shouted back and laughed.
I rolled my eyes at her and suddenly I heard somebody bump into something.
"Ouch" the voice said.
"Iris?" I said and looked around.
I noticed her sitting next to a huge tree.
"What happened?" I asked as I helped her get up.
"Nothing, I just ran into a tree" she replied.
"Well...it's your turn to catch me!" I then said and ran away.

"Coraline, Iris! Would you guys like some lemonade?" my mom shouted.
Both of our eyes lit up with joy and we ran towards the front porch where my mother was waiting.
"There you guys are. Isn't it a bit too warm to play tag?" she laughed.
"Way too warm" we both agreed as we sipped our lemonade.
"How about we take a little trip to the beach? Since it's the weekend we could stay a little longer" she suggested.
"Yes!" Iris and I replied simultaneously.

My best friend and I went up to my room to pack towels, sunscreen, bikinis and a couple of other things we would need for the beach.
"I'm so excited!" Iris exclaimed.
"Me too!" I responded with a big smile.
"The red or the yellow bikini?" I asked her.
"Definitely red" she said and I nodded.

Once we finished packing, we all got into the car and my began driving.
"Do you think we will be friends when we're all grown up?" Iris asked completely out of the blue. I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, of course. Why are you asking?" I questioned.
She only shrugged and stared out the window.
"My mum told me that my dad and her were best friends when they were little but now they don't talk anymore" Iris explained and hung her head.
Her response saddened me.
"Let's make a promise that we will never ever stop being friends. Here, I made us friendship bracelets" I said and handed her a handmade bracelet.
Iris gave me a smile and put the little accessory on her wrist.
