also sorry for sending another request (will be just those two for now I promise) but could you do one about ways of meeting a childhood friend for the first time? to be more specific I was thinking of a childhood friend you meet while living in a certain type of neighborhood. like the one from "everybody hates chris", aka places that are kinda chaotic with all kinds of people there, one whose chaos you don't know how to deal with given your young age so you just kinda go with the flow, but when you get older and maybe move out, you think fondly of that place and realize it was a lot of fun.

𝜗ৎ 01. Since it was your first week in the neighborhood, your family decided to have a barbecue/potluck to showcase the house to their friends/other relatives; F/N (friend's name), who just happened to be walking down the street, saw (and smelled) all the food nearby, and instinctively walked right in as if it was their own home, asking for a plate. Your family happily fed them, and the two of you spent the rest of the afternoon together.
𝜗ৎ 02. When you were little, you collected something very specific (like food stamps or something like that); one day, while you were looking for new items for your collection, you ran into another kid who wanted the same thing. Both of your hands reached for the same item, and you both fought over it for quite a while until it finally broke. At the end of the day, you both proudly showed each other your collections and went out every day to look for more ever since.
𝜗ৎ 03. You went to the neighborhood playground, and since you were supposed to go barefoot on some of the games, you set your cute new shoes aside next to the others. After some time, you left so quickly that you ended up putting on another pair, and someone else took yours because they couldn’t find their own. Luckily, your mom/dad/someone else was clever and wrote your name and their phone number on the sole.
Years have passed, and ever since then, you’ve been sharing all kinds of clothes with each other.
𝜗ৎ 04. You’d been into the paranormal and adventures from a young age; since you’d just moved and didn’t know the area, you went out looking for an abandoned house to explore. And you found one—a big, dirty, and nearly ruined place.
You went in cautiously, and after a few seconds, you turned a corner. You ran into another kid. You both screamed so loud you almost peed your pants.
Both of you ran out in terror, thinking you’d seen a ghost.
𝜗ৎ 05. You had just moved in; it was summer break, and your family sent you out to explore the neighborhood to find something to do. Coincidentally, it was a local kid’s birthday, and they were celebrating in the park.
You walked by slowly to see what was going on, and the birthday kid happened to see you—they took your hand, gave you a bonnet, and asked if you wanted a big piece of cake. You had so much fun that you even had a sleepover (with the consent of both families, of course).
𝜗ৎ 06. Ever since you moved into the apartment complex, you’ve heard strange noises coming from the other side of your closet door—whispers, laughter, and so on. Every now and then, on instinct, you’d make strange noises yourself to try to scare away whatever was on the other side. Strangely enough, the kid living next door was experiencing the same thing…
Both of your parents thought your stories were hilarious, and they arranged for you to meet in person the next day.
