hi, I realized a day after making my account that my favorite character's name was available, so i moved over to this one haha!
Anyway, basically, i met a girl up the street around the end of the school year. That day, she came over to my house, and that night i noticed that my tamagotchis had disappeared. I found the leash i had put on them a few months later in her room, but she made up some lie about me "letting her borrow it to show her mom" or whatever. That was when i stopped hanging out with her as much and started hanging out more with the girl who lived next door to her (who later ended up becoming my best friend after thief moved away lmao). Best friend later told me that thief had made her help destroy two tamagtochis right around the time mine would have gone missing. She was four years younger than thief and I, and six year olds don't have the best memory, but she was pretty sure they had been the same colors as mine, which kinda confirmed that thief had stolen (and destroyed) them!
we were kinda unified the moment she moved away because best friend hated her as much as i did for other reasons. At least i got a friend out of the ordeal!
