Woah... now here's a pic with some Jimistie history.

Nearing on six years ago, now, Mistie and i first met through the ole LE RPG. We had a lot of fun there, and became buddies, talking OOC in posts and on the OOC board, emailing a little, and eventually chatting on MSN and striking up a true friendship from there. Our characters of the time became a couple due to the fact that i had a crush on her, she had a crush on me.... and yet neither of us thought to say anything to the other. (Hell, i was shy.)

At one point i sketched this. Yes... this picture is actually nearly 6 years old. I scanned the sketch and sent it to her in an email, saying something incredibly lame along the lines of "Oh, gee, i was just doodling in class.. and look who popped up on my sketchbook!"

And then, a little while ago when thinking of what to make her for a small anniversary gift, being i wasn't going to be able to spend the day with her like last year... i remembered this, and sort of thought to myself that it might be cute to color it and give it to her. I'd always intended to re-draw it and color it for her at some point.... but why re-draw something that was so absolutely cute and filled with a happiness from our past that deserves a bit of recognition?

...besides, it's a lot better than most of my work from that long ago. XD

So! Here it is. The very very first picture i ever drew for my lady love, over a half a decade ago when i was but a blushing 19 year old and we were just buddies. It's Tachiguy and Achikochi (Otachi and Nidoran-F respectively.).

....whoever guessed that a fat ferret and a blue bunny could unknowingly forsee so much that we couldn't, eh baby?

EDIT: Because Coral is a pervert and noticed the bottom image could be taken in so many wrong ways, i'd just like to point out that that is them after having a food fight, and nothing more. XD It was like... cereal and honey and canned fruit, i believe. But a food fight, nonetheless!!
