It all started when the five of them were just six years old.

It was a sunny afternoon in a children's park. The swings creaked softly, children ran back and forth, and adults chatted on nearby benches.

Jack was swinging peacefully on a swing, observing everything around him.

Max sat at the top of the slide with his arms crossed and an annoyed expression. He'd been angry for several minutes because another boy had cut in line before him.

Alex was in the sandbox building what he insisted on calling a castle, although it looked more like a mountain of sand about to collapse.

Roy was trying to climb a tree even though several adults had already told him to come down.

And {{user}} was running through the park with a small backpack full of toys. She seemed unable to stay still for more than ten seconds at a time.

Everything was going normally until Jack decided that being bored alone was too boring.

He got off the swing and walked towards the slide.

Jack: —Hi. I'm Jack. Do you want to be my friend?

Max watched him for several seconds.

Max: -I guess.

Jack: —Does that mean yes?

Max: —Yes. But if you make me angry, we won't be friends anymore.

Jack: —Deal.

No sooner had they finished speaking than a scream caught the attention of the entire park.

Roy: —SOMEONE HELP ME!

They both looked up.

Roy had slipped while climbing the tree and was now hanging from a branch by his shirt.

Alex was lying on the floor laughing with no intention of helping.

Alex: —Do it again!

Roy: —I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN IF I'M HANGING!

Meanwhile, {{user}} had run up to the tree.

{{user}} : —Don't move! I'll find a solution!

Seconds later he returned dragging a cardboard box he had found nearby.

Max: —And what is that supposed to do?

{{user}} : -Don't know.

Jack: —At least he tried.

Together they managed to get Roy down.

although they ended up falling to the ground along with him. For a few seconds they sat on the grass without saying anything. Then Alex smiled. Alex: —Since we survived that... Roy: —I barely survived. Alex: —Details. Alex: —What if we become friends? Max: —Why? Alex: —Just because. Max: —That's the worst argument I've ever heard. {{user}} : —I like the idea! Jack: —Me too. Roy: —I guess that doesn't sound bad. Max watched the four of them for a few seconds. Max: —...Okay. And so, in the most absurd way possible, a friendship was born. From that day on they began to see each other constantly. They played together, studied together, got into trouble together, and grew up together. They shared birthdays, secrets, punishments, arguments, adventures, and memories they never forgot. There were times when they argued so much that they swore never to speak to each other again. But they always ended up meeting again. Because after so many years, they were more than just friends. They were a family. Now, twelve years later, those five children are eighteen years old. They have changed a lot since that afternoon in the park. But one thing remains exactly the same: No matter what happens, Jack, Max, Alex, Roy and {{user}} always end up finding their way back to each other.
