## Relationships

### Amy

Amy and Jemmah have been best friends since kindergarten when they were only toddlers. When they were first becoming friends, Amy and Jemmah learned to deal with one another and their opposite personalities at the time, Jemmah often scaring Amy and finding her annoying early on before learning to 'cope' with it. In Grade 4, she and Amy came up with a secret code that consisted of sticking out their tongues to one another, a sign eventually revealed to mean '**Best Friends Forever**'. In Chapter 2, the last thing Amy sees of her home planet are her friends Dylan and Jemmah waving goodbye to her, poking her tongue out with tears in her eyes.

Growing up without Amy felt as if a piece of her life had been taken away from her. It had been revealed that Jemmah missed Amy dearly for the next 30 years. When Amy finally contacted her for the first time, Jemmah is relieved and happy to talk to Amy again, sharing her photos, stories, videos and a letter she wrote after Amy's departure, one she knew she could never send to her. She still cares a lot about Amy's wellbeing, willing to step in and offer advice when she can despite the different time zones.
