    Tom was sitting on a swing, his eyes sparkling with joy. He loved spending time at the park, especially with his best friend.

    Soon, Jerry joined him. They had been friends since they could remember. Their laughter filled the air, making the park a happier place.

    Resting under the tree, they talked about their dreams and made a promise. They promised to be each other's prom dates when they went to college.

    They sealed their promise with a pinky swear, their faces serious. They knew this promise was important, it was a testament to their friendship.

    Now in college, Tom and Jerry still remained the best of friends. They had shared countless experiences and were always there for each other.

    One day, Jerry looked at Tom with a serious expression. It was time to talk about the promise they made years ago.

    Jerry confessed that he liked a girl in their class. He wanted to ask her to the prom but remembered the promise he made to Tom.

    Tom was taken aback but quickly regained his composure. He realized that their friendship was stronger than any promise.

    Tom reassured Jerry that he should follow his heart. He told him that their friendship would not change because of a promise they made as children.

    Jerry took Lily, the girl he liked, to the prom. Tom was there too, cheering his friend on. The promise was broken, but their friendship remained unshaken.
