:( that's sad. my best friend transferred to another school last year...
so...if you need ideas, think of what interests you share. like for example me and my best friend wrote a story together bc we both like writing. if you two both like something, do it together. maybe you two both like art or reading or something. you could have a mini book club or a collaborative something. you could have a sleepover (if you haven't already) and just do whatever interests you both. i hope this helped :)

Here are some random ideas:
- make ice cream sundaes
- discuss books at great length (there are a couple graphic novels that me and my best friend both love, and sometimes we read them aloud together with a specific voice for each character. It's actually really fun, especially if it's a particularly funny book)
- write a story/create a comic
- make a game
- make a mini cardboard carnival (we made rides and snack shops and stuff out of cardboard)
- do an escape room? I've never done one and have no idea if you can do it with two people but it sounds fun
- do some sort of camp or class -- summer's almost over but there might be some sort of art or writing workshop if you're interested in that kind of thing
Welp, that's all I can think of right now. Not sure if that was helpful -- it's just random things I've done or wanted to do with my best friend.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I honestly have never experienced that but I do have a few suggestions.
~Create friendship bracelets
~Give some extra hugs
~Have a sleepover
~Have a dance party
~Exchange addresses so you can be Pen Pals (letters are fun!)
~Build a puzzle together and name/act out the pieces (like they were people and the puzzle was an apartment building, I can explain more if you're intrested)
~Go out in a public place and sing a well-known song and see if any other people will join in
~Buy the same shirt same jeans and same shoes and wear them one whole day together (youcould even have the same pjs!)
~Pick out a book at a bookshop and make sure to get two copies
~Color bookmarks together
~Make a fun craft that means something to you two, or create a scrapbook of the good times you have
Yeah, I could go on and on. Hope you have fun!

So, I was gonna suggest everything Nyxie just did (sleepover, do a craft, pen pals, puzzle (idk about you but my bff moved and so sometimes we'll arrange a play date (btw we're also pen pals) and we'll spend HOURS on 1000 piece puzzles, just working, and it's rly rly nice (meanwhile the adults are like, why's it so quiet upstairs...?) but as I said idk if you guys are the kind of ppl who do that), but for the scrapbook, if you've read Annie's Life in Lists, it may be a cool idea what her friends did when she moved away. Basically, you guys can each get notebooks and doesn't have to be every day but when you have something you want to tell the other or are having a good/bad day or are just particularly missing each other, you can write a note in the notebook, and at the end of a year, exchange books, and you guys can write responses?? Idk if that would actually work tho. Maybe just email/text/write each other :)) But you should probably arrange a date to hang out also after your friend moves, and maybe take a yearly trip together if possible?? But as for now... maybe go on a sightseeing trip, do a movie night, take the day off and go somewhere together, hike... it really depends on what YOU GUYS like and want to do, but whatever you guys decide, hope it's fun! :)
